Okayy this my first IchiHIme fanfiction so don't criticize too much plz! Well otherwise than that I hope you guys enjoy the story.
Orihime ran as fast as her legs could take her trying hard not to knock into anybody during the process.
"I'm late again! I'm sorry Hachi-san, but please cover for me again." She thought to herself.
It was rush hour in Tokyo and once again Orihime Inoue was late for her job. It was pretty difficult to run as fast as she could while not bumping into anyone. Even so she tried not to do so. The thing she was trying to avoid most happened. She bumped into a man holding coffee and the coffee spilled on the both of them.
"I'm so sorry!" she said with a bow.
"Gosh woman don't you watch where you're going?!" the man yelled back at her. People like him irritated her. They had no thought about how other people felt and it annoyed her.
"Obviously if you were looking yourself, you would have seen me coming like the rest of the people did." She retorted back then looked up at the man who was being mean. He had spikey orange hair and brown eyes. He was pretty tall, compared to her height, and surprisingly attractive.
"Wait. What did you just say?" he said surprised. Usually when people bump into him, they apologize then run off with their tails between their legs. How was this little girl not afraid of him? It irritated him.
"You heard me Mr." she said with a hand on her hip.
A vein twitched on his head. "Listen here little girl. When you bump into someone, you apologize. You don't give the person a hard time." He said irritated.
"Well, you see. I am not a little girl and while I could running down that path to work," ,she pointed to the direction she was running toward, "I am here talking to a man who thinks the world revolves around him." She said with a smile.
His eyebrow was now twitching. "Woman do you know who you're talking to?" he said angrily now.
"Actually no I don't. And I don't wanna find out either." She said crossing her arms underneath her chest. She finally realized that she lost track of time. "Crap! I am still late!" she yelled looking at her watch then started to run toward her job.
The man looked in her direction madly. "Great now I have to get my suit dry cleaned." Someone bumped into him again. "Watch where you're going!" the man yelled at the man who bumped into him. The other guy froze in his steps. "I'm so sorry! Please don't hurt me!" the man yelled terrified. That's what the strawberry wanted to hear. He turned toward Orihime's direction again then sighed.
"Why are you late again Inoue!" her boss yelled. "You're supposed to be taking pictures for me, not lollygagging around Tokyo!" he yelled.
"Sorry Byakuya-sama. It won't happen again." She said bowing.
"You're damn right it won't happen again because if it does, you're fired!" he yelled. "No out of my office." He said pointing at the door.
"Yes Byakuya-sama. I won't let you down." She said as she walked out the room. He then swiftly slammed the door.
Orihime leaned on the closest wall she could find then took in deep breaths. She was surprised that he didn't fire her that day. She was close though so that meant that she had to be more than on time. She let out a sigh.
"Byakyua-san yelled at you again?" a little raven haired lady asked as she walked in front of her.
Orihime flinched not knowing that the woman has been watching her for the past minute or so. "Y-yeah. I was late again. This time it wasn't my fault!" she pouted.
"Come into my office and we'll talk about it okay?" the woman said with a smile.
"Okay Tatsuki" She said with a smile. They walked down to her office while Tatsuki talked about how mean the boss can be and to not take it personally.
"So what exactly happened? You are way later than you usually are and that says something." Rukia said as she put her feet up on her desk.
"Well, I was rushing to work then , he was in my way, then he said 'don't you watch where you're going' then I was like 'obviously if you were looking yourself' , and he was like 'what was that woman' and I was like 'you heard me Mr.' and he was like-"
"Wait. Slow down. Can you break it down a little slower?" Tatsuki asked while chuckling.
Orihime told her about the orange haired man and how he was being rude and how she handled herself pretty well. "Yeah and that's why I'm late." She said with a smile.
"This guy sounds like someone I know." Tatsuki said with her fingers on her chin. Then she slammed her fist into the palm of her hand. "I know. It was Kurosaki Ichigo." She said irritated at the thought of his name.
"Kurosaki… Ichigo?" Orihime said thinking back to the orange haired man. She smiled at the name. "He is so mean but his name says strawberry." Orihime started to laugh at the thought of his head as a strawberry. "His new name is Strawberry-san." This time Tatuski started to laugh with her when suddenly her door slammed open.
"Arisawa-san. Byakuya-sama is throwing another fit." Her assistant said panting.
Tatsuki sighed then looked at her assistant. "I'll be up there in a minute." She looked back at Orihime. "Guess it's time for us to get to work." Tatsuki smiled.
"Yeah. I guess I should go get some good shots or boss man will get mad." Orihime smiled then stood up from her chair and grabbed her bag then started to make her way out of the room. "See you later Tatsuki." She said with a smile. Tatsuki waved bye and Orihime was on her way to find something interesting to take a picture. It was about 7 already and she decide to take the long way home. It was getting dark and colder.
"Maybe I should go back." Orihime said sinking back into her sweater. She started walking faster then stopped to take a picture of some graffiti art on a building. She took in another deep breath. Then she heard yelling in an ally.
"I told you I'll get your money Aizen!" a man yelled. Orihime went closer to the seen without being noticed.
"Well that was almost three months ago Kira!" the man named Aizen yelled. Orihime was taking pictures at the scene. "Now, now Aizen lets not play with our food." An eerie man said with a sly smile. His smile made her shiver in her spot. The man named Aizen pulled out a revolver and pointed it at the man named Kira. It made her jump.
"You're right Gin I guess I'll just send him to where he belongs." Aizen said then pulled the trigger.
Orihime was terrified but took the picture anyway for evidence. Her mind was telling her only one thing; RUN! She started to back up until she knocked over some trash cans. The two men saw her then started after her. Orihime started to run. She didn't want to die yet. She still had a long life ahead of her. She still wanted to get married and have kids with the man she truly loved. Right know that was the last thing on her mind. She had to get away from the two men who killed the man named Kira.
"Hey girly get back here!" Gin yelled after her. She didn't look back. She made her way out of the ally and started to run toward where her job was. She turned around to see if she made any distance between them but saw nobody. She turned all the way around to make sure she was sure of what she saw. She saw someone move within the shadows then she turned back around to find the one name Gin behind her. He took her by her arm.
"I have a feeling you're gonna cause us some trouble." He said tugging her back toward the ally.
"Get off of me! I didn't see anything!" she yelled trying to loosen his grip.
"I never accused you of seeing anything." He said still smiling.
"I see you caught her." Aizen said smiling. He was the guy she was most afraid of.
"Hey boss, maybe we could have some fun with her before we kill her." Gin said still smiling. Orihime started yelling for help. When she tried to call a second time, he clapped his free hand on her mouth.
"Gin, aren't you the one who said not to play with your food." He said while walking toward them. Orihime's eyes widened as he walked toward her. She turned her face away from him but Gin made her look towards him.
"Maybe you're right. We could have fun with this one." Aizen said while licking his lips. Her eyes went wide then she bit Gin's hand.
"That little bitch!" Gin yelled while shacking his hand from the pain.
Don't just stand there Gin! Get her!" Aizen yelled. Orihime ran faster than before knowing what they were gonna do to her. The thought made her shiver. She finally saw someone. After all of her struggles she finally saw someone who can help her.
"Help! Help me!" she yelled then looked back to see that nobody was running after her again. She was stopped by the man in front of her.
"What's the matter!? What happened?" the man asked her. She looked into his eyes and she knew she was safe. She started to break down. He patted her head wondering what happened to her to make her so scared.
"I'm sorry." She said while whipping her tears from her face.
"It's alright. What happened?" he asked her. She looked around not sure if she should tell him in the area she was attacked in. "It's okay. You can tell me later. Where do you live?" he asked.
"Down the other way." She said pointing the direction she just came from. Its seemed as though she didn't even want to go that way.
"You could come to my place miss… um, what is your name?" he asked her trying to recall if she even told him her name.
"It's Inoue Orihime." She said with a weak smile. He smiled back at her.
"Well, Orihime-chan. Let's go to my house. By the way, my name is Kurosaki Isshin." He said with another big smile.
"Kuro-saki?" she said blinking. "Where have I heard that name before?" she thought to herself. He then started to push her toward where she lived.
"Yes. My daughter is going to be so happy we are gonna have a guest for dinner." He said still smiling wide. She only smiled at his enthusiasm about his daughter. They finally made their way to his house and he smiled a big smile. "Welcome to the Kurosaki household!" he smiled as he opened the door.
"Yuzu, Karin! We have a guest here!" he yelled as he stepped into the house. The two girls came down stairs to see what their father wanted.
"What do you want! Your yelling is hurting my ears!" Karin yelled back. Orihime smiled at the two girls. They both stopped and starred at her with awe.
"Dad who is she?" Yuzu asked. He smiled at her question.
"She's a friend of mine. Her name is Orihime-chan. She'll be staying with us for the night." He said as he put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her into the house.
"Ehh?" Orihime didn't even know she would be staying the night at his house.
"I should make some dinner. You want to help me Orihime-chan?" Yuzu asked happily.
"Sure! I would love to help!" Orihime smiled and made her way to the kitchen.
"So how are you and my dad friends?" she asked curiously. Orihime stiffened up and thought of an answer.
"Well, he saved my life." She said bluntly but then smiled at her.
"Oh. Well if you're a friend of dad then you're a friend of mine too!" she smiled. Orihime smiled back at her then continued to cook.
"So dad… is she… a prostitute?" Karin asked in disgust. He started to laugh at his daughter's accusation.
"Why would you think your dad would even bring someone like that into the house?" he said sadly then started to fake cry to the picture of his wife. "Why Misaki, Why?! Why would my daughter even think of me in that way!?" he said crying. She only rolled her eyes. The door then opened slowly. Ichigo went upstairs to change into some house cloths. He then noticed that the house was quiet. He quickly got dressed and went down stairs.
"Ichi-nii. Dad brought in a girl from the street." She said as she watched t.v.
"What! Why would you even bring someone like that in here! " he asked then hit his dad on the head. "Where is she?!" he yelled. Karin pointed toward the kitchen. "I'm gonna tell her to go." Ichigo said as he made his way toward the door. Isshin finally got up.
"You can't do that. I invited her to stay for the night." He said happily. Ichigo slapped his hand on his forehead.
"You don't even know her and you invited her here to stay? She could be a killer for all we know." He whispered to his dad.
"Okay you may be right on the first part, but she is not a killer. I just helped her out with a problem and asked her to stay so I can get details from her." Isshin said putting his hand on his shoulder. " I also let her come here because she may be your future wife." He said with a goofy smile. Ichigo punched him again then entered the kitchen. He came in and saw the same girl who bumped into him earlier today. "It's you!" Ichigo yelled while he pointed toward her. Orihime turned then dropped the piece of fruit in her mouth.
"This is Strawberry-san's house?!" she yelled pointing back at him. Then she remembered something; Kurosaki Ichigo.
"Wait. What!" he yelled irritated. Yuzu smacked him in the head with a bread stick.
"What did I say about coming into the kitchen before dinner was ready!" she yelled then hit him with the bread stick again and again till he stepped out of the kitchen door.
"Alright. Alright, I'm out! Sheesh!" he yelled then glared at Karin who was snickering to herself.
"Why didn't you tell me it was her?" he asked his dad then glared at the kitchen door.
"I didn't even know you knew her." Isshin said sitting down at the couch.
"She's the girl who ruined my day today. She knocked my coffee on my suit then insulted me!" he yelled at his father. He just shrugged it off.
"Well, she was in danger so I helped her. She knows something that I believe is big. She might still be in danger for all I know." He said.
"So you brought the danger upon us too, you know that right?" Ichigo's brow twitched at his father's mistake.
"What did you want me to do, let whoever was chasing her kill her? That's something you would do but I can't just a pretty girl roam the street by herself." He said chuckling to himself.
"I wouldn't do that!" Ichigo yelled at his father. At that, Yuzu came in and announced that dinner was ready. All three of them made their way into the kitchen. Yuzu and Karin sat on one side and Isshin sat on the edge leaving two seats for Ichigo and Orihime to sit together. They both glared at each other before they sat down. It confused Yuzu.
"So you know my brother too?" she asked as she passed around the bread sticks.
"Yeah. I actually met him today." She said after she thanked kami for the food. Ichigo gave her another glare before he ate his own food.
"So why don't you guys like each other?" Karin asked as she slurped her spaghetti. Orihime nodded than responded.
"I accidently bumped into him and he flipped out on me." She said bluntly. Ichigo gave her another glare then started to protest.
"She spilled my coffee on my new suit." He said then ate his breadstick.
"I also apologized and you were still flipping out." She gave him a glare then drank her water.
"So you guys love each other." Isshin chimed in. Orihime's eyes widened as she spit her drink out at Ichigo. The whole table laughed. Ichigo stood up.
"What the hell woman!?" he yelled as she went to get him a towel.
I'm so sorry!" she yelled as she wiped his face and his shirt then down, there. He blushed. She finally noticed what she was doing then blushed immediately "I'm sorry!" she said then bowed down so he couldn't see her flushed face.
"Guys don't laugh at them!" Yuzu protested while whipping the laughing tears from her eyes.
"It's okay." He finally said to her as she was still bowing. She finally looked up at him then smiled.
"I'm Inoue Orihime! She said as she stuck her hand out for him to shake it.
"Kurosaki Ichigo." He said as shook her hand.
"I want her and I want her now." Aizen said tapping his finger on his chair.
"Don't worry boss. You always get what you want so how will this be any different?" Gin said with his sly smile.
"You're right. She'll come back to me eventually." He said with an evil smile.
