Ichigo looked at the strange bespectacled boy before bending his front left leg and leaning down with his human torso to get close to Rukia's ear.
'It's strange how well I instinctively know how to maneuver this body…' Ichigo thought before whispering:
"Hey, is this guy a Shinigami too?"
Rukia instantly shook her head before looking up and down at the strange boy.
"No, but something about his appearance is ringing some bells," Rukia responded as he stared at the boy.
"Tch, I see, how the Quincy are seen by you Shinigami, just another forgettable history lesson," The boy said, sliding his wire-frame glasses up his nose.
"Quincy?" Ichigo muttered.
"Tch I wouldn't expect a simple beast to know, but with the way you imitate our ways it stings further," the boy looked at Ichigo his nose scrunched up as if he looked at something putrid when he spoke to Rukia he had a similar candace though somehow lessened.
"Simple beast!?" Ichigo yelled his teeth clenching his white mask making an awful crunching noise.
"Shinigami I would keep your…pet on a tighter lease, are you the reason it seems to imitate the Quincy technique? Or at least your superiors?" Uryu said glaring at the more petite girl.
"What the hell are you talking about!? Explain yourself!" Rukia yelled out.
"Ah, sorry for my bad manners, I am Uryu Ishida, the last Quincy, and protector of Karakura Town. I demand to know what happened to Ichigo Kurosaki and why are you trying to hide his missing position with this beast?"
"Tch, once more it seemed you fucked up," Ichigo said shaking his head as he got back on his four legs.
"Hmm? Again?" Uryu asked, raising his eyebrow.
"I don't know what's the whole beef between you guys, but I am Ichigo Kurosaki-"
"Don't attempt to lie to me hollow,"
"Huh!? What the hell do you mean, I am telling the truth!"
"Hmph admittedly your spiritual energy oozing out of you screams of that buffoon, but more like some sort of cheap parody, so dominated by hollow reishi it colors your spirit ribbon a mortiful black," Uryu said shaking his head flinging his dark chin-length hair.
"Now you're just making shit up! I never met someone like you so you couldn't have figured out what my…spirit ribbon? And reishi…thing!" Ichigo yelled his mind and danced around the terms Uryu threw out so casually trying to find the meaning within them.
"I am his classmate, now explain why you two replaced him. Was it because of his being oozing out spiritual energy? His glasses blocked out his eyes as the sun shined on the lenses.
"No way in Hell were you my classmate I never saw you once in my life!"
"Hmph, that does sound like something he'd say I give you credit, but answer my question,"
"...Quincy?" Rukia finally muttered after such a long silence.
"Do you need a recap of your history class?" Uryu said with a sneer.
"No…I think I remembered, you're humans who have naturally high spiritual energy and train that energy to kill hollows, still this makes no sense," Rukia said, now having her hand balled up near her face as she lightly bit her thumb in deep thought.
"So you're on our side? Why didn't Rukia tell you about her fuck up then!?"
"...Same side? How pitiful and ignorant, no you must not chide the fish for not knowing how to climb a tree, Shinigami and Quincy are natural enemies," Uryu's face now seemed filled with pity like one would to a dog barking at their reflection.
"You're seriously pissing me off now! I don't know what the hell to tell you, I am Ichigo Kurosaki, when that shortie gave me her powers I became this…rather embarrassing…thing then I woke up the next day finding everyone I know and love thinking I've always been this busty lady, that fucking simple" Ichigo could hear a yell from Rukia at that short comment but he focused on Uryu.
"A regular human becoming a Hollow through the injection of Shinigami powers is beyond-" before Uryu could continue Ichigo interrupted.
"Well tough fuckin' luck that's what happened now move out the way so I get back to class,"
"I don't understand why you continue to evade my questions, I see right through your charade" Uryu said as once more he pulled up his glasses.
"If you're not gonna listen, there's no sense in talkin' now?" Ichigo mumbled as he turned around and grabbed Rukia by her uniform collar, which instantly caused her to try and fight against him but seemed to settle down as soon as he plopped her down on his back.
"Hmph, are you telling me you'll kill me to keep me quiet?" Uryu asked as he glared into the void in Ichigo's mask which was quickly lit up with a powerful blue light as Uryu easily formed a blue bow similar to Ichigo's but much more refined and much more bow-like.
Ichigo glared at the boy before shaking his head
"I don't plan on doing nothing if you move out of the way," Ichigo huffed as he walked(?) closer to the boy. only to stop in his tracks as a blue arrow whizzed by his head slightly nicking his mask.
"AHH! Fuck that hurt, you bastard!" Ichigo gripped where the small cut was, though it was a relatively small wound, it hurt much like a paper cut only stronger, much stronger.
"Make another step, and I'll kill you, I can't risk letting such an intelligent hollow roam even if it's some sort of experiment from the soul society,"
"I been wanting an excuse to knock that fucking cocky grin off your face," Ichigo yelled as he removed his hands away from his mask light steam came wafting off it as he raised his hand letting the cross that was his mother's dangle before it lit up in a beautiful blue hue.
"Shit, sorry dude, didn't see you there," Ichigo said with his normal frown as he extended his hand. A small clanging metal bracelet accompanied it as it slid down his school uniform's sleeve.
"That's a unique bracelet, where did you get it?" The boy asked as he took the hand of Ichigo, his eyes squarely on the bracelet.
"Huh? Oh! You mean this little thing?" Ichigo asked as he raised his hand and stared at it too.
"It was my mom's before she passed, one of the few things she left behind," Ichigo continued with a melancholic smile.
"Ah my apologies, forget I asked," The boy said as he pushed up his glasses.
"It's fine, my dad said it was her good luck charm, so he gifted it to me, for protection and all that, what an old fool," Ichigo said with a light chuckle.
"Who knows, surprises come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, oh my apologies I am Uryu Ishida, nice to finally talk to you Ichigo," The boy said with a soft smile as he extended his hand.
"Huh!? How the hell do you know my name?"
"Tch, I am in the same class as you,"
"Oh,"
"Where'd you get that?" Uryu asked as his glare strengthened as he lazily dodged the large "arrow" that zipped past him.
"It was my mom's, what about it?" Ichigo said as he sent another "arrow" that Uryu dodged.
"Dammit! Why won't you get hit!" Ichigo yelled as he continued to fire.
'Could this really be Ichigo? No? It couldn't be, I need to ask more questions without giving too much info,' Uryu thought as he easily dodged another shot
"Why do you have it then?"
"Huh, you want more fuckin' answers now?"
"This will decide if you really are Ichigo Kurosaki or some sort of hit squad," Ichigo's fire tapered off as he heard this,
"Huh, how the hell would you know any of this?"
"Why do you have it now?" Uryu repeated,
"My dad gave it as a good luck charm, what an old fool," Ichigo said with a light chuckle.
Uryu's eyes glared at Ichigo before speaking.
"Ichigo you're really are an idiot you know that,"
