First time posting a fanfic ever! sorry for any error! Reviews are always appreciated :)

Everyone froze when they felt an object whiz through the air from out of no where. But the only evidence that something had been there was a thin cut that had grazed Ichigo' neck. Orihime gasped as Ichigo slowly brought one of his hands toward the cut. He looked at the palm of his hand that now had his blood on it. But his concentration was broken when Uryu yelled out his name. "Ichigo!" he shouted as he pulled back and released one of his arrows.

It was like watching it in slow motion. Uryu's arrow had been timed to accurately intercept a separate arrow that had been aimed at Ichigo. It worked as everyone watched both the arrows evaporate and disappear into a darker part of the woods. But their relief quickly turned to shock when they hear Uryu whisper to himself. "That was an arrow made of spirit energy…" Chad grunted behind him as Ichigo's eyes widened with disbelief. "But… isn't a Quincy the only kind of person who uses that kind of a weapon?" Ichigo asked.

Orihime looked in the direction from where she had seen the other arrow. "Then who shot the other arrow?" It was a question that had hit everyone at the same time. Rukia then quickly drew her zanpakuto. "Someone's approaching." she said.

In response everyone else readied themselves as they watched a human figure emerge from behind the thick trees. From the build they could tell that it was a male, but his face and entire body was covered in a long white cloak with a large hood. But what caught Uryu's eye was the broach holding the cloak together; it was a Quincy cross. Ichigo stepped forward and pointed his zanpakuto at the figure. "Who are you and why were you trying to kill me?"

The figure's shoulders moved up and down as if he were chuckling to himself and then finally pulled back his hood to reveal his face. He looked like he was only a year younger than the rest of them, sixteen. His hair was similar to Uryu's but was pure black and he did not wear glasses. The only other similarity between the two were their eyes; they were blue, but at the moment they were glaring at Ichigo with such hatred that it made him wince. "I do not answer to Soul Reapers." He said icily.

Ichigo clenched his fist in frustration. No one had acted this way towards him since the first time he met Uryu. And as if right on cue Uryu stepped forward with an unreadable expression. "I thought I was the last Quincy left." he said. The other boy's expression softened slightly when he looked back at Uryu.

"Why do you side with Soul Reapers?" he asked in a genuinely confused tone. Uryu let out a long breath. He remembered when he used to feel the same way about Soul Reapers, but he had let those feelings go a long time ago.

"They're not as bad as you think. These are my friends." Uryu smiled reassuringly. But the boy looked unconvinced and his face was full of loathing again.
"Then you're no better than them! You have sullied the Quincy pride!" he said accusingly. His words made Uryu's blood boil. It took everything he had to hold himself back.

Orihime quickly stood in front of Uryu in a protective manner. "Don't you dare accuse Uryu or Ichigo of something that happened years ago!" Chad and Rukia nodded in agreement. The boy looked at her and then scanned the entire group.

"You all better watch your back… especially YOU, Soul Reaper. Because next time I don't plan on missing my mark." He said staring back in Ichigo's direction again. Before any of them could reply he disappeared. No one spoke for several minutes, it was such a shock; another Quincy. Their silence was broken when Kon slowly poked his head out of one of Rukia's pockets and said,

"Who was that?"
