IshidaxOC

Due to my absolute frustration that there are no good OC Ishida fics out there, I've decided to write one myself.

Counting Daisies

Prologue

Every morning, when she rushed through the classroom door surrounded by an entourage of her friends, there was one thing she could always rely on: the solitary figure in the corner of the room. No matter how early she arrived, he would always be there, his focused eyes fixed on a book, thoughts that she would never comprehend swirling around in his mind.

Every time she glared at him in contempt, he simply ignored her, and that only intensified her irritation. He was the only thing stopping her from claiming her rightful throne as the highest scoring student in the school. No matter how many hours she crammed studying the night before the test, there was always something she missed that he did not. When she congratulated him with a fake smile, he had simply thanked her and walked away, as if he couldn't care less whether he had the first or the thousandth score.

But there was something about him that piqued her curiosity, and for some reason, her mind could never leave him alone. Even sitting there so aloofly, he seemed to radiate some sort of vibrant, collected energy that no one else possessed. To everyone else in the school, he was just a shadow that they willingly ignored, but in her mind's eye, he stood out like an angel among befuddled masses.

Every time she passed him, a silent recognition passed between them, and each time, she grew more interested in the enigmatic genius. Halfway through, she decided that her actions were unlike her usual self. There was no barrier that prevented her from simply striking up a conversation during lunch.

She realized why. She was afraid. She was not the cowardly type, but sensed a degree of restrained power inside him, an alien vitality that she couldn't explain in words.

She couldn't explain the eerie feeling to anyone. Her friends would only laugh and tease her about her pathetic crush. Her parents would only complain about teenage hormones. It was something that passed unspoken for years. Even when they were small children, Miwa was always the center of attention, and Uryu was silent and forgotten. They both shone with individual pride and self-assertion, after those long years of growing up, nothing had changed.


Sorry if my OC came off as a Mary Sue. I'm paranoid about that stuff now. I originally had planned this story drastically differently. I don't think I like the change either...

So do you think I should continue? I don't know... that would involve making up the next part of Bleach, and I don't think I'm up to that. It would also increase her Sue-ishness if I give her crazy powers, and if I don't, it'll make her completely unlikable.

In retrospect, I'm kind of disappointed at how pointless this fic came off to be. T...T I guess I should really stay away from romance. –sigh-

I have the next two chapters written (which is the entire story, I think) so if anyone wants to beta read this for me, please review or message me. If anyone knows any good Ishida fics, particularly OC ones, please do recommend them.
