Title: Tainted Reiatsu

Rating: T

Summary: Ishida has been sleepwalking and nobody, not even him, knows why. But when he attacks a friend because of this, then things get hectic. Can they find out what's wrong before things get fatal?

Pairings: none.

Ishida blinked himself awake and looked around his surroundings. He wasn't in his room anymore; he was lying on his living room floor. He sat up and reached under his glasses to rub his eyes.

This wasn't the first time he had woken up with his glasses on when he fell asleep with them off, nor was it the first time he woke up somewhere other then his bed. He knew he had been sleepwalking for a while now, about two weeks to be exact. It wasn't a problem though so he didn't bother to do anything about it. It was just harmless sleepwalking. Nothing more.

He stretched out his stiff muscles and walked back to his bedroom to get dressed for school.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ochi sensei continued to drone on about the lesson but Ishida wasn't hearing it. This was the part that was concerning him. Everyday at around the same time since his sleepwalking began he always ended up with an excruciating headache.

Since they've begun they were only getting worse. Every time he took a painkiller though, nothing happened. It was as though he hadn't done anything at all. This was what concerned him the most.

Someone speaking to him broke him from his reverie.

"Oi, Ishida. It's time to break for lunch."

Ishida looked up at the orange-haired shinigami and nodded to show he had heard. Ichigo just stood there as Ishida gathered his things for lunch and stood up himself, holding his forehead in one hand.

Ichigo opened his mouth to ask his friend if he was all right, but before he could get the words out Ishida punched the nearby wall hissing in pain.

"What's the matter with you? That looks like something I would do." Ichigo asked in shock.

Uryu returned his hand to his forehead and hissed again before answering.

"I've got a headache."

Ichigo looked on with concern before asking:

"Did you take any medicine for it?"

Uryu shook his head 'no' and went on to explain.

"I've tried taking painkillers for it, but none of them work. Even if I take pills for it, it's as though I didn't do anything at all."

Ichigo nodded his head to show he was listening and remained silent just in case Ishida continued. When he said nothing Ichigo decided to break the silence.

"You should probably see a doctor for that. It's really all the advice I can offer."

Ishida glanced at him then averted his gaze again.

"I should, but doctors visits are expensive and I don't have insurance. I can't afford to see a doctor right now." The Quincy explained.

Ichigo's eyebrows furrowed at this and he folded his arms.

"Well, why not have my dad check on you then? He's a doctor and I'm sure he won't mind checking you for free."

Ishida glanced at him again and smiled weakly.

"If it's alright, then just give me a time and date and I'll go." he said gratefully.

Ichigo grinned before answering.

"Today after school. No reason to endure pain unless you have to."

Ishida agreed and both boys relocated to join their friends on the roof.

Isshin placed his stethoscope on the nearby desk and sighed in resignation.

"I've tried everything I can think of and I can't find anything wrong with you. You're as healthy as they come except that your blood pressure is a little low." the older Kurosaki stated.

"That isn't news to me. I was born with low blood pressure." Ishida explained as the start of another headache gnawed it's way into existence.

Ichigo's eyebrows furrowed in concentration. Something wasn't right.

Uryu thanked Isshin for checking him before saying goodbye to Ichigo and returning home. Ichigo watched him go and knew something was up.

I'm going to have to remember this. The orange head thought before returning inside and retreating to his room to the homework that undoubtedly awaited him.
