"Feel better now" He asked as he looked down at her.

She looked up at him and smiled a little as she noded her head yes. "I've never seen you get so angry like that before...Infact...I don't think I've ever seen you argue with Ichigo before" She said

"It's because I haven't untill today...but I won't be mad at him forever...he just didn't believe me when I told him about your abilities and your sward...I told him that I took you to go see Urahara with me and that's what got him mad" He said.

"By now everyone must know about them" She said.

"They do...When I told Rukia what your sward's name was She told us that the only person to ever weild that particular sward is someone that goes by the name of Angeleena...She called your sward special because not many people like her can posess swards like that I guess" Chad explained.

"Angeleena...That sounds like a very familier name but I'm not sure why and you know how when Alejandra calls me Angel, Angela, or that name all the time" she said.

"I'm not sure why but...I always get the feeling that...I shouldn't be calling you Shiki but rather Angel...becides...You look more like an Angel than a Shiki" He said as he looked down at her and smiled but then kissed her forehead without realizing it which made her blush madly. "Come on we should find Ichigo and make him appologize to you"

"Shiki Chad" Said Orihime as the three came out.

"We wanted to appologize to you for Ichigo he didn't mean what he said erlier" Said Rukia.

"Chad...Ichigo said that in order for him to believe you he needs proof that Shiki has special water abilities and a Zanpakuto like you say" Uryu said.

"If he wants proof on what I can do then I'll show him what I can do infact I'll show all of you of what I can do...Although I'd have to be near a water supply in order for you to see my water abilities" She said.

"you mean you have more than one" Uryu asked.

"I can do anything with water Just look right behind you for instance" She said as she pointed behind them. All three of them turned around and all of their eyes widened even chad's eyes widened as they saw an exact replica of Shiki standing right behind them waving at them but the only thing different about her was that she was all water. "from the bag I carry with me everywhere I can only create water replicas of me as to how many I can only create from two ta four replicas" She said as the replica disappeared and returned back into a little container. "This water is poisonous or so I've heard from my mother...She told me that I've had this since I was a baby"

"How did you know about the angel race. The reason I'm asking is because when you spoke of it you told a few that even I've never heard of like the little part about the curse or the other pair of twins" Rukia asked.

"From my mother and my sister They told me stories about them every night when I was a little girl now my sister is telling them to Alejandra" She said.

That evening everyone was on their way home. Ichigo and Shiki were arguing. Even when Shiki had shown him her water abilities he still won't belive Chad. "If I see your Zanpakuto THEN I shall believe you" Ichigo said.

"I can't summon her unless I have to Momma says so" Shiki said.

"So what your gonna listen to what your momma says then" He said.

She looked down. "It's just that...I'm not allowed to bring her out infront of people unless if it's Tora, Maria, her, or Rukia And Tora's already seen her" She said.

"Well you're with Chad and Rukia now" He said.

"I mean I can't bring her out unless if I'm alone with one of them" She said.

"It's alright mistress you may show me to Ichigo Kurosaki I'm sure your mother knows that he's a substatute soul reaper by now" Said a voice from within Shiki's mind.

'But Nikaku what about what momma said' She thought to her.

"If it means that Ichigo will believe you and Yasutora then you must do what is right" Nikaku said.

'Alright If you say so And stop calling me mistress just call me Shiki' She thought.

"I cannot do that You are my mistress and I am your servent" She said.

'What you are is my friend' She thought as she smiled.

"Hellooooooo...HELLOOOOO ANYONE HOME" Ichigo said as he waved his hand infront of her face.

"Huh what" She said.

"I said 'If you show me your sward then I'll believe you' Sooo What's it gonna be" Ichigo said.

"You zoned out for a little white I started to get worried" Chad said as he looked at her worriedly.

"Sorry Tora I was just talking to Nikaku...Alright fine I'll show you just DON'T tell my mom that you did alright if She found out then she'll KILL me" She said as she closed her eyes. 'swim through the waters Nikaku Konara' She thought as an orb of water appeared from her hand then formed into a one colored sward much like Ichigo's only light blue and the guard was in the shape of a teardrop. Carved inside the teardrop was a Chinese yin Yang symbol. On each side of the hilt was a slightly darker shade of light blue dot on the top and a royal blue dot was on the bottom. "This is Nikaku Konara also known as 'The guardian of the White waters' She is my zanpakuto" Shiki said.

Everyones but Chad's eyes widened. 'it's HER...SHE'S Angeleena...One of the angels we've been searching for eighteen years' Rukia thought as her eyes widened.

"HOLY CRAP THAT'S YOUR ZANPAKUTO" Ichigo yelled. He laughed. "It's got a really weird name I would say"

"SHUT UP ICHIGO...What we're looking at is the legendary zanpakuto that belongs to none other than Angeleena herself" Rukia said.

"It's PRINCESS Angeleena to you anyone from the Head Angel's family is of Royal blood" said Nikaku's voice from the Zanpakuto.

"Whoa...did anyone heard what I think I heard" Ichigo said.

"That's Nikaku's voice but how is it coming from the sward" Shiki asked.

"Easy mistress Zanpakutos like me aren't like regular Zanpakutos like Ichigo's Zangetsu, Renji's Zabimaru, or Rukia's Sode no Shiraiyuki We do have the regular abilities like normal Zanpakutos but zanpakutos like us can manifest ourselves outisde of our masters' minds without the need to battle them to gain controle of us we can come and go as we please as long as you weild our sward forms visable to another person or other peoples' eyes...but right now I don't feel like doing that today maybe some other time" She explained.

"Do you believe him NOW Ichigo" Shiki said as she looked at him in anger.

"Alright alright I beleive him" Ichigo said.

"Anyways Mistress are you excited for tomarrow Have you found something to ware" Nikaku asked.

Shiki blushed slightly. "A little and no not yet" She simply said.

Chad looked at her and smiled. 'She's so adorable...wait what am I THINKING...Yeah sure she is cute and I KNOW I like her but why am I thinking that she's ADORABLE' Chad thought.

"What about you big guy have you found something to ware" Nikaku asked Reffering to Chad.

He blushed. "N-not yet"

"Maybe you and The Mistress should go out shopping for outfits you do realize that it's a semi-formal dance right" Nikaku said.

"Nikaku that's enaugh becides I shouldn't even be carrying you right now so back in my heart you go" Shiki said as the sward disappered.

"So that's where your sward came from" Ichigo said.

"Of corse that's where it came from isn't that where Zangetsu comes from as well" Shiki asked.

"Well...not really...Well...Sorta kinda...I don't really know where they go actually" He stuttered.

She laughed. "Maybe you should ask him then Ichigo" She said.

"Alright then I will" Ichigo said.

The next morning Irene and Maria went out shopping for a dress for Shiki while Shiki had to stay behind and watch Alejandra. Maria's husband, Jesus, went to the hardware store to get some things for repairing the bathroom walls, cabnets, and drawers. Chad was in his room playing his guitar while Alejandra was sitting on Shiki's bed listening to him play. Before he played his guitar he said to her that it was a song he was writting for Shiki called "The Water Angel". He told her that it was about this girl that has the ability to controle water Her best friend finds out about it and watches over keeping his knoledge about her power a secret but slowly falls in love with her over time, but alot later they come to find out that she's a beautiful angel but not just any angel but an Angel princess swarn to protect her friends and family from harm. By that time her best friend Relized that he didn't like her as a friend anymore, but as much more than a friend. He had grown to love her. and When she found out about him liking her She told him that she had fallen in love with him too and they lived happily ever after. When he had finished his playing She clapped.

"YEAY That was Great Yasutora" She said as she clapped.

"Do you think she'll like it" He asked her.

"I'm sure she'll LOVE IT...By the way Can I tell you something" She asked as she looked down in sadness.

"Sure anything what is it...What's wrong" He said.

"Last night I saw grandma get bitten by something under the kitchen sink when she was getting some cleaning supplies out and today I saw what looked like a spider bite on her hand before she left with mommy but it was alot bigger then any normal spider bite...I'm afraid that whatever bit grandma is still somewhere in the appartment...Somewhere still in the kitchen...and That's where Aunt Angel is now" She explained.

'A spider bite Hmmmm...Something doesn't feel right' He thought. Just then they heard Shiki Scream.

"AUNT ANGEL WHAT'S WRONG" Alejandra asked as she got up and started going down the stares.

"ALEJANDRA DON'T COME DOWN HERE IT'S NOT SAFE" Shiki Yelled from downstairs.

"WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE" She yelled.

"NOTHING THAT NEEDN'T CONCERN YOU JUST STAY UP THERE UNTILL I TELL YOU TO COME DOWN" She said.

"Yasutora what should we do" Alejandra said as she looked back at Chad. When she saw him he was on his windowseal getting ready to jump from his window to hers. "Yasutora don't do that you'll get hurt" She said as she started to worry.

"Don't worry I've done this a few times before" He said just before he jumped. He landed on Shiki's window with ease. "Told ya" He said as he got down from the window. They heard Shiki Scream again. "Stay here I'll be back" He Raced down the stairs and into the kitchen. When he got there he saw Shiki Holding a stick as if it were a sward staring at a giant 'red and blue' turantula in fear. The turantula was in attack position. When it jumped to strike He quickly grabbed a broom and smacked it accross the room making it hit the wall.

"Tora what are you doing here...and how did you get in here anyway" Shiki asked in surprisement.

"Let's just say I heard you screaming and I got worried so I wanted to know what was wrong and it seems to me that this thing was getting ready to attack you" He said.

"I don't want that thing anywhere near me" She said as she hid behind him.

"You're still scared of turantulas" He teased.

"Of corse I am you know how hard it is to overcome a fear for me" She said angerly.

"I know I know I was teasing lighten up a little" He said as he looked at her and smiled. He noticed that she was looking at him worriedly he looked back at the Turantula as it started to get up. "Don't worry you'll be safe with me...I'll protect you...I promise" He said.

"Why are you always medeling in with my affairs between my one and only true love and I" said a familier voice coming from the turantula.

"That voice...that's-" Shiki started to say as her eyes widened.

"Ikuto" Chad finished calm but angerly as he gently moved her behind him. "I had a feeling you would return for her So you were the one that bit her mother last night" He said.

"Of corse I was but it was only means to defend myself The poison should take effect in her within a matter of hours" He said.

"my mother's allergic to spider bites" Shiki said.

"If I can't have my woman then NO ONE CAN" Ikuto said as he attacked Chad.

His right arm formed into Gigante to block the attack and threw him to the wall again. "She belongs to no one and she definately DOES NOT belong to someone like you" He said angerly as his right fist glew it's usual light bluish white color. He attacked Ikuto but he dodged and attacked him instead. Ikuto attacked him on his neck.

"Tora are you alright" Shiki asked worriedly.

"I'll be fine Go upstairs and keep an eye on your neice I'll deal with him" He said.

She looked at him worriedly then noded her head and ran upstairs. "Just don't you DARE die on me and don't let him bite you again" She said just before she ran up the stairs.

'I can definatly promise you that' He thought as he smiled then continued to fight Ikuto.

"Thanks to you I lost my body now I'm stuck in this aracnid's body untill I die again" He said.

"Then I'll make sure you die and never return" Chad said as he charged up for another attack

"And I'll make sure you never come between me and my love again" Ikuto said.

"She would never go out with you now that you're in her least favorite animal didn't you see the look in her eyes when she looked at you She was SCARED of you" he said just before he attacked him again this time he got him making him loose a couple of legs.

"Judging by your tone of voice you're talking as if you love her yourself Tell me is that true Do you love her just as much as I do" He asked meanly.

Chad didn't answer him. Instead he attacked him again. He attacked him for what seemed like hours but only minutes had gone by. He only needed to attack him once more time then he would be gone for good. He attacked him once more but he still stayed alive just long enaugh to ask him the same question one last time.

"Tell me...Do you truely love her...just as much as I do"

"No...I realize now that I love her far more than you could ever love her...She is a 'princess' in my eyes...And nothing will ever stop me from loving that 'princess' no matter what" He said.

"Well then...I guess...you deserve to...be with her...She deserves...Someone like you...her prince in shining armor...Rather than...Someone like me...a perverted Arancar" He said before he died and disappeared.

Once when Ikuto had completely disappeared Chad quickly ran tward the stares as he began to feel the venom taking effect. when he was about ready to head up the stairs he saw Shiki looking at him worriedly. She had been listening to their conversation and now knows about his feelings for her. but she has decided to keep it a secret...For now "Are you alright shiki...Did he bite you anywhere" He asked.

"I'm fine and thank god he didn't bite me" She said as she began to look at his bite she walked into the kitchen and took out a small test tube and a corck. "I need to get the venom out of you right away or else the venom will travel throughout your body in a matter of hours" She said as she gently grabed his hand and draged him upstares.

"W-Wait how are you going to do that...And what's gonna happen to your mother" He said as he blushed slightly when he felt her hand in his.

"You heard what he said his venom will take effect inside her within a matter of minutes and since my mom is allergic to spiderbites then once when the venom takes effect which it probibly already has then there IS no cure for it and there is NO turning back" She explained as she looked down in sadness.

"So you're just gonna give up on your own mother...You can't just give up on her like that" He said as he looked at her.

"She's NOT my real mother...I was adopted into this family when I was a baby and she won't tell me what happened to my real parents" She said as she began to cry.

He looked at her then pulled her into a long hug allowing her to crying into his chest. "Just because she's not your real mother doesn't mean you can just give up on her I mean what if the venom has already spred inside my own body would you just give up on me" He asked.

"I would never give up on you Tora...becides I know how long it takes for the venom to spread all throughout the body but if we catch it in time then would be able to save her but since he said that he bit her last night for mom it takes 24 hours to spread throughout her whole body which she doesn't have much longer till it completely takes effect" She said as she pulled away from him and continued to walk up the stairs. When they got into her room Alejandra was sitting on the bed drawing a picture. "Alejanra can you draw downstairs on the couch for a while" She asked.

"Alright" She said as she got up. "Does that mean that it's safe to go downstairs again" She asked.

"Yes" Shiki simply said.

"YEAY" Alejandra cheer as she headed down the stairs.

"So how are you gonna get the venom out" He asked as he looked at her.

"Well judging how it looks it hasn't spread anywhere yet and probibly won't for another hour or so...But sadly sucking it out is the only way I know how and it's always worked for me...becides remember how you got bit by that rattle snake when we were five I had to suck the venom out of you back then too" She explained.

"Yes but that was on my wrist not on my neck" He said as began to blush.

"So it's still getting venom out now just lay down on the bed and I'll get it out of you" She said as she looked at him. When She looked at him she saw worry in his eyes even though he was looking away. "Don't worry I won't get any venom inside me why do you think I braught this vile with me" She said as she smiled.

He laid down on her bed as she knelt down on the floor becide him. "Are you sure that sucking it out is safe" He asked not looking at her.

"Yeah of corse it is if I spit it out and not swallow it but I'm not stupid" She said. She still saw worry in his eyes. She smiled and gave him a gentle peck on the cheeck which make him blush madly. "Like I said don't worry I won't get any venom in me" She said sweetly. "Alright you remember the drill from when we were five right" She asked as she looked at him who was still blushing.

"Apparently I don't remember Sorry" He said.

"All you gotta do is relax and try not to tence up It'll be out and over before you know it it's as easy as that" She said as she put her hand on his head. "Y'know we have to get the venom out before it starts spreading" She said.

"I know" He said.

"I remember you not telling me about the bite untill you accidently let it slip about an half hour after you were bitten you had me really worried and eventually we told my dad and your Abuelo after I had sucked out the venom" She said just before she began to suck out the venom from his neck and spit it in the vile.

"I remember that We were out camping with your father and my Abuelo while your mother and sister were planning a surprise party for you for your birthday Your mother told your father to take you camping with us so that he can keep you away from the house. You were such a daddy's girl that you wanted to do most everything he did. While you and your father were fishing me and my abuelo were getting the campfire ready for dinner I went to go get some wood and sticks for the fire But as I was searching for the sticks I saw this blue flower hidden in the bushes I reached out to grab it but the Rattlesnake appeared out of nowhere and bit my wrist I tried my hardest to not say anything as I took the Rattlesnake off me and through it in the water away from you and your father then I ran to the first aid kit that was in your father's truck and thankfully my Abuelo was getting some wood elseware so I bandaged the wound up just before you guys came back from fishing...It may have been your very first time fishing but you came back with alot of fish that was big enaugh to eat we ended up bringing a couple back for your mom and sister We weren't gonna come back to town till the next day" He explained.

"Alright I'm finished...I remember there being a blue flower on my end of the table I knew it had to be either you or your Abuelo that gave it to me but back then I never expected it to be you...I still have that blue flower y'know" She said.

He sat up and looked at her "I managed to grab it and picked it before the Rattlesnake bit me...I picked it for you as an early birthday presesnt" He said as he felt his neck where the wound was but he noticed that his neck was normal. "I could've swarn there was a bump right here"

"After the venom was out it disappeared somehow" She said as she showed him the vile filled with creamish yellow liquid with some red hear and there.

"What's the red liquid in there" He asked.

"Your blood that was already infected with the venom Y'see however many bloodspots there are in the vile is how many times I sucked out the venom till all the venom was out if the venom stayed in your body much longer then you would be like mom" She said. Just then she felt something on the crease of her lips. She noticed that Chad had kissed her.

"That's twice now that you've saved my life from venom" He said sweetly as he smiled.

She looked back at him and smiled. "It's not that big of a deal really I mean I got it out in time" She said.

"So what did you mean when you said 'I still have the flower'" He asked.

She got up and went to her bookshelf and took off a blue book with blank pages in it. She sat down on the bed next to him and turned to the first page. On the first page was a flatened blue flower taped to the page. "This is what I ment" She said.

"You really did kept it...after all these years" He said.

"Of corse I did" She said. Just then the phone rang. a few minutes later Alejandra came up the stairs.

"Aunt Angel momma's on the phone she wants to talk to you she said it's about Grandma" She said.

Shiki and Chad looked at eachother in worry then she grabbed the phone. "What is it Maria" She asked.

"Mom is at the hospital it seems that she's been bitten by a spider last night and it's just now starting to take effect on her and you know that she's allergic to Spiderbites I'm coming home now to drop off something and to pick up something for her Right now Jesus is with her" She said sadly.

"Yeah Tora just got bitten by a spider erlier today but he got rid of the spider and I got rid of the venom inside him so he should be fine but how's mom" She asked.

"Not too good the venom inside her body is spreading like wildfire...The doctor says that at the rate it's spreading and how she's allergic to it she won't survive the night...and how did Yasutora get bitten" She asked.

"I saw the spider under the sink and screamed you know how I'm afraid of them and so he heard me and came into the appartment somehow probibly through my room window since Alejandra was in my room" She said.

"You're only afraid of Turantulas" She said.

"Well this particular spider was WAY bigger than a turantula and it creeped me out" She said.

"I can understand that...Anyways if you want to see mom before you go to the dance you'd better come by now then come back here and get ready I'm heading in the door now I'll be there in two minutes" She said just before she hung up the phone.

Shiki hung up the phone and gave it back to Alejandra. "Your mom's gonna be home in two minutes better go downstairs and greet her" She said sadly.

"Alright" Alejandra said as she went back downstairs with the phone.

"I was right...it is too late for mom" She said sadly as she began to cry.

He gently grabed her hand and pulled her into a deep tight hug allowing her to cry in his chest. "I'm sorry" He said.

"Will you come with me to the hospital to see her I could use you there if I ever cry like I am now while I'm there" She asked.

"of corse I will Shiki You know I'll always be there for you when you need me Remember I promised you that I would many years ago" He said.

"Thanks Tora" She said as she continued to cry in his chest. When they got downstairs her sister was sitting on the kitchen table silently crying to herself. Alejandra was there trying to comfort her. "There's macaroni and Cheese in the fridge for Alejandra then there's leftovers from lunch...I was trying to make dinner untill I saw the spider" She said.

"The doctor said that she only had a up to eight hours to live...She said that she wants both you and Alejandra to go see her" She said.

"Alright we'll be back in an hour or too" Shiki said as she and Chad put on their shoes then Alejandra walked over to them to put her shoes on and walked out the door.

"I hope you didn't mind but I braught your shoes over from your appartment" Alejandra said.

"I was wondering how my shoes were by the door How did you get them" He asked.

"The same way how you came into the appartment which is jumped from window to window" She said.

"So that's how you came in" Shiki said.

"How were you able to do that without practice" He asked.

"I can do anything if I set my mind to it How were you able to do it the first time" She replied.

"You can do crazy things when you care about someone deeply enaugh" He said.

"So THAT'S Why you made the song" She said.

"wait a minute what song" Shiki asked.

"It's nothing I'll show you when we get back" He said.

When they got to the room her mother was staying at the hospital. She looked at them and smiled. "My two beautiful girls And Yasutora just the man I wanted to see" She said with her raspy voice.

"Tora came with us to come see you" Shiki said.

"When you get home from the dance look on your bed there should be a couple of books for you to read and a letter from your father and I...he promised me not to give it to you untill you were ready and I believe you are ready now...Now Jesus has something to give you from all four of us" She said.

"Momma you know that daddy died when I was a little girl" She said.

"But still it is from your father, me, Maria, and Jesus" she said as Jesus gave Shiki a long black bag. "It is your dress for the dance tonight. Yasutora we baught a tux for you as well" She said.

"Thank you ma'am" He said as he bowed to her.

"Yasutora...After I have gone take care of our little Shiki won't you Maria jesus and Alejandra won't be in down for much longer...Your Abuelo, Marcello and I have talked about this 'Should anything ever happen to all three of us Yasutora must take care of Shiki in our place' is what Marcello had said to your abuelo...he knew that you two cared for eachother deeply and knows that someday you two could get together...You were like a son to me yasutora and I trust you with all my heart to take care of our little girl" she said.

"I will Ma'am...You were always like a mom to me" He said.

"I remember one day when you two were only six where Yasutora grabed your hands and said 'I love you Shiki and I wanna marry you someday' that made me laugh so hard that day" She said.

"I remember that" They both said at the same time as they blushed.

"You don't need to call me ma'am Yasutora you can call me 'Mom' or 'Mother' from now on" She said.

"Alright...mom" he said.

"Momma" Shiki said as she began to cry then turned into Chad's chest.

"Don't cry my dear child I may be leaving in this world but I'll be in the next world and I'm sure you're father's there too...You're friends have been to the world before to save a friend isn't that right Yasutora" She said.

"It is" He said.

They stayed in her hospital room for two hours talking about the past. Irene told them about how long she had known about Shiki not being a normal human but she told them that they'll have to find out what she is within the books and the letter. "You two must go now you have to be at the dance in a couple of hours Jesus will bring Alejandra home later...Oh and Yasutora...Shiki may want someone to stay by her side tonight so you have my permission to stay the night with her for a couple of nights or she can stay the night at your place for a couple of nights just untill she calms down enaugh" She said.

"Alright goodbye mother" They both said sadly as they walked out of the room.
