It was snowing today and it was pretty cold too.
"Hey stop the car."
A man with orange hair, stepped out of the car.
"Gyaaaah! Gyaaaah!"
That was
He looked at the crying creature with hooded eyes, not bothering to pick it up yet. The creature was wrapped around with a pink blanket and was inside a basket, her ahir reached just above her ears. The color of it was kind of a burnt orangey color.
The Second Winter Since I Came To Live In the Human World.
'What is this tiny thin?' he thought as he took a few more steps closer to the crying creature. 'I just though it will kill some time.'
"Welcom back Kurosaki-sama~" a tall man, dressed in all black ,except for the white collored shirt peeping out of his jacket. He had marking on his face,too. "What the hell! Is that a human baby?" he exclaimed," Where the hell did you get it?" Renji asked , looking at the bundle in Ichigo's arms, who was still crying.
"It was left at the gate where I picked it up." Ichigo muttered with an uninterested look on his face.
"I-In such a cold day?" exclaimed a short petit woman with raven black hair that reached her shoulders and curled a little at the ends. One bang hangining in between her eys."It was probably abandoned..." she muttered.
"GYAAAH!"
"I regretted it two seconds after I picked it up." bringing his left hand up he covered on of his ears , since he was holding the crying baby with one hand. And by holding he actually just grabbed the baby from the blanket it was curled in. Handing it to Rukia, he continued to look down at the crying figure.
"Wht is it crying so much?" Ichigo asked, handing the figure to Rukia.
Cradaling the yong human the suggested ,"She's probably hungry."
After a while the crying stopped, the orange-haired demon looked down and noticed that the child stopped crying and was currently looking up at him, with a curious look on her face. Looking back with the same reaction, he saw her lips going up, next thing he knew she was smilling at him as if it were the easest thing to do, even though there were stil some tears at the ends of her eyes.
"Smiling at a demon, your pretty gutsy brat." the demon then started poking at the laughing human.
"When they say smile like a princess, they must've of meant something like this." muttered Renji, looking back and forht at the two figures in front of him.
"A princess?" questioned Ichigo. Lifting the smiling princess, who was currently stretching her arms out to touch him,a samll smile appearing on his face,he decided to give her a name." Alright, that's your name, Orihime. Your going to live here fro now on." Her her laguh, he smirked.
"Eh-! Baka your doing something stupid again." Exclaimed Renji and Rukia in usion.
Life on earth is pretty boring but I thought this would be a good way to kill time.
If she get's troublesome
I can abandon her as punishment.
That was my concerned attitude.
And so 14 years passed.
"...Too bright." A man holding a tea cup, that was currently being brought up to his lips, muttered. It was sunny and there was barely a cloud in sight, he was currently outside. A few trees here and there. "Why do I have to drink tea on such an afternoon." Ichigo muttered. Wearing a colored shirt and ripped jeans, his sweater behind him hanging on his chair.
"Well you didn't want to make Orihime-sama cry." Renji exhaled, eyebrows furrowed.
"We gotta stop spoiling her." Ichigo muttered looking uo at his butler who was currently holding on to his laugh.
Dumbass, you said that but you still spoil her.
"ICHIII~" turning around after hearingg his named being called, Ichigo saw a smiling teenage girl with short aubrun hair, that reached her shoulders. She was wearing a white dress that reached a little above her knees, and had little poofs for the shoulder, it also had a square neckline. The design was normal, a flower was placed on her right breast, for design.
"Look," she chirped," Isn't it pretty?"
"Ah!" Renji exclaimed,"Orihime-sama! Did you cut that rose? The rose that took Rukia forever to grow?"Of course he knew, since he tried cutting it himself, and was beaten into a pulp for even touching it. He also remembered her saying that if it was ever cut, she kick his ass for not preventing it.
"EH? I'm sorry." Orihime whisoered, looking down to the ground for getting something she wasn;t suppose to. But she couldn't help it, it so beautiful she thought it would make the dress even more pretty. Glancing up at the red-headed butler, she noticed his face was turning a little red itself almost mathing his hair. She then got an idea.
"I'll give themto Ichi then~" sid person looked suprise, and glanced down at the rose that was being handed to him. His eyes dropped a lttle, he grabbed it by the stem (I think that's what it's called) and looked at it closely.
"Orihime...Don't you understand..." noticeing the questioned look on her face, he gripped the rose harder," If they touch us demons,the flowers will with.' that said the rose started to crumble, he continued to look at it until he heard her speaking.
"Hai, your a demon!" pointing at him she continued," And you ahven't aged since I was a kid, you're a 200 year old ojii-chan!" the teen exclaim, not noticing the irritated look on the demons face.
"What the- Who are you calling an old man!" Ichigo growled." The rate people age and demons age is you knew then why do you still bring me flowers."
It's OK." she laguhed." I want to give you flowers. A, you have a petal suck on your head." She stretched her arm out to grab the petal, but ichigo moved his head down, bringning her arm donw she was about to do it again, but the demon moved again.
"..." Ichigo plucked the petal off his hair. And Orihime was panting since she was trying very hard to grab said object. She looked at him with a frown on her face." What's with that face." he asked, petal crumbling awayon his hand.
"Why did you avoid me when I tried to touch you?" she asked, a sad expression on her face.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"It's just your imagination."
"Hmph."
Ichigo brought his hand up and placed his chin on it, still looking at the young teen. Noticing the leaves rustleing tu started to get a little windy."The wind's picking up." Renji said from behind the shivering Orihime. She had her arms placed on each should, her left hand on her right should and her right hand placred on her left shoulder, she was also shking a little too. Noticing this Ichigo got up and placed his black jacket over her head, and started to walk away.
"Orihime, finish playing before night 's to bright so I'm going inside." he waved good-bye and walked inside.
She was just suppose to "Pass the Time" but...
Orihime smiled after he left brought the jacket closer to her face.
I'm scared now.
It was early moring, when the sound of a door wasbeing banged openind, and a girl with short auburn-hair walkined inside.
"ICHI~!" she was wearing a skirt and a shirt with a little skull on it. She was wearing converse to, they were black and white."
Lying on his stomache, arms underneath his pillow, Ichigo turned to see who was calling his name so early in the morning.
"WAKE UP!" the teen exclaimed, walking closer to the queen sized bed, full of big on the bed, since she did this every morining, she continued to try and wake the demon up.
"Ichi~"
"Orihime...Knock before you enter." wanting to go back to sleep he tried closing his eyes.
"But you don'y do that yourself." Orihime suddnely said, sending a curios look at the hlf-sleep Ichigo.
It's fine for me, because I'm great."
"Eh~"
Turning on his back, Ichigo raised his arm over his forehead."I just fell asleep, dammit. I hate the afternoons."Ichigo muttered.
There's a said so." She stared don at him.
"A guest."he questioned.
"It's you. Keigo." A scowl was on the orange-haired demon.
Keigo was his sel-declared friend. But to Ichigo he was a perverted, oversexed youngman who would do anything to catch womens attention. He was those people who would make you laugh even if he didn't want to, and whenever he'd Ichigo he'd always try to give hime a hug. Though he stpped after realizing that most of the women thought he was going for the same team.
"Hey I-chi-go!" he exclaimed once seeing said demon."Has it been 50 years?" asked Keigo." You're still as growchy as always! You should have gotten used to the sun already...um," the brunette atopped after watching the other deman ay down on the long black couch in front of him, and noticed the scowl that was in his face." WHAT IS THIS...GEEZ- YOU DO THIS WHEN AN OLD FRIEND GOES THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF COMING TO PLAY!" he exclaimed with tears going down his cheeks.
Ichigo turned to look at the crying and annoying demon, with a glare on his face."I don't remember being friends with an idot like you." Gaze going up to the ceiling he continued," And stop making all that noise."
"BWAH?" the brunette stopped what he was doing when e noticed was also looking at hime with supriseness.
"Hee.. So you're the girl living with Ichigo!" he exclaimed raising a hand to his to wave at the teen."
'Noisy' Ichigo thought.
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Keigo Asano, Ichigo's friend.
"Just an acqiantice."
"Aborable princess, what's your name?" the brunette asked, a smile gracing his face.
She tried hiding behing the couch." Or- It's Orihime."
Ichigo turnd to look at the girl behind him, pointing at the door," Orihim if you get too close to this idot, you'll catch his stupidity." He saw the look on her face and continued ," Runaway that way, near the door." With that said , he saw Orihime run to hide behind the door they came in.
Noticing that the girl , named Orihime, left Keigo started to speak." There's been rumors going on about you in the demon world." standing up he turned his back to the orange-head," That the great deamon,Ichigo, taking off from hell and living on the surface." A smile still graced the perverted demon, while Ichigo began to sit up, eyes closed with disinterest.
"To make matters worse, you're also raising a human child." said object was still standing behind the door with both hands on the door and a questiong gaze on her face since she couldn't hear anything.
Keigo continued," Even the elders are angry."
Ichigo turned his head to look at the brunette." I see." So the idiots sent you here to take me back." His brows furrowed when he got a nodd back in return.
"Yup, that and," came Keigo as he bowed to he came face to face, his hand was raised to his chest," they also said" Quickly return the human child and Return," A troubledlook appeared on Ichigo's face." Was the command."
A happy look appeared on his face," I was asked because you and I are buddis-' he was interrupted with a punch to his face.
"Who the hell siad I was you budd?" Ichigo muttered, sending another oounch to the other demon. What they didn't notice was the trouble look on someones face.
That reminds me. When I left Hell, everyone around me was making a fuss.
"Kurosaki-sama, where are yoou goning?"
"T the surface." he said nonchantly.
"T-To the human wolrd? What kind of business are you_"
"No business." A tied up Renji and RUkia were on the floor trying to wiggle themselves out of the ropes.
All of the followers triedto flatter me.
"EH-?" they other butlers exclaimed in usion." Please wait Kurosaki-sama!" a man with with black spikey hair asked." YOu're a Demon of highstanding." He continued on" You bear the future of the Demon World.."
"Not really. " Ichigo lifted one leg to the opened window," It's boring, and I'm not interested in that." With that said, the demon jumped out ofthe wind, a pair of wings came out of his back. He also draged a tied up Rnji and Rukia, who were currently yelling at there master.
But from the beginning, I was already detached from everything.
So I got tired of ithe quiet lifestyle on the surface after a year.
But, that's when I picked up Orihime.
A figure showing a man looking down at a crying baby.
I didn't understand anything about kids, so i summoned maids from the demon world.
" When people say a smile like a princess, they must have meant something like this." one of the maids cooed, she had long hair that was braided all the wayy to the bottom, but instead of it being in the back it was placed in the front. Rukia was in front of the women, saying that if she were dressed in a bunny suit, she might be cuteter than chappy.
' A princess...' he thought as he walked past them.
Yes she was just something to pass the time.
Then several years later.
Ichigo was walking throught the halls of his home, when he heard foot steps coming from behind him. Eyes widening he turned around a saw, a little girl with short auburn hair, wearing a pink dress that reached her knees and white sandals on her little feet.
She started to smile, when he started to scowl at the little girl.
Orihime didn't try to flatter me or ingratiate herself to me.
Taking step after step he continued to walk, while she made littlepad noises.
She just kept close to me, smiling like there's no care in the world.
Ichigo immediately stopped walking when he heard somthing, or someone, fall. He turned around and saw her on her hands and knee ' Trying to sit down'
She looked up to him, but instead of crying ... she grinned.
'Is she stupid?' he thought a glare forming on his face.
Noticing Renji and Rukia coming his direction he told them, "MAKE HER STUDY THE SAME THINGS YOU IDIOTS STUDY!"
"Yes , sir." they said in usion, wnating to pummel they're master, but they would save ttat until later.
But, no matter how cultured she became,
"Ichi-" A girl with hair that reached her shoulders came runniong," A flower for you!" she exclaimed a big, huge, supernove smile appeared on her face. She was holding a pink rose btween her hands.
She remained as always, kept close to me, smiling like and idiot.
Taking the rose in his hands, he scowled at it wating for it to wither like they always do.
It's perplexing
As if on cue the rose died, breaking into pieces and turning black.
Because I've never had anyone smile so inoccently for me-
Sitting next to the window looking out , eyes hooded, he was still wearing his ripped jeans and black t-shirts. 'I was remembering the past.'
He heard a knock to his door," Kurosaki-sama, I've brought her here."
Seeing Renji closing the door Orihime called out to him ",Ah Renji-kun~!"
"Oh, Orihime-sama, what is it?"
Holding her pillow closer to her chest, a blush started to appear on her face, turning her head to the side,"Um, I was... thinking about,,, sleeoing with Ichi." She tried to cover her face the the pillow in her arms.
"The idiot is currently having his dessert so..." he tried to smile at the girl, but she wasn't looking at him she was looking at the door he closed.
"Dessert?" blush now gone she continued to looking at the closed door. A curios look now covering her face.
"Ah! Is it the person whose blood he always takes?" she asked, excitemnet fill her face. "I've never met her!"
"Orihime-sama!" Renji yelled, trying not tolet the girl open the door and interupt the feast inside.
Opening the door , Orihime slide her head inside." Ichi-!" But stopped what she was going to say. A black-haired women, head raised up and facing the ceiling eyes half-lided and mouth parted were sitting on his bed, and the curains were open. She was sitting on the orange heads lap, gripping his shoulders, while he held her by her waist with one arm and the other was holding her head. Bting into her skin ,she gripped him harder.
Feeling like he was being watched, Ichigo opened his eyes moving his gaze to the open door. He saw a wide eyed Orihime looking at him, she was also grippig the pilliow in her arms tighter." Oh, It's you." letting go of the hair he was grabbing, he brought his hand to wipe the blood dripping off his chin, licking it after getting it off."Didn't I tell you to always knock before coming in." He was still looking at the shocked girl.
Orihime looked to the side, a blush covering her cheeks. Her eyebrows furrowed, "Wh-What are you doin?" she questioned still not looking at him, and if possibleshe gripped the pillow tight to her chest.
Getting up he walked to the blushing redhead ,"Demons like human blood." he answered as if it were the most obvioe thing, "You know that, right?" Ichigo asked in return, still looking at her.
"If so, my blood should be goo enogh!" Orihime exclaimed, before pointing at the women who was currnetly fixing her hair into pigtails again."Who is that woman? Even thought you don't let me touch you..." she paused for a moment before continuing."You pervert?"
A vein appeared on the left side of his face when she called him a pervert."Well of course I can't drick your blood." Turning around, he didn't notice the pained look that appeared on young beauty's face."If there's nothing else, go back to your room.
Orihime would have left, but she was the pig-tailed women smiline at her."No.. I don't want to go!" the beauty exclaimed moving her hand to touch the scowling before she could grabb it he slapped her hand a way.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" he yelled. Regretting what he did he turned around a nd saw tears on her face.
Orihime
Eyes wideing the tears on her face started to fall.
I'm monstrous.
She ran away and left him standing there. He continued to stared after her, turning around he started to walk back into his room. Once inside he lifted a hand to his eye.
Realizing she wasn't needed any more, she walked out the room.
You who smiles " Like a Princess."
But is as beautiful as a Rose.
If you touch me,
Fleeting,
Fragile,
Wouldn't you,
Crumble like a flower?
If I lose you...
It's frightengly unbearable.
"Hey there, Orihime-chan." Keigo chirped. A smile gracing his face, hand raised to his forehead while the other was holding his navy blue sweater, that was hanging over his shoulder."I came to-day..." he saw Orihime on the couch with her knees raised up to her chest and a sad look on her beautiful face.
She was wearing her favorite dress today. The color was a light blue, it would sometimes sparkle , but only if the sun were shining on it, it had poofs on the shoulders. The dress reached just below her knees. Her hair was grabbed into a ponytail, though that made her look more cutier. He plooped next to the depressed girl and asked,"Hm~~~ What could it be?" placing his arm behind her head, he scooted closer but she moved to the other end of the couch.
"Eh..What is this oprressive distance."
Orihime turned her head." Ici said not to get close to you."
"Your eys are red." Keifo said when he looked at her." Couldn't sleep?" he asked, again with that stupid smile appearing on his face. See the sad look on her face, he guessed he was close to being right."Say Orihime-chan. Wanna go check out the town?"
"
