Once before she would think about the visions she had about her own past that she forgot all those times. Faces were blurry, voices were hidden as she only could remember the colors and the area itself. Her heart was racing in its own beat as she would roam throughout the area. The streams were ocean blue and lilac purple as the red and golden lanterns was hanging from the wooden posts. On the lanterns were designs of unknown symbols. Were those words? She swore she has seen them before somewhere... Arisa would see kids chase each other in their own game till later on, one fell. Rather it was a boy or girl it didn't matter.
Why were everyone's faces all blurry? A frown went upon her lips as this flashback wasn't really clear. Her eyes would be closed and her mind would be drifting off. She was small, a child and there she was with four other people that were about the same height if not shorter. In between the four was one adult sized character on each side. She couldn't see their face, but they were walking happily around some unknown city. Most of the things were red or gold with some characteristics of green. This place was indeed pretty with tall pink flower trees and gardens of amazing flowers. Not only that the fish here were huge with dots on them, were they Koi fishes? There were plenty of things that were really pretty, but at most, she would then see the ocean not that far. The other place that was there with the ocean was some unknown building. ''That's the Shrine, Arisa.'' spoke a female voice. 'Huh? Voice sounds familiar...but from where?' she wondered as her head tilted up to see the no-face character. She couldn't see the details of her face, but in reality, Arisa wasn't really waking up as the small splash of water did nothing, but made her cough a little as she was in this 'dream'. The last time she got to see Jeeroy was after what happened the last time she helped anyone... A sweet smile across her lips as she walked towards a bar in a rather long dress that went to her heels. Gladly she felt taller due to some high heels of black. Her dress was a long satin black dress with frills in a v-shape form and medium sleeved. She felt like getting a drink was long due due to the fact that she has been doing missions constantly. Her heart was pounding normally while her hands held together against her pelvic, walking to the bar she was known at - at least the bar tender knew her. As soon as she walked in she would be greeted by the waitresses and the tender. Simply Arisa bowed down her head and looked up. ''Hai. The regular please.~'' she would say in a chirpy tune. She decided to not bring her sword, Yoru because she didn't want to seem intimidating. Moments of drinking went on by as she listened to stories of people and those who were having a good time. Something was off as she heard a girl yelp and scream somewhat small. ''GET OFF OF ME!'' yelled a woman as she then turned her head to see some man grab a woman rather roughly. Her eyes glared towards them as she saw the girl get a worrisome facial expression. Slowly Arisa got up and turned towards them, walking slowly yet was quiet doing so. ''Don't worry. Imma take goooood care of you.'' he spoke and dragged the lady outside with some of his friends following. Arisa turned and paid for her drinks, exiting out of the bar. After that she would look around and see them turn to some dark area in which she would follow as well. Next she would see them trying to rough up the woman. ''Hey! Let her go!'' she ordered softly and glared. Her sunset brown eyes would look at them grinning while looking at her. ''Well look-ee here. We got us another lady to entertain us.'' the tall one spoke who seemed like the leader. ''Save yourself!'' spoke the random woman. ''Nah...'' she spoke sweetly and smiled motherly-like. Arisa would beat the guys up in moments with acrobatic skills. As she stood above the woman who thanked her and left, she felt a light beam go through her skull - mid of her forehead. Her eyes went wide as the moon light shined at her, with the pain starting to devour her body.
Her mind thought of how this would be if she was a child, but it was hard since her childhood was none. She had to act like one so to do that she had to dress up like one. Her eyes looked around, ears were all perked up to hear anything that had to do with the family name or something like that and in the process, she would boredly help with things that manors did. She would help people carry some of the materials and even helped them with things that small people were quite good at. She was hoping they weren't really judging her for the fact that she was a child and she was short. Did they think she was a short adult or something? Did those even exist?! She was really wondering as her eyes would look around and saw no other kid or being her age out here helping. Kids her age was probably out playing what normal kids played. What was it like to get to act like a kid, play ball, to run around with no worries other than if their parents are home or if they made food for them? Arisa had to take care of that herself. She had to make her own dinner, had to afford herself with hard work. If she didn't find food at all during the day, she would starve for that day and so on till she found food by hunting or mission/quest money. She continued on with the construction as she didn't take a break like everyone else during lunch due to the fact that she only had one serving of food, which was to be used for dinner. The weather was rather dark and cold as the clouds in the sky were covering about everything. The moon couldn't even be seen nor the song through the day of today. She did start here from this morning so it was weird how it was cold all day today. An adorable Arisa would continue on her work - no one speaking about the day or complaining about their work. 'Wonder who will talk shit first...' she wondered coldly as she would then hear the toot for dinner time. 'Finally...' she thought as she would get her lunch and nom on her sandwich. Oh, man, did she love certain sandwiches. Arisa sat with everyone else on some brick or some natural material that was acting like a seat. She was pretty good at pretending or so it seemed. She was hearing people talk about their wives, kids and some of them were talking about goals. 'Pft... goals... What dumb thoughts.' she thought as her eyes roll. She thought dreams were really pointless, a key to what people think is hope or a motivation to live. It was one of those as she would continue on listening. There was something on her mind though, the last time she did a quest here and the only time. It was with that doctor, but for now, she tried to get it out of her head. It was time to get back to work sooner than later she would do so. Not so long after though she over heard someone talk. She heard that it was time and done and over. With that the village people came and gave her the reward she well deserved. She would look back and remember that she didn't remember fully of her childhood.
