Chapter 10

wahoo!

He looks up, shocked and somewhat confused. "Ano.. I've been meaning to talk to you about the whole getting new powers thing.." She sighed.

Now this time ichigo stood up outraged and slammed his hand against the table, "OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Orihime was silent and Ichigo turned beat red. He huffed and fell back to his butt.

"Are you saying that woman can't fight or are you saying you want to protect her yourself??!"

"NO!!no- woman can fight, Fuck look at Yoruichi..."

"Ichigo... I'm always useless, all the time! And now i can't even heal people! I want to be powerful too, i want to be able to help!" Orihime argued.

Her eyes turned to him, with tears beginning to form, "I'm scared, Ichigo. What if i'm still weak? What if i still need you to protect me?... What am i going to d-" Her moving lips were silenced, by a hand. Ichigo's hand.

"Orihime, sometimes you are fucking stupid. You have never been weak! You have never been a coward! I WILL ALWAYS protect you, even if you don't want me to anymore." She smiled, just silightly.

"Ichigo, I am weak. I don't even have my powers anymore! How would you feel if you lost your Shinigami powers ?" He stopped moving and talking.

"She does have a point. " "I'd be pissed as fuck and would beat the shit out of whoever thought that I would be okay to seal away my powers." He heard her giggle from above.

"Other then that, sure. I would find any possible way to gain any form of my powers back. But I don't have anyone that can protect me! If i did i would never refuse them or would I try to gain my powers back."

"You rescued me from Hueco Mundo, you saved me from my brother, you have saved me alot of times. I want to be able to save you once in awhile, ya know."

"I will always be here for you, I will help you when your sore from training. I will keep my promise." "I should have never made that promised to begin with."

Then a whisper came to his ears, "I guess."

"You better know so."

The door opened and Ichigo's father had arrived home.

I'm sorry for the long wait but for now i'm at a brain fart ! writer's block!

"Shit. Fun's over." Ichigo swore and began to get up.

His father stood in the door way of the living room, "Heyyyy! Shouldn't you two be at school !?"
