After a while of being at Urahara's and telling everyone there what had happened Sophie finally found them. "I've found you ya bastard" She said as she looked at Noba. he got infront of Ririn. "Remember what I said earlier Rin" He said. "I remember.........Be careful alright" She said. "I promise I'll be careful and come back to you safe and sound alright" He said as he looked at her and smiled under his mask. When Tessai, Urahara, Jinta, and Ururu were destracting her Noba looked at her and liped the worlds "Go now" to her. She looked at him worriedly then noded her head and ran out the door quietly not making a sound. She ran and ran and ran till she couldn't run no more. She had finally reached Angel's and Chad's appartment. Only them, Ichigo and Rukia were still on the roof. "Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Angel" She said as she jumped onto the roof panting. "Ririn what's wrong" Angel asked. "it's Sophie.....Her darker half....has taken over her......and she's attacking......Noba and the others.........At the shop" She said as she panted. Angel's eyes widened. As did Chad's. "So she decided to make the first move Did she well we'll just have to see if we can win this match" Said Ichigo. Chad looked at Angel as she Looked at Ririn but with worry in his eyes. "Hey Chad.....You should keep Angel safe here we'll deal with Sophie at Urahara's Ririn you stay here We'll probibly send Noba here in a little while" Ichigo said as he looked at him. Chad looked back at Ichigo then Noded his head. "be carefull you two" Said Angel. "Don't worry about us we'll be just fine" Said Rukia just before she ran off into the night with Ichigo Close behind her. On their way there they saw noba jumping on the roofs heding tward them. "What's the News Noba" Said Ichigo. "She managed to knock out Renji and Tessai Urahara, Jinta, and Ururu are still fighting Urahara told me to find Ririn and stay with her so I barely managed to escape without her notcing" He replied. "Ririn's back at Angel's and chad's You two might want to change into your other forms when you get there" He said. He noded his head then ran past them heading tward Chad and Angel's Appartment. When he got there they weren't on the roof but he saw Ririn in her plush form sitting on the roof. "Shouldn't you be inside" he said as he walked up to her. She turned around seeing him then Jumped into his arms. "Noba you've come back" She said as she hugged him. "I told you I'd come find you" He said as he smiled under his mask. "Come on let's go inside" He put her on his back then jumped into the appartment. He saw his Plush form in Ririn's Gigai's arms. He smiled and looked at her. "just as I thought you were worried about me again weren't you" He said as he sat down next to her Gigai. "Of corse I was worried about you I can be worried about you whenever I want" She said. He smiled a little more. "Ririn....think you can help me get into my other form" he asked. She looked at him and noded her head. After she trancferd Noba's pill into his plush form he looked at her then got up out of her Gigai's arms then grabed her paw as they walked out of the room. When they walked out of the room they saw Angel making a late night snack for Chad and them. She looked at them. "Welcome back Noba How's that arm of yours" She asked. "Good as new thank you" He said. "Uryu told me that he changed your stuffing to like some sort of fire proof type.....Same as Kon's I think...Oh and what do you think of your new outfits" She asked. "They're..............great" He said as he looked down at Ririn's new dress. "I'm making apples and pears if anyone once some I know Tora does I heard his stumich growl all the way in here a little while ago" Angel said as she looked into the livingroom. "I know I heard it all the way up on the roof but that's what he gets for not eating lunch every day" Said Ririn as she laughed which made Chad blush. Angel laughed along with her then Noba laughed. "Kurodo's right....he is like me in a way" Said Chad as he walked into the kitchen. "But Ririn is also like you in a way as well...........and that is by showing those you love......teaching them the meaning of showing their emotions to others instead of keeping it to themselves only in different methods" He wrapped his arm around her giving her a gentle noogie. She giggled. "True she is like me" She said. He hugged her. "But how can I be like Angel and Noba like Chad" Ririn asked. Noba smiled. "He just told us why Rin" He said. "You guys look so cute together" Angel said. Ririn blushed a little as Noba looked at her and smiled. He gently grabed her paw with his. she looked at him then hugged him tightly as he hugged her back. Angel smiled then she felt Chad kiss her on the forehead. "I told ya she was like you" He said as he wraped his arms around her waist. she wraped her arms around his neck and kissed him tenderly. "Hmm...Ever wondered why Angel looks about as tall as Chad, but compared to Ichigo she's just a few inches shorter then him" Noba said quietly to Ririn. "yeah..............But their happy together and I don't think anything would seperate them even if it tried" She said as she laid her head on his chest. "Just like nothing can ever seperate us" She said.
Just then they senced something then all of a sudden a giant blast came from the window next to them. Angel quickly grabed noba and Ririn while Chad still held onto Angel and protected her from the blast. Some of the glass peices cut his back open as some of them flew by but he still protected them Showing no sign of pain. "I've finally found you Shiki....................Or shall I say Angel" Sophie's voice was heard behind them. Chad turned around to see sophie with her darker half posessing her. Her eyes as narrow as a cat's. She had black and hot pink colored wings on her back. but they didn't look like angel wings. Instead they looked like they were demon wings. Angel looked closely at Chad's back as it bled still seeing the peices of glass inside his skin. She looked at them worriedly. He looked at Sophie angerly then his Arms transformed into his El Diablo and Gigante. "I've heard about you from Ichigo Your Chad the one that has the defence ability with your right arm and offence with your left............but your power is that of a hollows.......So you should work for me instead of protecting what is to be the hollows and grim reapers number one enemy" she said trying to get him to betray Angel and their friends. "I will never join your side Sophie I will protect Angel for as long as I live" he said. Angel looked at him with even more worry but then changed into her angel form. "Tora.....let's fight her together.......let's all fight her together" She said as she looked at Chad then at Ririn and Noba. They looked at her then Noba and Ririn Quickly ran into the bedroom closet where their Gigais were and got inside them. Chad looked at her worriedly. "Don't worry big guy I'll be fine I can take care of myself" She said. "I hope you're right Angel" He said. When Noba and Ririn came out finally in their Gigai's the fight had already begun. Angel used her halo on Sophie but she dodged it and attacked Angel. Chad got infront of Angel using his Gigante to protect himself letting it take the blow. "You alright Tora" She asked. "I'm alright Don't worry about me" he said as he used his Gigante to attack Sophie. he landed one blow on her but when he tried to punch her with El Diablo she grabed it stopping his attack then she punched him in the stumich but he showed no pain then he punched her again with Gigante. Angel came in using her halo once more throwing it tward Sophie's chest. It knocked Sophie out.........For a while. She got up again but this time her eyes weren't like a cat's anymore. "Angel.......Run.......I don't want my Evil half to kill you......she's wanting to kill you because you are her enemy but I try to keep her away from you as far as I can.......but....Well see what she's done to you and Chad" She struggled to say. "Sophie......You kept her back for as long as possible untill she finally overpowered you.......but I'll get rid of her for you.........I dunno how yet.....but I will" She said as she looked at her life long best friend and smiled. She smiled back. "Your still the Same Angel I remember.......Always one to fine solutions to everything......I guess it comes from your mother's side" She said then she fainted again but then woke up her eyes like a cat's once again. "Her evil side's back" Said Chad as he got infront of Angel. Noba and Ririn got infront of them. "We'll hold her off you go find Ichigo and the others......It looks like every one of us will have to fight her" Said Ririn. Angel and Chad noded their heads then ran off tward Uryu's and Ichigo's homes. When they got to Ichigo's Luckily their window was open and Kon was outside sitting on the window. "Kon" Angel Whispered. He looked. "Shiki" he said as he Jumped down tried to grab her chest but She grabed him before that. "Is ichigo and Rukia awake" She asked. "Ichigo is but I dunno about Rukia He can't sleep for some odd reason" He said. "Get him for us now" She said as she threw him back up to the room. He landed on Ichigo. "What the hell you doing Kon" He said as he grabed him by the tail. "Chad and Shiki are here they want to talk to you....They look beat up for some reason" Kon said as he looked at him. Ichigo put Kon down then looked out his window to see Chad who's back was still bleeding from the glass and Angel in her spirit form glaring at him. Just by looking at her face automatically told him what he had to do. He took Kon's soul candy out of his body and swallowed it as his soul reaper form came out. He knocked on Rukia's closet door telling her to get up and that there was work to do. She opened up the closet door looking at him sleepily. "Ichigo do you have any Idea what time it is....Hollows don't roam around at this time of night plus I didn't get a signal on my soul pager" She said as she rubbed her eyes. "This isn't about a Hollow....It's about Sophie Chad and Angel are outside waiting on us" He said as he looked at her. She noded her head then ate a soul candy and her soul reaper form came out of her body. "You stay here untill I get back" She said to the mod soul who was taking over her body. "Yes ma'am" She said. All of a sudden Ichigo held out his arms for her. "You look too tired to get out on your own" He said as he helped her out of the closet. "I could've done that myself Ichigo.......But thank you" She said. "Hurry up love birds what are you doing in there Making out or something" Angel said. Chad smirked softly. "HA you wish" Ichigo said as he jumped out his window landing on his feet infront of them. Rukia jumped after him but as she was falling she began to fall asleep. "Idiot I'm starting to think that she should just stay home and sleep" Said Ichigo as he caught her as she fell. "Alright let's go find Orihime and Uryu then head back and see if Ririn and Noba are still alive" Said Ichigo. "........I'll look for Orihime and Uryu you guys go back and see how Ririn and Noba are doing holding off Sophie" Angel said. "But......Angel I-" Said Chad before he got interupted. "Look Angel why don't I go back and see if the mod souls are still alive while you and your boyfriend go find Orihime and Uryu.........And Chad........Might wanna get your back looked at it's still bleeding.....how did you hurt it anyway" He said as he looked down at Rukia who was still in his arms. "When Sophie barged into our appartment window the glass got him......I'll look at it later but right now we've gotta look for Uryu and Orihime" Said Angel. "You don't have to look for either of us....we're already here" said Uryu from behind them. "Wow Chad you need to have your back checked it looks really bad" Said Orihime. "Alright since now that we're all here let's go back to their appartment and see if Ririn and Noba held her off long enaugh for Chad and Angel to find us" Said Ichigo. "Alright guys let's go" Said Angel as she started running back to the appartment when she started to see smoke coming from it. "Uh-oh that doesn't look good" She thought as she ran beginning to feel pain in her stumich. "Hey Chad......Has the wound on her stumich from the other day healed yet" Ichigo asked Chad. "No......I'm starting to get worried about it.......It should've healed by now" He said worriedly. "......I'm thinking that she shoudln't fight in her condition....I mean she's been sick and her wound's still healing..........So let us handle Sophie while you guys treat eachother's wounds" He said. "Whaaaat Why I'm the only one who can defete her" Said Angel as she turned around. "In your condition you aren't ready to fight her just yet Angel so listen to what I say I want you and Chad to run and hide for now We'll call you when the fight's over" he said. "..................Fine but you better not get your asses kicked or killed Got that.........you know how much I worry about all of you" She said as she crossed her arms. "We know WE KNOW.....Don't worry we'll be fine.....We'll kick her ass you know THAT for a fact" Said Ichigo.
When Ichigo, Uryu, Orihime, and the now awake and ready to fight Rukia got to Chad and Angel's appartment they saw both Noba and Ririn knocked out and badly injured. Noba was protecting Ririn with his arms around her holding her close to his chest as they slept. "Orihime Use Baigon, Lily, and Hinagiku to create your shield to protect you then use Shuno and Ayame to help Ririn and Noba behind the barrier I'll back you up" Said Uryu as he summoned his spiritual pressure in the shape of a bow and arrows and shot one at Sophie. She did what she was told and created her barrier infront of her then created her healing barrier over Noba and Ririn as it reversed their injuries. She looked at Uryu, Rukia, and Ichigo as they faught. Just then Tsubaki appeared infront of her. "Let me fight with them Orihime" He said. "I can't risk loosing you again Tsubaki" She said. "Orihime please....I want to help them just as much as you do" He said. "........Fine....but try not to get hurt alright..............Koten Zanshun I reject" She said quietly as Tsubaki did a sneak attack on Sophie. it somewhat worked. He managed to give her some damage. Uryu was the only one who saw Tsubaki. Noba's eyes gently opened. "W-what's going on" He said quietly. He looked up to see that he was in Orihime's Soten Kisshun still holding Ririn in his arms. He looked up to see Orihime looking at Uryu in worry as he faught but then she looked down when she noticed that he was awake. "How are you feeling....You were pretty banged up when we found you" She said. "Where's sophie" He asked. "DAMMIT She got away" He heard Ichigo's voice just outside the window. He saw him fly back into the room. "Dammit and we were THIS close to defeting her THIS CLOSE" he said angerly. "Calm down Ichigo we'll get her next time" Said Rukia. "At least we won" Said Uryu. He looked at Orihime. "Thanks to Orihime's Tsubaki she was forced to retreat for now" He thought. "I guess now we have to see where Angel and Chad went to" Said Rukia. "My guess the park" Said orihime. "at this time of night Orihime please Sophie lives by the park or so Angel tells me if She saw them on her way home then she will surely attack her so I don't think they would be there" Said Rukia. "Hmm........Maybe they're down by the river watching the beautiful sunrise together" Said Kruodo as he looked out the hole where the window used to be as he saw the sun slowly rising. "Maybe.....let's go check it out" Said Orihime as she got up. She walked out of the door as Uryu and the others fallowed her. Uryu looked at her and smiled. "Come on Uryu.......If you wanna say something to her then just say it" Ichigo said. "I........I don't have anything to say to her............Plus what about you and Rukia huh" He lied. Rukia blushed. "I'll tell her when we get back" Ichigo wispered in his ear. "Let's just hope that she returns your feelings" He said. "Same with Orihime" Said Ichigo. He noded his head. "I'll tell her.........When the time's right" he said. "Atta boy Uryu you're finally starting to grow up into a man...........But I think a cirtin someone already knows that your a man to begin with" said Ichigo as he laughed which made Uryu blush. "What are you men blabling about" Said Orihime and Rukia at the same time. "N-Nothing ladies" They both said. the girls laughed which made the boys smile at them. When Uryu looked at Orihime he felt like he could just grab her and kiss her lips holding her in his arms as if it were just then and no one else in the world of the living. But he kept it to himself. Ichigo felt the same urge twards Rukia but he too kept that urge in. When they finally found Chad and Angel. Kurodo was right. Ichigo saw them on the bridge watching the runrise as he held her close to him. Angel turned around to see them. "Looks like all the ganges' Couples are all here" She said as she smiled. "What's THAT suposed to mean" said Ichigo as everyone blushed madly. Ririn just held onto Noba's arm. She laughed. "I can see that your holding Rukia's hand as usual. "wait a minute what do you mean 'as usual'" He said as he looked becide him noticing that he was indeed holding Rukia's hand. He stared at her hand and smiled as he gently clinched it. "I guess this just goes to show that I love her" he said as he looked into her beautiful purple eyes as he held her other hand in his and held them up to his chest. Her eyes widened. "I-Ichigo" she said. "We've always known Carrot top" Said Rosa as she pounced on his back. "Rosa what the hell are you doin here" Angel asked. "I just found out something..............You didn't USED to have your wings...........When you were nine your wings were severed from your back when you tried to protect your father from the car wreck And ever since then you were called a 'Fallen Angel'........Normally no Fallen angel ever gets their wings back when their first severed UNLESS they protect the one they love and are swarn to protect for the rest of their life for the first time.......And THAT'S how you became a 'Guardian Angel'" She said. "I've read about Fallen Angels before.....So that myth is true" Asked Chad. "YUP So THAT means that when Angel protected you for the first time her wings appeared bigger then ever........And she protected and is still protecting her true love" She said. "So what your saying is Chad's actually Angel's true love" Asked Ichigo. "YUP Just like Rukia is yours and Orihime is Uryu's Even you yourselves should know THAT by now" Said Rosa. "HUUUUH" Uryu and Orihime said at the same time as they blushed madly. They looked at eachother. Orihime smiled at him as she continued to blush. Uryu looked down at he blushed even more but smiled slightly. "Awwww" Said Rosa and Angel at the same time. Ichigo and Rukia laughed. "So THAT explains why Uryu always walks Orihime home and helps her out with assignments when she needs them........well there's also another reason why he walks her home..............and that's to protect her form any hollows that might show up....He only had to protect her a couple of times within a few months" Rosa said. "I protected her because she's my friend" said Uryu. "But then that doesn't explain why you ALWAYS walk her home every day after school" She said. "Well that's..........Why should I tell you anyway squirt" Said Uryu. "OHHHHH Dissed by the Quincy" Said Angel as she laughted at her sister. "SHUT UP.....You know how much I hate being called a Sqirt" She said. Angel smiled at her sister as she leaned her head on Chad's chest.
"We should get home guys I'm bushed let's go back to sleep" She said as she yoaned. just then Chad pucked her up carrying her like a child. "you can sleep on the way home" Said Chad as he hugged her. She smiled and laid her head on his neck her nose touching just below his chin. "We had a rough night plus there's no school today because of inservice so we should sleep in" Said Ichigo. They all started walking home when they neared Uryu's house him and Orihime said their goodbyes then started walking away from them. "Don't do anything NAUGHTYYY" Rukia teased which made them blush madly as they started walking away. "Same goes for you and Ichigo.....OH And you too Chad" Said Orihime. Chad and ichigo blushed madly. "Come on I would never do such a thing" Said Ichigo. "Ok Orihime let's go get home I'm starting to see bags under your eyes so you should really get to sleep" Said Uryu as he gently pushed her ahead of him. Minutes later they were home. Uryu used his Keys to get inside "Uryu.............Do you think that.........what Rosa said about us..........is true.........Are we really........ment for eachother as she says" Orihime asked as she started to blush. "it's hard for me to say.........But I am hoping that it is" He said as they took off their shoes and put on their slippers. She looked at him with her eyes widened. He looked at her and smiled. Just then he heard her stumich growl. He laughed as he saw her blush and put her hand on her stumich. "I guess we haven't eaten for a while huh....ok I'LL fix us something to eat and you go freshen yourself up alright then after a meal THEN we can get some sleep" He said as he walked into the kitchen. Just then She ran to him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you Uryu......For letting me stay with you for a while" She said as she hugged him. He looked at her then smiled and hugged her back. "Don't mention it it was Angel's Idea remember.....but I'm glad she thought of the idea......it's nice to have some company around here" He said. She looked at him and smiled then headed upstares to take a shower. After a shower she walked down the staris but then all of a sudden her slipper caught on something on the stairs and she fell. She thought she was gonna break a limb but a pair of soft hands grabed her as she fell. "Are you alright Orihime" Uryu asked from underneath her. she looked down and gasped in surprisement as she got off of him. "Oh my god uryu I'm sooo sorry Did I hurt you" she said as she looked at him. "No I'm fine....That was quite a fall you took it's a good thing I was here to catch you or else you would've broken your neck" he said as he sat up. But when he sat up he looked into her eyes and realized how close he was to her face. They both started to blush. But then Uryu inched a little closer....and closer.....and closer....Untill he kissed her. They stayed like that for about half a minute then broke the kiss. he looked at her and smiled but then realized what he had just done. "S-Sorry" He said as he backed a way a little. Orihime smiled then kissed him again. he kissed her back after a while. When they broke the kiss again he got up draging her with him. "Come on I heard your stumich growl a little while ago so I figured that you were probibly starving by now so breakfast....is served" he said as he lead her into the dining room. "Oh Uryu it all looks so good" She said as she looked at the plates filled with food. After breakfast Orihime yoaned. Uryu smiled. "Come on Orihime it's time to go to sleep" he said as he gnetly grabed her hand. he noticed that she was wearing the nightgown he had made for her after they had returned from the Soul Society for the third time. He smiled. "That gown looks beautiful on you Orihime.......Just as I had pictured it" He said. She blushed at what he had said. "t-thank you uryu" She said. He hugged her as he whispered in her ear. "I love you......My Hime" She looked at him and smiled. "And I love you too my Uryu" She said just before she kissed him once more. When he broke the kiss he led her to her room. "Those bags under your eyes are starting to get bigger so it's best if you should get to sleep. She laid down in her bed then he bint down and kissed her forehead. he stood up to leave but She grabed his hand. "What is it Orihime" he said as he saw her blushing a little. "Is it about what Rukia said........don't worry I would never do such a thing....ichigo on the other hand....maybe" He asked. She giggled which made him smile. "it's not that....I was wondering if......you could........" She started to say. he smiled a little more. "Just this one time......bad dream the night before huh.....so your afraid it might come back again....Scoot over" He said as he laid down in bed with her. He wraped his arms around her and hugged her tightly as they both fell asleep together. That night Angel woke up to a desturbing nightmare. she erked up in a sweat making her front wound open a little. she winced in pain. She looked over and noticed that Chad was sitting at the side of her bed looking at her worriedly. "thank god.....I've been trying to wait you up for ten minutes........You were having a nightmare" he said worriedly as he hugged her tightly. "She hugged him back as she began to cry. "Oh Tora it was horrible....You and the others were fighting the remaining espada's and arrancars to protect me....but all of you lost......and they killed every single one of you.......and you were the first one to die" She said as she cried under his neck her nose touching the bottom of his chin. "it's alright I'm here now" He said as he stroked her hair gently. Just then he noticed her reopened wound. "Your wound......it reopened again..............here let's put some medicine on it it's over due anyways" He said as he grabed the medicine bottle the put some of it on her wound. "It's almost healed......it's gotten smaller since we started putting the medicine on it" he said trying to cheer her up. But it didn't work. "Tora......i'm afraid that the Nightmare might come back again" she said as she looked at him tears still rolling down her face. he dried her tears then smiled as he leaned back dragging her with him. She let out a soft "eep" as he dragged her down. "Now it won't come back..............Cause I'll be becide you the rest of the night" He said as he kissed her forehead. she looked at him then smiled as more tears started to fill up in her eyes. Then she kissed his lips tenderly. He kissed her back. He turned her over onto her side with her back twrads the wall then broke the kiss. He grabed the covers and covered them up. "We shold get back to sleep.....we've got school tomarrow" He said as he hugged her tightly. She smiled and kissed his lips once more then broke it. "I love you.........My tora" she said as she cuddled up to his chest. He looked down at her and smiled as he hugged her. "I love you too.....my Angel" He said before they fell asleep.
The next morning everyone woke up to another bright and sunny day. Everyone was walking to school. "Isn't it a beautiful day today guys" Said Orihime as she stretched. Uryu looked at her and smiled. "Yes but here's something that's bad about today" Said Angel. "What's that Angel" Ichigo asked as he held Rukia's hand. "Finals are today" She said. "WHAAAAAAT Why didn't you tell us sooner dammit and I didn't even study for once" he said surprisingly. "We all didn't study jackass" She said as she glared at him. "Don't worry.....Sensei gives us up to about ten minutes to study before the test remember we can study then" Chad said. "Oh yeah I forgot........I'm not worried then" she said as she giggled embarassingly as she put her hand behind her head. He looked at her and smiled. "Come on guys class is gonna start soon we're gonna be late if we don't hurry" Said Rukia as she began to run. Ichigo ran after her followed by Uryu and Orihime. Angel looked at them and laughed. "It's almost as if it's a race for them" She said. Chad's smile grew then he started running. "We should hurry" He said. She ran after him. "I'm coming wait for me Tora" She said as she ran. A few hours later they were in their third hour class. "Hmm.........I wonder where Sophie is.......I haven't seen her since the fight the other day" Angel thought as she looked around the Auditorium where her class were rehearsing for their show. "Hmm,....this is odd Sophie's still gone today.....I wonder where she is" Said the Chior teacher as she took role. "She's sick with that real bad flu that's goin around in the U.S she must've caught it from her family when she was there" Angel lied. "Oh...Well I hope she gets better cause the concerts in a month" She said. "I hope so too" Angel thought sadly. Just then her necklace started to glow. "Chad......I have a bad feelinga bout this" She thought as she looked at her necklace. After third hour was over Angel hurried to her next class when she met the others in her next class. They looked at her with sadness. "What's wrong guys Where's Tora" She asked. "he......Was attacked by Sophie and.....well...." Ichigo began. "is he.....Is he....."Angel said as tears started to form in her eyes. "Right now he's at Kuiske's but he isn't dead......it would take 100 Arrancars to try and kill him So don't worry he won't die but you should skip the rest of the day and go check up on him I told the teachers you weren't feeling well so I they told me that you could go home" Rukia Explained. "Alright thnks Rukia I owe ya one" She said as she hurried out the door and headed over to Kuiske's. When she got to Kuiske's Ururu and Jinta were sweaping the shop entrance. "Is Kuiske in" She asked as she panted. "Ahh Angel how nice to see you again please come inside but I'm afraid that you won't like what you see" He said as he lead her into Chad's room. When she Entered Shuno and Ayame were healing his wounds. "Orihime sent Shuno and Ayame to try and heal his wounds......most of them seem to be clearing but there's one that's too stubburn to heal.....We thought maybe you could try to heal it......we should let him rest for now...........There's a ten percent chance he could die from the wound.....but he's tough so I know he'll survive" He said as he started heading out the door. "I'll have ururu make you some tea if you want some" "that would be great....thanks..................I'm gonna stay with Tora just in case he wakes up" She said. "Alright.....he would love that.......Just before you came here and he passed out all he ever talked about.....was you.......I'm surprised he said so much since the last time I saw him" He said. She looked at him and smiled as she began to cry. "He's the stubburn one....he should've feld from the battlefeild when things got too tough for him" She said as she looked at him. Kuiske headed out the door. After awhile Shuno and Ayame were done healing most of his wounds. "We tried our best untill our power ran out" Shuno said as she and Ayami landed in Angel's palms. "thanks for everything you two....you should go back to Orihime now so that you can regain your streangh" She said as they flew away. She put her hand on his Cheeck. "You're so stubburn....taking Sophie on all by yourself.....You should've called for me then I would've come help you in a heartbeat" She said as she started crying. Then she examined the stubburn wound that Shuno and Ayame weren't able to heal. "That's Sophie's work aright.......but nothing I can't fix" She thought as she saw a long gash accrossed his chest. She kissed the long gash as it started to glow then Shrinked smaller....smaller untill there was nothing left. He winced in pain as he started to wake up. "Stubburn tiger.......Why didn't you call for me when She came" She said as she looked at him. He looked at her then looked down. "I figured I could try to take her on by myself......try to make her pay for killing your mother" He said. He sat up but with a little pain from the small wounds that also weren't able to heal the blanket falling off as he sat up. "Like I said before Tora.........This is my fight........You got hurt because of me........because of what happened to my mother" she said as she looked at him as she cried. "Angel I didn't get hurt because of you.......I got hurt because I wanted to help you avenge your mother's death" He said. He gently grabed her and put her on his lap and held her tightly. She blushed realizing that he was holding her to his bare chest. "Becides.....it's not 'just' your fight anymore.....it's our fight now..........Anyone who plans on taking you away.......will have to answer to me...........anyone who even TRIES to lay a SINGLE finger on that long....soft....delicate....beautiful hair of yours........Will have to answer to me" He said as he looked down at her and smiled then dried her tears with his thumb. "Oh Tora" Angel said as she wraped her arms around his neck hugging him gently as she kissed his lips tenderly as she cried. "I won't let anything bad happen to you................I promise" He said as he hugged her when they broke te kiss. "Don't try being the big hero just for my sake Tora.....Ichigo only tries being the big hero just on sheer luck and the thughts of Rukia alone........But that kind of stuff will only get all of you killed.........and you all know it" She said as she put her hands on his cheeks. "so don't even dare try to be the big hero again" She said. "Sooo.......Chad's finally grown into a true man" Said Kuiske as he walked into the room with a couple cups of tea. They quickly sperated. "H-how long have you been standing there K-Kuiske" Angel asked. "Since He said that it wasn't just your fight anymore" He said as he smiled but hid it with his fan. "So basically the whole time" She said. "Preeetty much.....here Ururu made some tea for you guys" He replied as he gave them the tea. "Oh....Thank you" They said at the same time. "Don't mind me asking but How long have you two been goin steady" He asked. "Ummmm" Angel said quietly then she looked at noded his head and smiled. "......about a month I think" She said. "Really that long huh what are your plans for the furture since he IS your true love" He asked. "That we haven't decided yet" Chad said as he gnetly grabed Angel's hand. She looked at him and smiled lovingly. He smiled back. "Do the other's know......About you two" Kuiske asked. They both noded their heads as they looked at him. "Yes.....they know" Angel said. "You two make such a cute couple" Said Ririn as she walked in. Noba and Kurodo walked in behind her. "How's Chad's wounds" Kurodo asked. "He'll be alright..I still need to heal the smaller ones that Shuno and Ayame weren't able to heal but he'll be alright" Angel said. After they talked for a couple of hours and Angel healed the rest of Chad's wounds they left. "We have to put some of that medicine on you I'm pretty sure it's overdue" He said as they walked hand in hand. "I know............I thought you were embarassed about people seeing us like this" She asked. "I used to be..........but then I realized that everyone knows we're together.....We shouldn't hide it anymore" He said. She smiled. When they got home they saw that it was getting dark. "We should head onto bed soon it's getting dark out" She said as they reached the door. He unlocked it, opened it, and let her go in first. "Always a gentleman aren't you sweety" She said as she gave him a peck on the lips. He smiled and noded his head. "but it's when your in battle where you're feirce" She said as she winked at him. He chuckled as he shut the door and locked it then hugged her tightly. "I'm only feirce when I want to protect someone or something aguinced a hollow" He said. "What and not Arrancars or Espadas.......Even the Grim reapers" she asked. "I Protect the ones I love and people I cherish aguinced all those things" He said. "but we aren't the only ones that you should protect we ALL need to protect everyone in Karakura Town" She said. "I know" He said as he gently grabed her hands and held them tightly between his own interwining her fingers with his. "I'll protect them too" He kissed her forehead. "not just you.....but also Ichigo and the others as well as me" She said. He chuckled then kissed her lips gently. "And I'll help you protect them" He said when they broke the kiss. "HEY tomarrow's Friday........right" She asked. "Thursday honey" He said as he hugged her. "Well........I was thinking like either on Friday or Saturday we could..........Go out on our first date......maybe like a picnic in the park or something" She said as she blushed as she looked down at Chad's feet but smiled slightly. He looked down at her then smiled and hugged her tighter. "Normally it's the guy that asks the girl out...........Let's say Saturday afternoon" he said as he kissed her forehead. She looked at at him and smiled then hugged him tightly. "I'd love that" she said. He looked at the time and saw that it was nine thirty. "We should get to bed we have a big day tomarrow with finishing up our finals" He said as he let her go but all of a sudden his stumich growled. he blushed as he looked away. She laughed. "But first I need to make something to get that stumich of yours to stop growling like a tiger" She said as she laughed. She took off her shoes and put on her slippers and walked into the kitchen. He did the same.
When he walked into the kitchen he saw that She had grabed all what she needed but one thing......a glass pan from the cobburds. She started to climb and reached for the pan but it was still too high for her to reach. She started to climb a little higher but it was still too high. "Want some help" He asked starting to get worried. "it's alright I got it" She said as she stood on the counter and finally grabed the glass pan, but she lost her balence and began to fall but held on tight to the pan. "Angel" He said as his eyes widened and ran to her. He caught her just in time. "Angel you should've said yes when I asked if you needed my help" He said worriedly. "Hey I didn't get hurt did I.....and I protected the pan right" She said as she looked up at him and smiled. he smiled back still a little worried then hugged her tightly. "I'm just glad you're safe" He said. "Tora....the reason why I'm safe is because you saved me" She said. He smiled. "I had to save you......You mean more to me then anyone" He said. She smiled then kissed his lips. "I know.......and you mean just as much to me" She said when they broke the kiss. "Becides if I didn't save you then that pan would've been saved but you would've been hurt" He said as he set her down. She walked back to the counter and started making their dinner. After a while Chad was in his room playing his guitar then he smelled the air. "What smells good Angel" he asked as he walked out of the room. "Lesania......I put chunks of tomato in it so it should taste good I hope" She said as she took the lesania out of the oven. "don't worry.....I'm sure it will" He said as he wraped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly as she was taking off the oven mitts. "We have to let it cool for a little while it's too hot to eat now it'll be cooled enaugh in five minutes" She said as she kissed his cheeck. Minutes later they ate their dinner and headed to bed. Early in the morning Angel woke up sweating eyes widened as she sat up panting. She looked over at Chad who was still asleep, but judging by the look on his face, She knew he was worried. "I'll tell him tomarrow" She thought as she laid back down and tried to go back to sleep. That morning Chad woke up. he looked over at angel and seen that she was lying on her bed currled up in feetle position but wasn't covered by any of her blankets. he got up and waked over. "Angel.....Angel wake up" he said as he gently shook her. She opened her eyes. "You had a nightmare again didn't you" He said. "How can you tell" She asked. "Whenever you have nightmares you wake up sweating" He said. She looked down. "Yeah" She said sadly. "Wanna tell me about it" He asked as he sat down next to her. "I was sleeping in a dark room......the only thing I could feel was either you or Tessai holding me.....I heard your voice telling me to not be scared......I didn't know what was going on......untill I saw Sophie...but becide Sophie....was a New girl......Looked like another grim reaper....but I wasn't sure.....You looked at her as if you were looking at me.....When I looked Closely at the new girl.....she looked exactly like me.....only a little shorter so it might've been Rosa.....but Like I said I'm not sure" She began. 'Like Rosa huh........Here's the thing.......the way I look at you..........I will never look at another girl like that cause there's no one more beautiful then you" he said as he hugged her tightly. "I'll always love you and ONLY you forever no matter what......so don't think I'll start loving someone else just because of how I look at them" He kissed her lips tenderly. She looked at him and smiled when he broke the kiss. "Your acting as if you've had this dream yourself" She said. "...........I did............A few nights ago......The girl standing becide Sophie.....Might've been Rosa.....there is a chance that Sophie just MIGHT try to take over Rosa's mind in the future......we just don't know when" He said. "Maybe.....We'd better have Kuiske keep an extra eye on her just to make sure" She said. He noded his head. "For some reason but.........Noba and Ririn were in it too.......They were outside Urahara's shop when the darkness finally lit up a little more....though......Ririn.....was stabed in the stumich by Sophie's seith. Noba's eyes were widened so he ran to her..............I don't think she died but Noba looked very worried about her" She said as she looked down. "don't worry...if anything happens to Ririn Noba will protect her........Just like I'll protect you" He said. She looked at him and smiled. "I know you will..........come on let's get ready for school" She said as she got up. 'Alright but first we have to change your bandages and put some of Urahara's medicine on....it should be almost completely healed by now" He said as he grabed the bottle of Medicine which was black again. After they got dressed he changed her bandages, Ate breakfast did their heigene things they headed off to school then later met Ichigo and the others. But when Angel and Chad met up with Ichigo, Orihime, Rukia, and Uryu, they were surprised at what they had saw. Orihime and Uryu were holding hands.
