Ginga Hanashi Orion

Season one Episode eight: A Sudden Lust for Blood

The screen brightened up with Silhouette from Naruto Shippuden playing as Orion and his friends were each shown one by one with Orion being last to indicate him being the main character. The word Ginga was sliced onto the screen with Hanashi being pushed underneath it. The word Orion was then shot underneath that as well with fire blazing around it right after. The song began with Orion looking over a beautiful part of the land as a female voice began to sing the main theme for the series known as Who I Am.

"Ready set go! My determination will rise and give me hope; (Andy walks up to Orion and sits next to him) Even though, there is so, much we do not know yet." Bella was jumping into a rain puddle while it was still raining, showing her bubbly natue. "Crossing that line. (Bella sees Sirius walking up to her) We all know there's no going back in time. (Sirius rubs Bella's head, making her smile) Even though, there is so, much we do not know yet."

Orion and Rigel were on a stage with Rigel farting his ABC's as he let out small green clouds for each one, making Orion laugh as the song continued. "Our passion, is burning, under the sun." Orion was shown to be crushing someone's skull, showing a dark expression on his face as he did so. "Yeah my skin is, glistening. (Orion lets out an evil grin, showing that he can be merciless when he wants to be) From the, sweat dripping from my (Orion punches the guard, possibly killing him as he does so) face!"

Ciara was watching as Orion slashed through an entire army of evil doers, staying out of sight as to not be seen by him. "As time will pass, I believe, (Ciara seems to be cautious when watching Orion's skills) there are many things that we may forget; (Orion continues to slash the army members into pieces as well as wiping them all out in no time) But I won't, lost the sign, of who I am."

Orion and his friends were shown to be braving some kind of snowstorm with Orion holding Andy's paw tightly so he doesn't fall behind. "It's not exactly that I don't care, but I won't let my memories be bare. And that's why, I must find, out who I am."

Orion was dodging Hydra's punches and kicks while in a blood red aura without moving as the song wrapped up. "So gracefully, we're fluttering, like dancing leaves. Just know I won't, ever abandon you!" Orion aimed a punch at Hydra as the wolf did the same, capping off the intro theme and having the title return with a dark aura along with Orion's sillhouette next to it.

Four years prior to the current events of the series, Sirius was shown sitting with Bella while Kotetsu watched them in the chair next to the couch. While they were doing that, Cross's voice could be heard in the other room. "It's great that you're back with us Orion." Cross was shown in the kitchen with Orion, who was sitting in a chair behind her. "Now that you'll be spending some time with us, you'll be more than satisfied with your meals. You'll eat like a King! (Looks back at Orion) Doesn't that sound like a feast to you?"

Orion remained silent for a bit but eventually spoke, unable to deny his love for food. "I guess. I do love food. Even more than any of my friends combined."

"My point exactly." Cross finished cutting something up as she then pointed out another step to Orion. "And next we'll need to cut some garlic cloves to use for later. Which requires the-"

Cross looked over at the knives, only to find that they were all gone. This led to Orion chuckling as he messed with Cross a bit. "What's wrong ya old hag? Where are the knives?"

Cross turned around and faced Orion with a blunt look, feeling he had something to do with this. "Orion, what did you do with them."

"No-thing."

"Don't test me Orion. I'll get Kotetsu in here."

Orion looked into the living room to find Kotetsu watching Tv and scoffed as he looked back at Cross. "He doesn't scare me."

"True. But he's much stronger than you are at the moment." Cross pointed out with a smug grin on her face. "Shouldn't be something to underestimate."

Orion growled in annoyance as he then looked away when he stated where he put the knives. "They're in my room."

"Why did you take them?" Cross asked, sounding worried for Orion's safety, as she knew he changed a bit after what Trent did to him.

"I just wanted to play with them." Orion whined as he looked at Cross, only for Kotetsu to then butt in bluntly.

"Just go get em ya brat."

Orion scoffed and walked off with Cross calling Kotetsu out on his response. "Kotetsu. There's no need to be rude. (Puts a finger up) Even if they are the rude child of Weed."

Orion went over to his room and went inside, closing it as he looked for the knives while ranting silently about Kotetsu's demand. "Stupid Kishu. I'm not scared of you comedian." Orion smirked as he looked under his bed and closed his eyes with a grin on his face. "I'll give you something funny to laugh at." Orion reached under his bed to get the knives, only to then hear a voice coming from behind him. He couldn't make out the words, but it sounded like someone saying his name. He then looked behind himself and saw something that shocked him.

Orion's scream could be heard from the main room with Sirius hearing it and running upstairs to see what it is. Orion was up against the wall as he had a genuine look of fear on his face with Sirius speaking with concern. "Orion, what's wrong?" Orion pointed into the room with fear with Sirius looking as he walked over to him. "In our room?" Sirius smiled as he held Orion's paw. "We'll check it out together, okay? (Orion starts protesting) One, two, (Opens the door) three."

Orion held Sirius tight with what Orion saw being gone, leading to Sirius smiling as he commented on the empty room. "I don't think there's anything, (Looks at Orion as he lets go) in here buddy."

Orion held his chest tight and felt that Sirius could've been correct, reaching the conclusion that he was only hearing things. "Yeah. I guess you're right. I don't see-" Just then, a grown Bloodhound in a therapist suit appeared, making Orion freak as he ran off. This led to Sirius laughing a bit at his brothers rather unusual fear.

Kotetsu was watching Tv with Bella as the two of them heard Orion out of his room and crashing into the wall as he shouted. "Son of a bitch! Where does he keep coming from!?" Orion looked back upstairs and clenched his heart with fear and anger. "How many of him are in this, (Looks away) fucking house!?"

"Whoa whoa, watch the language there sailor; what's goin on?" Kotetsu asked with a chuckle, wanting to keep Orion's blood preassure low.

"Nothing!"

"You sure about that. You seem pretty freaked out by nothing."

"Tch. As if I'm scared of a stupid dorky-" Orion saw the therapist coming downstairs emotionless and freaked as he ran over to the couch, leading to Sirius chuckling about it. "Shut up Sirius!"

Kotetsu snickered a bit himself and looked down at Orion with a smug grin on his face from the sight of what was happening. "You're scared of therapists."

Cross came into the living room while laughing softly about the scenario, finding it quite funny to see what Orion was afraid of. "Well that's an irrational fear if I've ever seen one."

Orion got up into Cross's face, wanting everyone to stop talking about the whole thing right this minute. "All of you just shut the hell up! I'm not scared of therapists, I'm not scared of anything! And if you say anything else on the matter, (Grabs arm violently and digs claws into it) I'll tear you limb from (Scratches him self and makes himself bleed, shocking Cross) limb and-"

"And now we must speak of your anger problem." Orion looked to see Kotetsu reading from a book in a therapist's suit. "It appeares your anger comes from shear brattiness and a refusal to admit when wrong. (Sirius tries to hold in his laughter) And whenever it comes out, you make yourself into a cringy try hard edgelord who doesn't know what's good for him." Orion's face was turning blood read with Kotetsu closing the book he was holding and giving a smirk to the red Akita. "Does this fail to make you any calmer?" Orion started chasing Kotetsu around the house, even picking up the table he was sitting on and throwing it at him.

Cross was cooking in the kitchen with one of the knives flying right by her, much to her shock as it hit the wall. Orion then walked by with the other knives with Cross pointing out his sudden knife throw. "Who're you gonna be for Halloween, Freddy Krueger?" Orion put the knives on the counter and walked off, making Cross concerned for what could happen. "You may wanna put those back in the slides Orion. If they fall then they could-"

"Shut up." Orion walked out of the kitchen and over to the couch, sitting down on it as he picked up the remote and turned on the Tv. The show he turned on showed the intro theme for a young Dalmatian aiming a knife at some kind of skeleton and slicing it at him. He seemed to be smiling when he saw this and Cross went out into the living room to see what he was watching. When she saw what he was watching, he explained what it was about. "It's this movie based off of the gruesome revival to the 101 Dalmatians series. You'll have to watch the first two seasons to understand the scenario."

Cross nodded in understanding with someone calling on the phone, making Orion sigh as he picked it up to answer it. "What do you want?" Orion allowed the one on the other end to speak, hanging up instantly when he heard it. "God damn it; what's with all these therapists!? I don't need therapy, (Pulls the phone out of the wall) and I sure as hell don't need (Throws the phone at the wall) medication!" The phone broke into multiple pieces, leading to Orion sitting down in frustration as he continued watching his show. "Why can't they just get lost."

Cross started to worry about Orion's sudden temper change, never seeing him with this level of anger issues before. He was clearly against this whole therapy thing and she just couldn't point out why. It's not like he's ever talked to a therapist in his life before. He decided to just wait for Weed and Koyuki to get back, feeling this would be best for them to handle. She'd be able to explain it to them after all, so it wouldn't be too hard for them to fix.

Cross was explaining Orion's behavior to Weed and Koyuki, who were on her porch as she gave them the details. "And I'm just really worried about him. He seemed fine when he came here with his siblings but now he's hiding knives in his room and he's, scared of therapists. I don't get that."

"Yeah, we've noticed it too." Koyuki admitted, feeling Orion's been through way too much lately. "If you wanna see real horror though, you should check out what's happening by our own house." Cross became worried with Orion then handing her a small box and walking over to the car without saying a word. Cross was confused as to what was in it and she opened it, revealing some kind of cell phone for her to use. "Oh, that's nice. (Gets back to the point) And every time we try to talk to him about it he just tells us to get lost."

"Well try to talk about it with him when you get home." Cross suggested with concern for Orion's well being. "I say don't give him a choice; just place him on the couch and talk with him."

Weed and Koyuki felt they didn't have any better options and Weed spoke up about it. "You really think it'll work?" Cross shrugged with Weed and Koyuki walking back over to the car, since everyone was already in it.

Orion's house was shown with Orion then seen sitting on the couch with Weed and Koyuki as Weed spoke about his recent behavior change. "Listen Orion. You can't just go around breaking other people's phones and throwing knives in their house. Even if the knives are theres." Orion looks away with his arms crossed, not wanting to hear any of his parents crap. "It's not okay Orion, you can't just act like this for no reason."

Orion continued to ignore his father, which irritated Koyuki quite a bit as she then backed Weed up. "Orion, listen to your father." Orion walked away, feeling that being outnumbered would just waste his time. This led to Koyuki losing her patience and grabbing Orion violently by his arm. "Don't you walk away from us mister! You've been acting like a spoiled emo brat lately and it's about time you shaped up!" Orion didn't bother responding, holding back his possible tears with Koyuki continuing her words. "Well!? Say something!"

Orion pulled his arm away and ran off, wanting to avoid any kind of drama he could. Weed and Koyuki looked at each other with concern and fear on both of their faces, feeling they'd have to call someone to help Orion. Koyuki picked up the phone with Weed knowing she was doing what she thought was right. "It'll be okay Koyuki. Orion is completely normal. He just needs help." Koyuki nodded and held her tears in to hide how scared she was so she could avoid worrying her husband.

Orion was walking through the forest with Andy as he spoke about what was going on, feeling Andy was the only one he could currently trust. "You're the only one that gets me, you know what I mean?" Andy nodded in understanding as he continued listening to what Orion had to say. "I just feel like I'm stuck in this world with little options of a way out. Everyone's treating me like I started the next Ohu war, when in reality I haven't even killed anyone yet. Well (Chuckles a bit) alright I killed Trent but he deserred it."

Andy tried to think of a possible conclusion that could fit for both what he was thinking and what Orion had on his mind. "I think they're just unsure of how to deal with your recent behavior change." Orion grabbed his arm with a heap of strain on him, leading to Andy putting his paw on his shoulder for comfort. "They just don't know how to help you yet. What you went through isn't something that everyone goes through, and it's a huge thing for both the victim, and his or her loves ones."

Orion looked at Andy with concern, not wanting to get violent around him. He was the one he trussted and loved the most, finding that their friendship was too strong to let go. "Don't worry Orion. I'm here for you every step of the way. I won't let anything happen to you."

Orion smiled upon Andy's words as the two of them continued walking through the forest and enjoyed doing so. The two of them continued walking until Orion felt a sudden urge to see his blood color. He was thinking about it ever since he got diagnosed with black blood and he just had to see it for himself. He didn't want to do it around Andy though, as he knew Andy would be shocked by it, and Orion didn't want to harm him in any way possible. He'd have to do it in private, when no one else was watching.

Andy was walking up to Orion's house when night was about to hit as he knocked on the front door and waited for someone to answer. After waiting for a few seconds, the door was answered by Weed with Andy greeting him. "Hi Weed. Is Orion home?"

"Yeah, he's here." Weed pointed upstairs with Andy entering the room and nodding to him. "Good luck. I think you'll have noticed by now he's been quite the hard one to handle lately."

"Oh, I know." Andy stated confidentelly, and he ran upstairs and over to Orion and Sirius's room. When he opened the door however, he saw Orion sitting in the corner of the room, much to his confusion. He walked over to him and said Orion's name to assure his presence. "Orion." Orion flinched and turned around, seeming to be hiding something behind his back. Andy ignored this and took out a bag he had in his pack. "I snuck some of my dad's special stash of donuts. I thought you'd like to try a couple since we both love donuts."

Orion smiled and almost forgot about what he was doing before, nodding as Andy walked over to him. Andy then couldn't help but notice some kind of dripping liquid coming from Orion's wrist. He got worried and was about to look, making Orion need to act fast. Luckily, Orion hadn't let loose from dinner yet and he cut a five second spoiled mushroom fart, releasing a green cloud behind him that made Andy back up (phhhhhhhhhht).

Andy wafted the fart away with Orion whiffing it proudly, not minding what he just did. Andy shrugged and pulled out a chocolate filled chocolate donut, knowing how much Orion loved those and tossed it over to him. He caught it in his mouth and made Andy laugh upon the sight of it, glad that he was able to hide what he was doing for now. "Well I'm glad everything's going fine over here. For a second I thought you were cutting yourself or something." Orion chuckled nervously, not wanting Andy to know about this, at least not yet.

Orion was bandaging up his wrist with a sample of black ooze in a small capsule behind him as Andy bit into a jelly filled donut. Andy just loved the taste of the jelly filled ones. They filled his mouth with all kinds of love whenever he bit into them. Orion was glad to see that he and Andy both felt joy inside of them, and that's exactly why he wanted to hide what he just did. If Andy found out, it would lead to plenty of problems. As well as Orion knew Andy, that fact was both a strength, and a weakness in their friendship.

Andy could sense that Orion was on edge about something, buut he didn't want to make a scene so he kept it to himself. Orion then put some kind of black ooze on his bedtable swiftly, making sure Andy didn't see him do it. Andy finished his first donut and then got a text from his dad with Orion seeing it and replying with something snappy and over the top. Andy became worried when Orion sent it with Orion being all relaxed about it. "Don't worry, after a bit he'll see that I sent the text."

Andy felt he couldn't argue with that and Orion reached into the bag to get another donut. When he pulled out a glazed donut, he noticed the large black stain on the bandages he used for his cut and panicked, so he quickly bit into his donut and walked back over to Andy. "So Andy. Hypothetically, what would you do if you saw someone bleeding literal black on the battlefield.

Andy didn't know how to answer that question and then he saw Orion's bandages, questioning what they were from. "Hey, when did you get those on you?"

Orion panicked and looked at the bandages, knowing that Andy was going to get close soon if he didn't act fast. "Oh, these? That's not important right now, it's just something that came along for no reason."

"Riiight." Andy grabbed Orion's paw and saw the bandages with Orion grabbing his arm violently as Andy showed concern. Andy then calmed him down by assuring him that this wouldn't do anything drastic. "Orion, it's okay. (Removes Orion's claws from his arm) Lots of people cut themselves. When they're depressed anyway, but it's something that always goes down." Orion clenched his fist with Andy looking into his eyes with an assuring look on his face. "It's going to be okay Orion. We can both move past this."

Orion hugged Andy after putting a smile on his face with Andy wrapping his arms around him. The two of them knew for a fact that if they could easily get past the worst moments from each other, they could most certainly stay friends for a long time to come.

Orion looked to see his parents down on the couch downstairs with Andy walking up to him and standing next to him. He felt nervous about talking about what he was feeling to them, since he wasn't exactly the type to talk about his feelings. Andy put his paw on Orion's shoulder and spoke calmly to him, smiling as he assured him everything would be okay. "You'll do great Orion. This is Weed and Koyuki we're talking about. If anyone is able to help one with what they're going through, it's Weed. They won't think less of you after this."

Orion nodded and breathed in through his nose and out from his mout when he came downstairs, preparing himself for what was about to go down. Koyuki saw him and smirked as she commented on his appearence. "Well someone decided to come back down after-"

"Just shut up and listen." Orion demanded, and he then revealed his wrist to both of them, shocking them with Weed grabbing his wrist instantly. "This is what that incident made me do. Ever since then I just lost trust in nearly all of canine kind and I can't stand it. Everywhere I go it feels like someone's going to kill me and that I have to end my own life just to keep then away from me." Weed and Koyuki could see Orion's horrified look as he finished his words. "I feel like I'm surrounded by demons and can't break out!"

Weed could see what Orion was going through and hugged him, not wanting him to feel like he was anything worse than normal. "This isn't wrong to feel Orion. How you feel right now is just a reaction from a past event." Orion wrapped his arms around his father, not crying, but feeling sentimental at the moment. "And we're here for you every step of the way. (Pulls Orion away with a smile) Don't ever forget that."

Orion smiled and nodded with Koyuki walking upstairs to let the two of them have their moment, seeing Andy and smiling as he looked down at him. "Orion's lucky to have a friend like you." Andy looked up to see Koyuki smiling down at him. "If there's one thing you took from your father, it's how you're a mentor figure in your own way."

Andy looked down at Orion and felt that Koyuki's words were true, adding in his own two cents on the subject. "Well Orion's not exactly my student. I think Weed had some mentor moments for Jerome too." Koyuki nodded in agreement, being more than familiar with the journey and growth Weed went on. Andy could see it now. Orion would be one of the strongest warriors out there, and the two of them were fighting baddies right alongside each other. It was a dream Andy was confident would happen."

Orion and Andy were by the office Orion was assigned to for what looked like he was about to go into therapy. Orion rubbed his arm nervously, not knowing what to expect from something like this. Andy nodded to him with a smile and encouraged him to go in, which he did. When he came in, he saw Gb reading some kind of book with Orion being surprised to see him. He closed the door behind him and walked up to him all casually, since he was quite familiar with him. "So you took up a little side job, huh? Didn't think you'd pick this."

Gb chuckled a bit as he then went off to explain why he chose therapy of all things. "I felt it would help a great deal to give advice to those who were feeling conflicted on a certain aspect of life."

"Well you've come to the right place." Orion walked over to the couch and sat down on it, and unsurprisingly started asking the questions. "So. You're a child therapist."

"That's right."

"Does that mean you weren't good enough to be a grown up therapist?"

"No, I just chose child therapy because I felt it would be interesting to delve into the minds of a child."

"Fair enough. Adults tend to get boring when they grow up anyway." Orion decided to get straight to the point, feeling he could relax with the knowledge that his therapist was someone his dad knew. "So let's start off small, since I'm too relaxed to talk about the dark stuff. (Sits up straight) What was it like traveling with my dad?"

"Oh, he was quite the interesting kid." Gb admitted, looking back on the time he spent with Weed fondly. "He rarely ever lost hope and was always standing up against our opponents to protect our friends. If there was anyone you could call most loyal, it was him."

Orion started wondering what he could do in terms of helping the Ohu army, wanting to make an impact of his own, just like his father did. "Maybe someday I can show my worth with the Ohu army."

Orion and Andy were at school the next day with Orion seeming to be a bit better than he was before. "And then he started talking about how my dad got a boner after dreaming about mom." Orion snickered a bit at that thought, not knowing what getting a boner for someone would feel like. "I hope that doesn't happen to me."

"I think it's something that happens to everyone." Andy pointed out, feeling that boners were natural for just about every male to have. "Still, it's interesting what Weed went through. I hope someday I can be as brave as him. (Looks at Orion) You think it's possible I'll get to that point."

"Pssh. Dude, (Pats Andy's back) if it were impossible we would've quit by now." Orion pointed out, feeling there's no reason to quit on something that's got all kinds of possibilities to happen. "And we aren't gonna slack off on helping your courage until you're at the maximum level. We're gonna get there no matter what." Andy smiled and nodded, knowing Orion wasn't going to go back on his word. The two of them then headed off to class when the bell rang, racing off to see if they could get there before role was taken.

The next day.

Orion was at Cross's the next day as he tossed one of the knives into the air while whisteling as Cross was shown cooking some kind of calzone. "And for those who love mushrooms, you gotta put a lot in there. And I know how much you love mushrooms, so you're gonna be getting quite a bit." Cross noticed that Orion was in a much better mood than he was the last them he and his siblings visited and was quite happy to see him getting better. "You seem to be in a better mood too. Looks like finally taking up therapy helped."

"Well that's partially because my therapist is Gb." Cross became surprised to hear this with Orion explaining what he meant. "See, he felt that while he wasn't being called on missions, he could take child therapy as a side job. I think it's a nice little hobby to have too, since you can get money for it, and you'll still be doing something you like a lot."

Cross nodded in agreement, feeling Gb made a good choice. "Well I'm glad he has you as a patient." Orion nodded and went back to what he was doing before as with Cross smiling as she got back to calzone making. "And I just know you're gonna be back to your food loving self for a while now. Once you bite into this, you'll feel like you just tasted heaven." Orion continued doing what he was doing with a smile on his face as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.

Bleach ending 10 Sakura Biyori played during the credits with Orion shown sitting on a ledge while looking over the land as a female voice prepared to sing The Evil In Me. "Sometimes I wonder, why things are like this, why my blood is tainted black, with no bliss. Has this fact occured, to anyone else, or is it all just me sulking, with little hope."

Orion looked up at the moon as Andy walked over to him and the two of them started talking as the leaders of Ohu were above them. "Very few canines understand me. Some others see me as as sadistic twerp. And although I won't lie, I truly love martial arts, I want them to see, that there's, more to me."

Orion and Andy looked at the stars with their looks of hope and compassion being shown. "My flaws aren't to ignore, but they aren't all I am. There is much, more to me, then this scar here. I blame no one for, being fearful, but I wish they could see. Once they see my, caring side they'll, get past the evil in me."
