I don't own Toriko just my Oc. Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 63

'Hmm I wonder what's new?' Aiko thought walking around the whole sale market.

"Huh?! What do you mean this Garliccrab isn't fresh?!" A voice shouted

Aiko quietly looked over to a small group of people. Clearly interested in what's happening.

"I didn't say it." A customer said "She said it." Pointing her thumb over to a short girl around the same height as Komatsu maybe an in or two shorter, her long black hair covered her face clearly not showing any emotion at what the guy shouted.

"You can clearly tell that it's fresh!" He said

The black haired young woman said nothing she put her hand lightly touching the crab, she picked it up and smelled it.

"Sir, if you're trying to pull a wool over my eyes you're mistaken." She said not looking up at the man. "The strong garlic smell intensifies over time when that happens it means it's not fresh even if you keep it in a control temperature room. "

"Really? I didn't know that." A customer whispered

"Are you trying to make me go out of business?!" He said

"I'm just looking for fresh foods and apparently you don't have what I'm looking for." She said placing the ingredient down.

"Why you?!" He said

"Hey, is there a problem here?" Aiko said she looked up and recognized the vendor.

"Ah! It's you! T-There n-no problem here!" The vendor said quickly changing his personality.

'He's quick to change.' Aiko thought

"Really? That's not what you said to me earlier." The black haired woman said not looking up.

"Gah! N-no I'm sorry I yelled at you." The vendor said

"It's fine...I'm leaving now." The black haired woman said she took a white cane that was near her.

"Lady Shina!" An older man said. " I thought I told you that you can't just disappear like that."

"She's blind?"

"You don't get many people like her around here."

The two started to walk away from the stand, Shina brushed past Aiko. Aiko noticed her cloudy eyes, and moved her white cane around, lightly tapping Aiko's foot with it.

"Sorry..." Shina said

"It's fine." Aiko said

"You're the woman from the stand a minute ago." Shina said

"Yeah I am." Aiko said

"I like your voice, it's like a soft bird chirping." Shina said

'Is that what my voice sounds like to her?' Aiko thought 'I never thought my voice to be like that.'

"Do you travel a lot?" Shina asked

"Yeah I do, how do you know?" Aiko asked looking curiously at the blind woman.

"I can smell it, your hands have a few different scents of ingredients." Shina said smiling a bit. "I bet those ingredients were amazing."

'Lady Shina, has an excellent sense of smell not great like the Bishokuya Toriko though.' Isi thought

"They were good." Aiko said "I'm actually looking to see if the other vendors need something to capture."

"So you're a bishokuya? And a young one at that." Isi said

"I'm not that young. I can handle myself." Aiko said

"What's your name?" Shina asked

"Aiko. Nice to meet you, Shina right?" Aiko said

"Yes, nice to meet you Aiko, you've met Isi he's my butler and aide." Shina said

"It's a pleasure to meet you ." Isi said shaking Aiko's hand giving her a soft smile.

"So what's your job request?" Aiko asked

"I want you to go capture me an ingredient, it's one that I've been searching for for a long time now." Shina said

An hour later

Aiko set foot inside shina's house, it felt like being inside of komatsu's restaurant. Everything looked so elegant and neat. Truthfully she felt like if she moved she'd break something. She sat at the couch in the living room with Shina at the other couch.

"Isi is coming with the tea." Shina said

A second later her butler came with a pot of tea and cookies.

"That's impressive." Aiko said

"It's no big deal." Shina said a soft smile formed her lips. "I usually know when someone comes in or out in the house. Since I'm blind my other senses are stronger."

"I could tell the way that you knew that the garlic crab wasn't fresh." Aiko said sipping her tea.

"About my request, I want that ingredient but I also have another favor..."Shina said she moved her hands nervously.

'Lady Shina...'Isi thought 'She's going to ask the same question that she ask every Bishokuya...she doesn't give up.'

"What is it?" Aiko asked

"C-Can I come with you? When you catch it?" Shina asked

"Huh?"Aiko said "Why?"

"I wanna know what it feels like going to a few places that the ingredients are before they're captured and cooked." Shina explained she felt nervous because there wasn't any sound coming from Aiko.

'This is how it's always been she asks almost every Bishokuya and immediately turn her down.' Isi thought sadly.

"Are you willing to go even the danger we might face?" Aiko slowly asked

"Yes, I'm sure I want to go."Shina said determined she tighten her fist.

"Okay."Aiko said

Isi and Shina had a surprised look on their faces at Aiko's sudden answer.

"You mean it?"Shina said not believing it, her cloudy eyes widened.

"Yeah, if you wanna go then you can come."Aiko said smiling "No matter the danger I'll do my best to protect you!"

As soon as Shina told her to meet up at her house tomorrow early in the Morning. Shina sat on her bed a small smile appeared in her face.

"Maybe Aiko would help me in accomplishing my dream..."Shina muttered letting sleep takeover.
