Previously: Orihime was a grandma and finds out she's married to chad. She has
a daughter and a grandson who was named after Sora.
Jūshirō: Lamenting Love
Orihime was happily munching on an apple as she made friendly conversation with the ship crew.
Annette tapped on her shoulder to inform her of her decision.
"I'm picking this time."
Annette felt as if there was an emotion Orihime was missing. Something tragic.
She knew that Orihime did not deserve this but she feels as if things will start to get rougher from now on, so this would help ease her into them.
"Okay."
A portal behind Orihime showed an image of her mourning over a figure.
Annette guessed this to be the next husband.
"You might not like this future."
Her face looked serious and this unnerved Orihime.
"Why not?"
Annette was starting to confuse her.
"Well the man you marry here..."
She mumbled the last word so Orihime could not hear her clearly.
"What?"
"You have to see it for yourself"
"Tell me what it is first."
Orhime protested. She sure was acting suspicious.
Annette nodded to the captain who turned course as she indicated.
"We're set to go."
An image of herself in front a gravestone appeared on the portal.
The gravestone read:
Here lies Jūshirō, a loving husband forever and ever.
Her mind had registered this fact and she stopped.
"Annette… why is he dead?"
"No clue, but you will know soon."
"I don't want to know, change the course now!"
She went straight for the captain's wheel but was blocked by Annette
"It's too late, the captain's already set course."
'I don't want to lose another important person of mine...'
A single tear fell down her cheek.
She doesn't want a future filled with pain.
As she crossed the portal she noticed Annette had a face full of guilt.
The TV was flicked on and the news channel came on.
After a few minutes of politics, the news reporter started to talk about something completely different.
"The former singer I.O was last seen yesterday in the graveyard laying down a bouquet of roses on an unknown grave, did she once have a past lover perhaps?"
The news reporter on the TV got on the girl's nerves. Lately, they keep gossiping about her.
"Mom, they're spreading rumors about you again."
Her frustration was evident in her tone of voice.
Orihime looked at the girl.
Her hair was black and her face looked familiar, Orihime pondered on who this Jūshirō could be and why he died.
"It's alright dear."
She reassured her with a calm voice and a small smile of her face.
The girl huffed before proceeding to turn off the TV and continued to walk to the kitchen
"Wow, you seem to be taking this seriously,"
Annette had already gotten out the book but this power that emanated from Orihime
meant that her reiatsu has now synched with hers.
Now Annette doesn't need the book.
With a click of her fingers the two were now able to find out his death without the book.
Orihime was stuck in the spirit world again.
"Kurosaki-kun and the others forgot me again,"
She sighed and looked around for any familiar faces.
There were none, only a never ending sea of people and the great white walls of the city.
"I know I'll just go to the shinigami headquarters."
She looked around and realised that she was lost.
She started to wander around and ask people for directions.
However, she did not seem to notice a group of people had started stalking her.
"Oh no, a dead end."
She turned around to try another direction and the sound of shuffling feet could be heard.
"Is someone there?"
"Well guys, I guess we don't need to hide anymore."
The bandits came out of their hiding spot and inched closely towards her.
"Say, would you like to have some fun?"
Without realising it, she had gotten herself trapped against the wall and the bandits.
One grabbed her shoulders and the others tied up her arms.
She tried to summon her fullbring but the training session she had with Rukia had exhausted her powers.
"Hold it right there guys,"
A shadow of a man was seen moving on the roofs of the wall and ran up to Orihime.
He got to them in a matter of seconds and already two of they had been knocked out.
"You know that type of behaviour is not tolerated here in Seretei."
His voice echoed deep into their minds, they knew exactly who this was.
"I-It's the thirteenth division captain!"
Panic ensued and Orihime was dropped by thugs.
"Run!"
Luckily, Ukitake managed to catch her and set her free, smiling politely while doing so.
"They're getting away, are you sure that's fine?"
"Yeah, it's only when they commit the act are they arrested."
He smiled at her once again and she smiled back.
"Thanks for helping me, I'm Orihime."
She smiled at him and stared directly at his brown eyes.
"Yeah I know about you already, I'm Jūshirō Ukitake."
"Well, Ukitake-san is there any way for me to show you my gratitude?"
"You don't have to be so formal, just call me Jūshirō and no, your smile is thanks enough."
Orihime felt as if her thanks weren't enough, so she decided to ask what his favourite food was from other people to keep it a secret.
Ukitake had led her to the portal and the two went their separate ways. Gathering the ingredients, she stayed up all night and the next day she came back with a bentou.
She asked around for him and she was led to the 13th division's station where she had given the bentou to Kiyone and Sentarō, who as usual argued who should give the object to said captain. They suspected this woman for trying to hog their captain but they did not press her any further after hearing her purpose of doing so.
"Shut up Kiyone, we all know I'm better at you at Kidō."
Sentarō just had to go there.
Well I'm a better sword fighter."
The fighting had begun.
The two were so wrapped up in arguing, whenever one answered back to another, that person's voice would increase in volume.
"Oh yeah?"
Sentarō was now pulling her hair.
"Yeah!"
Kiyone responded by biting on his leg.
At that exact time Ukitake came in. The noise coming from his two vice-captains
could be heard in many of the other divisions' headquarters and he had to do something.
"Guys, what's the matter now?"
"Captain/Captain."
"We brought you a present from that orange haired lady."
They held out the package, which was somehow in great condition, their scuffle managed not to damage the squishy package.
"From Orihime?"
He reached out to take and slowly opened the was the most scrumptious Ohagi he had ever seen.
He picked it up with a chopstick that appeared out of nowhere and placed it in his mouth.
Chewing on it slowly, he savoured the scrumptious flavour that blossomed forth with each mouthful and his eyes watered in pure satisfaction. It was the most amazing, sumptuous Ohagi he ever had.
It's sweet taste, crunchy texture and that explosion of tang was just way too great to pass up. Without realising it he had already finished the whole lot.
Outside the building Orihime was confused, where was that exit?
Somehow she had fallen through the roof of said building and yet again Ukitake caught her.
"Are you okay?"
It's as if he was meant to catch her every time she fell.
"I-I'm fine, thanks again."
Kiyone looked at Sentarō and the two had the exact same thought in their mind.
'So she's a rival ehh?'
Yet again after saving her she had brought him Ohagi and when she did so Sentarō and Kiyone ruined the map Ukitake made for Orihime. So whenever she came they tried to sabotage her plans but this only made the two grow closer.
Ukitake would always find a way to remedy the situation. One time they gave their captain
a package saying that it came from Orihime, what they had placed in it was the sourest Ohagi.
"This would go great with my sweet bean sauce."
He took the Ohagi and dipped it in a small bowl filled with the sauce.
The fifth sabotage was when Ukitake definitely happened to ask:
"What do you put in this that makes it so delicious?"
"My love."
The girl and the captain had blushed at this and his lieutenants who were eavesdropping had fallen to the ground in a comical fashion.
'Hah, we can't compete with a pure maiden's love.'
They came into the room with a white flag and looked defeated.
Kiyone distracted Ukitake while Sentarō whispered something in orihime's ear.
"He's all yours, but don't forget we won't forgive you if anything bad were to happen to him."
Orihime blushed at this and Ukitake cleared his throat.
"W-well, with that said, would you like to go out for dinner?"
The past few months the two grew closer together until one day Ukitake proposed to move in with her. He planned to propose as well and now was the time.
"You don't need to; we can always meet up whenever we're free."
"I want to,"
He cupped his hands against hers and kissed her softly.
"Will you marry me?"
Two rings glistened in the moonlight, and she gasped, taken aback by his sudden statement.
"Yes!"
He placed the ring on her finger and the two never left each other's side that night.
A huge uproar was caused by this and the search for a new captain was on.
After getting a gigai from Urahara the two had gotten married and at the wedding there were both human guests and ghost guests.
Captain Yamamoto gave his blessing and everyone congragulated the two.
However some felt it was too rushed for them to do this but nevertheless, were happy for them.
After 2 years of marriage, they had a daughter named Umi.
But one day Ukitake's illness had become dangerously close to taking his life.
"Jūshirō-kun what's wrong?"
Blood spattered with each heave of his chest and each breathe burned his lungs.
Orihime left Umi with the Kurosaki's to take him to Seretei.
There she was taken to the 4th division where Unohana told her something that shoocked her.
"His condition stabilised but he cannot stay in a gigai anymore nor can he come back to your world,"
This made Orihime freeze.
"It appears that he cannot survive without much spiritual power and the way his spiritual power is rapidly decreasing means that he is in great danger,"
"The only way we can save him is if someone was willing enough to relinquish their spiritual power to fix his illness... forever,"
The 4th and 12th division had worked together with a little persuasion in the past and over the past years they have made an operation which can fully cure a spirit of its problems but to use it, they must use another's spiritual power. But there's a drawback, it's not one hundred percent possible and all of the other's spiritual power must be used.
"I'll do it."
Unohana had gasped at this.
"But if you do you shall be stuck in the other world and you can never come back here, without spiritual power, one cannot reside in Sereitei."
She looked at her with utmost seriousness.
"Are you sure you understand the full consequences of this?"
Unohana was worried, the process could possibly fail and kill him while she would be stuck in the human world indefinitely.
"I don't care Unohana-san,"
"There's a chance it might not even work."
"Please just do it,"
She made her mind up; she didn't care if she could not come back if he wans't there.
"I'd rather disappear from this world than let him just die."
"I understand, the operation will begin shortly."
Orihime was strapped on a bed next to her husband and a large foreign apparatus connected the two. Her spiritual energy surged through her and into the equipment and to him.
"It hurts…"
Pain coursed throughout her veins and it was as if her blood exploded.
After the difficult operation Orihime felt drained. Unohana had her set down on the bed of her husband.
Ukitake still was not awake and she could see no signs of any movement. His spiritual energy
was still flat line.
"Jūshirō...kun, I hope you're still alive."
Her heart started beating louder, her head was constricted with pain and her body paralysed, Orihime slowly started to fade away.
Small yellow orbs of light emanated from her and her arm disappeared.
A small flicker and his spiritual energy spiked a little. She did not see this.
She closed her eyes and disappeared. The small clusters of those orbs slowly made their way up and her presence from the spriritual world disappeared.
Unohana rushed in after hearing he had woken up and she told him of what had happened.
"You can never come back to the other world now."
He kept silent, looking solemn while doing so. They were now unable to be together, to love one another and their daughter might not ever see him.
Orihime woke up in her bed.
She was back in earth.
Her tears dropped on the floor like broken shards of glass.
They pierced her heart and she never knew whether he had lived or survived.
Picking herself up, she went to the Kurosaki's and told them to keep her baby for a year, she had something to do.
After being scouted under the persona I.O she rose to fame, hoping that people in Seretei would catch wind of this and inform her husband.
But nothing happened.
She tried asking Ichigo and the others to find out but after returning they weren't able to find anything.
The new thirteenth captain had no clue and no one told him anything.
The year passed quickly and Orihime raised her child and she was struggling to juggle being a parent and a in the end she quit being a singer to raise Umi. Her child was now 16 and she still never knew who her father was.
Until one day Ichigo came back from Seireitei to tell her the good news.
"What?"
"Turns out he was still recuperating and now he he's finally back to normal."
"I'm so glad."
Tears of joy streamed down her face.
She took her child by the hand and they both went to Urahara's store.
Umi didn't seem fazed by everything Urahara told her.
She was already beginning to see spirits at the age of two
Yorouchi was about to take her to the Seretei when Orihime stopped them.
"Wait!"
Orihime had run to her house and back and handed her daughter an old stereo and a CD.
The songs she had sung as I.O was like her message to him. Filled with her love, longing and apology.
"Give your dad that, it'll explain everything."
After seeing her daughter off she walked back home slowly.
'Someday we'll meet again... Jūshirō-kun.'
Annette came back and took her and took the white sphere that appeared.
When Orihime came back she seemed more mature, Annette had a lot to tell her.
So what did you guys think? No Orihime wasn't popular over the world, only in Japan and she is not meant to be like some super lady.
This chapter was supposed to give her a reality check; she needs to take things more seriously.
Any suggestions for improvement should be given to me as a review or pm.
