Chapter 9

It was a brisk Monday morning as everyone got ready for school. Hannah got dressed as it was her freshmen year, after her breakfast she brushed her teeth and droved to Natalia's place to pick her up. Natalia was in the dining room eating her breakfast, contemplating about school, what would it be like and how will she fit in. and hopes no one asked her about her powers. as Hannah arrived, she knocked on the door and natalia opened it to see her best friend."hey ready for our freshmen year?" said Hannah . "as ready as I'll ever be..." natalia responded. as they walked to the car they got in form opposite sides. once they were in and had their seat belts on Hannah started the car and droved school. "hey Hannah a thought occurred to me" natalia said looking at her then looking towards the window. "oh really? what's that?" Hannah asked. "how are you able to learn how to drive a car so fast when your only fifteen years old?" natalia said as she continued to look out the window.

As Hannah was looking at the road she said "well, i got a lot of practice done in heuco mundo. since through out my life I've had training to become either a soul reaper or an arrancar. my parents thought, i start to learn how to drive at an early age so that way and focused on more important things in life". "so i see..." natalia said staring off in to they arrived at school, Hannah goes to the student parking lot and look for place to park. after she parked the car, they got out and natalia started to see a really hot guy that looked almost exactly like ichigo. Natalia has a secret crush on ichigo, but she knows that she cant have him because he's with orihime. "hey Hannah do know that boy over there" said natalia talking to Hannah she point in the direction of where the look-a-like ichigo was, the boy had jet black hair, blue eyes. as he's hair was spiked up and he wore the uniform cuz he was also a freshmen. "hmm? oh that's kaito kuroshigawa, he's a freshen just like us." Hannah responded.

"he's new here?" natalia asked. "nope, he started school here last week" Hannah said. but then she looked at natalia then back at kaito. "wait a minute you like kaito" she said to her best friend. natalia looked away slightly blushing. "w-what?! i dont know what your talking about...okay maybe i do..but i dont know. if he would like a girl like me. and you know that I've been trying real hard to control my demon side." said natalia. "dont worry, I've been friends with him since we were six years old." Hannah said."and you didn't tell me at all?" natalia said raising an eye brow. "you didn't ask" Hannah said as she held her bag and started walking. "okay you have a point there" natalia said as she was walking with Hannah then looked back to see kaito. when kaito caught a glimpsed of the new girl he smiled and waved to her. natalia blushed as she thought "omg! he saw me". she smiled nervously and waved back.

Then quickly looked away and catched up with Hannah. as they got to the halls natalia saw ichigo with his friends along with orihime. "oh hey natalia, i didn't know you were starting school here" said ichigo. "yup...it's nice to see you again ichigo. and you must be orihime. its a pleasure to finally meet you" said natalia being polite as possible. "its nice to meet you too natalia" said orihime sweetly. natalia kind of sensed that orihime was pregnant due to the fact that she looks a bit bloated and her clothes barely fit her."orihime are you hiding something?" natalia asked. orihime looked worried and thought to herself " did she already figure out that I'm pregnant?". "what makes you say that?" asked orihime nervously. "well you look like your in the early stage of pregnancy" said natalia. "how did you figure that out?" asked uryuu. "i sensed it." natalia said. "the thing that you dont know about Hannah and natalia is that they have powers just like us. natalia is part human and part demon but she also helps the soul reapers with missions when they are short on people.. Hannah is half soul reaper and half arrancar" said ichigo clearly that up.

Natalia kind of gave ichigo the evil eye as if she was saying "thanks a lot for telling them my secret idiot". "so wait Hannah, how can you be part arrancar?" asked uryuu. "well, my parents are captain unohana and lord aizen. they had a secret relationship that soon got out. but now they are divorced" said Hannah explaining. all of them were shocked to hear that. natalia saw that orihime was scared about having the baby."listen orihime, i know we just met and all but. if you need advice I'll be more than glad to help you" said natalia being a good friend. "aww thanks natalia. you know i can already tell that we will be fast friends. in fact we are now friends" said orihime with a smile. "r-really that soon? dont you want to get know each other better?" said natalia. "dont worry we'll have plenty of time for that" she said looking at natalia super cheerful. "hey natalia if you want i can show you around the school" said ichigo offering his help.

"um...okay, thanks ichigo" said natalia with a smile. as they all left in different directions to go to class. ichigo and senna act childish and avoid each other, they slowly move on as ichigo and orihime start to fall in love again as senna and shinji start to fall each other. When natalia went to her English class, she saw kaito again. she was really scared, she didn't know what to do or what to say to him. kaito sees natalia goes up to her. "hello miss" said kaito as looked at her with a smile."h-hi.." said natalia as she was nervous. "I'm Kaito Kuroshigawa." he said offering his hand to shake hers. "I'm Natalia Bradshaw" she said as she shooked his hand. "where are you form?" he asked her. "I'm form New York" she responded.

Of course she wouldn't ask the same question because she knew that kaito was already form Japan. "dont take it this offensively but, you look exactly like ichigo kurosaki. well except the hair color, eye color and the hair style." said natalia. "none taken and yes i do get that a lot. most people around this school call me and ichigo twins ha-ha" said kaito chuckling a they got to know each other Natalia clamed down and started to feel like she can open up to him. but she takes it slow. she had heart broken before and she doesn't want to let it happen again. once class started, kaito sat next to her. she was blushing a tint red. she couldn't believe that he was sitting next to her. as she tried to focus in class, at the corner of her eye she saw that kaito was looking at her. but when she looked at him he acted like he was focusing. she silently giggled, and continued to pay attention in class. after class was done she met up with orihime again with senna. according to the story that Hannah told her.

Orihime and senna are really good friends. but after the party incident she wasn't sure if they were still friends. "hey orihime." natalia said friendly. "oh hey natalia. I'd like you too meet my friend senna." orihime said nicely. it was true that senna and orihime were not friends anymore because of the incident but they put aside their difference for the sake of each other and for the baby. "hi natalia its nice to meet you" said senna."like wise" natalia responded nicely with a smile as they shooked hands. so far Natalia's day has been pretty good, she met a lot of people, met up with some old friends and already made fast friends with ichigo's friends. later that day she saw orihime and senna together alone slightly worried. natalia gives advice to orihime and senna about their lives, orihime and senna both realized that natalia is good friend to them.

They can always go to her for advice. she's like the person they can trust with their problems. eventually natalia became friends with everyone on her first day. she thought this was the fastest friendship she's ever had. it took her about six weeks to get to know hannah and soon they became best friends. When lunch time came, everyone expanded through out the school going to their hang out spots to eat lunch. natalia was invited to eat lunch with kaito and his freinds. hannah decieded to skip lunch and go up to the rooftop and think about her life. as she got their she saw uqluiorra, her first guess was that he came to hurt her friends but as she got a closer look she saw that he was heartbroken and depressed than goes up to him and sit right next to ulquiorra and asks him what happened. he does not want to talk and tells her to leave him alone, but hannah was worried about him that she couldn't just leave him alone, so she places her hand on his chest and read his mind. hannah felt so sorry for him that she wanted to help by be close to ulquiorra.

She tells ulquiorra that she want to be his angel and holds him tight in her arms. then ulquiorra, looks at her with the compassion, thinks that someone actually cared for him after all the things that happened at the party and slowly opens up towards hannah. hannah confesses her love to uqluiorra and he realized that after all this time she was the one cared for him. he started to smile and hugged hannah. she blushed a tint red as she hugged him back. then when they gently pulled away, he slowly went close to her and kissed her gently on the spends most of lunch break with ulquiorra as they got to each other better. then they decided to keep their love a secret for now because hannah was afraid to tell her father and mother that she was dating ulquiorra. When her lunch break was almost over she said her goodbyes to uqluiorra as he kissed her goodbye when natalia was looking for hannah she sensed her presence she looked at the rooftop and saw ulquiorra leaving while looking at hannah.

Her impression was that he was convincing her to be evil but hannah would never stoop to his level. as natalia waited for hannah by the staris hannah got starteld. "so what did want?" natalia asked. "oh natalia you scared me" said hannah. "you didnt answer my question, why was he here" she asked again. "when i went to the rooftop to be alone, i saw him very depressed than usual. so i stayed and comforted him...then...um..." said hannah. "then what?" said natalia. "we kissed." hannah said. "you what?!" she said shocked."we kissed, it sort of happened. and i liked it." hannah said a bit smiling. "so what now are you two going to be dating?" natalia asked. claming down. "yes, but for now its a secret and you cant tell anyone" said hannah. "dont worry i promise i wont tell" said natalia. "oh by the way natalia, how was lunch with kaito?" hannah asked. natalia blushed slightly. "how did you know about that?" natalia asked. "i saw you with him when i was on the rooftop" hannah said. "kaito is really sweet, i've never met a guy like him." said natalia acting a bit girly.

"thats sweet. who knows maybe on valentines day he'll accept your gift." said hannah. "what do you mean by that?" she asked. "kaito only accepts gifts form the person he loves and cares about the most." hananh explained. natalia looked slighly down with her bangs over her eyes. "d-do you think its posssible that i could be his true love" natalia asked. "maybe, just give it time. and let nature take its course." said hannah as she placed her hand on her they went to their math class natalia saw kaito again. she was curious to his class schedule. when she went over to him she and him exchanged a nice conversation. then when she asked to take a look at his schedule she saw that she and kaito have five classes together. and hannah was in three classes with him. natalia was happy that she had same classes with around two o'clock school gets out and everyone goes to the park and hang out.

Natalia invites kaito with them but had to decline because he was going do some training with shinji and keigo at kisuke's shop. natalia has a werid feeling that kaito is hiding something. hannah also suspects something as well but couldnt quite figure it out. as they hung out at the park it seemed clam but then the sky ripped open very wide as tons of hollows appeared. "what the hell is going on?!" said ichigo."its been while since i last saw this many hollows" said uryuu. "all that matters now is that we need to kill them" said hananh. natalia summoned up her scythe, "lets kill these fuckers down" said natalia. most of them were shocked that natalia was very prepared for situations like this. they all split up in different directions. orihime stayed behind with chad guarding her. " scream kurotsugishi!" said hannah as she released her zanpato. a bright lazer red appeared as it slashed thrity hollows at once. everyone was impressed.

With one move natalia kills half of the hollows. everyone was very impressed. orihime watned to help but ichigo told her that she has to take it easy for the sake of their child. orihime felt useless in the fight, she wanted to help but knows that she cant get hurt other it will effect the baby and end up having a miscarrage. shinji, keigo, kaito and the others feel this huge presnce but they were to far away to handle it. "what is this presence that i'm feeling" thought looked at kaito and thought "could he feel this too? what kind of guy is he? could he be a soul reaper?". as they try to keep it normal as possible. shinji and keigo make up an excuse to leave and help ichigo and the others. "um.. we'll be right back. i forgot that keigo and i need to do some shopping for our girlfriends" said shinji. keigo nodded as they both ran for the locker room changed in to their soul reaper forms and ran out the window.

back at the park ichigo and the others finish the remaining hollows but there's more coming. shinji and keigo had arrived and ready to help. shini and keigo combined their powers creating a huge amount of spirutal energy which killed all the hollows at once. "what squad are you form hannah?" asked ichigo. "i'm in squad twleve. it was kind of creepy though mayuri wanted to make me he's test subject but my mom obejcted to the idea" said hannah. uryuu's face lite up because that means that hannah can be he's love can send secret love letters to nemu through hannah so they wouldnt get in trouble. after they defeated the hollows, orihime ran to ichigo and hugged them for doing a great job. "i know our child will be a great soul reaper just like you" she said kissing him. as he blushed brightly he kisses her and said "well our child will be just as sweet as you". hannah hopes that she'll see uqluiorra again real soon. since now she's living with her she was once alive she dated this guy named Logan mitsugiwa, but her heard was shattered when she found that he cheated on her with her best friend. way before she knew natalia. but it seemed like her heart was healing at last. going to school seemed like a total success. the only obstacle is try to keep up with assignments for orihime.
