Disclaimer: This story is loosly based on the Taiwanese drama Autumn's Concerto. But the plot will be slightly difference since there's no fun if you know what's gonna happen next in the story.

Chapter 1.

The smooth and delightful melody rang in people's ears. They sat quietly enjoying the music being played the little girl as the auburn haired youth played with ease. It was the same fantasy life she has lived at. She's just like a princess from a fairy tale. How many people would crave for her life and how many people would be jealous of it.

Orihime was sitting on a chair in front of the grand piano looking at the stave. She felt blessed, like no one, nobody can ever have a life like hers. The same endless cycle of unexpectedly adventures waiting ahead for her and those excitable chapters waiting for her to explore. But here, right now nobody can own it, except herself only.

Nobody can deprive her life, nobody can steal it away, nobody can take it away. The hall was soon fulled with the audience applauded as everyone stood up. She was satisfied and her life made her feel special.

The concert has finally ended. The backstage door opened and she heard someone coming in. Orihime turned her head looking at a most familiar face she has seen everyday.

"Ona-cha." She said delightfully, running toward her.

"Let's go." Rangiku held her hand out.

"Mhm."

The auburn little girl held the blond woman's hand tightly.

"Ona-cha, didn't Onii-chan promised to listen me playing the piano today?"

"It's alright, Ona-cha has recorded." Rangkiu replied softly. "Later Onii-chan can listen to it on the car."

She nodded and suddenly spoke up. "Onii-chan!"

"I'm sorry. I've missed it, Orihime." Sora apologized and gave her into a bear hug.

She shook her head.

"It's alright."

"Happy birthday, my hime." Sora gave a soft smiled.

Orihime smiled winsome to her brother. She loves the man standing in front of her, there is no word that could be use for describing her love to him. He was the one who gave her a fairy life tale to live and he was the one who created one. He was all she had. He was her prince charming.

"Today, Orihime did a great job." Rangiku started. "Even the teacher complimented how talented Orihime is. She said that Orihime plays the piano better than all her other students." She exclaimed in proud.

"I see." Sora replied calmly.

"She was a star on the stage today."

"I know."

"Too bad, you didn't see it. Everyone was amazed by her."

"I could imagine that." Sora gave a light chuckle.

... ... ...

"So which one do you want?" She heard Rangiku asking her from behind.

Orihime pointed her finger at it. "I want the strawberry cake."

"Hmph." Was all Rangiku responded as she continued. "So you've chosen the most expensive one." She paused for a second."I guess its fine. I'll make the order now and get your brother to pay it. Alright?"

Orihime gave an understanding nod.

She turned her head away and her eyes were locked to her brother. Sora was at the other side parking lot, he was talking on the phone again, probably business as Orihime wondered. She started running towards him yet, a car from no where suddenly appeared and it was coming to Sora. What's worse is that he didn't notices it.

Next, Orihime didn't miss a thing. She saw the accident, the hit, the fall, the blood. His blood. For the first time in her life she started to fear.

She felt like she was going in slow motion when she saw Sora falling to the ground. People ran over to see and pushed her away causing Orihime falling down on the ground. In just a spilt of second, there was a lot of noise. People were talking, shouting and she even heard Rangiku's scream. Orihime was scare, she didn't know if Sora was still breathing. And as she finally reached him kneeling down besides a panicking Rangiku and his broken body.

At that moment, her life has changed. A new chapter has been fillped

Ten years after...

It was a bright sunny day. The market as usual has a strong fish like smell which is what Orihime was most familiar with nowadays. The auburn haired beauty was traveling through the market, helping the shop owner organizing the stocks, putting the sea foods into the crystal clear water sink before the customers arrived. She swept her sweats away from her forehead as she continued her work.

Orihime remembered how they've come this far. At first it was hard to adapt themselves to the new conditions, especially after Sora's death and his debts. Now she works for many part time jobs and on the other hand Rangiku works at a night club. Yet, sometimes she'll come home late or worse the day after.

Sitting on an empty sit on a public bus made Orihime felt slightly relaxed. She closed her eyes due to exhaustion. Orihime felt her consciousness slowly slipping away and sleep was overtaking her. But before she fallen asleep a loud car horn has disturbed her slumber. Suddenly of all, the bus driver pulled the break, she found herself leaning closely towards the front seat.

What was that? What's happening?

She left her seat quickly and walked out the bus.

"Get off."

Was the first thing she heard. It was a masculine voice however, it sounded unplease. Her eyes were first caught by the driver's hair colour. It was the same unique and strange colour yet, his was a slightly different to hers. He has a rather bright orange spiky hair. Orihime then noticed a black haired pigtailed woman sitting next to him, starting to take off her earrings, her necklaces and her watch. By throwing it hard on her lap as she looked back to the orange haired teen.

"These were given by other guys and now I don't want it anymore! What's wrong with you, are you jealous or what?" Loly yelled angrily.

"You thought I was jealous. So I told you to get off the car." He laughed.

Loly didn't know how to reply.

"Ridiculous. I was giving you a chance to leave the world's worst man of all and that's me, Kurosaki Ichigo."

"But Ichigo."

"Get off." He said seriously.

"You know that I like you, don't you? You can't do this to, Loly." She pleaded.

"If you like me, why aren't you listening to me?" Ichigo requested her.

Before Loly could retaliate with a brilliant answer to change Ichigo's mind, someone has interrupted her.

"Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but can you please pull the car to the other side?" Orihime asked.

"What?" Loly gave a questionable look.

"I mean you're causing a traffic jam behind."

"Like I give a shit to- "

"I'm fine about that." Ichigo cuts in. "This car belongs to her, its not mine." He saw the disbelieve look at Loly and walked away.

"Hey. Mr." Orihime started running after him.

She walked past the Porsche, the furious Loly and trying to catch up the young teen's step. She had to solve this problem before she gets late for her next job. Orhime then grabbed his wrist to stop his act however, she lets go off it immediately because at the very moment she grabbed him. He looked at her confusingly and it was the look that make her heart skipped a beat.

"I'm sorry. But can't you see how people are troubled by this." Orihime spoke with her eyes looking away.

She heard a groan. "What do you want?" He asked annoyed.

"Can you please move your car."

There was a long pause shared between them afterward.

"I will, but only if you drive it away." Ichigo finally said.

"What? But I can't drive." Orihime looked at him worryingly.

"Its very easy, I'll teach you."

Before Orihime realised what has been happening. She has already sat on the driver seat, listening carefully to the instructions she was given by the orange haired teenager. Although it was her first time to drive, it seem to be easily than she has thought of. But she can trust this guy can't she? Orihime gave an unsure look as Ichigo smiled to her. The last instruction was finally given, and before she could react . The Porsche has already crushed hard to the bus.

Orihime looked at the consequences in a defeated shock. On the other hand, Ichigo's mouth curved into a sly smile.

"Miss Inoue Orihime?"

"Yes."

The policeman looked at the her before questioning.

"You said that the gentleman sitting right over there." He used his pen pointing Ichigo, who seem to be out of the current situation sitting comfortably on the other side. "Gives you the instruction of backing the car and cause it to crush to the bus?"

"Yes." Orihime replied without any hesitation.

"But according to Mr. Kurosaki. He admitted that he told his girlfriend to do such an act."

Orihime and Loly instantly shared an astonished look before they turned to the same direction. They eyed Ichigo as he gave a light chuckle and stood up. He walked toward them and stopped right next to Orihime. He looked carefully at Orihime first then Loly when she smiled sweetly back to him. He shook his head lightly and stretched the back of his head.

"I don't know this girl..." Ichigo turned to the policeman.

Loly's eyes widen.

"Wh.. WHAT."

"You can tell her to leave now, can't you?"

"What the hell is that! Who do you think I AM!" Loly looked fiercely at him.

"Someone I don't know."

"Kurosaki Ichigo! How could you do that to me. No one can ever do such a thing to me."Loly grabbed her personal items and before she stormed out the police station. "I'll make you pay for what you've done to me!"

Orihime watched his not long known girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend left the place madly and frustrated. She let out a long and depressed sigh, before she turned to face the young teen. Who was the start of the cause, the one who caused it, the one who got her in trouble. She guess he must be feeling uneven right now, since there must be some love left for his ex-girlfriend. But she saw it all. From his eyes, there was no sadness, no pain, no regret. There was nothing shown at all as if he doesn't care.

"Ano, Mr. Kurosaki." Orihime started nervously. "You know clearly it was you who gave me the instructions and I really don't have the responsibility to pay the repayment of your car."

"You expect me to say all those shit to the insurance, as if they will pay all the repayment."

"Bu..but ... how much will it cost?" She asked.

"I don't know, maybe 1.8 million yen more or less."

"Ex..Excuse me?" She said, with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"It's alright, if you don't have the money. You can pay it by your body."

"Wha.. What."

"I mean look at you, apparently you can't afford it with money and what else ways..."

He saw it all. The flash of anger in her eyes, the determination, the hurt. He could've moved, pushed her aside, slapped her hand away. He did nothing. His head snapped to the side. He didn't flinch, didn't break his composure. A second after he finally realized what she's done and slowly turned his head back to her. She was panting in anger, clutching her hand to her chest. His cheek burned from the slap, but he didn't care.

Ichigo stared down at her. He didn't understand himself. There was no anger, hate from hitting back the woman in front of him.

What the fuck.

"I know we're different." Orihime spoke quietly. "I know that you're rich and I'm poor from the very moment I saw you. But that doesn't mean I'll sell my body especially to a selfish, arrogant and short tempered guy. In your life, you've got everything you wanted, but it doesn't mean you can hut other people's life. You're just hurting yourself and humiliating yourself." She took a deep breathe and gave her last comment. " You're like a trash."

"Yes. I am a trash." Ichigo replied shortly.

Orihime didn't answer.

"My mother died when I was eight...-"

Ichigo was about to finish his sentence, but he heard noise behind him. He turned his head sideways observing the situation.

He recognized his mischievous smile and eyed the familiar face.

"Kurosaki-san. What have you done to yourself this time?"
