Prologue
Orihime's POV
I thought he dissapeared that day. I watched him turn to dust. I didn't realize that I'd miss him this much. He was my kidnapper, and he's supposed to be dead, so... why is he here, standing in front of my school? This isn't good, It's been a full year, I'd forgotten all about him. What am I going to do?
Chapter I: He's Back?
Normal POV
Orihime stands in chock as she sees the supposed dead Espada standing outside her school's court yard. She felt worried, Ichigo was sure to see him there and start a fight and she knew a fight between them could destroy the sity. She walks back toward the school building and bumped into the orange headed Soul Reaper.
Ichigo looked down at the brunett girl confused, "Are you alright Inoue?"
"Yeah! I-I'm fine!" She smiled, "I just forgot my books in the classroom. Come help me find them." Without waiting for a response, she grabs Ichigo's hand and runs back into the school.
"Inoue!?" Ichigo yells.
She managed to get him halfway down the main hallway until he pulled out of his grasp. She turns to look at him.
"Inoue, what's going on? You look like you've seen a ghost." He asks worriedly.
"N-Nothing! I just... don't feel very well..." Ichigo hears the lie in her voice.
"I'm going home Inoue. I'll text Arisawa for you." He turns away from her.
"Kurosaki-Kun!" He turns back to her, "Please, don't do anything dangerous. You're... you're loosing your power. Just stay safe..."
Ichigo looked confused at her statement, but he knew she was right
She'd only say something like that if there was something or someone dangerous were near...
All at once the energy hits him, he starts shaking. Orihime sees his reaction to the sudden burst of energy. "K-Kurosaki-kun..?"
"N-No way... He's alive..? I thought, I thought he died..."
"Kurosaki-kun, I know you're upset, but try to calm down! he hasn't hurt anyone yet, and he's not half as strong as he was at his weakest!"
" That doesn't matter!" He looks at the overly nice girl standing next to him.
"Then what does..?" Ishida Uryu had snuck up on the two of them.
"Ishida-san?" Orihime looks at the new conversationalist
"Well Kurosaki?"
"He could hurt Orihime again!" Orihime takes a step back at his sudden statment.
"Inoue-san, go home, and be careful, I'll take care of Kurosaki." She looked at the two worriedly but complied. She ran out into the courtyard and past the Espada, hopping she blended in with the rest of the students. Her hopes were crushed when someone's hand grabbed her wrist. She gasps and turns around to look at who grabbed her. Her friend Tatsuki looked at her worriedly.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine! You just surprised me that's all!" She said with a smile. " Do you want to come over today Tatsuki?"
"I would but I have to train for the next tournement that's coming up."
"Oh, of course... I'll see you tomorrow then bye-bye!" Orihime says cheerfully and starts on her way home.
On her way home she keeps looking behind her back. She felt like someone was following her. Orihime stopped behind a small wall to see if her suspicions were right. She didn't see anyone until a few minutes later when Ulquiorra came around the corner.
