â€œYes, I see. There is nothing we can really do about this right now. â€œ<br/>â€œYes Sir.â€ Koga watched the resident doctor bow respectably and walk away from his room, down the hall, and disappear into the elevator. He sighed lightly and shifted the collar of his dress shirt to lie just so against his neck. The doctor had told him that Mr. Aldermanâ€¦ Well he would actually prefer being called by his name Yuko which was something he had to remember to keep his honored guest a little less irritated with him, â€œSo you avoided the doctor anyway; such a child.â€ He mumbled with a sigh but did not show his own irritation in his expression; instead he went back inside his room where he proceeded to put on his warm black trench coat and wrapped his grey scarf tightly around his neck to keep him warm. He had to check the grounds like he did every day in order to make sure that everything was in order on the.  After he had put on his shoes he made his way through the hotel and outside into the crisp winter air. He always loved the feel of the afternoon winter chill against his skin. With his pale complexion the cold air easily gave his cheeks a light rosy color that women spent lots of time with their make-up to get to look as natural as his own. He also had long eye lashes that made women envious and even when he was a child he was teased for being considered pretty. So, he made up for his appearance by being politely cool, calculate, confident, seemingly in control, and in power. These factors helped him to become respected amongst his fellow business peers but never really his father. Though he did try his best but he understood that he was the youngest and that his older brotherâ€™s betrayal had deeply wounded his father.<br/>He sighed, stopped, and looked around himself at the surrounding area. He had been completely lost in thought and seemed to have aimlessly wandered along a familiar path. The particular path that he had taken led to Lake Ashi but first took him through a close by wooded area where the trees grew densely in some places. He had not really noticed anyone around and for once he felt like taking a little break. Spending a little time at the lake would do him some good especially with this stressful day that he had been having. His fatherâ€™s little personal assistant surprise had been annoying but just that morning he had found out that Fugiko had been pirating guests again by offering grand specials. That woman really pissed him off to no end but he knew that his calm demeanor was one thing she really could not stand. He let out a puff of air causing steam to appear in front of his mouth for a second from the warmth of his breath hitting the cold. Than he continued on his way, lost in thought, along the trail until he came to the lake which he stopped to stand by and look out over its peaceful waters. The water was as still as glass at the moment and every so often the wind would blow lightly and ruffle the dark strands of his hair causing it to cover his eyes slightly. He smiled lightly and closed his eyes, breathing in and out peacefully, and just relaxing for the moment before he had to return to work.<br/><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://factsanddetails.com/media/2/20091011-Wiki%20lake%20ashi%20749px-HakoneTorii2.jpg">[ img ]</a>
