I will get stronger.
That's what she told herself.
I will move on.
She chanted it like a mantra.
I will forget you.
She studied hard and made sure that wouldn't fall behind so that no one noticed. They never noticed so she didn't have to try hard. All she had to do was show up, pretend to be normal, and fake being happy. No one never knew what she was really feeling and how she was slowly being eaten by the emptiness inside her, She had an abnormal ability and monstrous spiritual power that was hidden way deep when her, being suppressed by the uselessness she felt constantly.
After school she would go home and pretend to be busy until five then go and do some intense training with the only people she knew that would help her without asking to many questions about why she wants to do this. The Vizards helped her so far and id she'd ask they could help her some more. After the cold war between the soul society and Azien, she had been abandon and cast to the side like a rag doll once again. Orihime had enough of everyone leaving her behind so that they can get stronger and protect her. She didn't need protection she didn't want their protection unless she needed the help fighting.
They always that she was just a bubbly, happy-go-lucky innocent girl that never faced real struggle, death and lose. When times got hard they would push her to the side or tell her get out of the way and go home there's nothing you can do. But the worst would be that it made her feel like a burden and made her feel extremely useless. She wanted to prove them wrong and show that she can be of some use aiding in their battles on the front lines.
So Orihime made a request that they teach her and train her to hone and enhance her abilities. After training with them Orihime would go to Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihōin on Kidō, Hohō, Cero, Hakuda, Sonído, Senjū Kōten Taihō, Rikujōkōrō and many others that she had picked up from them. At the moment she was stronger than any high-ranking soul reapers with the exception of a few captains. When her business was done she would go home and relax her body thinking and sorting out all the stuff she made plans for the next day.
Time skip ( to lazy to write at the moment)
Morning came and it was time for Orihime to get up for another day of pretending and going to school. Grabbing her uniform she headed for the shower only taking ten minute's and changing clothes. Overs the months and almost a year she still had her unnatural auburn hair that went past her waist to the middle of her thighs, bangs longer and parted to both sides of her face. Instead of having her hairpins in her hair she asked if they could be changed into earrings since she didn't have to touch them to activate them every time they were in a fight against something. Big beautiful ash-gray eyes were still the same but had more determination and wisdom behind the, plus a hidden emotion that no one knew. All the baby fat was gone from her face and body leaving a more mature look to her.
But despite everything she still had her abnormal large chest that any women would kill for, and it seen that it grown some over the months. Once ready Orihime locked and began walking towards her school lost in her own thought not noticing that someone was calling out to her.
"Inoue!" something's calling me.
"Inoue!" no…not something. Someone's calling me..
"INOUE!" she quickly turned around to see who was her but out of reflex, she grabbed the person's arm and twisted behind their back that she had been taught from her karate lessons with Tatsuki-chan.
"Ugh Inoue what the hell are you doing?!" said capture.
Giving a moment to take in everything that just transpired and realizing who it was she quickly let go of his arm and gave a confusing look.
"Kurosaki-kun what are you doing?"
She had hated adding 'kun' to his last name when she finally got over her crush and loved that only weighed her down then and crippled her as well.
"What do you mean 'what am I doing '? I've been calling out to you for the past fifteen minutes. You almost ran into a pole." He gave a solemn look.
She hated that look, it almost looked like he pitted her and she detested that. But she had to keep her mask up and tight so that no one would see her true colors or let her emotions accidentally slip out without her know.
"Oh I'm sorry I'm soo sorry Kurosaki-kun i-I didn't mean to do that, but why were you calling me?"
"Oh yea I was just coming to say good morning and how was it going"
"I'm doing fine Kurosaki-kun just thinking about the little blue aliens and red bean paste."
They continued walking to the school and class. The day went by as normal; everyone was going about their normal day. After classes was over Orihime would noticed that during the day Kurosaki, Kuchiki, Ishida, and Sado even Tatsuki-chan occasionally glanced at here from time to time. It was unnerving but Orihime got over it and ignored their glances. On her way home she my her way to the front door and unlocked it. She was happily greeted by two soul reapers that she actually wanted to avoid. There stood in the middle of the living room was Byakuya Kuchiki and Tōshirō Hitsugaya. They came very unexpected, it had caught her off guard but over time she learned to guard her reactions to things and built a personality of steel that was hard to crack and break even for her sometimes.
The silence was deafening between the three of them standing and observing each other. The months had done some good for the both seeing how Kuchiki and Hisugaya both looked different from the last time she saw them. ( don't feel like going into detail about how they look at the moment.) cautiously she decide to break the ice.
"Hello you two, what are you guys doing in here?" giving a small smile.
Neither of them spoke, so she continued.
"Would you two like some tea or-"
"We came on orders to watch you, cause we have suspicion that some unwanted activity has gone gone involving you miss Inoue."
Stunned she was but emotional and worried she wasn't.
Unnaturally she kept a calm smile that was colder the Kuchiki's glare or cold demeanor.
"Oh well…that's great to know. How long will you two be staying here?"
"Two weeks."
"I see…ok then if you would excuse me for a moment there's something in my room that I forgot to get." And with that she briskly walked to her room and gently closed the door. Letting out a sigh she masked he reiatsu then grabbed some things before jumping out the window and running to Urahara's shop to hide for the mean time.
And scene..
Man I'm tired and done for the day.
