Hey everyone! I'm here with the 3rd chapter of Forced To Be Here. Please enjoy!

Chapter 3: Newfound Powers

One day after Orihime finished training, Ichigo came up to her.

"Urahara wants to see you," he told her.

"Alright," Orihime answered.

Ichigo took Orihime to Urahara's shop. (Stop! Just to let you know, Orihime already knows that Ichigo is a soul reaper, she knows about soul society, and all that. But, she doesn't know about the arrancars yet.) She had already been there numerous times to discuss battle strategies with her 'supernatural' friends. (Stop! Again! Also, Tatsuki knows absolutely nothing about the soul reaper stuff. Keep reading.)

When they arrived, Ichigo knocked on the door. It opened to reveal Tessai, Urahara's one of Urahara's assistants.

"Please come in. Mr. Urahara would like to speak with you, Orihime. Kurosaki, you may leave."

"Fine. Goodnight, Orihime." Ichigo left.

Orihime went inside and was led by Tessai to a room with a table and a few seats. In the room, she saw Urahara and Yuroichi. Tessai left, closing the door behind him.

Please sit, Ms. Inoue," Urahara told her.

"Okay." Orihime sat.

"We have something of importance to discuss with you, Orihime," Yuroichi started.

"Yes, it seems your reiatsu has been growing bigger ever since you started training," continued Urahara.

"We think that you might be able to develop some actual powers," said Yuroichi.

"Orihime, may we see your hairpins, please," Urahara asked.

Orihime reluctantly handed them over. They were a gift from her brother, Sora. After he died, he wore them everyday, in memory of him.

Urahara looked at the hairpins, turning them every which way.

"Orihime, did you know that there are powers that reside inside these hairpins?" Urahara asked.

Orihime thought about it. "Well, once when a hollow attacked me when no one else was around, some fairy-like creatures came out of them and told me how to use their powers." Orihime answered.

"Do you still remember how to use them?" Yuroichi asked.

"Um, I think so," Orihime said.

"Great! Come see us tomorrow, and Yuroichi will help you strengthen your powers," Urahara said.

Orihime left the shop and went home.

The next day, Orihime woke up around nine in the morning. It was Saturday, so they didn't have school. She got dressed and had breakfast. Then she went to Urahara's shop.

She knocked on the door. Tessai answered it.

"Ms. Inoue, please come inside."

Tessai led Orihime to the same room she was in yesterday. In the room she saw only Yuroichi.

"Orihime, I was expecting you."

"Hello, Yuroichi."

"Let's start your training. Follow me."

Orihime followed Yuroichi down the ladder to the underground training room.

"Can you release your powers, Orihime?"

"Baigon, Hinagiku, Lily, Tsubaki, Shuno, Ayame, come out!"

Orihime's hairpins disappeared, for they had turned into six fairy-like creatures.

"Now, Orihime, can you make their powers work?" said Yuroichi.

"Orihime, say Santen Kesshun and we'll form a shield!" Lily said.

"Santen Kesshun!" Orihime said.

Three of the fairies formed an orange shield.

"Next, say Koten Zanshun!"

Orihime said it and Tsubaki cut one of the rocks in the training ground in half.

"Last, say Soten Kisshun and direct it towards the split rock!"

Orihime did and the rock was restored to normal again.

"Very good, Orihime," said Yuroichi. "Let's keep practicing with your powers."

They practiced for the rest of the day.

"You've done well, Orihime. You can go home now." Yuroichi said.

Orihime went home. She was exhausted. She immediately went to bed.

Wow! I think that was my longest chapter yet! Anyways, next chapter, you can expect to see Ulquiorra. Until then! Please review!
