"What if we run into someone who's stronger than me"

Senji stopped laughing "hmm... I'll go, I am tougher than you." he grinned

*with Shiro*

Shiro quickly got dressed then rummaged around for a rubber band to tie her hair up. Chad, ichigo and isshin were all on the couch talking about who this girl could be. Within ten minutes of them talking they heard the door to the patient room open, ichigo and chad continued talking while isshin stared to see how shiro was doing. As shiro walked out isshin elbowed ichigo in a not so gentle manner causing him to look where his dad was looking. Ichigo couldn't believe that the girl he was looking at was shiro. He looked her up and down, noticing that her long white hair was up in a bun with some stray stands framing her pale face. She was wearing a crimson v-neck t shirt that clung to her curves and black skinny jeans that showed her shapely legs and hips. The thing that caught ichigo's attention more so, was her eyes. He saw how big, innocent and red they were as if it were blood in her eyes instead of the color that should be there. He struggled to tear his eyes way from hers but he knew someone was talking to him. "Ichigo! Hey! Are you listening? " ichigo gave a small nod and looked to his phone to hide his blush. Isshin continued with a knowing smile "like i was saying, with it being close to midnight only a few places will be open but here's twenty bucks" he handed ichigo a twenty and went upstairs to bed. Ichigo took it and got up then headed to the door with chad and shiro following him. As they walked outside shiro bounced along, being a little behind the guys. She was singing the lullaby quietly, missing the feel of fighting and bloodshed. Both guys listened to her sing until she abruptly stopped. They looked back at her just in time to see her dart off into the street to get to the park. What shiro didn't see was the car heading her way at a crazy fast speed. Ichigo noticed before chad and ran out to grab her, in his rushed attempt he over shot his speed and collided with shiro. His colliding with her caused them both to be shoved out of the way of the car. While shiro attempted to not fall she ended up twisting in a way that made her land on top of ichigo. Shiro straddled his hips and had her eyes tightly shut, ichigo was on his back and opened his eyes. He was glad that neither of them got ran over, he noticed how tightly shut her eyes were and called her name. She shook her head so ichigo placed a hand on her face gently "open you're eyes, you're fine" she slowly opened her eyes and stared into ichigo's amber eyes. Ichigo stared back, he saw lots of hurt in her eyes. He also saw something that made him very uneasy but couldn't name what it was. she giggled and threw her hands up "We're alive!... why did you save me. I thought you didnt like me." Ichigo realized that he was being nice and pushed her off without hurting her "i couldn't let you die." "Oh" was all shiro said. Ichigo stood up and dusted off his pants then reached a hand down for shiro to take, she gently grabbed his hand as he pulled her up, a bit to quickly since she lost her balanced and stumbled into him. He placed his hands on his waist to steady her then dropped his hands and walked to chad with her following. Then the three of them continued their night, getting ice cream then going back home for sleep.

*With ganta*

Ganta and senji followed her trail by car for about three hours. They were half way there and needed a break. Senji pulled the car into a small gas station parking lot and filled up the tank while ganta went inside and bought drinks and snacks. Both men took a small walk to stretch their legs. They got back into the car and silently drove for another hour before traffic stopped. "The fuck is going on here?!" Senji asked more to himself and hit the steering wheel, being rather impatient. Ganta grunted and went back to sleep.

*back in karakura, early morning before school*

Chad heard his phone buzz on the table by the bed and reached out to grab it with his eyes still closed but couldn't, he felt a light weight on his chest and stomach. upon looking down he noticed a head covered in white hair and heard a light snoring. He gently rolled shiro off and noticed she was in one of his oversized shirts. He checked his phone and saw three missed calls from ichigo. Sighing, he typed in ichigo's number but before he could call there was a banging on the door. Jumping up chad went to the door and opened it to see a slightly worried ichigo "why didn't you answer your phone. I thought she killed you! ...and where's shiro. .. and your shirt" before chad could answer shiro walked out groggily and rubbing her eyes. Ichigo's mouth dropped, he saw shiro in a shirt that belonged to chad. The shirt reached mid thigh and showed her lean pale legs. 'I wonder what she would look like in one of my shirts... where the hell did that thought come from.'shirosaki's voice could be heard in ichi's head "heh you've got the hots for her! She looks sexy!" "Ichigo yelled inside his head for shirosaki to shut the hell up. Both of them going back and forth about the young lady. Ichigo made an odd face as he was having an argument in his head. Chad chuckled at the look on ichigo's face. Chad looked at the clock and realized he had to be at school in thirty minutes. "I'm getting ready" He said to shiro as he disappeared to the bedroom. She grunted and flopped on the couch. Ichigo finally stopped the fight in his head and sat on the other end of the couch "didn't get any sleep?" Shiro shook her head and moved closer, cuddling into his side and mumbling

"too many bad dreams, they never go away. Ganta didn't know i could hear him but he always said he wished he could make the nightmares go away." Ichigo looked at her curiously as she closed her eyes, trying to go back to sleep. He studied her long eye lashes then her nose, then her lips, smiling to himself as she let out a snore. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the couch comfortably.
