++++ ok everyone since I can't think of any thing for my story new knights (if you have a suggestion don't be afraid to put it forward) I'm going straight on with this story. This is during the week before they leave so they are all still training to go to the soul society. Ok without much further ado let's begin chapter four++++

Vex opens his eyes, aware of his surrounding. He begins to think out his day without moving from his bed. 'Ok who should I go to for help in building strength in my power? Not Urahara, his working with Ichigo. And not that cat that seems to have a large amount of reiastu. The choice that makes the most sense is Uryuu. That's it I'll go to Uryuu.' Vex sits up slowly and looks at the clock. It reads 9:44; 'well I got up later than usual' Vex thinks as he walks over to his dresser, and he picks out a simple black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. He dresses quickly and goes down stairs to start breakfast. Vex stares at the pan as he makes himself eggs, bacon, and toast. Vex eats his food slowly in silence. He missed having someone else around; even his apartment was too big with only one person in it. Sounds just seem to echo in the rooms. It was times like that when things got most depressing. Vex sighs and he hears his sigh echo, no wonder he hates his own house.

Vex soon after breakfast finds himself walking outside, heading to the nearby woods. He is following Uryuu's masked spiritual pressure. There was a hint of another presence but Vex just continues on. Vex hears as he climbs over a group of rocks "… This is the highest point of a Quincy's powers. When you can shoot for seven days straight then you can wield the Sanrei Glove." Vex is just coming up over the top of the rocks as he hears Uryuu say, "Yes grandfather, I will do it. I will become strong enough to wield the Sanrei Glove." Vex walks over closer to Uryuu, Uryuu say out loud without turning. "Hello Vex." Vex smiles and nods "hello Uryuu, and how did you know it was me?" Uryuu turns to face Vex. "First off, Orihime and Chad have already been here, and second, your reatisu is masked so you couldn't have been Ichigo. So what do you want Vex?" Vex gets down on his knees in a show of respect. "Uryuu I would like your help in learning how to build and harness my power." Uryuu stares at Vex, "Fine I will but first you have to show me what you can do." Vex nods and stands up. "Vex make a bow." Vex nods and after a few seconds of focus, forms a bow made of reatisu. It is a dark red, a bit of black running in veins along the broad side. Uryuu stares at the bow and tries to take it in hand; However when it leaves Vex's hand it disappears. Uryuu nods as if he expected this, which he did. "Well Vex. It would seem that you are of Quincy descent." Vex stares at Uryuu, "but I can make other things other than a bow." Uryuu stare coldly at Vex as he makes a dart, a senbon, and lastly a kizer glove. Uryuu watches this and thinks as Vex does all this. Uryuu starts to speak after several moments, "it seems you have a Quincy ancestor, but you can change your weapon from something other than a bow. Also from what I see, it would seem you can cleanse hollows. I'm not sure how to help you other than giving you this." Uryuu reaches into his pack and hands Vex a Quincy cross. Vex looks down at it. "What is this for?" Uryuu explains, "That is a Quincy cross. It increases the power of your reatisu attacks. Vex smiles and nods "well thanks Uryuu. I guess I should leave and let you train." Uryuu turns and starts training. Vex just leaves climbing up over the rocks.

Thursday

Vex takes a deep breath, looking at himself in the mirror. Vex is wearing a black button up shirt, a black par of corduroy pants, and his black tennis shoes. Vex smiles wide as he begins to walk out the door. At the last second, Vex puts on the Quincy cross, the silver bracelet making a great contrast to all the black. Vex tucks the cross up into his sleeve. Vex locks the door behind him as he leaves. He walks slowly, heading towards Orihime's house. He and Tatsuki had agreed on the phone to meet there. Vex smiles, lights flashing off his teeth, as he walks down the street-side. It would be an understatement to say that he is nervous and excited. When Vex gets to Orihime's house, he bounds up the steps, taking them three at a time. Vex pulls out of one of his pockets a single red rose. Vex takes another deep breath and presses the door bell. Orihime opens the door promptly as if was waiting for Vex. "Hello Vex, Tatsuki will be a couple minutes. Please come wait inside." Vex nods as Orihime steps to the side to let him in. Vex smiles and steps inside and Orihime closes the door behind him. Vex walks over into the living room as Orihime goes to help Tatsuki finish getting ready. Vex sits down in the living room with his back against the wall. Vex looks around the room, a slight smile on his lips. Orihime kept a clean house and the room was so full of bright color. Compared to Orihime's home his was drab and dull. Vex sighs softly and doesn't realize that Orihime is in the room. Vex looks up and is slightly surprised to see Orihime "hey Orihime. I like your house. It's so full of color" Orihime smiles "thank you Vex that is so nice of you to say." Vex stands up and smiles as Tatsuki walks in the room. "Hey Tatsuki, are you ready to go?" Vex asks as he walks over to Tatsuki taking her uninjured hand. Tatsuki smiles and nods blushing slightly as Vex take her hand. Vex smiles and leads Tatsuki to the door, opening the door and letting Tatsuki out first. As they exit Orihime smiles wishing Tatsuki a great night out.

Vex smiles at Tatsuki as they walk along. He slowly leads her, her hand in his. Vex had decided that a moon light walk in the park might be romantic. Vex and Tatsuki smiles as they walk though the park. Vex stops on a small foot bridge staring out over the water. Tatsuki stares slowly realizing that he hadn't spoken yet. "Vex are we going to talk?" Vex looks over at Tatsuki, "oh what? Sorry it's just this is really a first for me. I have no clue what to say, or what to do. I'm seriously clueless." Vex smiles but it soon falls as he hears a blood chilling howl. 'What a Hollow? Now of all times?' Vex thinks quickly turning back to the river that flows though the park. Vex sees it, a large monstrous beast. It has blood colored arms that double as wings. Its feet are clawed, and its legs are streaked with red and black. The white mask is like that of a raptor's cruel and deadly. Vex is surprised to hear a gasp from Tatsuki, followed by, "what is that thing?" Vex surprised but focused figures that the hollow is to far away to hit with a dart. Vex swiftly unbuttons the cuff button letting the Quincy cross fall out of his sleeve. He then stretches out his arm, forming his bow. Vex hears another gasp from Tatsuki, "Vex what is that thing and where did that lovely bow come from?" Vex pulls back the black string. A red arrow forms in the bow. He quickly releases it, shattering the hollows skull like mask with ease. The hollow disappears, fading to nothing, cleansed. Vex lets the bow fade back to nothing, turning to Tatsuki. Tatsuki starts, "what was that? How did you do that? Where did that bow come from?" Vex sighs and smiles; this was going to take some time to explain.

Vex sits down with his and Tatsuki's coffee. "Ok where should I begin?" Vex says sipping his coffee. "Well I've always been able to see spiritual begins. It started out when I was a kid, and I saw ghosts; however the power grew and I started to saw those monsters, hollows. It has only been recently that I've been able to combat hollows." Tatsuki sips her coffee and nods "how recently?" Vex says without hesitation "The massive hollow attack that happened last week on Tuesday." Tatsuki gasps "that was the day when Orihime and I were cleaning up after school." Vex raises an eyebrow, "is this the first time you saw a hollow?" Tatsuki shakes her head. "No there was another time at Orihime's. We were attacked by a hollow." "Does Orihime remember this?" "Yes" Vex is silent after this. He had not expected this turn of events. He sits there in thought sipping his coffee. "Well I know Orihime has powers. But I wonder…" Vex says softly but Tatsuki overhears anyway. "What? Orihime has powers?" Vex nods softly "yes. She does." Tatsuki sips her coffee; it's her turn to think things over. 'Why didn't Orihime tell me? I thought…' Tatsuki stops there and smiles. "Well thank you Vex. This has been a great date." Vex nods "indeed. Should I take you home or are you staying at Orihime's?" Tatsuki shakes her head, "no I'm going to my house tonight." Vex smiles and stands up finishing his coffee, "may I walk you home then?" Vex asks offering his arm. Tatsuki takes it, smiling, and Vex lead her home arm in arm.

Vex leads Tatsuki up the steps to her apartment. He lets her arm out of his and blushes slightly. "Well good night Tatsuki. I had a great time tonight." Tatsuki smiles softly "so did I…" a short silence follows. Vex shuffles his feet, "well good night Tatsuki." "Good night Vex" Tatsuki says softly. Vex smiles to Tatsuki and hesitantly leans in and kisses her. Tatsuki is a little surprised but then smiles and kisses Vex back. Vex wraps his arms around Tatsuki softly, pulling her close. They stand there several minutes caught in each other's embrace and kiss. Vex and Tatsuki finally break the kiss, in need of air.
