"I'll be alright Tora" She said.
"Are you sure" He asked.
"Yeah I'll be alright for a while" She said. Just then she saw that he had his tie tied wrong. She giggled sweetly. "You don't know how to tie a necktie very good do you"
"Eh Well I tried...Hey it's my first time ever actually waring one that you actually had to tie the only ones I've ever had to ware when I was a kid was the clip-ons" He said.
She giggled a little more. "Here let me help" She said as she started to untie his necktie and retied it right.
"You look Beautiful by the way...In that dress that is" He said as he looked off to the side and blushed a little.
"T-Thanks Tora...Y'know I should probibly ware dresses more often I mean I have some skirts but they don't look all that good on me like plain old T-shirts and jeans do" She said as she finished tieing his necktie. "Come on we should go I promised Orihime and Rukia that we'd meet them there at eight" She said as she stood up.
She turned around to leave the room but when she turned around Chad saw two six inch long scars on her back. His eyes widen. He hesitated but slowely reached out to touch them. When he did he heard her squeak so he quickly took his hand away from them as she turned around. "I didn't do anything" He lied.
"I know you did something I felt your hand on my back don't lie to me Now tell the truth what did you do" She asked.
"Well it's just that...I saw a couple of scars on your back that I've never seen before and I...Wanted to get a closer look at them" he said.
"I've had these scars since I was nine...I got them the day my father died...remember that accident he was in" She asked.
"Yeah why" he asked.
"I was with him that day remeber it was take your daughter to work" She said.
"I remember that now...Come on we should go You can tell me more about your scars later" He said as he gently grabed her hand and they walked down the stars.
Once when they saw Maria they seperated hands. "It's just how mother had pictured you two in those outfits when she baught them Radiant as always" Said as she took a few pictures with her camera.
"Come on Maria it's the sweetheart dance not prom You don't need to take all these pictures" She said.
"of corse I do I'm going back to the hospital to show them to mother be thankful we don't have to take them back anywhere cause she baught them not rent them" She said.
"I know I know Tell her we said thank you and that we'll miss her" She said as she grabed her red coat and put on her red shoes that matched the dress. Chad put his shoes on and tied them. "Oh and you know how long I can mourn in someone's death so mom told me that Tora can stay the night untill I can calm down about it" She wispered in her sister's ear.
"I understand...Just don't do anything alright" She wispered back.
"We won't" Shiki quickly said.
"Shall we go" Chad said as he held out his arm for her.
"Let's" she said as she put her arm through his and they headed out the door.
When they got to the school Ichigo and Rukia were waiting by the entrance. "About time you two showed up" Ichigo said.
"Oh my god SHIKI that Dress is BEAUTIFUL" Rukia said as she examined Shiki's dress.
"Thanks That's exactly what Tora said about it and I love it" Shiki said as she did a perowet which made the skirtpart of it flow as she turned.
"Tell me I MUST know where you baught it at" She asked.
"Actually momma baught us our outfits so I'm not quite sure I'll have to ask my sister when we get back" She said. She looked up at Chad and noded her head. "Come on let's wait for Orihime over here Tora wants to ask Ichigo something in private" She said as she grabed Rukia's hand and walked inside the school gates.
"Something private to talk to me about huh" Ichigo said.
"It's kind of important" Chad said sadly.
"What's up" Ichigo asked.
"Well...You know that Arrancar that I was talking about" Chad asked.
"Yeah why" Ichigo said.
"Well...Apparently he came back but in a turantula's body and he bit Shiki's mother" He began.
"Yeah so" Ichigo said.
"Well...Shiki's mother is allergic to spider bites and right now she's in the hospital for it but the venom spread througout her body too fast for the doctors to do anything about it so now she's dying...So Shiki and I have a Favor to ask of you and Rukia" He continued.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry...What would that be" He said.
"Well She wants you and Rukia to do a Konso on her mother's soul once you find it so that way she won't have to worry about her for long" He said.
"Alright we'll do that" Ichigo said.
"Thank you Ichigo" Chad said.
"She was like a mother to you wasn't she" Ichigo asked.
"Yes...you know that I've known Shiki and her family since we were little kids...Wherever she went with her mother or father she would always tag me along with her sometimes she would also tag my abuelo with us as well" He said.
"You sure love her alot don't you" Ichigo said.
"Yeah...I do" He said as he looked at Shiki and smiled at her lovingly.
"So how's that song coming along that you're working on for her did she like it" Ichigo asked.
"The instramental part is finished now als it needs is the lyrics but I haven't played it for her yet...I've played it for Alejandra for a practice run to see if all the notes were good enaugh" He said.
"I'd say just leave it the way it is now and she'll figure out the lyrics for it when you play it I sorta been noticing that whenever she listens to music with no words it's like she knows what the songs about and so she thinks of words for that song" He said.
"You think so" Chad asked.
"I know it Chad you just gotta see for yourself" He said.
He looked back at Shiki as she and Rukia were doing more perowets. He smiled sweetly at them.
"It's Rukia's first time in a dress like that I think she looks pretty in it" Ichigo said. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Uryu and Orihime waking tward them. "Well look who decided to show up" he said as Orihime walked tward the girls as Uryu walked tward Ichigo and Chad.
"Sorry we're late Orihime wanted to ware the perfect dress she had from her closet" Uryu said.
"So you basically had to be the judge as she modeled for you right" Ichigo teased.
"S-something like that" Uryu said as he adjusted his glasses with his middle finger.
Chad continued to look over at Shiki and the other girls. Just then he saw a small black mass hidden in the grass near Shiki's feet. he looked closely at it and noticed that it was a regular sized Turantula.
"Hey Chad do you see that mass that's in the grass by the girls" Uryu asked.
"Yeah" He said.
"It's a turantula isn't it...Isn't Shiki Scared of turantulas" Uryu said.
"Of corse she is" Chad said.
"What do you supose we do" Ichigo asked.
"We should call the girls over before they get hurt" Uryu suggested.
"Right" Chad agreed.
"Hey Orihime come on we're heading inside now" Uryu said.
"Shiki Come on" Chad said.
"Get over here shorty before you get cold" Ichigo said.
Orihime and Shiki ran back to Uryu and Chad but Rukia stayed behind for she had seen the black mass in the grass and wanted to check it out. "Facinating HEY ICHIGO WHAT IS THIS CREATURE" She said as she pointed at the turantula and looked at Ichigo.
"It's a turantula and if you don't come back here it'll bite you and that won't be good at all" Said Ichigo.
"Fine" She said as she stood up and walked back to Ichigo. The six of them walked inside the school building Someone was there to take their coats. When Shiki took her coat off everyone saw the scars on her back. "Whoa...Shiki how did you get those scars on your back" Rukia asked.
"Oh these I've had these forever I'm not sure how I got them though als I remember is that I got them the night my father and I were in that car accident...Which I'm very suprised that I survived it" She said.
"I remember there being a car accident about eight years ago where the car hit a milk truck and only one survived...A little girl...I saw that when they were bringing her out of the car she had wings but they fell off and turned into white rose peddles...I think the little girl...Was you Shiki" Chad said.
"How could it be me Tora I mean I do remember him hitting a milk truck but I don't remember having wings" Shiki said.
"Chad are you sure the little girl looked exactly like Shiki" Ichigo asked.
"I'm sure of it" Chad said.
"She has to be a Fallen Angel That's why she has those scars on her back and I've seen those types of scars before We studied them at the accademy they're deffinately wing scars" Rukia said.
"So I am an angel" Shiki said.
"Well you're a fallen angel meaning you used to be an angel but your wings came off when you were in that accident but they can come back but how they come back you may have to find that out on your own" Rukia said.
"So I'm a human now" She asked confusingly.
"Wether if you have wings or not you are still an angel" Rukia said.
"What happens if my wings do come back" She said.
"Whatever injuries you had on them when you lost them will come back as scars but if you do get them back then you won't be called a Fallen Angel anymore You will be called a Guardian Angel but so far no angel alive now has ever regained their wings...All but one...She is the Grandaughter of the Head angel's adviser but no one knows her name but Kuiske and even he won't tell us who she is" Rukia exclaimed.
"Come on enaugh talking LET'S DANCE GUYS" Orihime said as she Ran out to the dance floor and started dancing. Uryu fallowed soon after.
"Orihime's right this is a time to take a break from fighting hollows" Rukia said as she grabed Ichigo hand and also ran out to to dance floor.
Shiki looked at them and laughed as she saw how funny Rukia was dancing.
"Your mom wants us to have a good time here and not to mourn her death too much" Chad said.
"I know it's just that sometimes I can't help but cry" She said.
"Don't worry I already told Ichigo about it and he said that he would do a Konso on her that way we won't have to worry about her too much" He said.
"Thanks Tora you're the best" She said as she hugged him tightly.
He looked down at her and smiled then hugged her back.
"Alright this is for all you couples out there we're gonna slow it down a bit for ya" Said the DJ as he started to play a slow song.
Uryu and Orihime, Rukia and Ichigo, Michiru and Keigo, and Tatsuki and Mizuiro stayed on the floor along with some other schoolmates who were couples.
He looked at her and smiled. "May I have this dance" He said as he held out his hand for hers.
She looked up at him and smiled then gently grabed his hand with her own. "Yes you may...But we aren't a couple we're just friends" She said. 'Not yet at least' she thought.
"Maybe but that's not stoping Ichigo and the others is it" he said as they walked out to the dance floor.
"I guess not" She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he put his arms on her weist as they began to dance.
"Well look who finally decided to show up on the floor" Ichigo teased as he looked at Chad and Shiki.
"Shut up Ichigo" Shiki said.
An hour after they had arrived at the dance Everyone was having a good time untill everyone (((With HIGH spiritual pressures that is))) heard not one but two Hollow cries. One cry came from the East the other came from the West. Uryu and Chad told Ichigo that they would handle them and let him have a day off of Soul Reaping so Chad went east and Uryu went west. Just before both of them left the school orihime and Shiki stoped them.
"let us come with you" Orihime said.
"We can't allow that we don't want you to get hurt" Uryu said.
"you may not want us to go but we can help you defete the hollows" Orihime said.
"Tsubaki isn't strong enaugh to defete a hollow" Uryu said.
"That's why I can do a sneak attack behind the hollow so that way it won't know that he's coming plus if you get hurt or need protection then I can help with that" Orihime said.
"I can't risk you getting hurt Orihime" Uryu said.
"I don't care if I get hurt Uryu so let us come with you" Orihime said.
"Uryu's right Orihime We can't risk getting you girls hurt so it's best you two stay here" Chad said.
"Fine we'll stay...But don't you DARE die on us...especually you Tora...I don't want to loose you too...I can't afford to loose you too...Aside from Maria, Jesus, and Alejandra you're a part of the family as well...That's why momma told you to call her mom or mother from now on When we were at the Hospital talking to her" Shiki said.
"What happen to your mom" Orihime asked.
"Now's not the time to ask that Orihime" Chad said.
"Sorry" She said.
"I'll be alright 'Angel' Don't worry about me" He said as he and Uryu smiled at them then gave them a quick peck on the lips without realizing it. "I promise to come back to you as soon as I can 'My Angel'" He wispered in her ear then ran off again.
The girls touched their lips as they blushed. Once when the boys were far enaugh away from them Shiki turned to Orihime. "We'll fallow them without them knowing as we hide our spiritual pressure as best as we can and hide somewhere giving them ten to maybe twenty minutes alone to fight the hollows then if feel like they're loosing we'll come out and save them and fight alongside them" Shiki said.
Orihime Agreed and walked out of the school Shiki going East and Orihime going west both of them hiding their spiritual pressure so that the boys won't know that they were fallowing.
Once when Orihime found Uryu she hid in some bushes. When she was in the bushes she made them russle a little which made Uryu glance over his sholder for a breaf second then looked back at the hollow and shot another arrow at it but the hollow dodged and fired another attack. She looked closely at him and noticed that the left lens of his glasses were cracked which made his aim off by a few centimeters.
After about and hour or two of Fighting the hollow Uryu began to feel weak. He faught the hollow till his fingers bled. 'I have to end this quick before I loose my powers again' Uryu thought as he shot another arrow at the hollow.
The hollow once again dodged Uryu's attack and fired one of his own. "You can't defete me Quincy You can't even aim right" The Hollow laughed.
'he's right with my glasses cracked I can't aim as good as I'm suposed to' He thought as he accidently let his guard down. When he let his guard down the hollow punched him into the wall of a nearby building.
Orihime covered her mouth with her hands as her eyes widened and gasped silently. Shuno's hairpeice glew and she formed infront of Orihime. Uryu looked over when he saw shuno's hairpeice glow but wasn't sure if it was Orihime or not because she was on his left side where his cracked lens were.
"Orihime We have to help him" Shuno said quietly.
"I know I know and we will just hold on Lemme think of a plan or something" She wispered.
"I have a plan for you why don't you fire me into the hollow's back while he isn't looking" Tsubaki said as he appeared becide Shuno.
"I'm not sure of that would work I don't want you getting hurt again plus what if he sences you coming" Orihime said.
"Well we have to do something or else you're future boyfriend is gonna get creamed" Shuno said.
"Alright we'll try your way Tsubaki but I dunno if it will work" She said. Shuno disapeared and formed back into her hairpeice. She renounced his Kotudama. "I reject" she said as Tsubaki charged into the hollow's back Without Uryu noticing.
The Hollow was destroyed once when Tsubaki went inside its stumich. Uryu looked to see a blurred version of Orihime running tward him but he soon feinted from loss of blood and exaustion. A few hours later He wakes up in sees that he's no longer outside but inside an abandoned hideout of some sort. He notices that he's in Orihime's Soten Kisshun. He looks at her and notices that she is looking down at him but then he noticed something that he has never seen her do before...She was crying...She was crying...for him. He noticed that she had been crying for him the whole time he had been uncountious on the count of her bloodshot eyes. Once when he was completely healed and the barrier disappeared, he sat up, but when he did she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly as she cried in his sholder. He stared in shock but then he looked at her and smiled as he hugged her back.
"I was so worried about you Uryu...I was afraid that you wouldn't come back to school" She cried as she continued to hug him tightly.
'She was worried...about me' He thought. "You didn't have to worry Orihime I was just fine I was beating the hollow to a bloody pul-" He begain to say.
"You weren't fine...I saw you getting beat by the Hollow You were at the point where you're fingers were bleeding And if you didn't stop then you could've lost your quincy powers again...And I couldn't bare to see you loose them again...So I had to use Tsubaki to help you defete the hollow" She said.
He gently pulled her away from him but still held her close. "So you were the one that I saw running tward me just before I passed out" He said.
She looked up at him and noded her head yes. He looked at her and smiled then gently moved her hair behind her ears then touched her cheeck. She gently grabed his hand that was touching her cheeck as her crying began to ceace. "We shold get back to the dance I'm sure Chad and Shiki are already back there" She said as she tried to stand up but he pulled her back down.
"They can wait I can see that you still need some time to calm down" He said as he hugged her. when he broke the hug he looked at her again. "And what do you mean by 'Chad AND Shiki'" He asked.
"It was her idea to fallow you two and to help you guys out when you needed it and I agreed to it" She said.
"But you know you could've been serisouly hurt if Tsubaki wasn't able to defete the hollow...And I wouldn't want to see you hurt" he said as he began to blush.
She looked at him. "But I have Hinagiku, Baigon, and Lilly to protect me" She said.
"I know that but I still don't want to see you hurt...Ever" He said as he blushed a little more. He looked at her and noticed that they were only mere centimeters apart.
She looked at him then smiled then closed the small gap between them as she kissed his lips gently.
His eyes widened as she kissed him. He felt his muscles tence up but then began to relax as he closed his eyes and kissed her back deepening the kiss. He wraped his arms around her weist as she wraped her arms around his neck.
When they broke the kiss he looked deep into her eyes. "But I thought it was Ichigo that you liked" He said.
"It used to be but about four months ago I realized that it wasn't him that I liked...it was you...then about a month ago I realized that I didn't like you...but loved you...I love you Uryu Ishida" She said.
He looked at her with his eyes widened but then he smiled and hugged her tightly. "I love you too Orihime Inoue" He said just before he kissed her once more.
An hour had past since Uryu and Chad left to fight the hollows Uryu and Orihime went back to the dance. But when nthey got there They noticed that Ichigo, Keigo, and some of the other kids weren't acting themselves. "What happened to them" Orihime asked.
"Someone must've spiked the punch with Vodka or booz or something without the teacher's noticing" Mizuiro said.
"But who could've done that" Uryu asked.
"Who knows" Mizuiro said.
"What are they doing" Orihime asked as he looked at the two drunken boys.
"Uhhhhh Something girls shouldn't see till they marry a guy" Uryu said as he covered Orihime's eyes as all the other boys who had dranked the punch laughed their heads off.
"Looks like these two had too much of the punch They must've really like it" Mizuiro said as he covered his eyes.
Just then the other drunken boys were starting to join Ichigo and Keigo in their little "dance".
"I'm glad Chad isn't here to see this" Uryu said.
"Where are the chaparones when you need them most" Mizuiro said.
"I don't get it what are they doing" Orihime sais as she tried to remove Uryu's hand from her eyes.
"Like I said something that you girls shouldn't see on a guy" he said as he turned her around and hugged her tightly as he hid her face in his chest but still allowed her to breath.
"It's about time you two got chummy" Mizuiro said.
"What do you mean by 'about time'" Uryu asked.
"I mean everyone knew that you two liked eachother even Ichigo and Chad knows...Oh look there are the chaparones" Mizuiro said as he saw the teachers braking up the drunk party.
"ALRIGHT WHO SPIKED THE PUNCH ALRIGHT WHICH ONE OF YOU BOYS DID IT" Said the Gym Teacher as he smlled the punch.
"But sensei how would you know that it was a guy I mean maybe it could've been a girl" Said a young man.
"I know it's a guy beacuse only guys would spike itv with a type of vodka called 'Patron' in something like this" Said the gym teacher. He walked around the room untill he stoped at a chunky man a few feet away from the young man. "WAS IT YOU"
"No SIR" The chunky man said firmly but loudly.
He walked around the room till he stoped infront of Mizuiro and Uryu. "WAS IT YOU TWO"
"No sir" Uryu and Mizuiro said at the same time.
He walked over to an even Taller man about five feet six inches tall. "WAS IT YOU"
"No sir" He said. The teacher looked into his eyes.
"I know how devious you are Pruenskie and I've caught you sneeking around smoking cigarettes behind the school at night a dozen times so it HAS to be you" He said.
"It wasn't me Sensei honest" He said as he hid a small smile when the teacher wasn't looking.
"Yeah yeah tell that to the principle you're coming with me" The teacher said as he grabbed the man's arm and dragged him out of the room. A few seconds later another teacher came in with a whole new bowl of punch this time not spiked and set it where the other one was and the dance began again.
"I wonder what's gonna happen to Ichigo and Mr. Asano and those other poor men who got drunk form the spiked punch" Mizuiro said in wonder.
"I wonder why the girls didn't drink any of it" Uryu said.
"Maybe we girls have a really strong sence of smell like an animal's and new that the punch was spiked and therefore never dranked any of it to get drunk in the first place" Orihime said.
Uryu laughed and hugged her. "I love your wild imagination Hime" He said as he hugged her.
She looked at him and smiled cutely. Just then out of the corner of her eye she saw a tall woman coming into the room with a taller man leaning aguinced her both were injured.
