Chapter 2:

Orihime's pov

It has been a week since Orihime and Hichigo started dating and their relationship was really great.

They never really had fights (probably because Orihime is scared of seeing Hichigo mad), they agree and disagree with some stuff, like whether Hichigo should sleep with Orihime since the apartment only has room for one bed, so he decided to sleep with her.

Hichigo ate regular human food which surprised Orihime. But they loved being with each other.

Hichigo's Pov

Hichigo cuddled next to Orihime with her in his arms. He then nuzzled his face into her hair, taking in her sweet scent.

Suddenly the alarm clock went off, waking p Orihime and Hichigo. I swear I will tear the living crap out of that stupid clock! He thought to himself, feeling mad that he had to wake up from a great night's sleep.

He reached over to her dresser to turn off the alarm with a tight fist, which should've broken it.

But he didn't, Orihime stretched in his arms, slowly getting up. What time is it?" she asked sleepily, getting out of bed.

"Time for more sleep," Hichigo mumbled, turning over to the other side of the bed to get some sleep. "Yeah, maybe for you, but not for me, I've got school to go to." She turned to kiss his lips.

"Besides, I didn't think that alarm clocks would scare strong hollows like you." He kissed her back with a smirk. "It didn't scare me, it just annoyed the living crap out of me. I wish humans would find another way to wake up. It's really pathetic."

Orihime then darted out of bed getting ready for school while Hichigo watched her. "Hey, anymore running around and you're going to make me dizzy," he said in a sarcastic tone.

She replied, "Sorry, but I can't be late for school, and besides I don't want to make my friends worry about me," she said before she gasped, after seeing him without a shirt, showing his broad chest.

She still wasn't used to living with a hollow that looks like Ichigo. After she had said that she couldn't be late, Hichigo was in front of her in an instant.

He then picked her up and placed Orihime on his back, giving her a piggy-back ride. She was clinging on to dear life.

With her arms and legs wrapped around him tightly, she realizes that, he has a black shirt with skulls on it, which is his favorite shirt, "So, what was you saying about being late?"

He flash-stepped out of the window and went so fast that no one could see him. It was only a matter of minutes before Orihime was at school.

She slowly climb off of his hard back, but she was wobbling when she was standing, Hichigo then wrapped his arms around her waist, waiting for the dizziness to go away.

"Heh, guessin' you can't do that again. Sorry," he said after chuckling, but he had a sorrowful look on his face.

He lifted up her face to look at his and he softly kissed her lips, "Feel better?" he asked, his face inches from hers, his breath tickling skin and his lips brushing hers.

"A little better," she said while she leaned her head on his chest. "Well, I should go, so you won't be late."

He unwrapped his arms around her and leaned his face to hers for one more kiss and said "See ya after school, Kay?"

"Yeah, just don't be late," Orihime said with a soft smile. Hichigo flash-stepped and was gone, so Orihime went toward the school.

But what she didn't know was that her friend Tatsuki was watching and she didn't know that Orihime had a hollow for a boyfriend.

Tatsuki's Pov

Before she came to school, Tatsuki was practicing some judo, since she is a black belt.

She then got ready for school and walked on her way there when suddenly she saw a boy with a girl on his back, but what shocked her was that the boy looked like Ichigo except with pale orange hair and, even though she couldn't see this right, it looked as if he had black eyes.

But what really surprised her was that the girl was Orihime, and they were heading to the school. They were going so fast that she couldn't really see them.

But she was certain that whoever they are, she was going to find out what was going on. When she ran to the school, she hid behind a tree to find the two characters standing in front of the entrance.

Tatsuki then realized that the girl was Orihime, but the boy must've been Ichigo's cousin or something because his hair and eyes told her that this wasn't Ichigo.

But when they kissed, that totally caught her by surprise. Orihime didn't tell her that she had a boyfriend, and she would've told Tatsuki that she had a boyfriend sooner, but she didn't.

The boy with the pale orange hair was the one that caught her eye. But his black and golden eyes was what really hypnotized her, making her walk toward him, exposing herself from hiding.

Tatsuki then thought that he wasn't human, since he can run faster then a cheetah and can pin down a regular person to where they are shaking like crazy.

But she was wondering what the boy really was and what does he want with Orihime.

As soon as he disappeared, Tatsuki ran behind Orihime, just waiting to ask her questions about her mysterious boyfriend, and what is his name? These questions ran thru head as she went toward the school entrance.

Orihime's Pov

When she went to her desk, Orihime got her school supplies out and waited for class to start, since she was the only person there until Tatsuki came in and sat at her desk.

"Good morning, Tatsuki! How are you today?" Orihime asked with a warm smile. "I'm great. How about you? I-I just wanted to talk to you about something." She said in a low tone, even though there was nobody else around.

"Sure, what's it about?" Orihime asked with suspension in her voice. "It's about this morning. Who was with you in front of the school? Is he your boyfriend? And also, is he even human? I've seen you two coming to school whenever he was running so fast and his eyes is so weird! Who is he, Orihime?!" Tatsuki's face was getting redder with volume increasing in her voice, just waiting for an answer.

"Y-yes, he is my boyfriend, but the rest you might not believe. He...is what some people call hollows or bad spirit. People can see him because he has his own body and he wanted it to look sort of like Ichigo's body. His name is Hichigo, almost like Ichigo's name except the "H" is from the word hollow. So he got stuck with that name." Orihime explained this while Tatsuki listened, letting it sink in.

She finally thought of it and accepted that her friend is going out with a very bad spirit that loves her, which made (a little) sense. But what really confused her was why did Hichigo wanted to go out with Orihime?

Orihime answered her after she asked, "One of the reasons why is that whenever he got out of Ichigo's body he wanted to be with someone and one day he found me so he asked me to be his girlfriend, and he also saw that I was lonely, wanting to be with someone."

Soon the classroom was full of students and the private little conversation had to wait till lunch. Finally, when the bell rang for lunchtime, Tatsuki sat with Orihime to finish their conversation.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Hichigo jumped out of a tree, landed in front of the two girls, and sat down with his legs cross-legged, placing Orihime in his lap. "Sorry for the jump, but I wanted to spend a little time with you before you go back," he said after he gave a little laugh, wrapping his arms around her waist and nuzzling his face into her neck.

He then noticed Tatsuki, sitting motionless like a statue with wide eyes, scared out of her wits, waiting for the hollow to do something else.

"So, who is this human? I can smell her from here, which smells alright, but not as good, as my Orihime, but who is she?" Hichigo asked with his eyes glimmering with confusion, all focused on Tatsuki.

"She's my friend. Her name is Tatsuki!" Tatsuki then began to move and waved at Hichigo, but she was still shaking.

"Heh, you're tense too, huh? So your Orihime's friend, is that right? Nice to meet you," he said with a crocked smile.

"I-its nice to meet you, too." Tatsuki began to move toward the classroom door, since the bell was about to ring, but Hichigo was too fast for her and blocked the doorway.

"Way don't you sit down and talk? I won't bite, much," he said while walking toward her, making her sits down.

But before they could even speak, the bell rang to go back. "I'll meet you after school, 'kay?" Hichigo said while walking towards Orihime and wrapped her up in his arms.

"'Kay," she said before kissing him for a long time, but Orihime broke for air. "See ya," Hichigo said before he jumped up into a tree and then disappeared.

Tatsuki slowly rose up on her feet, still shaking a little bit. "S-so, was that Hichigo?" she asked Orihime with fear in her voice. "Yup, that's him! He waits for me after school and he even lives with me! I'm so happy that he loves me more than anything!" she explained this while they walked to class.

Tatsuki tried to be cheerful around her friend, but every time she thinks of Hichigo's eyes she shivers from the glimmer of his gold pupils.

After school, Tatsuki asked if she could walk with Orihime and (of course) Hichigo, and Orihime didn't mind, but they waited at the bus stop. "I told him not to be late!" Orihime mumbled under her breath.

"How long do you usually won't for him?" Tatsuki asked, "Oh, about 15-20 minutes, but every time he's late and I worry for him," she said in a somber tone.

Then, suddenly, they heard a bloodcurdling scream.

Hichigo's Pov

Just like any other normal day, Hichigo would be on his way to the bus stop to walk with

Orihime. But today was different.

Every day he passes one of the local grocery stones that is about a black away from the bus stop. But he noticed something different in the store this time.

It looked like some people was in it, but they didn't wear any store uniforms. So, being very curious, he went inside to see what was going on.

He realized that some of the food in the store was missing and the store was missing and the two men were already out the back door.

So he flash-stepped in front of them, bumping into each other, making them fall to the ground but Hichigo barely moved. "W-who the heck are you!?" One of the men shouted while he pulled out a knife from his pocket.

The man ran up to him and tried to stab Hichigo in the stomach, but Hichigo just grabbed him by the throat and pulled him off the ground, which was child's play for him. "L-let go of m-me!!" the thief begged, squirming and trying to get free, "Heh… sure," and Hichigo threw the man to the wall of the grocery store, smashing againest the wall so hard it killed him.

The other man was shaking everywhere and slowly backing up, then he ran for the back door of the store, trying to re-enter it for escape.

But Hichigo flash-stepped again and picked him up by the shirt collar. "P-p-p-p…" he kept on stuttering and it was getting on Hichigo's last nerves.

"C'mon, I ain't getting' any younger, so would you please spill it out already?" he asked with an hungry expression on his face, his gold pupils glowing very bright.

"P-please don't kill m-m-me!" he cried, trying very hard to get out of his grip. "Would you stop with the 'please don't hurt me' crap? I'm just here to stop two thieves from getting' away with loads of food, and probably get a bite to eat," he said with an hungry grin on his face.

"H-here, take all this food there; have all you want!" the thief said, pointing to the box of food. But Hichigo wasn't interested in the food, he was eyeing the other man that was lying on the ground, dead, "Not human food, but I guess now is a really good time to have some." Hichigo then spotted something; the soul of the other thief, with a chain in the middle of his chest.

He was standing next to his body that chain connected to it. His face twisted in shock and confusion, staring at his body in disbelief. "W-what happened to me?! Why do I have this chain in my chest?!" The thief then realized that Hichigo was giving him a black hungry gaze and a wicked grin.

Hichigo licked his lips with his blue tongue that made the thief shiver all over. The dead thief tried to run away, but Hichigo grabbed the chain and pulled the thief closer towards him. "Hey, who said you can go? I ain't had my fun yet." Hichigo let go of the second thief to the ground, but the man was so scared he couldn't move.

The first thief was struggling held on tight to his chain of fate. He then broke the chain from the thief's body and his soul. Before the thief could do anything, Hichigo held him by the throat and holding him off the ground.

"Now then, let's finish this so I can go pick up my girl," he said with a wicked glimmer in his bright eyes. All of a sudden there was nothing but snapping and chopping, until there was a little puddle of blood.

The second thief sat there, completely frozen as he watched Hichigo lick the blood from his lips, turning his head slowly towards him, making his neck crack. Hichigo came up to him slowly, a crocked evil smirk on his face.

"Say, that wasn't too bad. Let's see if this one has any flavor," he said by grabbing the thief by the throat this time. Squirming like a warm on a hook, the thief then let out a hair-raising scream, but it didn't last long after Hichigo broke his neck easily, like a tooth pick.

After Hichigo finished his meal, he flash-stepped towards the bus stop. He then saw Tatsuki standing next to Orihime, waiting for him with panic in their faces. Hichigo flash-stepped behind Orihime, grab her by the waist, turned her around to face him and gave her a soft kiss.

"So, how was my queen today? You didn't get into trouble, did you?" he said after licking her jawline hungrily. "I had a great day today and I didn't get into trouble. But where were you? I was worried about you, and then we heard this awful scream-" but Hichigo interrupted her with another kiss, making her forget what she was saying.

"Now, what were you talking about? You didn't have to worry about me, I was… busy. Let's just say that I had a little fun before I came here," he said while his head was ducked down near where her heart was beating fast.

Tatsuki stood there with a cold sweat running down her spine. "Well, well, well. If it ain't Tatsuki! What are you doing here?" he eyed her with a suspicious look in his eyes.

"She was just wanting to walk with us home. She asked if she could and I said yeah," Orihime explained with a fearful voice since she didn't want her friend to be in any type of trouble.

But Hichigo just shrugged. "Cool," and he started walking with Orihime beside him, hanging on to her waist. "You coming or not?" Hichigo said with an annoyed tone. "Y-yeah," Tatsuki finally said, slowly walking behind them.

Hichigo held Orihime too close to him. But Hichigo was keeping a close eye on Tatsuki, taking a glance at her every few minutes. After walking for an half hour, they was at the apartment building.

"Well, I guess I should go home," Tatsuki suggested, taking a few steps back. "You don't have to go. You can stay and have dinner if you like," Orihime pleaded under Hichigo's arm, while Hichigo gave Tatsuki a hungry, evil glance, like he wanted to eat her soul. Tatsuki couldn't take it anymore, so she finally said, "Sorry, but I have tons of homework to do."

So she waved them goodbye and ran on home. Hichigo snickered and said, "Heh, she's scared of me. She couldn't wait to get out of here. Feh, weak human." He let Orihime go and they walked up the stairs to their apartment room.

Orihime opened the door and turned on some lights. Hichigo sat down on the bed and then took off his black shirt, but he realized that it had the thieves' blood on it. He threw it on the dirty clothes hamper, hoping that Orihime won't see it.

Orihime sat down next to him, holding his hand. But Hichigo had something else in mind.

He pulled Orihime closer to him grabbed her by the waist, and laid down with her laying on his chest, blushing very red against his skin. She took a couple of deep breaths before she could see his face.

When she did, he had a huge smirk on his face. He then started playing with her hair, till he finally said, "I never thought I would love a human as much as I do to you." He sat up a little bit to where she was sitting on his lap, trying to get her breath back.

He lifted up her chin with his forefinger and thumb, "You look really cute when you blush like that," he said while brushing her check with his hand.

He lifted up her face to where they're eyes met. He then gave her a soft, gentle kiss. But something else happened that has never happened before.

Hichigo rolled over to where he was on top of Orihime and started to lick and kiss her throat. He then started to unbutton her shirt, and Orihime couldn't do anything against someone as strong as him.

He made it to the last button and suddenly just stopped. He lifted up his face from her throat to her expression.

"Sorry, I was curios. I really wanted to see what was underneath that shirt," he said while lifting her back up. She was gasping and breathing when she finished buttoned her shirt.

"Y-you've never… done that…before. What did you get into before you came to pick me up?" she asked breathlessly, resting her head on his chest. "Nothin' important, really. Just a quick bite to eat is all." Hichigo then heard Orihime's stomach growl and realized that she was hungry.

"You should get something to eat," he said while letting her out of his iron grasp. Orihime headed for the kitchen, and then she twirled around to ask, "Do you want anything to eat? I can fix you something if you like," Hichigo thought on it till he finally said, "Just something small, since I am a little full from my last meal," he chuckled a little bit.

She then took some food from the kitchen cabinets and sat them on the counter top. What she didn't see though was a cutting knife on the counter, right next to the food.

Orihime was so busy trying to cook that she didn't see how close it was to her hand when she was getting some food, until finally she got too close to the knife and it left a huge cut on her hand.

She let a small scream which shocked Hichigo. He came over to see her hand, which was covered in blood.

He lifted it so he could see it better, but before he did anything else, he started licking the blood. He liked around the cut and all of the blood was gone.

Hichigo then noticed Orihime's shocked face and tear-filled eyes. Soon after the blood was gone, Hichigo healed her hand with Kido. Her eyes were still filled with tears, so he decided to kiss them away, too.

"W-why did you taste my blood?" she asked with confusion in her voice. "I guess because I was curious of what it tasted like. It's not like I'm a vampire or anything you humans use in your little make-believe. But it was really tempting, and it smelled very sweet, just like your body. You're probably the only human I don't want to kill," he said this after he cleaned up the floor.

"But there are other humans that I might kill if they get on my bad side. But you, no. There's no way you could make me mad." Since Orihime was to dizzy to do anything, Hichigo carried her to the bed and finished cooking for her.

After they ate, Orihime finished her homework and took a shower, which Hichigo tried to take a peek inside, but Orihime shooed him away, then it was his turn to take one.

Then they were finally ready for bed, and Orihime was still a little dizzy from losing a lot of blood, but Hichigo kept her close to him. When they lay down in their bed, Hichigo turned out the light and tighted his grip around Orihime.

Not too much, though, but enough to feel the shape of her body through her silk gown. He then did little patterns on her stomach with his fingers, playing with her skin and gown.

When Orihime was finally asleep, Hichigo rolled over on his back with her lying on his chest, twirling her hair playfully. He was also getting to the point to be he was getting tired, so he rolled over to where Orihime was laying next to him again.

Before he went to sleep, he gently kissed her lips and brushed them with his fingertips. He yawned and cuddled closer into Orihime's hair, listening to her breathing come and go.

It wasn't long for Hichigo to finally fall asleep, until there was a strange noise at the door, like a scratching sound. Hichigo realized that someone was trying to break in into the apartment.

He got up from bed and flash-stepped out of the apartment to see who it was. He noticed that there was only one man, wearing a black hoodie with the hood over his face, trying to unlock the door with a paper clip.

The person didn't know that Hichigo was standing behind him. Hichigo walked up to him slowly with an angry expression on his face. Angry because he was sleeping really great and also, he was wanting to spend more time with Orihime in his arms.

When he was close enough, Hichigo let out a small snicker, seeing how weak and helpless the thief was with just a paperclip. The man jumped and turned around slowly to see those black and gold eyes staring at him with anger and hunger.

"W-who are you and w-want do you want?" the thief said, stuttering breathlessly. "You were making so much noise that it woke me up and now I'm very ticked off. I also can't spend any time with my girl and that makes me furious," Hichigo replied with a hateful tone.

The thief then lunged at Hichigo with the paperclip, which didn't do any good. But Hichigo grabbed him by the wrist and lifted the man off the ground and held him in the air for a long time.

Finally Hichigo said with an evil laugh, "Hmm... let's see...how should I kill you? Quick and painless or slow and painful? Heh heh heh ..." He let go of his wrist, but then grabbed his throat tightly, making the thief choke and gasp for air.

Hichigo was licking his lips with his blue tongue, watching the thief struggle with an amused look on his face. "Seeing you humans squirm like this is really entertaining. But, sadly, the fun has to end eventually."

As he said this, Hichigo tightened his grip o the thief's throat, until it snapped like a twig. He dropped the dead body on the floor, which landed with a Ker-thump! Soon after, the soul of the thief was standing near the corner in a daze, then shortly after he remembered what had happened.

After doing a flash-step, Hichigo grabbed his chain and pulled the thief closer towards him. When he was close enough, Hichigo lifted him up from the ground again, except this time he used the thief's chain.

He then broke the chain and grabbed his throat again, making him gasp for air. "Well, let's see how good you taste," Hichigo said, bringing his face closer to the thief's neck.

Then, the most gruesome thing happened, he took a huge bite out of his neck, blood flying every where. After that, there was nothing but snapping, biting, and blood.

It was like the two other thieves he ate that afternoon, little blood on the floor and blood on Hichigo's lips, licking it with his blue tongue. Dragging the body outside, he throw it in the nearest trash dump.

He then flash-stepped through the apartment window and walked silently to the bathroom to wash off the blood from earlier. After he was clean, Hichigo went to bed and snuggled next to Orihime, her being in his arms again.

Now that he had a full stomach, he was extremely tired and finally yawned into Orihime's skin, then he drifted to sleep, happy now that there was no more burglars trying to break in.

He nestled his arms around her breasts and brought her closer to him. Soon, they were both deeply asleep, not expecting what they will face tomorrow.

Orihime's Pov

As the sun was coming out, Orihime was slowly waking up Hichigo's arms, feeling his fingers trailing along her breasts, making them tickle. She felt his breathing running along her neck and his teeth gently biting it.

After what happened last night, Orihime had a huge headache and still felt a little dizzy. She tried to get up, but she couldn't. Not because she was dizzy, but that Hichigo was holding her so tight, she couldn't move, not even all an inch.

"Hey, Hichigo. It's time to wake up. Hichigo?" she said while trying to get out of his hold on her, but it had no effect. Instead, he turned her around to where her head was laying against his chest and was still holding her so tight.

He buried his face into her hair, smelling her skin while still being asleep. Orihime made one last attempt to wake him up, so she reached up towards his lips and kissed them. He immediately kissed back, but he was still asleep. Then Orihime heard Hichigo mumbled some words that included her name and her scent while he was licking her check. Orihime had one idea that might work, but it was risky.

She tried tickling his stomach! Yes, she thought this was crazy, but it's the best she could think of. Surprisingly, it worked. He started chuckling and slowly opened his black eyes with a tried expression on his face.

He loosened his arms around her and brought her face to his for one more kiss till they broke for air and Hichigo finally said, "Good morning, my queen." "Good morning, sleepy-head. How did you sleep?" Orihime asked while brushing the hair from her face away. "Not too good really. I had some trouble going to sleep so I had a quick midnight snack," he replied with a quiet laugh and then catching a strand of Orihime's hair that fell over her lips.

"Well, you can sleep as long as you like, but I have to go to school. If I feel like going, that is," she said under her breath while trying to get out of bed without falling.

But Hichigo heard her and asked, "If?" "I still feel awful from last night, I don't know if I can even walk to the door," she said before she trip and fell on the floor.

"Ow, how much more ditzy can I get?" she was rubbing her ankle until she felt two firm hands, placing themselves on her shoulders, then started to climb their way down through the rest of her body.

She then felt a cool breath hovering over her neck, making her skin tickle all over again. Then two long legs extended in front of her and folded under hers.

She was then placed on his lap where he held her with his arms around her waist and his chin nestled on her head, "I really think you should stay home. You wouldn't be able to make it the first hour there. Besides, I've been lonely here all by myself and I want some company today," he said while trailing his fingers around her collarbone and then her throat.

Orihime pondered on the idea for a minute rubbing her ankle again, knowing that his bright golden were watching her every movement. Then, after a long moment she finally said, "I think I will stay home. There is no way I can go with a headache like this."

As she said that, she could feel his hands briefly going down passed her waist to pull her gown up, since it only goes to her thigh. When he finally pulled it to the length he wanted, his hand went underneath her garment until Orihime stopped him with her hands, even though they were weak and fragile compared to his iron hands.

"Well, as long as I'm not going to be by myself today, at least I can have some fun, hmm?" he chuckled while pulling her gown back to its original length. "But this piece of clothing is really tempting. It's making me really hungry," again, licking her throat, "Which is why you should cover that up."

In his closet, he reached for a black shirt and pulled it over her head, covering up her silk garment. "There. All done. Now, about that ankle." He said while his eyes were watching Orihime, rubbing her ankle yet again.

Hichigo lifted her ankle, gently touched it and then used some kido to heal it since it was swollen. But Orihime was still too dizzy to do anything, so Hichigo picked her up in his arms and placed her on the bed.

Orihime watched him as he turned the TV on and then headed for the kitchen. The morning news was all that was on, but Orihime didn't get up to change the channel so she just listened to the news people blabber on about the weather.

What she heard next shocked her. Three murders accord yesterday two at a food market and the third inside a trash dump. The third was no concern to her, but the two at the store really caught her eye.

Those two men were killed at the time when she and Tatsuki waited for Hichigo. She also remembered Hichigo saying that he had something to eat before he came to pick them up, and that he was up late last night, getting something else to eat.

But the news anchor said that the two at the store was trying to steal some food and money so they're saying that it was a heroic deed in some way, but the third was being said, Orihime wondered if Hichigo really did kill those men.

But she also remembered that hollows eat human souls and since those men did something to make Hichigo angry or really did try to steal something, she believed that people should be punished for doing things that are wrong.

All of this thinking made Orihime even more dizzy, so she laid her head down on the pillow to ease her headache. Orihime was then being carried by two strong arms toward the kitchen. Hichigo placed Orihime in his lap and kept her very close to his chest.

Rumbling with hunger Orihime's stomach growled and her face blushed embarrassment. But Hichigo just snickered and pulled her closer to him. He garbed a plate of food and placed it in front of Orihime.

Having his own plate of food, Hichigo started eating in earnest. "So did you hear about those three men getting killed?" Orihime asked, eating and chewing her food slowly.

Hichigo gulped his last bite and placed his chopsticks on his plate and answered, "Yeah, I hared about that while I was in here."

Orihime saw him pick up his glass of milk, drank it all the way down, and put the cup back on the table and finally asked "What about it? You're not scared about it, are you?"

"No it's not that. Its just I was wondering if… you were somehow responsible for it. You didn't kill them did you?" Hichigo paused for a short time, then he answered. "If I did, you wouldn't be mad at me would you?"

"No I wouldn't if they were doing things to make you mad or hurt somebody else. That I understand." she said this while finishing her breakfast and leaned her head on his chest, feeling his breathing come and go.

"Yeah I did. The two at the store was stealing some things. But the third one was trying to break in our apartment. That's why I killed them .Their souls, though, was very delicious," he chuckled into her hair.

Orihime wasn't shocked or scared, but instead she was happy in a way. One reason why she was happy is because he stopped someone from breaking in their home. Another reason is that if the other two was left alive, they could break into other places or other homes.

But the only thing she is scared of is seeing those thieves getting killed. She shivered from the thought. Although he did eat some human souls, Orihime felt safe around Hichigo.

Now that their conversation was over, Orihime tried to get up on her own one more time, but failed terribly as she fell down again in Hichigo's lap. With a small laugh, Hichigo said softly in her ear, "You really need some more sleep."

He carried her again to the bed and placed her on top of him, her head against his chest, just like last night. She felt his fingers running thru her hair slowly and gently, all the way to her waist.

She knew immediately that he was asleep, since he stopped playing with her hair and his arm was still around her waist. As she laid there, Orihime wondered what her friends would say when she comes back to school, asking her why wasn't she at school and what happened to her.

Tatsuki is probably the one who was worried the most. She was worried about what she would say when she walks through the classroom door.

Tired and dizzy, Orihime closed her eyes to get some rest and tried not to think about all these thoughts. Hichigo brought his other arm and placed it around her waist with his first arm, and very slowly, rolled over to where Orihime was on her side.

He then leaned his head toward her body, placing it underneath the black shirt and he started to lick her breasts, until he took the shirt off and continued licking them. Her skin was tickling all over as both Hichigo's tongue and hot breath stroked through both of her breasts and heard him mumble her name every few minutes.

She ran her fingers through his spiky hair, hearing him sigh every once in a while. Orihime slowly drifted to sleep while at school, everyone was talking about the three unsolved murders from last night.

Tatsuki's pov

As she walked through the classroom door, Tatsuki had a weird feeling that something was not right. She saw everyone she talks to everyday, all except Orihime.

Looking at Orihime's empty desk, Tatsuki worried that something bad happened to her friend. Uryu came through the door and sat down in his chair with a firm expression.

He then noticed that Orihime wasn't there and started to look disappointed for some reason. The classroom was buzzing with talk of the three murders that occurred last night.

Most of the students was scared that the killer might still be on the loose, but Tatsuki had a guess at who killed those three men. What she was really concerned about is if she could trust Hichigo with being around Orihime.

So she decided to visit Orihime's apartment and check on her, since it was getting close to the weekend anyway. All she had to do is wait for the school day to end.

All of this was running Tatsuki's mind until Uryu came up to her desk and sat next to her. "So, do you have any idea to what happened to Orihime?" he asked with a concerned tone.

"I dunno for sure, but I have some guesses for why she ain't here," she answered, surprised, "But why do you ask?" This took Uryu off guard, so he quickly replied, "Oh, n-nothing really. Just wondering if she is ok."

Tatsuki then noticed that Uryu, was acting different and it looked like he was hiding something. This was making her curious and making her wonder why Uryu, of all people, would be worried about somebody like Orihime.

It just didn't make any sense. Tatsuki believed, and probably the whole class as well, that Uryu didn't have a heart and doesn't care about anyone. With all of this going on, Tatsuki and Uryu both tried to listen to the teacher while she handed out each a worksheet for the students who was still whispering about the murders but was caught by the teacher.

The day seemed to drag on until the bell finally rang for the students to leave. Taking a quick shortcut, Tatsuki headed for Orihime's apartment.

She ran as fast as she could until she finally saw the building. As she was turning the doorknob, she heard footsteps walking behind her. Tatsuki turned around to see who it was, ready to fight with her judo skills.

Feeling a hand over her mouth and an arm around her waist, she was now completely defenseless. She heard a cold voice in her ear, "What are you doing here?" she shivered from the familiar voice and was so scared to even move.

Hichigo then let go of her and disappeared from behind her only to show himself in front of her. Her back was against the door and in a quivering voice, she said, "I-I was j-just wanting t-to see Orihime, Hichigo." He laughed right after she said his name.

"Even though you act tough, you're still weak," he said while stroking her jawline with his finger, making her shake all over. But he stopped suddenly to give her an unreadable expression with a hateful glare in his black eyes, like he didn't want her around with him and Orihime, she couldn't get out of Hichigo's gaze, seeing that he enjoyed watching her being afraid of him.

"You're wasting my time, human. I want to be with my queen and your in the way," he spat at her while turning to the opposite direction, Tatsuki staggering behind him. Now she was ticked off and wanted more answers.

She followed him around the building until she saw him looking up. Then she noticed that Orihime's window was on this side along with other rooms. Hichigo then gave Tatsuki another evil glare and then, in a instant, he jump up so high to Orihime's room and climbed inside the window.

Stunned and amazed, Tatsuki stood there for a moment and stared to rethink her plans of trying to talk to the hollow. So she walked back to the door and climbed up the stairs to Orihime's apartment.

It took her a while for her to knock on the door, until finally she made two quick knocks on the door. Orihime answered and the minute she saw Tatsuki, she gave her a giant hug and it left Tatsuki breathless.

"Oohh Tatsuki, I've missed you today! How are you?" Orihime said cheerfully, after she let go of her. This shocked Tatsuki extremely bad.

She didn't even know what was going on, so she replied back. "I-I'm fine, just wanted to see if you were feeling alright," she said while looking over Orihime's shoulder, making sure that her boyfriend wasn't listening, which he probably was.

"Oh, I'm better now! I had a terrible headache and had a dizzy spell so I decided to stay home and tried to ease it off with sleep. Knowing me, I would run into every wall and door at the school if I came like that," she said, rubbing her forehead a couple times.

Tatsuki then heard a small chuckle in the apartment and felt the hairs on her neck stand up. He was here after all, and he heard every word in their conversation.

She should've known that Hichigo was very close (especially around Orihime). Tatsuki felt uncomfortable there so she started to walk out of the building until Orihime asked, "Where are you going?"

Knowing what she said would break friend's heart, so Tatsuki quickly said, "Oh, I just wanted to finish some homework before the weekend, but I guess I could stay here for a while." Orihime's face brightened and gave Tatsuki another hug.

So she came in through the door and sat down at the kitchen table. A cold sweat went down her spine when she saw Hichigo staring at her from the bedroom.

He then started to walk towards the kitchen, his bright golden eyes on Orihime, a small smirk forming on his lips. As he sat down, Orihime brought loads of food, enough for an entire army, "Hope you guys are hungry," she said while sitting herself down with the other two. But as soon as she sat down, Hichigo snatched Orihime and placed her on his lap, both sitting with their legs crossed.

Tatsuki watched as Hichigo nuzzled his entire face into Orihime's hair, then the hollow started whispering something in her ear. As she sat there, starting at them, Tatsuki felt that her friend was being treated like the hollow's personal toy than his girlfriend. But Orihime looked really happy that he was here.

It wasn't long that Tatsuki then thought that maybe Hichigo ain't so bad after all. But he still probably didn't like her being here. Shortly after they had eaten, they started to have a little conversation which was about today (and last night). They were all having a great time until they realized that it was getting really late.

Orihime yawned and snuggled her head closer into Hichigo's chest. He then lifted her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom, placed her on the bed, and gave her a soft gentle kiss. As he walked out, Tatsuki stood and walked out of the apartment, but the last thing she expected is that Hichigo would say bye.

Instead, he said in a low voice, "Sorry 'bout that earlier." This took Tatsuki off guard. "What?" she asked, surprised. "I said I am sorry," he said again with a small sigh. It took a while for Tatsuki to let it sink in.

She didn't think that Hichigo would talk to her like a normal person. "O-ok, um it's fine," she said in a quiet voice. "Well, I should go to bed. Even though I ain't human doesn't mean I don't need sleep," he gave a quiet chuckle as he was walking towards the bedroom.

But Tatsuki wasn't done asking him questions, so she tugged his pitch black shirt and it made him turn his head quickly, his black and gold eyes glaring at her. The sudden jerk from his head made her jump, along with a low growl that sounded inhuman.

Shaking all over, she simply said to him, "I-I'm sorry." She bowed her head down to hide her fear stroked face. Hichigo just stared at her for a short while, and he still looked angry, but he shrugged it off and said, "Don't worry about it. Its not like I would eat you, because of it. But don't it again." Tatsuki could tell there was a small growl after he spoke.

So she decided to leave immediately until she heard that same cold voice behind her say, "You will see Orihime when she goes back to school, but during these two days she's mine." All of this made Tatsuki's skin crawl all over, but she nodded and headed out the building, feeling more terrified than ever.
