On My Mind

It was late. Too late. Ichigo didn't want to go home and disturb his family from their slumber. He looked into the bright blue eyes of the small black poodle he had in his arms. It was wide awake and full of energy as it ran around in a circle chasing its tail. He didn't understand why Rangiku would buy this puppy knowing that it couldn't enter soul society. She was its true owner not him. Even though he hated having to take care of the dog, he knew that it would liven up his household when he brought it home. His sisters would adore it, his father wouldn't mind, and Orihime would love it too. She loved animals.

Ichigo plopped down on the brown sofa that would serve as his bed for the night. He was staying over Chad's house. He hadn't hung out with Chad for over a week and felt that they needed some catching up to do. Also he didn't have anywhere else to go. Uryu left with his father to learn more about his family, Mizuiro was out of town, and Keigo had moved away. That only left him with Tatsuki, the Vizards clan, and Kisuke; and he had many reasons why he didn't want to stay with any of them.

Chad threw Ichigo a can of soda before plopping down on the small armchair next to him. They sat in silence for a while watching info commercials until there was a knock at the door.

"Who the hell could that be at a time like this?"

Ichigo sat up wanting to get a look at whoever it was at the door. Chad went over and opened it already knowing who it was. A tall woman with short black hair walked in and took off her shoes. She was beautiful, large grey eyes, freckles, and a smile that could brighten anyone's' day. She wore a white and black work uniform with a red tie hanging from the collar of her shirt. It was the uniform of a bartender. The woman put her black leather coat in the closet and then walked over towards them, yawning and stretching her arms out.

"I'm so tired; I had to learn how to make new drinks to sell for Friday. Whoever said being a bartender was easy lied." The woman walked over towards the puppy, without noticing that Ichigo was also in the room.

"Aww what a gorgeous puppy!"

She rubbed its soft black coat and kissed it on the nose.

"What's its name?"

The black haired female looked over at Chad who shrugged towards Ichigo. "It's his."

The girl turned to face Ichigo, embarrassed for having not seen him. Her brown freckled cheeks turned pink.

"I'm sorry. My name is Ramona, it's nice to meet you Ichigo."

She brought out her hand allowing Ichigo to shake it. He grabbed her soft small hand and gently shook it.

"I can't believe I didn't notice you when I first arrived. Your spiritual pressure is immense!"

Ichigo glanced over at Chad demanding to know who or what this girl was. She looked normal and her vibe was normal, and yet she's talking about sensing his spiritual pressure. Chad cleared his throat.

"Ramona is my roommate; she's here studying abroad from Spain."

Ramona nodded her head in disagreement and went over to sit on Chad's lap.

"I'm more than just a roommate."

She winked and then glanced over at Ichigo who was still trying to comprehend the comment she had made about his spiritual pressure. Ramona felt the unease coming off of Ichigo, and decided it best that she'd explain everything to him.

"I've had this ability since I was a little girl. I can sense things, supernatural things. My sister's ability was greater; she could sense and see things."

Ramona sighed and she looked down at the floor, debating on whether or not she should continue.

"One night my sister said she had seen something, a monster like creature standing outside of our window. I could sense it and it was the most terrifying and disturbing feeling I've ever felt. I've never felt so terrified in my life! I was frozen in place, I couldn't move no matter how loud my sister yelled at me to. It was like a heavy weight was placed on top of me, holding me down so that I couldn't move."

Her fists balled up and she looked up at Ichigo with tears forming in her eyes.

"My sister pushed me out of the way before it could grab ahold of me. It grabbed her instead. I- I couldn't see anything except my sisters body slowly disappearing as she screamed out in pain. I think it ate her, it had to, I could no longer sense her. The strong spiritual connection we shared was no longer there anymore, that's how I knew she was gone for good. All that I could sense was evil pure evil and then that too vanished. Whatever got rid of it came too late."

Ichigo nodded in understanding making sure she knew she didn't have to continue. This woman before him must have lost her sibling to a hollow, but Ichigo couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling he had about her. He felt that she was lying about something but he just couldn't figure out what it was.

Ramona cleared the tears from her cheeks and replaced her sad pout with a smile.

"That's why I'm here. I've dedicated my life to learning more about the supernatural, and hopefully enhance my sensing ability. I use to be able to sense the amount of spiritual pressure a person has just by walking next to them. Ever since that day, evil presences can sometimes overshadow my ability to sense it. I want to see what my sister seen that day, and I want to learn how to defeat such creatures."

Ichigo smiled and cocked his eyebrow.

"Well you've come to the wrong place. I can assure you that there's nothing evil here."

There haven't been any instances of hollow appearances since Aizen's death. Nothing evil or problem-some. Ramona jumped off of Chad's lap and onto the floor grabbing the small puppy that was biting away at the carpet.

"Well that's odd; I've sensed something evil in this town ever since I landed here. I've told Chad about it too but he says he doesn't sense it. Whatever it is, it's strong enough to cover up Ichigo's spiritual pressure."

Chad shrugged and glanced over at his orange haired friend, who looked as if he had too many surprises for the day.

"Don't get too worked up over it Ichigo. It must not be strong enough since we can't sense it, and when it shows its face it'll wish it never had."

Ichigo slowly nodded trying to understand everything he's heard. Ramona walked off into the kitchen to find the puppy something to eat.

"Well I don't know what your definition of strong is, but from my experience this thing is strong; Strong enough to lead me here to this town that's for sure."

The puppy yipped as Ramona placed a bowl of mushy leftovers down for it to eat. She walked back into the room and joined Ichigo on the sofa.

"Enough about this monster talk. Tell me about yourself, why are you here? Did 'ya girlfriend kick you out?"

Ramona smiled and looked at Ichigo through her big grey eyes.

Orihime stared at the clock on the wall as its ticking grew louder; reminding her that Ichigo hadn't come home yet. It was 4a.m. The night sky was slowly becoming overcome by the pink and purples of the rising sun.

'Where could he be?'

Orihime didn't feel safe knowing that Ichigo was not home. It felt like something was missing, a part of her was missing.

'Maybe he's with Rukia...' The voice in her head shouted the thought, scaring Orihime back to reality.

"I just need to take a walk some fresh air will be good for me." She grabbed her pink sweater that was lying on the bed and put it on.

Orihime zipped up her sweater as a cold breeze blew its way under, making her shiver. Birds began chirping away making it known that the sun would soon rise.

Orihime rounded the corner towards the playground. The swings slowly moved back and forth as the wind gently pushed them. It was nice to be out of the house it made it easier to fight off the urge to sleep. Orihime sat on the small black bench admiring the beauty of being outdoors. The smell of fresh cut green grass, the feel of the gentle sea breeze blowing through her hair, oh how she missed all of this.

"Hey check this out!"

A large man in a black biker jacket walked over to the bench where Orihime sat at. His hair was laced with green highlights and he smelled strongly of alcohol and tobacco. He waved to his other friends who were standing over at the bar across from the playground, to come over.

"Look at this sexy lady! Hey babe whatcha doing out so late?"

The man stood in front of Orihime as the other men stood around her as if to block her way of escape.

"I was...ummm...just taking a walk. If you don't mind I should be going home now."

Orihime stood up and tried to squeeze her way past a much smaller man who looked as if he didn't belong with this rough and tough group of men. His eyes were gentle and you could tell he had a kind heart, but hanging out with the wrong group kept him from showing it.

"You're not going anywhere!"

The guy with the green hair pulled Orihime by the hair and threw her down on the bench, getting on top of her before she had a chance to get back up. His dirty hand covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming. One of the other guys handed him a rag which he stuffed into her mouth. Orihime was too weak to fight back, she was so sleep deprived that her body was functioning at a mere ten percent. She didn't even know how she managed to make it to the park.

"You're just what I need right now babe! And you're not fighting back huh?"

The man let his hands roam down to Orihime's thigh as he leaned down so that his face was just inches away from hers.

"You must want it too huh?"

The man leaned down to kiss her but she turned her head.

'Ichigo...where is Ichigo!'

Tears began rolling down her cheeks, staining her tired and restless face. She knew that this time Ichigo wouldn't come for her rescue.

"Turn her head!"

The smaller guy walked over and grabbed Orihime's head, forcefully turning it so that her eyes met with the man's in front of her.

"Now where were we?"

The man placed his lips on hers, trying to force his tongue inside of her mouth.

'Ichigo I'm sorry for being so weak...' Orihime closed her eyes as the man began to unbutton his pants.

"I've been wanting some ass all week!"

'Ichigo I need you! Help me Ichigo! Please help me!'

Orihime opened her eyes to complete darkness.

"What's going on? Where am I?" Her voice echoed through the darkness making it sound eerie.

"Orihime!"

She turned around in the direction that Ichigo's voice was coming from.

"Ichigo? Ichigo is that you?" She flinched as a hand hit her shoulder.

"Yes I'm right here, grab my hand."

Orihime grabbed Ichigo's hand through the darkness, holding it tightly as they walked out of the darkness and into a white room. The room had no windows and the sound of their footsteps bounced off of the walls creating a loud booming noise. Orihime looked up at Ichigo and was shocked to see a pale white face with wide yellow eyes looking back at her.

"You're not Ichigo!"

Orihime tried to back away but the person held on to her hand. The hand that looked as if it belonged to a man was now replaced with a pale white petite looking hand. It was a woman's hand. The woman backed away so that Orihime could see all of her. She resembled Orihime quite a bit, but her face was as pale as a ghost. Her long silver hair shimmered in the brightly lit room. She wore an orange kimono with black roses on it. Her long lean legs were also very pale. The woman smiled showing her long sharp white fangs.

"Surprise! Haha here's another surprise!" She reached into the front of her kimono and pulled out a blue hair clip.

"My Shun Shun Rikka!" Orihime reached her hand out then slowly drew it back.

The woman laughed and placed the hair piece in her silver locks.

"I think it looks better on me, don't ya think?"

The woman slowly walked towards Orihime showing her sharp teeth. Her footsteps echoed off of the walls growing louder with each step. The black roses on the woman's kimono became animated and began to wilt and blow off of the kimono, only to land on the white floor. Black petals filled the room with every step she took. Orihime stepped back until her back was against the wall.

"Ichi-"

In a flash the woman was in front of Orihime covering her mouth.

"Stop calling out for Ichigo it's fucking pathetic!"

A violent wind came roaring through the room making her silver hair fly everywhere.

"It's time to have some fun!"

The woman grabbed Orihime by the throat and threw her into the wall on the other side of the room. Orhime's limp body fell to the ground.

"Sleep tight!"

The woman laughed and flew out of the room.

"Your skin is so smooth baby!"

The man ran his hand down Orihime's stomach and rested them on her pelvic area.

"Are you ready?"

The man looked up at her as if he really cared what her answer would be.

Orihime sat up easily removing the man's grip on her arms.

"Are you ready?"

She kicked the man in the stomach causing him to go flying through the soccer net which was about a yard away.

"Whoa look at her eyes man! They're fucking yellow like a cat or something!"

The small man reached inside of his pocket and drew a knife. The other men followed and grabbed their weapons too.

"Kill this bitch!"

Orihime laughed and tilted her head back like a mad man.

"I'll show you how bitchy I can be!"

She kicked the knife out of the small man's hand and jumped in the air grabbing it before it got the chance to deal with gravity.

"Okay now I want all of you to come at me all at once!"

Orihime stood on the bench holding the knife freely in her hand. The men looked at each other baffled.

"Umm...you go first Jerry!"

The man with a red hat pointed at the smaller man. Orihime shook her head and in a flash she landed behind the man wearing the red hat.

"That's not what I asked for!"

She drove the knife deep into the man's back smiling as he screamed out of pure agony. The man fell to the ground with blood pouring out of his mouth.

"What the fuck! Sh-shh-she just killed Shiro! You crazy bitch! I'm out of here!"

The men started to flee from Orihime as fast as they could.

"Aww come back and play!"

Orihime reached down and pulled the knife from out of the man's back. She then brought it to her lips and licked the blood off of it.

"There, nice and clean again."

Orihime aimed the knife at one of the men running and threw it, hitting her target. The knife went through the man's head and out of his eye, shattering his skull and causing severe damage to his brain. It was no doubt that he was dead.

"Haha two more to go! This is so much fun!"

Orihime ran after the two men catching up to them with ease. With a flick of her hand, an orange light formed a circle around the men stopping them from running any farther.

"Fuck! Don't touch the light man it fucking burns!"

The small man fell down to his knees and looked at her with tears falling from his eyes.

"Please I beg of you to have mercy on me! I have a wife and two kids! Please don't hurt me!"

Orihime smiled and walked towards the man so that he could see her expressionless face.

"Well you should have thought about that before you tried to let your friend rape me!"

Orihime clapped her hands together and the orange light covered the two men's bodies, then disappeared leaving nothing but a pile of ash.

Orihime felt someone staring at her from the rooftops, and giggled out of joy that someone was watching her. She looked up on the roof of the brown house and watched as a swift black shadow disappeared from it.

'Please don't leave them like this. Please try to heal them.'

The real Orihime had awakened but was still trapped inside of the surreal world within her troubled soul. Even though she couldn't control the actions of the being in control of her body, she could still express herself on what she believed was the right thing to do.

'Please, I'm begging you! Heal them! What will you do when the cops show up and create uproar about the crime scene laid out in front of them?'

"Please! Please! Oh shut the fuck up! You're an annoying little bitch! If you hadn't noticed, they were going to rape you dumb ass! This is why I'm going to be the new and improved Orihime very soon. You're too fucking soft!"

Orihime held both of her arms out causing another orange light to form. She created separate orange coffin-like barriers over the men before walking away towards the soccer field. Out of the ash formed arms and then legs, creating two bodies. The blood out of the other two men's bodies flowed back inside of them as their wounds began to heal.

Orihime approached the green haired man just as he became conscious.

"Please don't hurt me!"

Orihime reached down and grabbed the man's private, squeezing it as he cried out in pain.

"How does this feel baby? I wonder if I should rip it off and keep it for myself!"

'Please don't…You've had enough!'

Orihime let go of the man's parts, and tugged at his green and black hair.

"When I see you again, I will kill you!"

Orihime decided it was time to leave, sirens could be heard not too far away; and the men who were once dead were now back on their feet too scared to even talk amongst one another about what had just happened.

Orihime turned on the shower, and undressed herself in front of the mirror.

"Haha I could get used to this! But since I'm a nice person I'll let you say your goodbyes first. It's only a matter of time before you fall asleep for good! And when that happens, you'll be trapped inside there for good!"

Orihime stepped inside of the shower, and her bright yellow eyes were replaced with worrisome brown ones. Orihime quietly washed the blood from off of her arms, knowing everything that had happened while she wasn't in control. It took every ounce of her to convince the evil woman to heal the men that she had killed. Her words filled the woman's mind until she could no longer take it, and ended up healing the men.

Orihime was physically and mentally exhausted. She fell to her knees and allowed the water to spray over her.

'Say your goodbyes now Orihime, because the next time I catch you in my world you will not escape! I promise you that! And your pleads will no longer fill my head while I'm in control. It'll be like you no longer exist!'
