It's Junior Year and it's around January Almost February and The Sweetheart Dance is coming up soon. All of their friends are going with dates like Tatsuki's going with Mizuiro, Keigo's going with Michiru, and Chizuru and those other two girls that Michiru's mostly with are going as a group of friends. Rukia REALLY wants to go cause you know she's NEVER been to a Dance before so Ichigo asks her only because she's never been to a dance in her life so it may be good experiance for her Plus he likes her.

During lunch on a Monday morning a week before the dance, Uryu was sitting all by himself reading a book. Ichigo walked up to him. "Yo Uryu Got anyone to take to the dance next Saturday" Ichigo asked.

"I'm not planning on going to the dance Ichigo I have more important things to do" Uryu replied.

"Like what do you have Home Handycrafts homework or something" Ichigo teased.

"No it's just that I-...nevermind I'm not going to the dance" Uryu said as he got up.

"Darn cause everyone already has a date but Orihime. As for me I'm only taking Rukia cause I thought that she should experiance what it's like to go to at least one school dance. Chizuru, Mahana, and Ryo are going as friends" Ichigo said.

"What about Shiki I've been onverhearing that she wants to go to the dance as well" Uryu asked.

"Chad's taking her he hasn't asked her yet but I know that he's gonna take her plus you know that he likes her man" Ichigo said.

"Of corse I know that I've known that he liked her since freshman year who knows maybe he's liked her since even before then" Uryu said.

"Anyway I've been noticing that Orihime wants to go to the dance but she can't think of anyone that would want to go with her so if I were you I would ask her" Said Ichigo as he walked away. "On By the way I know that you like her so I say you should definately go with her to the dance"

Uryu blushed. "I-I DO NOT ICHIGO"

"Whatever" Ichigo said just before he walked into the school.

'How could he have known that...Fine Ichigo if you want me to ask her to the dance then I will...When the time's right' Uryu thought.

"H-hey Uryu" Said a voice behind him which made him jump.

He turned around to see who it was and it was Orihime and Shiki.

"Someone has something to ask you Uryu" Said Shiki as she smiled.

"W-Well it's just that...I found out from someone that in one of our classes we were suposed to have partners for the assignment and I was wondering if you would want to be my partner for the assignment" Orihime asked shyly as she looked down as she blushed slightly and looking at her thumbs as she twittled them.

He looked at her then after awhile he smiled. "Sure why not what class is it in"

"It's in foods class" She said as she looked up at him and smiled.

'Her worst subject' He thought. "Alright I'll be your partner Shiki do you have one yet" He asked as he looked at The tall Brown headed girl.

"Yeah I'm gonna ask Tora here in a little bit...W-we should go orihime Lunch is gonna be over soon" She said as she heard Chad walking up the steps leading to the roof. "Orihime why don't you head down the steps meet me down with the other girls soon"

"Alright but what are you gon-" She started to say just before he heard the door open and Shiki Jumped off the roof. She ran to the edge of the roof and saw that Shiki had landed on her feet and started running twards rukia and the other girls. "Wow that was so awesome"

"Orihime how can you think that that was awesome I mean she could've really been serisously hurt" Uryu said.

"Who could've been hurt" Asked Chad as he walked over to them.

"Shiki...When she heard you coming she jumped off the roof's edge and landed with her feet on the ground and she didn't even loose her balance which was soo cool" She said.

"Then again you know how Maria's been teaching her some fighting moves maybe she taughter her how to jump off of high places too" Uryu said.

"Maybe...But maybe She isn't human...MAYBE she's an alian here to observe our planet and the people that live in it so that way her alian friends can see what she sees and learn from her on what she learns from us so that way they can be prepared to live among us without us knowing or to invade our planet" Orihime said.

"I don't think that Shiki's an alian Orihime she's probibly just real skilled at jumping from high places and landing on her feet" Uryu said. 'But I love her wild imagination' he thought.

"Yeah Orihime...She probibly had to go through alot of training to get as good as she is" Said Chad.

"Anyways I should get going Oh hey Chad if you don't have a partner for foods Class Shiki doesn't have a partner so you guys can be partners if you want" Said Orihime before she went down the steps.

Chad blushed slightly. 'Shiki doesn't have a partner' Chad thought.

"Orihime's Right Chad Shiki doesn't have a partner for class so before Lunch is over might want to ask her about it oh and she doesn't have a date for the dance either so might want to ask her about that as well before schools over for the weekend" Uryu Said.

"I already know about her not having a date for the dance but...I'll ask her about class soon" Chad said.

"Might want to ask her really soon Lunch ends in like twenty minutes...So what took you so long to get up here anyway" Uryu said.

"Sensei wanted me and Shiki to help her do something for the dance so I had to come out here to find her...but I guess I just missed her" He said.

"Well you and Shiki are on the Dance committee together thanks to her" He said as he adjusted his glasses with his middle finger.

"...I actually don't mind it really it gives us at least something to do...I should go find Shiki and get her into the classroom" Chad said just before he headed back down the stairs.

'I think Ichigo's wrong...I think Chad's starting to love Shiki and I can tell that she loves him too on the fact of how he says his nickname that only she calls him' Uryu thought.

Four days later it was a Friday evening Ichigo and the gang (Excluding Shiki) were on their way home from talking to Kuiske about a strong spiritual pressure he's been sencing for a long time. He told them that to him the spiritual pressure seemed very familier to him and he hasn't senced that particular spiritual pressure in seventeen years. he also told them that he knows that it's a friend not a foe. Ururu sences the same spiritual pressure when she passes the school when class is in session so she told them that it would have to be a student.

"While we were at Kuiske's I senced a strong spiritual pressure there that was unfamilier to me but everyone was in the room" Uryu explained.

"I senced it too but I don't think it's from the one Kuiske's been telling us about...Once when we sence this spiritual pressure then we'll know if it's the one or not" Chad said.

"I've been sencing the spiritual pressure alot lately during school and outside of school and the spiritual pressure that we senced at Kuiske's is similar to the one I've been sencing but it's not the one" Rukia said.

"I also have been sencing the spiritual pressure Kuiske's been telling us about...I have a hunch that it could be coming from Shiki" Ichigo said.

"But why her" Chad asked as his eyes widen.

"I'm not sure if is her or not but we'll have to keep a close eye on her from now on just in case" Ichigo said.

"For once I agree with you Ichigo That would explain how she landed on her feet when she jumped off the roof's railing the other day and that's a five story building and she didn't even get hurt Plus her Spirit ribbon is a different color than ours" Uryu said.

"How would you know that" Ichigo said surprisingly.

"I tracked it down a couple of days ago and I saw a blue spirit ribbon instead of a white one like ours or a red one like yours, Renji's and Rukia's I decided not to continue tracking that one down untill I've told all of you" He explained.

"Plus last week I saw that she's able to see hollows and souls...she even knows the differents between us, the souls, and the hollows...and she wasn't scared of the hollow that attacked us" Chad said.

Everyone looked at him in surprisement.

"I think there's something that she ins't telling us about or maybe she herself doesn't know" Rukia said. 'hmmm...judging by the color of the spirit ribbon that Uryu mentioned it has to be from an angel...but I thought they were all dead...I'll have to talk to Kuiske more about this later' She thought.

"Speaking of Shiki there she is now" Said Orihime as she pointed at a tall girl waring a red dress with a jacket over it walking around the corner in the distance. Becide the girl was a little girl waring a frilly pink tutu with a pink jacket over it both holding bags. "Hey Shiki what are you doing all the way out here all by yourself and who's this cutie with you" She said as everyone walked up to her.

"I had to pick up some things for mom from the store then I had to pick up my neice Alejandra from dance class what are you guys doing all the way out here" She said.

"YASUTORA" Said Alejandra as she jumped into Chad's arms and huggd him tightly. "It's soooo good to see you again" She said as she hugged him.

"Nice to see you too Alejandra" Chad said.

"You know this shrimp Chad" Ichigo asked.

"I've always known her...since she was a baby" Chad said.

"How is it that she can jump so high for such a little girl" Rukia said.

"All thanks to dance classes I guess" Shiki said.

"Yasutora can I ride on your back pleeeeeeease" Alejandra asked.

"Alejandra I don't think he wants you to ride on his back right now" She said.

"It's alright...I don't mind" He said as he twirled Alejandra onto his back.

"Soooo Aren't you gonna introduce me to your friends Aunt Angel" Alejandra said.

Rukia's eyes widened when she heard Alejandra call Shiki Angel. 'Could she be...No she couldn't be' She thought.

"How many TIMES do I HAVE to tell you my name ISN'T Angel it's Shiki say it with me SHI-KI" Said Shiki as she started to get a little annoyed.

"AN-GEL" She said as she laughed.

"Oh God not this again Please not this again" She pleaded. She sighed. "Anyways Alejandra this is Ichigo, Rukia, Uryu, Orihime, and of corse you know Tora" She said as she pointed to everyone.

"It's nice to meet everyone I would Curtsey right now but I'm in a Tutu so I can't at the moment" She said.

"AWWWWW She's So ADORABLE" Orihime said.

"Thank you Miss Orihime" She said.

"So why does she call you Aunt 'Angel' Shiki" Asked Rukia.

"She always calls me either that or Angela or if she's mad at me she calls me 'Angeleena' but I keep on telling her every time that those aren't my names it's 'Shiki' and nothing else" She explained.

"I see" She said. 'She can't be an angel all of the angels are dead' She thought.

"What's wrong Rukia is someting bothering you" Ichigo asked.

"it's nothing important I'll tell you later" She said.

"Aunt Angel what's grandma fixing for dinner I'm starving" Alejandra asked.

"I don't know she said it was a surprise and STOP calling me Angel my name IS NOT ANGEL" She replied.

Once when Orihime and Uryu said their goodbyes to the others and turned down Orihime's street.

Once when everyone was out of their sight and hearing she turned to him making him stop in his tracks. "I knew it Shiki IS an alian here to observe our world I think her whole FAMILY are alians" She said.

"Now now Orihime let's not jump to conclusions we still need to find out more about why Alejandra calls her those Angel names we're gonna have to talk to Kuiske about it as soon as possible" Uryu explained.

"My guess is that we should go see Kuiske again tomarrow and let him know" She said.

"Your right Orihime" He said.

"By the way Why are you always walking me home everyday you've been doing this for a month now" Orihime asked.

Uryu blushed. "W-well I just wanted t-to make sure that you g-get home safe" He stampered.

"What you think that a hollow's gonna pop up and attack me...Don't worry I have Shuno and the others to protect me" She said as she looked at him and smiled which made him blush even more.

"B-But still I just want to make sure you get home safe" He said.

She looked at him and smiled. "Thank you Uryu that's so sweet of you" She said Just before she kissed his Cheeck.

That Night Shiki and Chad were looking at eachother through their own windows since they lived Next door to eachother. Chad was about to ask Shiki to the dance. "Listen...There's something...I have to ask you" He said as he looked away beginning to blush slightly.

"What is it Tora" She asked as she tilt her head to the side in confusion, but before he could ask her Shiki's mother, Who has broken her leg a couple of days before, ordered her to go the store with a list of things she forgot to buy. She asked Chad if he wanted to tag along with her. He quickly agreed. After she had baught the things her mother needed Shiki and Chad were taking the long way home which is walking through the park. She looks over and sees the full moon's reflection in the river. "Wow isn't the reflection of the moon beautiful tonight Tora" she asked.

"Y-Yeah...It is" He said as he looked up and noticed that the moon was nowhere to be seen. All he could see was a bunch of storm clouds. 'Something doesn't feel right' He thought.

'Shouldn't there be a new moon and not a full moon tonight...I have a bad feeling about this' She thought as she saw that the full moon on the river was beginning to bubble. She nudged chad and pointed at the bubbling reflection.

"I have a feeling that we should get going" He said as he moved away from the river gently pulling her with him.

All of a sudden an arrancar with spikey red and blue hair emerged from the reflection. he looked to be six feet but only looked to be about four and a half inches tall. "My name is Ikuto I have come for the girl" He said.

"Why do you want me spikey" Shiki said as she clinched her hands into fists.

'I've seen this guy before but I don't remember where' Chad thought as he moved his left arm infront of her and clinched his right hand into a fist. "You'll have to go through me first" He said.

"I can Arrange that Muscles You see I've loved this woman since the first time I saw her walking home from school a year ago and ever since then I've been sneaking into her room watching her sleep untill Master Ulquiorra found out and told me to come back to Las Noches with him" Ikuto said as he unsheathed his Zanpakuto.

'No wander he looked familier to me I saw in Shiki's room that one night last week...dammit What should I do...I can't reveal my powers to her or else she'll freak out' Chad Thought as he tried to think of a plan.

"Tora...I know" Shiki said as he looked at him.

"Know of what" He asked.

"Don't play dumb with me I know about your arms and how they can transform into a sheild and a sward type wepons...I saw you fight that monster Freshman year with Ichigo, Uryu, Rukia, and that one guy with the red hair who everyone but me thinks that he is Ichigo's brother...I saw the whole thing from start to finish...So kick this guy's ass just as you did to the Monster's Tora" She said.

He looked at her wide eyed but only showed one of them. 'How did she Realize my powers from that long ago and not tell us about it' He thought. After a few minutes he looked at the Arrancar as his Right arm transformed into its El Directo. "You should hurry and run home Shiki I'll take care of him" He said.

"Hell no I'm staying here you may need my help somehow becides I have a plan I know that Normal attacks won't work on him but why not water" She said.

"What do you mean" He asked.

"Ever since I was nine I always thought that I wasn't a normal human like you guys were...you know what you'll see for yourself what I mean" She said as she smiled and gave him the peace sign with her fingers before she jumped into the trees. "I need you to fight him till I tell you to stop"

"Got it" He said just before he attacked Ikuto with his El Directo.

"I'll deal with his sward" She said as a light blue sward appeared from her hands and attacked him with her own.

'Is that a Zanpakuto' He thought as his eyes widen. "How did you get that" Chad asked surprisingly.

"What 'her' I've always had her since I was little She came to me in a dream and told me that in order for me to weild her I have to go through a test and I passed it" She said.

"You're talking as if the sward is alive" He said.

"it's cause she is Her name's Nikaku or 'Guardian of the White Waters' as she's truely called but I gave her the name Nikaku because Nikaku means white water and she likes it" She explained.

'So it is a Zanpakuto I'll have to tell Kuiske and the others about this tomarrow but how is she using it if she isn't a Soul Reaper' He thought.

"Tora heads up he's coming your way" Shiki Yelled.

He used his El Directo to blast him into the sky then Shiki used her Zanpakuto to blast him into the water. As he was getting up water started coming up around him locking him inside then Shiki came up behind him and slashed his back making him fall to the water once again therefore knocking him out...But only for a few minutes. Once when the few minutes was up he opened his eyes and stood up. "Squish all that stand in your way with your Gravety Gekkoo" He said as he began to turn into his Resorecion form.

'Well this is going to be a problem' Chad thought as his El Directo evolved into his Gigante.

"Uh-oh What do you supose we do Tora" Shiki asked.

"Let me handle it from here on" He said.

"Hell no I'm staying right here to fight along side you no matter what" She said.

He looked at her. "...Fine but stay close to me...I don't want you getting hurt anymore" He said.

"Alright" She simply said.

After a couple of hours had past the Arrancar was finally defeted as Shiki used her Zanpakuto and slashed his back turning him into a white hell butterfly and flew to the Soul Society. Once when the white hell butterfly disappeared into the Soul Society Shiki feinted. When she opened her eyes again she was in her own room. She looked over and saw that her Zanpakuto was leaning aguinced the wall becide her bed. Then she looked up and noticed that chad was looking at her worriedly.

"Thank god you're awake" He said as she gently sat up.

"Well that was a long battle wasn't it" She said as she smiled.

"...So how did you find out...about my abilities" He asked.

"It's not just yours it's also Uryu's quincey powers, Orihime's Defence and healing, and Ichigo, Rukia, and Renji as Soul Reapers...and how I know is that I see you guys fighting hollows in my dreams every night so I wanted to make sure so sometimes I would spy on you guys to see and make sure that it wasn't true but apparently it is I'm sorry" She said as she looked down.

He looked at her then pulled her to him hugging her tightly. "I'm just glad you're safe" He said.

She looked up at him then hugged him back as she smiled. "So what was it that you wanted to ask me before all this disaster happened cause I had a feeling that you wanted to ask me when we were by the river" She asked as she looked up at him again.

He looked away from her as he began to blush slightly. "W-well I overheard you talking to the other girls erlier on this week...that you wanted to go to the dance...Soooo I was wondering if you...w-wanted to go to the dance...w-with me" He stuttered.

She thought about it for a few seconds. 'About time he asked me I was beginning to worry' She thought as she kissed his cheeck making him blush madly. "Of corse I'll go to the dance with you silly" She said as she hugged him once more.

The next morning everyone was walking to school. Orihime was telling everyone about a dream she had the night before. Her Dream was about Shiki. "Guys I had the most weirdest Dream ever and Shiki you were in it" Orihime said.

'This should be good' Shiki Thought. "Oh I was was I then Tell us about your dream" She said.

(((Alright this next part is reffering to a hollow. Then it reffers to a hell butterfly but not a black butterfly but a white butterfly. She doesn't say hollows or Hell butterflies because basically everyone but Chad doesn't know that Shiki knows about Hollows and hell butterflies Just so you know)))

"Alright it all starts where Uryu, Chad, and I were fighting this HUGE Monster with a hole in its chest and then right when we all were about to get punched by it Shiki came out of nowhere and slashed its head with a Light blue sward TWICE making an X on its face but when Chad and I looked at Shiki she wasn't waring her usual clothing She was waring a long beautiful white silky dress and she had long white wings sprouting from her back which means that she can obviously fly with them but anyways after she has slashed the monsters head it turned into a white butterfly and then disappeared...Then I woke up but it was SOOOO COOL" Orihime Explained.

"Wow that was a pretty interesting Dream you had Orihime" Shiki said as she looked at Chad.

'A white butterfly...Just like the one we saw last night after when Shiki slashed the Arrancar' Chad thought.

"Now I KNOW that Shiki isn't human" Orihime said.

"Orihime we can't just judge people just on a dream you had" Uryu said.

"Uryu's right Orihime you can't just judge people by dreams" Ichigo and Rukia said at the same time.

"What the hell are you guys talking about I'm just as much of a Human as you all are" Shiki asked.

"I-It's nothing" Rukia said.

"Whatever" She said.

That afternoon all the girls were eating lunch under the tree while all the guys were watching over them from the roof. "Sooooooo Have you Asked Shiki to the Dance yet Chad" Ichigo asked.

He didn't answer. All that appeared was a slight pink blush mark accross his cheecks.

"You did didn't you Way to Go Chad Uryu now it's your turn" Said Ichigo as he slapped Chad's back as a congrats.

"Fine I'll ask her to the dance but I'm only going cause she wants to go but how can I ask her" Uryu said.

"That you'll have to find out on your own By the way Chad how did YOU ask Shiki to go with you" Ichigo asked.

"It's kinda a long story...and I think that Kuiske and the others should hear it as well" Chad said.

"Tell us a short version" Uryu said.

"Let's just say that Shiki knows about our abilities because like Orihime's Dream Shiki's been having dreams about us fighting hollows as well...I think she has a special ability as well" Chad explained.

"Why do you think that" Ichigo asked.

"because she too has a zanpakuto but she isn't a soul reaper like you, Renji, and Rukia...and I think she has an ability that has to deal with Water" Chad said.

"How did you figure all this out" Uryu asked.

"Because last night we were attacked by this Arrancar and apparently he...liked Shiki...And I don't mean like I mean Like like" Chad said.

"We'll have to keep an eye on shiki" Ichigo said.

"Ya We'll have to watch her and see if she does anything that Chad is telling us" Uryu said.

They both looked at Chad who was looking down clinching his hands into fists. "What's wrong Chad" They asked at the same time

"Those words that arrancar said last night...they're bothering me" He said.

Just beond the door to the roof Shiki was walking up the stairs till she heard the boys talking. 'Are they talking about last night' She thought as she put her ear up to the door.

"Well he's gone right" Ichigo said.

"I guess but what if he comes back I mean I know he turned into a butterfly but it was a color that we've never seen before and we don't know what happens to those kinds of butterflies" Chad said.

"We'll have to wait and see...What did the Arrancar say exactly" Uryu asked.

"He said 'I've loved this woman since the first time I saw her walking home from school a year ago and ever since then I've been sneaking into her room watching her sleep untill Master Ulquiorra found out and told me to come back to Las Noches with him' and it's been bothering me ever since...I mean...What if he does show up and takes her away from me...I don't want that to happen" Chad exclaimed.

Just then Shiki's Hand turned into a fist and puched the door down making everyone Jump including Chad. "LOOK TORA WHATEVER THAT GUY SAID LAST NIGHT I WOULD NEVER GO OUT WITH A PERVERT LIKE HIM AND YOU KNOW IT" She yelled as tears began to form in her eyes.

The boys were speachless at what Shiki had just said.

"Oh and Orihime wants to talk to you Uryu" She said as she calmed down a little but then storms off back down the stairs.

Chad just looked at the entrance in sadness and worry. 'I'll have to talk to her later' He thought.

When school got out for the day Uryu was walking Orihime home. "I heard that you wanted to speak to me" He asked.

"Shiki's been acting really strange lately...She hasn't been acting her normal self and I saw her pick up some water up out of the pond with no hands at all as if she's levitating it out of the pond" Orihime explained.

"Well about that levitating water thing Chad told us that she could be one of us because he saw her with a Zanpakuto though she isn't a Soul Reaper and what do you mean by she isn't acting her normal self" Uryu said.

"She's all sad all the time and WHAT She has POWERS LIKE US" She said.

"Yes but calm down we don't want everyone to hear us" uryu said.

"Sorry" She said as she looked down in sadness.

"So why's Shiki all sad" Uryu asked

"I'm thinking that whatever That guy said Last night to them is bothering her and now she thinks that Chad would think that maybe she should be with a guy like him instead of with Chad" She explained.

He looked at her then smiled. "Well from what I can tell in his eyes he truely loves her so I don't think he would give her up without a fight" He said.

"Ya I know she'll do ok on her own man if I was her I would cut that guy's head off muhahahahah...So who are you taking to the dance" She said.

Uryu blushed madly and stayed quiet for a few minutes then he spoke. "I do have one person in mind...WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO THE DANCE WITH ME ORIHIME INOUE" He yelled.

She looks at him with wide eyes as she blushes madly. She then smiles at him. "Of corse I'll go to the dance with you" She said sweetly.

"Y-you WILL YESS FINALLY I HAVE A DATE TO THE DANCE" He yells out loud but then realizes what he had just done and blushes.

She looks at him and laughs. "Come on inside and join me for dinner" She said as she opened the door and invited him in.

'This is the first time I've ever been in Orihime's house why is she inviting me in now' He thought as he blushed.

"Since you came all the way to my house with me from school I thought it would be nice to have you over for dinner...Everyone knows that I'm not much of a cook soo I was kinda wondering if you can give me a few tips in cooking" She asked as she began to blush a bit.

He looked at her then smiled. "I'll teach you everything I know" He said. He began to teach her how to make Steaks. "It takes a little while to make them but I'm sure we'll be alright" He said.

During the two hours they had to wait for the steaks they played some bored games. When the two hours were finally up the Steaks were finally finished cooking. Uryu took them out of the oven and set them on the stove to cool. When they were finished eating they finished the bored game they were playing then Uryu left. But before he left Orihime did something she's never done before. She hugged him.

"Thanks for coming over Uryu it gets so lonely here in the house sometimes you should come here more often" She said as she broke the hug.

"Alright I will" Uryu said as he smiled just before he left.

Meanwhile Shiki invited Chad to eat dinner with her and her family that night as an appology for yelling at him erlier. While dinner was being prepared her and Chad were sitting in Shiki's room working on homework. Just then Shiki's mother came into the room. "It's time for dinner you two" She said.

"Alright" She said as they got up.

After dinner they went back into her room to work on homework again. "Listen I'm sorry for yelling at you erlier...I PROMISED myself that I wouldn't yell at you EVER but look what I did" She said as she looked at her book in sadness.

"So that's why I saw you crying...Look it's alright if you yelled at me I didn't even think of it as ye-" he said just before she interupted him.

"NO it's NOT alright I shouldnt've yelled at you in the first place" She said as she started to cry but tried to hide it from him.

"I didn't even think of it as yelling...more like prooving a point" he said as he dried her tears with his finger. "What that guy said last night...About liking you...It's kinda been bothering me since then but I'm not quite sure why" He said.

"Yeah that's been bothering me too and I've never even met the guy before in my entire life and you should know we've been friends since we were babies practically...Becides that guy was a pervert did you hear what he said to you 'I've loved this woman since the first time I saw her walking home from school a year ago and ever since then I've been sneaking into her room watching her sleep' Man what a creap" She said as he changed her voice to a deeper voice like a man's as she quoted Ikuto's words but then went back to normal after she had quoted him. Chad laughed. "And who's this 'Master Ulquiorra' guy he talked about and what was he he obviously didn't look human at all...well kinda like a human but there was something about him that I senced that made me feel like he wasn't human at all" She looked up at him as he smiled at her showing only one eye which made her blush slightly and looked back down hiding her eyes behind her bangs. He chuckled.

"It's cause he wasn't human at all...They're called 'Arrancars' but the one he called 'Master Ulquiorra' He's called an Espada Espadas are arrancars that were number ranked He is number four The Easpadas rule over the Arrancars"

"So there are more of those creaps" She asked.

"Yes...The Espadas were ranked from zero to I think ten either that or nine I forgot" He said.

"Why did you say were just now" She asked.

"Because most of the espadas are gone now and so is their number one leader they called him 'Lord Aizen'" He said.

"who was this 'Lord Aizen'" She asked.

"He used to be a Soul reaper much like Ichigo, Renji, and Rukia But he was a captian which means he ruled over his squadrent he and two other captians betraid the Soul Society" He explained.

"I get it As for the Soul reaper captians Do they ware a white Coat like thing that shows what squad they lead on the back" She said.

"Yes how did you know that" He asked in surprisement.

"Because I see them all the time in my dreams but mostly the ones that I see are the one they called Kuraku, The cute wolf one I think his name was Komamura, The spikey haired one that had bells on the ends of them I think his name was Zaraki, and Hitsugaya and they had people standing becide them that showed a squad symbol on a badge of some sort could they be their subordnants" She asked.

"Rangiku and Nanao They are leutenants Rangiku fallows under the command of Hutsugaya and Nanao fallows under Kuraku, and the little pink headed girl is Yachiru, but I'm not sure about the name of who leads under Komamura, Renji is also a Leutenant but he fallows under the command of Rukia's older brother Byakuya I'm surprised you know this much just on dreams...Does your mom or your sister know about these dreams" he explained.

"I feel like I've been there before only I quickly left with someone with a green and white hat that always wore clog shoes and no I've never told anyone about my dreams You are the first one" She said.

"Kuiske Urahara...But why tell me about them and not your own family" He said.

"I have a feeling that he could have the answers that I seek to many if not all of my questions and I feel that they won't understand them...Well...my sister MAYBE but definantly NOT my mother" She said.

"Maybe...We're going to see him probibly tomarrow why don't you come with us" He said.

"Sure" She said as she smiled. There was a long silence between them.

"Soooo...You really like me...That much huh" He asked as he looked up at her. She looks down at her book in sadness once again but doesn't say anything. Just then he gently grabs her right hand with his left hand and gently grabs her chin with his right hand allowing his thumb to rest on her chin then tilts her head upwards till he could see her brown eyes. he slowly moves in closer and closer till he was about an inch away from kissing her. They quickly seporated when Maria, Shiki's older sister came into the room. "See You multiply the tradectory of this by the perimiter to that and that's how you get the answer for this problem" he said acting as if nothing ever happened.

"Ah I get it now" Shiki said as she played along.

"Hey girlie It's almost time to go to bed" Maria said.

"Alright we just have a couple more problems left to work on" She said.

"Alright but remember you two both have school tomarrow and it's already goin on nine thirty so wrap it up quick" She said.

"Alright will do" Shiki said as she saw her sister leave the room shutting the door behind her.

"I-I-I should get goin" Chad said as he got up soon after. He was about ready to open the door when she grabed his hand.

"Wait a minute...W-Why did you try to kiss me a minute ago" She asked hesitantly.

He looked at her as he blushed slightly but cutely as he mutters a little. "I should really be getting going You need your rest" He said as he looked at her. But when he looked at her he noticed that she was crying.

"No one tells me anything anymore eversince Ichigo became that damn Soul Reaper with that big stupid sward of his everything about you guys has always been between only you guys and it makes me feel like you dont want me to be apart of it at all" She cried.

All of a sudden he wraped his arms around her and hugged her tightly as she began to cry in his chest.. "As much as I HATE keeping secrets from you and making you feel this way but I truely want you to know EVERYTHING about us and our abilities and really want you to be a part of what we do but sometimes things can get very dangerous and I don't want you geting hurt at all...I care for you so much and I want you to be safe" He said as he hugged her tightly without letting her go. He lets her go from his grip after she had calmed down then kissed her Cheeck. "I love you" He wispered so quietly as he walked out of the room.

She stood there for what seemed like forever after he had shut the door behind him thinking about what he had said trying to figure out of what all he said was true or not. That night Shiki fell asleep but started to dream. It was the night of the Dance and everyone was having a good time untill everyone (((With HIGH spiritual pressures that is))) heard not one but two Hollow cries. One cry came from the East the other came from the West. Uryu and Chad told Ichigo that they would handle them and let him have a day off of Soul Reaping so Chad went east and Uryu went west Orihime and Shiki fallowed them shortly after without Ichigo, Rukia and the others noticing.

A week later it was the day before the dance. (((Meaning Friday since the Dnace is on Saturday))) Ichigo, Rukia, Orihime, Uryu and Chad were all sitting together at lunch discussing how Shiki knows what she shouldn't know "I suggest that next time we see Shiki we should just tell her everything because to me since the very beginning I know it feels wrong to keep things from our best friend and I'm sure that Chad is with me on this" Orihime said as she looked at Ichigo seriously.

"But she shouldn't know anything about this She isn't like one of us" Ichigo said Still denying everything he's heard for the past week.

"Yes she is Ichigo I've seen her powers first hand She even has a Zanpakuto of her own and she even knows her name" Chad said starting to get pissed and annoyed with him.

"Oh really and what is her 'Zanpakuto's' name and what's her special power" He said as he quoted the word Zanpakuto with his fingers.

"Her Zanpakuto's name is Nikaku and her abilities have to deal with water but I can sence that there is more to her than meets the eye but she herself doesn't know barely anything about it at all So maybe we can help her figure out who she truely is and I have a feeling that we are the ONLY ones who can help her with that" Chad said.

When Rukia heard the name "Nikaku" She looked at Chad with Wide eyes. "Did you say that her Zanpakuto's name is 'Nikaku'...That cirtin 'special' Zanpakuto can only belong to one person who isn't a soul reaper and was never born a soul reaper to begin with But how would Shiki have it" Rukia asked.

"She said that she's had that sward since she was little" Chad said as he tried to calm down a little.

"You say you KNOW of this sward Rukia" Ichigo said as he looked at her wide eyes.

"Kuiske is gonna have to explain everything to you even I don't know the whole story" She said.

"Please Rukia...Tell us Everything you know about the Zanpakuto and it's history and Why did you call it 'Special'" Chad asked calmly.

"Well als I can tell you for right now is that Long long long long ago there used to be a Race called the 'Angels' but about seventeen to eighteen years ago most all of them vanished for some odd reason They were and whoever's still alive are still the Soul reaper's alies The Last time I heard about them was when Renji and I were in the Academy and that for right now less than ten of them are still alive today including the head angel's Twin great grandaughters The older one is named Angeleena and the Younger one is named Rosaleena but their whareabouts are still unknown but they say that when the two twins were born their mother died giving birth to them and their father died in a war a day later with their own enemy called the grim reapers thankfully all of those guys are dead but anyways they say that a Soul reaper took the twins to the World of the living as well as a few surviving angels. The zanpakuto called Nikaku belongs to the older twin, Angeleena. Since then no one has ever heard of or seen an angel though every soul reaper knows what their spiritual pressure feels like...and that spiritual pressure I feel every time i'm around Shiki...Is the same as an Angel's" Rukia explained.

"Well she does have a very high spiritual pressure I can believe you guys on that" Ichigo said.

"Do you think that She could be one of those surviving Angels" Orihime asked.

"I'm not sure Orihime But I'm hoping that she isn't" Rukia said.

"My grandfather read stories about them to me years ago and he said that he met a couple of them a few days before he was killed...he said that their names were...Irene and Maria...And why do you hope that she isn't an Angel" Uryu said.

"Irene and Maria...But that's...Shiki's mother and older sister's names" Chad said as his eyes widened but only showed one of them.

"I was afraid of that...And the reason why I'm hoping that she isn't one of them is because the Head Captian wants to see if she's one of the twins...If she's one of them then it could mean big trouble for us because I've heard from Kuiske that Ulquiorra is looking for a few spesific angels in order to open some sort of Portal of some kind" Rukia explained.

"But why would he need Angels for that" Chad asked.

"Only a small number of Child to teen aged angels are needed to open the portal" She Explained.

"What should we do the next time we see Shiki Should we just ask her all sorts of questions that she probibly won't be able to answer or just still keep everything a secret" Ichigo asked.

"Ichigo you Know how I hate keeping secrets from her plus she knows everything about us so it's only fair that she should be apart of this team...becides...She too is like us...So it's only fair" Chad said as he looked at Ichigo angerly but then looked down in sadness.

"...I'm not gonna risk her getting hurt by Ulquiorra and his goons plus if she is one of these 'heavenly spirits' or whatever Rukia called it then we would have to ensure that she doesn't get captured" Ichigo said.

Chad looked back at him in anger. "But Ichigo She's LIKE US She HAS Special powers that she cannot understand even when I took her to see Kuiske about them And I Agree with you on not letting her get capured or hurt but still we should let her into the team" He said angerly.

"You've tooken her to see Kuiske" Ichigo said also angerly as he looked at Chad.

"I ONLY TOOK HER SO THAT SHE COULD GET SOME ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS SHE'S BEEN ASKING HERSELF ALOT" He yelled.

"STILL YOU SHOULDT'VE TOOKEN HER TO SEE HIM" Ichigo yelled.

"What are you guys arguing about I can hear you all the way down the stairs...I came up here because I had a feeling that you guys were talking about me...weren't you" Shiki said as she came up behind Chad making everyone jump.

"...No we weren't talking about you Shiki" Ichigo said as he looked at her.

Chad looked at Shiki and noticed that she was getting tears in her eyes then looked back at Ichigo in Anger. "Ichigo you shoudnt've said that to her"

"You're Lying I KNOW that all of you were talking about me...about my water powers and my Nikaku...Ever since I've met her she's always been calling me some sort of 'angel' name Same with Alejandra only she doesn't call me 'Master or Mistress' like Nikaku does...Look I may not know if I'm an angel or not but I know about them I've heard every story ever told about them from my mother and my sister...And they're all true...I know about the angel twins who's parents died when they were born, I know about the second pair of twins who only one survived, I know about the younger twins were born three months under developed and the older twin sister was born the normal nine, I know of the curse that one of the great Grandaughters of the Head Angel has to endure, I know about their Rukai-shi and their Nanukai-shi Which is the same as a Soul Reaper's Shekai and a Bankai only with armor, And I know about how they can loose their wings and how they can regain them, I know everything about the Angel race and they're laws SO DON'T SAY THAT YOU WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT ME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WERE" She explained as she cried then Ran away.

"SHIKI WAIT" Chad yelled as he ran after her.

"Ichigo why did you have to say that to her obviously she knows more about the angel history then even some of us soul reapers know" Rukia said angerly.

"I go by proof not explinations" Ichigo said.

"Has it ever accured to you that maybe she COULD BE an angel HERSELF but she herself may NOT know it yet If what Chad says on the angels that Uryu's grandfather met really were Shiki's mother and sister then maybe she IS an angel as well" Orihime said.

"And maybe not just an angel but since she has the Zanpakuto named Nikaku she could be the older twin Angeleena" Uryu said as all three of them got up and walked away leaving Ichigo behind.

All three of them went to search for Shiki and Chad, but when they found them they saw that Chad was comferting her as she was still crying. They decided to stay where they were and watched over them.
