Fallen

Angel of Death

"What are you going to do with such shitty moves like those!"

Green eyes narrowed in rage, and in a flash of white and silver,  the girl landed in front of the man yelling at her. Swinging her leg around first, she tried tripping him, but he jumped over her leg. Predicting this, she swung with both her fists in a blind furry, but he dodged every swing. 

The girl grinned and flipped backwards, kicking the man in the chest, and sending him back a bit. When she landed, she stayed in a crouch, then brought her finger up to her lips. The man's eyes widened, and before the girl could do what she had been planning, the man had grabbed her hand and neck.

"Don't even try it, Sayo."

Sayo glared up at him, "Why, you think I'll beat you, Shirosaki?"

Shiro growled and put pressure on her neck, "This is just a little training, not a battle to the death. You only use that technique when necessary."

Sayo ripped her hand from his grip, then stormed away, her long silver hair flowing behind her, 'What does he know!'

Shiro watched her leave with a deep glare, "I should have gotten rid of her when I had the chance."

Sayo started to run, a certain person in her mind that she wanted to pay a visit to. 

'Only when necessary huh, Shirosaki? I'll show you necessary.' Sayo thought with a grin slowly growing on her face.

"Ichigo!" Orihime yelled when she say Shuuhei carrying the orangete to their little hiding spot at the edge of town in the woods that weren't so scary.

Shuuhei shook his head, signaling for Orihime to be quiet. Walking over to where Chad had made a small bed for Ichigo, Shuuhei laid him down then started talking with Uyru quickly and quietly. Renji was now awake and watching the orangete with a small glint of sympathy in his eyes; while Rukia tended to Renji, she talked with Orihime.

Chad just sat and watched the tree line, making sure that he kept an eye out for other people. Ten minutes flew by and Chad spotted someone walking along the tree line at least 100 feet off from where Ichigo and his group were resting.

Chad watched as the person walked closer and closer, soon he realized that she was a little girl. Rushing over, Chad took the little girl's hand, and led her to the group. Her long black hair was dirty, and her bangs shadowed her eyes. She was wearing what looked like a kimono for a small child; she was also barefoot. 

When Chad got back, the others eyed the small girl with sorrow, and suspicion. Orihime took her hand and led her over to where she had been sitting. The whole while, the girl had been watching Ichigo's sleeping figure, her eyes never leaving him.

Orihime smiled, "Do you know him?"

The little girl turned slowly to Orihime, and her eyes finally caught the light, "Yes, I do."

Orihime smiled a little more, "I like your eyes."

This time, the little girl smiled, "Thank you, I do too," as she said that, her green eyes glinted in the light.

Orihime was going to say something when she heard a groan from Ichigo's direction. The little girl looked over to see Ichigo sitting up with the help of Chad and Shuuhei.

The orangete tried shooing them away but they simply sat down on either side of Ichigo, and made sure that he wouldn't collapse.

"I'm fine now guys...I just need to sit for a bit."
