Alright so this is the first chapter to my Zanpakutou series!

Orihime is up first!

I guess it's because her's came to my head just like that.

Anyways pleased to present chapter one of my story My ShiroRyuu!

Disclaimer: Don't own bleach!

She never knew the feeling that threatened to consume her each day. Ever since she came back from saving Rukia from her execution, she had strange dreams of a dragon. At first she thought it was just her imagination playing tricks on her. But the feeling got more stronger when she was sleeping. Orihime would feel light headed and queasy. Almost as if someone watched her every movement from within her very soul.

She was more and more paranoid as every day passed. She would be talking to Tatsuki at school and she would stop talking only to feel her heart pulse. She would hold her chest and feel a slight pain and her face would turn pale. It happened more frequently when she would be near Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Uryu, or Chad. They would ask her each time if she was alright. She would just shrug it off and say she was just daydreaming.

When Grimmjow first came and she couldn't help fight due to her injuries, something called out to her. She couldn't hear the voice all to well since it was a whisper. But she knew something was there. She would turn and look all around her but she couldn't confirm where the voice was coming from. It would creep her out more and more. After Rukia was healed due to being seriously injured by Grimmjow, she looked around.

She heard the voice as if it were right beside her. But what she never expected was that her arm was totally healed. The weird part was she never healed herself. Tsubaki was also revived. Which shocked her because Rukia noticed it. She wondered how she did that. When Ichigo and Renji asked her, she shook her head and told them that she didn't summon Shuno or Ayame. But they told her that while she was healing Rukia, a white glow surrounded her and she was more stronger. They also said that her reiatsu was almost as strong as Ichigo's which shocked her completely.

So when she stood up, what shocked everyone the most was that her outfit changed from normal clothes into a Shihakushō. She looked at everyone's faces before she turned to look at her own clothing. The only difference was that her Shihakushō was actually white and light blue instead of pure black. It was different from a captain's. She didn't even need a gigai! She was able to materialize into a soul reaper and hide her presence so it wouldn't upset the balance between the souls. She never had a zanpakuto attached to her side either. It wasn't even on her back.

"Where's your zanpakuto Orihime-Chan?" Rangiku asked. She never knew of many soul reapers who never had a soul cutter.

"How are you a soul reaper Inoue? This doesn't make any sense at all!" Ichigo was too shocked. This never happened to him so he was the most shocked out of everyone.

"Did you die Orihime-San?" Renji asked.

"No I never died Renji-Kun. I honestly don't know how I am a soul reaper Kurosaki-Kun. I felt really weird ever since we came back from saving Rukia-Chan." She explained. It was true. She would have dreams about a dragon coming to talk to her. But all it did was whisper her name. Nothing else. It never anything else.

"Maybe being exposed to soul reapers awakened her inner powers. Do you know your zanpakuto's name Orihime?" Rukia calmly asked.

It's name? She thought. It never occured to her that she could be a soul reaper let alone know the name of her powers. She knew she had her Shun Shun Rikka, but even they never knew about these powers. Just then a vision of the Dragon came into her mind. She started to Pulse and everyone noticed that she fell on her knees holding her head. The dragon's voice kept coming in clearer, begging for release.

"Orihime-San! Are you okay? What's wrong?" Toushirou and Renji asked.

She felt everyone's gazes on her and she started to get really nervous. The dragon kept roaring at her, seeking for acceptance. It started to beg for her to be released in front of everyone. This creature trusted her friends and wanted to make her appearance. The only problem was that Orihime needed to make that decision. Finally the dragon talked to her.

"Please show me to everyone Orihime." she calmly spoke.

Orihime gasped when she heard the dragon talk. "Are you sure? Is this what you want?"

"I'm positive. If you don't call my name, your reiatsu will start to leak everywhere and people will start to collapse. Do you want that?"

"No. I don't want others to suffer because of me."

"Then stand up. Look at your friends and say my name."

Orihime shook her head lightly. She took her hands off her head and stood up, causing everyone to look at her. She took a step back so she had the space and ripped off her bandages around her arm. She flexed it so it would stiffen up. She dropped it to her side and held out her other arm.

"Orihime?" Rukia was the first one to ask. Everyone else gasped as they saw the white glow engulf her once again.

She looked at them and whispered "Shine, ShiroRyuu."

That's when they saw the zanpakuto form right in front of their eyes.

A/N: Ohh a Cliffhanger! It's my first time doing one! I'm so happy! YAY!

Ahem anyways ShiroRyuu means White Dragon. I wanted to think of something that was easy to remember but made more sense to Orihime's powers.

This may turn into IchiHime in future chapters.

I thought that it was more better if she got her powers after Grimmjow came into the picture.

Anyways, tell me what you think! I will try to update as much as possible!

Oh and I will be redoing some chapters and changing some of the contents. Just to try and make the story more enjoyable ;)

Review please!
