Takeru wondered around the city. He had been here for a while now and found himself wondering about this place. As he made his way around he came across a very familiar looking house. The young lord slowly walked inside and looked around, things were dusty and all over the place but seemed still liveable. He stepped out into the back training area, looking around. This place should be back to normal after some cleaning up.

He picked up a broom that was laying to the side and started cleaning up the training area. He was at least home for now.

Ryuunosuke had made it back to the ship. While the planet had been nice - and interesting to say the least - he knew he had to get used to the ship and the city again. It was their home now, and already he knew there would be long periods of time where they wouldn't have any sort of shore leave.

So now he was wandering the city. But it wasn't long until he had seen the house, until he had seen Takeru. He swallowed as he looked around. There was no way... It couldn't possibly be...

He stepped toward the building, his breathing shaking as he placed a hand on the wall. His mind still couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing.

"N-no... This... This can't be..."

Takeru looked over at Ryuunosuke, setting the broom to the side.

"It is, it's the mansion."

Ryuunosuke dropped to his knees. They'd found it? They'd preserved it? Everything was here. From the armor to the walls and doors... even the training area was exactly how it was back on Earth.

Soft noises left his lips as tears came to his eyes. Sobs erupted, shaking his entire body. How long had it been since he'd last seen the mansion? It had been nearly a year before what happened when he had last seen it. He'd remembered the fair well dance he'd performed for the others before he left.

"The mansion," he spoke, his voice weak.

"Could use some work on it, but its here."

He went over to the broom and put it back in storage, as he looked to his teammate,

"Want to help?"

He looked up. Hearing those words he nodded.

"Yes... Of course I want to help."

He dug around in the storage closet taking out a bucket and some mops. He sat the bucket by Ryuunosuke holding out a mop.

"We can start here and work our way inside."

Ryuunosuke nodded as he stood. He was more than willing to help make the place look like it had during their year.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, tono," he agreed, taking the mop in hand.

Takeru took the bucket over to the sink and filled it with some soap he found and some water. He set the bucket down and started moping parts of the floor.

Ryuunosuke also began to mop some of the floor. As he cleaned the floor, memories came and left. They were of that year they had been together as a team.

He went over to one area and started mopping before kneeling down and touching the wood. There was a deep red stain there. This had been... He'd remembered trying to help get it out. He forgot which battle it had been after... Perhaps the last one...

Takeru looked over at Ryuunosuke, as he went over to him.

"See something?"

Ryuunosuke froze before straightening. He made a soft noise, clearing his throat.

"Just an old memory. Nothing more."

Takeru nodded as he continued to mop up the floor. He finished up the area as he started on another section.

"What memory?"

"Something from a battle," Ryuunosuke spoke as he continued. He finished his own section and went to a new section, leaving that spot alone for now.

Phillip liked to drive around when he wasn't doing anything other than reading, and pulling the HardBoiler to a halt in front of the building, he noted that someone had indeed gone inside.

Parking the machine and pulling his helmet off before setting in on the cycle, he pushed his way in, looking around for the person that would be walking in on the compound.

Takeru finished setting and cleaning up a few things. He set the broom off to the side as looked over and noticed his guests. He nodded some to them, slightly smiling at Ryuunosuke.

"Welcome."

"Ah, I didn't realize anyone was using this home," replied Phillip with a polite nod. "I shouldn't have barged in so suddenly."

"Phillip," he said with a little nod. "Pleased to meet you."

Takeru nodded at the guest as he walked over to him.

"What brings you here?"

"Looking around mostly. I check in on a few places that looks interesting," said Phillip, glancing around the home that would have been mostly situated in a nice natural setting or somewhere in a city.

"I hope I'm not intruding."

He nodded to the young man.

"I'm Takeru Shiba 19th head of the Shiba clan, and you are?"

Phillip raised an eyebrow again and smiled. "Phillip. Just Phillip is fine. Nice to meet you, Takeru."

"Nice to meet you, if you want you can come in for a bit and we can talk."

He motioned towards the door to his invited guest.

"I would like that."

Stepping inside, Phillip looked around the home and smiled a little. It seemed very full of life, at least its lingering sentiment. "This is your family home I take it?"

Takeru stepped inside.

"Yes, my family has lived here for along time now."

He motioned for Phillip to have a seat at a cleared table as he went into the kitchen and made some tree, bringing it out along with a cup for his guest and himself. He set the tea tray on the table and sat down at the table.

In strict tradition, Phillip drank and nodded politely. "Very good tea. And I can see that. This feels like a home, rather than a mansion."

Something about this place seemed to prickle at Phillip's memory, and he was trying to figure out where he had heard about it. "Shiba... I am certain I have heard that name before. It was a long time ago though."

" The Shiba family can be traced back many generations. We're famous with samurai's."

Takeru set Shishi origami on the table, as it unfolded into it's lion form as went over and started playing with what seemed to be a dust particle.

"If you know a Tsukasa Kadoya, he also has been to this house once."

Ah there was the name. Yes, yes that definitely set everything in place. Phillip smiled at the mention of the other Rider. "I know him. He sleeps now, but he's told me about a few people he's met once before. He and I were part of the same Motorcycle Enthusiasts Club."

Takeru just arched an eyebrow at the mention of the motorcycle club,

"I see, that's interesting."

He took a sip of his tea, as he looked over at the lion.

"shishi come here."

The little lion perked up at Takeru's voice and ran over to him folding back up into it's pentagon shape.

Phillip sipped his tea again, hiding a smile. The double meaning was evident, considering Takeru displayed all the signs of being one of the Super Sentai that were protecting his world. How interesting indeed.

"I hope you at least find your stay here a little more comfortable than it was for us when we first arrived. It has been slightly rough since a lot of us haven't had a shore leave since this last time."

" I'm still getting use to everything here, but things do seem to be going well."

He took a sip of his tea, leaving the shishi origami out on the table
