Blinded By The Light

'I guess I have another long day ahead of me' I said to myself as I walked down the stairs to open up shop. Keeping a tight grip on the railing. I held my breath like I always do when walking down stairs, because of my fear of falling and never stopping. I'm usually scalding myself that it's my fault I'm blind and that I shouldn't feel sorry for myself by fearing thin-air. But today I just too bored to bother.

It was around 10 a.m. on a Saturday when Uryu ishida checked his watch and positioned his glasses back up his nose and began walking when the sign signaled it. He was thinking about what animal orihime would like for her birthday. He spent most of the walk thinking about how lonely she must be all by herself. So he and ichigo decided they both would get her an awesome gift this year. So he made his way into the local pet shop. As he walked in his first glance wasn't at the animals in isles surrounding him, but they young girl with shoulder length curly black hair with blonde tips. He began walking towards her desk.

I pushed the button on the clock and the computer voice said it was a little after 10 and I heard a ding at the door and curiosity struck me. I could sense that it was a young male with a slight feeling of hesitation like he had an uneasy feeling being in my shop. Still I wanted to find out what he was doing so I didn't look up until he walked up to my desk.

'Excuse me ' he said then when he saw my eyes he couldn't contain an "oh my"

I just smiled and asked what he needed.

Uryu didn't expect the owner of a pet store to be blind. He almost jumped out of his shoes when he noticed the pale green rings around her faded pupils. A lot of thoughts ran through his mind one of them was 'this chick must be insane.' he even thought he might have heard growling from the back room. But it all left his mind when he looked at her smiling face when she looked up and asked what he needed. And didn't seem to be effected by his little outburst.

I didn't really put much thought into it when I opened up the shop that people would be surprised I was blind. But I overlooked that and stood up to walk around him.

'What pet would u like?' I asked

'It's for a friend.' he explained it was her birthday and he thought a pet maybe a dog or a cat would help her since she lived alone.

I stopped and smiled at him and said' to narrow this down whets she like?'

He stopped and thought for a second and replied' she has a bubbly personality and a optimistic attitude an-'

I cut him off' I think she needs a collie'

Uryu didn't quite understand how she knew exactly what orihime needed. He asked if she had a collie at the shop and she gladly led him into the backroom. He heard the growls again. And didn't exactly for sure know if he wanted to ask what was making them.

I sensed he was uneasy once more and I heard Harumika growling so I looked over my shoulder and assured him .' don't worry about harumika she may be a tiger but she's gentle.'

The sudden gasp from the boy confirmed that the look on his face would be priceless.

I led him to the back where the dogs were and brought out a collie and he asked what the price was. I smiled and explained that this one is a rescue pet who deserves a home so I gave him the dog for free. He was dumbfounded.

'I was right, this chick is insane' he thought to himself. But saw that even though she was blind he never saw as much emotion in anyone else's eyes that could see, he made a mental note to think about that late. He accepted her offer and adopted the pet. As he was walking out holding the adorable little fur ball he looked back and saw the girl with curly locks feeding a cobra and talking to it. It looked like she was calming it down after it tried to strike her but...missed...

again I wished I could have seen his face when I offered the collie puppy for free because many people have wanted but thought it was too expensive for just fifty bucks, which was lowest I could go because I knew that if this dog didn't get a home fast it wouldn't grow up gentle. I sensed he had a good heart and that he trusted this orihime so I let him have it for free and told him that when she wanted to name him to come by and id make the tag for it.

orihime loved her puppy and told Uryu she wanted to name it 'prince' so he offered that the next time has walking by the pet shop heed gather the tag. She was ecstatic at the gifts uryu and ichigo got her. ichigo got her a touch iPod with already over a hundred songs downloaded.

The next day uryu walked to the door of the pet shop he had been to the day before for the name tag for orihime. And because he wanted to see that strange girl again.

I eagerly waited for the boy to come through the door. Everything he did made my curiosity stretch higher. The door dinged as he walked up to my desk and once again said 'excuse me.' I looked up smiling even wider than yesterday because he seemed not so surprised about my inability to see. And said he needed a tag that would fit the name 'prince'

Now that he knew what to expect it was allot easier to approach her desk and ask for a name tag. When he saw her smile was brighter than yesterday he felt sort of ashamed he was glad she couldn't see him blush. He just couldn't put his finger on the feeling he got around this stranger that seemed to comfortable around just about anything. she said she had to get the tag displays from upstairs so she walked up the steps and about five minutes later he went and looked up the stairs and saw her slowly trying to walk down. So he ran up to her to offer his hand to help her down.

I was embarrassed that this stranger saw me terrified. I silently cursed myself for such a childish fear. But I could feel my face warm up and knew I was blushing like crazy when he offered me his hand to help walk me down the stairs. But I declined and before I could take a step down I was in his arms going down the stairs. I nearly freaked from being off the grown and being this close to someone I had just realized I was attracted to. With every step I could feel his muscles flexing on my back and under my legs and blushed even harder. And I thought I heard a low gentle chuckle

When he knew this girl was under stress just by going down stairs he thought back to the smiling face earlier. 'She can become that venerable by just the thought of falling when she was so carefree? 'He asked himself. He offered her his hand to guide her down but he could see the fear in her face and didn't take 'no' for an answer to helping her down. when he looked at her and saw she was blushing in an innocent way he couldn't help but chuckle and felt an overwhelming feeling when he accidently smelt her hair...'strawberries?' he wondered in his thoughts.

When we got to the last step he put me down. I shyly said thank you. But before I would walk away he caught my hand and pulled me close. I lowered my face a little but he whispered 'can I look?' and with that lifted my chin with his index finger and thumb. I knew his face was pretty close because I could feel and hear his deep, slow breathing.

At that moment Urdu wanted nothing more than to kiss her. So he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers causing her to gasp in surprise. He turned his head sideways to deepen the kiss. He found out he could taste a bit of her lip gloss which turned him on more and his kiss turned hungrier.

The way he kissed sent chills up my spine and made me want to be closer to him so I wrapped my arms around his neck and let him put his hands on my hips. I slid my hands down his arms to his hands and felt something like a chain with something dangling from it on his left wrist so I traced it to find what felt like a cross with a ring on it. I gasped and my eyes flew open and I pulled away looked at him.

'You're a quincey?' I whispered.

'What?' he answered exasperated.

Before he could do or say anything I rushed him to the door and locked him out and ran up the stairs to my room.

Taken by surprise that this girl seemed to know what a 'quincey' was intrigued him. He knew the only person who would have answers was kiskue urahara.
