Relaxing for a bit [open]

Arisu walked into the Shinigami's Health Spa to. She wanted to relax for a bit and she always came here to do that. She loved the hot water of the spa's hotsprings. Since she was told to go out more often Arisu had discovered this place. She came here every end of the week. It was one of the things she was not scared of. She walked into the changing room and stripped down, warping a trowel around her body. Her long blonde curly hair hanging lose over her shoulders. A small smile was seen on her face. She did not look if anyone else was into the water. She was to excited to get in herself.

She slowly got into the nice hot water with a pleased look on her face. This was just what she needed. Arisu closed her eyes making her mind empty of everything that had to do with work. At this place she could calm and forget about everything. She opened her eyes again looking around. Wondering if she was the only one here today. She secretly hoped to meet someone new. She had a weird feeling of wanting to have a nice talk to someone.

Hayate too it would seem, had time off to go enjoy the various different places around Seireitei. Today, he had decided to go to the spa, relaxing was exactly what he needed to be doing right now. Though he hadn't been around here often so he was walking extra carefully just to make sure he didn't run into a wall that he didn't notice, that would probably not be good for him. Though, it was easy enough to find his way inside and soon he was wrapping a towel around his waist to find his way towards the spa itself, he decided to keep on his blindfold until he got into the water. He felt a presence, apparently the only other being there. He deftly moved into the spa opposite her, smiling slightly. ”Hello” he said, giving a wave in her direction, letting himself slide slightly deeper into the water, enjoying the warmth that it brought. He thought for a second, he seemed to recognise her reitasu, but not from exactly, it was slightly weaker than his own, but not by much. ”You aren't in the sixth division are you?” he questioned, wondering if he should remove his blindfold and spare it from getting wet. Though for now he decided it was best if he left it on.

Arisu looked a bit shocked as a man walked in, her arm covering herself up a bit. Had she gone into the wrong side of the spa. As the male got into the water she saw who it was. He was in the same division just a seat higher than her. She did not know him but she had seen him around. She smiled back even though he could not see that. "hey" she answered softly and got a little close, sitting next to him. She had forgotten about being in the wrong side of the spa because her mind was on other things now. Thinking about the division she was in. She actually did not knew anyone in it. She blinked for a moment before answering his question. "yes i am. your in the 6th division too right?" she said looking at his blindfold. Wondering why he was wearing that.

Another long day for Kenshirou had passed. He awoke to find that he finally had time to himself as he had planned this day to be his relaxation day. A day at the spa, where he would bathe and wash his sorrows away from working as the newly appointed Vice-Captain of division six. He could finally re-live his good old days were he relaxed amongst the rooftops of Sereitei, but this time at the spa. As he quickly changed he made his way to the spa. Along his walk was a beautiful sunlight, birds chirping in the sky with a nice breeze that was rather refreshing. The perfect temperature. People greeted Kenshirou along his journey and was tossed an apple at a nearby fruit stall by the generous owner. As he arrived at the entrance of the spa, he discarded the apple in a waste bin before entering.

He was greeted by the owner and was escorted to the room where he could put away his clothes, noticing sandals that were already here waiting for him. He undressed and wrapped a towel around his waist before entering the hot springs. As he walked out he noticed two shinigami who shared the water, a male and a female. The male was wearing a blindfold, maybe to not give in to temptation of the opposing female who was bare, or maybe it was a personal thing like Kenshirou and his eye-patch. "Excuse me, mind if I join you?" Kenshirou asked. He made his way to another part of the spa so it appeared to be a triangle of people facing each other. He removed his eye-patch so that he had a clear vision of the two shinigami, there was nothing wrong with his eye. He then removed his towel and entered the water, there he gave a sigh of relief as he began to relax with his arms outstretched hanging on the edges of the springs and laying his head back. He did not hear the conversation that was going on before his arrival so he thought he would break the ice for his presence.

"Ahhh, what a beautiful day eh?" He said rhetorically. "Sorry for my intruding, Kenshirou Uesugi, pleased to meet you." Kenshirou smiled looking to and fro between the two people before him.

Hayate felt two things, one was the female at the other side of the spa moving closer to him, and a shinigami he recognised as the vice-captain of their division approaching to join them apparently. Though for now he would say nothing about that. Instead, he smiled back to Arisu ”Yes, third seat, you must be fourth?” he said, offering his hand out for her. ”I'm Hayate Tsukino, what's your name?” he said, before seeming to look over his shoulder to Kenshirou appeared. For a blind man he had a good sense of direction. He waited for the lieutenant to offer greeting, Hayate replied. ”It's good to see you Kenshirou-Sama” he held back a little laughter at his own expense of course, he couldn't 'see' anyone. Deciding he didn't want to be walking home with a wet blindfold, he undid it and placed it over the side. The others would see that he seemed to have white eyes, glazed slightly while lacking pupils and such.

Arisu smiled "yep, fourth seat." she said. Then another male walked in who she had seen somewhere but she could not remember where. He asked if her cold join them. Arisu did not reply, she just stared at him shyly. Feeling a little uncomfortable now she was in there with two guys. She looked back at Hayate taking his hand and shake it lightly. She let go of his hand looked at the other male. When she heard his name she finally knew who he was. She blushed a little and felt herself get nervous. "its nice to meet you, i'm Arisu Yamaya" she softly spoke to the two. It was a good idea that she had come to the spa today. Now she could meet the people that where in the division she was in.

Hayate put his blindfold off laying it away so it would not get wet. Arisu blinked seeing he was blind en probably that was the reason he whore a blindfold. Kenshirou in the other hand did not seem to have anything wrong with his eyes that he normally whore an eye patch on.

Being the scared girl she was she just kept quiet, wondering if anyone else was gonna walk in. It was usually very quiet on moment of the day and that was why Arisu those to visit the spa now. But today was different, it seemed like it was 6th division day at the spa. The longer she sat there the more the was freaking out. What was she thinking! sharing the water with two males. She felt herself getting dizzy from being so nervous. Her head fell forwards into the water looking like she was drowning.

Kenshirou acknowledged and smiled as Hayate laughed at his own expense. Kenshirou loved people who could fun of themselves, it shows confidence and pride in themselves for who they are. Kenshirou watched as the blindfold was removed from around Hayate's eyes. He had milky, cloudy eyes with faint pupils but he had excellent senses nonetheless. He then turned to Arisu as she introduced herself with a soft tone of voice. Kenshirou knew most of the squad already as he has access to the database of the shinigami within squad six as he was Vice-Captain, but it was a pleasure meeting them both in person which sent another smile to his face.

Kenshirou closed his eyes and relaxed his muscles in the hot spring water breathing sighs of relief even more so. This was it. This was what Kenshirou's relaxation day would be like everyday if he could have the time. He opened his eyes once more and looked at the two and gave another small smile. He focused on Arisu as she began to appear as if there was something wrong with her, a sense of dizziness. Her head fell face first into the water. Kenshirou made his way over and lifted her head out of the water and placed her back in her position. "Arisu, are you alright?" Kenshirou said in a calm yet concerning voice. He then moved back to give her some room to breathe raising his eyebrows in the slight shock of what had just happened.

He then looked at Hayate to see if he had noticed what had happened. He removed the smile off his face. The girl must have a problem meeting strangers, or the fact that she was in the water with two males, it could have been intimidating.

((OOC: mwahahahahhaha I had to join xD how dare you leave your taicho out of this day at the spa xD lol anyway I’m here despite my numerous topics already x.x :p))

Lightning had hoped that the hot spa was going to be quiet, no matter how many of the hot springs she checked she couldn’t find one that was not swarming with people. Just the thought of being in such close proximity to so many half naked people made her feel uncomfortable, she had always been uncomfortable with such things. Even seeing a man without their shirt on was enough to make Lightning feel awkward and out of place, so you can imagine why the spa was not her first choice of places to relax. There were the odd times that she would find an empty hot spring and on those times she would choose to relax there, however with only one more hot spring left to check Lightning’s luck seemed to be up. Turning the corner and entering the hot spring Lightning saw the top 3 ranked officers other then herself all seated in the same hot spring, that wasn’t the weird part. Just as Lightning had turned the corner she saw Arisu her 4th seat face plant into the water, Lightning would have rushed to aid her if it was not for the fact Kenshirou had done so. Approaching the group Lightning ensured her towel was secure and would go nowhere, that was the last thing she would have wanted even if she was in a swimsuit underneath. Call her a person lacking self confidence but the truth was that she was simply a shy being, it was lucky for her though that these people were of her division. If they had not been Lightning would not have had the courage to approach them wrapped in a towel.

Seemingly remaining undetected by the three as she approached the water’s edge Lightning spoke, she had no doubt that her presence and voice might startle some of them. After all when you weren’t expecting a voice to come from somewhere it would have that effect. “Arisu, are you alright? Do you need medical attention?” After all it was her duty as captain of the 6th division to ensure that her officers were taken care of and safe, if Arisu did indeed need medical attention and she had not offered to get it for her then what kind of captain would she have been?

Hayate grinned and nodded, it seemed like today the whole division just wanted to show up, though he never would of expected his captain to arrive. Of course, he knew this before the others, he felt her pressure but simply decided not to remark upon it. Instead, he was wondering what exactly was going on with Arisu. ”You alright?” he asked, patting her gently on the head, noting that Kenshirou had already helped her up and prevent her from downing, he assumed it was because of nervousness, which he had never understood in the first place. He would slightly to the right as Lightning announced her arrival, or at least asked if her fourth seat was alright. He wasn't sure exactly who was on duty, but was a little concerned they all had the same day off. ”Care to join us Lightning-Sama?” he said with a friendly smile, moving his head and leaning backwards, sort of looking in his captain's general direction, of course he had his eyes closed, he just felt that it was more personal to face someone when he spoke to them.

Arisu her head was lifted out of the water trying to breath. Her face was covered with a deep red blush. Seeing Kenshirou had helped her from not drowning, then being patted by Hayate. She also noticed her captain had entered the spa. Arisu blinked and smiled a little while looking down in the water "yeah i'm alright..." she said really soft. She was happy that her captain had appeared. Now she was not the only woman anymore. That was a relieve for her. But still feeling a little ashamed of what happened. Hoping no one would know why she almost fainted. She looked at lightning hoping she would join them in the water. "please join!" she said quietly in a happy tone, acting like nothing had happened a minute ago. Arisu let out a small sigh trying to relax her body in the warm water of the spa. The blush never leaving her cheeks. She looked at each for a moment. Feeling happy she could meet them all in person.

As Kenshirou lifted Arisu's head and checked if she was alright an unexpected inidividual arrived. It was the Captain of Squad six, Lightning. The top four shinigami of squad six were at the same spa in their spare time. Quite a coincidence. Kenshirou watched as Lightning had made her way towards the spring water and greeted her with a slight smile. "Good day, Taicho!" He said instantly stopping to check back on Arisu who had been trying to catch her breath. As she did she also began to blush, maybe it was the just the warm water, or maybe it was just the embarrassment of what had just happened. Everyone asked for her well-being and comforted her for the event that had just occurred. Lightning had offered medical attention and Hayate patted her on the head while Kenshirou himself lifted her from the state she was in. Soon enough the attention was on the Captain, as it should be for any squad regardless of health in their presence.

Everyone had greeted the Captain now, including Arisu after she had acknowledged everyone and clarified that she was alright. It was if nothing had happened after she greeted Lightning, she was perfectly fine apart from the blushing that remained. Maybe it was because she wasn't the only female in the spa which gave her a sense of relief. Kenshirou watched as Hayate made room for Lightning in the water. He also moved a short distance away, enough to be near Arisu enough in case she felt unwell again, yet a decent distance for her own personal space. He then turned to Lightning and back at Arisu repeatedly while he asked Lightning a question. "What brings you here, Taicho?"

Lightning was glad that Arisu was alright although she was slightly concerned that she had seemingly fainted in the water, perhaps she had been in the spa for too long? Having been greeted by all those in the spa she found that it seemed that Arisu was by far the most eager for her to join them in the spa’s waters. Perhaps she was not enjoying the fact she was in the water with two men alone? That was something that she could understand, returning the greeting to everyone there Lightning thought on what she should do next. “It is good to see you all” She wasn’t sure whether she should join them in the spa, she was not a very social person and would no doubt only make the situation awkward for her division members….but then again she was really looking to a soak in the hot water. At least these people she would share it with would be from her own division, it was by far the best idea….sharing with strangers was not something she would think about.

Turning her gaze to Kenshirou as she stepped into the water she spoke, “I imagine I am here for much the same reason as you all” Sinking into the water Lightning was submerged up to her neck, her muscles all beginning to relax for what felt like the first time in ages. Worried that she would crush their conversation with her presence in the spa Lightning decided to try and restart what ever it was they had been discussing before her arrival. “So, what is it that you were discussing?”

Hayate smiled and nodded, deciding it was best to simply keep his eyes closed now, no need to creep the others out with their blankness and such... of course that was mostly for Arisu, she might be at least a little creeped out. No matter, he wondered how their whole division had it's top four just relaxing where there might be things to do, but he trusted his captains judgement in these things, she wouldn't leave the place in disarray just to go to a spa of course. ”Well, we were introducing ourselves. I guess.. We didn't really get far you see. Maybe you might have something to bring Lightning-Sama?” he suggested with a grin, while pondering what someone may think seeing them all here like this, he wasn't even sure if this was meant to be a unisex spa... not that it mattered to him, he couldn't exactly 'enjoy the view' as it were, Kenshirou on the other hand could, such is life..

Deciding to simply wait for the others to begin speaking, Hayate let himself sink a little further in the water, leaning back with his elbows resting on the side, allowing the warmth further up his body, it was definitely a good idea to come out today.

Kenshirou smiled as Lightning sunk int he water. it must be tough being a Captain, little time for rest, she deserved some time off. As Lightning asked her question Kenshirou then began to think the same thing. He was not present in the conversation either and didn't realize until Lightning had asked. He also didn't realize that they were just introducing themselves before he came in which he was apart of the conversation. He looked at Hayate as he mentioned that they only introducing themselves, so Kenshirou didn't miss anything really. He watched as Hayate sank slowly as he rested amongst the side of the spa as he did. He then looked back at Arisu to make sure she was okay, and then back to Lightning to see if she would answer Hayate's answer.

Kenshirou then had an idea for their situation. He looked around for a brief moment before finding a towel. He left the water calmly and wrapped the towel around him. He turned to look at the rest of the shiigami in the water. "I'll be right back." Kenshirou then began to walk back into the building. "Look after Arisu until I get back..." He said as he entered the building. A few moments had passed before he had returned with a tray of refreshments. He made his way back to the water and looked at everyone once again. "There we go!" He said with a wide smile. He left the tray on the side and stepped into the water and then handed the drinks around to everyone.

"Now, what were we talking about, Taicho?" Kenshirou asked as he sipped on his drink with a small smile. It was quite refreshing. He looked around at Arisu to check on her, she seemed fine. Also he looked to see if everyone enjoyed their drink.
