The Orphan

Chapter 7: Miracles and Disasters

After what Toshiro said to Orihime, about Ichigo's feelings toward her, she couldn't stop thinking of him. It was time to go back to school and Orihime was excited to see him again. Her alarm went off. She groaned and angerly looked at her alarm clock. It was 6:30 in the morning. She didn't feel like getting up. Then she realized something...it's a Monday...it's time for school! And that means Ichigo! She smiled and shuts her alarm clock off and quickly gets out of bed. She wanted to look good today. She went into her bathroom, straightened her hair, and did her make-up. She slipped on a pair of grey skinnyjeans with a form-fitting blue t-shirt with a white long-sleeve jacket on. She rolled up the sleeves to her elbows and puts in the blue hair-pins behind her ears. She puts on some Converses and headed out.

Ichigo fixed his hair in the mirror. He was already completely dressed in white skinnyjeans with a black chain hanging down and he wore a grey button-up, short-sleeve shirt that was slightly un-buttoned to show a little of his peach chest.

"Yo, you ready yet, Ichigo?" A voice come from behind the bathroom door. Oh yeah...Ichigo forgot that Toshiro was also an orphan and they shared a dorm together.

"Yeah, you came in now Toshiro." Ichigo said. The door opened and Toshiro came in, looking good. He wore blue skinnyjeans with white wrinkles in it with a grey studded belt around his waist. He also had a white form-fitting, button-up t-shirt and a red scarf laid lightly around his neck.

"Nice outfit, dude." Ichigo commented. Toshiro looked down at himself.

"Ariagto. Same to you...dude." Toshiro said. Ichigo smirked.

"You ready for school?" Toshiro asked.

"Hai. I just need to get my book bag then I am ready to go. What about you?" Ichigo said.

"I've been done, actually. You've been in the bathroom for 15 minutes, ya know." Toshiro said, a little anger in his voice.

"So?" Ichigo said.

"We're late because of you." Toshiro said, his voice deep in irritation. Ichigo froze and he looked at his friend.

"You've got to be joking?" He said. Toshiro shook his head no. Ichigo looked at the watch on his wrist. It was almost 7 o'clock. The bus already left. "Oh come on! That means we have to get a ride with someone!" Ichigo complained.

"Luckily, I know someone who can drive." Toshiro said. Ichigo looked at him.

"Who?" He said. The corner of Toshiro's mouth curved into a sly smile and he held up a pair of keys with Ford Mustang imprinted on it.

"Me." He said. Ichigo smirked. Toshiro can drive but Ichigo has never seen his car.

"Let's go then." Ichigo said.

"Yeah." Toshiro said and they headed outside to Toshiro's car. His car was the new Ford Mustang GT [in the year 2010]. It was solid white with blue flames that fadded into black.

"Whaddaya think?" Toshiro said and Ichigo ran his hand over the smooth car.

"It's amazing. Who did the pain job? Where did you get this baby?" Ichigo said, amazed.

"I did the pain job and I built it." Toshiro said. Ichigo looked up at him.

"Are you serious?" Ichigo smiled.

"No chiz." Toshiro said. Ichigo chuckled.

"And watch." Toshiro pressed a button and the door went up. "Scissor-doors." He said.

"That is so sugoi!" Ichigo looked at his watch. "I think we shoud hurry!" He said.

Luckily, Ichigo and Toshiro got to school just in time, 5 minutes before the first bell rang.

"You're lucky we made it in time." Toshiro said. "Or else you would of been dead." Ichigo chuckled.

"Gomenesai." He said. Momo spotted them and waved them over.

"Good morning, Shiro-chan!" She said, giving him a warm welcoming hug.

"Mornin'." He said and hugged her back. Ichigo looked around to see if he could find Orihime.

"If you're looking for Orihime, she's at her locker. Locker number 48." Momo said. Ichigo looked at him and before he could open his mouth to say his thanks, the couple shared a 'good morning kiss' that soon turned out to be a make-out session. Ichigo wrinkled his nose.

"Gross." He said.

"Ichigo." Said someone cheerfully behind him. Ichigo turned around to find Orihime standing behind him. She smiled politely at him.

"Oh, hi Orihime." He said.

"Hey, looks like we got a new couple in the school!" Someone called. Ichigo and Orihime look behind her. Renji stood there with Rukia at his side.

"We're not a couple, Porkepine." Ichigo said. Once Ichigo said 'porkepine', Renji got a little mad.

"Not yet you guys aren't." Rukia said. Orihime's cheek swent into a light red color.

"YOU LITTLE!" Renji yelled, surprising the 3 of them. "I TOLD YOU TO NEVER CALL ME PORKEPINE!" Renji charged. Ichigo groaned. He honestly didn't feel like fighting today. It's a Monday. He tries to be calm on Monday's. But it sometimes never works out.

"Renji! Knock it off!" Orihime said, stepping forward. Ichigo looked at her. Renji lifted his hand, putting it on the side of her head, and shoving her away. Her books and papers went everywhere and she slammed into the wall, getting knocked out cold.

"Orihime!" Ichigo said. Renji grabbed a fist full of Ichigo's shirt.

"I warned you, orphan! Don't EVER call me porkepine!" Renji said. Ichigo looks at Renji, with the most hateful look in his eyes. Renji's eyes went wide. Ichigo was going to turn Renji's day into a living hell.

"I can not believe you just did that!" Ichigo yelled and shoved him. Renji lands on his buttom. Ichigo towered over him, looking more mad than ever.

"Renji, you seriously had no reason to do that to Orihime." Rukia said and walked over to Orihime to see if she was okay.

"Now, you're gonna pay." Ichigo said, slapping his fist to his palm. Renji stood and ran off. Ichigo was about to go after him until he heard Orihime's voice.

"Don't." She said. Ichigo froze and he looked at her. Her grey eyes looking his brown ones. She looked fine. But it still didn't calm his rage.

"Orihime, I need to crush him! I don't know what else that will calm me down." Ichigo said, through gritted teeth. Orihime staggered to her feet and walked over to him. She cupped his face in her hands and puts her forehead to his.

"Not even me?" She whispered. He stared at her, his eyes wide a little. Just her touch made him calm down a little.

Ichigo stayed silent and got lost in her eyes to not even notice that he was leaning in, his eyes slowly closing. Orihime closer her eyes, her hands sliding down to his chest. She loved Ichigo's source of life, his heart. She loved the way it beated slowly, with a peaceful rhythem, in his chest. Finally, the distance between their lips disappeared. He slipped on hand on her back and the other on her lower back, pulling her closer to him.

"Aww...kawaii." Momo said. Ichigo smiled a little against Orihime's lips.

"Let's leave them alone." Toshiro said.

"Hai. We have Earth Science first, nee?" Momo asked.

"Hai. Ichigo, Orihime, you guys got 2 minutes until the bell rings." Toshiro said and the couple walked to Earth Science. Ichigo and Orihime parted for air and smiled at eachother.

"What do you have first?" She asked.

"Academic in the Library. You?" He replied.

"Same here." She said. He un-wrapped his arms and took her hand in his, their finger intertwining with eachother.

"Then let's go." He said. She smiled and nodded. They walked down the hall, hand-in-hand and full of joy. Ichigo finally had his first kiss and so did Orihime. And bbooyy did they feel good!

It was the end of the day and instead of riding the bus, Ichigo and Orihime walked to the Orphan Center. Their hands were joined as they walked down the sidewalk.

"We should go out sometime." Ichigo said.

"Like out on a date?" She said. Ichigo smiled and looked up at the clear, blue sky.

"Yeah. I mean, it'd be fun, nee?" He said. Orihime also smiled.

"Of course it would. I'd be with you." She said and cuddle closer to him, her head resting on his shoulder. He smiled.

"Kawaii." He said. She giggled. Suddenly, 4 guys stepped out in front of the happy couple, who stopped dead in their tracks.

"My, my. What a pretty lookin' lady." One said. Orihime hid behind Ichigo.

"You're not getting ANYWHERE near her." Ichigo said, protective.

"Oh? Is that so? Well, why's that?" Another one said.

"Because she is mine. And she is not yours. She never will be. Now back off or else." Ichigo warned.

"My, my. We got a persistent one, eh?" The same person said and stepped forward. "My name is Shiro Kyoka." He said. Another stepped forward.

"I am Chad Mouyanwa." Chad said.

"You can call me Jack Mouchin." Jack said.

"And I am Aizen Sosuke. Please to meet you." Aizen said.

"I honestly do not care about what your names are! What the hell do you want?" Ichigo said. Orihime gripped his shirt.

"I think that's obvious." Aizen said.

"Well too bad. She's not up for auction." Ichigo said, fists clenching.

"Oh? Well, then I guess you were right, Chad." Aizen said.

"Of course I am. I told you he wasn't just gonna hand her over." Chad said.

"I know, I know." Aizen said.

"Looks like we're gonna have ta use force, nee?" Jack said, smirking.

"Looks like it." Shiro said. Aizen stepped forward, grabbing a bat.

"This is your only warning, boy. Hand her over and no harm shall be done." Aizen said. Ichigo furrowed his eyebrows in hatred and squinted his eyes. Not in a million years.

"No." He said.

"Hmm. Well then, let's do this then." Shiro said.

"We warned you." Aizen said.

"Orihime, run now." Ichigo said.

"But, Ichigo." She said.

"Oh, so your name is Ichigo? From the Great Kurosaki Disaster? Hm. I can't believe you are alive." Jack said.

"You're supposed to be dead." Shiro said.

"Hm. Looks like your plan didn't work." Aizen said. Plan? What plan?

"What do you mean by 'plan'?" Ichigo said.

"Chad had a random idea of tearing a family apart, piece by piece by jagged piece." Shiro said.

"So, he heard about the Great Kurosaki Family and decided he wanted to target them. He knew it wasn't gonna be easy but the plan was a success. Well, sort of. You're still alive." Aizen said. Ichigo got REALLY mad.

"You killed my family?" He yelled.

"You got that right." Chad said. Ichigo got mad and suddenly full of rage.

"I-Ichigo..." Orihime whispered.

"You're so dead to me!" Ichigo yelled.

"Oh? Striked a nerve did I?" Chad said. Aizen suddenly charged and went to punch Ichigo but he easily dodged it and threw Aizen to the ground.

"You have got to be kidding me." Ichigo turned. "Is that the best you got?" He said.

"Look again." Shiro said, pointing. Ichigo turned. Then he got hit in the head with a baseball bat. He slammed to the ground.

"Ichigo!" Orihime cried. Aizen grabbed her. "No! Get away from me!" She cried.

"Get...away...from her." Ichigo said, his vision blurring.

"Make me, Kurosaki." Aizen said, smirking before Ichigo blacked out.
