I will get stronger.

That's what she told herself.

I will move on.

She chanted it like a mantra.

I will forget you.


Chapter 2

Heading for Urahara's, Orihime made sure that she wasn't being followed by the two captains at her apartment. Seeing that she was a safe distance away, she used shunpo the rest of the way like second nature to her and made it in record timing in front of the shop.

Knocking loud enough just for the occupants inside to hear her. Waiting for any signs of life to make its self-know, she went to knock again but before that the sliding door slide open and revealed a tired and doozy Urahara in front of her.

"Um.."

"Well..(yawns)..hello there miss Inoue..( yawns again)..what brings you here this late at night?"

"OH well, I-I was wondering if you had a.. spare room that I could stay in for the night and maybe..here and there during the week?" she stumbled a bit trying to keep up the façade until they got inside if she wasn't really able to lose the two watchdogs that she hoped she lost on the way here.

"Why of course we do but I would really like to know why you chose to come so late like this and why you wouldn't stay at your apartment." Giving her a more serious look that didn't match the way he spoke to her, trying to gauge her reaction. "But please come in and we can discuss about it some more if you like." Stepping to the side to let her through.

"Thank you Urahara-san, I'm really grateful and sorry about the inconvenience in timing." Walking in and taking off her shoes she waited for him to lead her into the back to talk about the upcoming matter at hand.

Showing her to the spare room that they had used when she was tired from their training then going back to the simi-living room, she started explain why she couldn't stay home and the people who appeared was the reasons she left and came here.

"So that's why you came here…huh"

"Yea it really was unexpected for them to show without warning or early noticed." Letting her face relax knowing that the man is known for holding many secrets and making his emotions really well. Urahara was the only person that Orihime can actually trust to let her emotions go and feel something now that she knew would never tell anyone. And if he did he would only do what he always do which was talk everything in riddles which most likely liked the person stun every time unless you were the topic of the subject and knew what he was doing and saying.

Seeing how she now was more relaxed he decide to press a tad bit further on the matter and how she will handle it.
"So have you thought of a solution to your little dilemma?"

"Yes I will just say that something came up at Tatsuki-chan's house whiched caused me to stay the night there since it was already late."

"Do you think they will believe that Orihime?"

"I don't expect them to, but if they do then that would be one problem solved and giving me time to fix another."

'Interesting. She has grown quiet well over the months and has progressed far too where it's like looking in a mirror.' He shudder slightly at the thought which was exciting cause he had always wonder about her powers and if she was going to enhance them in anyway way how.

"I will continue doing as I have done but making sure that I put in extra effort to keep up my appearance and reaching my goal."

"But why keep hiding it? Especially from the very people who can help you the most and support you through the thing?"

Then silence came.

"Cause they would only try to stop me saying that 'I'm only just a healer' and that I can only heal and saying that I would only just be getting in the way of things." The now rising anger can be heard from her voice.

"True but do you think that you are going about it the right way? I mean the soul society is already suspicious of you and thinks something is up. Do you think that you can keep them at bay while keeping up your appearance in front of your friends?"

She took a time to think about it and why he had stressed that one word so much.

"I will keep everything hidden and make sure that they lose interest in me."

Pausing, she thought some more.

"And you will help me conceal everything so that no one will ever hear or know about it until that day comes were everything will finally be revealed."

Shocked was displayed on his face even though his was shadowing the top part, Orihime could easily see the surprise that had just appeared moments ago before it disappeared. What got him the most was the calm tone and icy smile that was on her face when she had said that. It ran o small chill down his spine.

After a while getting lost in each other thoughts. Orihime decide it was time to get some rest, so she excused herself to go change and get some rest for the remaining night. Leaving Kisuke to his thoughts about what will be in store for him and everything else. 'Orihime Inoue. What are you really? How far will you take this? And how will the world react to what will unfold?" Calling it a night he also retires to get some much-needed sleep while taking in all the new information that he had just been given.

Morning came with the sun rays beaming through the partly open curtain filling the room with its warm orange rays. Feeling the warm beam upon her face giving it that angelic glow with her hair flowing around her like a light auburn halo with curls. Shifting Orihime forced her body to get up and awake to a new day. She quickly changed clothes, brushed her hair, teeth then silently walking out at the break of dawn and shunpo her back to her apartment. Going through the window without alartign anyone, Orihime dumped her bag on her bed then grabbed her uniform for school to put on after her morning shower.

Twenty minutes later she came out somewhat happy but refreshed and ready for the day to unfold. Fixing a quick meal then jogging her way out the door to school before the two could even get up. She made it to her school earlier then expected until she felt the huge amounts of spiritual presser coming from above the school.

'Their here.'
