Disclaimer- ichihime would happen if I had the pleasure of owning Bleach!
Before I went to high school I wanted to do what I've always dreamed of doing. Confess my feeling for Kurosaki-kun. I had hoped he would return them with love. But those dreams were shattered one minute before I even let them out.
If I'm lucky he still doesn't know I love him.
1. Broken
One week earlier. . .
My mind has been empty since the start of the opening ceremony. I can't under stand why though. Was it from the excitement of me finally starting high school or was it from being in the same class of Kurosaki-kun? I couldn't tell anymore, so maybe it was both.
"Orihime," Tastuki said and nudged me with her elbow. She sat right beside me, her face showed a deep frown. I made her worry again. "Is something wrong?"
I smiled at her. She was too protective, just like Kurosaki-kun. "I'm fine Tatsuki, just a little nervous is all."
"If you say so," she let out. I looked back at the teachers making their speeches. My mind felt empty again, if that is even possible.
As soon as the ceremony was over, me and Tatsuki headed for our assigned class. The teacher was already at her desk ready to teach at any time. My seat was near the window, it looked out to the court yard and sky. It would let me see the rain, so I loved this seat.
Tasuki sat a few desks away. She walked over to me and we talked for a few minutes. She asked the "it" question that was on my mind too.
"Are you going to do it Orihime," she asked me. I paused.
"Do what Tatsuki?" She wouldn't ask the question I thought she would, would she?
"Are you going to tell Ichigo…" she didn't continue, I new how it would end anyway.
"Yes, I am going to tell him," I told her. "Today, I'm going to tell him today after school."
"Hime…" Tatsuki said and put her hand on my shoulder. Her eyes reflected sadness, I didn't need that. I needed support. "Don't push your self to do it is all I'm asking you." She looked away as she said the last statement.
She saw what I saw, she new what I new. Of course she could see my feeling's about Kurosaki-kun and the way my heart would burst into flames with jealousy when he was with Rukia. He could burn me with emotional scars when he was with her. That's why I hate the feeling of jealousy.
Did he love her, did he love me? I didn't know, so it hurt.
It made me feel broken.
The bells ringing shot me out of my usual ditzy ness, was school already over? I grabbed my bag ready to go to the doors out of this place.
I walked out of the class room and saw Kurosaki-kun going to the roof. Was now the time to ask him? Would I even like his answer? I followed, it was now or never.
He looked off to the ground floor seeing the students scramble to leave. I was about to walk out and greet him, but the door slammed open.
"Kurosaki…" I hid behind the roofs shed.
"Tatsuki," Kurosaki-kun said. He gazed at her and back to the sky. His eyes looked longing for something. "What did you want to talk about?"
"Tell me Ichigo," Tatsuki said with her fist curling up in anger. "Do you love some one or do you not."
He didn't answer for about five minutes. It was complete silence, I was about to just walk out and tell them I was there, but I wanted to hear his answer. I wanted to know that he loved me and not Rukia. Only me, for five life times worth.
"Just answer me! I know you have feeling's for her," Tatsuki screamed.
Ichigo sighed. "I already told you that I…" he hesitated to answer. "I can't find a way to love Inoue, s-she can't even protect herself…" he trialed off still looking away, a glint of regret in his chocolate brown orbs.
My heart shattered even more if it had not already. The growing crack in my heart broke and my world was crushed in the palm of his hand. He made the rain that connected my heart to his stop.
"Don't you dare-" Tatsuki screamed at him but was cut off because I shot out of my spot tripping just to get out of it. They both saw me scramble to get up and they looked down at me, a hint of shock on both of their faces.
I also saw pity in both of their eyes.
I hate pity.
Ichigo looked afraid, probably wondering if I had heard his little "talk" of his undying hate for me. He thought I was weak, a small helpless child who needed his protection.
Well he was wrong.
"Inoue…" Kurosaki-kun whispered.
I shot up from the ground trying to hold back the tears that fought so hard to be let out. I wouldn't let him see that I could be weak; I wanted to prove to him I was strong.
So I guess when he answered Tatsuki's question that meant he loves Rukia, not me. The lonely girl.
Of course, isn't that the way the world runs? I can be so stupid
"Kurosaki-kun," I said smiling back to him. "I was looking for something that I had forgotten when we were eating lunch up here earlier, but it must not be here." My lie was quick and so very much not true.
"Hime…" Tatsuke said looking at me.
"If you guys were talking about something important then I should go," I told them heading for the door. My eyes hit Tatsuki and her look said "liar" all over it. "Bye, see you guys tomorrow." I called to her and Kurosaki-kun. My tears started to fall as I ran down the steps. My heart was racing and I could barely see my way with the tears causing my vision to blur.
I was huffing for air as I made it to the school exit. The sky was gray and dark; it smelled of the rain soon to come. The school gates were open so student could still leave for home, but it wasn't like there was any one I could go home to. It would just be me, alone in that big empty apartment. Just like any other day.
But today I would cry to sleep knowing Ichigo loved another girl, hope wouldn't be there because I now new for a fact he had some one other in mind. She is one of my best friends too.
It hurts, and I know that this time I can't stop the pain.
I glanced back one time and saw an orange figure looking down to me. My feet slipped in a puddle and I lost my footing. The ground was damp and murky as I slammed into it. I felt a pang of pain in my head. My vision was more blurry then before. I heard a honking in the distance.
"Hime-chan!" A light was coming closer to me. I looked back to the orange figure on the roof. He was clinging to the gates.
But the man that was getting closer's hair was white.
"Inoue! INOUE!" He screamed for me. It was Kurosaki-kun, he's worried like always.
The white haired man blocked my view for a few seconds and then moved. The orange blob was no longer on the roof.
I closed my eyes and fell into slumber. Maybe when I woke up he wouldn't have to worry any more.
The rain
I met Kurosaki-kun and Tatsuki in it. When I was taken into the Kurosaki Clinic and saw them looking after me, I new then that rain can cause a connection to the heart.
But then again, a friend I use to know didn't know what the word "heart' meant. I couldn't explain it to him because I myself don't even know what it means. My brother told me things about the heart, so did the others of the Yakuza members that were my family. It was a topic I just couldn't understand from them. Then there was the day I was left alone. The day Sora died they left me in front of the Clinic to die.
Then Misaki-san found me outside in the rain.
I never told any body about the life I had before they found me half dead.
But there is one person who knows, and that's Shiro-kun.
I lazily let my eyes open. My gaze met the ceiling of my apartment. I was in my room, in my purple bed with the window close by showing the light showers outside. I lightly touched the cool window. Drops of water dripped down with the pressure of more droplets coming down. I closed my eyes and turned my head. A figure was sitting in my chair for the desk.
You would have thought that just by looking at him that he was Kurosaki-kun, but the white hair, albino skin and the golden eyes told you otherwise.
"Shiro-kun…" I whispered. He looked down to me and smiled lightly, his golden eyes glowed.
"Don't talk Hime-chan," he said letting the smile turn to a smirk. "You almost got ran over by a car so I wouldn't talk too much."
I almost got ran over? No, this isn't the time for me to think about that. "When did you get back Shiro-kun?"
"Just today actually, and to my surprise you were almost ran over when I was about to go see you, Ichi-nii, that midget Rukia, Renji, and Tatsuki." He sighed and looked to the window. "I'm gone for six months and this is what I come home to, it kinda makes me not want to leave for another trip with Grimmjow and Ulquiorra."
My eyes sadden, he was with the Yakuza. "So you were gone with Las Noches the whole time."
"Ya," he answers. He doesn't catch my gaze. He knows I don't want this for him. I wouldn't want this life for any one. 'Cause if you join, then you have to be dead to get out. "Lucky you got out before we go at war with the Vizards again," he huffed out and crossed his arms.
I giggled. "That's because they think I'm dead," my voice squeaked out. My throat hurt a bit, so I brought my hand to it and rubbed it lightly. I coughed to clear it. I must have caught a small cold for being in the water filled road.
Shiro-kun looked at me, I smiled big for him. He smiled back, but then his gaze flickered and he looked away. "So, how has my family been," he asks. His golden orbs move to the ceiling and mine to his white form. His shirt is black with a gray skull, and his skinny jeans gray.
I keep my smile up. "They've been good. Yuzu-chan still scolds me about my eating habits, Karin-chan likes to play games of soccer with me and Tatsuki-chan, and your dad is still as silly as ever."
"More like crazy," he muttered.
"Shiro-kun!"
"What?" he exclaims innocently. I pout at him and just chuckles. "So…" he continues, "how has Ichi-nii been, you never said what he's been up to lately."
I feel a stab of pain in my heart when Kurosaki-kun's name is brought up. He can see the hurt in my eyes when he looks at me. Shiro-kun stands up and nocks down the chair he was sitting in. I touch my cheeks and feel wetness. I must have started to cry when he said Kurosaki-kun's name.
He frowns and sneers. "What'd he do to you?" Shiro-kun grabs for my shoulders and looks me in the eyes. I feel my lower lip start to tremble as he starts to get closer to my face. "What did that basturd do to you Hime?"
I feel the tears drip down like the rain on my window. I can't speak because of the lump in my throat, he gets closer to me. I can feel his breath on my cold skin, he puts his hands on my cheeks as he turns his head slightly and plants his warm lips on my cold ones.
I gasp and he lets his tongue enter.
I close my eyes and let the moment pass.
Maybe if I'm with Shiro-kun I can get over Kurosaki-kun.
But I highly doubt that, because Kurosali-kun will always be first in my heart. He's is my Ichi Utsukushii as my brother would say if he were still here with me.
My one beautiful person, no matter what happens in this life time, even if I'm broken.
Orihime's P.O.V. end
