To love from the beginning…
It was a manic time after Ichigo managed to get Inoue out of Hueco Mundo and Aizens clutches, she was a free woman again - another chance to carry on living her life to the full, with the smile on her face and with her friends by her side…
Ichigo and co finally reached the human world, Ichigo holding Inoue like a broken doll, looked around … everything looked the same, no destruction like what fake Karakura town looked like - Ichigo/Inoue/Rukia/Renji/Chad and Ishida made there way to Urahara shop - they were all in pretty bad shape, they took enough damage trying to get out of Hueco Mundo let alone trying to fight Aizen, all the other shinigami returned to Soul Society to be healed by Squad 4. Putting this amount of pressure on Inoue to heal the whole Soul Society casualties just wasn't something Ichigo was going to ask.
Inoue also took a beating from the assault of trying to get away form Aizen/Gin/Tousen, but she was more weak due to the amount of power she used to keep her shield up and protect her friends from the onslaught, amazingly due to Inoue will power - the shield did not break, but the pressure it put on Inoue was devastating, she now lays unconscious in the arms of her true love… Ichigo Kurosaki.
They all quickly ascend into Urahara's shop where Ichigo lays Inoue down on the nearest futon, the warmth disappears from his body as the small but curvy woman is removed from his chest, the saddened and desperate look on Ichigo's face doesn't go un-noticed by there other friends.
"Urhh.. Urhh" whimpers come from the fragile bungle on the futon
"INOUE… are you alright?. Can you hear me?… its me Kurosaki… please say something…!"
"Ermmm, Who? Sorry but I don't know a Kurosaki, where am I?" she gently starts to open her eyes -most things are blurred but she can make out a orange blob near to her face…
"Arrr, oh god my head hurts - why, why are you standing over me looking like that?
Still squinting she can start to make out features of this young but handsome man kneeling over her, but, he has tears in his eyes? Have I upset him?…
"…. please Inoue.. please remember me - don't say you cant remember what we have just been through!!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH" states Urahara looking concerned
"She is in need of rest, and you Kurosaki shouting isn't gonna help" he turns around to look at the rest of the beat-up friends, "Please go and get some rest and I will call you through when ive made some sense on this matter…"
"BUT!!"
"ICHIGO - please.. Do as Urahara says and come and rest, your no use to Inoue if your in this state" demanded Rukia
Although Inoue is now conscience he eyes are still finding it hard to stay open, Ichigo kneels down next to her and reassures her that everything will be alright - to trust him.
"--trust him…" she relayed over in her mind " I don't even know who you are or why I am here, but his voice… why does it make me tingle… every word he says - he means it…
Her thoughts suddenly change when a guy with a green hat and clogs come near her, kneeling down by her side with a fan in his hand.
"Erm… sorry to be rude, but.. Do I know you?" she asks calmly
"Arrr my dear lil Inoue-chan of course you know me! But im afraid it looks like you might of strained yourself to hard in Huceo Mundo!.. Do you remember anything at all?
"Well…. No. I mean, why am I dressed in this torn white gown - what the hell happened to me? Did I get jumped on by someone? Did that orange haired guy helped me… is that why I'm here?.. Tears now rolling down her cheeks.
"No Inoue-chan, nobody tried to jump you… it's a long story and I think you would benefit from sleep and rest before I go into detail - and before we try and get ure memories back!…" Urahara now standing up heading for the door-way leaving the confused woman behind.
"Please wait!! I need to know more - what happened! Oii… erm - clogs man! please… done leave!" she screamed…
Urahara shut the door on the way out "sleep tight Inoue, all will be explained later.."
