'Kajikage talking in Azura's mind'
Kajikage talking
This story is rated the way that it is because of language and later content of violence and maybe a slash...who knows...and of course the misspelled words and bad grammar. Watch out for those...

Last time
"Thank you Urahara-san for letting me stay here with you." Azura thanked Urahara, bowing respectfully.
Urahara just smiled at her from behind his fan as he returned her bow. 'Things are about to get interesting.' Urahara thought.
Present Time
Chapter 3 : By Sorrow
. . . A pure heart tainted,
By pain, by sorrow,
A glimmer of hope
That no one spoke . . .
Azura was standing outside, looking up at the crystal clear night sky. She was wearing the same gray tank top and black tripp pants from earlier that day.
"Little one, you should get some rest. The first day at your new high school starts tomorrow. Go get some rest before I knock you out and drag you to the futon myself." Kajikage whispered to the blood red haired teenage girl.
Azura nodded her head as she turned around and went into the shop with Kajikage following close behind her. Azura walked into the room that the kind shop owner, Urahara Kisuke, had told her that she could use while she stayed with him. She found a futon and a giant shopping bag next to it that she assumed had her belongings in it, in the center of the room.
Azura changed into an extra large t-shirt for a night shirt before she turned all the lights off. She then crawled into the futon on the floor and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
"Sleep well little one, you're going to need all the rest and good fortune that you can possibly get for tomorrow." Kajikage sighed as he kissed Azura's forehead before he faded back into the shadows.
"Shit, shit, shit, SHIT! Why didn't my alarm clock go off? I'm gonna be late on my first day!" Azura shouted angrily to herself as she hopped out of Urahara's shop, her uniform jacket open and only one shoe on her foot.
Azura got her foot into the other shoe before she realized that she had forgotten her school bag. She ran back into the shop and grabbed the bag and ran back out. Azura did not stop running at full speed until she reached her new high school, Kakura High School. She had managed to button up her uniform jacket and straightened her tie while she had ran to the school. She did not even have time to braid her hair that morning so it was flowing straight down her back.
"Okay, my class is Freshman Class Three. I hope I won't get lost." Azura mumbled to herself, reading her class schedule and brushing her bangs out of her face.
Straightening her uniform and making sure that she did not look like she had ran, effortlessly, to get to school at all, Azura stepped into the freshman building to look for her homeroom class. When she found it, she entered the room. The teacher smiled at her when she had stepped into the class room.
"Ah, you must be the new transfer student from Kyoto." The teacher stated, the smile still on her face.
"Hai, sensei." Azura affirmed with a slight bow, her hair falling in a bloody curtain around her.
"Alright class, please welcome Zigitsuga Azura to our class and help her to feel comfortable in her new surroundings!" the teacher announced to the class, "Zigitsuga-san, there is an empty seat next to Kurasaki-san. Please sit there."
Azura nodded as she went to the seat that the teacher had indicated for her to take. All of the students were staring at her, mostly because of her hair color, but also because of the tattoos on her right side.
'This is going to be a Long day.' Azura thought to herself with a sigh. She took her notebook out and began to take notes as the class started.
Lunch Time
"Zigitsuga-kun! You can eat with us on the roof!" a busty orange haired girl that Azura had found out that her name was Inoue Orihime.
"If it's not too much of a problem." Azura said.
"Of course it's not! What did you bring for lunch today Zigitsuga-kun? I brought sweet bean jam and deep fired gummy bears." Orihime asked Azura as they stepped out onto the roof.
"Uh.. I forgot my lunch…" Azura said.
"Well, you can have some of mine then!" Orihime offered happily.
"Uhm.. no than-" Azura started to say.
That was when Azura walked into something hard. She started to fall over but someone caught her before she could hit the ground. Azura saw that the person that she had walked into had caught her. The teenage boy had to be close to the height of Kajikage and was very well built. She blushed the exact color of her hair.
"I-I'm sorry." Azura stuttered as she hurriedly got to her feet and bowed low to the boy in thanks.
"It's alright Azura, I'm sure Chad wasn't bothered by it." The orange haired teen boy that she had met the previous day coolly said.
'Pay better attention to your surroundings little one. Maybe then you'll stop walking into every guy you meet.' Kajikage teased Azura in her mind.
'Shut up Kajikage.' Azura thought at Kajikage, who simply chuckled at her in her mind.
"Hello? Are ya there?" Ichigo asked Azura as he waved his hand in front of her face to get her attention.
"Hmm? Oh, sorry. What were you saying again Kurasaki-san?" Azura asked the orange haired teen, with an expression of pure innocent confusion on her face.
"Why are there tattoos on your neck Azura?" the huge teenage boy that she had walked into asked her.
Azura turned a bright shade of flamingo pink and sputtered slightly from the sudden question about her tattoos as she hurriedly used her hair to cover her neck.
"Why can't I have tattoos? I think that they are very stylish right now." Azura answered a bit more sharply than she had wanted to, "Anyway, umm… Who is everyone here?"
Azura desperately wanted the attention that Chad's question had directed towards her to be redirected away from herself as fast as was possible. It was a lot safer for her if it was.
"The one wearing the glasses is Ishida Uryuu, that one over there is Kuchiki Rukia, and the guy that you had walked into is Sado but Ichigo-kun and just about everyone else calls him Chad." Orihime answered happily, pointing to each person as she said their name.
Rukia smiled as she said, "It is an honor to meet you Zigitsuga-san."
"Nice to meet you Azura." Chad said.
Ishida just nodded his head in a gesture of a greeting at Azura. Azura smiled at everyone and answered their greetings with one of her own. Lunch and along with the rest of the school day went by without further incident until school ended. That was when it seemed like Azura's fears about being discovered by hollows on her first day of school soon turned into a dramatic understatement.
