The Scarred Senorita of Karakura {Open}

Mai Natsumi smiled as she looked down from a high cliff. Karakura was lovely this time of night. The orange streetlights set the streets of Karakura ablaze. Directly below a light the glow would be brightest, the farther away you got, it would fade. It slightly mystefied Mai. Even though she had been in the Human world for countless years. Centuries even, Mai had long lost count. She'd pretty much had watched the civilization of humans rise and fall, seen them advance at amazing paces. It surprised her. Humans were certainly a smart species, she had no idea why everyone took them for granted. And look at the Soul Society. Still in it's same situation, as it hasn't advanced to modern ways. Still traditional, still classic, etc. It annoyed Mai that they didnt even have the things humans had. Television, iPods, hamburgers. She sighed before jumping off of the cliff and hopping from tree to tree. After she got near to central Karakura, she jumped higher and landed in Karakura town center. There were people, buying things, talking. They didn't notice Mai. Didn't even see her. She looked down and sighed. "So this is what it feel like to be invisible." Mai mumbled quietly.

Mai screamed as she heard a voice sound from behind her. Mai quickly whipped around, her hair fluttering in the wind as she turned to face the strange man. Thick, clear tears flowed in two streaks down her cheeks. Mai looked as if she had just been to Hell in back. Her tears stopped quickly when the man introduced himself and were replaced with a bright smile and a wave to the man. "I'm Mai Natsumi." Mai said shyly before walking over to him. Mai's appearence matched her personality. That of a young girl, with an intensely curious look in her flaming red eys and wind blowing through her silvery blue hair. She sat down next to him calmly, wondering how the man had summoned the bench out of nowhere. She looked at him calmly, tilting her head to the side, a weird habit she never learned to fix. She yawned, still gazing into his eyes. "Then what does it feel like......to be invisble?" Mai murmured in a detached, and unusually mature voice. It sounded as if another person was speaking for her. Mai wasn't aware of how her voice sounded, just on what she had said.

Mai's silvery blue hair hit her cheeks softly as the wind rustled the environment around her. She looked at the man, noticing an odd fact about the both of them. Inverted color. He had bright red hair and silvery eyes, while Mai had blueish silver hair and flaming red eyes. Quite an odd thing. Maybe it hinted at their personalities. Mai was weary this, while Tethisrenta was completely anxious around him. "Mai.....there's something odd about this boy.....it isn't good...Be careful...what you say to him. Please Mai? Just be careful for me." Tethisrenta whispered inside her mind in a pleading tone. Mai nodded, bot mentally and physically. Her breath rushed out of her when the sudden black out struck. Tethisrenta gasped. She jumped as the man put her hand on his shoulder, and despite him asking not to be frightened, Mai could not avoid it. Her body shuddered with anxiety and worry. Her lower lip quivered in slight fear. Mai had always been scared of any total darkness, thouhg the feeling she got from being invisble....slightly comforted her. It was unavoidable. Though, unlike before, Mai felt different. The darkness was accompanied with the feeling of....absolutely nothing.

Mai felt nothing...no reiatsu...nothing at all. She licked it. Her expression relaxed into a calm and tranquil look of peace. She began to speak, her voice warm and friendly, like a guiding light. "It's different if your left alone in the dark. I never said.....that I....disliked being a creature invisible to others. You have shown me another feeling....a feeling of darkness. You were the invisble one, while I was the one submerged in darkness. Darkness and invisibilty are two different things. One makes itself known through fear and robbing of the senses, and the other doesn't make itself known at all. Of course, neither is a wonderful feeling. But i'd take invisibilty any day..." Mai mumbled to him, still in the dark. She blinked as the light returned, and gazed at him quietly. She wasn't exactly thrilled with their little experience, but she supposed all he had done was oblige to her request. Mai looked at him solemnly and nodded. "Sure....." Mai said to him, her voice a whisper. Tethisrenta growled. "Mai.......You know he caused that black out.....why do you follow?" Tethisrenta shouted to her. Mai sighed and shrugged as a response.

Mai watched the trees flutter back and forth, memorized by how the wind moved something so easily. She loved any sort of windy weather. You could feel it your skin and rustle your clothes, tamper with your hair. You could still see it's effects in the physical items. It's damage was a tangible thing, proven by hurricanes and tornados. She turned back to face Urufu offering her hadn to her and smiled brightly with a nod while taking his hand. Despite the earlier events, he didn't seem harmful. The same phrase ran through Mai's mind. Tathisrenta graoned with frustration. "Mai, you must've been quite a handful when you where younger. You seem quite disobiedent. And even though i'm not your superior, you should still listen to me." Tethisrenta said in a tone of annoyance. Mai cut her off with a giggle.

Oh Tethis, you need to relax. The man doesn't seem to be unstable to the point of dangering me. He actually seems quite nice. Tethy." Mai replied to the weary zanpakuto, ending her sentance with a cute giggle that sounded aloud. Mai smiled at him, yet her eyes held a confused glaze. "Condition? Your not gonna die, right? I know humans have lots of conditions. Sorry about saying the conditions thing, just, well, you are human. Ugh.....i'm beginning to sound idiotic again...." Mai said with a self-disappointed sigh.. She stood up as she rubbed one of her eyes. Mai knew she had a terriblr knowledge of human illnesses and diseases. She shook her head and looked at him. "No not really. I rarely leave the Warehouse, so I don't get out often. But I suppose we could just go there." Mai said while pointing at a small fast food restuarant. She quickly whipped her head to the right to look at Urufu. "Mai......." Tethisrenta mumbled in her mind. Mai hushed him and blinked with confusion at Urufu. "How can you turn into a Vizard......but thank you for assuring me that i'll be safe.....I can't ever be too sure around anyone....especially the other night. Some dude grabbed me by my neck...." Mai said with a slight tone of detachment. She looked back at him and smiled again. "Sure, if ya wanna be a Vizard, you can. And don't worry about me, i'm perfectly comfy now that that blank darkness is gone." Mai said with a tiny smile.
