Orihime couldn't stop thinking about Ichigo. She swore he was the one that brought her home. "Hello? Orihime?" Tatsuki waved in front of her face.
"Sorry, Tatsuki..." replied Orihime.
"What are you thinking about?" Tatsuki chided.
"Just a weird dream I..." Orihime started but stopped as she spotted Ichigo walking towards them.
Tatsuki stared at her friend and then towards the man coming closer. There was something so familiar about him, especially his facial features.
"Hi Inoue," said Ichigo. "Um hi, Aizen-san," replied Orihime. Then turning to her friend, "This is Arisawa Tatsuki."
Tatsuki. Tatsuki? Tatsuki? He shook his head and waved hello. Ichigo cleared his throat, "Good to meet you, Arisawa San."
As Ichigo walked Orihime to towards the tutoring building, he went into another mood. Orihime sighed.
She ran out of Urahara Shōten as her cell phone sent an alert. She looked around confused. Where was the hollow? She felt its presence a minute ago. There was also another presence which was quickly disappearing. She followed after it.
Aizen had messaged Ichigo tonight. It was time to bring The shinigami to Hueco Mundo tonight. But that was not to be.
"Aizen-san?"
"Orihime?"
"Tatsuki? Uryu?"
Orihime spoke first, "What are you guys doing here?"
"Uryu felt a strong spiritual pressure nearby and we ran over here," answered Tatsuki.
They turned to Ichigo. "I was just going to find something to eat."
Uryu looked at Ichigo hard. There was something he found unsettling about the man. He looked at Orihime. "We'll walk you home."
Orihime and Tatsuki said their goodbyes to Ichigo and followed after Uryu.
