The Orphan
Chapter 6: Truth
Orihime laid on her bully on her bed, writing in her journal on a beautiful sunday morning. Her orange hair was brought back in a smooth ponytail, her bangs curled behind her ears blue flower hairpins. She wore a white spagetti-strap with a small grey jacket over her shoulders with tight blue skinnyjeans that fit her legs perfectly. She had tan flipflops on.
Dear Diary,
Yesterday was an exciting day but one of the most scariest ones yet. I found out why Ichigo has been so mean. Turned out, his little brother died in the most bloodiest disaster in the history of Tokyo; The Great Kurosaki Disaster. I was completly shocked and devestated. I never knew the pain he faced, watching his parents and his little brother get slaughtered infront of him. It happened years ago though. And looked how he has grown. I admit, he is kind of cute. His unusually orange, spikey hair makes me notice him easily. His eyes just tug at my heart. And the look he always has in his eyes, have so much emotions; anger, rage...but the one that stands out the most, is sadness. He's been alone all of his life and people didn't take him seriously. They mistreated him. So that's why I'm not gonna harm him. No way. He doesn't need to suffer like this. I need to let him know that he's not alone in this dark world. I need to let him know that I will be there for him...no matter what.
He knows that I know the reason why he is so cold. He didn't seem mad though. He seemed...a little releaved. I guess that he was glad that I know and wanted to help him pull through. But I haven't been able to forget yesterday. He kissed me on the cheek before I left his house. My heart raced after that and now I can't help but think...what it would be like...if we ACTUALLY did kiss. I wonder what it would feel like to have my first kiss [does a kiss on the cheek count? I'm thinking maybe not. Good try though.]? But I don't even know why he did that or if he kind of feels the same why I do. I think that one day, when I have the courage, I'll confront him about my feelings. I need and want to hear his response.
~Love,
A puzzled, yet happy, Orihime Inoue 02-10-10 11:02 A.M.
Orihime closed her diary and laid onto her back. She stared at the white ceiling. A knock was on her door. She turned her head before getting up. She walked over to the door and opened it up.
"Oh, hey Toshiro." She said. Toshiro stood before her. He wore a white skinnyjeans with a single, silver chain handing down the side of his left leg. He also had knee-high white converses on. He had a Bleach wrist band on, with the symbol of the 10th Division. HIS division [shh, it's a secret]. He had a black shirt on with a short, sleeved white button-up jacket on and his hands were stuffed into the pockets of his skinnyjeans. His green-ish blue eyes were lightly outlined in eyeliner. And his hair was still spikey.
"Konichiwa. May I come in?" He asked. Orihime moved aside and Toshiro walked in.
"Nice dorm." He commented, looking around. Orihime shuts the door.
"Arigato. I decorated it myself. So why are you here anyway?" She asked and sat down on a chair. Toshiro sat down on her bed.
"It's a mission I need to complete." He said, sounding a little formal.
"Nani?" She said.
"Well, yesterday, Ichigo wanted me to confront you about something. He couldn't do it himself because he's not so good with girls. So, he wanted me to do it." He said. She stared at him, waiting for him to continue. "He said that after you left his house, he had this strange feeling. He said that his heart pounding or something like that...But...he wants to know what you think of him." Toshiro said, a little awkward. She shockingly stared at him. "Would you please stop staring at me? It doesn't help the fact that it's alreayd awkward enough!" He said.
"Oh, gomenesai." She said and looked away." He wants to know...what I think of him?" She said. Toshiro nodded. "...Well...to be honest..he's an asshole." She said. Toshiro shurgged.
"I've heard that one before." He said. She folded her arms across her chest.
"And he's a stuck-up, know-it-all." She continued. He stared at her, eyebrow raised. He had a look on his face that said 'Are you finished with insults?'. "But...he's actually a really sweet guy." She said. He raised both eyebrows in a little shock. "I talked to him yesterday and he seemed like a whole different person. He was a guy that I actually enjoyed being around." She said.
"Yeah, that's many things that people never see or care about." Toshiro said and rubbed his arm. "I see it though. That's because I actually have the guts to know him. And to be honest..." He said.
"He's the most realistic person I have ever met." They both said at the same time. They both stared at eachother. She laughs and he chuckled softly.
"Well, tell him the news. And ask him if he'd like to hang out sometime." She said. Toshiro nods and stood. "Oh, here." She wrote her number down on a piece of notebook pad paper. She rips it out and hands it to him. He took it and looks at it. 1-315-520-5599 was written on the paper.
"You're number?" He said, eyebrow raised.
"Give it to him incase he wants to hang out. And, if you want, you can add it, too." She said and smiled politely. She stared at her with curious eyes before folding it up and putting it in his back pocket.
"I'll make sure I'll give it to him." He said and headed for the door. She spun around in her chair.
"Thanks again! Ja ne!" She said.
"Ja ne." He said, opening the door and leaving, shutting the door behind him. She smiled and laid back down on her bed. She opened her diary back up and started to write again.
Dear Diary,
Toshiro Hitsugaya was just over. He asked me what I thought about Ichigo. I, at first, said that he was an asshole and a stuck-up brat. But then I said that he was really sweet. I enjoyed being around him. It was like he was a different person. And I like that side of him. And so did Toshiro. Afterall, Toshiro is a VERY nice guy [he's kinda cute too. NOW I KNOW WHY MOMO IS INLOVE WITH HIM O.O ] and he is the only one that Ichigo can rely on. They've been best friends who God knows how long.
My birthday is tomorrow and I hope it's a good birthday *smiles* I hope Ichigo and I will hang out. XD IT'D BE SOOOO SUGOI!
Anyway, ja ne. I need a nap. Last night was ROUGH. STUPID NEIGHBORS! They are so loud. I seriously need some sleep *yawns* I write again tomorrow.
~Love,
A tired and restless Orihime Inoue
Orihime shut her diary and sets it on the small desk besides her bed. She laid down under her pokka-dotted comforter and rested her head on her soft pillow. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
