A/N: Naruto's whiskers disappeared when he became a Quincy. Thanks to everybody who reviewed the first chapter of my story! :)
I don't own Naruto or Bleach... :(
Chapter 2:
Uryu was shocked. He had been walking towards the place where he and his grandfather usually trained when a boy about his age had appeared in a flash of blue light, forcing him to shield his eyes with his arm. The boy was wearing an orange and blue jumpsuit that was covered with dirt and leaves as if he had slept in the woods. Curious, he had slowly crept up on the boy who was now lying in the grass and stared at him. He examined how the boy's raven hair blowing gently in the wind as it brushed his shoulders making his pale skin stand out. The boy's eyes fluttered open to reveal two bright blue gems that seemed as vast as the ocean.
As Naruto woke up he found himself staring into the eyes of a kid who looked to be the same age as him. The boy let out a squeak before jumping away from him. Naruto examined the frightened boy. He was wearing the same clothes that the men in his dreams had been wearing and he seemed to be giving off a small aura of power, not unlike his own. Maybe this kid could explain to him what had happened back in the forest and tell him where he was, as this certainly wasn't Konoha. Naruto couldn't see any ninja running through the trees and the houses looked completely different than any area of Konoha that he knew. Just where was he? As he continued to examine his surroundings the other boy stared at him. After several minutes of this Naruto became irritated.
"What do you want?" he practically yelled at the other kid. Uryu jumped, clearly not expecting the other to yell as he had, before getting angry.
"Why are you yelling at me?" his hands clenched, ready for a fight. "I'm not the one who fell out of the sky!" Naruto paused at this. He though back to his fight with the wolves. He had used some strange power that had taken the form of a glowing blue bow and he had killed one of the wolves, but after that everything became fuzzy. The only thing he remembered was a large flash of blue light when he had thought he had been about to die. Maybe this was heaven and he had really died, but he realised that he wasn't in heaven when he noticed the splitting pain that was currently coming from his head. There wasn't any pain in heaven.
"The sky huh? Well why do you look like those weird men from my dreams with those strange blue bows?" Naruto inquired curiously, ignoring how his head throbbed. He had to learn more about his whereabouts now!
Uryu was shocked. From what the boy had said, it seemed that he was talking about the Quincy, but nobody was supposed to know about the existence of the Quincy. He had to get his grandfather, and fast! "Wait here!" he called to the other boy over his shoulder before running off to find his grandfather. He found him sitting on a large rock in the middle of a large clearing where they had planned to spend the day training. Gasping for breath after having had to run so fast he explained everything to his grandfather causing the old man to frown.
"Take me to see this kid" Soken said in a calm voice to his grandson. There was no use worrying about the child until he met him. He followed Uryu as a slightly faster pace than he usually walked at until they reached the boy. As Soken studied the boy he was surprised. The child had a Quincy cross! Not only that, he looked almost the same as Uryu! Sure his grandson had slightly darker eyes and wasn't wearing those peculiar clothes, but they were basically twins! He gapped at the two for a few more seconds before getting a hold of himself, there was no use getting worked up over this, he would just have to act calmly like always. Soken walked up to the boy slowly and sat down while smiling to make the boy more comfortable.
"Would you mind telling me your name and how you got here?" he asked in his grandfatherly voice that he normally used on Uryu.
Naruto's eyes widened. What should he do? He could lie and say that he didn't remember anything but this man might be able to help him. He furrowed his brows, thinking deeply, and then he had an idea. If the wind had led him to strange cross necklace maybe it could help him now! So Naruto closed his eyes and listened to the wisps of wind that flowed around him, feeling more at peace than ever.
Soken and Uryu were confused. Soken had just asked the boy a question and the boy proceeded to close his eyes and pretend that they didn't exist. Soken was about to ask the boy another question when he opened his electric blue eyes and spoke in quite a serious voice for someone his age.
"My name is Akira. I was wandering around in a large forest near my home when I was spotted by a wolf." He paused to take a breath before continuing. "While looking for a place to hide I found a glove and a necklace" he held out his arm and picked up the necklace to show them. "When the wolf attacked me I somehow turned the glove into a bow and defeated it, but I can't remember anything else." There. It was just the basics and didn't tell anything about his village. If the two somehow earned his trust, he might tell them more, but for now he just gripped tightly to the small training kunai that he had tucked up one of his sleeves.
Soken was amazed by the boy's announcement. From the boy's story he deducted that the boy had somehow became a Quincy after finding the cross. It should have been impossible, yet there the boy sat.
"Do you know where your parents are?"
"They're dead sir; I have lived by myself for a year now." Soken was shocked. No child should have to loose both his parents at such a young age, and they should defiantly not have to live alone after that."
"How would you like to come back with me to my house?"
One Year Later…
A seven year old Akira Ishida sat with his grandfather and little brother. He had grown close to them over the past year as he grew stronger from the training he was given. Several months ago he had told both of them his real name and what had really happened. Soken had adopted him and allowed him to keep his made up name if he liked, and Akira chose to do just that. He didn't want to remember his old life. It was over now and he would never return, that had been decided when he was adopted. He had a true family now, so he had no need for Konoha anymore. Well, he might have been overdoing it a bit. Surely if someone found a way to send him back he would like to say goodbye to the Hokage and the ramen man.
As Akira and Uryu had started to grow they looked different, but still close enough to be brothers. Akira had been shocked about his hair and eyes at first but the black had soon faded out, leaving his hair a slightly paler blonde than before. Both of the boys wore the white Quincy outfits that they loved so much. The only huge difference between the two was their hair. While Uryu's black hair reached his neck, Akira had started to grow his hair out. Right now it hung just bellow his shoulders.
Today Soken was teaching Akira and Uryu how to control their powers better. He had been in the middle of a lecture when out of nowhere ten hollows appeared. Soken dodged and weaved through the attacks like an expert as he fired off as many arrows as he could. You could tell that he had once been a strong warrior, but the years had taken their toll on his body. As the fight dragged on his knees began to weaken and his hands shook as they sent off yet another arrow. Uryu and Akira noticed this and tried to reach their grandfather, but it was too late. They watched as if in slow motion as their grandfather was killed by a huge hollow. Uryu collapsed to the ground in horror. His grandfather had been the only adult that had understood him. He had taken him in and trained him in the ways of the Quincy so Uryu would be able to defeat the hollows that attacked their home, but what good was that now?
Seeing that the strongest of the humans had been killed the remaining hollows attacked the two boys. Akira hated the feeling of not being able to save his grandfather, but he feared loosing his new brother more. He would not let his brother die! With that determination he summoned his bow and an arrow with new strength. As he pulled out more and more power the arrows he was using had turned purple, but it went unnoticed. When he shot it, the arrow went straight through the first hollows mask, killing the foul beast with one blow. As Uryu saw his brother fighting for him he realised that he would be a fool to let his brother die as he sat on the ground, so he got over his weaknesses and helped his brother defeat the hollows.
As the last hollow died the two kids sunk to the ground in exhaustion when suddenly a person appeared in front of them. He was dressed in a black soul reaper uniform, but he could not have been a soul reaper, for if he was he would have helped the Quincy's, wouldn't he? Suddenly he stepped forward. He had long brown hair and blue eyes. He looked down at the two in disgust.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" he said in a rude voice "Two little Quincy's who are unable to fight." He continued as he unsheathed his blade, preparing to kill the two. Akira and Uryu looked at him in horror as he approached them. That man had let their grandfather die and now he was going to kill them while they couldn't fight back. Surely this had to be a joke. Their grandfather had told them that soul reapers were good people!
"Sorry, but orders are orders." The man laughed and brought down his sword, not sounding sorry at all.
Something snapped in Akira. His eyes turned red and his hair turned black once again. As he summoned all of his remaining power into one huge arrow it began to glow red and the wind whipped around him, forcing his brother and the bastard shinigami to close their eyes. When Akira shot the arrow it struck true, lodging deep within the man's head. The soul reaper didn't even have the chance to realize that he was dead before he collapsed to the ground. As Akira saw the man lying dead, his anger went away and the wind calmed down. They were out of danger for now, but as their adrenalin left their bodies they realised what had happened. Akira had killed something that was not a hollow for the first time and their loving grandfather was dead.
As Uryu looked over at his dead grandfather he collapsed to the ground crying, finally able to release his emotions now that the battle was over. As Akira watched his brother on the ground he felt sort of empty and his hands were shaking. That man would have killed his brother! He had had to stop him! So why was he feeling so damn sick? He shook those thoughts away and knelt down to comfort his crying brother. As he pulled Uryu into a hug Akira knew that he could never let Uryu be killed. Not even at the cost of hit own life. Those bastard shinigami would never kill the boy that he now considered as his only family, his little brother.
Nobody had noticed the curious color of Akira's bow because his brother's eyes were closed the whole time and the only shinigami that was patrolling the area was the one that Akira had killed. Not even Akira had noticed, as he was too concentrated on saving the life of his new brother.
