The attack hit them with full force creating a dome of smoke. "Are you alright Tora" Shiki asked. He looked at her, eyes widend then noded his head yes as he blushed. She smiled. "That's good" she said as she sighed in relief. "Shiki you.......You have........wings" He said. She looked behind her and noticed that she did infact have white angel wings that had created a dome above them out of its fethers. Her eyes widened as she got up and the winged dome shrunk to beautiful furty-eight inch long white wings. She looked down and noticed that her whole outfit had changed completely. Instead of waring Jenes and a t-shirt she was waring a silky white angelic dress with sparkling gold lacings. Her left sholder was strapless while her right had a silky laced sleeve on the side of her sholder. She looked up and noticed a gold halo above her head, then she looked down and noticed that she had no shoes. "W-What's happoning to me" She said as she started to get a little scared of her new form not knowing that the hollow had attacked her again. She looked at the attack and covered her face with her arms. Just then her wings moved around her and wraped themselves around her shielding her from the attack. the attack hit her wings creating some damage. "SHIKI" Chad yelled. "I'm alright.....These things........protected me" She replied as her wings moved back into their original position. She looked at him and smiled. "Now let's see what I can do with this form" she said as she flew into the air. She grabed her halo and threw it at the hollow. It did do damage but not enaugh. "Tora we need to combine out attacks" she said. He noded his head and a white oura formed around his right arm then threw it at the hollow as Shiki used her halo again. It hit the hollow and it disappeared. Shiki did a backflip. "WE DID IT" She said as she landed on the ground. He looked at her as she cheered. her outfit changed back to normal as her wings and halo disappeared. "We should get home my mom's probibly wondering where I am" She said. "Yeah" He said as he followed her. "that was strange wasn't it......How I have this.....thing...I wonder what it could be" She said. "I know someone that might know something about it maybe we can ask him" Chad said. "Really Who" She asked as she looked at him. "His name's Kisuke Urahara He owns a Candy shop not too far from here" He said. "Well what are we waiting for let's find out about some things about what I am" she said as she grabed his hand trying to pull him tward the other direction. He smirked. "Alright" He said as he started walking again. "Soooo how are you able to sence spiritural pressure" She asked. "I'm not sure exactly.......but I think......that you have to have a strong spiritual pressure yourself in order to sence other pressures. Your spiritual pressure's very strong" He exclaimed. "But not as strong as Ichigo's huh his is termendously strong I've never senced anything like it before even when we were in middle school it was strong............When I met you your pressure was also strong now it's even stronger.............probibly because you fight hollows like that all the time" She said. "You sure know alot for someone who found out that she has special abilities" He said as he smiled. "Hey I just say what pops into my head............but not all the time though" She said as she looked at him smiling widely. He gave her a gentle noogie. She giggled. "I'm actually starting to get through to him....he's becoming more talkative and he's smiling more" She thought to herself.

When they got to Urahara's shop Ururu was sweeping while Jinta was using his broom as a baceball bat. Jinta looked at Chad. "Well if it isn't the big guy Long time no see Chad how's it goin" he said. "Mr. Urahara's in the shop and Tessai's at the store" Ururu said. "We need to talk to Urahara is he available at the moment" Chad asked. "Chad....Long time no see Ah and I see you braught a friend" said Urahara as the sliding door opened sencing Shiki's spiritual pressure. "This girl's spiritual pressure........it feels familier but I've never felt a spiritual pressure like this in seventeen years.......Could she be........." He thought. "please come inside Ururu will you make us some tea please" he said as he guestered them in. "Sure thing" She said as she walked inside and into the kitchen. They sat around the short but big round table in the living room. "You have a lovely shop sir" She said. "I thank you please allow me to introduce myself I am Mr. Kisuke Urahara" He said as he introduced himself. "I'm Shiki it's nice to meet you" She said as she bowed. "Mr. Urahara Do you know anything about living angels" Chad asked. "Why do you want to know that" He asked. "Well......" Shiki began. "Did you feel any spiritual pressure by the river earlier" Chad asked. "Yes I did but it was defeted an hour after it had arrived I figured that Ichigo did something about it" Said Kisuke. "We were the only ones by the river ichigo and Rukia had already went home We saw a hollow there and we faught it but I don't think we killed it" Shiki exclaimed. "Ah so you were the ones that defeted the hollow....A hollow is cleansed not killed meaning it goes to the Soul Seciety but I don't get how a regular human could defete a hollow" Kisuke explained. "That's the thing we came to talk to you about" Chad said. "I don't think I'm human.......At least not a normal human" She said. "Oh and how so" he asked. "When Yasutra was about to be hit by the hollows attack I pushed him down but a pair of wings appeared on my back and surounded us creating a dome" She said as she began to tell the story. When she was finished Kisuke eyes widened slightly. "So that's why I don't think that I'm a normal human Mr. Urahara" She said. "That's because you're not human at all......Your appearance is human but you're actually one of the last remaining Angels on the face of both the World of the Living and the Soul Seciety" He exclaimed. "How would you know that" Chad said. "unlike Quincies Angels help the Soul Reapers cleans souls and hollows and send them to the soul seciety" He said. "But how can I be an Angel I can't be as nice as one" She said. "Angels are like normal humans only with wings and a halo that aren't just halos but also wepons....Tell me Shiki have you ever been called a name other then your own by one of your family members" Asked Kisuke.

"Well.....my neice always calls me Angel or Angela and if she's mad at me she calls me Angeleena and yet I'm not sure why" She said. "Hmmm........that is unusual for someone who doesn't even know anything about the soul reapers or any other races know about a name that hasn't been used in seventeen years" He said. "I don't understand Mr. Urahara......What do you mean by 'hasn't been used'" Chad asked. "A long time ago there used to be alot of angels around both the Soul Seciety and the World of the Living............but seventeen years ago most all of them died.......today only three remain......And you Shiki....are one of them" he said. "Just like Soul Reapers and hollows Did the angels have their own enemy to fight" She asked. "Their used to be grim reapers but they vanished as well....als I know is that today there's only one left and they were on the side of hollows" He explained. "So you guys ceans souls while the Grim Reapers......well Reap them.......or do they bring them to the Soul Seciety" She asked. "That we're still wondering ourselves......And we may never know as long as the last one's still in hiding" he said. "You said that there were only three angels left if Shiki's one of them then who're the other two" Asked Chad. "RIGHT HERE" Said a small voice from behind as it pounced on him. Chad's eyes widened as a little girl pounced on his back "This is Rosaleena....Rosa for short" Said Kisuke. "Rosaleena.......She looks so......familier" Said Shiki. "I SHOULD I'M YOUR TWIN SISTER" She said as she then pounced on her. "My twin....but you're like what seven" She said. "She's right she is your twin sister but when both of you were born she was still three months under developed so she had to be in a type of Inkibator that doesn't kill her but takes a long long time to allow her to grow and fully develop......like Sleeping for ten years" He said. "Like being in a coma" Chad asked. "Exactly" Said Kisuke. "but I don't understand how can I have a twin sister that's ten years younger then I am that's impossible" Shiki said. "Notice that she looks axactly like you when you were her age" Kisuke asked. Shiki looked closely at Rosa's face then her eyes widened. "she really does look like me" She said. "Why does everyone Call you Shiki Almost every Soul reaper knows that your real name's Angeleena" Rosa asked. "my name isn't Angeleena that's just a name my Neice calls me when she's mad at me" Shiki said. "but rukia gets this strong but strange and familier feeling from you whenever she's around you" She said. "How do you know Rukia" Shiki asked. "I know all your friends I know Yasutra Nicknamed chad who's sitting right next to you, Oriheme, Ichigo, Uryu, and Rukia and Sophie" Rosa said. "no wander everyone senced a strong but familier spiritual pressure it was you who was fallowing us" said Shiki as she gave her a gentle noogie as punishment. She giggled.

"See you two are acting like sisters already" Said Kisuke. Chad smiled at them. Rosa looked at him then pounced on him again. "hey you actually manage to make him smile for once when did you do that" she asked as Kisuke looked at him as well. "Now that you mention it I've never seen you smile before Chad.......not once since I've met you" he said. "Well.........I'm not really sure how I made him laugh but I did use one of my props for when I was in a drama class freshman year.............plus he has been alot more communicative whenever he's only around me I mean when I'm around when he's with the others he's his normal self but whenever I'm only with him he talks to me as much as I'm talking to you now" Shiki said as she glanced at him. "Some people can never truely let go of the past but someone they hold pretious to them can help them forget about it untill they want to remember it again" Rosa said. "What do you mean Rosa" Asked Kisuke. "Isn't that why he's so quiet plus the facts that he covers his eyes and is always so sad and serious" She said. "Maybe so but any one of our friend can help him forget about his past if he just lets them I mean all of us are pretious to him.......Right Yasutora" She said as she looked at him. he noded his head yes as he smiled a little. "Ture but someday there's going to be someone in his life that'll be more pretious to him then his friends but no matter who comes into his life all his friends are still pretious to him no matter what....I can see that in his eyes already" She said. "Alright that's enaugh outta you it's getting late and you should get to bed Rosa" said Kisuke as he gently puched her tward her room. "Oh alright.....night sissy night Mr. Sado" She said as she headed into her room. "Goodnight rosa" They both said at the same time. They looked at eachother. "You two should go as well I have a feeling that someone's gonna be looking for you Shiki so it's best you be safe in your appartments" said Kisuke. "Alright see you soon Mr. Urahara and thank you for your time" Said Shiki as she bowed to him as Chad did the same. "Please Call me Kisuke.....Here take this book it'll help you find out more about your race" He said. "Alright thank you Kisuke see you soon it was a pleasure to meet you and the others" She said as her and Chad walked tward their appartments.

As they were walking home Shiki began to read the book. She turned to a page about loosing baby teeth. "Hmm.....this is interesting" She said to herself. "What is" He asked. "it's nothing just this page about a Tooth Angel or something or other" She said as she showed him the page. "It says here that 'When a young angel looses his/her first baby tooth they are to put it under their pillow just like humans do then while they're sleeping the tooth angel comes and takes the tooth and gives them a gold coin and a note. The note will say that if they keep all nineteen coins then the last baby tooth that they loose she'll give them something special'...............that's strange......When I lost my baby tooth.....I got a gold coin and a note...and when I lost my last baby tooth I got this necklace" she said as she read the page then looked down at her necklace chain. "that is strange.....She sounds like a tooth fairy only for angels" he said as she turned to the next chapter. "Laws of the Angels" She said as she read the chapter's title. "Angels had laws to fallow......hmmmm" She said as she scaned the chapter. She found the passage she was looking for and began to read it. ".............WHAT......." She said as her eyes widened. "What's wrong" he said. "It's nothing" She said. "it says here that 'Angels can only marry either other angels or soul reapers but angels will never be allowed to marry a human. If one should brake this law......death shall be put apon both the human and the angel' that's just wrong" She thought as she reread the passage. Then she saw a picture of the man who made the rules Chad looked at the picture then his eyes widened. "That's....." He stampered. "That's what" She asked as she looked at him. "that's the head Captin of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads........Captin Yamamoto" He said as his eyes widened. "it says here that 'the head captin Yamamoto and one other were the ones who creating these laws for the angels and if they brake a law......serious punishment will be laid opon them. Punishment could be execution if nessessary'........that's just wrong" She said. Chad's eyes widened. "I guess I'll just have to memorize and fallow them then" She said as she looked down in sadness. just then she felt his hand on her head. She looked up at him and smiled. "But there will be one that I will never fallow in the furture no matter what the punishment is" She said as she smiled at him. "What would that one be" He asked. "I'm not telling....It's a secret" She said as she winked at him which made him blush slightly. "but I will tell you this.......'You never know what the future will hold" She said as she continued to read the book. He looked at her and smiled then gave her a gentle noogie. She smiled but then looked down in sadness again "Now that we know what I am I just hope that this doesn't ruin our friendship" She said sadly. he looked at her with wide eyes then he stoped infront of her and bint down till he was eye level to hers. "...Ichigo, Rukia, And Renji are Soul Reapers....Uryu's a Quincie, and Oriheme's a Human like me....but with a different kind of power.....But they're all our friends.....It won't ruin our friendship just because you're not human like you've always thought you were.....it'll only make our friendship stronger" He said.

She looked at him. "What do you mean" She asked. "Friendship is a bond that you have with people you care about.....No matter who or what the friends are that bond will still grow even if you've been apart from them for so long" he exclaimed. "......Ohhhhh I get it now it doesn't matter wether your a human or an angel you'll still be friends no matter what right.........it's like with Me and Sophie She's been away from me for ten years and then on the first day of school she came back......Then it's also like you and me I'm an Angel and your a human with special powers...right" She said as she looked at him. he stared at her for a minute then he smiled and noded his head. "Right" he said gently as he smiled. She smiled and gently hugged him. His eyes widened as he blushed with confusion but happiness then he smiled and hugged her back. "No matter what happens let's all be friends forever got it" She said. "Got it" he replied. "Pinky Promise on it" She said as she held out her left pinky. "Promise" He said as he smiled and intertwined his left pinky with hers. just then they felt a small shot between the two pinkies as they let go. "What was that" He asked. "I'm not sure.............We should get home it's getting late plus my mom and my sister are probibly worried sick about me" She said. "Alrght" he said as he got up and they started walking again. When they got back to their appartments it was already almost eleven at night. Both of them took their showers and gotten ready for bed. Now they were on their beds starring at eachother as if they were having a starring contest. "Come on Mr. Grumpy lighten up you were so good about it earlier why are you so gloomy now" She asked as she laid her head down on the window seal. He looked at her and smiled. "It's nothing" He said. "Are you suuuuuure cause it don't look it.....Come on tell me what's wrong........don't tell me....you're thinking about your past aren't you......like I said 'Stop thinking about the past and start thinking about the future ahead' Y'know" she exclaimed. "it's just that......Those rules that you have to fallow......The punishments for them....I mean....What if you brake a law without knowing it" He said as he looked at her worriedly but hid his eyes. "You were thinking about what I said earlier weren't you" She said. He noded his head. "Don't worry about it no one knows if it'll come true or not we'll just have to wait and see" She said. "What law are you thinking on braking......in the future that is" He asked. "She looked at him then sat up and looked off to the side. "Still not telling.........but you will find out later on" She said. he looked at her then smile. "alright....if you don't want to tell me then don't" He said as he smiled. She smiled back but blushed ever so slightly. "I don't get it why is it that you always talk so much whenever you're ONLY around me and when you and I are around the others you act like your original, quiet, and somewhat depressed self......What's up with you these days" she said as she crossed her arms. "I don't....really get it either......it's weird though.....That whenever I'm onlyaround you I'm able to let out some of my sadness............and turn it into happiness" He said.

She looked at him blushing a little more then smiled. "I'm glad I can be of some help to you" she said. He smiled but when he saw her blushing he chuckled softly. "What's so funny" She said. "Your face looks as pink as a glass of strawberry milk" He said as he continued to chuckle softly. She blushed even more then looked away. "So. What's so wrong about blushing huh" She asked as she turned around back tward him as she blushed even more. "Nothing It's just...........I think it's cute when you blush" He said. She glared at him but not in a mean way. "Sure you think it's cute you DO have a weakness for 'Cute Things' correct" She said sarcasticly. "I do......normally I don't like showing that I do but.....well....you know" He said. "know what" She asked. he chuckled. "Come on I already told you" He said. She smiled "I know sometimes I just like to hear things again after awhile" She replied. "Whenever I'm only around you I'm able to let out some of my sadness......And turn them into happiness" He repeated. She smiled. "And yet but Why ONLY me though" She asked. "I dunno......I just feel......more comfortible expressing things to you then around the others" He said as he looked at her. "Alright I get it......sort of" She replied. He smiled. "Let's not.....Tell the others about what I said alright" He asked. "Sure but....why" She said. "Cause who knows what kind of things will pop into their minds if we do" He replied as he blushed ever so slightly. "I promise I won't tell anyone" She said. "Aunt Angela Mommy told me to give you this She told me to tell you to ware it when you go to the festival" Said Alejandra as she walked in with a blue and gold kimono with red roses and silver heart shaped designs all over it folded up neatly. She gently grabed it out of Alejandra's hands. "Tell her I said think you and that I will alright......Shouldn't you be in bed by now" She asked as she looked at her. "Mommy said that I can stay up for a little while longer and hang out with you and your boyfriend" She said. Shiki and Chad both blushed madly. "L-Look He's not my Boyfriend we're just really good friends....R-right Tora" She said. "R-right" He replied. "Look why do you always call me Angela, Angel, or Angeleena that's NOT my name it's Shiki remember" She said. "You're his Angel aren't you" She said. They blushed even more. "No I'm not.....Get out and go to bed it's already nine thirty ya little runt you're four right so four year olds need to get their sleep or else they're be really cranky in the morning no OUT" She said as she set the Kimono on her bed then gently puched Alejandra out of the room then shut it behind her.

"The little runt sometimes I get the feeling that she knows something I don't but is trying to give me clues on what she knows" She said. "What do you think she's trying to tell you" He asked. "Who knows...........She always calls me Angel or something like that...........maybe she knows what I really am" She said. "She couldnt've she's only four she wouldn't know anything about the angels at all" He said as he revieled one of his eyes. "I know.....And that's what's scaring me about it.......Wait a minute Remember what Kisuke said.......that there are 'three' angels left two of them being me and Rose...............if me and Rose are two of the three then maybe.........Alejandra may be the third one" She said. "But remember what else he said that all but three angels died seventeen years ago and Alejandra's only four so it couldn't be her" He said. "Your right it couldn't be her she wasn't even born then....but if it's not Alejandra then who else could be the third angel" Shiki said. "That's something we'll have to find out over time" He said. "You're right on that Tora..........but if it was seventeen years ago that all but three angels died then why is Rose still seventeen when she would be the exact same age as me" She said. "Her development took longer then the people who were taking care of her thought and it wasn't untill seven years ago untill she was fully developed and to see the true world that lied ahead for her" He said. "But it's impossible to be in an enkibator for ten years even though she was only three months under developed" She said. "Maybe Angels develop alot slower then humans" He said. "Then How was I able to be fully developed after nine months and my sister was under developed by three" She said as she accidently raised her voice at him a little. Her eyes widened on what she had just done. She looked off to the side as she closed her eyes trying not to cry. "I'm not sure.......That's something we'll have to find out from your sister" He said. He looked at her and noticed that she was trying not to cry. He smiled. "If you're mad at yourself for yelling a little don't be.......I know you didn't mean to" He said. She looked at him her tears building up in her eyes. "I'm sorry Tora" She said as she burried her face behind her hair. Then she felt a finger under her eyes, wiping the tears away. She looked up and noticed that Chad was somehow sitting on her window seal right becide her. "H-How did you get over here we're on the second floor and our windows are six feet away from eachothers" She said as she cried. "I jumped......it's alright...Don't cry" He simply said as he smiled and put his hand on her head. She looked at him then quietly and gently hugged him. "I'm so sorry Tora" She said. He wraped an arm around her and hugged her back. "Come on Angel....please don't cry.....I know that you didn't mean to yell.....I should be the one to say sorry...I shouldnt've started that whole conversation about your sister" he said. "It's alright" She said as she looked at him which they were almost at eye level. He smiled and tightened his hold on her gently hugging her a little tighter. she did the same. "We should get some sleep we've got a big day tomarrow" He said as he released his grip on her. She looked at him and smile. "And I've got a goal for tomarrow" she said. "What's that" he asked. "To try and get you to smile and laugh infront of the others at LEAST once" She said. He chuckled and stroked her hair. "Try as hard as you might but you shall never get me to smile or laugh infront of Ichigo and the others" He said. She smiled at him. "I will no matter what it takes I will get you to smile and laugh infront of Ichigo and the others just you wait Tora" She said as she hugged him once more. "Good night Tora....Sweet dreams......alright" She said. he smiled and hugged her back. "Same to you......Angel" He said as he jumped back over to his window. "Man I just can't get used to my real name I'm so used to everyone calling me Shiki Y'know" She said as she laid down on her bed. he smiled once more. "Go to sleep You need your rest" He said. "Oh alright Night Tora" She said. "good night Angel" he said as they both shut their windows and went to sleep.
