Take out of your wasted honor. Every little past frustration, take all of your so-called problems, better put them in quotations.

Say what you need to say. (8x)

Walkin' like a one-man army, fightin' with the shadows in your head. Livin' out the same old moment, knowing you'd be better off instead if you could only,

Say what you need to say (8x)

Have no fear for given in. Have no fear for getting older. You better know that in the end it's better to say to much that to never say again.

Even if your hands are shaking and your faith is broken, Even as the eyes are closing, do it with a heart wide open. Why?

Say what you need to say (8x)

It was a murder…

A young girl dropped her brown grocery bag on the cold floor. All of the assortments of food products lay still on the ground. Her eye's widened as she watched an apple roll towards her mother's body. Blood was splashed everywhere. The young girl's first reaction was to run towards her mother's side.

"Mom stop kidding your self. I know you are not dead. Anyway, I went out and bought some snacks for you …just like I promised!"

The only response she got was blood spewing from her mother's neck.

"Mother," the girl's voice cracked. The young girl began to panic. What will happen if her mother was dead? No, she would not be dead. She could not be dead. She had just got back from a mission! Drops of perspiration began to slide down her face. She placed her hand on the handle of her zanpackuto.

"Who did this to you?!" The girl demanded. "I swear I'll slice'em in two!"

The breath taking silence took a hold of the girl's emotions. She began to break down instantly. She unsheathed her zanpackuto. What would happen if her mother were truly dead? She had nothing else to live for. She had no father. Who would fill the void left in her empty heart? She pointed her zanpackuto at her mother's neck.

"Lilyan please---help me!" She cried. She pleaded. The girl had never spoken her zanpackuto's name before.

A heavenly sprit appeared behind the girl. The sprit was defiantly a woman, judging by her long swaying blonde hair which by the way, had blue on the tips. She wore a purple kimono and bearded a pair of wings.

"So you've managed to call my name. And at a young age at that too"

Tears began to roll down the girl's cheeks like mad. "Please…save Yuka…save my mom!"

Lilyan nodded her head. She looked at Yuka's tattered body. Who ever did this to Yuka was indeed a mad man.

"I can't guarantee you that she will live."

"The bitter depth of mourning is when self awareness counts, on a tide of retrospection the Ebb of flow and pain will mount."

The young girl blossomed into an elegant young woman. She was the spiting image of her mother. Well, almost the same. She had long brown hair with light brown highlights, and had a perfect body figure. She became a teacher at a local high school. Her voice floated throughout the classroom as she walked through the isles of desks, reading forms a piece of paper. She wore a pair of glasses, which would always slide off her face from time to time. She did not really need glasses.

"A look into the chasm of your suddenly empty soul, brings forth a timid question of weather your now unwhole."

The woman scanned her classroom. Dead. Everyone. No one was even paying attention to her haiku. How else was she suppose to introduce herself as a new Language Arts teacher? The old Language arts teacher was in a little accident. Alternatively, so the principle of the school says. The woman knew what truly happened to him. He was turned into a hollow. She had to wake up in the early hours of the day to slay the horrid beast. Of course, she knew the kids at the high school could not go UN teached, so she decided it would be best if she took his job.

The woman grunted, then stomped her foot unto the ground. The impact she put into the stomp made an ear splitting noise. She caught everyone's attention. She looked at all of the faces of her students. She could tell that none of them wanted to be in school. Heck, she did not even want to be there. The woman looked towards the back of the room, and saw a student with orange hair faced down, sleeping on his desk. The Nerve! That was like a slap in the face to the woman. She wanted to kick his ass, but that would get her fired. He was lucky this was the last period of the day.

The woman walked over to the orange haired student. "Hey! Wake up!" The woman yelled. The student must have not heard her. He was still asleep.

The woman stormed back over to her desk and picked her roster. She smiled. She walked over to the student and started to pluck hairs off his head. Alarmed by the stinging pain, he woke up.

"What the---"

"You went to sleep in my class." The woman declared. "You better have a reason Mr. Ichigo."

Ichigo rubbed his head. It took him a moment to notice that he was starring at his new Language arts teacher.

"I was up late last night looking for something." was his answer.

The woman turned around and looked at her other students. "My name is Airika Yominochi! It is Ms. Yominochi for you! I do not accept excuses in my class m'kay?"

Just when Airika was going to add more to her lecture, the final bell for the day rung, and everyone left. Everyone except Ichigo. Airika halted him.

"You must be punished!"

Airika pulled out the piece of paper with her haiku on it. "Here. I know my writing sucks, so your punishment will be to read this whole paper."

Ichigo opened his mouth to say something, but decided it would have been best if he did not. He wanted to make a lasting impression on Airika. That is something he rarely does to teachers that is. Ichigo took the paper out of Airika's hand.

"Now can I leave?" Ichigo asked, sounding somewhat impatient.

"You are dismissed." Airika cooed.

Just when Ichigo was through the thresh whole of Airika's classroom, Airika's pocket started to glow an eerie red. Startled, Ichigo turned back around. Airika dug into her pocket, and pulled out a necklace. Not any ordinary necklace, this necklace was made out of pure diamond. The red glow got brighter and brighter.

"Crapola….The Nova's in trouble." Airika muttered. "I've been waiting fifty years for this…"

What…fifty years? Ichigo knew Airika wasn't fifty years old. She looked at least eighteen years of age. Something was wrong with this picture. Moreover, with Rukia at home sick, he knew solving this problem alone was not going to be easy.

Ichigo raised a brow. "What the hell is happening? Just who are you?"

Airika clutched the necklace she was holding. "Look…I'm not one to lie, so listen up. You're a Soul Reaper right?"

Airika's comment took Ichigo by little surprise. So, Airika wasn't just an ordinary teacher.

"I could sense a faint spiritual pressure in the air. It didn't take long for me to notice that it was you who had been emitting it. Well, I'm a soul reaper too. I guess I'm a little curious about your talents, so I want you to help me search for someone before the hollows get to her first."

"You need help destroying hollows? You couldn't ask a better person to help you." Ichigo said triumphantly.

Well, he sure is cocky…

"Alright Ichigo, hurry up and change into your shinigami state!"

Five long minuets later…..

Ichigo was battle ready. It took him a while to find Cone underneath all of his things in his book bag, but he managed it.

Airika observed her student. "Good. I see you have a zanpackuto."

Airika walked over to her desk and pulled out a normal sized zanpackuto. Its sheath was rapped in a blue cloth. "However, I like mines better. Now, first we have to exterminate these hollows. Then we look for the Nova. There are hollows filled throughout this school, so will knock them out first."

Airika and Ichigo began to run the halls of the high school. They made a lot of twists and turns. Just when it seemed like they were never going to stop, Airika's steps came to a halt.

Ichigo gripped the handle of his zanpackuto. "Where are the hollows?"

"There is only one. We have been chasing him all this time. Expeditious little bastard isn't he? Keep your guard up or he'll----"

Airika was cut off, due to her student being bum rushed out of a window. Ichigo tried to push the hollow back, but he couldn't see it.

"…sneak up on you." Airika finished.

"Your next." Airika heard a voice snicker.

"Surrender now and I'll make your death a quick and painless one."

The hollow began to laugh. "How dare a woman try to threaten me? You better watch your tongue."

The hollow was fast. It never stopped running. Because it never stops running, it makes itself invisible to the human eye. Ichigo climbed back into the school.

"That bastard! I'm going to kick its ass!"

Airika closed her eyes and through down her blade. "You honestly think that because you run fast doesn't mean that I can't slay you?"

"Such Insolence!" The hollow gasped. "I'll kill you were you stand!"

The hollow tried to bum rush Airika, but she took one step back. He missed his attack completely. Before the hollow noticed that he had missed, Airika grabbed its tail, and swung it into a wall. Blood started to seep from its mouth.

"Why you--" The hollow started to say, but Airika gave it several punches to its ribs.

"Please…don't kill me! The hollow begged. I promise I won't hurt anyone any more!"

Airika stomped her heal into the hollow once more. "Now you're singing a different tune now that your life is at stake."

Airika stood up straight. "You may leave now beast."

Ichigo clenched his teeth. "I'm not letting that bastard live."

Airika turned to face Ichigo. She had her back turned. The hollow tried to move its tail once more.

"So, even when I spare your life, you still insist to fight?"

Airika turned back to the hollow. She extended her hand. "Kido spell number seven!" She cried.

Sharp waves of water impaled the hollow, and the hollow died on impact. Airika retrieved her zanpackuto and walked back over to the hollow's remains.

"Life is such a frail thing that should be cherished even if you're dead on the inside."

Ichigo's eyes widened at his teacher. Maybe she was crazy. Maybe she was sadistic. She could have even been down right evil. But one thing for sure, she knew how to fight a battle.
