Old Friend, How've You Been? [Private: Arianda/Hono]

Well, it was Hono's day off, so it was time to try some earth food! Honestly food on earth was nothing compared to Soul Society, at least in Hono's opinion. Today she was going to... San Franciso some big city in America, Hono had heard about it once or twice. She had heard the basics, massive city in the U.S a massive country. So why not try the food? Well with a Gigai she would visit the city in question!

Upon arrival she certainly wasn't lied to, this place was HUGE!!! Though there were a ton of people, dead focused on wherever they were headed. This was when Hono would start roaming around. Taking in every thing she could. Her eyes darting from person to person, street to street, building to building. Though unfortunately she didn't have all day to look around, she needed to grab some food, look around a little and leave.

As she gazed upon every resturant there were a ton of options, massive fancy steak houses, small fast food restaurants, she could feel her stomach growling. She had spent the whole morning training her ass off, so she really had worked up an appetite! So she wanted to treat herself to a really good meal! After asking a couple of locals for suggestions she had heard the same name from several of the people asked, Mersea.

Burgers huh? Well it was better than some shitty Chinese food you'd find on almost every city. Burgers were kind of the national food! Was that true? Hell if Hono knew nor did she care, those Americans loved their fatass burgers. After ordering her food, she found herself sitting at the rather crowded restaurant, unaware a familiar demon was being a mega creep and staring at her. After just a second, Ari would get what she wanted, confirmation. Hono would turn her head to the side, giving Ari a good view of her face. It was non other than the Shinigami.

Hono would look down at the massive burger in front of her. THIS WAS AMERICAN FOOD! Three patties, wrapped in bacon, loaded with cheese, and... peanut butter? Was this an american thing? Well Hono couldn't complain, though she was thinking to herself just how she was gonna handle this burger, no way it would fit in her mouth...

Hono felt a finger on her shoulder, quickly turning around. It took her a second to recognize the girl. Once it did, her mouth opened a little bit. "Oh shit! Sure." She let out a soft chuckle. At first, Hono thought it was a fellow Shinigami, but nope! It was Ari!

Hono raised an eyebrow. "Shit yeah, it really has be a really long time huh!" she wasn't to sure if Ari was gonna sit next to her, or across from her. Either way, she'd scoot to the side, quickly just a bit. Keeping eyes on her old friend. "What are the odds? Gotta be like one in a million!" She stuck her tongue out, before she let out a little giggle.

"How have you been? How's life and shit?" She raised an eyebrow curiously. Interestingly, Hono didn't notice Ari's girlfriend, usually those two were locked at the hips. But hey, Hono didn't bring it up.

Hono watched as Ari took a seat across from her. It was pretty refreshing to have someone laid back to just relax with. OH SHIT Relationship Snafus? Well that would explain her girlfriend missing, regardless Hono couldn't really say anything that would be so rude! Well, after a moment, she shook her head, returning to the joy she felt. She would let out a heavy yawn, her eyes snapping close and her mouth shooting open.

"Sorry-" She quickly said. "Well! How about you share with me?" A rather playful smile formed, after all friends were suppose to help one another! Right? "Yeah, being in Soul Society I don't really get to see you a whole lot." She rubbed her neck awkward. "So make sure we have fun and what not!" She let out a soft chuckle.

Oh! now it was time to impress! How was Hono's life going?! Well after just a second of thinking Hono spoke out. "Oh! nothing really, Well I've been trying to get hella stronger! Elyss is only getting stronger so I need to get far stronger..." she thought. "Oh! I also finally befriended my vice captain Makoto..." she would laugh a little bit. "Do you want some of my burger?" She raised her eyebrow.

There was that bubbly attitude Hono remembered. Truth be told it was pretty infectious, Hono had a smile forming as she listened to Ari speak, a free meal was always nice, and Ari was the determined type so Hono wouldn't fight her on it. "Oh shit! Thanks, but next time we hang out I'll pay for the meal! So we're even!" She'd flash a quick wink, before taking another bite of her burger, setting it down and cutting a piece of it off for Ari.

She listened to the girl place her order, Pizza was always a classic, I mean who didn't like a good old pizza? Hono was curiously if Ari liked the burger, but they had a lot more important things to talk about than some silly burger! "Oh no, I love pizza, and I'm not really a picky eater!" She would chuckle a bit. "Oh! You know I can't say no to some sparring!" Ari really did know how to get Hono going huh? "The regular Shinigami don't really like training with me, to many cuts..." She kept the details omitted, but Ari was a smart girl, she could use her imagination to figure it out. "So the fact you're not a weakling and can actually take a punch is really a good change of pace!" Hono really didn't have any friends around her strength. Elyss knock her out in a single punch, and all the low ranking Shinigami wouldn't come back for a second match.

The pizza really caught Hono's attention! Almost as soon as Ari offered, Hono would pull off a slice and take a bite. "Hun~? Aw you're really are sweet! I could just kiss yah~" She would playfully wink. "An arm wrestling match would be... a good start, I'm nowhere near close yet. But I will be someday!"

Hono would go back to the pizza, after finishing her slice she'd look at Ari and raise an eyebrow. "Your place? I don't think I've ever actually seen it!" Hono would quickly put her fingers in her mouth one by one getting cheese and sauce off. "I never took you as that type of girl Ari~ Paying for my lunch and inviting me over! It's only the first date!" She would put her hand on her head and throw her head back dramatically. Before returning to normal. "Though~ How can I say no to that cute face~" She would flick the other girls nose playfully.

Was that a challenge?! Hono couldn't just say no to that, she would roll her eyes, leaning in quickly, Hono would place a kiss on Arianda's lips, returning to her burger acting all nonchalantly, playing it cool. She would wipe a little peanut butter from her mouth. "Ari you may wanna clean your face~" She would tease her friend. Ari really was fun to mess with, a cute girl who Hono could tease, no wonder they were such good friends.

"Yep! You're pretty tough! I'd love to fight yah!"

Hono was also very much enjoying her little date with Ari! Two friends sharing food and catching up, nothing could beat that! Well maybe having more friends around, but hey Hono wasn't a complainer~ She would glance over at Ari as they spoke, taking note if she was enjoying her food, she really was just so cute! The red-head would finish her burger completely. It wasn't going to treat her stomach well! Hono would watch as Ari pay for their meals.

"Yep! I'd love to see your place! That way I can visit you more often you know?"

The Shinigami thought about this, it was pretty smart! She'd be able to visit Ari whenever she needed some advice! Or just wanted to hang out.
