Since this is another really popular story of mine(and by popular, I mean having more than three reviews :P) I am going to be finishing it. I know, I said I wasn't gonna continue it, but hey, I just had to make this :D Anyways, enjoy!

Kagami was leaning against a wall, watching the horrific monster smash the office building, looking for something in the rubble. She couldn't hold back the sobs and cries, but she tried her best to keep safe in the alley way away from the buildings. Ichigo had run off with Rukia to go fight off the beast, but so far it wasn't going well. Ichigo had already been tossed into and through the building, with Rukia healing him after every nasty spill. How one person could be so strong, that they could fly into the air and through solid concrete, confused Kagami, almost to the point where she thought she was dreaming(or rather, having a nightmare) but the cut on her thigh, from Ichigo's recklessness with his sword was proof enough that this was very real. Maybe too real.
"Are you ok?" Rukia asked her.
Through the tears and sobs, she never noticed the small black haired girl kneel down to her. Nor did she realize that Ichigo was there too. And that the rumbling and crashing had stopped.
"I… I think I'll be ok… thanks." she held her head down, her sobs and tears seemingly unstoppable.
"Kagami… are you hurt?" Ichigo had noticed the cut on her thigh and saw that it was bleeding a lot.
"Your sword… when you turned around, you snipped me…" her sobs were finally easing down, slowing in frequency but compensating by her twitching, and fidgeting.
Rukia gave Ichigo a look that he read as 'how could you let that happen?' or something along those lines. In a kind manner, he extended his arm to her, like he did when they bumped into each other in the halls not too long ago. She took his hand and felt a sudden burst of warmth run through her body, but it wasn't a romance like feeling. Oh no, this was something far more powerful. As their hands came together, a flash of purple illuminated Kagami's body, almost… highlighting it. Rukia and Ichigo looked at her wide eyed. Ichigo put a hand on her shoulder, a firm hand.
"You can see me?"
She nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"You saw that monster too, that hollow?"
Again, the nodded, this time looking to Rukia.
"What was that?"
Rukia looked to the damage it had done and sighed.
"It's called a hollow…"

Konata was being held back by a group of police officers when Kagami came walking over, accompanied by Ichigo and the new girl. Her eyes widened up as she noticed their cuts and scratches.
"Kagami, are you ok?" she asked, freaking out a little.
Kagami looked down and blushed, nodding. The police looked over the three and made sure they were alright when Tsukasa came over, looking at her ripped up sister, tears streaming down her face. They hugged tight, Tsukasa's tears running down Kagami's neck.
"Sis… don't leave me like that again, I was scared to death!"
Kagami felt horrible for leaving her little sister to worry.
"I'm sorry…"

Ichigo was talking to Kagami in an alley way, his hands on her shoulders. Her cheeks were red and burning, but he obviously didn't see it.
"Look… I don't know how to tell you this, but… I'm a Soul Reaper."
"A what?"
Ichigo looked up to the skies, exhaling.
"Soul Reapers are a race of super natural beings. We're the ones who send the dead souls to the Soul Society."
Kagami looked at him, dead confused.
"So… you're a spirit?"
"Yes and no. I'm human, and living, but you see, Rukia can do this thing where she seperates my soul from my body, so I can fight those monsters."
"Ok…"
"Those things are hollows. They're human souls that, for one reason or another never crossed into the Soul Society. They're corrupt and evil. Only Soul Reapers can see them, and some humans with strong enough spirits."
"…like mine?" she asked, placing her hands on her chest.
"Exactly. Now, I need you to stay away from me."
"What?" she gasped.
"If you're around me, it'll eventually come after you. I don't want you to get hurt." after realized what he had just said, his cheeks turned a slight red and he looked away.
"What I mean is, I don't want another person getting hurt."
"Oh…"
"I'm sorry Kagami, but I can't have the death of another innocent person on my hands…"
He looked away and closed his eyes, a single tear streaming down. As he turned his head back, he was met with a pair of lips, pressing against his own and was overtaken by a warming sensation. His eyes shut slowly and he kissed back. His hands slid down her arms and into her own hands and they tightened, before pulling away.
He opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Kagami…"
