(Open Permit/Social) Megumi Square Mall: Yuu's Day Off and Out with a Friend

======================================
PREVIEW

Typically, Yuu is not much of an outgoing person as she would go to places to places on the dot. There are times that she would wander off course, but they often led her to confronting internal problems to solve like crime and villainy. Her most recent was a close call against a band of Shinigami who went rogue, but unknown to Yuu, they are not what they are seem. While investigating and keeping in contact with specific sources, Shadin suggested that she has to take a break because she faced an ordeal and need time to recover before the situation becomes her obsession. Being one of the two to help Yuu, Hayato is aware that Yuu had an ordeal back at the school and a lot of questions needed to be answered, so he takes initiative in his own way.

Within the Housing District of Karakura City, Yuu is in her villa as she usually would be when not called upon. She has plenty of food and time to work off her edge acquired from the close call. Though the time that Shadin told her to take the day off was just another day that she gets to stay in her comfy home that she earned. Unlike those who would obsess over such matters, Yuu has been dealing death and dealing with it so many times that it is not new to her about the idea that she would die at anytime; it is only failures of a catastrophic degree that would bother her. If she had failed to disorient a piece of Nero's cohort, then Shadin and the others will have to deal with more and potentially failed to rescue Shadin's family...her family as well; Shadin would know that even when not related, the Yuudeshi is the only family she has left so of course she would jump at the chance to help the Yuudeshi Clan in any way possible. If she had succeeded in saving Kin from Hime and Ender, then all this would have not happened and Iori would have lived; but she had to fail at a crucial moment because she thought it would be faster to reach him alone and catch him unprepared. Beyond that, Yuu cannot change the past, even if she truly does not know her own.

It was after breakfast as Yuu is resting on her recliner while in her violet set of bra and panties. The show she watches was a stream by a gamer playing the latest Souls game as he is doing a speed run. With her is Cobie, her trusted companion, who lays on top of her lap, cherishing the caressing by Yuu while Cobie is watching the stream as well. The volume is kept on an easy level while the temperature is rather warm compared to what is outside. The reason for it is because she does not have good enough control over her body's natural healing so if it is cold enough or hot enough, she would become exhausted and die a lot faster. The streamer is about to reach the third boss needed for the any percent run until Yuu hears her phone ringing. She was quick to grab it because it is right next to her as Cobie looks around in confusion, only to be comforted by Yuu's free hand. It better not be a telemarketer because she swears she told them to remove her number from their list a week ago. If they have not, then they will be told again and again until she would have to file them for harassment.

When Yuu answers, it is a blunt, stoic and feminine tone of a woman who rather get to the point rather than waste time playing games.

"Hello. This is Raion's Residence. Yuu speaking."

"Ohaio, Hayato. What's going on? Oh--I do have the day off. Shopping? Eh? ...Silly human."

Yuu stares at her phone when commenting about how Hayato hung up before she could tell him that she does not need to go shopping, she needs to get back on the job. So she has a few minutes to get dress and look represented for the occasion. Anyone could find her villa, but getting into it is like trying to walk into Fort Knox; you're not going to survive long in it unless authorized. Like other citizens, Hayato would know that Yuu is a very private person and holds a passive-aggressive demeanor that could be the source of her social problems; she possibly grew up fighting and doing things herself. But that is to be discovered later, Yuu shoos Cobie off of her as she gets up off the recliner to get dress.

When Hayato arrives to the appropriate address, he would noticed that the villa was more of a grand hall with subtle transitions between rococo body and baroque trims. If Yuu could forge a group, her "villa" would have been its guild hall. It would feel that she upgraded it during the past years. Around it is a 40ft high wall of engraved white cement that is more of a tapestry of battles of yore than just an outer wall; one of the images depicted Shadin and allies fighting against Ender, a god that tried to destroy the existence that Hayato lives in now. Unknown to the untrained eyes, Yuu built extra security over the walls, so while it looks like the villa has a glorious glow, it has its own dome designed by Yuu herself. The dome is designed to prevent people from teleporting in and out of her villa. The dome also prevents people from using their powers within it unless they are registered as "Honorary Guests". The Honorary Guests would receive the lion's crest that acts as a amulet of protection while Yuu wears the dragon's crest, allowing her to teleport and use her powers around her villa. In all cases, unless one has the dragon's crest, there is no other way in other than through the gates before Hayato. The 20ft high hardwood, double-doored gate stands before him with a large, insignia of a golden eastern lion called a shiisaa standing on its hind legs while back to back with a silver western dragon. If anyone tries to enter above the walls, then they would be repelled by it and be sent flying yards away, even for a 0-tier while powers thrown at it would be reflected back at the attackers. Just next to the 10ft wide gate is a reasonably small golden plaque on an iron plate saying in silver engraving,

The gates rumble to life as it opens outward towards Hayato, but only by a slight bit as Yuu emerges from the gates on a sleek pickup truck before it closes once more behind her. Yuu lowers the driver side window and peeks out, revealing that she is in winter wear with a furry hat like a fancier version of the hats that Russians wear for practical reasons.

"Get in because while your skateboard is good, it is warmer in here."

Should Hayato enter the shotgun side of the truck, he would feel like the winter day turned summer the moment he opens that door. He can easily tell that Yuu took special times possibly from her day offs to personalize this truck as the decals are a mixture between industrial and luxury. The seats is also warm and soft like it has its own heating system. Something like this would cost more than twenty million yen on the market. With the villa and the truck, it would be easy to feel outclassed, but he would also remember that Yuu may have been around world and been in several businesses before Hayato was even born. As for what Yuu is wearing; she is wearing her fancy winter dress with the fur cap. Cobie peeks out from the backseats and looks at Hayato with a passive-jovial smile from its muzzle.

"Where would you like to go? This thing can go on auto pilot so I don't have to drive it all the time."

"Megumi Square Mall? You do realize that I could easily do that at home. They don't call me the Theatre Master for knowing how to manage a theater at Downtown Karakura. But alright."

While Cobie just snags the bone-shaped donut from Hayato's hand, Yuu sounds rather blunt, but given what she has, she may as well be someone who has it all. However, the stereotype can always point that one may have everything, but there is always one that they are missing or could not get. Yuu sets the throttle and its heavy rigging sounds like she is controlling an army tank, but with softeners for a luxury feel. Should Hayato look out the window, he can see that they are literally flying as the large wheels tuck underneath the truck.

"For how I am doing, I can't say I am happy about not being on the job. What you got there for the donuts?"

While flying over the district, the truck will be on its way to the elevator to take them to the city in the sky, Sukai Karakura.

After hearing what the price he paid for the donuts (which is free), Yuu was wondering about what he has as an assortment--not what he paid for them--but at least there's a chocolate one. She does see his point about it, but it was a hassle along the way. Yet, since he insisted, Yuu may as well try it out just to appease the former wrestler. From what she could remember, the last time she had to look pretty was...never. Yuu was hardly a pampered girl as she was usually a gritty nerd of Karakura Town High School with a side hobby of making sure that Hollows and Shinigami would not compromise the peace that Shadin had before Nero. If anything, she would be one of the high end students before she entered the universities in Tokyo. However, she chose the path of death, scars and mystery. She does wear glasses in her youth, but her powers allowed her eyes to adjust at a rapid rate, but she does wear glasses only to read fine prints or small fonts.

"I wonder..."

Yuu was in a track of her mind that reminiscent of her memory as she snaps her fingers on her right hand before her entire body glows to conceal secrets before the glow disperses to reveal herself in an old Karakura Town High School uniform, which consists of a yellow vest over a white blouse, a gray skirt with black long stockings, a red neck tie that is tucked under the vest, and hidden within the shadows of the truck is a pair of brown loafers. Unhindered in her vision, she is visibly wearing a pair of black, titanium, rounded-square-framed eyeglasses that is sleek. She quickly checks the rear view mirror and makes a quick comment...

"Bust a little bigger than used to be, but at least I adjusted it to fit me since senior year."

Apparently, Yuu forgets that Hayato is in the truck as well.

Yuu breaks out of her tangent and notices the donut before her. She then smiles and presses a button on the dashboard, causing the truck to rumble a bit. The button she pressed leads to the on-board computer that is called the auto-pilot. With it active, Yuu releases her grasp onto the steering wheel and the wheel began moving on its own. Yuu takes the donut and says her thanks before biting into it.

"Sorry about the change. When on a whim, it is usually hard to ignore that most of the time, it was correct. Even now, a whim wishes me out of this city and beyond the dome; something is bound to start and I must be away--doing something to help this city. Heh. 'Loyal to the end', even when I wanted to be more than loyal. I faced death over a dozen times and time and time again, I thought I would not come out of it; but I did. It usually means something to a human and I yet to grasp on that concept, if there is anything like it."

Cobie looks not bothered by Yuu's contemplation as she bites out another piece of the donut while relaxing in a toasty truck. Then a voice echoes in Hayato's head as it sounds like a small man panting.

"Like the bone, wrestler."
