Blossoms of Love
Byakuya x Orihime
Author's Note:
Well then. I bet all of my other readers that are following… 'The Fight for Two Worlds' (InuYasha/Bleach X-Over) & 'Vocal High' (Vocaloids high school fic) are just mad that I'm writing this new fic.
Okay so yes it is a BYAKUYAxORIHIME fic… not very common- but I think the couple is really cute. This will be a multi-chapter story… but a short story… so merhhh. On with the show!
Prologue- In Not So Many Words
It had been about two years since the end of the Winter War.
The end of Aizen, the Hykyogu, and the end of what was the making of the Kings Key.
But, it was also the end of any idea Orihime had of still 'being' with her long time crush- Ichigo Kurosaki.
It had become quite obvious that he would never reciprocate her feelings, and she had accepted the fact.
In not so many words she had confessed to him. And equally he said in –not so many words- that he would only think of her as a dear friend or a sister rather.
Though Orihime had quite accepted the fact that it would always be the relationship between them long ago- it still hurt a little…
Though this mutual understanding towards each other… it still would have hurt Orihime more, that is- if she had not been taken to Hueco Mundo.
Yes, Orihime had developed feelings for Ulquiorra, the Cuarto Espada, her caretaker.
And she had lost her feelings of strong love and compassion for Ichigo, they had simply turned into ones for a brother or a close friend.
But why did Orihime put herself through the embarrassment of telling Ichigo –in not so many words- that she formerly had feelings for him?
She believed that though they had reduced to what he felt for her- she believed Ichigo deserved to know of what she felt for him in the past.
Why did this fact still hurt Orihime a little- despite the fact she had practically gotten over him?
Easy- knowing that Ichigo had only thought of her in the friendly way- when she had thought of him romantically, was just a little awkward.
And so what happened to the town that -Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu, Chad and the others had fought for- after the war ended?
Karakura Town would never be the same again.
Unbeknownst to the Soul Society or any of their associates, Aizen had a last back-up plan that would keep the Soul Society Vizords and Humans on their toes for years to come.
They were the failed creations of the Hokyogu; monstrous hollows. They easily can rip through the dimensional wall dividing the human world and Hueco Mundo.
Not to mention these creatures are formidable one on one, but when a group of sizes of ten to fifteen would converge on the town of Karakura- it was and is quite a bit more than Ichigo and his friends could handle.
And that is where our story begins- one year after the winter war,
and these new hollows are getting much to difficult for the Karakura Town Hero's can handle.
So for reinforcements, a special battalion of soul reapers were assembled and sent to help protect the town against the new bread of hollow.
This special battalion included members that were picked specifically for their ability to work together, reitsu levels and/or their knowledge of the area.
The soul reapers making up this special battalion are stated as of the following;
Byakuya Kuchki as battalion captain, Renji Abarai as battalion vice captain, Rukia Kuchki as battalion member -1st seat and Hanataro Yamada as battalion member medic.
~Present Day~
"So, in not so many words- this is going to be one heck of a time were gonna have here." Kisuke Urahara said with a wry grin on his face, as he and the others fro Karakura waited to greet the special battalion.
Orihime sighed and looked forward at the doors between the human world and Soul Society that appeared before her.
And her eyes, along with everyone else that was awaiting the arrival of the battalion- squinted as the bright light flooded their vision.
But as the doors shut there they stood the battalion...
Authors Note:
Sorry not much ByakuHime-ness in this one. But there will be! Mwahaha! Oh yeah & in case you didn't get it….
Orihime stopped liking Ichigo, but still felt that he should know the feelings she used to harbor. It's kind of like a personal obstacle she's had to over come.
Well it's 5:20 A.M. and I need to finish Star Wars- Revenge of the Sith… harhar :3
