The story is six months after his fight with Tsukishima's fight. He might have won the fight but his fight with was more than likely not over. His family and friends had returned to normal no longer thinking he was insane and returned to training as a full bringer.

Chapter Three
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"What's the matter Kurosaki, you can't keep up," Renji taunted the young teen. Ichigo grumbled it was his seventh try in his soul reaper form but it was much more difficult than he remembered. He didn't want to disappoint Orihime, she was cheering him on with a bright smile but then there was Rangiku. She had been stealing his time with Orihime away. It had been bad enough there were hollows and he wasn't out there fighting them with her. He felt useless and he didn't like it. He swung his Zanpakuto against Renji again trying to land one hit.
"Renji, it's my turn," Rukia high fived the red head out like as if they were some kind of tag team. "Get Ready, Ichigo?"
"Come on, midget…" Ichigo panted but then Orihime was in front of him. She had a smirk on her face as she unsheathed her Zanpakuto.
Oi, Kingy…she looks kind of hot looking at you like. Oh let me out, I want to fight her.
"So what's up Inoue?"
Orihime shrugged and her smirk seemed to be a bit devious, "You been developing a little too slowly since we were able to get your soul reaper self out. So I figured you can go against both me and Kuchiki-san. From the stories I have heard this is unlike you to develop this slowly. Urahara-san and Yoruichi-san have both told me you have been able to accomplish the unthinkable…so we're going to push you. Abarai-kun, you as well."
"Oi, oi…Orihime has gotten feisty," Rangiku said with a smirk as Yoruichi set down a large jug of Sake. Urahara quickly took it away, "Urahara-san…"
"We can celebrate later," Urahara said with a smile. "I think we'll have a fight of Bankais in a little bit. And we will have more reason to open this up!"
"WAIT, WAIT…. EEEEEEEEEE…what are you guys doing," Ichigo jumped back and his speed seemed to be coming back. He dodged attacks from all three of them but it wasn't tag team any more…it was an all-out attack on him. "Oi, Inoue…" Ichigo was holding up his sword above his head and saw Renji and Rukia coming after him, "Crap, this isn't fair…" He pushed Orihime away so he had enough to get out of the way of the older soul reapers.
"Urahara-san…" Orihime called out to him and he pulled out his Zanpakuto. He jumped up and joined the fight. "Rangiku-san, Yoruichi-san…"
"Oi, Inoue…are you trying to kill me," Ichigo asked as he was surrounded by six soul reapers. "Ah, hell…Inoue, you're evil…damn it…how do I keep up with all of them?"
"Ichigo, don't let your guard down…" Yoruichi came from behind and tickled him.
"Yoruichi-SAN!"
"Don't be a prude, Kurosaki…" Rangiku said as she thrusted her sword at him. He blocked it but had to quickly move out of the way of Urahara. "We're only having a bit of fun!"
"Kurosaki, put up a little bit of a challenge won't you," Urahara taunted.
"Damn it," Ichigo cursed as unknown to him his speed was picking up. His was able to lift his sword with ease and able to dodge attacks as they were being thrown at him. He didn't even notice his own spiritual pressure rising as the soul reapers were slowly taking their time examining him. He wasn't quite at his full potential yet but he was getting closer. He was almost at a comfortable level with his current form but only if he could stay in it without getting so tired.
He dodged another attack only to have Orihime's Zapakuto at his neck and Renji at his back, Rukia pointing the sword at his stomach. "Damn it…Tch…"
Urahara was laughing, "Let's take a break. It would seem Kurosaki will be ready in no time! Beisdes, we have school tomorrow! So you need to be off…Kuchiki-san and Renji-san, I need to talk to you for a bit."
Orihime nodded and got into her gigai. Ichigo got into his body and the two left the shop. Urahara had a sly look on his face and the others looked at him confused, "Give them some time alone. I could tell Kurosaki wanted to have some alone time with Inoue-san."
Rangiku smiled, "So I did well then keeping her distracted this past week. I'm pretty happy with myself then."
"You only been keeping her distracted for a week and he acts like a lost puppy," Renji crossed his arms.
Urahara had a somber face and Yoruichi knew what he was going to say, well at least an idea. "Think about it Abarai-san. Orihime was taken away from him by death and for six months he didn't even know if she was in soul society. He didn't even know she had her memories of him and her life here in the living world. We've only been training for little over a week with him and on a subconscious level I think he is holding back."
"He wants as much time with her as possible," Yoruichi said with a soft smile. "He knows about the orders that you brought, Rangiku, that she is to return to soul society after her high school graduation only if Ichigo has reclaimed his bankai…unless he learns his bankai after they graduation high school the moment he can hold onto his bankai form he is just to train on his own whichever way happens. She was originally told she would be able to stay her for a long period of time."
"It's almost bittersweet, to have her back in his life only to force her to leave him again," Rangiku said with a sad face. "It's hard to lose the one you love more than once…" Rangiku thought sadly of someone she had lost close to her. "Orihime might not show it but she's hurting as well but she also is torn because she wants him to do well…she doesn't like seeing him feel like he is helpless."
"She always thinks of others before herself but…but…" Rukia closed her eyes, "Thinking of herself is hurting her and it is hurting Ichigo. There is no happy ending no matter how you look at it."
"I have a feeling, Ichigo won't be letting her go a second time," Renji said smiling and everyone looked at him. He was watching Ichigo helping Orihime out of the training grounds. "He has become more protective over her than ever. Just yesterday his father was joking around about her appearance and he lost his temper faster than normal. When they were at school, I've seen him holding her hand. She doesn't seem to mind it…"
Rukia smiled, "The day before they went to the river bank and he had his arm around her. She had her head rested on his shoulder…"
"HUH!"/"WHAT!"/"TELL ME MORE!"
"We were on orders to observe their behavior closely, that's why we aren't in school with them." Rukia answered, "To see what their connection is. Even before all of this when we first met, there was an unspeakable bond between them. Come to think of it, Orihime is the only girl he would offer to take care…offer to walk her home, hold his hand out to her to help her up…any time she was attacked or going to be hurt he would protect without a second thought. She would willingly heal him no matter what he looked like…"
"Say, Rukia…how much of this did you notice before we got you to come back to soul society," Renji asked with an arched eyebrow.
"She is the glue that keeps the group together," Rukia said with a smile. "Ichigo is the hot headed leader but Inoue…Inoue is what keeps them together…I don't know how they were able to keep it together but I guess the others thought it would honor her memory to stay together. Ichigo…Ichigo…can't stand unless his center is there with him. That idiot doesn't realize he's been in love with her for so long…"
"Well, when head captain told us she was a traitor that one time, I saw him fall to pieces. It wasn't like the time when we took you back to Soul Society…it was different. His heart, his heart was gone the moment they told him no…told him he wasn't allowed to go after her." Renji sighed, "I kinda feel bad for that idiot…but what can he do…"
"There isn't much he can do until he accepts his own feelings." Urahara said as they stood in silence hoping that Ichigo would not lose his heart for the second time.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"We shouldn't have gotten ice cream," Orihime said as she was eating the ice cream that Ichigo had just bought her. She smiled up at him as she took another spoonful but before it could reach her mouth Ichigo took a hold of her hand and put the spoon in his mouth. Orihime could eat enough sweets for three people so he had been stealing a few bites here and there. "Kurosaki-kun…"
Orihime pouted as her hand was returned to her and Ichigo just laughed, "Don't give me that look. I paid for it so I should be entitled to a few bites."
Orihime stuck out her tongue and Ichigo smiled, "Says you…"
Ichigo chuckled as he put an arm around her shoulders and she leaned into him naturally. It had been three weeks since his training went underway. The two of them had been getting closer and thankfully Rangiku was called back to soul society…which meant no teasing from her and stealing Orihime away all the time to corrupt the innocent girl. It was an afternoon off for the both of them as they walked around in the park. If you were to go up to them and ask if they were a couple they would tell you no but to everyone's eyes they were the opposite. They were a young couple in love and move around as if they were naturally fitted together.
Ichigo was about ready to try to steal another bite when Orihime shoved the spoon into his mouth. She placed the ice cream cup into his hands and ran off. She went over to a swing set and he smiled. He saw she had already finished the ice cream but given him the last bite. He threw the trash away in a nearby trash can and went to sit on the open swing next to her. She moved on the swing with a carefree smile on her lips and Ichigo couldn't help but smile. She jumped off and landed perfectly on her feet. She held out her hand to him, he gladly took it but instead he pulled her into his lap. He gently moved the swing as they sat there comfortably.
Baka, so you act like a damn Romeo and you still haven't kissed her? I mean come on that stupid stuffed animal is right…what's taking you so long?
You know she has to go back to Soul Society if I learn my Bankai…
Tch, so what you are purposely not training to your full potential just because you want to keep her with you? Don't you think she sees through?
Even if she does, she's allowing me to go at a slower pace and I'm fine with that. I lost her for six months and I'm going to lose her again…with the chances of her being gone out of my reach…
Idiot…even if you act on your feelings…doesn't mean that it will speed up your training…
Since when are you nice to me?
I am…you…if you want to protect her…I want to protect her…if you want her near you…I want her near me…if you lose her…I lose her too…don't you get it…don't you see moron…
"Inoue…"
"Hmmm…"
"Never mind, it's nothing…"
Orihime stood up and looked at his hooded eyes, "Kurosaki-kun, what's bothering you?"
Ichigo just chuckled, "It's nothing. Let's get back to the house before Yuzu gets worried. She doesn't like it when we're late for dinner." He stood up and began walking away with his hands in his pockets, I can't be selfish…she has to return to soul society. I can't send her back with her knowing how I feel for her is more than just a friend. She would feel guilty and want to stay. I can't do that to her…I don't want her to have another regret… "Oi…Inoue…what was your one regret?"
"Why are you asking that all of the sudden," Orihime asked looking at him confused.
"Well, I've gotten my soul reaper powers back just not my bankai…so that means I've fulfilled my part of the deal right?" Ichigo asked as they walked side by side.
"It's embarrassing," Orihime said flushed and Ichigo was now curious.
"Inoue…" Ichigo asked as he stood in front of her, "We had a deal…I want to know."
"I didn't get my first kiss," Orihime said looking down at the ground. She was still red and now she was playing with her fingers. "Ummm…with someone special…"
First kiss huh? With someone special…that damn lucky bastard, Ichigo had a scowl on his face. Orihime looked up from the corner of her eyes, Who had her affection so? Damn it… Ichigo sighed, "I guess I should help you find this someone special so you can lay one on him…"
"EHHHH! Kurosaki-kun," Orihime waved her arms. She was blushing even more, "We don't have to fulfill that right now…"
Ichigo arched his eyebrow, "Well sooner we get it done, then it will be one less worry I have to worry about. So is it someone I know?" Baka, are you stupid? It's you?
No…if it was she would've said it.
Damn it, make the rain stop idiot! What the hell, it's flooding! STUPID! Ugh! Why are you depressed? Just kiss her!
"Ummm….I guess you could say that…" Orihime sighed and looked up at him. Just do it Orihime, take Rangiku-san's advice. If he doesn't return your feelings at least you have no regret and you get to go back to soul society knowing you tried. She grabbed the front of his shirt. Ichigo was flushed his hands were out of his pockets, She stood on her tip toes and his hands went on her waist. He leaned his face closer and met her lips. It was brief and they slowly broke apart but he cupped her face gently with his hand. "There you helped me get rid of my one regret…"
"Why me…I'm not special…"
"To me you are," Orihime said sweetly. "You're a very special to me Kurosaki-kun."
Thank you, you stupid prick, the rain has stopped. Hey stupid, see she likes you! Oh those lips were so soft! Idiot…you waited how long to kiss her? Huh? Oi, are you listening to me you dimwit? Stop staring at her eyes like that…just kiss her again…you know you want to! Moron, listen to me!
Ichigo wasn't paying attention his gaze was locked on the girl before him. She kissed him…well she initiated and he finished it. Rukia and Renji were watching from a higher location and they both smiled sadly. They didn't know how much further the relationship would develop after that point. Ichigo was a dense teenage male that didn't spend a lot of time making romantic relationships that his classmates did. Then again he only really had eyes for only one person this whole time and it was evident right now his heart was right in his arms.
"Say Renji…"
"Hmm?"
"We owe Karin money…"
"Damn, that little brat was right…his father is going to cry a maniac and talk to the poster of his wife."
Rukia laughed, "I bet you're right."
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
The two hadn't shared another kiss since then nor they did show their affection on display at school to a great extent but their friends could see something. They were seen together all the time and Tatsuki, Ishida, Chad, Keigo, and Mizuiro knew that something had changed between them. They would stand closer together and they would get lost in their own world together. She would help him with notes that he didn't get from spacing out during class.
"Is it just me or he smiles a lot more than he ever did before," Tatsuki crossed her arms. "I mean he still has that stupid scary face all the time but now he looks softer…"
"He is happier because Orihime is here with him," Chad entered his two cents.
Mizuiro sighed, "Then is he going to be like how he was when she was gone…when she leaves…"
"He'll probably fall into depression but not like before, this time he will be able to see her leave and knows she can come back some day," Ishida said sadly feeling bad for the pair.
"Either way it sucks," Tatsuki said and looked at the couple again. "She even seems more confident in herself…she's blushing like crazy when she's…" Everyone grew silent as Ichigo grabbed her hand. "Did…did he?" He was examining her hand because she had gotten a paper cut. "Ehhhh…that's not Ichigo…it has to be Kon!"
"No, that's Kurosaki," Ishida said pushing his glasses up on face. "It's his spiritual pressure."
Ichigo was looking at her hand and Orihime had a small blush on her cheeks. He smiled up at her and she smiled back. He slowly let go of her hand and Tatsuki watched with interest, "Ugh. He should just kiss her right now with the why he is staring at her."
Their moment was broken when they caught a sight of a soul reaper and a captain's cloak. Orihime knew it was for her she had a sinking feeling. She would have to quickly make it to the roof whens he had a chance without anyone behind. She didn't want anyone else to hear what was going to become of her. She closed her eyes and put a brave smile but she knew that Ichigo had caught a glimpse as well. His senses were in sharp shape but it was getting his other abilities back up to par…she knew he was holding back.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Captain Inoue…" Orihime turned around to see Toshiro Hitsugaya and his eyes didn't look like he had good news. "I apologize for calling you up here during your instruction time…however I have orders from the Head Captain."
"I see," Orihime said softly. "What are my orders?"
"Rukia Kuchiki and Renjia Abarai may remain until their patrol time is concluded and another soul reaper will take their place in helping with hollows and Ichigo Kurosaki's training," Toshiro spoke slowly. "You are to report back to Soul Society immediately after your graduation ceremony regardless of Ichigo Kurosaki's ability to regain his bankai."
"Understood," Orihime nodded but she turned quickly once the door to the roof opened with a loud slamming with Ichigo standing in the door way. Toshiro felt even more guilty after the all the stories his Vice-Captain told him. The woman might drive him crazy but she was a good vice-captain and friend. He looked the other way not wanting to meet Ichigo's gaze. Graduation was just two months away and now their time together had specific limit.
"I'll be on my way," Toshiro began to leave.
"Wait…Toshiro," Ichigo had his fists clenched. "Why is she being called back already? Wasn't her main concern was getting me to full capacity?"
"I do not know the reason she is being summoned, I was ordered to tell her what her new orders were," Toshiro didn't bothered to look back at Ichigo. He could feel his spiritual pressure was deeply hurt. It almost felt like it was all a game to dangle his happiness in front of him only to take it away. I think the head captain is testing them both but who am I to question the decisions from the head captain.
Ichigo was shaking, "Were you going to tell me Inoue?"
Orihime sighed, "I would have told you…"
"When, right before you had to leave?"
"What…"
"You were going to just leave me again like that night in the hospital…no word to me of what is going on. Just spring the news on me and just expect me to accept it?"
"What…no…"
"I can't believe this…don't…don't you…"
"Kurosaki-kun," Orihime looked at him shocked and she hugged him. "Kurosaki-kun, please…please…we don't know if this a forever change or not…"
"Inoue," Ichigo wrapped his arms around her. He felt bad for accusing her but his heart was torn. He held onto her taking in her scent. Toshiro saw the scene before him and he was saddened. He took his leave from the couple to let them be alone even though there were people down the stairs just below the door feeling for the substitute soul reaper.
"So she has to go no matter what…" Tatsuki said sadly. "Is this some kind of joke from that captain guy?"
"Ichigo is hurting isn't he," Keigo asked sadly. "This is probably worse than fighting those monsters for him." Keigo leaned his head back on the wall, "He always acts like he is so cool and not interested in girls and all of that."
Mizuiro nodded, "He is in love and it's going to slip through his fingers unless he does something about it. The question is will he or just let her go…"
"I don't think we will know until the time comes," Chad said as he walked up to the door to see the embracing pair. "Ichigo is still battling with his own inner thoughts. We have time to make sure this is a good memory for the two of them."
"What do you think we should," Ishida asked. "Please tell me not play match maker…"
"We should convince them to go out on a date and help create the mood!" Tatsuki wiggled her eyebrows.
"Eh…count me out!" Ishida blushed and Tatsuki got into his face.
"Not sex stupid, for them to have a romantic kiss! Here let's make a plan, to show them they still have time together and don't need to be sad! I mean you two have spiritual powers we can do something extra ordinary!"
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"What's going on…" Ichigo grumbled as he was standing in the park. It was pretty deserted and there was no sign of light. It was dark as the sun had set not too long ago and he put his hands in his pockets. He looked up to the sky and closed his eyes, Inoue is leaving soon…she has to leave right after graduation. I know shouldn't be here forever…get it together Ichigo….
So explain to me, why you haven't taken her to bed yet?
Shut up! I don't need you right now.
Tch, ok mister tough guy what are you going to do when she's gone?
Shut up…just shut up…I don't want her to go…don't you get it…I want her to stay…
"Kurosaki-kun," Orihime approached him looking at him confused. "Where is everyone else?"
Ichigo shrugged, "I don't know." The two looked around when there were lights everywhere. The park suddenly lit up and the two looked at each other. Why do I have a feeling this was a set up…damn it. Stupid friends…
Orihime laughed, "How pretty." Her eyes filled with wonder. Ichigo went over to Orihime thinking maybe this one time couldn't hurt. He took her hand into his own, "Kurosaki-kun?"
His fingers intertwined with hers and he smiled down at the auburn beauty. He traced her face softly with his other hand, "Inoue…" She looked at him confused, his eyes looked different there was some unspoken determination. She waited for him to finish whatever he wanted to say before she spoke. "I have a confession to make…"
"A confession?"
"I don't want you to go back to soul society, because that means you'll be out of my sight…out of my reach. I wouldn't be able to see you every day like this and like the way we were before…" He sighed, "I don't want to go back to that place again where you were gone for six months."
"Kurosaki-kun…"
"I want to get stronger, strong enough to know you aren't gone forever just not able to see you every day…I want to be able to see you off through that gate with no regrets…" Ichigo paused, "I want no regrets between us…" Ichigo kissed her and she was surprised. She closed her eyes and put her hands on chest. She had the shirt under her clenched fists. I love you…and I can't even tell you out loud…this will have to do for now. Their lips played with each other as the kiss wasn't rushed…it was almost sweet. If you were meet Ichigo on the street you would think he was some angry teenager but if you were to ask Orihime…she would tell you how kind of a man he really is. Someone that torments himself to do the right thing and is kinder than most men his age, he was strong, determined, and went after a goal when he saw it in his sights.
Tatsuki smiled as she walked away with the gang. They all felt like a job well done as the couple was lost in their kiss. However Tatsuki made sure to take a picture. The group left after Ishida shot off a special arrow and it sprinkled down around the couple making Tatsuki take another picture. She smiled at herself, So you both have a picture proof memory that this really happened between you two.
"No regrets between us?" Orihime asked as they pulled away from the kiss, "I guess we could do something to make these next few months filled with no regrets."
Ichigo placed his forehead against hers, "No Hime…no regrets…I want you to call me by my first name…at least when it's just the two of us…"
"I think I could do that, Ichigo-kun," Orihime said as he stole another kiss from her.
"I would like that Hime," Ichigo closed his eyes as he was holding her hands in his own. He was smiling, Even if it's for a few more months…I'm going to enjoy this time with her. I don't want to have any regrets. No regrets…I will be with her the best I can…and hopefully before she leaves I can tell her how I feel in words…
Orihime had a smile of her own, No regrets between us…this is going to be so much harder to leave. Why did I have to have such strong feelings for him? There is no turning back now…we won't be able to hide this from the others. I sense their presence slowly leaving our area. I should thank them for this…
"Let's go get something to eat," Ichigo said simply holding her hand. They walked out of the romantically lit park that their friends took the time to set up. Orihime nodded, "Do you feel like anything in particular?"
"You decide," Orihime said with a bright smile but their mood would be broke as a hollow showed up behind them. Their eyes narrowed and quickly got into their soul reaper forms. Both held their zanpakuto's ready and dashed towards the hollow effortlessly. Orihime went for the legs as Ichigo went from the jump and cut approach. "There are others coming out way…so much for a simple walk in the park…"
"Eh," Ichigo shrugged. "We don't have time for this…I'm hungry…"
Orihime laughed, "Well, then we should hurry and make sure they are out of our way…don't want to get between you and your meal."
"Let's go Hime!"
"Right!" Orihime closed her eyes, "Pierce him, Rikka…"
"Getsuga Tensho!"
Rukia and Renji appeared in the park to see all of the hollows that were purified. They saw Orihime and Ichigo smiling up at each other but what they didn't expect next was Ichigo to place a kiss so openly. "I guess we missed the fun."
"It would seem so, maybe we should let Ichigo do some of hollow fighting as well," Rukia stated. They watched as the couple entered their bodies and walked out of the park hand in hand. "It would seem we have a new development to send to the head captain."
"Why is he so interested in their relationship anyway," Renji asked.
Rukia shook her head, "I think it has to do with something Ichigo or to see if he'll go as far as his father did at one point."
"Eh? It comes down to that huh," Renji bowed his head with a sigh. "If he loves her enough to make some kind of drastic change…well…I guess we should report in."
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"So that ability of yours is kinda scary, Hime," Ichigo said as they couple walked arm in arm back to the Kurosaki residence.
"Oh you think so? Head Captain wanted me to develop more offensive attacks so I wasn't just a healer or defender," Orihime said titled her head to the side.
"Well it was like a hundred fast lights flying around it seemed like," Ichigo said as they continue to walk back to the clinic.
"It took a while to get used to," Orihime smiled softly. "Head captain kept on pushing me until I thought I would fall over from exhaustion but…it was worth it. I don't feel like the damsel in distress always needing to be saved."
"But I liked having you as my damsel," Ichigo teased and she stuck her tongue out at him. "Say Hime…"
"What is it?"
"It's nothing," Ichigo opened the door and Orihime pouted at him. He just chuckled until he got kicked in the stomach.
"YOU ARE LATE! DINNER WAS AT SEVEN! AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN CALL YOUR FAMILY TO LET THEM KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO BE LATE! WE HAD TO HEAR IT FROM RUKIA AND RENJI!"
"Stop your shouting out man," Ichigo glared up at his father. "Eh, Rukia and Renji…" He turned to see the waving pair on the couch. He then grabbed them both by the collars of their shirts. He dragged them upstairs leaving a confused Orihime at the entrance. He was clearly upset about something but it went from his father towards the soul reapers. She was curious to know what was going on and then she saw Karin walk up to her with a huge smile on her face.
"So…you and big brother a couple, hmmmmmm?"
"Karin-chan!" Orihime's face was flushed and Isshin was interested. He grabbed the girl's hands, "Kurosaki-san?"
"Did my delinquent son finally get a girlfriend! Oh Masaki, our son finally has grown a pair and found a beautiful lady to become his….AHHHHH!"
"You dirty old man!" Ichigo was heaving as him and his father got into another one of their fights. Orihime just watched confused, when did he get down the stairs so fast? Didn't he just go up to his room with Rukia and Renji? She didn't get time to wonder as Ichigo grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs. "None of you better be listening at the door!"
"Why is he so grumpy," Yuzu wondered.
Karin chuckled, "Because he finally got the courage to kiss her for the second time!"
"WHAT!"/ "When?"
"Oh honey, our son is growing up! Soon I will be a grandfather! We will have little grandchildren in the house soon!"
"Can it old man! Orihime is supposed to go back to soul society after graduation," Karin grumbled and Yuzu and Isshin both looked at the raven hair girl.
"That will hurt Nii-chan," Yuzu said sadly. "He will be heartbroken gain…"
"Well, I hope he takes this time to enjoy her company while it lasts. We should try our best to make sure Orihime has a good time here as well." Isshin smiled, "Don't worry, I don't think Ichigo is going to let her go twice…"
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Here is the update. See you next time! Oh what will happen with Ichigo and Orihime…just have to wait till next time!
