Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach.

Blind Part 1

Secret

Uryuu was walking to school with no one since he likes to be alone. In many ways he knows he would rather walk with someone or even friends. Though, he doesn't have any except Kurosaki and his friends. He didn't even want to be close to the orange head, but he has to admit that he wanted friends. Uryuu does have a lot of time to himself than anything.

A sigh escaped his lips thinking about the test that was coming up in class once he got there. Ishida never slept in before, but yesterday he had something that needed to be done. No one knows what he does so late he's been late to school lately during the passed month an a half. Ryuuken is putting a lot of pressure on him even more lately with everything. Yet, he still holds good grades within this year of school.

He can't share anything with anyone at the moment. Uryuu doesn't want anyone to know that he's lying about his age just so he can do what he has to. Uryuu looked at Ichigo, Orihime, Renji, Chad, Rukia, Tatsuki, and Toshiro once he was in front of the building. Orihime looked at his way waving her hand in the air signaling that she knows you're there. Renji looked at Uryuu seeing that he was too late.

"Hey, Uryuu, you're too late school is over." Ichigo said with one of his hands on his hip.

"How could that be? I calculated my time and everything to get here before that. I suppose miscalculated something." Uryuu said with his left hand upon his glasses.

Renji put a hand on his shoulder. "You sure did miss a hard test, Uryuu."

"It probably wasn't that hard." Uryuu stated starting to walk off the school grounds getting out of Renji's grasp. Everyone looked at each other wondering what has gone over the strict man. Ishida has been leaving them all baffeled lately since is the only known time that he was absent for the whole school day. He didn't want this to happen he missed a very important test. Uryuu went to the park to settle upon a bench to think about everything that was happening lately.

Maybe I have put too much on my plate, for myself to handle. Uryuu stated within his thoughts now looking at the sky. If only the clouds could speak back to me. Maybe they'll have a clue of what is best for me. Uryuu stated within his thoughts once more watching as the clouds drift by. He then heard a voice in front of him stating, "Is this seat taken beside you or is it reserved?"

"No, it's not taken it or even reserved." Uryuu responded back now looking toward the voice of the person. In the direction stood a man with brown skin with white glasses across his eyes. Uryuu was taken aback from how the man looked, but he averted his eyes to not be rude. The other man sat down beside Ishida. This was pretty awkward for Uryuu since he doesn't normally have people sit next to him.

After a minute of having his eyes averted back to the sky, he found his eyes tracing back to the man beside him. The man was sitting peacefully quiet bringing out a bag of food out to eat. He feels as if the man doesn't even notice what's going on around him, but he knows that's the wrong way to go. Uryuu wishes he had the luxury like the man beside him. Uryuu stood up ready to leave the park behind him for the day.

Uryuu started walking away from the park bench to where the other man was still sitting at. Uryuu made a quick glance back to the man that seemed oblivious to the world around him. Ishida took his eyes away from him knowing how rude he was being toward the other. Yet, when he was halfway out of the park his mind started to trail away again to yesterday that made him so late for school. He forced his mind back into the reality was laid before him for the day.

Uryuu went into his direction of his home watching everything around him. In the way to his home he went to the coffee shop to get a carry out one to make sure he gets some energy for the night that's going to be ahead of him. He's hoping he gets enough sleep for the night. After he got his coffee he went to his home which was in an apartment complex on the top floor.

He sighed while walking up to the elevator to get to his apartment. Inside the elevator he looked at the numbers pressing the highest number. I have to get things around for later. He thought hearing the door open on the floor which he needs to go on. He walked out of the elevator having two little girls run passed him to get into the elevator. "Mommy, mommy! Hurry up!" One of the little girls screamed toward their mother.

"I'm coming just hold up the elevator!" Mother shouted back locking the door behind her. She started walking toward the elevator when the door started to close which Uryuu opened it once more. The mother ran toward the elevator and got into the elevator. "Thank you, Uryuu." Then the door to the elevator closed to let the mother and children go down so they could leave.

Uryuu walked on going to his apartment reaching into his pocket to get the key to unlock the door. Ishida opened the door to his apartment seeing the plain walls as he walks in. He sat down with his little bit of coffee left in his carry out cup drinking the last bit of it going over to his couch. In just a few moments he fell asleep with his head tilted back and slowly slipping to sleep.

Within a few moments he heard an alarm coming from his room. He stood up heading out of the livingroom to get to the room and turn it off. Ishida got his duffelbag and started stuffing it with an outfit. He sighed not really wanting anything to do with this, but he has to unless he wants to show his face to his father again. Uryuu started heading out of the apartment complex once more to head to work.

Within an hour he was at work after walking about three miles. He looked at the sign above the door to the back reading "Taste" while seeing the bodyguard move aside so that he could go in. Uryuu walked in seeing people get around to perform then a girl went up to him. "Hey, Uryuu, you're going up next after Szayel. So, I suggest you get ready in a hurry." She then ran off with someone else coming up towards him while he was heading towards his spot in front of the mirror getting around.

"Why, didn't anyone call me?" Uryuu said with frustration in his tone.

"Because we knew you would come on time." Someone said behind Uryuu.

Uryuu turned around while he was applying his lipstick. "Urahara, I'm sorry I didn't know I had to come in early."

"It's all right. I already knew that you were going to come on time. I'm just happy that the owner doesn't stop in that often or you'll be toast for just today." Kisuke said drawing out his fan.

Uryuu once he was done applying his make-up carefully, he was going to glitter the sides of the dark blue wig he just took out of his duffelbag. Uryuu looked at the wig and brushed it carefully as well. With that he started glittering the sides with a little bit of glitter. "I still would've liked it if I could have been warned on the fact that I had to come in early!" Uryuu stated frustratedly now putting on the wig brushing it again.

Kisuke looked at Uryuu with hungry eyes which Uryuu wasn't worried about at the moment since he was busy trying to get a dress on his body. A dress that matched his shoes perfectly. He made his own outfit that was light blue and white. He thought that it would be perfect for what he would have to do tonight. His shoes are heeled which took him awhile to get used to wearing. His light blue strip on the front of his dress starts from the chokehold of the dress around his neck having a necklace in the front, with the blue strip going all the way to the bottom of the dress, making a split of the blue strip going around the dress. The dress even having a slit on the right side of the dress that goes up to his mid thigh. He put the white gloves on his arms with them ending toward his shoulder. His side bang on his left side into a braid. His heels are two inches off the ground with them blue like the gloves, a darker shade though.

"Uryuu, you're going to look great tonight." A voice came from the curtain that had came from the person that was on stage before Uryuu's turn.

"I thank you for your compliment, but I don't need your approval, Szayel." Uryuu said with a glare going Szayel's way.

Szayel chuckled. "Well, it seems that Kisuke agrees."

Uryuu looked at Kisuke. "Shouldn't you be calling me onto the stage, Urahara?"

"That's right." Kisuke left the back of the stage from the performers and went to the microphone. "The youngest of all our performers will be coming on the stage the one everyone has been waiting for," Uryuu went up to the stage curtain on the steps behind the stage. He closed his eyes walking up the steps getting himself ready to go on. "Eighteen year old, Ishida Uryuu!"

Kisuke left the stage walking towards the curtain with the lights dimming as he was walking off the stage. Uryuu saw Kisuke walk out and the spotlight shining on the curtain waiting for him to exit the back and make his appearance. He walked onto the stage with the song he was supposed to sing for the night. He moved the curtain slowly with his painted blue nails. He opened his mouth to sing when he heard the song begin. He started singing the words with the pitch of the singer used when the singer was singing the song.

He moved with the song's beat not with dirty dancing, but with the intention in keeping the audiences attention. In many nights he had to sing more than three songs a night unlike all the others except Szayel Aporro Granz. He even has to sit with people sometimes for when they want company for extra money. Uryuu was almost done with his first song when he saw the man that always asked for Szayel to sit with him to give him drinking company. In many efforts, Uryuu tries not think badly of Szayel and his taste in men.

Uryuu looked out at the audience as the song ended. He heard clapping and whistling all at the same time thinking, Dogs they all just want to sink their teeth into us. How disgusting. Uryuu smiled out toward them already to speak when he saw Gin Ichimaru walk in with Sosuke Aizen. He spoke, "Are you ready for my own original song? Because I'm not sure you all are." Uryuu said with a wink with him sighing in the inside. The crowd was going wild with that one wink while there was no beat going Uryuu started.

"The song is called "Within" and it's the first time I'll be performing this song in front of anyone." Uryuu voiced giving a little wink trying to stay into character as much as he can. He hates having this degrading persona, but it brings in the cash he needs to survive. He started singing the song with his heart in it performing a dance he made with it. He bounced his legs side to side to get the dance started. He then started the dancing with the song that he just started to sing which happened to be his own.

After he was done singing all five pieces he decided to sing that night. He went into the back to see some them getting ready to go to there drinking partners. Kisuke went back onstage to introduce the next one which happened to be Nel, but she ones that actually does the dances for money. She had a little daughter by Nnoitra that sometimes stays over with some of the other workers. Uryuu once took her for an hour at his place and her daughter thought that his apartment was very plain. Like he was going to take decorating plans from a little girl.

In the distance he can see Nel wearing her outfit for tonights dance. This is how she met Nnoitra all the same as Szayel while Uryuu watches from the background he can tell that Nnoitra doesn't care who he fucks and destroys in Nnoitra's own words. Uryuu doesn't understand how anybody would be attracted to that grotesque man in his opinion.

Yumichika came from the front to tell people whom they are hanging out with for the night or for a few hours. The performers that already performed were surrounding Yumichika with Uryuu inbetween Szayel and Shinji. Yumichika held up his paper that is attached to his clipboard and looked around at everyone. Uryuu looked at Nel who just got done with someone else going on stage next.

"All right, now, here's the list of who has to go with who tonight. Of course, Szayel, you go to Nnoitra Jiruga. Shinji, you must go to Hiyori Sarugaki. Nel, you go to a young gentleman tonight named Stark. Uryuu, you get to go to gentleman named Gin Ichimaru." Yumichika said while continuing down the list of the workers of the night with the ones that were spoken of starting to walk off to their people, grabbing the alcohol beverages to pour for their visitors.

"Uryuu, you always get the rich ones, don't you?" Shinji asked wondering how he keeps doing it.

"Just be quiet and do your job." Uryuu retorted continuing his walk to the man that requested him.

"You don't have to be such a stick in the mud like Hiyori."

Nel barged in. "Leave the guy alone. You know he became quite popular with people within a week."

Szayel chuckled. "The fame came to fast for the eigthteen year old."

Why do they persist in talking to me? Uryuu questioned in his mind seeing Gin from a few inches away.

The four of them seperated seeing their key targets sitting and waiting. Uryuu watched as the others went to do their job. Szayel sat down next to a drunk Nnoitra who had another beer in front of him. Stark who was getting served by Nel, who was pouring his drink of alcohol. Shinji pouring Hiyori her drink then sitting down beside her flirting with her. Uryuu moved gently and gracefully to Gin and Sosuke with Gin's beverage in hand.

"Gin, so this is the beautiful Uryuu." Sosuke said while scanning Uryuu with his eyes.

"Oh, yes it is, Sosuke. Sit, Uryuu." Gin mentioned gesturing his host to sit next to him.

Uryuu poured their drinks before sitting down next to Gin. He had to force a smile upon his face even though he is used to this job. Uryuu looked at Gin then at Sosuke with a sudden wink heading toward Gin. "Hello, Gin. Are you doing all right today?" Uryuu questioned staying in the character he had to develop while he was here. Ishida scooted closer to Gin breaking the space between them. Ichimaru just smiled putting his hand on his drink talking to Uryuu and Sosuke.

"You know the next time we'll come we'll bring someone new with us." Gin said with his drunken breath was breathing onto Uryuu while he was speaking.

"That'll be great the more the merrier." Uryuu with his hands upon his own lap.

"We'll bring him sometime since he would really like to hear you and your comrades sing." Sosuke mentioned ready for a refill.

"Okay, I'll make sure to look better than I do tonight." Uryuu said with a giggle at the beginning. If Ryuuken saw me now, he would definitely want nothing to do with me. Uryuu mentioned in his thoughts while pouring a some more into Sosuke's glass and now Gin's.

"This will be our last drink, Uryuu." Gin mentioned getting his wallet out to pay Uryuu his expenses.

"Okay." Uryuu said with a pout, but grateful inside his head.

Gin gave him the money and walked out after he took his last swig of his alcohol. Sosuke gave his half as well since he had Uryuu pour his beverage when he wasn't his host. Uryuu stood taking the paid bill and expenses over to the bar giving it to Yumichika.

"Here, Yumichika, the paid bill." Uryuu said with a slight yawn.

"Time for you to go home, huh?" Yumichika questioned cleaning a glass.

"Yeah, I suppose so." Uryuu retorted looking at the clock heading to the back of the stage. While Uryuu was back there Nel was on the phone with her daughter and Shinji was getting ready to go home too. Uryuu took off his wig putting it in his bag underneath his dress that he was taking off. When he folded his dress and put it in his bag putting on his clothes he normally wears. He washed off the make-up making sure none got on his clothes.

Uryuu looked at Nel who was scrambling to get into her clothes real quick like. He sighed and went over to her, "What are you missing now?" He asked hoping it wasn't the nail polish removal. "The nail polish removal." Nel answered still looking for the nail polish remover. The thing he wasn't hoping that wasn't missing was missing again.

Uryuu decided to help Nel find what she needed, so that she can leave and pick her daughter up from the babysitters. In many ways she always seems to lose the make-up removers most of the time. Shinji overheard and started helping to find the missing product. Though, he doesn't understand how Nel could just lose things out of thin air.

"Found it!" Shinji blurted out over at the stand where Nel gets ready at.

"Uryuu, you can use it now." Nel said handing it over to Uryuu as she was finishing getting around. Ishida thanked her and took off the nail polish that was shining in the light. He gave it back to her then went back to his stand grabbing his stuff. Ishida headed out of the place when he saw that his shoes were still on his feet. He sat down and took off the heeled shoes. Dammit, I can't believe I forgot all about these stupid shoes. He thought putting on his usual shoes and putting those shoes in his bag where his other shoes laid in his bag.

He's so tired right now that all he wants is to sleep. He has to remember that he can't be late for school tomorrow or he won't be able to do the test. That's right he has to do the test tomorrow whether he's tired or not. Uryuu really wants to keep those good grades up than lower them to Kurosaki's grades.

He stood up heading his way back to his apartment. Uryuu looked up at the sky as he was walking looking at the night sky. He felt like he's been there for two years when has only been a month an a half in reality. It's peaceful tonight. I wish it was like this more often. With that thought aside he continued his way to the apartment complex.

He noticed that a street light was flickering. Uryuu stopped to look at it for a moment and then continued on his way. He saw the mother of the two little girls walking from her ex-husband's house. He's not shocked to see her come out of that house since it was her ex-husband's turn to have them for his days. She walked with a few sniffles that he could hear since she was only a few steps ahead of him now.

She wasn't looking back since her sadness could be overwhelming for her to let others see it. Only when she's in her home she's able to show her droplets of water simply. She's a contrast from her significant other. Rangiku... Uryuu heard himself say within his original thoughts. Yet, she wasn't crying any tears.

Before he knew it they were in front of the building together. She saw him walking towards the doorss and waved with a hand in the air. "Hey, Uryuu! How's it going for you tonight?" She said with a confidence that she is known for while he was walking to the doors. Uryuu sighed knowing it's hard for anyone not to talk to her even for him. She'll start a conversation with about anyone.

"Hello, Rangiku." Uryuu said calmly walking through one of the doors while she walked through the other.

"How'd work go tonight?" Rangiku asked with a smile doned on her face.

"The usual, to be honest." Uryuu answered pushing the up button on the elevator.

"You should have more fun with it or drink with them." Rangiku said with a wink.

"That's more of something that you'll do." Uryuu responded with a twitch of the eyebrow.

When the elevator opened they walked in at the same time. They stayed quiet through the ride up to their apartment floor. Uryuu knew that Rangiku knew about his job for the longest time under it all. She knew what kind of job he was doing for the cash he needed to stay in this building. If he could've told one of his friends except Ichigo it could stay with them, but he didn't want their help.

"Well, here's our stop, Uryuu." Rangiku mentioned walking out of the elevator with Uryuu behind her. They walked straight ahead for a moment then Rangiku turned to her apartment door opening it and going inside shutting it behind her. Uryuu walked to his silently while opening the door in his silence.

Opening the door he looked at his wall walking in with him shutting the door behind him. He walked toward the bathroom grabbing a towel and washcloth to clean up before he heads to bed with his bag sat down near the door to his room. He started the shower making it difficult to not to stay awake. He still feels glitter on him and so he normally takes a shower when he has glitter on him. Yet, he normally takes a shower before going to the bed and sleeping his day away.

He stepped into the shower making sure the water was hot. He let his skin get drenched before he started washing his body. His hair was getting drenched with the water as well falling out of their place. Once he was done in there he turned it off going out of the shower drying off then putting on clothes for bed. Uryuu got into his room getting under the blankets laying his head on the pillow easily falling asleep.
