Author's Notes: This chapter took me awhile but the rest shouldn't take as long.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach.
"They will all die." The man said with thick malice.
Uryuu was paralyzed. Standing in shock amongst the dead bodies.
"There is nothing you can do to stop me." The figure said his voice sending shivers down Uryuu's spine.
Uryuu looked around at the bodies of Ichigo, Rukia, and Chad. What had this man done to them?
"All your little friends will die and there is nothing you can do about it." This time he was not alone. He held another person in his grip, a young girl with long orange hair.
Uryuu's blood ran cold. "No…" He whispered still unable to move.
There was a bloodcurdling scream and then silence.
The figure threw the bloody body of Inoue Orihime at Uryuu's feet. Uryuu knelt down and held the lifeless body in his arms. "Orihime… no… please."
"They will all die and it will be your fault."
"NOOOO!!!"
Uryuu awoke in a cold sweat. Without thinking he snatched up his glasses and threw them on as he ran to his room. He opened the door and looked inside. She was there and she was alive. Uryuu felt a wave of relief wash over him. He watched carefully for a few more seconds to make sure she was still breathing then closed the door and walked back to the couch.
Uryuu was shaking. He placed his glasses on the table and put his face in his hands. Uryuu had had nightmares many times before. He had seen hollows kill his grandfather when he was a child and had fought a mad scientist in Soul Society. He'd had plenty of nightmares. But something felt different about this one. It felt more real than any dream he'd had before.
'Its going to take a while before I shake that one off.' He thought as he put his glasses back on and looked at the clock. 6:00 AM.
"Now what do I do? I'm wide awake at six in the morning on a Saturday.' Uryuu thought irritated.
Uryuu got up and went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and was about to take a shower when he heard a loud screeching sound he immediately recognized as a hollow cry.
'It is way too early in the morning for this.' He thought even more irritated.
He ran to his room and grabbed his still dormant blade from the nightstand and looked at the now wide-awake Orihime.
"Ishida-kun, what's going on?" she asked with a tinge of fear in her voice.
"Hollows, don't worry I'll take care of them." He said, as he eyed three Hollows outside his window.
"But Ishida-kun your powers are gone. How-" She gasped as a blade grew from the grip in Uryuu's hand.
"I'll manage." Uryuu said as jumped out the window towards the nearest Hollow.
He felt his feet hit spirit particles as his Hirenkyaku started up. He loved using Hirenkyaku, it was like surfing at 1000 miles an hour.
He stuck the blade out to his left and flew past the first hollow's head. As he slid to a stop behind the hollow he saw half of the hollow's head fall to the ground as it disintegrated.
He quickly turned and dispatched another hollow in one swing. However, the last hollow took this opportunity to attack and charged at Uryuu. Uryuu turned and raised his blade straight in front of his face and twisted it so that the broad side of the blade was facing him; He then put his right fore arm across the blade to brace it.
The hollow slammed into the blade and Uryuu winced in pain as the stitches in his right arm ripped apart.
'A lot of good those stitches did me.' Uryuu thought as he looked at the newly reopened wound.
The hollow pushed Uryuu through a fence and slammed him against a brick wall.
"Ishida-kun!" He heard Orihime cry out, worry evident in her voice.
Uryuu began channeling his spirit energy into his sword and the blade began to glow a light blue, the same color his arrows used to be.
The hollow's mask began to burn against the glowing blade and it recoiled in pain clutching its masked face.
Uryuu swung his blade in the hollow's direction and shot its energy at the hollow. The energy blast tore a soccer ball sized hole through the hollow's head and it disintegrated.
Uryuu lowered his sword and realized that something felt wrong. He was happy, happy from slaying hollows.
'That's weird, I've never enjoyed slaying hollows before.' Uryuu thought as he headed back to his house.
Suddenly, Uryuu remembered Urahara's words.
'I have seen this blade turn good people into monsters.'
Scenes from the nightmare he'd had less than an hour ago played through his mind and he connected the dots.
Uryuu stopped in his tracks
Uryuu looked down at the blade with wide eyes and immediately switched it to its dormant form.
'This blade is the reason I had that nightmare.' Uryuu thought horrified.
He quickly calmed himself. 'Urahara said this might happen. This was my first time using the blade in real combat. If I keep using it in combat I should be able to use it without any of these side effects.'
Uryuu started walking again, confident that this was a one-time thing, and became aware of something trickling down his face. He wiped his forehead and looked at his hand
Blood. Wow, he hadn't even felt it.
As he neared the door Orihime ran out to him.
"Ishida-kun! Your hurt!"
"Its not bad. Lets get inside."
They went inside and Orihime started healing Uryuu's injuries as he sat on the couch.
"Wow Ishida-kun, that was amazing! Where did you get that sword?" Orihime said as she was healing Uryuu.
"Urahara gave it to me yesterday after school." Uryuu said as he looked down at his feet.
That's when he realized that he had just killed three hollows wearing Pepsi pajama bottoms.
'So undignified.' He thought embarrassed.
Orihime finished healing Uryuu and sat down next to him.
"So does this mean you have you powers back?" Orihime asked happily.
"No, I can only use them when I'm holding the sword, but at least I can fight again."
She smiled and got up. "I'm going to make breakfast Ishida-kun." She said happily.
Uryuu's eyes widened. Orihime was notorious for making weird foods.
"You don't have to make breakfast Inoue-san. I can-"
"Nonsense Ishida-kun. You've been so nice to me it's the least I can do." She said as she entered his kitchen and began rummaging around for ingredients.
'Guess there's no sense arguing. Besides, her food might taste good.' Uryuu thought as he got up and headed to the bathroom.
"I'm going to take a shower, let me know if you need any thing Inoue-san."
"Okay Ishida-kun" She chirped.
Ishida quickly showered and headed back to the kitchen.
Orihime looked up at him as he entered the kitchen and smiled.
"Breakfast is almost done Ishida-kun. Have a seat."
Ishida looked at what Orihime had cooked.
Natto with red bean paste, miso soup with honey, and rice with wasabi.
Ishida's stomach started yelling at him. What was he thinking letting Orihime make breakfast?
"Okay, lets eat Ishida-kun." Orihime said happily as she brought two mugs of green tea to the table.
Ishida smiled at her began taking small portions of everything Orihime had prepared.
'If I don't at eat this it will hurt her feelings.' Uryuu thought.
Uryuu decided to start with the honey miso.
'Well, it can't be that bad… can it?'
There you go. A lot of foreshadowing in this chapter. This is turning into a longer story than I had intended. Expect the next chapter to be mostly romance.
Fun Fact: I have pair of Pepsi Pajama bottoms like the ones I gave Uryuu.
Quick Question: Do you think that start writing some parts of this from someone else's point of view?
