Chapter 4

The next day, I got a full day of school. When I got to the room, Tatsuki greeted me with a smile.

"So, Althea, would you like to sit with me and my gang at lunch today?" she asked me.

"Um...yeah. I'd like that." I said back to her.

"Great!" she said. She looked me up and down.

"How'd you hurt yourself?" she asked. I looked down at my knees. Scabs were there from the night before.

"Oh, I just fell. No big deal."

I looked over to Ichigo and his friends. He looked over to me at that moment as well. He gave me a small nod and turned back to his friends. Just then the teacher entered the room. And as if her entering the room was the signal, the bell rang.

"Take your seats!" she commanded, and we didn't complain.

I took my seat in the back.

"Now today..." yeah, like I care. I looked out the window the rest of the period.

At lunch Tatsuki dragged me to her gangs' spot. I sat with them and smiled. Ichigo, Sado, Orihime, and the Qunicy were here too.

"I'm Chizuru!" I girl was suddenly in my face on her hands and knees.

"Hi." I say backing my head back alittle.

"Let her breath Chizuru!" Tatsuki said pushing her aside.

"hey, new girl, I'm Keigo. You wanna go and-" the boy who talked next was interupted by Ichigo.

"Save your breath Keigo. Hey, Althea. Sleep fine?"

I could tell he was wondering this considering a Hallow did attack my building.

"Uh, yeah fine, thanks."

Everyone looked back and forth between me and Ichigo wondering why he asked such a question. Well, except for Sado, Orihime, and the Quincy. I had a feeling Ichigo told them what had happened last night.

"Oh yeah, and that's Mizuiro." said Ichigo nodding to the last boy. He smiled at me, his eyes traced me.

"Ignore him." Ichigo said. A short giggle left my mouth.

Silence fell across us. The Quincy was eating a sandwich looking at the ground. I bit my lip and brought up my courage to ask him his name.

"Um, I still don't know your name."

He looked up at me. Our eyes met for a second before he looked away. How many times has that happen?

"Ishida Uryu." he said slightly annoyed and continued to chomp on his sandwich.

I rolled my eyes and sighed. Grr to you too. He probably thought I was a threat or something. Considering...

We all ate and the day continued. About an hour before school ended I was called down to the office. Sakina had called.

"I got a job but, it lasts until a couple hours after school ends so your going to have to walk home. Do you know the way?"

"Yeah, I'll just go the way you went yesterday."

"Okay. I have to go."

"Kay, Bye." There was a click on the other line. I liked walking more than sitting in a car doing nothing anyways. When school was over, I began my trot home. It was slightly chilly out and smelled of rain. I liked rain. I hope it rains before I get home.

I still was thinking about that Urahara dude. I mean if I don't learn how to control my powers how will I ever protect Sakina from hallows? Hell, myself considering they're after ME. I sighed, but my sigh turned to a gasp as I felt a huge bunch of the monsters. I looked around. There were people everywhere on the streets. I had to lead them away from these people! Hopefully the Hallows would fallow.

I shot down an ally. When I came out of the gap between the buildings I remembered on our way to our house we past a junk yard. Perfect. I darted down the road towards the junk yard. I slithered past people in the street and dodged cars, trash cans, and bikes.

I stopped to catch my breath and began to run again. I heard a shriek in the near distance. Damn, they're not far off. I gasped for breath. My chest felt like weights were closing in around it. My heart beated harder as I went down the lane. I took a sharp turn at the corner and another at the next. The junk yard was in sight now and so were dark clouds in the distance.

. . .

Uryu was walking home when he felt numerous hallows appear. About 3 of them. He looked down at his bracelet. He felt so weak and helpless. His hand clenched into a fist. When he looked back up he saw a girl shoot out of an ally-way and dart down the street. It was Althea. What was she up too? His eyebrows met together as he ran after her, deciding to find out what was up with this girl.

. . .

I climbed the fence over to junk yard. I dropped and stood. As I caught my breath, I unbuttoned my first few buttons to my school shirt and pulled my red scarf off. I dropped it to the ground. I then darted into the maze of trash, cars, beds, toilets, and bugs. I grasped my necklace as I slid to a stop and waited for them to come. Thunder rumbled. It was going to rain soon.

I closed my eyes and tried to figure out how many there were...three it seemed like. A shriek sounded again. They seemed to be even closer. I let in a breath and let it out. I opened my eyes. I pushed some determination into myself.

I put my right hand out in front of me and my left on my silver necklace. Pinkish light glowed from my chest where my necklace lied. The necklace soon exploded into tiny pieces. The silver pieces stretched and outlined my body by the joints. From my chest to my shoulders, to my elbows to my wrists(where it connected to my bracelets), to each joint in my fingers. From my chest to my breasts, to my stomach to my waist and thighs, all the way down my legs. Down my spine and connecting around my belly. Then I felt sharp pain as the silver stabbed into by body and secured itself into me, way down to the bone and nerves. My school uniform was torn apart as this happened. All that was covering me was the silver(which didn't cover much). And as the silver formed so did my Zanpakuto. In my right hand the silver built itself up into a two-sided sword.

The first Hallow came into sight. He was kind of monkeyish. He jumped across the junk piles after me. I lifted my left hand to my other and mustered all the energy I could. Pinkish light glowed from my hand and shot up my Zanpakuto. I pulled back and the pinkish light stretched out and formed an arrow.

I aimed at the jumper. I let a breath out and let go. He easily jump out of range of my arrow. I pulled back for another one. He was getting closer, fast. I lost my nerve at the last second of letting go. It exploded in front of me, throwing me back. I pushed myself up just as the hallow flung itself at me. I sliced my sword through the air in front of me, closing my eyes. I heard a yelp as the hallow fell onto me. I opened my eyes, I had cut his arm off. I tried to push it off of me but I couldn't: I felt long fingers rap around my body and arms. It lifted its head and stared into my face. I tried to pull my arms free, grunting. I stopped as I stared in awe as the hallows masked mouth opened in a great hole. Its teeth and slobber were shown as he screeched at the top of its lungs, killing my ears. Suddenly its chest began to move. An arm and hand seemed to grow out of it. So much for the last arm I took off. It shot forward and grasp my neck, squeezing, choking. I gasp and tried to struggle. It wasn't much use.

"Aww, is the little soul scared? Heh Heh. Come on, squeal for me. Quite a lovely little soul, aren't u? Nice powerful spiritual pressure and a nice little body."

Another hand shot from it's chest. It groped my body as it laughed. I felt my head getting dizzy. I coughed and gasp as my brain screamed for Oxygen. Suddenly, I saw a flash of metal meet the Hallows side, gashing into it making it scream out in pain. He let me go and shot around. I gasped and turned on my side coughing. I looked up and tried to see what was happening in front of me. The world was still a blur to me.

I saw a human figure jumping aside as the hallows arms swung about. The hallows arm met the humans head by the third dodge. The human was knocked to the ground. Within seconds my head had cleared and I pulled myself up. The human that was lying on the ground pushing himself up wasn't a human at all. But a Quincy. Beside him was metal pole that must have been what gashed into the hallow. I shot forward pulling my sword back. As the Hallow turned I swung my sword in front of me, it met the hallows mask. But it didn't slice through all the way for I was pulled back at that moment. The second Hallow decided to join the battle.

"Shit." I said, as I got slammed to the ground. I grabbed my stomach in pain. The hallow had punch me right in the gut. This Hallow had one large muscled arm, fat legs, and a small body.

"That bitch!" the monkey hallow bellowed as it covered its wounded head and half cut mask with its four hands.

"Quit your whining you fucking piece of shit. That wouldn't have happened if you hadn't played with your food."

I bought myself to my knees but got knocked back down by a blow to the head from the deformed Hallow. I grabbed my head, a wet sticky substance began pouring out. I forced myself up despite the pain. Uryu threw what seemed to be tiny barrels at the large armed Hallow. It exploded his other skinny arm off. He shrieked and slammed his big arm down where Uryu just was; he had jumped to the side. It didn't matter though because monkey had another arm shoot out of him chest, this one had sharp nails as hands. It sliced at Uryu as he jumped aside, throwing him to the ground. Monkey turned back to me.

"Come here you little bitch!" Monkey called out to me. He stepped towards me as the other Hallow turned towards Uryu. I pulled back another arrow.

"You gonna try and hit me with that again? Yeah, right."

I let it fly and it, of course, missed. Though, it did seem to piss the other one off as it whizzed past its head. He turned back towards me.

"Your right, this one is a bitch." he said.

His bulgy arm rose in the air and slammed the ground. The ground caved in underneath in a long line towards me. I fell to my knees onto the caved in earth. As I got up, a gasp in slight pain: my ankle had sprained. Still, I stood. I lifted my Zanpakuto but, it left me hand as the hallows large fist met the side of my body. I was thrown across the terrain. Pain erupted through my ribs.

Thunder rumbled again. Dark clouds had covered the sky.

"What the hell is that?" the Hallow asked, looking in between me and my Zanpakuto. A long , pinkish glowing , string connected my bracelet to my blade. The monkey made its way towards me. I rapped the string around my wrist and hand for a better grip. I sat up suddenly and as I did I jerked my hand threw the air. The string fallowed with a tug. My Zanpakuto lifted threw the air towards the Hallow. The blade met the Hallows head with a pluck. The Hallow screeched and slid to a stop. It threw its hands up to the sword but, I was already to my feet again. I rended my hand back, my Zanpakuto fallowed by slicing through the Hallows mask and falling to the ground between us. I fell back to the ground in pain as the Hallows screech sounded through the air. It soon was drowned out as he slowly disappeared like ash in the wind.

"He got on my fucking nerves anyways." the other Hallow said to me.

I clutched my side. I guessed a rib or two was broken. I gasped as I pulled myself up. I began to pull my sword to me but, the Hallow fat foot stomped down onto the string preventing me from pulling my weapon to me.

Behind the Hallow Uryu picked up another metal pipe and swung at the side of the hallows head. Unluckily, the hallow turned slightly lifting it's hand up to it's face, catching the pipe and bending it to the side. Uryu dropped it and was thrown to the side. I tried pulling my blade back to me again. It didn't budge from under his weight. Suddenly, I felt a pull. I looked up to see the Hallow pulling the string to him with his bulgy arm. I got dragged forward. I would let go, but, well these bracelets are IN my wrists so i just held on.

He stopped pulling when the length of his one arm was behind him. Then suddenly he yanked the string, sending me forward to the ground. I turned over on my back and he was there over me. His face inches from mine. Before I knew what I was doing my hand was on his mask. He shrieked and blood flowed out from his Mask. He soon disappeared in the wind. I laid there with my hand still in there air, shocked. I slowly turned my hand over. The silver that lined my body had shot from my hands and stabbed through the Hallows mask. They were still sticking up drenched in blood.

I let my hand fall to the ground and looked up to the darkened, cloudy sky. I let out a sigh only to find that the sigh morphed into a scream of pain. My ribs were broken. My head was busted open and my ankle stung like hell. I felt a drop of rain on my forehead. Within seconds it was pouring. The last thing I saw was a flash of lightning lighting up the face of the Quincy looking over me. The pain was just to much.

Again idk when i'll update again. verysorry! V.V
