Uryu's POV

I noticed and my situation and my position were very bad. I couldn't stay here.

I raced away from the hollow that I was fighting. It was getting close enough that my bow was hard to use effectively. I needed to get some distance. I could shoot and kill it from farther away.

So here I was running a bit not far but a bit from this hollow. I hope that Kurosaki doesn't see this he will never let me forget it.

The hollow was running towards me and this one was fast, much faster than I was.

Oh, this was bad. My running was simply keeping me alive not gaining me any distance.

I wasn't being very careful since I was starting to panic I will admit. I was losing distance.

I never noticed the rock that was in my path. I tripped over it and it was that moment that my friend found me.

At least I think so cause I couldn't see him or anything much really.

Either my glasses had broken from the fall or had fallen off, both were bad. I really hoped that they hadn't broken, I wasn't a big fan of getting new ones. They were really kinda expensive.

I sat up and kept an arrow ready if it tried to come near me again. I stayed in the same place and waited. The thing would come at me and I would shoot several arrows at it. Then I would find my glasses.

I heard Kurosaki start to fight the hollow. It was good timing, I hadn't been killed that was always going to be a plus.

I could hear him fight it for a few minutes till I could tell he had finished the hollow off. I heard him walk away or at least that is what I thought had happened.

"Here, Ishida. You need these don't you." He told me a few minutes later as he handed me something. I felt them and realized that they were my glasses. He had picked up and given me my glasses.

"Yeah, I really do. Thanks, Kurosaki. Is there any chance you aren't going to tell anyone about this?" I asked him hopefully I really didn't want people to know how much I needed them.

"Would it damage your quincy pride or something?" He asked as he left the scene. Leaving me wondering if he would tell anyone about this encounter. His response allowed either to happen.

The next day at school I found a package wrapped in brown paper in my desk. It was labeled to me from Kurosaki. I was curious but apprehensive. Nothing special was on this day to my knowledge.

I unwrapped it after school at home and saw a package of contacts and a sticky note with a message.

Hey, Ishida, They are your prescription I got it from Urahara who seems to have boundless info on everyone. If your sight is as bad as it seemed last night when you lost your glasses you shouldn't risk it when fighting. These should help. - Ichigo Kurosaki

I could try them out, he was right that using glasses was a big risk.
