The streets of Rukongai were crowded. It was one of the richer districts Itou was at. It had been a very long time since Itou had last set foot in Rukongai. He was reminded how... busy the streets were. There were people going around left and right. Some kids were playing, some people were selling food, some people were simply hanging out and chatting. It was a hot sunny day in Rukongai, the perfect place for the market. The first thing Itou noticed was how nicely these people where dressed, they weren’t dressed in rags like some people but they were dressed in fine robes and comfortable clothes. The streets were indeed very busy, very busy indeed.
Another noticeable feature that stuck out to Itou was the houses. They were so big and detailed. Some were smaller than others but they were all pretty big. It was so much better than Itou’s old home in rukongai. He hadn’t lived in one of the poor districts, everyone there lived in normal houses but everyone here lived in big houses. If Itou looked closely enough he could even see maids on the balconies cleaning things. These people could afford maids! That is when Itou knew this place was rich. It was simply... breathtaking.
Itou walked up to the empty stall. He was wearing casual clothes, not his Shinigami academy clothes. He was wearing a brown robe that was sleeveless to show off his muscle and he had his zanpakuto sheathed at his side. The thing that would stick out to most people was his arm. It was bandaged in white bandages and was in a sling. He had a large white bandage on his shoulder and his back was wrapped in white bandages (no one could see the last part). Despite his injuries Itou was in a pretty good mood. He got to see his old home again rather than having to work long classes or have regular check-ups in the squad 4 barracks.
What was Itou doing in a place like this? Why wasn’t he in the academy grounds in his classes or in the sereitei? It was because of one man. Zeich Yajuu. It was obvious that Itou harboured a hate for that man. He had given Itou the injuries and humiliated him. Now Itou had to work to pay to get proper treatment. They patched up his wounds but not that good, he had to work if he wanted to get his arm properly healed so he could start training again, so he could kill Zeich. For now he was working, he was working in a market place, he was going to be selling goods to people, he was by himself, luckily a Spanish man had been kind enough to lend him a hand with all the supplies.
Itou could see the stall just there; the man dunked the fruits and toys on the stall. “Thanks for the help!” Itou said. The man nodded, gave a big smile and walked away. Now Itou first had to clean up the stall a little, there was dust everywhere. It wouldn’t be too bad, it would be pretty difficult since he only had one arm to work with. Itou took a cloth and started wiping the surface, he was clearing out all the dust and dirt with a damp cloth. After finishing it he took sprayed the surface again and wiped it. It took about five minutes to clean one table completely.
Itou then moved onto the next table. He wiped and wiped them, it took a while but he cleaned his whole stall. Now he had to put the open sign and the prices up. Now THAT was going to be an annoying task to do with one arm. Maybe if he had both his arms to work with it would be a piece of cake without breaking a sweat but he had one arm. That was going to be a problem.. As he put the towel away and in the bag Itou thought for a little bit. He took the sign for his stall with one arm, yes he strained under the weight a little bit but thinks to his strength he managed. He lifted it and stuck it on the stall, now he would definitely stand out.
Itou then went through his inventory. He had banana’s, apples, oranges, strawberries, bread, different toys etc. He had a lot of things in his bags. Itou took them out one by one and placed them on the huge stall. It took a while but he finally did it, they were all in their sections with their price tags in front of them. There was the fruit section, toys section, snacks section, other food section and accessories. Now they were all set up Itou just needed his chair. He took the chair and stat on it, since he had a broken arm the doctor told him to sit down or lay down to rest his arm.
Now he was sure business was going to be booming. He had his charms, sympathy from people when they saw an injured man, toys for kids and what every soul needs... food! When he was sure his zanpakuto was hidden, he looked presentable and all his food was okay he proceeded to start. First he saw a young woman walking by. “Excuse me mam. Are you looking for food, spices, accessories or simply toys for the children?” Itou asked. The woman looked at his stuff. “I’ll take the stuffed animal!” She said. Itou nodded, giving her a fake smile and he gave her a pink doggy. “I’m sure whoever it’s for will love it!” Itou said reassuringly as she handed him the ryo. Now Itou simply sat there and waited, he waited and watched for any potential customers.
