Yeah… this is the continuation from chapter 6.…and no I'm not not grounded, I'm still grounded but I've snuck onto my laptop and risked it being trashed to type this chapter for ya'll so be grateful and review damnit!
This fiction is rated what it is because of crude language, violence and mildly suggestive themes….and watch out for misspelled words and bad grammar.

On with the fic!
Last Time
The male cerulean haired Arrancar smirked as he went to strike at Azura once again but was interrupted by a flash of blue spirit energy. The Arrancar jumped back away from Azura before the blue spirit energy could hit him. Azura also managed to get out of it way by leaping to the side and rolling until she got back to her feet.
Present Time
Chapter 7: Protect the pure-Part 2
… Ever moving, Ever knowing,
To protect the pure of heart,
To keep from the light,
Untainted by a shadow's touch …
"Well now, she seems a lot stronger than the other girl was. You however, seem to be stronger than this one." the cerulean haired Arrancar said, "My name is Grimmjow Jaegerjaques, the Sexta Espada."
'Oh fuck.' Azura thought to herself as she began to slowly back away from the impending fight between the Arrancar and Ichigo.
'Of fuck is quite an understatement little one. I may have to help out more than what I usually do to keep you alive little one.' Kajikage's voice echoed through Azura's mind in a low yet deep growl.
'I'm definitely screwed now, I just hope that Ichigo can get the both of us out of this alive somehow…' Azura thought as she gulped but she had stopped backing away and was now standing her ground. Her fear was clear on her face.
"Leave Azura out of this," Ichigo growled as he charged at the Arrancar named Grimmjow, "Azura, run! Get out of here!"
Azura, upon hearing Ichigo order her to run from a fight like a sissy (even though she knew that she was no match for the Arrancar) grew extremely angry.
"I will not! I'm standing my ground and nothing is gonna change my mind! I don't back down from a fight! (unless I'm about to die, then I hightail it outta there in a heart beat) Ever! So ya can either put up with me or ya can shut the hell up!" Azura shouted angrily at Ichigo.
Ichigo ignored Azura as he activated his Bankai and began to attack Grimmjow way too fast for her to follow. A vein started to throb rather violently on Azura's forehead in anger at being ignored and treated like she was nothing more than baggage that could be discarded whenever someone felt like it.
Azura felt a deadly calm wash over herself, she became devoid of almost all emotion except for the anger that was also a type of a dead calm. She then fluidly slide into a stance that she had never used before in front of anyone since the night her family was killed. Her scythe was held at an angle with the blade touching the ground, her right foot placed slightly in front of the left. Azura's expression was emotionless, it was completely blank. A black flame like aura began to swirl menacingly in a circle around her. The blood red runes on the length of the blade of the scythe began to glow a crimson red and the bells were chiming extremely loudly.
Moving as if in a trance like state, Azura twirled around, rising the blade of the scythe upwards with enough grace that it appeared to almost be apart of a dance. The black flame like aura that had been circling her gathered at the scythe's blade as it rose. Azura then abruptly brought the blade down, sending the black flames racing off of the blade and towards Grimmjow and Ichigo while shouting, "Kiba shin'ya flar wa!"
Ichigo noticed the black flames coming towards him and dodged them but Grimmjow noticed them too late to get out of the way so he had to block them with his arms.
"What the hell was that?" Ichigo exclaimed before he noticed the way that Azura was standing and the expression on her face.
"I don't like being thought little of. How do you think I survived when the rest of my clan died? Don't ever underestimate me, ever." Azura told Ichigo in an emotionless voice that reminded him of Kajikage in a strange way.
"Heheh, well now I guess that I have to finish dealing with you quickly. She seems quite strong and rather amusing so I'll deal with her when I'm done with you. What are your names?" Grimmjow Jaegerjaques stated then asked Ichigo and Azura.
"I'm Ichigo Kurasaki and you're not going to need to touch her cause I'm going to beat you." Ichigo said with a firm tone.
"I'm Azura Zigitsuga and I'm gonna make sure that no one dies, on accident of course." Azura stated with pure conviction that she was not feeling.
She watched as Ichigo was getting his ass handed to him by Grimmjow who had not even taken his sword out yet. Azura felt the need to help him out but she did not know what to do to do so.
'Come on little one. I know that you can do this, just remember the first poem I taught you when you were first learning how to call upon me on your own free will.' Kajikage murmured, 'Say it with me now the sixth verse:
'Ima made kage no tatchi de somatte inai hikari o tamotsu tame ni, -shin no junsui o mamoru tame ni, shiranaide, ido.'
The cerulean haired Arrancar charged at Azura who easily side stepped him.
'Now the next verse; repeat it with me:
'Kanashimi to kodoku-kan de ippai ni osen sa reta kokoru wa, subete sore ga shira rete iru, kukyo, sore wa zentai no shoshi o obiyakasu.'
Azura raised her scythe high above her head as she mentally repeated what Kajikage told her to. Then suddenly, she brought her scythe down, slicing it seemed, through the air in front of herself.
"Kiba akumu no yona furea!" Azura shouted as a sudden blast of reiatsu exploded from the blade in the shape of a fang.
Grimmjow had just enough time to block it before it hit him. Before anyone could react to the sudden attack from Azura, a strange hole ripped open the night sky next to Grimmjow, the cerulean haired Arrancar.
"That is enough Grimmjow. You have already disobeyed Aizen-sama. You will return to Las Noches to receive your punishment at once." a strange figure said as it stepped out of the hole in the sky.
"Tousen, what the hell?" Ichigo shouted in surprise and hatred.
"You will obey Grimmjow." another figure said, standing next to the one that Ichigo had called Tousen.
Azura stared open mouthed at the second figure, in almost a trance like state. Her eyes began to fill with tears and her scythe suddenly disappeared. She then dropped to her knees on the ground, her eyes never leaving the second figure.
"N-n-n-no…I-it c-can't be. N-n-no, y-you c-can't be h-him! H-he's s-suppose t-to be d-d-dead! No, no, no, no, noon. It's not p-possible!" Azura stuttered frantically.
The two new people and Grimmjow turned and left back through the hole in the sky. Azura stared at the spot that they had been standing in the sky as Ichigo limped his way over to her.
"What the hell was that about? What were you going on about Azura, I need to know." Ichigo gently demanded of Azura.
"The one that Grimmjow had called Ulquirrorra… I-I think he's m-m-my d-dead twin b-b-brother. I think he is my dead twin brother." Azura said before passing out cold, Ichigo caught her before her head could hit the ground.
Those eight words that Azura said to Ichigo seemed to keep echoing and replaying in his head over and over and over. What did Azura mean that she thought Ulquiorra was her long dead twin brother?
