Chapter 3: Hidden Feelings and New Attitudes

Ichigo laid on his bed staring at his ceiling Nel and Rukia asleep on each side of him. He thought back to when Nel had convinced Rukia to sleep with them a week ago. To say she was uncomfortable would be an understatement. She slept so close to the wall she could become part of it. The substitute soul reaper could tell having Nel around had Rukia loosening up a lot. Now she slept cuddled under Ichigo just like Nel did, and even Kon changed a bit he was still a perv but only with Nel. Ichigo still didn't know why she let him maybe she just likes the attention he didn't know.

But the real reason he was awake was because of Orihime. It had been three weeks since they talked on the way home that day, and the next day when he wanted to continue the talk she didn't come to school. Then a week passed, then a two weeks, and now its been three weeks but still no Orihime. He also notice Yoruichi hadn't been around since then as well but that was common for her. He just hoped something didn't happen to her again he didn't wanna go through another lost like Karin.

The young man thought back to the girls currently sleeping next to him. He was kinda getting use to sleeping with them he actually looked forward to being with them after school. Maybe asking one of them out wouldn't be so bad thinking about Tatsuki's suggestion. He sighed quietly as he closed his eyes and began drift into the slumbering world.

Kisuke stared at the visage in front of him its white hollow mask had two red featherlike markings on each cheek, one above each eye, and two thin lines starting from the top of the mask that traveled down through the eyes to the bottom. Yellow and black eyes stared back before its mask broke away and returned to its previous human form.

"So what do you think? Does it all suit you like I think it does?" Kisuke asked.

The person he questioned just scowled at him before giving him a reply. "Go to hell… and yea it does suit me. You know if the soul society knew what you did they'd come after you." Said the person sheathing the sword they held or actually their zanpaktou.

"He's not worried he's done worst than creating a zanpaktou and a replica of Ichigo's soul badge." Yoruichi said walking over to them.

"So since your training is done what do you plan to do now Orihime?" Kisuke asked sheathing Benihime.

Said girl looked at him before smiling evilly. "Oh nothing just gonna cause a little trouble for a certain strawberry Shinigami." She said before walking away going to get ready for school tomorrow.

Yoruichi felt a cold chill as those words left her lips as did Kisuke they were just good at hiding it.

"Kisuke what the hell have you created?" The Goddess of flash asked her friend.

Kisuke face looked serious until his childish nature kicked. "I… don't what you're talking about hahaha! " Urahara laughed waving his fan at her.

~ The Next Day ~

Everyone was in the classroom waiting for school to start when she walked and sat at her desk. Nel's eyes widened as she went to greet her friend of at least she thought that was her friend. Nel stared at Orihime's attire said girl wore her shirt like Rangiku did when she came to the world of living, a replica of her hairclip was in each ear, her hair was done in a high ponytail, and her lips held a pink shine to them. She actually look quite pretty when she thought about it.

Everyone who knew Orihime jaws dropped when they saw her.

Before anyone could proceed with the questions and compliments the bell for school rang and everyone took their seats. As the teacher began her instructions Orihime let a dark smile grace her pink lips. "Time for the show to began" she thought.

Right when their teacher was giving out the first assignment she was rudely interrupted by Orihime.

"Hey Rukia you got your memory replacement thing on you don't you?" Orihime asked as she stood form her seat while reaching for her soul badge.

"Um… miss Inoue I'm trying to teach here." Her teacher pointed out.

"Tell someone who gives a damn kay." She told her teacher with a sickening sweet voice. "Well Rukia do you?" She asked again.

"Um… yea but why--" Orihime cut her off before she finish.

"Good I'd get it ready if I were you." Orihime said and she pressed her soul badge against her chest and transformed into her soul form.

You see when Urahara made her soul badge he made it so her real body would be contained inside it and not just lying around somewhere. So to her regular classmates Orihime had disappeared but to everyone else she was clear as day.

"What the…" Ichigo was confused as all hell right now.

"Kurosaki-kun you might wanna do the same unless you wanna get killed." Orihime told her friend as she held her zanpaktou.

"What are you talking about I'm not fighting you!" Ichigo yelled at her.

"Is that so maybe after this you'll do what I suggested." Orihime said before her reiatsu exploded outward sending everyone backwards.

"What the hell is going on! Ichigo just do it even I can tell this isn't the Orihime we knew! Its probably a hollow pretending to be her!" Uryu shouted at his friend. His eyes widened when Orihime appeared in front of him smiling darkly.

"Sorry Quincy Boy but I am Orihime." She told him as she felt Ichigo's reiatsu spike indicating he transformed.

"There I transformed are you hap--" Ichigo was suddenly kicked out the window.

"ICHIGO!!! ORIHIME WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!? Rukia yelled at the new Orihime.

"Hey onion head zip it." Orihime said and she jumped out the window.

"Was that a shunpo she did?" Chad asked looking at Uryu who was still a little shocked.

"I think it was…" Nel said as they watched Ichigo block Orihime sword strikes.

~ Down With Orihime and Ichigo ~

Orihime abruptly stopped her attacks and jumped back frowning at Ichigo.

"You're holding back…" She noticed.

"Of course why would I want to hurt you you're too important to me." Ichigo told her hoping to calm her down.

"Aww Kurosaki sweetie that's cute… but it won't stop me from kicking you ass. Reject, Koten Zanshun!" Orihime zanpaktou turned into a sword version of Tsubaki's attack. Ichigo could also see a faint orange glow around her then that when it hit him that was a release command.

"Orihime is that a…" He could only stare with his jaw dropped as did the rest of their friends.

"Yea its my zanpaktou pretty nifty don't you think hehehe." She laughed darkly. "But I guess this still won't make you go all out against me will it? You and everyone else still think I'm helpless I bet while I was gone you hoped nothing had happened to me again didn't you?" The girl questioned him.

Ichigo's thoughts from last night ran through his mind and guilt crossed his face as he looked down. Orihime looked down while her bangs shadowed her eyes and a sad smile crossed her lips.

"That's what I thought… just so you know after I beat you I don't want you to hate me… BANKAI!!!" With that her spirit energy swirl around her while her friends watched with wide eyes.

"Did… she say… BANKAI!!" Ichigo yelled.

Everyone else was in complete shock at their friend's transformation. The smoke cleared and Orihime stood in an outfit similar to Ichigo's Bankai one. The differences were small but noticeable the bottom of her haori wasn't tattered like his was, a long split ran up the back to her ass, her haori was also white unlike Ichigo's, instead of hakama pants she wore skin tight white leather pants, white heeled boots adorned her feet, the splits in the front were the same as Ichigo's though, since she wasn't wearing anything under her haori you could see the belly ring replica of her hairclip, and finally like her soul badge her Shun Shun Rikka was embroidered on the back of the haori.

"Koten Zanshun Kiria." Orihime whispered staring Ichigo in the eye as he activated his Bankai. "You're still holding back you bastard!" Orihime shouted.

"What else do you want me to do!? I think Bankai is considered not holding back…" Ichigo yelled back until he remember the last of his powers. "Hell no Orihime I'm not using that against you." Ichigo said seriously.

Back in the class room Rukia eyes were wide as plates. "She wants him to use his hollow mask on her." She said and everyone jerked their heads in her direction.

"But why?…" Nel asked sadly.

"I don't like this…" Uryu said looking back to the fight.

"Well maybe you just need a little encouragement Kurosaki-kun." Orihime said while she slowly pulled her hand over her face as her hollow mask formed with each passing second.

Everyone's eyes widen, Orihime laughed under her mask, and blood spilled from the shallow cut on Ichigo's arm. He looked up the sword that was slim like Zangetsu, but it was orange, almost see through, and no chain at the end.

"Still don't wanna fight me at full power Kurosaki-kun?" Orihime asked him the hollow edge in her voice sent shivers down his body. She smiled when he pulled his mask over his face and swung Zangetsu full force.

Having trained relentlessly with Kisuke and Yoruichi she blocked the swing with ease, and countered with an attack none of them seen her do before. It was like her attack with Tsubaki except it was smaller more precise and she fired it from her finger. Ichigo winced at the hole in his shoulder before he released his own counter.

"Getsuga Tenshou!!" He yelled firing the red and black energy at her.

Orihime simply held up her hand and blocked the powerful spirit energy attack with her Katen Kesshun.

"You won't beat me if you don't let go of your restraints Kurosaki-kun." Orihime told him.

Just as he was about to respond blood exploded from numerous cuts on his body and his mask shattered. He stared into Orihime's yellow and black eyes with his own wide ones as he fell to his knees.

"Hyaku Valkyrie no Sutoraiki." She whispered watching him fall.

Orihime used shunpo and disappeared from his field of vision. Then Ichigo heard the sound of swords meeting behind him and he turned to see Nel in her Espada outfit blocking a possible death blow.

"Allow me to show you what a true hollow is capable of… bitch." Nel said with a cold glare.
