"Talking"
She was already soaked to the bones.
"No… Please don't leave me. Please." She whispered.
There he was, standing, his back to her.
"No. I need to go. You're not strong enough to be my girlfriend." He said firmly.
"No… Please." She sobbed. "Don't leave me. I – I promise to become stronger. Please Ichi-kun, don't leave me. You've promised to stay with me as long as death separates us." She pleaded.
"Promises are meant to be broken Hime." He said tightly.
Orihime could not see his expression as his back was facing her. But she felt betrayed. Betrayed, of the certainty in his voice. Betrayed, because he broke his promise to her.
"I'm sorry. But I need to end this relationship. It's a burden to me." And after saying those bitter words, he went away. And that was the last time she saw him…
She woke up, startled. Tears began streaming down her cheeks. It has been a while since the last time she dreamed of what had happened that day. Last year, he broke with her. Told her that she was too weak. Left her shattered. Never came to visit or greet her on her birthday. That means only one thing: He had moved on. Without her. Maybe he had found a new girlfriend in Tokyo who is stronger than her. How she hated that thought! And therefore she did the same thing. She had moved on.
It was still early in the morning and she doesn't even know why she came here. Her first date with Ichigo was here, at the river side. Her most wonderful and worst memories were buried there.
Despite the fact that she detests this place; as it always bring back the memories of her and a certain orange head boy, sometimes, she really felt at peace. Sometimes when she would come here, she would even hope that Ichigo would be waiting for her and would hug or kiss her like the old times.
But that was the old Orihime.
Standing near the river bank, she was appreciating the cool refreshing air and the cute chirping of birds.
"Hime."
Shivers went up to her spine. No… this must be a kind of imagination.
"Hime."
Upon turning around, her breath halted.
"Ichi - Ichigo-kun, I – is that y-you?" She stammered.
Suddenly, his lips was pressed firmly against hers in a passionate kiss.
"Yes Hime. And I'm back only for you. Only for you…"
