Welcome to Gaia! ::

Without a warning Mahiru, who was dumbstruck by the hollow mask, balled her fist and then kicked Ichigo, who she believed to be Hichigo, in the face sending him backwards.

"Oh, my bad." She smiled sarcastically. "None the less. I guess this is good bye. Tell Yoruichi-sensei bye. Tell Urahara I'll miss him. Kaien as well, even though he still makes me think you two are related. And Ichigo... Stay out of trouble." She said walking out the door and humming a song.

Mahiru stopped where she was walking, facing away from him. She stared ahead blankly. She stood there as she talked and then sighed deeply. She then inhaled deeply," You pick a time like now to say things like that?" She then turned around and walked back in the door and set her things down beside her and sat on one of the stools in the kitchen.

"You know, I wasn't leaving because I wanted to. I was leaving because, you know. I kinda actually care about you, and I don't want you to get hurt. You know how strong Aizen is. If no one out there can beat him. And even Yoruichi worries about his strength, then what makes you think we can stand up to him. The most I could do, is pretendingly get captured and then learn about everything he is doing. And that would work out greatly, since he is the almighty user of power." She said, using air quotes the entire time.

She swing her ankles around eachother and slighting began to swing them. She picked up the bottle of water that had been sitting there from earlier," Geez... And you think you could have won that without me. Please, you know that you would be lost without me and my sarcasm." She said, for the first time since they had mat, giving him a sincere smile.

Mahiru blinked in confusion and then smiled. As if to say something wonderful, such as 'I'm in,' or 'lets do it!' She simply said," Why do I feel like I'm doing something illegal..." She then had her smug smile on her face. "Of course I'm in. But you have to remember. Unlike Urahara, or Yoruichi, I'm a big girl, I might be human, but I can take care of myself. They never give me the chance, just because I'm shinigami. I'm pretty sure Zangetsu is kinda fond of me, seeing I hate his hollow half, even though he is kinda sketchy..." She said turning away real quick, then looking back at him.

"Well right now for sure we have. You Me... Yoruichi, Urahara, the Kids... Orihime..." Saying Orihime's name as if she was reluctant to say anything about her. "And Chad!" She said smiling at his name," He's so nice, he helps me out so much." She said, completely leaving anything that Ichigo has done out. As if she was avoiding the 'moment' that they bouth shared. Typical Mahiru.

Mahiru stared at him as he got up. As he got to the door, she picked up her box of tampons and threw it at his head, hitting him," Stupid, you were the most important person in that deep speech..." She said. "Come back and sit down." She commanded. "Idiot... You don't have to get mad over something. And just because I'm human doesn't mean I can't stick up for myself..." She said crossing her legs and turning her head. Knowing that he HAD to come back and sit down with her.

Mahiru heard the crash through the walls, but as if nothing wrong was happening she just took a sip of her water and then set it down. Right then Ichigo sat next to her, she through he was going to stay something stupid, or mean, or idiotic, instead... She got a hug. After a slight jump of shock, and confused reaction she hugged him back, of course not without blushing before, "Ichigo, why do we always end up like this, either you and I fighting or you and I fighting and then making up." She said as if it was a normal thing, in which, while training, Yoruichi made fun of them for getting into their intense fights as if they were going to kill eachother, and then some how, hugging and making up.

Mahiru smiled at Ichigo, "Yea we have a big problem..." Then as she was about to reply to what he was going to say she heard the voice as well. She saw the soccer ball roll into her kitchen and then she turned around the couch to see who it was," Holy crap... How's you know where I lived?" She said looking over at the two.

Mahiru had a slight blush cover her cheaks before her as well crossed her arms and turned her head away," What gave you that crazy idea?!" She said closing her eyes. She looked down over to them," I'm Mahiru, I just got back from training with Yoruichi-sempai and Ichigo here..." She said. Looking at her wrecked house," It looked a lot better an hour ago..." Just as she noticed her falling house a sweat drop formed, "Geez."
