Minawa: Here is da segundo chapter, just cuz the first reviewer asked nicely for it.

: That is so kind of you...*hint of sarcasm*

Minawa: *sigh* I know...

"How suspicious!" Rukia said. I sighed.

"I told you, she's the hollow I saw last night. Without doubt." I said and looked up into the sky. Rukia was quiet for a while and as we neared my house she stopped. I looked at her surprised.

"What's wrong?" I asked. She shook her head.

"Nothing really. But I have to talk to Urahara-san about this, it's too strange…" she said as she drifted into thought.

"what is?" I asked. She looked up at me seriously.

"She had a Reiatsu just like yours, Ichigo." She said.

-x-

"I'm back." I said as I closed the door and kicked of my shoes. I walked through the hallway to the living room and found him sitting on a chair, looking out the window. I stopped and looked at his lonely figure before I sighed and dropped my bag on the table.

"Damn, I'm tired!" I said as I stretched my back and arms. I walked over and looked out the window just like Shiro did.

Outside you could see some run down apartments and further away a small love hotel. I grinned at the thought of Shiro having fantasies but without looking I already knew his eyes didn't look at anything. Rather they didn't see anything and yet I asked.

"Are you looking at the sky? It's pretty, right?" I said not really expecting an answer. I walked across the room and over to the kitchen. From the unbelievable small fridge I picked out some vegetables. Putting them on the counter I also took out a knife, a cutting board and a small plate.

I turned around and looked at Shiro.

"Shiro, come here." I said. Instantly he got to his feet and walked over to me. I put the knife in his right hand.

"Wash the vegetables, cut them into pieces and put the pieces on the plate. Got it?" I said and without delay he got to work. I left him like that and went out to buy meat.

-x-

"Hey, ya ignoring me?" the punk said, spit flying out of his pierced mouth. I glared at him annoyed now and grinned.

"Yeah, or at least I tried to. But I guess it's impossible to shut up loud assholes such as yourself." I said and walked past the group of his buddies. So much for a calm shopping…

I stopped my pace as a hand landed on my shoulder.

"Ya think ya can just…" the guy said but stopped. As I turned to look I saw a second hand gripping the wrist of the punk.

"Leave her alone." A familiar voice said as the hand left my shoulder.

"Ya wanna fight?" the punk yelled in Kurosaki's face. And too my surprise the carrot top remained calm while the punk just got more pumped up.

"Ya saving the lil' princess? Ya think ya'r a fancy hero?" a second guy said making the bunch of morons laugh. I sighed and shook my head. Kurosaki sweat dropped.

"Actually, I'm not trying to save her…" he said as I walked up to the guy and landed a straight fist right above the guys nose.

"… but more like saving you." Kurosaki said and the guy stumbled back in shock and pain. As blood started running down the dudes face another one of them came at me. A fast kick in the groin and then a knee in the face was all I needed before I pushed him aside.

-X-

In the corner of my eye I could see Kurosaki kick a guy in the stomach, making him fall to the ground. I sighed and turned just to see a third guy come at me. I simply bent my knees and slipped past him in his fast and clumpy pace. A kick in his spine made him fall forward and down as I looked over the situation. Kurosaki was already done with his second guy. But weren't there six… I asked myself as Kurosaki yelled at me. Seconds later a baseball bat landed in the back of my head, probably swung by the guy with the nosebleed. Laughter was heard but it soon died as the guy behind me noticed the fact that my body didn't move.

I sighed and snapped my neck once before I turned to look at the guy with the bat. The fear in his eyes was just too amusing…

"Ya fucking moron." I said and grinned at him. "You honestly thought you could bring me down with that?" I asked him and stepped closer.

The guy dropped the bat and turned on his heels, leaving his buddies behind. I smiled at this, even more amused. But then I realized the fact that there was one person left standing, namely Kurosaki Ichigo.

I turned and studied his shocked face. Moments passed before he even moved.

"A-are you okay?" he asked. I sighed at his question but smiled.

"Shouldn't you know, Hollow? A hit like that doesn't hurt creatures like us, does it?" I said and turned my back to him.

"Don't think this changes anything, you're still my target." I said as I walked away.

"Who are you?" Kurosaki suddenly asked. I stopped for a moment and looked at him.

"Me?" I asked and let my eyes turn black.

"I'm your worst nightmare." I said before walking down the street with my head filled with thoughts about dinner.

-X-

I sighed and looked after the figure of the girl.

"Like that helped…" I said to myself thinking of her answer to my question. My worst nightmare, my ass.

But had she really said "creatures like us"? Does that mean she's a Vizard?

I shrugged and figured I'd talk about it with Rukia tomorrow.

I walked away from the place with an annoyed feeling hanging over me. Is a `thank you´ too much to ask for?

-X-

I walked inside and for the second time that day and kicked my shoes off. Turning at the corner I found Shiro standing where I'd left him and the vegetables done.

I put the white bag on the counter and took out a bowl. I glanced at the unmoving Shiro and pulled the meat out of the bag.

"Take out some flour and then set the table." I said and opened the package of meat with the knife. Moments later a bag of flour was on the counter.

I cut the meat into bits and rolled them in the flour and spices before putting them in the frying pan. After that I also fried the vegetables and somehow made the whole thing into a wok of some kind. I sighed at my own cooking skills but the stuff was eatable so who complained? Shiro didn't, that was for sure…

When done I served the food and sat down with Shiro, beginning another quiet dinner.

The setting sun colored the walls romantically and yet it was so cold sitting here. Together yet alone…

-x-

I couldn't have a single moment of peace, could I? From the first moment she spotted me this morning she hasn't let me out of her sight. She had been acting like a ninja all day, following me around. Not even the teacher would notice her disappearance…

"You okay?" Amu asked in a worried voice when sitting down on the grass. I sighed.

"Yeah, sorry if I'm making you worry." I said. She gave me a small smile.

"How could I not? You are…" she began but stopped. I looked at her and found her avoiding my eyes.

"You are…you know, important to me…" she said slowly as her face turned even more so red. I sighed in a smile and leaned over.

"Thanks." I said and gave her a peak on her cheek. She was so cute…

"Eh, you're making me sick." A voice was heard and seconds later Shizuya came down from a nearby tree. I glared at her.

"Then don't look!" I said, waving my hand in a Shoo-motion. You could see she didn't appreciate it.

"Well, how can I not? You are my target after all…" she said and looked at Amu.

"Besides, she reeks of hollow. Have you been climbing so much all over her or is she a hollow as well?" She said in a suspicious tone as her face grew darker. I was about to counter the comment as Amu suddenly got up. I watched her walk closer to Shizuya and for a few moments they just stood there staring at each other.

"You're right, I am a human hollow." Amu said. " That's the first thing I'm going tell you."

Shizuya frowned. Amu held up two fingers.

"Second, if you touch Ichigo in any way you will have to face me." She said as Shizuya grinned, taking it as a challenge.

"Third, I just love your hair." She said as her eyes started to sparkle. I sweat dropped.

"What?" you could hear both me and Shizuya say. Amu nodded.

"Well, my hair is curly so it's hard to dye it. Is yours natural? No, can't be. You dye it?" Amu blabbered on as I watched Shizuya become more and more uncomfortable. Amu grabbed her hands.

"Let's be friends! I have a hard time making friends lately but I'm really nice, really! I can call you Ayumi, no?" She continued. Shizuya, or as Amu would say, Ayumi made an annoyed expression.

"Let go of me!" He yelled before walking off. Amu stood frozen before turning to me with tears in her eyes.

"Did I do something wrong?" She asked. I sweat dropped and got up. Putting my hand on her head I patted it.

"You did great, I'm sure she's just nervous since it's a new school and all." A lie.

Amu frowned but nodded.

After that Shizuya disappeared for the rest of the afternoon. Rukia guessed she'd gone home. Somehow I didn't like the idea of not knowing what that girl was up to.

Minawa: I don't know, was it obvious that the "-x-" means change in POV? (point of view)

Amu: I don't care, I got to be in a second fanfiction! Yay!
