Quin-tessential Disobedience [Minori/Yumiko]

While Minori may be naive, her eyes were sharp. She could totally see that Yumiko-senpai was trying to hide the bill from her. She narrowed her eyes, squinting in the direction of her senpai.

"OOOOOOI, YUMIKO-SENPAI! I SAW THAT. Y-YOU CAN'T JUST DISTRACT ME WITH HEADPATS~~" She puffed out her cheeks, eyes glittering with resolve as she sat perched on Yumiko-senpai's motorcycle, her slender arms wrapped tightly around Yumiko-senpai's mid-section. The sound was comically muffled by her helmet. However, it didn't last too long. Minori DID get distracted... By the prospect of shopping! And seeing the Kamenashi family home!

Minori missed the little things about home in Karakura Central. She missed her bed, her clothes, the family dog - Fuwa, and a nice hot bath on hard days. Even the mean teachers at school. She was unsure of whether she would ever get to see and experience those things again, but that was a decision that she made the night she left in erroneous pursuit of a Shinigami butterfly - not even 5 days ago.

It was crazy to think how quickly the world as Minori knew it was up-ended and turned upside down. This new life as a quincy was her reality now.

That being said, the pink haired quincy snuggled into her senpai and before she knew it, they arrived at their destination: a shopping centre.

Minori had never really travelled outside of Karakura Central before, so she was amazed at the sight.

"Waaaaaaooo~~!"

Yumiko couldn't help but grin to herself as Minori complained rather vocally about how Yumiko was attempting to distract her with headpats when it came to the bill. Even if it was a bit pricey for two people, Yumiko didn't care. It was her treat to Mino, nothing more, nothing less. After all, the girl couldn't pay for it anyways. Anything she may have had back in Karakura wasn't exactly in reach for the time being, after all... Regardless, Yumiko was glad Mino was so comfortable with her after such a short time, holding her tight and snuggling into her back during the ride. Really... Could be her little sister, for all Yumiko knew.

Upon arrival, and Mino's amazed exclamation, Yumiko smiled warmly as she pulled off her helmet and shook her hair gently. As her drill bounced from the movement, Yumiko carefully adjusted her hair into place before she stored the helmet and looked at Mino; who likely still was holding onto Yumiko in one form or another.

"Well...? Where do you want to start first? We've got clothes to choose from, toiletries to secure, and a variety of other things."

Yumiko smiled and flipped her kickstand down in their parking place, and carefully extracted herself from Mino's grasp if she had not already released Yumiko. With the removal of the leather riding jacket, and storage of that item and Minos, Yumiko guided Minori into the shopping center.

While Karakura had many places to shop, some far different in many ways, this was a far cry different from that; and in every way. It was large, filled with the noises of foot traffic, voices, and people going about their day. Yumiko smiled, extending a hand to Minori as she gestured with the other towards the main body of the shopping center.

"Shall we? You take the lead. I want you to figure out what you would like, and do not worry about the price, okay? This is about getting a young woman a proper closet and living amenities; not being conservative about money. Not right now, at least. So, don't be shy... and take us in when you're ready."

"Hai, senpai!" Mino smiled at her senpai before reaching forth and clasping their hands together, squeezing gently. To be honest, Mino was a little nervous of such a large crowd despite being from the city herself. She was a creature of habit and usually stayed close to home in Karakura.

She set her sights first what looked similar to a department store, and tugged her senpai in that direction. As they entered, different perfumes would waft in their direction. Notes of citrus, flowers, even gourmand scents like sweet melon, lychee and candy. The pink-haired quincy paused and took in the scent. It was kind of comforting, whatever it was. Maybe she'd come back and buy a perfume once she had a little money to spare - but she wouldn't ask Yumiko-senpai to buy her any.

Mino hummed a random tune softly to herself as she dragged Yumiko-senpai to a set of escalators, hopping onto one of the steps. It lifted them to another part of the store that was illuminated by a sign that directed them to the Junior's Apparel department. Mino was quite slight and didn't fit into any women's clothing yet.

Hopefully with Yumiko-senpai's training, she'd gain some muscle and fill out her figure. Granted, she was still a teen so her metabolism was quite fast - and Mino ate A LOT.

It was clear that Minori was beginning to feel like herself again. She still had a few lingering aches and soreness from her wounds, but they were healing nicely.

"Ah~! That's cute!" Minori nearly jumped off the escalator once their reached the top. There was a fluffy beige cardigan hanging on one of the racks. She grabbed the first one she saw in her size and draped it over her arm. A few rows back, she found a frilly white linen dress and collected it in her size, following suit and draping it over her arm as well.

Minori would repeat this process several times around the store, her arms nearly full with various long socks, frilly undergarments, dresses, work out clothes for their training, a few pairs of pants, some skirts, shirts, and hoodies.

"A-Ano, senpai... I hope this isn't too much..." She blushed, peeking out at her senpai from the side of her mountain of clothes, her head cocked to the side.

Minori was just like a child in a candy store. Yumiko was dragged throughout the many different stores they visited. Perfumes, clothing, toiletries, and many other things were obtained swiftly. It wasn't long before Mino was no longer holding Yumiko's hand thanks to the rather large pile of clothes she had to carry. When Mino peeked around the mountain of clothing, it was hard for Yumiko not to burst out laughing! Yumiko simply smiled and gave Minori a gentle headpat.

"It isn't, Mino. Cmon, let's go get all that bought."

Yumiko smiled and guided Mino to the front of the store where they could pay for everything that Mino had chosen. The selection seemed to have left the cashier flabbergasted, especially when she was done ringing everything up. However, as nonchalant as could be, Yumiko simply whipped out her phone and paid for the amount in full; without batting an eyelash. Perhaps this action alone would help assure Minori about Yumiko's wealth... Orrrr she'd just get more concerned about it. Regardless, loaded down with bags as they were, Yumiko lead Minori out of the store, giving the woman a warm smile.

"Hopefully that should be all the amenities you need~! If you ever need something, ask me or my mom, okay? We'll get it for you, Mino. Now, cmon, let's get you to my house so we can get this stuff into your room."

Once Yumiko and Mino had arrived back at Yumiko's motorcycle, Yumiko helped Mino pack everything away so it would ride well and not fall off. When that was done, Yumiko got their helmets and jackets back out, and the Quincy set off on the road again, towards the Kamenashi residence. It wasn't exactly a short drive, but it would give them some time to talk a little bit.

"How are you feeling by the way, Mino? You are a Quincy, so your recovery should be much faster than a normal human's; but it's still best to not overdo it."
