Welcome to chapter 3! Well, enjoy the chapter.

- Chapter 3:Meeting Renji-

Akai walks through the Karakura Town Park,"Hm..." Her dull grey eyes look up

at the bright moon wondering if her ancestors are angry at her for leaving them

behind. A tear swells up in her eye,'Maybe my family doesn't miss me at all or I

wasn't wanted...' She sat by a old tree, crying silently. Tears rolled down her

she sensed a person near by and turns to look to her right to see a

red haired man that looked down on her. Then she relizes she does know the

person causing her to jump up back away to a safer distance.

Renji looks at the girl wondering who she was asked,"Who are you and why are

you crying?"

Akai blushes in embarrassment at not noticing him,"No-nothing that you need to

know..." She backs away a little more then shows her gray wings in a misguided

attempt at intimidation,"Its nothing just leave me alone." As quick as she could

she flew into the old tree and landed on one of the branches.

Renji sweat dropping at her actions,"Geez..whats her problem?" He begins to

walk away then bumps into Ichigo as he is leaving the park,"What you're

looking for?" After geting up he looked towards Ichigo whose eyes were shifting

around.

Ichigo thankful for an extra person to help in the search asked,"I'm looking for a

girl with gray wings. She about as tall as Orihime maybe a little shorter, wears a

gray jacket high school uniform, white shirt uniform, the high school uniform

skirt, and black bo-"

Renji easily answered,"She flew into the old tree and I was just about to look

around for Rukia. How is she anyways?" looking at him with a curious look.

Ichigo looks at Renji with a serious look,"Thanks Renji. Good luck on that."

Renji waved as Ichigo left,"Thanks, bye.." than flash steps away.

Scene Change-

A tear falls from the old tree with mumbles. The sound of light sobbing reached

down to the ground.

Ichigo notices the tear and hearing her crying flash steps to the tree,"What

wrong you, now?" There was no response,"Come on! Why are you keeping this

all on yourself. You don't need to carry this burdern by yourself you have

friends! If you need something if you need something you can ask us for help. If

you keep this up you will only hurt yourself futher then you already have. Soon

you have no friends." He holds holds his hand out towards the tree to show her

his extented friendship.

Akai looks at the hand in surprise that after all the irratation she caused him he

would still want to be her friend,"You don't know what you're talking about. You

don't know what happen to me and I have no friends for you information so just

leave me alone..." She flew out of the tree and back to her home.

Ichigo puts his hand down and goes after that girl.

Akai stops mid-air then looks at Ichigo tears still pouring down her face,"Why

are you following me?!" She pulls out her zanpakuto,"Go away!"

Ichigo stops and looks at the girl,"No, you do have friends. Me, Orihime, and

others are all your friends. You might not realize it, but you always have friends

there to pick you up when you fall so let us help with your pain damn it!"

Akai looked away,"You don't know how I feel right now. You don't even know

me at all. How can I consider you a friend at all?"

Ichigo gets beside the girl standing on the air,"You might not get this, people in

this world can be friends by meeting each other once, like me and Rukia. I only

knew her for like one night and the day next we were friends. I knew she gonna

be executed so I went to save her and Chad, Orihime, Uryu, Yoruichi, all went

to save her with me even though they barely knew her she changed all our lives

for ever. I felt like I had a dept to her for many things when she gave the the

power to save my family and how she help my friends out. You see, people in

our world can be friends doesn't really matter if you're only here for a day."

Akai looks blankly at him,"So..they don't care who I am. I just no one! You don't

get what happen to me at all!" She attacks in desperate manner.

Ichigo pulls out his sword which is still in shikai,"Why? What are you doing?!

Let us help you or I will force you to accept us as friends." He rushes forward

with and over head swing

Akai blocks Ichigo attack with some diffcultly,"You don't know how my past is!

I am the only one! You won't ever know how I feel! I hate this damn world!"

Then she uses her zanpakuto power,"Kaze ga ukeireru!" A strong gust of wind

hit Ichigo sending him flying straight into the ground and holding him there.

Ichigo hits the ground looking above him seeing her zanpakuto in his

face,"Wh-why are you so stubborn? Why can't you be friends with us?" looking

in the girls crying face.

Akai looks at Ichigo and a tear falls on his face,"Why do you keep wanting to

help me?! I don't want you to!" Ichigo fights the wind holding him down and

fought to get back on his feet. "Damn it think we are your friends and we are not

going anywhere." Then she looks behind her seeing the red head from

earlier,"Go away! I don't want to deal with you right now!"

Renji grabs the girls sword in his hand,"Why are you doing? Why did you attack

him?"

Akai hides her wings,"Go away. I said I don't want to talk to you now..."

Ichigo told his red hair friend,"Renji I am trying to get it through her head I am

her friend."

Renji finally lets the girls sword go,"Hm..."

Akai growls at them,"Leave me alone!" She finally broke down and dropped

her weapon crying. Renji looks unconfortable,"I am just going to leave just do what ever." He

quickly left.

Akai looks at Ichigo growling, tears falling from her eyes ,"Why won't just give

up and leave."

"Simple I don't give up on friends and I hate to see people depressed for any

reason. That and you remind me of my friend Orihime she has no family. It took

her a few weeks but she recovered. So that it is why." He smirked.
