Like always
A.N: So this is my first angst like Ichihime y'all! I hope you enjoy it and review! I'm hoping to try my hand at something other than just one-shots but I know uploading will be a problem so I'll stick with the small stuff for now.
Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own Bleach. :(
Like Always

She was so sick of it, so sick of the hurt, so sick of the fear, so sick of everything that came with being Inoue Orihime. She was a straight A student but a little ditz, she had a killer body but couldn't get the one person she wanted to look at her to actually do that! She was only eighteen but she wondered if that was what her life would be like, having to watch while he saved her, having to heal while he got hurt, and having to witness him get closer to her
She stood overlooking the river, the same river where he'd lost his mother so many years ago. Ichigo Kurosaki, her Kurosaki-kun. She frowned, staring down at the raging water, the rain falling around her soaking her to the bone, leaving her as numb and cold on the outside as she's begun to feel on the inside.
"He isn't yours you idiot." She told herself. There was a loud thunder clap overhead as if the heavens were agreeing with her. She looked back down, her bare feet were hugging the bridges hand rail, her frail hand was holding onto a beam for support. She stared at her hand, her long fingers were pale and dripping with water, and she vaguely wondered what would happen if she let go. Would he care?
"Of course he would," she whispered a tear falling down her cheek and mixing with rain. She looked up at the sky before continuing "he'd care but for all the wrong reasons."
Her hair stuck to her face, she'd left her pins at home, she knew they'd talk her ear off had she decided to bring them along. She'd left a note as well, though the way her hand tightened around the beam she wondered if she'd manage to go through with anything. She smiled as lightning illuminated he gloomy city of Karakura, wondering why people hated the rain. Orihime always thought it had the power to wash away anything that hurt, she always thought I could connect what would by any other means never touch.
There was no rain in her world, she was the sky floating and free and Ichigo was the land, rough and ever changing, and it never rained, so they never touched. She took one more deep breath before she looked down at the water again, the water was calm and for the first time in a while she allowed a scowl to grace her soft features, the action producing a tear. The rain fell quietly and she wonders if it's passing. She felt a hollows presence a few yards away, before it disappeared all together. He was out there.
Another tear falls and the rain begins to pick up one again, pounding against her back and pushing her forward. She looks at her feet and smiles if she moved then she'd slip. She feels his reaitsu spike as yet another hollow appears and her heart skips, hoping for his well being.
"And if he's not alright," she whispers "he'll just come to me to be healed. Like always." She mumbled wiping her cheeks.
She hated being weak, she hated being her. She wanted to be strong but wanting never got her anywhere, and when she tried to do, she simply got in the way. She wonders why it's so hard to live and looking beneath her, why its so hard to decide whether or not to die. She could feel him coming closer, and she wondered how she was still standing, she'd been in the same spot for over a while, her reaitsu must've been extremely weakened.
He's coming closer, he's inching closer, she can almost smell him. No rain could ever obstruct his scent, so spicy and manly with a hidden sweetness that was uniquely his. He's coming closer.
Deep breaths, painful deep breaths, her heart isn't beating as fast as she thought it would.
Lightning.
Thunder.
He's there.
"Inoue." One word, spoken from one single pair of lips, shattered one world into a thousand pieces.
A/N: So guys tell me what you think? Is it getting good? Do you even know what's going on?
