AN: Thank you, all you beautiful people reviewing! It means a lot to me:) But please don't strangle me for having cliffhangers (/.\) I guess I'm going to use Senna like I originally planned, that one review helped me decide. I do not own Bleach or any of its characters.
Chapter 11, Ichigo's Point of View
I toss my keys onto the kitchen table and trudge to my bedroom. There's no way I can deal with her now. Why does she have to come around now, right when I decide get closer to Orihime? I pull out my phone and read the text out loud, "Meet me at the Karakura Public Park tomorrow at six in the morning."
I throw my phone against the wall and fall face down on my bed. I let out an exasperated sigh and close my eyes, hoping to fall fast asleep.
I wake up on my own at five in the morning. I groan as I rub my eyes and begin to lie back down. Then I remember the message from last night. I grit my teeth and get up to take a cold shower. The cold shower relaxes me a bit but by the time I reach the park I am furious and ready to kill. I find myself walking to the area on the track where Orihime ran into me and fell on me. Also, where I took blood from her lips and kissed her.
"Well, I never thought I'd see the day where you'd be daydreaming, Ichigo!" I'm brought back to reality and infuriated with the sound of her voice.
"You!" I exclaim as I tackle her to the ground while grabbing her throat forcefully. She laughs while holding my forearm, it's enough so she can speak, "I'm glad to see you, Ichigo. Aren't you happy to see me?"
"What are you doing here, Senna? Do you have a death wish?" I ask through gritted teeth as I put more strength into my arm and hand.
She chokes a bit before pushing me off and responding, "You're too young to kill me with such pathetic moves. Hmm, would you believe me if I said I missed you?"
"Yeah, right," I stand up and dust off my clothes. I try my hardest not to snap her neck when she giggles in response and speaks again, "Is it a crime to visit my boyfriend? I mean, I am truly sorry for setting you up like that."
"I am NOT your boyfriend! I don't care if you apologize for the rest of my or your lifetime, I won't forgive you or take you back! Now tell me, why are you here?"
Suddenly, Senna is pressed up against me as she answers me, "A little birdie told me, you were getting pretty close to someone. I don't think I'd be happy seeing you with someone else."
I push her away from me and exclaim, "I am not yours! You have no say in what can and can't happen in my life!"
She pounces on me and kisses me. I freeze for a second but then react and push her away once again while demanding for an explanation, "What the hell was that for?! Leave, Senna. I want nothing more to do with you!"
"Don't get upset. I know you enjoyed it. I'll leave for now, not town, just the park. Be warned though, if you really care about your new blood bag, I suggest you dump her," She says calmly while sending me one last smile before disappearing.
I make a small circle as I pull at my hair in frustration. Orihime isn't my blood bag! But I do care about her. How can I leave someone I care about? I sigh in frustration when suddenly, I hear leaves crunching; but not near me.
I turn around and spot a figure that's walking away. That auburn hair, Orihime! I use my vampire speed to reach her instantly, she doesn't notice until I place my hand on her shoulder. She jumps and gasps as she turns around.
"Sorry for scaring you I just, Orihime are you okay? Why are you crying?" I ask worriedly as I notice her tear stains and puffy eyes.
"N-No, I just have a bit of allergies."
"Don't lie. You saw everything didn't you?" I ask knowing the answer already.
"W-What?" She seems embarrassed and flustered that I caught her. I sigh and pull her into a hug while asking yet another question, "Do you want an explanation?"
"Is it safe to talk here?" She asks worriedly as she wipes her eyes. I'm not sure it's safe anywhere at the moment. "No. Where would you like to talk?"
She doesn't answer my question. I sigh again but this time I kiss the top of her head. Orihime tenses up and buries her face in my chest. I smile lightly and whisper in her ear, "Let's just go to your place then."
Orihime nods against my chest and slowly pulls away so she can lead the way. I notice, during the walk to her apartment, that the scent of her blood isn't as alluring as last night. She must be upset.
When we reach her place and go inside, I ask nervously, "How much did you see?"
"From you choking her to her kissing you to her leaving," She says silently. I grimace as I think about how bad everything must've seemed.
"Okay, so everything. Well, if you haven't figured it out, I loathe her! I hate her, now even more than before. She is saying she came back for me but I believe she came back to make sure my life is ruined!"
"What makes you say that? What if she did come back for you?"
"She wants me to dump you!" I exclaim furiously as I look away from her surprised expression. I continue, slightly more calm, "I know we aren't officially dating but I can't let you go. I finally found someone worth living for," I stop talking when I realize what I'm saying.
"I-Ichigo."
"I'm sorry Orihime. I just feel different with you. I actually feel happy and human again, when I am with you," I say truthfully as I sigh and look over at her.
Orihime reaches her hand out towards my face. I feel calm as soon as her hand makes contact with my face. She caresses my cheek gently as she whispers, "Will we try everything to be together then?"
"Of course, Orihime," I smile at her and then remember my conversation with Uryuu. I take Orihime's hand and lead her to her living room. "W-What are you doing, Ichigo?"
"We have to talk about Uryuu and I guess I should tell you more about her." Orihime nods and takes a seat next to me.
I continue, "Uryuu knows I'm a vampire but he doesn't know you know. Let's keep it that way for a while. We talked last night and apart from that he wants to help me 'deal' with Senna. Senna is her name by the way."
Orihime is surprised but holds back questions as I explain a little bit more about what Uryuu and I talked about; as well as a bit more about how Senna is manipulative and the mind games she plays with people. I really hope Orihime never encounters her.
AN: Wow, definitely rushed, sorry. Anyway, I am so, so, so SORRY that I haven't updated in forever. I started off the chapter but then suddenly, no will to write. So I apologize for the hiatus. I'll try to update soon this time. Please review!
