Genre for Chapter: Angst, Friendship, and Action!
P.O.V.: Tatsuki
Disclaimer: Bleach isn't very angsty so ya this is applied! D=
Orihime has been my friend since the time I saw her in the Kurosaki Clinic. Misaki-chan and Ichigo had found her by the front doors. She was near death with multiple stab wounds and a bullet in her shoulder blade. She was lucky to even survive the operation.
Only, there was one problem, she fell for Ichigo
And an idiot like Ichigo couldn't see the love she had for him. To make matters even worse Ichigo loved her back but wouldn't say a thing so she wouldn't be in danger of the people planning revenge on him for beating them in a fight.
People like him are true idiots.
2. Idiots
"Hey, can I talk to you after school on the roof after school Ichigo," I asked the fool. He sat in his desk beside Orihime, who had gone to the bathroom at the moment.
"Yea, sure Tatsuki," he said back. He leaned back in his chair and rested his arms behind his head. "What are we going to talk about?"
"You'll see after school," I told him and walked off to my desk. I saw Orihime walk back in the room. She sat in her seat and chatted with Ichigo before the teacher entered and told us all to shut it or get out.
As the final bell rung its melody, Orihime had ran out the door after Ichigo had. My feet took me to the roof's stairs, he must be there since he was the first to leave. I walked slowly knowing it would annoy him for being late. The door leading on was cracked open slightly and I just shook my head already knowing that the stupid lug on the other side had left it this way. I pushed the door open to reveal said man.
"Kurosaki…" I say seeing the orange headed boy as the door swings open. His figure lies against the chained fence at the end of the roof. He frowns at my presence, so I do it right back to him.
"Tatsuki," he says right back smoothly. He looks at the sky for awhile.
I stare at him and give him a sharp glare. "Tell me Ichigo," my fists curl up ready to strike if needed. "Do you love some one or do you not?"
He doesn't answer for a few minutes, he just stands there. He does not say a word; I'm getting irritated with him already.
"Just tell me! I know you have feelings for her!"
He sighs then answers. "I already told you that I…" he hesitates. "I can't find a way to love Inoue, s-she can't even protect herself," he says no more, so my fists are ready to knock some sense into him.
"Don't you dare-" my yelling is cut off when Orihime comes tumbling out from behind wall. I look down at her surprised but it turns to sorrow when I think that she may have heard me and Ichigo's conversation. She gets up off the concrete and starts to walk away.
"Inoue..." Ichigo whispers. His eyes look like he might have been the kid who broke his mother's favorite vase.
"Kurosaki-kun," Orihime says smiling, but I can see her eyes going puffy. "I was looking for something that I had forgotten when we were eating lunch up here earlier, but it must no be here."
She's lying, I can tell it by the look on her face.
"Hime…" I whisper.
"If you guys were talking about something important then I should go," she says then turns back around heading for the door again. "Bye, see you guys tomorrow," she calls and then is gone. I can here the thumps of her steps as she runs down the stairs.
Orihime is one of those girls who thinks every one in the world can have goodness in their heart. I'd like to say that is a good quality, but in times this you can't think that. She try's to find the thing that could show a persons kindness. Even if she some how gets hurt in the process.
I feel cold droplets of rain hit my skin. It starts slow but then speeds up as I am first to speak to Ichigo.
"How could you lie like that Ichigo," I asked him, my voice was calm. He was going to get it now. "You love her and now you won't even say it? What the hell is the matter with you?"
He turns to the gate and puts his long tanned fingers through the wire. "You wouldn't understand," he says.
I run to him and pull him down to meet my eyes by his shirt collar. He grunts and opens his eyes to meet mine. I give him a dirty look.
"So you're just going to let her walk away then," I yell in his face. "Are you just going to let her find someone else then? Your going to give up and tell her that you don't lover her because she's weak?"
I let his collar go, he starts to rub his neck. He looks down to me with a glare.
"I…" he trials off and my fist connects with his jaw. He slams into the roofs gate and falls to his knees. I step away from him, he doesn't look up.
"You want to know what going to happen once you let her go Ichigo," I tell him. "You're going to relies how much you need her, and you're going to see that you don't know what's good until it's gone!"
He stays on the ground not moving at all. I turn on my heel and leave to the first floor. At the bottom waits Rukia, she carry's a purple umbrella. She looks off to the end and watches a girl be saved from getting run over by a car. I pay no attention to the other people, only Rukia.
"You waited," I ask.
"Nope," she says still looking at the couple in the road. "Just got here myself, you talk to Ichigo?"
I sigh at her question. "Yea, and let me tell you now that he has to be the dumbest man on the face of this planet."
She finally looks at me with her big purple eyes. "I've met stupider." She gazes off to the distance but now there is nothing to look at but the rain that fogs up the view. The couple is gone and I have nothing more to say. We both go our separate ways and we don't look back.
The rain only hits the ground harder.
Yelling.
I hate it more than idiots. My parents do it all the time.
I see my father get ready to strike my mother, I run to block her from the impact. The hit stings my cheek and I can taste the metallic blood in my mouth. Father yells at me and slaps me again. I can hear my mother screaming for him to stop. They both don't see what happens next.
I get up and kick the old man in his groin. He bends over in pain, I grab my mothers hand and we leave the house in a dead out sprint. My swollen red cheeks feel better as the cold rain and chilling wind touches them. I run with my mothers hot hand in mine.
She doesn't ask where I'm taking her and I don't tell her. In my mind I'm thinking that Orihime will let us crash at her place for a few nights till we can go back to the house.
Besides, the old man will get so wasted he'll forget any of this ever happen.
He always does anyway.
We are about a block away from Orihime house and I let my mother rest. I lean against a light post and huff for air. My eyes hit a couple with black hair beneath another light post only a few feet away. They don't see me.
The mans glasses have a glare from the light. I see his eyes are blue, just like Uryu's.
They kiss and I feel myself brake. The girls hair is in a bun, just like the girl who he had cheated on me with.
Nemu-san.
"Do you love me, Uryu?"
"Yes."
He's not an idiot.
"You had sex with Ishida-kun Tatsuki!"
"I love him Hime, so it doesn't matter."
I gave him what he wanted the most from me.
"Does it feel good?"
He must not see my tears from the pain. It hurts. "Yes," I answer.
I loved him so much.
And in the end he cheated on me with some other girl.
So maybe he is an idiot in the end.
But it still hurts me.
I wasn't good enough.
I grab my mothers hand again and we run. They don't see us which makes my heart hurt even worse for some reason.
"Tatsuki, is something wrong?" my mother asks as we stop in front of Orihime's apartment at last.
"No," I answer. The conversation ends and I walk to the front door.
The rain hits my face and I can only hope it can hide the tears that begin to come out of my eyes.
Their all idiots and I hate them for it.
Tatsuki's P.O.V. end
