Chapter 3: Meet the Hunter

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach.

A.N.- Hey, so how has every one's spring break going? I hope you've been having fun. I also hope that you will like what you read in this next chapter. So without further adieu, here is chapter 3.

Krista's P.O.V.: I'm walking through the wreckage that happened to long ago in the East sector. There, I saw families looking at what use to be there home. They were trying salvage whatever they could, but it wasn't much. They were lucky if they found a picture frame in this mess. I started to leave this area and check on another when I felt a huge amount of spirit energy. I followed it to the other side of the east sector. There stood a teenage boy with crying children surrounding him. He looked as if he didn't know what to do. So I went over there to help him, and to see if that was him that was emitting the spiritual energy.

Krista: “Looks like you could use some help.”

The boy looked over at me as I mad my way over to them. He seemed shocked as I got closer to him.

Boy: “Uhhh…oh. Um, I was trying to help these kids find on of there friends. We haven't had much luck yet thought.”

He looked down at the ground as he said this. It looked like they had been searching a while too. His cloths and the children's were covered in ash and dirt. Somewhere behind me, I could hear a child coughing in the debris. I looked aback and could see no one. I trusted my hearing and followed the sound. The boy and children were following close behind me. I came to a halt in front of what use to be an orphanage. I could still hear a child coughing in the debris, so I assumed that there must be a pocket in the debris where the child was trapped. I started to slowly remove the debris until I saw the child. I picked her up and held her in my arms.

Krista: “Is this the child that you were looking for?”

The children were now surrounding me. There faces lit up with joy of seeing that she was safe.

Boy: “We probably should take her to the hospital. It looks like she might have gotten ash in her lungs. I can take you over there on my motorcycle after I see them to safety.”

I nodded and waited for him to return. The child seemed pretty calm for everything that had happened. About ten minutes had passed, and I could see the boy on his motorcycle coming this way. I got on the back of the bike and gently placed the girl between us on the seat. Then I leaned her against me and wrapped my arms around him. He headed off towards the hospital and got us there rather fast. The girls coughing had started to get worse. He dropped me off at the front door. I got off and picked up the girl. I took her in as he went to park his bike. I went up to one of the doctors and told him what had happened. He took the girl from me and took her back immediately. When I turned around, the boy was standing behind me.

Boy: “I thank you for your assistance. Without you, I don't think we would have found her in time.”

Krista: “I was glade to help.”

He reached out his hand. I reached out and we shook hands.

Boy: “By the way, my name is Uryu Ishida.”

Krista: “Mine is Krista. Um…may I ask you something?”

Ishida: “I guess.”

Krista: “How is your spiritual energy that powerful?”

He looked like he was token back by this question. He was quite for a while.

Ishida: “You can sense my spiritual power?”

Krista: “That's what led me to you in the first place.”

Ishida: “I am a Quincy, but what are you?”

Krista: “I am a Hunter.”

Ishida: “A Hunter? I thought that there were no more Hunters left.”

Krista: “You are correct. There are no more left.”

Ishida: “Then how do you know about them?”

Krista: “I just told you, I am one.”

Ishida: “…?”

Krista: “Look, I can't tell you here. There are too many people around. Come to my place later and I shall tell you, but first lets make sure the child is safe.”

He was awfully quite after that. He would look over at me as if he wanted to ask something, but then he would go back into his thoughts. About half an hour later, the doctor I gave the kid to came up to us.

Ishida: “How is she?”

Doctor: “Thanks to you two. She is going to be fine. I've called the new orphanage that she will be in from now on. they are sending some people over to get here. Oh, and the little girl told me to tell you `thank you for saving me'.”

We thanked the doctor before we left. I showed Ichida how to get to my home. When we got there, there was a man waiting for me at the door.

Man: “Did you get the pendent?”

I reached inside of my coat pocket and pulled out a pendent that had been covered in blood. I tossed it over to him. He examined it for a few seconds. Then he threw me a bag. Before I looked in it, he had already started to leave. I walked up to the front door and unlocked it. I opened the door and motioned for Ichida to come in. As he looked around in he started to get a worried expression on his face. The only thing that was in my house was a couch, a small television, a stove, and a refrigerator. On my walls were all kinds of different weapons. Swords, switch blades, cross bows, hook shots, etc. (list could literally go on forever).

Krista: “Please have a seat and make yourself comfortable. Do you want anything to eat or drink?”

Ishida: “I-I'm fine.”

I sat down beside him on the couch after hanging my weapons up.

Krista: “So, you want to know how I am a Hunter huh?”

This seemed to help him a little. He didn't seem as nervous when I brought the subject up.

Ishida: “Yes, how is it possible that you're a Hunter?”

Krista: “I was not born like most humans. I was born out of the memories of those who wanted there trade to live on. After the war with the Hollows, all of the Hunters died. There will to continue stayed in this world though. Soon, all of the wishes of the fallen Hunters gathered together and created me. I am the result of there last wishes. Do you understand now?”

Ishida: “Kind of, but didn't there kind die over one hundred years ago? And if so, how old are you, if you don't mind me asking.”

Krista: “So you figured out parts that I didn't even tell you huh. Yes it is true that that was a hundred years ago. Which would make me one of the oldest people on earth, if I had been born instantly. Instead, I was born fifteen years ago. So I am probably the same age as you.”

He started going off in thought again. My cell phone started to ring (moonlight sonata), I answered it immediately. It was one of my customers. He wanted me to meet him in the usual place.

Krista: “I have to go now, but you are welcome to stay here as long as you want.

To be continued…
