Mighty Orihime
Chapter Four: In the Spider's Web
The next morning…
Soul Society
Ichigo sat down next to Rukia on a hill and watched their children play together belong. Although they'd come to train Kazui, Ichigo still wanted his son to have fun with his new friend. "How're things, Captain?" he asked, teasing Rukia for her promotion.
Wearing her new Haori, Rukia smiled. "It's been a long road but I think I've done Kaien and Captain Ukitake proud." She fell silent as she watched her daughter play. "A shame Orihime couldn't join us."
"I know. But she still had her part-time job at the bakery. And I think she needed a little alone time. She's had her hands full with Kazui."
"You sure she'll be okay on her own? You said your dad and sisters were out of town and even Kisuke's gone on a cruise," Rukia pointed out.
Ichigo leaned back and smiled. "I'm sure she's just fine…"
Meanwhile…
With Orihime
"Nghh…"
Consciousness coming back to her, Orihime's eyes slowly opened. Through the visor, she saw that she was in a large dark room. "Wh-where am I?"
Remembering what'd happened before she blacked out, she tried to move but found it impossible. Orihime was dangling in the middle of the room, her arms over her head, bound by a while rope. She tried to break free but even with the strength the Karakura Raizer gave her she couldn't break free. "Hghhh!" She grunted and strained but it was no good. Looking down at herself, she saw that her pussy looked fine, despite being ramrodded by a horse. She also noted how she'd been cleaned up, though she still felt a wet dripping run down her legs from the horse cum still in her cooch.
A door opened behind her and she heard two sets of footsteps enter the room. "Who's there?" she called out, though she knew the answer.
"Interesting eveningwear, Mrs. Kurosaki," Vigo told his captive as he walked around her and came into her view. "Let me take a guess. Urahara?"
"How'd you guess?"
"I've studied the Vandenreich's Daten diligently for years and kept an eye on you and your husband as you fought Hollows for a few years. I don't recall you ever wearing anything this…exotic," he said. He crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. If he felt any arousal over Orihime's blatant nudity he didn't show it.
"What do you want?" Orihime demanded. "Ichigo won't be back for days."
"Yes, we know. We planned on grabbing you and your child and using you to lure Ichigo to us but we apparently missed him by a few hours. Our smashing Kisuke Urahara's communication devices feels premature since you couldn't bring Ichigo back from the Soul Society. Ah well, that just gives us more time."
"Time for what?" asked Orihime frightfully.
"For you to tell us all your husband's secrets and weaknesses. I'm well aware how powerful Ichigo Kurosaki is. It'd be impossible to defeat him in a fair fight, especially since we're a man down. He did defeat Aizen and kill Yhwach after all. But everyone has an Achilles heel." He reached out and grabbed Orihime's chin, making her grimace in pain as he squeezed. "You're going to tell us every dirty little secret inside that head of yours."
"Never!" Orihime spat back. "I'll never let you hurt my husband! No matter what you do to me, I won't tell you anything!"
Vigo laughed at Orihime's bravado. "I'd take you a bit more seriously if you weren't dressed like a perverted Sailor Moon." His expression turned hardened. "Still, you did kill Kristov and got the drop on Valentina. You're going to pay for that as well."
Orihime did her best to put on a brave face. "What are you going to do? Torture me?" she said with enough sarcasm to impress Rukia.
"Hmph!" Vigo turned away, clearly tired of talking to the naked mother. "Unfortunately I don't have time to torture you." He walked past her, but not before adding, "Luckily I have a specialist."
One set of footsteps left the room, leaving Orihime's silent tormentor. The soft clicking of heels echoed across the dungeon. Orihime stiffened as the steps moved back and forth behind her, hearing the strange clinking of metal. The waiting almost became torture in itself until the mystery Bount stepped around Orihime and came into view. "How do you do? The name's Biyu. I must say," she smiled as she took in Orihime's naked front. "Valentina wasn't kidding when she talked about that armor."
The woman was about as tall as Orihime, looking around eighteen or nineteen. The girl wore a Chinese qipao dress, black with a red spider on the stomach, and had her hair tied up in buns. "I won't talk!" Orihime told the Bount defiantly, glaring behind her visor.
"Oh, Orihime…" Biyu patted her cheek. "I do love it when you play the part. Now then…" She showed Orihime the whip in her hands. "I understand that armor gives you some special protection if what Valentina told me is true. Yes," she noted how glossy Orihime's bare skin was, reaching out and putting her hand on Orihime's bare stomach. "Whatever Kisuke did with that suit gave you a facsimile of the Arrancars' Hierro skin. It'd explain how you survived Valentina battering you around like that, and why you survived getting blasted by Pegasus's fireball at point-blank range."
"Guhhh!" Orihime groaned in pain when the woman pressed a hand on the burn mark on her back. It wasn't a severe injury but it was a clear wound on her otherwise flawless skin.
"So, you still feel pain even with the added protection. That makes this all the more enjoyable. Your higher endurance will prolong your suffering."
"G-get away from me!" Orihime swung her leg back, hoping to hit the Bount and break her bonds. But she obviously missed when the Bount simply stepped back then cracked the whip on her burn. "Ahhh!" She tried again to break the rope bounding her but it refused to give.
"Thinking of escaping? I don't think so. There is no escape from me. And even if you managed to escape, you've three other Bounts who're more than willing to kill you. Now then…"
Crack!
"Ahh!" Orihime yelped when the whip cracked against her ass, a thin red line marring her skin.
"That was for killing Kristov."
Crack!
"Ahhh!"
"That was for almost killing Valentina."
Crack!
"Ahhhh!"
"And that was for almost striking me." Biyu smiled as she hauled back with the whip. "And these…are because I enjoy hurting you."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Biyu was relentless. As if her arm was a machine, she mercilessly whipped Orihime's back and ass as hard as she could. Even with the armor's protection Orihime was in pain. She balled her hands into fists and tried to fight the agony. She had to remain strong for her husband and child. While she doubted that any information they could get out of her would be useful in killing Ichigo, she would never betray her husband.
The whipping continued for what felt like forever. Orihime's once flawless skin was covered in red whip marks, the Nano-bio armor being pushed to its limits. Tears stung the edges of Orihime's eyes as she tried to withstand the pain.
Eventually, Biyu finally needed to give her arm a break. "Well now, you're tougher than I thought. Even with that fake-Hierro skin of yours I figured a delicate flower wouldn't handle much pain." She walked back around to Orihime's front and put the whip in her other hand. "You've such nice tits. I'm kinda jealous." She hauled back with the whip. "Let me show you what happens when I'm jealous.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Later…
"NGHHHHH! Ahhhhh!" Orihime screamed as she sat atop a wooden horse, her arms and legs tied back with the same silky rope from before. To add to her torture, Biyu had attached pins with weights to Orihime's pierced nipples, her chest on fire. "Stoooop! You're splitting me apart!" she pleaded in agony. Biyu positioned her so that she was leaning forward her clit pressed into the wooden contraption and adding to the sharp pain. Every squirm and attempt to move caused the pain inside her to grow. Her tits as well were on fire, the pain in her nipples making her head feel like it was going to crack. The pain was enough to finally get tears to fall down her face.
"You like? How does it feel to sit in agony, every inch of movement making the pain grow?" Biyu taunted, standing behind the girl and her torture device, more toys in her hand. She took a riding crop and slowly dragged it across Orihime's sweaty back. "So, are you going to talk?"
"N-No!" Orihime screamed defiantly. "I won't…betray Ichigo!"
"How touching. You must be in such pain. A delicate little flower like you, you've never even tried to be kinky with your husband in the bedroom at all, have you?" she taunted, whispering into the woman's ear. "How does it feel to be in so much pain that you just want to die to make it stop?"
"I…won't…tell…you…anything!"
Biyu licked her lips, a gleam of lust in her eyes from seeing the armored Orihime so defiant. It was always so enjoyable to see the strong take all her punishment until they finally cracked.
'And if she is that resilient…' she fingered the spider on her dress. 'Well, then I'll have to give her an extra-special treatment. Isn't that right, Anansi?'
Later…
Orihime groaned in pain as she hung on a large rack, her limbs pulled in four directions, leaving the Kurosaki woman in more agony. Like before, she was too exhausted and in too much pain to put up a resistance when Biyu took her off the wooden horse, dragged across the room until she was slammed onto the rack. "Ahhh…ahhh…" she groaned, the pain in her shoulders and thighs from being stretched out unbearable.
Biyu enjoyed the sight for a few minutes, watching as Orihime tried to endure the pain. In her hands was a new torture tool. She walked in front of Orihime and looked down at her exposed feminine parts. "Interesting. I'd have expected you to be gaping open after Valentina had Pegasus break your cunt. That armor must give you some kind of small regeneration ability in your loins," she noted.
"Don't…touch…me…" Orihime groaned, turning her head as the woman fingered her cunt.
Seeing Orihime squirmed made Biyu's smile widen. The Bount had to admit that Orihime impressed her. She'd been taught the finer, sadistic points of torturing people by the Vandenreich and had plenty of practice ten years after its fall. Orihime had lasted far longer than any of her other prisoners. She pulled her fingers out of Orihime's cooch and licked them. "Mmmh, how nice. But back to the matter at hand…" She grabbed a remote from a table and hit a button.
"AHHHHHH!" Orihime screamed as the pulleys pulled back on the rope, pulling her limbs farther. "Guhhhhhhh!" She did her best to bear the pain but it felt like her arms and legs would rip off at any second. Her relief came when Biyu hit another button and the tension lessened by a hair. "I…won't…tell…you…anything…" she panted.
Putting down the remote, Biyu fingered the tool in her hands. "You truly are tough. Even most Soul Reapers would have cracked by now. I thought about using hot wax to burn you but I've another idea." Her eyes turned to Orihime's exposed breasts, in particular the metal piercings in her nipples.
Through the haze and tears in her eyes, Orihime looked at Biyu and was terrified when she saw that she was holding a taser gun. "W-wait!" she protested in vain. Biyu ignored her and aimed the gun at Orihime's boob, firing it. Electrodes shot out of the gun attached to wires. The electrodes stuck stabbed into Orihime's nipple before zapping her with electricity. "AHHHHHHHHH!" Orihime screamed at the top of her lungs as her body was flooded with electricity. Lightning surged across her skin, arcs of white lightning crackling off of her armor. Due to the close proximity to the piercing, Orihime felt like her tit was on fire.
"Aha!" Biyu smirked as she took her finger off the trigger. "I had that on the lowest setting and yet the result was spectacular. Apparently I found the weakness to that armor Kisuke Urahara developed. Whatever he used to give you that Hierro skin must be vulnerable to an electric shock. So then…" She put a hand on her hip and gingerly fingered the trigger to the taser gun. "Have we decided to talk now? Or is our friendship going to undergo a shocking development."
Her body bruised, whipped and battered, Orihime wanted nothing more than to give in. But she still had her pride. Once in her life she had a moment of weakness and surrendered to the Arrancars in hopes of saving Ichigo. After the mayhem that'd transpired in the wake of that moment of weakness, she swore she would never do anything to jeopardize her friends and family again. "Never!" she shouted.
Biyu grinned. "I was hoping you'd be difficult. I wonder what happens if I up the voltage?" As Orihime trembled in fear, the Bount set the taser on a higher setting and hit the trigger.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Orihime was in pure, unadulterated agony. Her vision went white as the electricity sizzled her naked body. By the time Biyu turned off the taser, Orihime was practically smoldering, her head slumping forward.
"Wow. I'll have to thank Kisuke Urahara for giving that suit such an exploitable weakness. Not to mention making you look so enticing," she noted, licking her lips. She grabbed the electrodes and ripped them off Orihime's tit. "Still alive? I'd hate for you to pass on and warn your husband."
Panting for breath, Orihime looked up at Biyu. Behind the visor, the spark of resistance had yet to go out.
Biyu laughed. Today kept getting better and better. "Hahahah! Wow! You are one tough momma! I haven't seen anyone take this much punishment and not give in. So then…" she tossed the useless taser gun to the floor. "It seems I'll have to resort to another form of torture." She reached down and fingered the red and black spider on her dress. "My Doll is a very jealous one. I don't rely on her with the same frequency as my colleagues. I tend to hog all my prisoners to myself and never give her a chance to help. But on occasion when a prisoner is being obstinate, I let her join in on the fun. Zeige Dich: Anansi!"
The weary Orihime watched fearfully as a glyph appeared on the red and black spider on Biyu's dress. The spider came to life and sprung from Biyu's dress, jumping up onto her shoulder. The Doll looked twice as big as a tarantula, its beady eyes staring right at Orihime. "Biyu!" The spider shuddered with anger. "Did you go and hog a prisoner all to yourself?"
"Well you know my tendencies, Anansi, " Biyu chided. "If you don't mind, show our guest here your tender love and care."
Orihime squealed in terror as the huge spider jumped onto her constricted body. "Ahhh! Get it off!" Sweat poured down the side of her face as the Doll skittered across her belly. "What are you doing?"
"Oh don't fret. Anansi isn't meant for combat like Oni or Pegasus," Biyu explained. "But she's useful in other ways. That rope that I saw you're struggling with this whole time? It was made from Anansi's web. It's so tough I don't think even your husband could cut through it with his oversized toothpicks. And she's another special power."
"Wh-what?" Orihime asked as Anansi settled itself on her breasts. "Get off!"
The spider looked up at Orihime. She couldn't read its expression but it seemed to enjoy her terror before it skittered up the woman's bare chest and sunk its fangs into Orihime's neck.
"Arghh!" Orihime screamed. The spider lingered for a second before taking its fangs out of Orihime and jumped back to its master. "What…what did you do to me?" The area where Anansi had bitten her stung before the mark morphed into a strange glyph similar to the Bounts' summoning.
"Very simple, really. Anansi's venom contains a hallucinogenic drug. It's not fatal. Not the first bite," she slyly added. "But it causes the victim to experience euphoria and loosens their inhibitions." The Doll on the Bount's shoulder skittered off her dress and made its way to a corner on the ceiling to watch what happened next.
"What…have…you…" Orihime couldn't finish her sentence. Her head tilted backward as a strange tingling sensation began to spread throughout her body. "What's…happening…to me?"
Hands suddenly cupped her breasts, gently massaging them. "Here, let's help the venom circulate throughout that beautiful body of yours, shall we?" Biyu teased. "I don't normally resort to this tactic. It's far more fun for me to break my prisoner with excruciating pain while I revel in their misery. But you're made of sterner stuff. So instead I'll take the opposite tactic. If I can't break you with pain," she leaned forward until her lips were inches from Orihime. "I'll make you melt with ecstasy."
Orihime let out a soft groan, her vision turning white as the Doll's toxin worked its magic. Her head felt hot and her mind started to drift away. "What's…happening?" she groaned, only able to focus on the hands massaging her naked tits. "Ooooohhh…" She closed her eyes and sighed, relaxing into the Bount's molestations. "Mmmmhhh…"
"Yes, that's it, Orihime…" said a voice, the voice distorting into someone more familiar to the housewife. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"
Slowly, she opened her eyes and didn't see the Bount Biyu. The woman's features blurred until she looked like someone else. "Rukia?"
Biyu smiled as the venom in Orihime's veins took hold, the girl under Anansi's hallucinations. "Hi there, sweetie," she said, getting into the role. She'd thought Orihime would hallucinate Biyu as her husband, Ichigo, but she could work with pretending to be the Squad Thirteen Captain. She reached for the cuffs holding Orihime and freed her, knowing that Orihime no longer had the strength or even the will to fight back anymore. As Orihime slumped forward, Biyu caught the naked woman and nodded over at Anansi, who leapt off his web and started to spin more webbing, creating a huge bed of webbing for the two.
"You poor girl," Orihime heard 'Rukia' say as she was carried over to what looked like a comfy bed. "You don't have to worry anymore. We took care of the Bounts. You're safe," the Bount in disguise told her.
"Ichigo…Kazui…"
"Are all right," Biyu laid Orihime down on the web bed and licked her lips at the delicious sight. She could understand why Valentina was bragging so much about getting the beautiful Orihime to have sex with her against her will. Orihime was quite fetching, especially now that her body and mind were battered. "You did well holding out as long as you did." She leaned down over the armored woman and smiled seductively. "Let me reward you for being so strong…"
Orihime would have been confused why 'Rukia' was coming on to her but in her drugged state as soon as Biyu's lips touched hers, the toxin that was affecting her brain made her easily succumb to her advances. Her arms lazily reached up and wrapped around Biyu and she deepened the kiss, finding bliss after enduring hours of agonizing torture. She felt a tongue slip inside her mouth and met it with her own, closing her eyes and letting Biyu's warmth heat up her cold body.
The human and the Bount made out on the bed of webs for several minutes. Their kisses became sloppy as Orihime succumbed to the Doll's influence. When Orihime broke the kiss for air, Biyu took the opportunity to lick her neck, her tongue circling around the glyph that Anansi made.
"Rukia!" Orihime panted, moaning when Biyu's hands reached for her exposed breasts. "We…shouldn't do this…we're not…training alone anymore…"
Orihime's trysts with Rangiku weren't the only relationship that Orihime kept from Ichigo. During the month they spent together training in the Soul Society, Orihime and Rukia found they had feelings for each other and spent a few nights sharing the same bed. After Orihime and Rukia married their husbands, they agreed to let the past stay in the past and love Ichigo and Renji.
"Oh, what's wrong with having some fun?" Biyu teased before she kissed Orihime again. Orihime's protests melted as she made out with Biyu. Pulling away from the dazed Orihime's lips, Biyu slipped off of her and undid the ties to her dress, stepping out of it and standing in front of the woman in her black bra and panties. She reached behind her and undid her bra, letting her breasts free. Her boobs were slightly smaller than Valentina's but still big and firm enough to make any man or woman want her. Orihime watched with arousal in her eyes as Biyu pulled down her panties and crawled back on top of her in her birthday suit.
The two women resumed kissing, Biyu's hands all over Orihime's body. Biyu spied Orihime's abused breasts and cupped them. "You're so big. I see becoming a mommy has worked out for you," she teased.
"Rukia…you…always tease me…about my breasts," Orihime panted. She responded by reaching with her gloved hands and grabbing Biyu's tits. "You've gotten even bigger too…"
Biyu smirked. Orihime was so addled she couldn't even tell the difference between Rukia and Biyu's bodies. She leaned down and licked Orihime's tender nipple, her tongue tracing around the piercing. "Mhhhhh…" Her pussy moistened from the taste of Orihime's breast. 'Torture always adds a bit of flavor,' she chuckled to herself before sliding off.
Laying on the web in a haze, Orihime wondered where "Rukia" went when she saw the woman standing in front of her, a new toy in her hand. "What…what are you doing with that?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Biyu chided as she held the double-ended dildo up. The sex toy was blue with multiple bumps along its shafts. "I'm going to fuck you with it." She got back onto the web bed and knelt in front of Orihime, spreading the woman's legs wide. She licked the head of one of the bulbous heads on the toy and brought it to Orihime's entrance. The armored MILF could do nothing but throw her head back and moan as her pussy was filled, her womanhood still aching from being pounded by a horse.
Biyu pushed the toy deep into Orihime's cunt, watching Orihime writhe with a smile on her face as she fucked her with the toy. Orihime's face lit up with lewd delight as her pussy was filled for the third time by a Bount, spreading her legs wider as she felt the toy's bumps hit her special spots. "Ohhhh! Rukiaaaaaa!" she slurred, licking her lips while her hands reached for her breasts and squeezed them.
"Look at you," Biyu teased, twisting the dildo and watching in amusment as Orihime arched her back and howled in ecstasy. "You know where the other end goes?"
Sitting up, Orihime reached down and touched the younger woman's pussy. "Right here," she grinned.
Biyu kissed Orihime passionately. "That's right. I'm going to fuck you. And you're going to fuck me." She pinched Orihime's nipple and twisted it, enjoying the face she made. "Let's have fun again, just like old times."
"Ah! Yes!" Orihime sighed, lying back down as Biyu laid on her back opposite Orihime. The Bount's head rolled back as she slipped the unoccupied end of her toy into her pussy. "Ah! It's deep!" Once the toy was firmly inside of her, the Bount grabbed Orihime's hips and began to buck into the toy. "Oh! Ah! How do you like it?" Biyu asked once Orihime grabbed her hips in return and began to mimic Biyu's actions. "The bumps feel amazing!"
With the venom pumping through Orihime's veins, Orihime lost her mind to the pleasure. "Rukia's" toy went so deep inside her and the bumps were hitting every one of her special spots in all the right ways. When Biyu reached down and grabbed the middle part of the toy and twisted it around, the pair's moans grew louder and filled the dungeon. Reaching down to her clit, Orihime gave her sensitive nub a thorough rubbing, sending jolts of pleasure throughout her body, the bonfire of lust inside of her growing out of control. "I'm…I'm cumming!" she shouted as her body moved beyond her control and climaxed, her mind turning blank. Her pussy gushed around the toy in her cunt, her will completely bent to Biyu's now.
Seeing Orihime surrender to her inner impulses was a massive turn-on. Bucking against the toy harder, Biyu felt her own climax come to her. "AH! Cumming!" she howled before she squirted, the two ladies soaking each other's hips with their juices.
Orihime's head felt light. She closed her eyes and felt heat wash over her, her heartbeat pounding in her ears. When opened her eyes she saw "Rukia" holding her in her arms. "Orihime, I have to know," she whispered softly into her ears. "I need you to tell me every one of Ichigo's secrets. It's important."
Her mind clouded by the venom, Orihime didn't hesitate. "Okay." Biyu kissed her on the lips in gratitude. Orihime noticed her armor's sword in the woman's hands, taken during her capture at the hands of Valentina. "What are you doing with that?"
"Just a little reward if you tell me everything," Biyu chuckled. She brought the hilt of the sword to her lips and sucked on it, covering the handle with her saliva. Once the sword was properly wet, she brought it to Orihime's asshole. The housewife gasped when the sword entered her backdoor, crying out in unabashed delight. "Now then, tell me everything…"
While Biyu fucked Orihime in the ass with her own sword as a makeshift dildo, Orihime started to confess all of her and Ichigo's darkest secrets. Most were useless to Biyu and the Bounts but the woman still listened anyway, knowing that even seemingly worthless information could produce a gold nugget of opportunity. As Orihime was brought to climax again and again, Anansi skittered across the floor and made her way to the interrogated woman.
Pulling the sword out of Orihime's ass, Biyu tossed the dirtied weapon to the floor. "Very good. Thank you, Orihime. You've been most helpful." She patted Orihime's cheek and kissed her sweetly on the lips. "And now, your reward."
"My…reward?" Orihime panted, close to passing out. She felt something crawl around on her belly before looking down to see a red and black blur on her chest. "What's-"
"Anansi," Biyu addressed, dropping the act. "If you please give Orihime her reward?"
"With pleasure." Anansi crawled up Orihime's front and sunk its fangs on Orihime's neck again, giving her a second dose of its venom.
"AH!" Orihime shouted from the bite. In moments, the hallucinogen wore off and she realized who she'd been fornicating with as Rukia's features disappeared to reveal Biyu smiling wickedly down at her. "Y-You?!"
"Surprise, Orihime. Did you like your little fantasy? I must admit, it was good for me too," she chuckled, gesturing to her wet pussy. "Thank you for all the intel you gave me." Hopping off the bed of webbing she grabbed Orihime's ankle and yanked her off, dumping her onto the cold floor. "You should have gave in when I was nice enough to just electrocute you. Now you get to feel what true agony is."
As soon as the blissful pleasure wore off, Orihime started to scream in agonizing pain. Her body felt like lead as she lay on the cold concrete floor, every inch of her body feeling like it was getting ripped apart. "ARGHHHHHHHH!"
Sitting down on the bed, Biyu listened to Orihime's screaming like she was listening to her favorite song. "Mmmmh, that's quite the scream you've got. How are you liking a second dose of Anansi's poison?" The Doll in question crawled over to its master and disappeared into her clothing once more. "One bite sends the victim into a euphoric stupor. The second bite, however, overloads the nervous system and replaces that pleasure with pain. Imagine the worst pain you've ever imagine times a thousand. Now imagine that pain spread out to every part of your body. Oh wait, you don't need to imagine," she said as Orihime rolled onto her back and her face showed the pain she was in. "You're experiencing it right now."
"AHHHHHHHH!" Orihime cried tears as the pain only grew more and more, her head feeling like it was splitting open. "AGHHHHHHHHH!"
"Don't worry, in your condition, you won't last long. Maybe a few hours before your heart gives out." Biyu hopped off the bed and walked past Orihime. "I've gotten all the information I can out of you. Vigo doesn't have any need for you anymore. You can lay there and die now." Biyu licked her lips as she imagined the future sight of Orihime lying dead on the floor. "We'll have ourselves a feast afterwards." Since Orihime would not die a natural death, her soul would linger here in the World of the Living with no Soul Reaper to perform a Konso and leaving her a delicious dish for the soul-eating Bounts.
Orihime didn't hear Biyu leave. Her screaming drowned out the Bount's retreating footsteps and the sound of the door closing. 'It hurts…it hurts so much…' Orihime thought, tears running down her face. 'Ichigo…Uryu…Chad…Rukia…anyone…save me…'
But nobody would come. Orihime was alone. There would be no rescue this time. And now, Orihime was slowly dying. Gritting her teeth, Orihime reached for her helmet and tried to pull it off. If she could free her hairpins, she could use her Shun Shun Rikka to quell the poison inside her. But Kisuke did not design the helmet to be removed forcefully. She couldn't take it off. Her strength failing her again, the mother lay on the ground and continued to scream in agony. She curled up into a ball and shivered, trying to think of a way out of this. Then she remembered.
'The…the deactivation switch!'
Looking down at her wrist, she saw the tiny button on the side of the gauntlet. Gritting her teeth, the young woman reached with all the strength she had left in her arms and pressed the button. Her armor glowed pink before it disappeared from her body. Unlike before, however, her clothes did not return to her, leaving her completely naked on the floor. It appeared that Orihime had spent too long in the Karakura Raizer armor to get her clothes back. But her hairpins still remained. "I…I reject…" she whimpered, gathering what little willpower she had left.
Her hairpins lit up and her spirits arrived. Her healing spirits, Ayame and Shun'ō, were appalled to see the state she was in and quickly scrambled to put the healing barrier over her. Little by little, Orihime's body was purged of Anansi's venom as it was rejected out of existence. Even better, her beaten, battered body healed as well, the burn on her back fading away.
Opening her eyes, Orihime sat up and took deep breaths, the pain in her body gone now. "Thank you," she told her spirits before they returned to her. "Now, I have to get out of here." Standing up, she looked around to find some clothes. But all the dungeon had to offer were torture tools and sex toys. Sighing in resignation, Orihime decided to activate her armor once more. "I guess its protection is better than nothing," she reasoned.
She headed for the door to the dungeon and opened it. It seemed Biyu did not think Orihime capable of moving after poisoning her and didn't see the need to lock her inside. Sticking her head out the doorway, the scantily-clad Orihime dashed out into the hallway and began her search for a way out of the Bount's hideout.
To be continued
