Here's the next chapter where Orihime starts her training.

Chapter 4

The next day Captain Komamura took Orihime out onto an open field to begin the training and as he gripped the hilt of his sword he asked, "Are you ready to start, Orihime?"

Seeing Captain Komamura with such a serious look on his face sacred Orihime a bit as she gulped while she replied with, "Y-Yes, I'm ready."

"Good then let's begin!" Komamura shouted, as he pulled his sword out and began to run at Orihime.

Trying not to show any fear Orihime put both of her hands in front of her as she commanded, "I reject!"

After she had said this an orange triangle formed itself in front of her blocking Komamura's attack. And as his sword clashed with her shield he commented, "Good Orihime, but let's see how long you can keep that shield up if I were to do this!"

Captain Komamura then processed to push forward with his sword causing Orihime to go down to one knee. However, the young girl would not give up as she tried to stand back up and push back. But no matter how hard she would try Orihime could not push the furry Captain back at all. Her eyes then widen when she saw that Captain Komamura had used a flashstep which caused him to disappear for a moment, he then reappeared a few feet away from her. Orihime then lowered her arms which caused the shield to disappear as she stood there wondering what the Captain was up to.

"Orihime, now I want you to try and attack me." Komamura shouted, as he continued to stand there.

The high school girl nodded as she commanded, "Koten Zanshun!"

Tsubaki then flow towards Captain Komamura ready to go right through him. However, since Orihime didn't want to harm the Captain in any way he was able to block it...or at least he thought he had. But when Orihime looked at him she gasped when she saw that there was cut on his chest.

She then started to run towards him as she asked, "Captain Komamura, are you alright?"

She did not receive an answer from him though and when she saw him use another flashstep her eyes widen in surprise yet again. But suddenly a rather large shadow had engulfed and when she turned around her face was inches away from Komamura's sword as he said, "Orihime, it is not wrong to show compassion to your enemy. However, showing too compassion will lead to your downfall." He then lowered his face as he ended with, "Do you understand, Orihime?"

Orihime gulped as she lowered her head and answered with, "Yes, Captain Komamura I understand."

Captain Komamura then put away his sword as he said, "Good." He then started to walk away, but after walking a bit away he turned and looked over at Orihime as he added, "Orihime, are you coming?"

Rubbing the back of her head Orihime nodded as she replied, "Oh, right I'm coming Captain Komamura."

Orihime then ran up to Komamura and unbeknownst to either one of them Orihime had gently grabbed onto Komamura's hand as the two then walked back to the 7th division.

Later on that night in Karakura Town however, Ichigo was standing in the same grassy field where he had first run into Ulquiorra and Yammy. His mind continued to wander as he thought, "I wonder how Orihime is doing in the Soul Society. I'm sure that she's alright with Captain Komamura protecting her. But still-"

He was brought back to reality though when someone said, "I finally found you, Ichigo."

Surprised Ichigo turned to see Tatsuki glaring at him as he asked, "Tatsuki, w-why are you here?"

"I'm here to find out where Orihime is and why your wearing that black outfit." Tatsuki shot back, as she walked towards the orange haired soul reaper.

Ichigo looked away as he replied, "I thought I told you not to worry about Orihime."

In response to that comment Tatsuki responded by slapping him across the face as she shouted, "How can I not worry? Ever single time those odd looking creatures show up you, Orihime, Chad, and even Uryƫ end up running off somewhere making me wonder where you guys have gone off to! So how do you think that, that makes me feel!"

"Tatsuki..." Ichigo let out, as he turned to look at her.

Before he could on any further though Tatsuki put her hand in front of his face as she pleaded as tears started to form from frustration, "Ichigo, if you're trying to keep this a secret then I promise to keep it." She then moved her hand away as she looked up at him and added, "So please Ichigo, just tell me what you're doing."

Ichigo stared at her for moment as the guilt started to build up as he sighed and replied, "Tatsuki, I'm...a Substitute Soul Reaper of the Soul Society where Orihime is staying at for her protection. And if you're wondering those creatures that you would see every so often are called Hollows. They try and devour a person's soul. And I'm one of many Soul Reapers who have to stop them and then perform a spell that then sends that deceased person's soul over to the Soul Society."

Tatsuki nodded as she responded with, "Thank you Ichigo, and now that I know the truth I want to ask. Is it alright if talk to Orihime tomorrow?"

Ichigo smiled as he said, "Sure I don't see why not."

Tatsuki's smile grew a little bigger as she kissed him on the cheek and then ran off as Ichigo asked, "Hey, w-what was that for?"

Tatsuki didn't respond and as she continued to run home she blushed as she thought, "I-I can't believe I just did that."

Well, this ends another chapter and I know that I forgot to have Tatsuki mention Rukia. But no worries since she'll find out that Rukia is a Soul Reaper in the next chapter. So the update will mostly likely be up either tomorrow or Sunday.
