Understanding II: School Daze (Bleach Fanfic)

Hollow Follow

Both teenagers arrived at the scene where the hollow was due to having similar speed. Ichigo began to charge forward with his sword to launch a melee attack, only to have what seemed to be an arrow shoot out and cut through the mask. Ichigo turned towards the Quincy. "Oi...that was mine!"

"You need to learn to be faster Kurosaki?" Uryu cocked his eyeglasses, pushing them further up his nose. The look on his face made it clear that he wasn't at all concerned with the fact Ichigo hadn't found the ability to act in a quick manner a problem of his.

"This is why I don't want to work with you!" the substitute soul reaper snapped. He tapped his foot on the ground with his zampaktuo swung over his shoulder and a frown upon his face.

"Then just leave the job to me," Uryu moved over to where Ichigo was. His voice filled with lecture. "That, or learn how to sense hollows..."

"Shut up." The orange teen began to walk off. The direction however wasn't towards the high school. Of course, the other boy recognized that the orange haired teenager wasn't heading back to the house either.

"Where are you going? We've got to get back to class," Uryu stated firmly. It wasn't as if another Hollow was going to pop up any time soon.

"I am not taking the same path as you!" the young man stated firmly. Something about the look on his face and Ichigo's posture told Uryu that he was trying to be sneaky about something but failing miserably.

"We need to get back to class," the young man sighed, pushing up his glasses again. There was no time to actually deal with other things.

"I am going to go get Toshiro's soul phone, all right," Ichigo threw a cold glare at the other boy, then shoved off towards the elementary school, despite the fact that he had been told it wasn't a good idea.

Uryu paused for a few second, then startled. "Hey! Didn't I tell you that was a bad idea?" Kurosaki simply ignored to him and moved over to the small school rather quickly with the Quincy hot on his heels. The darker haired teen spoke up, rather irritated that he wasn't being listened to. "How do you expect to be able to get in to get it?"

At that, Ichigo turned and gave him a rather funny look almost as if he thought the answer was obvious. "Don't you get that I'm invisible?"

"I can very much see you Kurosaki," the Quincy sighed. The look on his face said that he felt that was one of the stupidest things that he had ever heard.

"But you also can see spirits," the boy stated. He moved over to the window that he thought was the girls' classroom, or at least the one that he thought was the girl's classroom. He began to peek over the edge of the window. "The class can't."

"Shouldn't you ask Hitsugaya for it and not just take it?" Uryu pushed on his glasses again. He was rather nervous about the situation. While Ichigo was supposidly invisible to most eyes, he in fact wasn't.

"Don't worry! I will be asking him for it," Ichigo stated firmly. His hand waved the whole situation off.

"And how do you plan on getting an answer from him," came the second comment. The tone was rather monotone. "I also don't think..."

"If he sees me out here, he'll come out and ask me why I am here," Ichigo pressed his face up against the window. His face seemed to squish. "I'm not seeing him..."

"Kurosaki!" Uryu let out a sigh. He felt the need to get this whole thing resolved before someone caught sight of both of them, or only one of them. "Why would he have a phone at an elementary school? Logically speaking, wouldn't he have left it at home due to school rules?"

"You sure?" Ichigo began to head back towards the house. This was faster then Uryu could pipe up and he was soon out of an ear range where Uryu didn't have to yell at him.

"Seriously Kurosaki, if you could sense spiritual pressure you would already know that Hitsugaya Taicho isn't here," the Quincy pushed up his glasses just in time for one of the students to push the classroom window open.

"Sensei! There is a teenager outside dressed weird!" the boy blurted out with his glasses sitting upon his freckled face. He pointed at the young man.

"Weird clothing..." came the muttered reply.

"Seriously, what is with you three and lying about things. You're in the fifth grade and should be past this all ready," the teacher stated.

At that, Uryu quick stepped away and chased after the substitute Shingami. "Seriously, Kurosaki, you are trouble, you know that?"

"I don't need to depend on you, Uryu," the young man stated. He pushed forward with the wind in his ears.

"Kurosaki... what about your body?" the other teen sighed. Uryu couldn't help but remember that Kurosaki had left his empty shell of a body off in some alley way near the school.

"Huh?" Ichigo's mind was focused on the one thought at that time, still pushing forward. He then got to his window and began to climb through the window, only to find himself falling over something or someone on the bed and then falling to the floor. He sat straight up before noticing the white haired preteen lying on the bed. Toshiro had been staring at the ceiling and was now looking at him with a rather surprised look on his face. "Toshiro! What the hell are you doing here?"
