Chapter 4: I'm Not Ready Yet

Disclaimer: I do not own bleach.

A.N.- I hope you enjoy this next chapter. It tell you a bit more about Krista and Ishida.

Ishida P.O.V: I watched as Krista left. Not soon after I left. Her place was just a bit creepy. The next day, I was to attend school. My transfer papers had just come in and they told me to come in today. When I went up to the front office to get my papers, they said that I just missed the other new student. They said that they had also just transferred today as well and that we would be in the same class. I found the classroom that I was suppose to be in and knocked on the door. The teacher opened it and smiled when he saw me.

Teacher: “Class, I would like to introduce you to one of our new students today. His name is Uryu Ishida. In his last school he had the top marks of his class. If you would please set behind Mr. Kurosaki in that empty desk, we will get started.”

A girl came running into the classroom. I didn't think of anything at first. I just assumed her to be the new transferred student. I started to look down at my books. Then the teacher said something that caught my attention.

Teacher: “This is our other transfer student, her name is Krista. Please set beside Mr. Ishida.”

I looked up to see if it was her. I couldn't believe how different she looked in her uniform. She looked almost gentle in it compared to the cloths she was wearing yesterday, quite the opposite actually. She smiled and waved at me before she took her seat. At lunch, I choose to eat by myself, but people kept coming over to me wanting to know more about me. I just sat there quietly and ignored all of them. I started to get up, and saw that Krista was coming over towards me, so I sat back down for now. She stood beside me with a warm smile.

Krista: “Would you like to eat outside in the grass with me?”

At first I didn't know how to respond. I thought she might have wanted to ask some more questions about me being a Quincy.

Ishida: “Sure.”

I gathered my lunch and followed her outside. She had a blanket set up under a tree. We sat down and observed the people that walked by. It felt rather nice out side today. Especially when the warm gentle breeze brushed against my face. I looked over at Krista wondering why she had asked me to come out here with her. She hadn't even attempted to ask me anything.

Krista: “…Is something wrong?”

Ishida: “uh, I was just wondering…”

Krista: “Why I asked you out here?”

Ishida: “Well, yeah.”

Krista: “I could sense that you wanted to be left alone.”

Ishida: “How? I mean, you were out here the whole time weren't you?”

Krista: “Yes, but that is one of the gifts of who I am. I have higher sense then most people.”

After that, I didn't ask her another question. We stayed out there until it was time for gym class, which was only and inch away from where we ate at. I helped Krista fold up her blanket before we headed over to class. When everyone finally got there. The coach started to tell us what we were doing.

Coach: “Today, we are going to see what everyone is good at. So we will have a bit of friendly competition today. You will all take turns doing running, jumping, and climbing. Now the boys will start out with running and the girls will start with climbing. I will be over here with the boys and the assistance coach will be with you girls. Good luck.”

Krista didn't seem to worried about this class, unlike all of the other girls. I went over to the track course and got ready. When ever I could, I would look over to see if I could see her. I didn't have much luck though. When we started the race, Kurosaki and I finished the fastest. I was the same for the climbing and jumping. We got dome before the girls did, so we were allowed to go and set on the benches and watch. Out of the twelve girls in our class, only two of them could actually climb the ropes. It was a girl that I didn't know her name, and Krista. On the running and jumping, Krista was fastest, she was even faster then most of the guys. The coach was amazed at her speed and agility. She had finished before the others, so she came over and sat beside me.

Ishida: “Are you able to that so easily because of your job?”

Krista: “That and the fact that I had to train a lot in the mountains by myself.”

Every time I see her, she seems different some how. Like she tries to keep her self distance from everyone. Kurosaki came down and sat on the other side of me.

Kurosaki: “Do the two of you know each other. It seems like every chance you two get, you're together.”

Ishida: “We meet yesterday.”

There was a girl beside him, her name was Claire. I didn't know the relation between the two, nor did I really care. I just wanted to prove to him that I was better. That Quincy's can beat Soul Reapers. I think I will challenge him after school.

Coach: “All right, the scores are in. The best scores in the men's were Kurosaki and Ishida who tied. Best for girls was Krista who was outstanding in all fields. Ok now, you have the rest of this period to do as you please. Until tomorrow.”

This was the last period for us, so we didn't have to stay for the cram session. Most of us went home, but Krista stayed with me. I had a feeling that she knew exactly what I was fixing to do. I waited until Claire left Kurosaki, and then I approached him.

Ishida: “Kurosaki, I know that you are a Soul Reaper, and I would like to challenge you to see who is better once and for all.”

Kurosaki: “Ho-how did you know that I am a Soul Reaper?”

Ishida: “Your Reiraku-Spirit Ribbon is red, where normal people are white. That is how I know that you are a Soul Reaper.”

The spirit ribbons were all around me, an d I held onto Kurosaki's.

Ishida: “So what do you say? Do you think you can beat a Quincy?”

Kurosaki: “I'm not sure why you want to fight me, but if it's a fight you want. Then it's a fight you'll get. Where should we go to?”

Krista: “I know of a place that is safe and that no one will be in any harm. I can take you there right now if you like.”

I was right when I said that Krista knew what I was up to. She led us near to her home, but instead of going in it. We went around to the back. Behind her house was a huge field of unimaginable size, but then again it's hard enough just to find her house. Kurosaki and I got ready to battle. The fight went on for hours, not one of us was ready to give an inch, but I knew that I could not defeat him as soon as I touched his sword. My Kojakun - The Lone Sparrow - grew more powerful. I knew then, that if he ever learned to control his spiritual energy, that I would never stand a chance.

Ishida: “I-I resign.”

Kurosaki: “What! You mean you started this whole thing, and you're not even going to finish it?”

Ishida: “There is no point for me to keep trying. I know now that I was too rash in my decision to fight you. I need to become stronger first. Promise me…promise me that when I get stronger, that you will allow me to fight you again.”

Kurosaki: “Ok.”

To be continued…
