CHAPTER 3

" are you the person who brought me here?" She asked him curiously. He shook his head but froze when he saw her white and fluffy ears sticking out from the top of her head. She realized he was staring at her ears and she self consciously pulled them down around her face, as if hiding behind them. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Who and what are you?"

She smiled shyly" im camelo...who are you" "Ryuken. Now what are you." She frowned slightly while reaching for the clothes uryu left her" well Ryu. Why should I tell you" he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist causing her to jerk back and try to put distance between them. He took a step forward making her step back more but having no where to step she fell back into the tub. Ryuken tried to keep his calm facade up and offered her a hand. Camelo stared at his hand as if unsure what to do. Ryu grew rather impatient and grabbed her arm, pulling her up from the tub then letting go. "I believe I asked you a question." He stared blankly at her. "And I answered it." She said quietly and looked for a way around him to leave.

Uryu was walking home, incredibly curious about the woman in his house. Ichigo caught up to uryu and walked next to him with his typical scowl. "What do you want kurosaki" uryu asked impatiently. "Hows that girl that stayed the night at your house?...not that I care. Just making sure shes not dead" Uryu rolled his eyes " the girl is fine ichigo." He nods, accepting the answer.

"That answer is unacceptable answer my question" Ryuken sighed, growing more impatient by the second. Camelo stared at him with big eyes as she tried to decide what to tell him. She put her hair in a bun, hiding her ears "You wouldn't believe me. Now I would like to leave please." He removed his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Uryu and ichigo walked in the house, seeing his dads keys on the table. "Father! Are you here?" Uryu shouted. His father immediately responded "bathroom! Now!" Both young boys went to the bathroom and saw a nervous young lady in a towel with an irritated ishida.

Ichigo saw the lady in a towel and blushed profusely while looking away."explain. Now. " Ryuken managed to look calm. " Urahara found this woman and she required assistance."Uryu tried to sound polite. Camelo interrupted " did you bring me here?" Both boys nodded. "Thank you both very much" she bowed then smiled sweetly, causing the three men to blush. Uryu nodded "you are welcome, miss..." "camelo" ryuken interrupted. "Youre welcome miss camelo" ichigo said. Camelo giggled" no need to be so formal."

Ryuken and uryu glared at eachother making the room tense. Camelo stared at them" can I get dressed now Ryu?" Ryuken nods and leaves the room, the boys followed and closed the door on their way out. Camelo quickly locked the door then dropped her towel. She stood in front of the mirror and traced the stitches along her abdomen. She remembered the dream and the hole that would be right where the stitches are. 'Wonder what that was about.' She thought. Something in the back of her head kept telling her it meant something. She sat on the floor and hugged her knees while wishing she could hear the spirits again.

Ryuken crossed his arms while starimg at the boys" what the hell is going on?! Who is that woman and what is she?!" The boys looked at each other confused. " what do you mean? Her name is camelo and shes a woman that needed medical attention." Ryuken sighed at the answer' maybe they dont know' he thought. "How did you find her? " both boys explained the story.

Camelo got off the floor after about five minutes and slowly got dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans and an oversized long sleeved shirt. She unlocked the door and slowly walked to where the guy's voices were. "Hi, thank you for the clothes" she smiled sweetly.

Ryuken walked towards her" where are you from?.
