P/S - I have like so many copies of this on my computer so if this isn't beta'd and you can tell then i'm sorry! It means I didn't use Mary-sensei's copy. Just wanted to get this up before I forgot again.


Ishida just didn't know what to say.

Thank you wasn't enough and neither was the simple 'Awe, man you rock!' that Keigo often used. There were no words, the Quincy knew, that he could say to show the appreciation he felt for her inside his heart.

"Ishida-kun...?"

Glancing over at Inoue, Ishida cleared his throat as he self consciously pushed his glasses up. "I'm sorry, Inoue-san, but I didn't hear you. Can you please repeat yourself?"

Beaming brightly, Inoue Orihime replied "Ishida-kun, I said thank you for being you!" Looking up at her, Ishida allowed a small smile to spread across his lips. "Anytime, Inoue-san." Watching her spin on her heels, bouncing in her 'Hime-chan fashion - as Chizuru often called it - Ishida knew that, if it hadn't been for Orihime, he wouldn't be who he was today.

She was his perseverance.
