Wandering the Streets

Peaceful or pleasant days as people would like to call them - never happened much in Karakura anymore. In fact, days like these are said to be very rare; almost impossible with the increasing danger and enemies looming at every corner of the city. After 400 years of life, Karakura took a substantial turn for the worst. Not in terms of appearance or people but the fact that life was almost unbearable here if you were a normal human. Others who possessed superhuman capabilities could fight for their peace, but those inchoate in the ways of combat would die without even being given the chance to achieve their dreams. Who was it that decided to fund the world with more technology instead of finding more warriors to protect this place? no one knew and no one asked. This life had become frightfully "normal". So the vibrant hustle and bustle of the city so far seemed like a fleeting illusion. No one could say they were safe because that is how dangerous this city had become to live in. If you weren't a high level warrior who made their name in many battles, then you had no chance of living life to the fullest. Still, people tried to re-correct these problems but, was it not already too late? Could Karakura really ever return to the constant peace they had before the war and bloodshed? No one could come up with the answer and most had given up on finding one to begin with. Peace had become an impossible dream for the citizens of Karakura.

One girl, who was out on a stroll through Karakura town could not believe her eyes. There was another peaceful day within karakura? It seemed like blasphemy in a way. This town was always under distress. Collateral damage, Ravaged cities, and the death of people with unfulfilled dreams and aspirations. This is what made up the town of new Karakura. Sure, the technology was amazing; the advancements made in 400 years were awe-inspiring. But how could one enjoy that with the fear of being eaten? There was never a dull moment within this city but then - there was never a lot of peace and prosperity either. But even with the depressing state there are a select few that believe in solving these unsettling problems. The girl - Aya Kawasumi, was one such girl who believed in the well-being of the people around her and found no shame in it whatsoever. Some of these people were in fact, like family to her. She enjoyed their company as much as she did with the villagers of her own clan. Sure there were foolish men. There lots of idiots that probably deserved to die within this city, but as with most things - there had to be some good. Aya was never one to be downtrodden or angry with her circumstances. Rather, as events continued to unfold before her she took them in strides and pushed through with her adamant perseverance. Slipping through the rambunctious crowd was not the easiest task for the exuberant brown haired maiden. There were just so many wild people today! Aya nearly lost her sense of direction each and every time. But none of it was enough to deter her or anger her in the slightest. She became slightly peeved by a few annoying males taking a gander at her "assets". Why did some men have to be such perverts? She pondered that question while making her way through town. Her goal for today was quite clear. Today, would be the day she would make an attempt at acquiring a job from a popular restaurant. As she evaded and turned on the balls of her feet, her figure started to come into full view as she continued to walk with her lively gait.

Her clothing was relatively simple work clothes prepared for her by her sister. She wore white dress shirt with a few buttons being unfastened to give her breathing space and to reveal a slight slit in the shirt where he cleavage could be seen. To accentuate her upper clothing, she wore a black skirt that was around a medium size. This was to cover up anything that might give someone the wrong idea, but even though it was fortunate, it felt slightly uncomfortable to dress like this. Her hair was worn long today. Something most hadn't had the chance of witnessing in quite a long time. Aya had become so use to her training sessions that she had always tied her long brown hair up within a bow. To finish off the work woman look, two black wristbands of equal sizes adorned her wrists. On her left arm was a purse she had recently brought from one of the more popular shopping districts in a deeper part of Karakura city. Just as she was poised on making it to her location, something caught her eye and she became curious like a little child. "...Unh....?" She saw a woman within the crowd, a beautiful woman at that. Now, anyone could say girl was beautiful but there was something about her that caught Aya's eyes. When she took some time to get a closer look with her superhuman eye sight she saw small tear drops at the edges of Tohsaka's eye ducts, and decided to investigate the reason as to why such an attractive girl would look so down in the dumps like she seemed right now.

After sliding through the left side of the large crowd, Aya started to follow the woman known as Tohsaka Rin to the bench. She could barely make out the words but when she heard them; "This city is deplorable ". She decided to sit down with the girl and see if she could brighten her day up. She was always the kind type of woman with a heart as big as her body to do things like this. She knew that applying for her job seemed more important, but that played only second fiddle to what she felt for helping others. "...Your...right..." She said with a smile as she kicked her feet up while looking at her with a bright smile. "But - this place is not all that bad. I know you've probably heard it before but there's always the light at the end of the tunnel. New Karakura town will never be as wonderful as it was in the past, but there's still some beauty left in this city, it's just up to us to find it. “Aya giggled and then scratched her head. "Oh...apologies...i forgot to introduce myself, i'm Aya Kawasumi...and you are?" Aya was curious to know more about this ethereal human being known as Tohsaka Rin. Would the defiant tsundere grant her that wish?
