"Phew, that should be far enough... Damn that was close"
Nairin wiped her forehead, looking up and around her to view her surroundings. Trees, trees, more trees... even more trees.
'Now where the fuck am I?' Wondering through the barks, Nairin listened out for any signs of life. Faint voices were heard off in the North-west direction, perhaps she wasn't as far from civilisation than she thou-
"UUAH!" A strong force from behind unexpectedly hit her back, pushing her straight into the bark of the tree in front of her.
The force held her body firm against the tree. Just as she was about to turn around to see what it was, a hand grabbed her hair and smashed her head into the bark she was held up against.
"The FUCK! GET OFF ME!" She yelled, albeit sounding like a mumble as her mouth was squashed against the wood. This force was surprisingly strong, making it difficult for her to move although she still tried.
"Listen to me. This never happened. You never heard nor saw me. I'll let you go and you'll wait for 10 seconds before moving. Ya got that?"A voice spoke to her, sounding male.
"Get The Fu-MMM!" The male further forced her face into the bark.
"This. Never. Happened. Just Do As I Say." The male spoke his words clearly, definitely frustrated. Nairin glared as she tried to look behind her but didn't say anything, not that she could of anyway. After a few silent seconds, the force was relieved from her body before the rushing sound of footsteps slamming on top of dirt and twigs disappeared behind her. Rubbing her mouth, Nairin scowled and finally turned around, however the guy had already vanished.
'That fuck was that all about?! For fucks sake...' Growling a little, Nairin just continued walking towards the faint voices she had heard earlier, she didn't care enough to bother to follow whoever that guy was.
Spitting bark out onto the floor, it didn't take her long to emerge from the forest to find herself on the outskirts of a district. She couldn't recognise anything from this place, however the buildings seemed to look similar to the district she had grown up in.
'What district is this?' She once again took to wondering around, watching normal souls go about their normal lives. Kids played in the streets as adults chatted and laughed, it seemed to be quite a lively district. A clearly exhausted woman walked towards her direction carrying an evidently heavy basket. She looked like she was having a pretty hard time holding it up, meanwhile the other souls just walked passed without paying any attention to her at all.
Furrowing her eyebrows at this, Nairin took a breath before walking up to the woman.
"Do you need some help?" This was a stupid question to ask, it was clear she did, but still she asked anyway.
"Oh nono, I'm Okay Shinigami, I-I'm fin-Ouf!.. O-Oh my..." The woman fell forward as she spoke, Nairin must of distracted her, and thus dropped her basket. However before the poor woman could hit the floor, Nairin grabbed her left arm and held a hand out in front of the woman's torso to stop her from falling. She then helped the woman back onto her feet.
"I got you, let me help you" After making sure the woman was balanced, Nairin walked over to the fallen basket, lifting it up and onto her right shoulder. It felt like hardly anything to her.
"Lead the way" She looked back at the woman from over her left shoulder, giving her a small smile. The woman patted herself down before returning the smile.
"Th-thank you, this way please"Walking in front of Nairin, the woman lead her to her house and let her in. As Nairin stepped in, three children came rushing to the doorway. The woman stepped in and welcomed them all with a huge hug.
"Mommy's home hehe, I hope you all have been good and stayed inside" Nairin set the basket down on a counter within the kitchen area of the room before turning around to look at the scene. The group of them hugged each-other tightly, clearly overjoyed to see each-other. The atmosphere surrounding them felt warm. Nairin stepped a little closer but stayed away as she didn't want to imposed.
Waiting until they had finished their embrace, the woman stood up, a bright smiling face directed to Nairin.
"Thank you so much for your help Shini-" "Nairin... Call me Nairin" Without realising it, Nairin smiled back at the woman, which nodded.
"Yes, thank you Nairin. Is there anything I could do to repay you?" Nairin chuckled a little at this. The woman didn't seem to have much as it was, plus clearly she had three children to look after on top of that. The father didn't seem to be around either, yet despite this she seemed willing to give back.
"You could tell me what district I'm in? I got... kinda lost heh" Rubbing the back of her head sheepishly, Nairin let out a small chuckle. It was odd of her to not act cold towards someone she hadn't met before, perhaps her heart had been warmed from the scene or maybe she had changed, not so much power-wise but in other ways.
"Oh I see, this is district 59" "Thank you" Nairin gave the woman a little bow before walking out of the house.
Shunpo-ing on top of a building, Nairin looked around, finally been given a sense of direction.
'I'm not as far as I thought' Continuing to Shunpo, and noticing how much faster she had gotten, Nairin made her way back to the gates of the Seireitei. With a mind plagued by questions and thoughts, she followed the pathways back to Squad Eleven.
'Today's been so fucking weird.... What the Hell is Shinzo? I can't get my head around it! And that fucking man, Who the fuck?-Why the fuck?-What the fuck?! Ulgh.... Atleast... that woman... was nice... hmm...' "About time you came back!! Where have you been?! I was just about to go looking for you Naynay!!" The door too Nairin's room had swung open just as the woman was about to open it. An angry Nishiki stood in the doorway, hands on her hips while glaring at Nairin.
"I went on a little adventure and got lost. Saw shit, did shit. I'm a grown woman Niki and I'm back now so chill out hehe" Nairin couldn't help but laugh at Nishiki's anger.
"But Naynay... I was worried something bad happened..." Nishiki looked down with a pout, dropping her arms evidently upset. Nairin just slipped her arms around Nishiki's body and hugged the girl. This was rare, Nairin wouldn't usually do initiate a hug so it was expected that Nishiki would get a little shocked at the embrace, but nevertheless hugged back.
"Thanks for worrying about me Niki, but I'm Okay, trust me. I've just got alot on my mind" Nishiki smiled, but then something caught her eye.
"And blood in your hair" Nishiki raised an eyebrow as Nairin released her.
"What?" "Blood. You have some blood on the back of your head. Did you cut yourself or something?" Reaching a hand to the back of her hair, Nairin gabbed a few strands and pulled them softly before bringing her hand back to her face to look at her palm. Nishiki was right, there was quite abit, hopefully the people from before didn't see it although her silver hair would of made it rather noticeable.
"Weird... Ohh shit..." "Listen to me. This never happened. You never heard nor saw me." Nishiki leaned forward a little to smell the blood on Nairin's palm.
"That's fresh, doesn't smell like it's from a Hollow though... What the hell have you been up to Nairin?" "The hell Niki?! Why'd you smell i-Wait, what? I didn't do anything! Let me just go wash this shit off" Nairin finally stepped into her room and headed for the bathroom, some sense finally coming to the words the guy from before had said. Looks like there was a murderer on the loose or something... But then why didn't he kill her?
'Ulgh, fuck everything about today!!' "Later Niki we're going out for a drink." Nairin stated before shutting the bathroom door.
"Um, Okay then Naynay!" Nishiki replied, finally closing the door to the room.
