Chapter 1

Beginning

"I hate you! You're the worst nii-san in the whole universe! I wish I had an onii-chan!" Inoue ran out of the house and slammed the door on her nii-san's face.

"Oh it was just a dream" Orihime Inoue gasped, waking up from her nightmare. She rubbed her eyes sleepily, wondering what the time was... "What time is it?" She checked her clock and screamed. "ARGHH! ITS 8.30.I'll be late for school!!!"

She got out of bed, got dressed and then brushed her teeth. She left home without eating anything and ran to school.

Halfway to school she realised that the sky was the same colour as her hair, orange. With wide eyes Inoue said "The suns not fully set which means... SCHOOLS NOT OPEN YET!" She smacked her forehead with her palm "I have so got to get that stupid clock fixed!"

Already halfway to school she said "Anyways since I've nearly reached school, I might as well buy some breakfast." She went to the closest convenience shop and brought some melon bread.

She went to the Karakura Park, which is close to her school, and found a bench to sit and eat her melon bread.

She finished eating her bread, that's when she saw a trashcan with the head of a stuffed toy lion peeking out. Inoue was really fond of stuffed toys so she took this lion out of the trash can and held it in the sky. "Kawaii! You are now called...erm...hmm..." after a while of thinking she came up with a name. "KON! Yes perfect! You are now called Kon-sama!" She said with a cheerful voice.

It was nearly time for school, so she crossed the road and skipped happily to Tatsuki-her best friend- and showed off her new lion, Kon. "Look Tatsuki-chan, this is Kon-sama. I found him in the park in a trashcan! Isn't he very...Very...Very...-. "Cut off by Tatsuki "OK! We get it! Hes very cute. You say you found him in a trashcan? Better clean him off then, don't know where he's been" Inoue said "Oh yeah...Well he is a bit smelly, but we can take care of that!"

Just then Ichigo Kurosaki and his gang, walked past Inoue and Tatsuki. Ichigo was Inoue's first crush since 3rd Grade. They were in nearly all the same classes, but Ichigo still never noticed Inoue.

Inoue was slumped on the lockers sighing. "sigh..." looking at the ceiling. "Oh, you still have the hots for Kurosaki eh."

Inoue wasn't really paying attention but when she heard the last part she jumped. Blushing like a tomato.
"Eh, Me...liking Ichigo-san! No way Tatsuki-san! I don't like him. Its just that he's my lab partner and we need to-."

Tatsuki cut Inoue off again "Yeah..Whatever, but if you don't ask him to the dance soon then he will have another girl will take him!"

Inoue whined saying "Tatsuki-san, stop talking about the dance." "wow...I'm just saying."

Just then the bell rang and everyone ran to go to their classes. It was Lab for Inoue and for Tatsuki it was History.

Inoue walked into the classroom and glanced over at Ichigo's seat. Hmm...Hes not here yet. Inoue thought.

Just then someone from behind bumped into her and she fell to the floor along with her books. She turned her head up and met gazes with the boy whom she had a crush on since 3rd grade, Kurosaki Ichigo.

Inoue blushed instantly and started picking up her books. She covered her face with her bangs. Ichigo helped her pick up her books and said with a cool and calm smile.

"Sorry. Are you hurt by any chance..?" Inoue replied quietly "No. I'm fine. I'm sorry for standing in the way-" "no its fine. Erm...anyways Hi! I'm Kurosaki Ichigo." "

H..Hii. I..I'm Orihime...I..I..Inoue." "Cool." He picked up the rest of her books for her and helped her up. Hes helping me up. Wow...I'm touching him... Once they were up, she bowed and thanked him.

They both made their ways to their desks. Ichigo's thoughts: Wow, Cute girl. I think I might talk to her sometimes..

In class, Ichigo stole quick glances at Inoue. She was trying to concentrate on her work. But she just...couldn't. She kept thinking about Ichigo and him smiling at her.

She look at Ichigo for a sec, and they both saw each other, looking at each other. Inoue blushed slightly, but gave Ichigo a warm-hearted smile.

Oh; she's soo cute....Ichigo's thoughts. Inoue thought, OMG! He was looking at me...of all people me. Why me? Ichigo smiled back at Inoue. They both looked back at their books and concentrated on their work.

The bell finally rang and that meant period 1 was over. Inoue's next class was French, she was Tatsuki's partner. She told Tatsuki what happened in Science and Tatsuki was just sitting there taking it all in!

When Inoue was finished, Tatsuki burst out laughing and then the whole class turned to look at them. "Erm...Sorry sensei carry on. I was just being silly." Tatsuki said with a smile. "See. Told you, you fancied him." Tatsuki whispered.
