Candy Anime Luver: This story was so messed up, I decided to rewrite it…
---
Smiles. Everyone thinks of it as something that comes to you naturally, but in reality, they are gifts. Gifts that have to be bought, with either love or friendship. But some people have locked away their smiles, and their smiles cannot come out. Take Ichigo Kurosaki, for example. After witnessing his mother's death, he no longer smiles and wears a big frown. Even though he was a big softie on the inside, he hid behind the scowl, and refused to come out after that fateful day when his mother died.
During practice on that faithful day, Tatsuki's whole world changed. She remembers getting all weak, and seeing two people appear in the middle of the field. One had green eyes, and one was very huge. She remembers them calling her "trash", and she almost got killed. She remembers the quick women with purple hair, and that candy shop owner-Urahara-san- drawing a sword and calling it "Beni-hime". Ichigo had a sword too, but his was in a thing called "bankai" and it was black. Back then, she was worthless. So, she decided to be stronger. She didn't want to be protected anymore. She had always protected other people.
But now, she was the one getting protected. Orihime Inoue, her best friend since Ichigo, had gone into that giant crack in the sky. She knew it. She saw it. She felt like running over there and clobber the weird, emo person with green eyes taking her, but she couldn't walk on air. And she had also heard what her beat friend had said to Ichigo while he was asleep. She had a bad feeling, and she had been hiding behind the door. "I still think I would fall in love with the same person over and over again…" she had said.
Now, she was getting protected by Orihime. Her best friend, hearing Tatsuki, had knocked her out. When she woke up, Orihime was gone. Literally. She couldn't feel Orihime. She had always known where Orihime was, for some strange reason, So when Ichigo came back to school, she confronted him. She knew that Ichigo knew where Orihime was. So when Ichigo had replied, "It's none of your business," she felt like killing right there and then. So she punched him into the window.
The next day, Ichigo wasn't there. Neither was Uryuu or Chad. She knew where they went. To rescue Orihime. And Tatsuki was going too. She was going to get stronger and stronger, until she could proudly stand by Ichigo's side and be worthy enough to hear what happened from her own friends.
The next day, she went to visit Urahara-san.
