Orihime's POV

Apart from being blinded by the sparkles emanating from the whole place,I am starting to get weird thoughts about Ishida-kun.

"I still can't get over that feeling of his touch on my arms and legs when he tended to my wounds. Ahhh….that wondrous feeling is priceless, I crave for it like lemon flavoured soba topped with chocolate flakes and whipped cream. I need it now…right now…right this instant! And that move he just did, the sweeping of those bottles of different sizes all into his chibi pocket. It's so cool. Who would have thought my ultra thin Ishida-kun have all those dangerous stuff on him? … Kurosaki-kun's big chopper knife can't match that stuff…and the Ishida-kun the sensational Ishida-kun, is standing right in front of me, in my very apartment…mine…and he was just…eeek…"


Ishida-kun! ...


Ishida's POV

"Huh… Inoue-san? ... What is it?" a startled Ishida-kun turned from the doorway at the sudden scream of his name from his classmate. It sounded like a scream of fear…pain…or is it…torture. What is the matter? Did the cuts open up? Or did a 'Hollow' appear? Attacking my poor defenseless Inoue-san…it must be powerful to sneak up on me like that and I can't sense it!

"Dammit!"

My eyes quickly scanned the apartment for the 'Hollow' that have my Inoue-san screaming in terror.

"Where is it? ...Come out you big fat chicken!" I shouted out with anger at this unseeingly creature so mighty that till now I can sense Xerox of its presences. My bow all poised and ready on my right hand, gathering spiritual energy from around and shaping it into a blue arrow with my left.


Orihime's POV

"Anou……. Ishiii…daa…….kun? Who are you talking to?" I finally managed to ask my jet black hair warrior/saviour/knight in Quincy outfit, after staring at him wild-eyed with surprise and awe.

Ishida-kun was still looking frantically around the apartment, searching for something, moving and aiming his bow synchronize with his line of sight. He looks so cool…standing there with his white uniform flapping…with that humungous bow attached on his hand and that arrow…its blue is so clear and reeks with innocence. Now if only he would pay attention to me and my questions! REALLY…he's so absorbed with god-knows-what…it is like he's totally in another world!

"ISHIDA-KUNNN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I practically shouted after waiting for what seems like eternity for an answer from my adorable preoccupied Quincy and still getting no answer.


Ishida's POV

"Where is it? ...Where is it hiding? Above? Below? Left? Right? … It's not anywhere? ...the toilet?...nope…behind the curtains?...nope…." I thought to myself. Flitting through all the possible hiding places in my mind but to no avail, it is not anywhere! "I'm really lucky to be able to fight this 'hollow'… to be able to conceal itself this well…its going to be a challenge…"

"ISHIDA-KUNNN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?..."

That sounds like Inoue-san. I quickly turned to face her. Panic gripped my insides. Oh no!... It must have gotten to her…how can I be so careless? ... I can never forgive myself if anything happens to her... what am I doing? Letting my guard down like that!

To my surprised, I was greeted by the sight of Inoue-san never looking any pinker than ever; she is still standing at the same spot she was standing a while ago and there is no slash wounds or bloody arms or….

"Finally...what are you doing? What's with the bow all of a sudden….though you look absolutely dashing with that pose…and that arrow…I have never seen anything so bright…except for my apartment now…but that is no rival to that arrow of yours…its perfectly shaped too…and pointy…and…it really goes with that outfit and…that gloves of yours…we must take a picture of this...for remembrance sake...besides, I have never seen you in..."

"…Err…Inoue-san…"

"Oh…sorry I got carried away…carry on, so what is this about…?" replied Inoue-san with her famous giggle stuck to the end of her sentence.

"You are not hurt…are you?"

"Nope…thanks to you I'm totally fine…with you around parents can relax cause their children are in safe hands…really...really...safe"

"Then…that scream just now…what's that about…was something attacking you?...a hollow?"

"Hollow?Where?..." Inoue-san looked frantically around, repeating my previous actions except her hands are now at the sides of her head on her clips.


POP! POP! POP!

Out came her creatures…flying in the air around her. I stared at her…she looks so gorgeous with her hair billowing in the wind conjured by her creatures. She looks so gentle and fragile…and the way she treats those creatures…I definitely want her to be the mother of….

"Yo, why did you call us out for? I don't sense any threatening things around…definitely no hollows around this vicinity….as far as 100km from here!...Don't just call us out for nothing, you useless girl! We are not toys for you to play with when you're bored...sheesh!"

My thoughts were cut short by the shrill but deep voice coming from the creature dressed all in black. He then proceeded to pull Inoue-san by her hair simultaneously calling her names like a little brat.

"Ahh…sorry… sorry… sorry…I thought there were hollows around here. Sorry…really sorry…you can go back now! Thank you for coming out when I called…"


POP! POP! POP!
The creatures are gone.


Oops, I must have been mistaken!
The bow and arrow in my hands disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Inoue-san…just now…when you screamed…I thought you were in danger…a hollow had appeared…and I was just…" I explained. My cheeks burning hot with embarrassment.

"No sorry Ishida-kun, it was my fault…I was…I was…" her face turned bright red. "Ok…let's get going……"she said in her cheery voice and walked with her springy steps to the door.
