Chapter 6: ま い "Mai" the bright flower girl

Daylight calmed Ichigo's soul. While he was looking at the landscape and he always wanted to look back and see if Ai was not following him, but, nevertheless, it held him back.

He kept walking without stopping and minutes later he arrived at the flower shop. He turned to the left side and there was no one. He turned to the right side and there was no one, he made sure two more times and entered. Ichigo for some reason knew the path where he met Mai the day before.

The flowers shone very well to Ichigo it always seemed that this place was a magical place, each flower cared for and well watered. He even reminded the beautiful Mexico of him when he saw the Cempasúchil flower, the flower that guides the dead to feel them close to them. He walked more and more and reached the door, turned the knob and within fractions of seconds he was almost kissing Mai who wanted to leave the room anyway.

- Ah! Sorry miss, I should have played first - Ichigo muttered

-Haha, calm down Ichigo. There's a lot to walk and go through- Mai smiled.

Young Ichigo returned the smile to young Mai. Mai on the other hand closed the office door with the key, later she kept it in the least expected place for Ichigo, I try not to highlight her blush too much.

Author's note: The key was placed on her breast, a certainly and ironically useful tool.

- Good! Shall we leave? - Mai asked.

"Sure, come on," Ichigo replied.

The two left the flower shop and again Mai closed the front door of the flower shop. They walked south, the day seemed bright and simple.

The day passed and passed, no matter what was behind them, they left for the spirit world! Night fell and they stayed in a simple hotel in a fairly decent villa.

-Excuse me miss, do you know of someone who can dedicate himself to searching the spiritual world? - Mai asked the receptionist with a typical appearance of an anime.

- The spirit world? Are you really looking for that legend? - The girl was surprised, but looking at Mai's determination for a few moments she sighed.

I look one way and the other, and after that she… she said:

-Listen, miss, if you want to look for that legend, the best seekers in this "world" are Gabriela and her somewhat strange companion called Glitchy- and she said no more, she attended to other clients and left Mai, on the other hand, the young woman left to the bedroom where Ichigo was at the window.

- Do you really like to see the landscape in windows? - Mai asked

- Oh! Yes ... yes something. Why not. It's relaxing, I used to do it with my sister on rainy days. - The look was inserted in the bed Ichigo's eyes seemed sad, Mai smiled and approached.

- We have new news! Tomorrow we will go to "Never Green Garden" a building that is dedicated to seeking the spiritual world. Are you ready? - Mai smiled.

"Yes, of course" Ichigo saw that it was just a double bed and blushed.

- AH! It was… it was the cheapest of all, sorry if it bothers you - Ichigo interrupted.

- Not at all! Feel free to be around here, I'll turn around if you want to change quickly, it's too late at night and we must rest- Ichigo said.

-Thank you… - Mai said with a certain whisper.

"What a determined confidence" Mai thought, Ichigo was apparently asleep, Mai slowly began to undress, the cold was warm but sharp. She took out of her backpack a teddy bear pajamas and put them on, she also took out some slippers made in the old “Valladolid”. There were many memories in a simple dress of nightwear.

The two put a wall of beds, they did not want to touch the privacy of the other. They were newbies in all that, the young Ichigo looked at the window that had half closed the stars were shining to be very beautiful.

The night passed, the day began ... the two were already having breakfast. Ready to leave for Never Green Garden the city leaves the south. The wind was blowing very determinedly, the two young men had resistance. More and more they got closer to the city ... the more their bodies felt heavy as if someone wanted to prevent them from going there.

"Let's go it's only a few more kilometers ..." Ichigo said to himself.

-Quiet, I know we can ... - Mai smiled somewhat forced.

She started snowing for some reason. The cold was sharp and strong. The two young men put on the jacket the receptionist had given them.

- Go! If you can get there- exclaimed Mai

The two were on the verge of hypothermia, however, in the distance they saw the great building of Never Green Garden, they barely took their last steps to get there, there was no one in the houses ... everything was abandoned. has he lied? " Ichigo thought… the vision was very blurry; they couldn't take it anymore they felt that it would give them hypothermia at any moment. They stood at the entrance, panting they looked up… but after that the silhouette of two girls was the only thing they could see before they passed out.

-Quick, Glitchy! Bring blankets and medicine… Oh! No no ... Hold on guys! - That voice was heard by Ichigo.
