(Thought I Was) Getting Over You
Orihime was dancing in her apartment, trying to get lost in the music, blasting a silly pop song about girl power. She was trying to get rid of the memories of tonight or really what didn't happen. I'm fine was the mantra she was saying over and over in her head while jumping around her living room while replaying the events that happened earlier. I'm fine crossed over to I'm so stupid… I am so over him…ha…heh…
As the song faded, Orihime slowly fell on the ground. The next song faded in the background as Orihime stared at the ceiling, memories flooding her head. She closed her eyes and thought back to five years ago when Ichigo lost his reiryoku after beating Aizen. Seeing Ichigo say goodbye to Rukia was heartbreaking. She felt it was all her fault for going to Hueco Mundo in the first place. Didn't she know that her friends would come after her? Therefore, she felt responsible for his loss of powers and for Ichigo losing Rukia. She meant a lot to him and she took her away from him. His sad face said it all as she faded from his eyes. Maybe…maybe…Orihime thought, that was the day Ichigo knew he loved her. Over a year and a half later, Rukia came back restoring his full power against Ginjo. Orihime berated herself again. She was getting closer to Ichigo – now part of his circle with Sado and Ishida – and then she fell under Tsukishima's spell betraying Ichigo. After that Rukia stayed in the human world.
