(A/N) A new story that I'm trying out and could use advice on if I should continue it or not. Thanks for reading! I'm sad that I don't own Bleach; that great honor goes to Tite Kudo. Please review!

Uryu's POV

The bell that signaled the end of class went off causing the majority of the students to rush out of the classroom. I packed my stuff up and was about to leave the classroom behind a girl with dark purple hair when I heard my name and another student's name called. "Ishida Uryu, Kasai Rikona; can you come here for a moment, please?" Unohana Sensei asked.

"I'm not in trouble; am I?" The girl with purple hair asked.

"You likely are…" I mumbled. Suddenly I felt a whack on the back of the head hard enough to knock my glasses off.

"Watch it, Four-Eyes." She snapped at me. I saw a text book in her hand and I rubbed the back of my head. "If I'm in trouble then why would you be here too?"

"Quiet, Grape Head!"

"Please stop it." Unohana Sensei gave us her look that looked sweet and kind, but scared even Zaraki Sensei.

Rikona and I immediately did as asked. I bent down and picked up my glasses and wiped them off, putting the back on. I need to remember to get her back for that.

"Rikona, you know that you've been having trouble in my class and others."

Said girl scratched the back of her neck awkwardly. "Um…yeah." She paused for a few seconds. "That still doesn't explain why Four-eyes is here." She gestured to me with her thumb and I glared at her.

"Don't call me 'Four-eyes', Grape Head."

"Don't call me 'Grape Head', Four-eyes."

"Slob!"

"Crossdresser!"

"Lazy!"

"Fag!"

"Freak show!"

"Nerd!"

"Weirdo!"

"Please stop." Unohana Sensei said. That's when I saw that Rikona's face was only a few inches from mine. I stood up straight and looked down at the shorter girl who was now standing straight herself.

Rikona fidgeted impatiently, "The reason is?"

"He's going to be your tutor." Both Rikona and my eyes bulged.

"I don't want to tutor her!"

"Why him?!" She caused a few nearby pencils to shatter into splinters and a beaker to shatter as well.

"He's the top of the class, and Uryu you have no choice. Same for you Rikona." I groaned.

"Fine." Rikona threw her hand in the air walking out of the classroom.

I looked back at Unohana Sensei, "That girl might just kill me."

The biology teacher gave a soft laugh. "Teach her to control those powers of hers better. Then you're less likely to be killed on accident."

"That makes me feel a lot better." I mumbled sarcastically. I left the classroom to find the new thorn in my side named Kasai Rikona.

OoOoOoOoO

Rikona's POV

I mumbled profanities while constantly kicking the ground to the point that there was a hole the size of a shotput ball. (A/N a shotput ball is about twice the size of a soft ball.)

I stalked around school campus until I reached a very large cherry tree. I stuffed my left foot into a notch and grabbed a lower branch with my right hand. I pulled myself up into the tree and started to climb to some of the higher branches. I laid down on a wide branch and looked up into the blossoming tree.

A breeze appeared and it made a few of the blossoms fall onto me. I picked one up and smelled it. I'm happy that I can be myself up here. Happy that no one will see the soft and gentle side of me that I hate sometimes. I thought to myself.

"Not unless they're directly under you." I jumped in surprise at the sudden voice, which in turn led to me hitting the hard earth and having the wind knocked out of me.

"What the hell, Karin?!" I yelled after I caught oxygen back into my lungs.

"Your thoughts are pretty dang loud." The young, dark haired Kurosaki stated as I just noticed the soccer ball under her arm. "I came looking for you to see if you wanted to a play a two versus two game with Ichi-nii, Toshiro, and I. You in?"

I glared at the young girl. "You ease dropped in my head, made me fall out of a tree, and didn't even ask if I was okay. What do you think my answer is?"

"Yes?" She said hopefully.

"Hell yeah! Now help me up." I held out my hand and she took it helping me up.

*Time skip for two hours*

I looked at Karin as she passed the ball my way. I caught it then dribbled it down to the single goal. Just as I was about to swing my leg to kick it in I heard my name yelled. "Kasai Rikona!" The small distraction was enough for Toshiro to kick the ball in. Meaning that the guys won. The rule was first to three wins.

I looked over to the voice that called my name and I groaned when I saw Uryu. "You made me lose Four-eyes!" I felt a reassuring pat on the back by Karin.

"We'll get them next time."

"Don't call me Four-eyes, Grape Head."

"Don't call me Grape Head, Four-eyes."

We started our shouting match, calling each other names over and over again. Toshiro stepped in between us pushing us apart. "Kasai, calm down. Same for you, Ishida."

Once we were both calm enough not to yell I asked, "What did you want, Fou…" I caught the look that Toshiro gave me and I quickly corrected myself. "I mean Uryu. What did you want, Uryu?"

"Unohana Sensei already told both of us that I need to tutor you, so come on." He grabbed hold of my wrist to drag me along, but not before I caught Ichigo making kissy faces. I flicked him off and sent him a thought. You wish.

OoOoOoOoO

Uryu's POV

I grabbed Rikona's wrist dragging her along, "Where are we going?"

"Library." I said curtly. She jerked her wrist out of my hand.

"By the way, don't manhandle me."

"Fine."

"When are you going to teach me how to control my powers?"

"After you get a least a 'B' on your next chemistry test." She grumbled. "Don't worry you're not the only one suffering."

(A/N) Message and/or review on what you think of the story so far. I'm still sad that I don't own Bleach; that honor goes to Tite Kudo.
