By the time it got to be noon Chad and Angel went out shopping. Angel was still trying to figure out who the man was that was in her dream that played the song. "Still thinking about it huh" Chad asked as he looked at her. "Huh what.....oh.....yeah.......can't seem to get it outta my mind now that it's stuck in my head it's like it's engraved in it or something y'know" She said as she looked at him. He smiled at her. "Oh my god you're actually smiling in public......you're getting better at showing your emotions around others I'd say that's an improvement" She said as she giggled. "Come on we've got ALOT of stuff to pick up at the store like food, cleaning suplies, things to drink, and Coffee mix for you................ I made a list of all the things we need right here on this peice of paper" She said as she handed him the shopping list. "And don't worry on how we're gonna pay for it I've got it under controle" She said. When they finally came back home with their loads of groceries they put them all away then once when that was done they sat down to rest. "Wow that was alot of work....thanks for the help Tora I needed it" She said. "You didn't have to do that you know" He said. "Yes I did your whole entire kitchen was mostly all bare and we only baught things to last us a few weeks......plus since I'm gonna be staying here with you for awhile I have to help out around the appartment like with the cleaning and cooking and things a woman does around the house..........I mean I don't want to be a Moocher like Renji............think of me as a house keeper or a maid" She said. He laughed. "So that's why you said you have to...........To me your not a moocher and I won't think of you as a house keeper or a maid Ever" He said as he calmed down to a chuckle. he gently grabed her hands. "So don't dare think of yourself as any of those got it" He said gently. "I got it Tora" She said as she looked into his eyes and smiled. "Good........Come on let's finish putting these things away" He said as he got up and started putting the boxed foods away. After when they finished putting the rest of the food and cleaning suplies away they walked back to his room. but when they walked in they saw Angel's bed accross from Chad's as she saw a small box on her bed and becide the end of her bed was a keyboard sitting on its stand. She walked over to her bed and picked up the package but a note was lying underneath it so she set down the package and picked up the note. It was from her sister Maria. She opened it up and began to read it aloud. "'Dear little sister. I baught you this keyboard so that way your piano playing won't get rusty but this box has your piano in it so don't open it untill-'........... AW MAN Maria" She began to read untill she came accross a sentance she didn't want to finish aloud. "What's wrong" He asked as he saw her blushing but hiding her face with her bangs. She handed him the letter. he began to read it silently to himself. "'Don't open it untill you and Chad find yourselves a nice house in town when you're older and possibly married You two make such a cute couple that I know that you two will get married someday'..........married" he thought as he read the letter to himself. He started to blush. "Why did she have to go and say words like that" She said as she blushed a little more. when his blush faded he looked at her. "Maybe she already knows that we're together" He said. "Nah she's been saying things like this since way before we got together" She replied. He smiled then wrapped his arms atound her waist and hugged her. "Someday......if I asked you to marry me.........Would you say yes" he whispered in her ear. She blushed madly then looked down and smiled. "Of corse I would.......I'm YOUR guardian angel remember and you are my master" She said. He sighed. "I'm not your master..............I'm something better then a master" He said as he looked at her. "oops I'm sorry I ment King" She said. they both laughed. "Something like that...........but I'm also your boyfriend and don't you dare forget that" he said. "I won't.......and don't YOU ever forget that I'm your girlfriend" She said. He kissed her lips tenderly. "I promise" He said gently.
Two days later it was Monday which ment back to school for everyone.......Well.....almost everyone. Angel came down with the flu the day before So she told Chad to go to school without her but he refused. "I'm not leaving you here alone baby I'm staying here to take care of you" He said. "No.....Go to school I'm fine I've tooken care of myself when I was sick alone at the house before" She replied. He finally gave in after a while. "Fine......but make sure all doors are locked and only leave the bedroom window open a crack for air alright and stay in that bed and get alot of rest got it" He ordered worriedly. "I got it" She replied. "Good.....I gotta go before I'm late.........I'll see you this afternoon alright" He said as he gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Alright" She said as she smiled. "Behave yourself" He said. "I'm your perfect little Angel" She said. He smiled then shut the door. "You are my Angel" he thought to himself as he walked to school. As he was walking he heard Oriheme's voice calling to him. "HEY CHAD WAIT FOR US" She yelled as she ran to catch up to the giant man. "Hey where's Angel" She asked as she looked around. "She's sick in bed with the flu" He replied. "Sick in bed....Dude you shoulda stayed home with her" Said Ichigo from behind him. "I tried but I coudln't get through to her" He said. "She said she could take care of herself" He looked down in sadness and worry. A few hours later they were in their English class. Chad sat at his original assigned seat as always, which was by the window. He looked down fallowing as the teacher read. He looked out the window seeing the freshman playing soccer. "I wonder how Angel's doing back home" He thought as he began to worry about Angel again. Just then he heard the teacher calling out his name. He looked at her. "Mr. Sado Why aren't you fallowing along......This isn't like you" She asked. "Sorry sensei" he said as he looked back down in his book. Orihime looked at him worriedly from the side of her eyes. "He's worried about Angel" She thought. "I guess we'll have to talk to him after class" said Uryu very quietly so that only Orihime could hear him. She looked at him and nodded her head. After class Uryu grabed Ichigo while Orihime grabed Rukia and they all walked over to Chad. "Chad what's wrong.....You're not acting like yourself" Asked Rukia. "That's because he's worried about Angel She's sick in bed and he's been worried about her all day" Said Orihime. "Like I said Chad you shoulda stayed home to take care of her" Said Ichigo. "I tried but she wouldn't let me" He said as he looked at him. "So you still shoulda stayed home with her" He said. "Even if I did she probibly woulda kicked me out telling me to go to school" He replied as he looked down. "We only have three more hours of school left then after school we can all go and see her but for right now let's all go to lunch" Said Rukia. He looked at her then noded his head. "Either that or I could have Ririn and Ururu go Check up on her for you then have Ririn stay with her till you go home" Said a familier voice from behind them. They turned around and noticed that it was Kuiske. He waved. "Urahara what are you doing here" Asked Ichigo as he jumped when he saw him. "I came to drop off something for Rukia It's the 'Special' Soul Candy you Ordered" He said as he gave her something small but long wraped up in cloth. She unwraped the cloth and saw a Bunny's head. "I tried ordering this one last time but they were all out so I had to buy the duck" She said. "WHAT not MORE Soul Candy" Said Ichigo. "Quit your wining.....Ever noticed that the Soul Candies are digested when your soul goes back into your body and I figured you're almost out so I ordered some more for you so be thankful" She said. He looked at her. "I am.....Rukia" He thought to himself. He smiled slightly but hid it from the others. "OK then it's settled I'll have Ririn and Ururu Check up on the Angel then have Ururu report to you on what she's doing See ya after school kitties" He said just before he walked off. Just before Lunch was about to end Ururu walked up behind Ichigo. "Hi everyone" She said which made everyone jump. She sat down between Ichigo and Orihime. "How is she" Chad asked worriedly. "She's sleeping right now Ririn's taking care of her. While I was there I noticed that the medicine bottle was completely black so we changed her bandages for you. You must've forgotten to change it this morning. Her fever's gone up so we gave her some flu medicine so the fever can go down at least a little" Ururu explained. "Has she been staying in her bed resting" He asked. "My guess she did but Ririn's got her doubts cause the kitchen looks a lot cleaner then the last time she saw it or so she says so she guesses that while your here she's been doing house work at home" She said. "She's working too hard that's how she got sick in the first place She needs to take a break every now and then" He said. "You guys better get to class before your tartey the sooner school gets out the sooner you guys can see Angel" She said as she got up and walked away. They all walked to their next classes.
When school was over for the day everyone walked to Chad's appartment. "So tell me Chad Why is Angel staying with you again" Asked Ichigo. "You know why Ichigo" He said. "Me and Rukia do but Uryu and Orihime don't" Said Ichigo. "Then why don't you tell them then" He said. "It's best if you did since you were the first one to see her mother since after the insident at her appartment (Reffering to the intruder break in) so why don't YOU tell us Chad" He said. Chad Sighed. "Let's just say something happened at her appartment while her and her sister's family were out.........................................Her mother.......................Was the only one at the appartment at the time....................Someone...................................Broke into her appartment and................................murdered her mother" Chad explaned. Orihime's and Uryu's eyes widened. "OH NO that's Terrible who would do such a thing like that" Asked Orihime. "We're still looking into that................but he was after something that I was sure" he said. "How do you know if the intruder was a he" Asked Uryu. "Cause I saw him with my own eyes..............when Angel and I went inside the door was broken down..............and he was still there.....upstairs......................and that's where she went me unknowing he was up there............she told me to search for her mother..............and when I found her Her body was lying on the floor blood everywhere Soul was standing becide it, her chain of fate had already been severed so there was no way for her to return to her body" He said as he looked down in sadness. "That's terrible why would he do such a thing" Said Orihime. "I don't know but by the look of how the appartment looked he was obviously looking for something................something that belongs to her" He said as he opened the door to his appartment. When he looked around he noticed that the floors, counters, tables, and carpets were clean, floors, counters and tables looked so clean that he could see his own reflection on them. When he looked on the floor in the kitchen he saw Angel curled up like a ball asleep with cleaning suplies all around her. "I told her to stay in that bed of hers" he said as he picked her up bridal style and carried her back into his room abd set her in her bed and pulled the sheets and covers over her gently. "If she's still sick tomarrow you should stay here and take care of her no matter what she says" Said Ichigo. "Ichigo's right Chad Even if she gives you that cute little puppy dog face with that wimper of hers you should try to resist it and stay with her and one of us will come by after school and bring you your homework" Said Orihime. "Speaking of puppy dog faces that's probibly how she convinced him to come to school today right Chad" Asked Rukia. He didn't andwer. He blushed slightly but hid it from the others. "I'll take that as a yes" She said. just then they saw Ririn in her plush form walking in the room holding a cup of tea in her paws. "Welcome home Chad. Hello everyone I braught some tea for Angel but she must still be sleeping" She said as she walked over to them. Chad gently grabed the cup of tea from her. "Thank you Ririn" He said as he set it on the table next to her. "So she plays the Keybored" Asked Orihime. "Piano actually but her sister doesn't want her piano skill to get rusty so she baught her that keybored" He said. "That's nice of her" Said Orihime. "But I think she baught it for another reason" Said Ichigo. "What would that be Ichigo" Rukia asked. "Probibly so that Chad can hear herplay whenever he wants" He said. "Whatever" She said. "No I'm serious I mean Whenver Angel plays it he can hear it all thoughout the house even when he takes a shower" He said. Chad blushed even more at what Ichigo had said. just then he saw Angel cover her head under the covers. He smiled. "I can tell your awake Angel" He said very quietly so that only she could hear him while the others were talking. "Gee how can you tell" She whispered. "You tend to give off more spiritual pressure when your awake rather then when you're alseep" He whispered back. "We'd better get home Chad It's my turn to take out the trash this week and Rukia and I have some homework we've gotta finish Later" Said ichigo as him and Rukia headed out the door after everyone had said their goodbyes to them. "I have to run to the store so I shuld get goin too before it gets dark" Said Orihime as she started heading out the door as well. "I'll go with you Just to make sure you don't get hurt" Said Uryu as he fallowed behind her they said their goodbyes then walked out the door.
"I say they're so goin out" Angel said. He looked at her as she sat up. Just then he saw her out her hand on her forehead. "Does your head hurt" he asked. "A little I shouldnt've gotten up too fast" She said dizzily. He smiled then handed her the cup of tea. "Here......Ririn made this for you" He said. she gently grabed the cup and smiled. "where's she at now" she asked. "Probibly with the others back at Urahara's...........What did you mean by 'They're goin out'" He said. "I mean Uryu likes Orihime and Ichigo Obviously likes Rukia" She said. "But....Doesn't Orihime like Ichigo" He asked. "A little but she's starting to get outta liking him She's actually falling in love with Uryu because she knows that she can't win Ichigo's heart Because Ichigo's heart already belongs to Rukia THEREFORE She's starting to realize that she's starting to fall in love with Uryu" She said. He laughed. "I get it...Don't strain yourself too much....Are you trying to make me more worried about you then I already am" He said as he hugged her. "You don't look that worried" She said. "You shoulda seen me at school All I could think about was wondering how you were feeling.....I got in trubble for the first time by the Sensei because of that" He said. "You getting in trubble because you were worried about me but you NEVER get in trubble" she said as she looked at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. "You didn't have to be so worried about me you knew the whole time that I was alright" He looked down at her then hugged her gently trying not to hurt her wound. "But I had to Angel.............You're my life" He said. Her eyes widened at what he had just said then she smiled and hugged him a little tighter. "And you are mine" She said. He smiled then kissed her forehead. "I'll always worry about you" He said. "But I'm not the only one you should worry about there's also our friends too...........I mean I know they can take care of themselves......Ichigo and Rukia fighting Hollows, Uryu Loosing his Qincey powers like last time........And you fighting arrancars.......That all worries me" She said as she looked up at him. "Angel........Ichigo can handle them.....he's got Rukia by his side........and Uryu's got Orihime by his......Just like I'm always by your side" He said as he smiled. She smiled back then hugged him once more. He hugged her back. He broke the hug and put the back of his palm on her forehead. "Your fever's gone down a little but not enaugh to walk around too much so you should rest untill your fever brakes completely" He said as he laid her down on her bed and tucked her in as he kissed her forehead once more. She looked at him and smiled then turned on her side facing Chad and closed her eyes. "I hope your with me when I wake up" She said. "Don't worry........I will be" He said as he smiled. She smiled without opening her eyes. "Yo amore t mi tigre" She said in spanish. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Yo amore t tambi n mi ngel.......Buenos Noches" He replied. The next morning she woke up. She looked over at Chad. He was sleeping on his back with one eye showing. She smiled. Then she looked over at the bottle as she noticed that it was black again. She got up and walked out of the room. Minutes later she walked back into the room and sat on her bed. "How are you feeling Angel" Chad asked as he sat up in his own bed. She jumped when he heard his voice. "I'm better now I just checked my tempature after I went to the restroom and it was the normal 98.6 my head just hurts a little that's all I can go to school with you today" She said as she looked over at him and smiled. He smiled back. "That's great" He said. "And I already did yesterday's homework............I just hope I have all the answers correctly on it" She said. "Don't worry I'm sure you will..................I could look at it for you" he sugested. "Really that would be great Thanks Tora" She said as she reached into her bag and grabed her homework then handed them to him. He scaned through the pages. When he came accrossed the English assignment he noticed one word was spelled wrong. "This word should have an e instead of an a..........right here" He said as he showed her her mistake. "Oh oops my bad.......Weren't we suposed to write a short story yesterday that's what the sensai said last week" She asked. "That isn't untill today............I suck at writting stories so I wouldn't be good at it" He said. "Don't worry you'll do fine on it if you need any help I'll help you with it.......in my free time I used to write short stories all the time but that was years ago but they were a little kiddish cause I used to make them for Alejandra" She said. He smiled. "You suprise me every day Angel" He said. She smiled as she stucked out her tounge a little. "I'm misterious like that" She said. He smiled a little more then saw her get up. "Well I better go make breakfast while you get dressed and get ready for school" She said as she walked out of the room. After he got dressed in his uniform he walked out of the room noticing the shiny floors. "I've never seen the place look so clean before" He said as he saw his own reflection on the floors and counters. "Hey I wasn't gonna stay in that bed ALL day yesterday was I I mean I had to do something so I decided to do some cleaning" She said as she started turning the bacon then fliped the pancakes doing small tricks with them. "Some.......seems like you cleaned everything in the whole house" He said as he looked around. His eyes widened as he saw her through the pancake in the air infront of her then caught it on the spatula behind her back. She giggled. "If your thinking that I'm a clean freak I'm not...........that's Uryu who's the clean freak Not me" She said as she fliped the pancakes onto a plate. "Breakfast is ready by the way" She said as she put the pancakes on the table then put the butter and hot surip on the table then sturred the rest of the batter in the bowl. Just then she felt his strong but gentle arms wrap around her. "You should know by now that I would never think of you as anything of those sorts so don't say things like that about yourself" He said as he hugged her. She smiled and leaned her head aguinced his chest. "Just go eat your pancakes before they get cold" She said as she poured the rest of the batter into the pan.
After breakfast she fixed their lunch and packed them in seperate containers then they both walked to school sometimes hand in hand when no one was around. "I hope we don't have anouther Chior test today I'm still embarassed from the last one" She said. "Why are you still embarassed" Chad asked. "Because you were there........I'm not much of a singer when it comes to singing infront of audiances becides infront of my chiormates" She said. "Remember what I said earlier" he asked. "Yeah I know 'I should never think about myself as anything of those sorts' I get it sweety" She said. He smiled. Just then he saw her touch her wound with her hand. "Does it hurt" He asked. "It's fine I'm just curious on why it's not healing as fast as they normally do" She replied. "The medicine Urahara gave us should be helping it heal" he said. "I know and it is...........but most of the time the wounds I recieve heal almost within a couple of days...........but this one's lasted more then three" She said. "Hmm.....maybe the wound you have now might be more severe then the others you've revieved in the past therefore it's talking longer to heal" He said. "Maybe but I'm not sure" She said. She looked at him and smiled cutely. "You're just trying to get me to smile with that cute smile of your own aren't you" He teased. 'Well of corse I am...........you need to learn to be happy when around your friends..................You know actually show your emotions around them" She said. "Hey they're your friends too...........Plus Ichigo's already seen me smile once" He said. "Really Since when. "Since you went to the sleepover at Orihime's.....turns out that both of us were worried about you girls being attacked that night........Ichigo was in his soul reapers uniform so he must've snuck over after when his family went to sleep" He said. "don't tell me you've been listening into our conversation.........naughty Tora" She said. "Sorry.....I couldn't help it...........I was worried about you" He said. She looked down then smiled then stoped him in his tracks then kissed his lips. "My big worry wort................Whom I love so dearly" She said smiled. they quickly seporated hands when they heard Ichigo and Rukia calling out their names. "hey Chad What's up taking a morning strole with You Guardian Angel before school this morning" Asked Ichigo. "I would be asking you the same question Ichigo" Said Angel as She saw Rukia Whom she was holding Ichigo's hand without realizing it. "Since when did you guys become a couple" She asked. "I should ask you the same qustion" Said Ichigo as he glared at her then at Chad. "Just think all this just by one of Angel's goals I hear from Rangiku that you're living with him since after your mother died Hope your not doing anything you aren't suposed to" Said Rukia. "can't people just lay off of that queation we aren't doing abything wrong" She said as they blushed madly. "But you know you want to someday" Said Ichigo. They didn't answer "We'll take that as a yes" She said as she laughed. They blushed even more. "Ichigo...........Years ago it used to be forbidden for Angel's to marry a human........but ever since the head Mistress of the Angels died Head Captain Yamamotou Changed that law..........now angels can marry humans.................so long as they are able to protect eachother from harm and that if the ones they love......is also the one an angel is swarn to protect with her life" Said Chad. Rukia and ichigo's eyes widened as their mouths droped. They couldn't believe how many sentances he had just said without hardly any long laughed. "You guys should see your faces right now............You had just witness the result of my trainings" She said. Chad looked at her and smiled. "As you can see he is starting to show more of his Emotions twards others other then just myself" "yeah i've seen him Smile once while he was Listening in to your slumer party but hey he DID fall in love with you so I couldn't blame him" Ichigo said. "Why because you fell in love with someone at the party too" Said Angel. Ichigo Tenced up. "Since when do you know about my love life" he said. "Dreams......sometimes I have dreams about events that did happen though I wasn't there when they happened remember..............And you thought it was just that one time with my father's spiritual pressure" She said. "W-Whatever" He said. "You told Tora that you did infact fall in love with someone at that party but you fell in love with her long before that..................but you THINK that it's forbidden.............For a human to date a Soul Reaper...............You may not know this but there's one girl that was in love with you since before you met this soul reaper I'm speaking of But I dare not say her name for she is standing right becide you........................but that girl is starting to realize now that she cannot win your heart.............because your heart already belongs to that cirtin Soul Reaper..............just like my heart belongs to a tiger" She explained. "Such Detailed words coming from a humanic Angel" Said Uryu from behind her. "But I'll just say this last thing...............The girl is starting to fall in love with someone else..............someone that's smart and good with his hands.......and he is someone within our group" She said. "You're talking about Orihime........Right" Ichigo asked. "AND HE FINALLY GETS IT....After THREE FRICKIN YEARS" She said. Chad laughed. He looked at her and smiled as he hugged her. "I can see why he loves you Angel Cause you're the only one that can make him do things that none of us would ever expect to see him do like laughing, talking more, and smiling more often.............Let's just say that the person that Orihime's starting to fall in love with......is falling in love with her as well" Uryu said as he ajusted his glasses then blushed slightly. "AWWWW I KNEW IT it's like I said to Tora a couple of nights ago 'She likes Ichigo but she's starting to get outta liking him She's actually falling in love with Uryu because she knows that she can't win Ichigo's heart Because Ichigo's heart already belongs to Rukia THEREFORE She's starting to realize that she's starting to fall in love with Uryu'" Rukia, Ichigo and Uryu blushed madly. ".......We'll discuss this later after school right now let's not say anything to orihime about it alright" She said "Got it" All four said at the same time as they all saw Orihime running tward them then they all headed tward the school together.
