A/n: Well� here, we are again� This is for the few people who read this Fic. I rather wish I knew how many are enjoying it though, ah well� Remember reviews bring luck to authors and help prevent writer�s block
�Welcome home, Ichi-Nee! Rukia-Chan!� Yuzu smiled from her place in the dining area.

�Welcome home, Ichigo!�

�A-Ayame? Why are you here?� Rukia looked at the dark haired female in her hand a curling iron.

�The little miss here who works very hard at keeping this house in order has earned a bit of a pamper day!� Ayame smiled happily and finished curling the young girl�s hair.

�We have dinner for you at the other end of the table.� Yuzu said to her brother before rushing forward to take his bag. As her fingers brushed his, warmth shot down his right leg.

�What was�that?� Ichigo froze slipping his hand in his pocket feeling the clothed stone Urahara had given to him

�I can do yours too, Kuchiki-Chan.� Ayame stopped mid packing her stuff.

�N-No thank you.� She took her seat at the table picking up the boxed dinner at the end of the table.

�Does it look good Ichi-Ni?� Yuzu spun for him in a circle showing off the whole style.

�I think it�s adorable!� Ayame grabbed her belongings and set them in a bag on the corner.

�Ichi-Ni?� Yuzu reached out and grasped his hand.

�Oh! Hold it!� Ayame reached out to and straightened the girl�s head adjusting the little clips in her hair.

�HOT!� Ichigo pulled his hand from his pocket dragging the clothed stone with it and it hit the floor.

�Ichi-Ni?� Yuzu watched her brother stare at the white bundle now lying on the floor.

�There you go, fabulous again� try to sleep pretty tonight my love!� Ayame smiled proud of her handiwork and went back to finish cleaning her workspace and felt her stocking clad foot kick the material.

�Ichigo?� Rukia looked away from her food to stare at the male who hadn�t made it much further than the threshold.

�Here you go!� Ayame smiled at the orange haired male and held up the bit of cloth. �Feels like a piece of jewelry. Is it for Inoue-San?�

�Wh-what?� Suddenly his random embarrassment at the statement overrode his shock at the stone�s reaction.

�We�ve been down this road already Ichigo. I�m sure by now we already know about your feelings for the big busted girl.� She put the stone back in his hand it still was warm. Ayame slapped his shoulder giggling. �If you like her you like her. Maybe I should host a dinner for you and your friends. My house is big enough and it�ll relieve Yuzu for having to make dinner for you and Kuchiki-Chan.�

�Why would you feel the need to do that?� Ichigo shoved the cloth back into his pocket and went to the table snatching up his share of food.

�A mixer of sorts! I want to know all of your friends and�. You can openly flirt with Inoue-San and your friends would be none the wiser.�

�Ayame, mind your business!� Ichigo gritted his teeth as the doll looking girl cackled and grabbed her stuff. �Well I should get going. I have an early day ahead of me. See you, Yuzu, Kuchiki, Ichigo�� She poked him and ran out the house.

�Ichi-Nee, I didn�t know you liked Orihime-San.�

�I don�t!� He snapped and went up to his room.

�I don�t think she�s that deviant, Ishida-Kun.� Inoue said for the millionth time this day to the Quincy. �It really is a pity she�s so young.�

�Inoue-San, can we drop it please.� Ishida stopped outside of her apartment door, in his hands a bag from his favorite sewing supplies store.

�I just want you back to how you were, Ishida-Kun.� Her voice dropped dramatically in volume.

�How I-?�

�You�ve changed, Ishida-Kun.� She looked at him. �Lately these days, you have not been like you were. I know you and Kurosaki-Kun do not always get along, but you have been needlessly arguing with him. You�ve been moody and suspicious of an innocent girl above all else!�

�I don�t think-�

�Ishida-Kun, please.� She grabbed his hand. �This is why I worry so much about you not having a girlfriend. I think. I think you will finally find something to be genuinely happy about.� She stared up at him and he just stared back at her. A moment more and he pulled his hand back and turned adjusting his glasses.

�I�m not sure of these changes you observe, but I consider all that had happened and see for myself. Good night, Inoue-San.� he started to descend the stairs of her apartment building.

�Good night, Ishida-Kun.� She called.

�Different�� He muttered halfway home. �If only she knew how I felt about her she would understand why I can�t stand Kurosaki-Kun, and moody.�

�Oh come on Ariel, I know you just said something to me.� A hopeless whine caught his attention. �Come on, I know you guys have been trying to wake up, but the sooner you do, the sooner the others will.�

�There she is again�� He looked in the direction of the whiney voice grating on his eardrums at the current moment. Before him was the girl of his obvious suspicion. Today she was dressed in an all while dress of frill and lace. Her hair was in its usual glossy ringlets with a white band of lace on her crown. In her arms, her doll lay limply as she shook it. �Talking to her doll?� He thought spying beside her a bag that continued the white scheme.

�Ariel� oh. Maybe it not time yet.� She sighed defeated and it was then she spied Ishida. �Hey, it�s Ichigo�s friend. Hi, friend of Ichigo.�

�It�s Ishida.� Ishida looked at her. �And I am hardly that bastard�s friend.�

�Oh.� The smile she plastered on her face faltered slightly. �Well, Ichigo has a bold personality. It seems in a way so do you. Every time I see you both you�re arguing. How can two bold personalities get along easily, Hm?� She looked at the sky and sighed. �Are you heading home?�

�It seems so.�

�Oh.� She dug in her bag with her right hand holding the doll with her left and froze on the spot.

�Hallow�� He watched her, by now knowing when she froze like that�

�Oh silly me!� She stood and knocked herself on her head. �I forgot something important at Ichigo�s house. I need to go back and get it!� She promptly closed her bag and walked toward him. �Well, I guess I�ll see you the next time we run into each other.� Right as she passed him, she jerked backwards.

�It�s not safe for girls to walk the streets alone this time of night.� He held fast. �Monsters might come out an eat you.�

�I-I�ll be fine against the monsters� I have Ariel.� She held up the doll.

�OR will you be fine because you are controlling these monsters?� His glasses no longer showed his eyes but took a reflective gleam from the streetlights.

�C-controlling? Oh, I couldn�t control anything. It�s why I don�t plan to procreate. Doubt I could control my kids.� She laughed nervously trying to wrench her hand from her grip.

�I�m onto you.� He looked at her closer.

�Wh-what?� She looked at him.

�That day at the school, since then it�s been about you. You show up and things turn worst.� He was starting to look as if he had lost his mind. �YOU brought the Hallow here.�

�Uhm� Ishida-San, you�re hurting me.� She was looking at him slightly terrified.

�You were the reason Inoue-San nearly got hurt seriously.�

�Since you showed up at all, things have been getting stranger and stranger.�

�Ishida-San, PLEASE!� She finally pulled her bruising wrist out of his grasp, just as the ever-familiar roar filled the area. Ayame was white as a sheet as she looked upward at the monsters in the air. She took a step back her whole body trembling so hard she could barely move.

�I knew it. Where you are they appear!�

�I-I-I��

�Hm!� He chuckled. His composure returned to him as he adjusted his glasses. With his usual flair and finesse, a capsule made its way to the ground and dispersed its blue light around her. When the smoke cleared there she was, subdued by threads of his Quincy reiatsu.

�Let me go! It won�t end well if you don�t!� She screamed words at him, words that fell on deaf ears. Like he would fall for that. His usual confidence was returning, now having the proof he needed: this female was behind it all. Without a moments thought he produced his bow and made ready to attack, but the arrows would not come.

�What�.�

�Let me go! You can defeat them if I go!� She screamed her face now wet with tears, she didn�t even notice her prison around her fading fast. She watched him move to attack again and again each time failing, and finally his bow vanished as well and he�d barely managed to dodge the attacks coming from the four hallow.

�What did you-� He looked at her finally her prison around her vanished, bit of blue clung to her hair and clothing before seeming to soak into her.

�Look out!� She screamed and an air of energy forced him to slide back. Soon it was obvious, his abilities to fight and dodge were missing, his consciousness followed.

�I�ve got to get away from him!� She glanced between the Hallow and Ishida who was taking a brutal beating. She turned and took off running Ariel clutched tightly to her chest; not even five steps away she felt a searing pain across her back. The force of the attack pushed her forward, ruining her dress and scraping her face. She pushed herself up on her knees; attempting to get up. She made it onto her feet quite wobbly before raising her head to see one of the Hallow before her.

�Die�� It hissed another pain burned the nerves on the front of her body. She was going down, and fast as her world turned to black.

�MOMMA!�

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

�Ishida.�

�Someone� is calling me�?�

�Ishida, are you okay? Oi! Ishida!� A face came into view. The first thing he was able to discern was orange�.no�.

�Stop yelling, my hearing is fine.� Ishida blinked a couple of times.

�What the hell happened?!?� Ichigo yelled to the dismay of the still discombobulated Quincy.

�Your cousin-�

�Ishida.� Rukia spoke to him sternly, as if she knew the words ready to leave his mouth before they made their move.

�Ayame.� Ichigo looked into the distance; following his gaze Ishida felt something in his core turn to ice. She was gravely injured. What kind of person lets their subordinates nearly kill them to prove a point? The kind that didn�t have subordinates, he concluded.

�Inoue is on her way.� Rukia offered as he stared at the bloodied girl with what ordinarily would be obscene amounts of flesh exposed, as her white dress was tattered and inches away from her, her doll lying lifeless. In its own horrifying way, it painted its own bleak picture of beauty: two dolls, broken and beaten in their own small puddle of crimson that stained white.

�Kurosaki-kun!� Inoue finally came to the scene and gasped at the girl before kneeling, making quick work of the barely breathing doll.

�Twice.� Ichigo said not yet having moved from his spot on the ground.

�Excuse me?�

�Twice when I could normally count on you to protect people�� Ichigo stood his gaze fixated on the girl in white. �Twice you�ve fizzled out. If something is wrong with your powers, you know we�d rather know. We�d compensate in some form or other for you.�

�There�s nothing wrong with my-� Ishida froze when Ichigo looked at him.

�Your Reiatsu is being severely repressed. More than usual.� Ichigo spoke softly. �Rukia and I didn�t even realize you were here, fighting, until we got here.� He was looking at Ishida again. �At first we thought you were dying with how low it was, But Rukia noticed� Your injuries were minor enough for her to heal, so if you weren�t dying� it must be your power.�

�There�s nothing wrong.�

�Ayame-Chan, wait, I�m not done healing your injuries!� Inoue screeched. The girl in white had pushed herself to her knees crawling away. The scratch on her front now gone but her moving about irritated the deep gashes on her back.

�I have to move away from him.� She murmured. �If he dies I�m responsible� If he dies I�m responsible.� She felt her arms wobbling beneath her. �It will be my fault.� She stopped when a foot blocked her path.

�You really should be a good girl and let them fix you.�

�Urahara-Sama�� She raised her head to look at the man whose eyes shadowed by his hat, as usual. The corners of her mouth rose slightly before she collapsed unconscious again.
