The World of the Living (open)

Arisu felt more confused than the first time. "Excuse me for a moment," Arisu said as she headed to a man. "Hello, do you see that girl? No not the blonde one, the one with pink-purple hair,".

Usually people would just ignore her but she was from a wealthy family so the man looked confused and stammered, "O-oh no I don't l know what you're talking about, Kanai.". Then he rushed off with Arisu looking quite dejected.

She smiled and walked up to Arisu and said "Now do you believe us?"

"Yes..." Arisu muttered in defeat. Then looking up she asked, "I don't think there would be any hollows today... but I wouldn't know...oh I'm distracting you guys huh?"

Yuni smiled in triumph. "Don't worry about that we'll know if there's one or not. "

"So what is......sorry what's your name again? I don't think you told me. Anyway Yuni. are you 'invisible' too? Is she a ghost? Are you a ghost?" Arisu asked. By 'she', she meant Rika, which she didn't know the name of yet.

"Oh that's Rika."she said while pointing at her."At the time no I'm not invisible and We're not ghosts."answering all of Arisu's questions.

"Oh okay then," Arisu said, "Then what are you guys exactly? Unless of course that's personal too,". Arisu wasn't that nosy.

"That's Rika Fukui. And we're Shinigamis."she said. It was a good thing that she wasn't in her gigiai or else everyone else would have heard her.

"Shinigamis? They're like the Grim Reaper right?" Arisu read enough manga to know that. Hey, they were in Japan; what did you expect?

She just said it.she was surprised at how Rika just said it. "They're basically the same thing except for the way you say."Then her pocket started to vibrate, she took her phone "Hollow." she said and took off motioning Rika to follow.

Arisu frowned slightly. "Hollows? They're here right now? I don't see one......," Kotori said as she looked around. She expected hollows to be a human-sized Godzilla or something.

"Over there."pointing in the direction of the holllow and getting out of her gigai. "Rika,do you think you can restrain it for me?"she asked.

"Ok! Bakudō #4 Hainawa."The crackling yellow rope began to wrap around the Hollow immobilizing it.

Arisu stared in shock. "W-what!?" Arisu said in disbelief. She couldn't say anything else but not wanting to get hit, she hid behind the tree and watched.

Yuni grinned "Alright then!" she jumped up to where the Hollow's face was and slashed it in half. "You'll never stand a chance as long as there's a captain here." she said quietly to herself as the hollow disappeared. "Good job,Rika."she said.Then got back into her gigai.

Arisu raised her eyebrows after seeing the whole killing process. "Wait a second, let me be clear. Why am I the only one who can see this? Do I have a special skill too?" Arisu asked as she rushed over to them.

"It's true you have a high spiritual energy, but I wouldn't call it a skill mainly because there are other people in thw world that would be able to see us."she explained. "But some other might have high spiritual energy and still not be able to see us."

Kotori nodded to confirm her understanding. "So I'm guessing you're really aren't around here then. Where are you from exactly?" Kotori asked curiously.

"We're from the Soul Society also known as heaven I guess."she said hoping that no one would get mad at her for telling a human about Soul Society.

"Oh heaven huh? It must be nice," Kotori said.

Yuni almost laughed at Arisu's remark, but instead let out a little chuckle. "And at other times it'll fell like hell."she said."It won't always be as nice as you think."

Arisu smiled back. "Really? How so?". Arisu was beginning to enjoy her day better than she thought. It wasn't an everyday thing to find out you can see shinigamis that lived in the heavens.

"A lot of work, too much fighting breaks lose in Seireitei, and others."she said sighing. Then she started to laugh But I guess that's what makes it interesting."

"Oh okay then," Arisu said when Yuni finished. She didnt know what Seiretei meant but she figured that it was a Shinigami thing.

"Seiretei is also known as the Court of Pure Souls. And where all the shinigamis are." she explained just in case Arisu wanted to know.
