One would base Orihime's "instincts" on pure luck. That is, if anyone would acknowledge that the girl had anything close to a serious side. After all, chocolate, onion and green bean cupcakes were far from normal, as Inoue was far from a normal girl. Being as bubbly as she always was, nobody would think twice when something insightful left her lips.
The criticism didn't offend Orihime. No, far from it. She actually preferred being the cheerful one of the group because everyone always acted so serious. Sometimes, with certain atmospheres that lingered around Kurosaki-kun and the others at school, Orihime really felt like she was suffocating.
Not only there! It was the same in Soul Society. Orihime often wondered to herself if, even though Captain Aizen and others had betrayed the shinigami ranks, had they always been that serious in the past! It was such a shame. Wasn't it supposed to be "Rest In Peace"?
Even after victory, she still felt like she was drowning. Kuchiki-san had been saved and Kurosaki-kun was happy! So why was the air so...serious, still? Nobody seemed to notice, but Orihime was unusually quiet the entire time on the magic carpet ride. Even though Ishida-kun glanced at her, quietly observing her meek attitude, Orihime knew it was only because she kept staring at him.
Ishida-kun was different.
She should have said something. Should have asked him in front of everybody, but decided against it. Ishida-kun would come out and tell everybody when he wanted. Orihime knew to trust her instincts.
Yay! It's finally in. I wrote this little thing a couple of days ago actually. Anybody have any request? I should have a lot more free time after Monday.
