When Alejandra woke up she was being carried by Chad. They were on their way home from school. "Hmm I wonder why she would call you 'Daddy' Plus I wonder where she got sick from" She heard Angel said. "I'm not sure but I'm getting really worried about her She's been like this since she was in school and she's already been sick recently" Chad said. "Hey how you feelin honey" Angel said as she looked at her. "Not well" She said. "Don't worry We'll give you some medicine pretty soon We're almost home" Chad said. Just then about little over half way home they saw a little boy surounded by other boys around his age. "Why do you try so hard to protect her Ryu She's just a bitch's bitch and her father was a wicked man that loved nothing more than himself She's a nobody" Said one of the kids. "What's going on" Angel asked herself. "That's Ryu He's in my class in kindergarten same with all them other boys" Alejandra said. "If these are the boys that hurt you during recess then-" Angel began. "Then this Ryu kid is the one that defends you" Chad said. He looked down at her. "Right" He asked. She looked up at him and noded her head yes. "Right daddy Ryu always gets into battles like this but he always somehow wins them" She said. "Are you sure Andra" Chad asked. She nods her heads yes again. "Don't interfear with his battle He'll beat them Just watch" She said. After a while the boy called Ryu defeated all of the boys that were surounding him. But not wihtout sustaining some damage. "RYU" Alejandra called out to him as she struggled to get out of Chad's arms. He gently set her down and she ran to him. "A-Alejandra What are you doing here" The boy asked. "My family and I were on our way home from school when we saw you surounded by the boys in our class...Did you cause another fight again" she asked before she caughed in her arm. "No...They gained up on me" He said. "Do your parents know you're still out here" Angel asked. "...I...Don't have any" He said sadly. "What about a Legal guardian" Chad asked. "No" Ryu said. "But then how do you get to school" Angel asked. "I'm not sure exactly one minute I wasn't goin to school the next thing I know I am" Ryu asked. "And you don't have a home I know that for sure" Alejandra said. "You should come back with us and we can clean your wounds" Chad said. "You can trust my Aunt Angel and daddy they're really good people and can protect us" She said as she looked at him and smiled. He looked at her then looked at Angel and Chad. "Come on Let's fix ya up Whaddya say" Angel said as she reached her hand out to him and smiled sweetly. He looked at her then at Chad then smiled and grabbed Angel's hand. "Come with us so we can fix you up plus you get to meet my baby sister personally" Alejandra said happily. "Don't get too happy sweetie I don't want you throwing up again like in weights class erlier" Chad said. "Alright daddy" She said. So they all headed to the appartment. Angel cleaned and dressed Ryu's wounds as Chad looked for something he could wear so Angel could wash his clothes to get the blood out. Alejandra took a nice warm bath and got ready for bed. Rosa was doing homework in her room. And Sairi was fast asleep in her crib. "I can't believe that some of these parents are teaching these kids to fight" Chad thought as he looked at Ryu's wounds. "Like fathers like sons I guess" Angel thought to him. "They're sick in the minds I think" He thought as he looked off to the side then braught out one of his undershirts. "He can wear this while his clothes are being washed Wish I had something smaller though" He said as he handed the undershirt to Angel. "Thanks hun" She said as she gently grabbed it from him. Once when She finished Bandaging up Ryu she heard Alejandra cry within the bathroom. She quickly ran into the bathroom to see what was wrong. When she headed in there was steam everywhere. She saw her sitting on the floor crying. "The water got too hot again and I threw up" She said. "Alright" She said as she stuck her hand in the boiling hot water and swirled it around as her hand glew a bluish color and the steam disappeared. "I think you're getting your sub element honey" She said. "What's that" Alejandra asked. "Well...It's an element that's similar to your mothers...Y'see she had fire for her element just like I have water...Well since you are her daughter you get a sub element because you're half Angel Which means your element will be similar to Fire which would be heat...Though how you're able to get it this early in your life I'm not sure" She exclaimed. "Though I can tell you how you can control it while your in water and that's when you have to calm down and think of something happy this is how we keep our elemental powers from going out of control like yours just did" She looked at her and smiled. "Alright I'll think about you and Daddy" She said happily as she got back into the bath tub. "Can you wash my hair again pleeeeeeeeeeease" She looked at Angel with the puppy dog eyes. "Oh alright but after I wash it you must be out of this tub and in your bed within an hour got it" She said. "GOT IT" She replied.

"Why do you call Uncle Chad Daddy now" She asked. "Because he's way better of a daddy than my real daddy was so I want HIM to be my daddy now just like I want you to be my new mommy" She said. She looked at her with wide eyes. She sighed as she smiled. "Well we did basically adopted you and Sairi so I guess that would make us your parents now" She said. "YUP but I'll ALWAYS love my real mommy but my real daddy NO WAY He was way too mean to you and me So he isn't my daddy anymore" She said. "he's still your father wether you want him to be or not because he is your biological father" She said. "What does Biological mean" She asked. "Biological means that He asked the stork to bring you and Sairi into this world because he wanted you in this world as his daughters" She said. "Soooo...When you and Daddy marry he'll ask the stork to bring you and him a kid as well" She asked. "Someday yes" She said. "YEAY Someday I'm gonna have another brother or sister" She said. "Neice or Nefew to you" Angel said as she stood up. "Wash your body then I want you OUT of that tub once your done Got it missy and daddy will halp you with the rest of your homework when you get out alright" She said before she walked out of the room. "ALRIGHT" She yelled back to make sure that Angel heared her. "What was that all about Miss Shirorufu" Ryu asked. "it's nothing Ryu" She said. "Is it her sub element" Chad asked. "Yeah I'm not sure why but she has it now but it's way too soon for her" She said. "Bath water go too hot again right" He asked. "Yeah...And I know why she calls you daddy now" She said. "I don't mind it actually...We did adopt them afterall so that does make us her foster parents" He said. "That's the reason why she calls you daddy and she wants to call me mommy now instead of Aunt Angel" She said. "Let her call us what she wants It'll be alright" He said. After a while Alejandra came out of the bathroom in her PJs and was all ready to finish homework with Chad to help her. She ran into the kitchen and pounced on him as he had just finished his own homework. "DADDYYYYY...Can you help me finish my homework now pleeeeeeease" She said. "Alright alright bring me your paper and your counting friends in case we need them" He said. "YEAY" She said as she hopped off of him and ran to her room then came back with her paper and book in hand. "I wanna do today's math homework and tomarrow's reading homewrok" She said. "What are you supposed to read for tomarrow's homework" He asked. She held up the book to him. "This one It's an assignment that Mrs. Linda gave us She told us that we have to read all the books within the series every night when we have reading homework" She said just before she caughed. "First lets take your tempature If your sick tomarrow then I'll stay home and take care of you" he said as he got up and opened the cabnet where the thermometer was. He took it out and turned it on then stuck it under the right side of her tounge. After a little while the thermometer beeped and he took it out and looked at it. "103.8 You're definately sick You're staying home tomarrow cause this high of a tempature won't go away after just twenty-fourt hours" He said as he looked at it. "But what is it that I have daddy" She asked. "I'm not sure we'll have to figure that out later When I take you to the doctor" He said. "I don't wanna go to the doctor" She said. "You have to sweetie if you want to get better" He said as he picked her up and held her like a small child. "I no wanna go daddy cause you don't have enagh money for that" She said. "Don't worry about it Alejandra I'll deal with it" She heard Angel's voice from behind them. "Right now all we have to worry about is healing you from whatever virus you got from the kids and I'll get your homework from Mrs. Linda tomarrow" Ryu said. Alejandra looked at him and smiled. "But hey don't you have your own homework to do Ryu" She asked. "I'm already done with most of it" He said. "What all do you have left to do" Angel asked as he looked at him. "The reading homework" He said. "Do you have to read the same book that Alejandra's reading" Chad asked. "Yeah We're in the same class" He said. "HEY then we all can work on the reading homework together" Alejandra said. "That's a good Idea Andra" Chad said.

That night everyone was fast asleep except for Chad, Angel, and Alejandra. Alejandra and Angel were in the bathroom as Alejandra was puking in the toilet and Angel was holding her hair back and Chad was finding some medicine for her in the medicine cabnet. He had tooken her tempature again and it went up to 104.4 which got Chad and Angel worried for her. "I don't understand what's goin on She just got over the flu not that long ago how could get sick again in such a short time" Chad thought to Angel. "I'm not sure Do you think we should take her to Ichigo's Clinic" Angel thought. "Yeah I'll take her tomarrow" He thought. "Alright I'll let Ichigo know he should still be awake right" She thought. "I think so" He thought. "I'll give him a call once when Alejandra is finished in here" She thought to him. "I hope she'll be alright I can hear her crying all the way from in the kitchen" He thought. "I think she's finished for now" She said as he heard the bathroom door open. She took out her cellphone and started calling Ichigo's own cell. Alejandra dizzaly walked towards Chad but couldn't keep her balance and fell. Luckally Chad was there to catch her fall. "You should try and get some sleep Andra you're way too sick to even walk" He said worriedly as he picked her up and holding her tightly in his arms. "Yo Ichigo it's me Sorry to call so late but Tora's gonna bring Alejandra over to the clinic tomarrow Her tempature went up from 103 to 104 within two hours and I have a very bad feeling that it's gonna raise even higher than that by tomarrow" He heard Angel talking to Ichigo. "Do you have any Idea on what's wrong with her" Ichigo asked on the other end. "No I don't sorry Als I know is that she has the regular symptoms of the flu but she already had the flu not too long ago" Angel said. After a While of talking to Ichigo she hung up her cellphone. "I told him that you'll be there around noonish that's the only opening his father has till two tomarrow" She said. "Alright that'll be fine" He said as he looked down at the sleeping Alejandra in his arms in worry. "I just hope his father would be able to find out what's wrong with her" "I hope so too" She said. She looked at him and smiled to herself when she sees the way he looks at Alejandra with such worry and compassion. "You may not recagnize it but you're a great father figure to Alejandra and Sairi...And I'm proud of you Tora" She said. "And you are a great mother to them as well Angel...I love these girls as if they're my own and since we adopted them then that technically makes me their new father...I wanna do everything I can to make these girls' lives happy and less violent no matter what" He explained. "And we can make that happen Tora and technically we already are" She said. "What I mean is I want to raise them like a normal family would without all these hollow attacks and everything...But I know that that will never happen because we aren't some normal family" He said. "Oh then what kind of family are we then" She asked as she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "We're abnormal" He said. "the girls are Abnormal as well as you and me I mean Alejandra is getting her Sub-element and Sairi knowing when she gets to be around Alejandra's age or older she'll get her sub-element as well and our kids will be like both of us...though hopefully I don't get attacked by a hollow while I'm pregnant because since we're fullbringers we shouldn't have our kids be fullbringers" She explained. "I will never let a hollow hurt you during those times" He said as he looked at her. He looked down at Alejandra as he heard her caugh. he put his hand on her forehead. "She's getting worse by the hour babe I'm not sure what we should do" He said. "For now let's put her into bed and keep a wet washcloth on her that should help bring her fever down at least a little but knowing her she'll be strong and keep it stabelized until you take her to Ichigo's place tomarrow" She said. "Right" He said.

the next day Chad took Alejandra to the Kurosaki Clinic and Ishhin took a look at her. After a while of examining her he looked at chad with a long sad face. "I'm afraid she wasn't completely cured of her flu and it has now grown into nuemonia how long as she been like this" He explained then asked as he looked at Chad. "Since Yesterday afternoon when we picked her up from school" He said. "It would be best if she didn't go to school for the next couple of weeks it'll take a while for the nuemonia to leave her system it won't take two weeks for it to leave but just to make sure it's completely gone you should keep her home for the next two weeks just to make sure" He suggested. Chad Noded his head in agreement. "Daddy you can't take a whole two weeks off of school and neither can mommy" Alejandra said as she looked up at him. "We'll take turns staying home to take care of you and leaving you home alone is definately out of the question" He said. "But daddy if you don't go to school at the same time mommy does then you won't be able to graduate with her and the others" She said. "Not if I don't do my homework I won't" He said. "How will you get your homework From Mommy" She asked. "That's right" He said. "But What about your Weights class" she asked. "I don't get much homework from that particular class" He said. "Ohhh" She said. Two hours later they were home. Chad was making something to eat for Alejandra hoping that she would hold it down while she was laying down on the couch gently petting her kitten (That she had gotten from Angel and Chad for her birthday whom she named Yukihime) while trying to get a little bit of sleep. The puppy was sleeping on her doggie bed nearby. Alejandra named her Okamihime. Chad walked in with a tray in his hands. On the tray was a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a small glass of Sprite, and a small measuring cup with purple liquid in it up to a point. The purple liquid was over the counter medicine that Ichigo's father suggested would be best for her. "Andra I've made you some soup in case you were hungry" He said as he set the tray on the table accross from the couch. "I'm starving but whatever I eat I just puke it back up" She said sadly. "I know sweetie I wish there was more that I can do for you" He said. Just then he heard the door open and Ryu walked in. "How is she Mr. Sado" He asked. "Not good I'm afraid she wasn't completely cured of her flu and now it's become nuemonia apparently it's pretty bad it'll take her a couple of weeks to get better so she may not be able to go to school for a while" He said. "Oh...Well I braught her homework it looks to be more math homework I'll just set it on the kitchen table for her" Ryu said as he set Alejandra's homework on the table then started to walk out of the door. "Where are you going Ryu" Alejandra asked. "I'm not really too sure I guess I go wherever my body takes me" He said. "did you fight the boys again" Chad asked. "N-no why" He lied. "Cause I can see new wounds forming on you" He said. "they're minor unlike Yesterdays. "You're staying with us until we can figure something out so for right now why don't you stay here" He said. "A-alright...When will Miss Shirorufu come home" Ryu said. "not for a little while why" He said. "Just wondering cause I saw this huge monster with a hole in its chest and I saw Miss Shirorufu fighting it along with a couple of Soul Reapers" He said. "Must've been a hollow attack erlier Ichigo, Rukia, and Angel can handle it" He said. "Daddy Erlier when you were looking out the window...you said it was nothing but you were sensing that hollow right" Alejandra asked. "That's right" He said. just then Ajelandra quickly stood up and rushed into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. Chad looked at her worriedly then started to hear her cry. "I wish I could take away her sickness and bring it upon myself" Ryu said worriedly. "As do I" Chad said. An hour later Alejandra woke up in Chad's arms wrapped in her favorite blanket. He was sitting on the couch helping Ryu with some of his homework. She looked around then looked at Chad as he looked down at her worriedly then he hugged her tightly but not too tight and kissed the top of her head. "I was worried when I didn't hear you so I walked in and you were passed out on the floor" He said. "Am I getting better daddy" She asked. He looked at her then nodded his head no. "I'm afraid you're getting worse sweetie it's gonna take a while for your body to get better" He said. "my body hurts and my stumich hurts daddy" She said as she leaned on his chest. "I know sweetie I'll get you some medicine it's been almost six hours since you took it last" He said. "What happened to the medicine that you gave me with the soup" She asked. "You didn't take it and you couldn't keep the soup down" He said. "Daddy I wanna be better again" She said as she burried her face in his chest making her voice muffled. "I know sweetie we all want you better again" He said as he held her close to him. "Tora Alejandra Ryu I'm home" they heard Angel walking in the door. "Mommy you better not've gotten hurt during that hollow attack again" Alejandra said. "How did you guys know" She asked. "Ryu saw you with Ichigo and Rukia fighting" Alejandra said. "So I've seen Where's he at now" She asked. "He's here with us I'm helping him with homework" Chad said. "Good That's how it should be" She thought to herself.

A little while later Misaki and Rosa came home from school as Angel was fixing dinner. "mmmm what smells good Angel" She asked. "I'm making my secret recipie and I'm not telling you what it is you'll just have to find out for yourself" She said. "Alright alright I get it" Rosa said as she looked on the couch to see Alejandra snuggled in Chad's arms as he worked on his homework Angel braught home with her. "She sure is becoming a daddy's girl isn't she" She said. "She sure is but Tora doesn't mind at all you know how he loves her, you, and Sairi We're all one big family now" Angel said. "So how is she Chad" Rosa asked. "not so good She has Nuemonia and she's getting worse Right now she's asleep I gave her some medicine and for now she seems to be holding it down" Chad explained. "I wish there was something we can do for her" Rosa said worriedly. That night Rosa, Misaki, Ryu, and Alejandra were sound asleep. Angel was gently rocking Sairi back and forth in the rocking chair while Chad was finishing up his homework but keeping his ears open in case Alejandra wakes up. "Since you stayed home with her today I'll stay home with her tomarrow" Angel said. "I know...but you know tomarrow we have to go to the meeting at headquarters tomarrow also" Chad said. "I know and we all have to be there but we could ask Uryu and Orihime to watch Alejandra while we're gone...problem is what would we say to them" She said. "We'll have to think of something" He said. "The other thing is about Ryu What should we do with him I mean he has no home or no family though somehow he's going to school if he's going to school then who's paying for it" She said as she looked at him. "We'll have to find out" He said. "hey Tora...Do you think this Ryu kid is the Ryu that Papa mentioned the other day" She said. "What do you mean" He asked. "After high school is over for us You, me, Rosa, Misaki, Alejandra, and Sairi are suposed to head to the Soul Society for training but he also mention that this person named Ryu is joining us for training" She explained. "Maybe We may have to ask the Head Captain" He said. "Yeah I'll go into the Soul Society after you come home You don't mind watching the kids till I get back right" She asked. "No not at all I'll help them with homework" He said. "Alright then I'll make dinner just before you come home you'll have to finish fixing it though" She said. "I will don't worry about a thing Angel everything'll be alright Trust me" He said as he looked at her and smiled. She looked back at him and smiled back. Just then Alejandra rushed out of the bedroom and ran into the bathroom. Chad looked over then stood up and walked towards the opened bathroom door as he saw her puking into the toilet. He knelt down and pulled her hair back to keep it from getting throw up on it. "Maybe we should have her sleep with us until the two weeks is over I don't want Rosa, or the boys to get sick" Angel said. "We should but we can't have Sairi near her or she'll get sick as well" Chad said. "Your right...She'll have to sleep on one side of us and Sairi will have to sleep between us...But then we would risk getting sick" Angel said. "It's better us getting sick than Sairi or the others becides we've had the flu before so we shouldn't be able to get it again for a while" He said. "I hope you're right Tora" she said. "That won't be good daddy I'll just sleep on the couch in the livingroom" Alejandra said as she laid her head on Chad's stumich. "not an option young lady You're gonna sleep with us till you get better" Chad said as he wrapped his arms around her gently setting her on his lap. "But daddy I don't want you guys getting sick" She said as she looked at him. "Don't worry about it Andra Come on let's get you some more medicine and get you back to bed" He said as he picked her up flushing the toilet as he got up. He gave her some medicine and took her to bed. "It's time for bed now Andra" Angel said as she saw Alejandra beginning to fall asleep on Chad's sholder. "We should get some sleep too Tora I have to watch the kids tomarrow and you have school to go to" She said. "We will I'll have Andra sleep with me and you can have Sairi sleep by you That way Sairi won't be near her when she sleeps" He said. "Good Idea Tora" She said. They set Sairi and Alejandra in their beds and laid down next to them. Sairi slept with Angel and Alejandra slept with Chad. In the middle of the night Chad woke up to Alejandra tossing and turning in her sleep and sweating. He gently shook her. "Andra...Andra wake up" He wisperd. She quickly sat up panting and silently crying. "What's wrong sweetie" He said as he sat up and held her close. "I-it's nothing I just had a bad dream that's all" She said. "Wanna talk to me about it" He asked. "...Mommy was somewhere outside...it was dark so i'm not sure where she was but...She had her back to me...She was looking out in sadness for some reason...She looked like she had a rope aroud her neck or something it was too dark to see what it was...She leaned forward as if she was falling but you quickly ran up behind her and grabbed her before something happened to her...but then you slapped her as if you were mad at her or something...And yet you were also crying as you spoke to her...Daddy Do you ever hurt mommy the way you did in my dream" She asked as she looked at him. He looked at her with wide eyes. His eyes soften then laid her back down wrapping his arms around her tightly. "No sweetie I've never hurt her and I would never EVER hurt her physically, mentally, or emotionally I love her with everything I have and I'll always love her as well as you, Sairi, Rosa, and Misaki" He said. "Even Ryu" She asked. "Well we'll see about Ryu it depends on what we find out about him" He said. "Are you going to marry mommy someday" She asked. "Someday yes" He said. She looked at him and smiled widely. He smiled back then covered them both back up with the blanket. "Go back to sleep" He said as he hugged her tightly. She smiled then cuddled into his chest. "I love you daddy" She said. He looked down at her and smiled then closed his eyes. "I love you too...My little Andra" He wispered.
