Disclaimer: I do not own bleach.

A.N.- Hope you've enjoyed this story so far. Hopefully it will get even better. Any how, just keep those reviews coming.

Krista's P.O.V: When we got to the main building, I could feel my heart pounding. My breath started to shorten and my vision started to blur. If it wasn't for the fact that Ishida was there by my side helping me walk. I was sure that I would have passed out at that moment. I was so nervous, that I even began to have tremors. There was a chair in the middle of the room. Ishida took me over to it. He stood behind me with his hands on my shoulders. Knowing that he was here, helped me clam down a bit.

Rukia: “M'Lord, I would like to present to you “The Human Hollow”.”

Lord: “We are here to discuss what you did to our people five years ago. Do you have any thing that you would like to say before we begin?”

I could speak, so I only shook my head.

Lord: “Then let the proceedings begin. First off, you are accused of killing about two hundred of our best men. Secondly, you decided to leave and not except your punishment. Do you deny any of these accusations?”

I shook my head again. My heart was starting to beat faster again.

Lord: “Where was she found at?”

Claire: “M'Lord, she was found at the school you sent me to. Then we found her house when I was looking for Kurosaki.”

Lord: “Is this true?”

I nodded in response.

Lord: “What were you doing at a school?”

Krista: “I-I was just…t-trying to get…a-a proper education.”

Lord: “Was there any other conducts that she was doing that we should know about?”

Rukia: “M'Lord, Mr. Ishida was found over at her house with multiple wounds. She seemed to be taking care of him.”

Lord: “Who is Mr. Ishida?”

He stepped forward and bowed down to him.

Ishida: “That would be me.”

Lord: “What were you doing over at her house?”

Ishida: “She was helping me train.”

Lord: “Train, for what?”

Ishida: “It is my goal to prove that Quincy's are better than Soul Reapers. She agreed to help me train so that I may beat Kurosaki.”

Lord: “Did you know of this, Kurosaki?”

Kurosaki: “I knew that he wanted to beat me, and I agreed to a rematch when he got stronger. I don't know that he was training with Krista.”

Lord: “So what were you thinking when you started to help him?”

Krista: “I saw the determination in his eyes that each if those rouge Soul Reapers had in there eyes. The only difference was, he's not planning on killing any one. He just wants to prove that he can win with his methods as a Quincy. So I decided to help him because I knew what it meant to have a dream that you wanted to work for.”

I started to get more confident as I said these words. I knew somehow that they heard what I was truly saying, even though I didn't say it quite right.

Lord: “Do you have any proof that they went rouge?”

Krista: “How do you think my eyes became this color?! It wasn't the way I was born. It was because I had to kill around two hundred Soul Reapers. Because they wanted to kill people and blame it on the Hollows. I even had to kill people who were closest to me. Some of those soul reapers I killed were like family to me. If I had a choice, I would take it all back and try another method.”

Lord: “What are you babbling about? You were born with red eyes, that is a symbol that you are a bloody thirsty demon.”

Kurosaki: “May I ask something M'Lord?”

Lord: “Yes.”

Kurosaki: “If Krista is such a bloody thirsty demon, then why is it that she hasn't killed anyone since then?”

Lord: “She had to hide after she killed the two hundred Soul Reapers. If she started killing again, then it would be easer for us to find her again.”

My body started to shake again. I could feel tears starting to spill from my eyes, but they were not normal tears. I fell to my knees and put my hands over my ears. I could hear the screams of all the people I had to kill. Each one was more shocking than the next. There were so many people screaming in my head, that I thought my head was going to explode. Ishida bent down and held me close to him. Tears started pouring down my cheeks. The court fell silent as they watched me cry. Then the screams could be heard by everyone. The Lord recognized some of the voices.

Lord: “AAARRRRGGGGG….What are you doing? Where are these voices coming from?”

Ishida felt something warms running down his shirt. He pulled me away to see what it was. Everyone was shocked. I was only crying and nothing more, yet there was blood running down his shirt. Then he lifted my face and saw that I was crying blood.

Krista: “Do you see…do you see what I have lived with for five years! The voices only get stronger in my head. I never have a moment's peace. I pay for my sins every day, and my eyes weren't always red.”

Lord: “Explain to me then. How did you come to having red eyes?”

Krista: “After I had killed them, I couldn't bear to be alive. I tried to kill myself multiple times, but they wouldn't let me. They wanted the truth to be known to all. They wanted me to live to tell you. Do you see now, how you chasing me down only made it worse? They were the ones who turned my eyes red, for they were green.”

The voices calmed down. Soft lights started to surround Ishida and I. Then they transformed into some of the people I had killed, some of my dearest friends.

Spirits: “Do not harm this child. If you do, then you are only condemning yourself. She did what she knew to be right and nothing more. When she found us, she gave us the one thing that we all wanted, but couldn't grant our self's. Thanks to her, we may now rest in peace.”

Lord: “So, she has been telling the truth the whole time?”

Spirits: “Yes.”

The Lord fell to his knees as he knew now that he had mad a terrible mistake. He decided that it would be best if no one remembered what had happened. So he erased all of there memories, even Krista's eyes went back to there normal color. The only evidence that was still there, was the blood that was on Ishida's shirt.

To be continued…
