Chapter 1. Chances
"Uhmm.. Doctor" Orihime cleared her throat. "Can I travel back to Karakura?"
The Doctor threw a surprised look on her. The hard features of his handsome face softened.
He shook his head.
"But.. I can assure you!" She pressed her cheerful voice "I-Ill be fine..."
She clasped her small hands together, her eyes hopeful. "And also, I only have six months to l-live... right? I-I want it to be full of memories" She paused and looked at the window "..with my friends."
The Doctor nodded, showing he understands her reason.
"Please, Tadashi-kun" She pleaded hopefully.
2 years ago...
After their graduation, Orihime's circle of friends were all busy preparing for college.
But for her, Her dreams. It burst suddenly into pieces. Pieces that will never be whole again. Again.
She found out about her serious condition when she accidentally fell on her apartments front stairs.
.
"Inoue-san beside from minor injuries that you get, We found something on you." The doctor stated, removing her on her own musings.
She raised her head up. Her eyes blinking in confusion.
"You have a cancer"
It didn't quiet registered on her mind, she raised her left brow in confusion.
"Gallbladder cancer"
Orihime's mouth hung open. 'What?'
The doctor nodded. He explained everything on her, on how she got the tumor, how long it had been there. And most of all, If she could survive it.
He offered her some treatments that will slow her condition to the worse, It can also prolong her life.
After of fully understanding her condition. She realized one thing.
For sure, She'll be gone soon...
Of course, She's still young. Only 18 years old. So she accepted it. The doctor was aware of her current status in life. So, he told her not to worry about the finances. There's a program in Tokyo that helps those Cancer patients that don't have enough money.
There's still hope...
"Don't be so down Inoue-san " The doctor half smiled at her. "Even you take those treatments, it will not wash your hair out like everybody used to see. It doesn't have any side effects"
She nodded.
"Im going to give you this form, It's all about the program in Tokyo. If you're ready, We can fix it as soon as possible."
At first, It was not easy to explain things to her friends. She did'nt want them to worry about her poor condition. So, even she's not a good actress, She lied at them.
She told them that she passed in one of the universities in Tokyo. She tried to keep her excited tone, but she can't help her self, she's stammering in front of them.
At the end, They all congratulated her. But in Tatsuki's case, The healer believed that the karate champ was not convinced.
'She can read me like an open book...'
She looked at Ichigo. He looked shock from what she had said. He didn't expected this, right?
"Kurosaki-kun..." She called him softly "Are you okay?"
He blinked and stared at her.
'She looked so small...' He thought 'Yeah, she's really small but it's different.'
He quickly faked a smile "Good luck..."
.
Leaving Karakura is really hard. It had been her home since she was just a kid. Her precious memories with her brother, Her happy and adventurous memories with her friends were in there. She turned around and waved at her friends.
Sad, But she needs to do this. Or else, shes not able to see them ever, again.
Tadashi shook his head once again.
"Geez... Don't use my name for your requests."
Orihime giggled. "Please..."
"Don't tell me that because Im you Doctor for almost 2 years, Ill approve your request."
She pouted.
He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. His black hair made him looked more manly.
"Alright..."
Her eyes widened. "R-really?"
He nodded.
"Start packing your things." He paused and looked at her thoughtfully.
"Orihime," He called her. She smiled at him.
"Yes Tadashi-kun?"
"Don't waste your time, okay?"
.
A/N: I hope you liked and enjoyed it! So, Ill explain who's this Tadashi okay? He was a young doctor that was assigned on Orihime. So, I guess you already have a clue what will be his role in this. *Evil smirk* He became Orihime's only companion while in hospital (in Tokyo) and maybe the other nurses who attended on her. Well in his case, Maybe he will have some special feelings for her, right? Ooh~ how about Ichi now? :)
By the way, this story was not an AU. I'll explain (maybe in chapter 2) why her Shun shun rikka can't help her.
Reviews please? And also, Im in search of a BETA :) Thank you :*
