- Good morning, Orihime. What are you doing here so early ?
- I have no time for explanations. Let's go.
- Wait, Hime. We didn't talk about what happened yesterday. You must not to move so fast. Take a seat. We can talk about what's bothering you and after that we can go to school.
- But...
- No excuses allowed. Did you ate your breakfast ?
- Not but I packed it my schoolbag. I was planning to eat at school while I was reading what you wrote yesterday, when I was, you know... gone.
- Of couse I know (She took a mouth of coffee) Let's eat together. I made some muffins.
- Since the last night. I couldn't sleep and I wanted somethig sweet so I searched this recipe and I made them by myself. I hope that they are edible.
- I'm sure that they are good. (Orihime took a big piece to taste, but she soon regretted her decision. The muffin had such a bad taste, but she couldn't say that to her friend.)
- So what do you think ?
- They tastes good.
- Are you sure ? Because I'm not sure that I prepared them all right. I put too much salt and too much cinnamon. Maybe I must not to put cinnamon in whatever I'm eating.
- I'm sure that anyone could sense that.
- Do you want to try another one ?
- No, thank you. I'm on diet.
- Really ? But you're so thin. Do you remember how hard was to find an uniform for your size. The director should to order one especially for you, but it arrived hard and you wore your usual clothes. I could swear that he did a heart attack when he saw that his perfect hight school has a student who doesn't respect the rules.
- It wasn't such a big thing.
- You're right. Because the director likes you very much because your work at the school garden. You succeded to put him on the first page on the town newspaper. He danced in all the school and he broke his less. He's such a stupid man.
- Tatsuski.
- Ok, ok, I will stop myself. Despite I know you for such a long time I can not to restain myself in front of you.
- I like you as the way you are, Tatsuski-chan.
- Orihime what do you think about Ichigo ?
- Kurosaki Ichigo ?
- Yes.
- I don't know what to say. He's a classmate with us, he's pretty smart, he has always girls around, ...
- Do you have feeling for him ?
- No. Why did you asked me such a thing ?
- Because he's an idiot. Stay as far away from him you can.
- Aren't you old friends ?
- We were.
- What happened ?
- We grow up and we had chosen differents ways. - Are you sure that isn't something more ?
- Ah... Hime, look at the time. We're going to be late. Wait for me here I will change myself in a minute. Do whatever you want since then.
- Ok.
Tatsuski exited the room and Orihime walken in the livingroom. She was so many times in this room that she couldn't remember. But today something was different. On the tea table there was a red photo album. It was opened t the middle. Orihime could see two pictures. One with Tatsuski and Ichigo at the dojo and one with them and with a beautiful orange haired woman. She was staying between she and the boy. Could she be their bond. Orihime heard Tatsuski's walk and she returned to the kitchen. She doesn't want to make her friends to fell odd because she was curious. After the black haired girl arrived in the hall they were ready to go. The road to school was short. Tatsuski was a little upsad on Orihime, but she couldn't be mad on her too much because she's like her sister. When they entered in the classroom the two girls were surprised to see the rest of the girls crying. Probably Ichigo did something stupid again. When they moved their gaze to his desk they could see a new girl with what Ichigo was talking. She seems to be new, but Orihime could recognize her. She's the girl that she saw in the previous night. But what connection does she have with Ichigo. The two girls thinking was interrupted by the Ishida apparence.
- Good morning Tatsuski, Inoue.
- Morning.
- Good morning, Ishida.
- What are you doing here, Inoue ?
- Nothing... Are we have a new classmate ?
- So you heard the rummor too ? Yes, we will have. She is Rukia, Ichigo's cousin.
- Really ?
- Yes she transfered herself from another school because she wants to stay much time with Kurosaki's family. I heard that she recenthly losed her father, but I don't know if that's true or not.
- Ishida, your so smart.
- I'm not like that, I only listen to the good information. Speaking about information did you took the notes for the yesterday.
- Oh, no. I completly forgot. I wanted to ask Tatsuski-chan, but we forgot thet the time is passing so fast so I forgot to ask her.
- If it's that fine, I will lend to you my notes.
- Really, Ishida ? You're a life savior. (And she kissed him on his cheek. Ishida blushed and Tatsuski wanted to laught about him but she will do that later when her best friend will no be around)
- I'm doing my best.
Orihime smiled and she turned herself when she hit herself again from the orange haired boy.
- Tsh... We must to stop to meet in that way.
- I agree to you. - Let me help you. (Ichigo give to her his hand but she refused him and she raised by herself.)
- I'm fine. Thank you for your care.
- Can you at least let me help you with your stuff.
- I'm fine, really. You must not worry about me. I can bet that you have better things to do.
- If you're wrong ? (Ichigo gave to her a determinated gaze what make her to smile.)
- Fine, you can help me, but be carefull. These aren't mine.
- I will.
Tatsuski and Ishida were looking at the scene between the two teens. They didn't say a thing but they were prepared to defend the girl in any moment. And so do they. Ichigo raised her hand in order to give to Orihime one on the notebook and in that moment Ishida hit his hand.
- What's wrong with you ?
- What do you want to do ?
- I was helping here till you make your inteligent move.
- Take care with who are you speaking in this way, Kurosaki.
- Or what are you going to do, Uryuu ?
- Why don't you come closer to see my answer.
- It seems that the swot have some blood in his veins. It's fine for me. I will accept your challange anytime you want.
- How do you say about now ?
Ichigo smiled and the boy started to fight with each other. Their fight was too serious like they were fighting for some important thing. Orihime wanted to stop them. She doesn't like went people do that to each other. The blood was flying in the air. The two boys have some blood on their skin and their uniform. Orihime was scared. She wanted to move her body but he didn't want to listen to her request. Ichigo caught Ishida and he puched his stomach. In that moment Orihime couldn't stay out of this. Beside she was scared till death she will not allow one of his best friend to be suffering any demages in the front of her. Her eyes were full of tears. She run without to thing and she covered his body with hers. She moved herself so fast that Ichigo didn't have time to stop himself and he hit hers back. She shouted in pain, but she recovered herself when she saw that Ishida's fine. Ichigo was looking at the scene and at his hands. He couldn't believe that he could hit a girl. When the teacher come and saw the scene she called at the ambulance. Nothing good will came after this. The big white car soon arrived and it took the bodies of the 3 teens. The light was fluctuating and so like that Ishida's life. Orihime was on his side and she was talking to him. He smiled. It doesn't care what will happen he's happy that he could defend her. When the ambulance stopped, some people in white took Ishida in the operation room. Who would think that such a think will make so many problems. Ichigo was taken with force to be checked and healed. Orihime refused the medical treathement till she will hear the news about Ishida's condition. People ware walking in and outside the room with blood on their gloves. Orihime was covered in blood but she forgot about that, she must concentrate all her energy and the good throughts on him. After some hours of waiting a doctor come to her and he said to her the patient's condition. Orihime's eyes were full of tears again.
