Previously: Orihime fall in a well,

Renji: Awkward Misconceptions

Orihime woke up with a start; an arm was wrapped around her tightly. The frightened woman turned slightly to see where she was, but not too much that it would wake the person next to her.

She was in a room; on a bed, with a person with long red hair!

Orihime gasped inwardly as she shook in fear.

'I'm married to Chizuru?'

"No you're not."

"Annette, where are you?'

"I am in the time stream, my fullbring sends people into the future but I can see what has happened through the portal."

Annette sighed and peered closely at the crevices of Orihime's mind.

"My powers have been used to the extent that I can only manage this much."

She grabbed what looked to be a faded book and blew the dust off.

The book had a brown leather binder and the title was engraved a deep gold.

"Oh, by the why, I saw some preeeeetty interesting things in your mind, like-"

She was rudely interrupted by the embarrassed maiden in question.

'Okay, okay that's enough; can you tell me who I'm married to?'

She managed to change the subject discretely… or so she thought.

"The only clue I'll give you is, who's the other redhead you know?"

Annette could not wait to tease the poor girl the moment she stepped out.

A slight movement of his body indicated he was regaining his conscience.

"Wait, enough talking he's waking up."

The arm that was wrapped around her suddenly moved and the man next to her sat up.
He yawned and his eyes set upon her. Orihime looked at the man carefully; making sure that it was not Chizuru. It was Renji.

She looked with great concentration at her 'husband' and saw it was definitely Renji, his hair crimson like the setting sun. The tattoos on his body had increased in number. They stretched all the way from his forehead to his arms and torso. A smaller tattoo of her name was placed on his left hand.

"Nghh… Mornin' Hime."

He planted a soft chaste kiss on her lips and she blushed, realising that was her first kiss. She froze for a second and instinctively hit him.

"Hey, what was that for?"

He rubbed his head and grinned at her playfully.

"Sorry, I just wasn't prepared for that."

A few inward deep breaths and she was back to normal.

"Okay, I'll warn you next time."

As soon as he said this he gave her another kiss

"Just kidding,"

He flashed another toothy grin at his 'wife' before getting up and walking to the doorway.

"I'll make breakfast, so you just stay in bed."

As soon as he went out of the room Orihime took out her frustrations on a pillow.
Feathers and fury soon left both the pillow and her body.
Annette chuckled at her naiveté before proceeding to converse with her.

"Ha-ha that was pretty interesting"

'No it wasn't, that was my first kiss'

"Technically you kissed him before all this and you made the first move"

'What, I wouldn't do such a thing'

"Hah, guess I have to tell you why."

Annette revealed to Orihime the book she had taken out of her mind.
She flicked a few pages before stopping on a page.

"Let's see, ahh here it is,"

She held the book close to her fullbring and a bright light shone over the two women.

Loud screams and moans echoed through the town. But no-one stirred.
Two figures stood atop one of many building surrounding the area.

"Kurosaki-kun the hollow's getting away."

She pointed at the retreating shadow, many hollows managed to slip away under the cover of darkness. They were now responsible for hunting them down and keeping the peace in town.

"I see it."

Ichigo sped past the whole area and managed to corner the hollow.
It shrieked, feeling trapped and it charged straight towards him.
What he had not noticed was a larger shadow towering over Orihime.

She instinctively turned around and erected a large orange barrier. A deft swing of its arm broke her barrier. It roared, grabbing her body and placing his vile mouth closer, closer, closer until…

SNAP!

A sickening crunch echoed through the dark, damp streets.
The smell of blood drifted ominously through the air.

Ichigo managed to defeat the cornered hollow but he was too late in saving Orihime.
What happened instead was a flash of crimson shot through the air and hit the hollows

face, it's masking breaking into thousands of pieces, scattering on the roof leaving
black blood oozing from the remains of the giant hollow.

"Are you all right?"

Renji held his hand out at Orihime who took it nervously, dazzled by the string of events.

"Thank you."

He seemed more wonderful and amazing in her eyes. But she could not even thank him properly as he left promptly after rescuing her

So a few days after that dark night, she bought a couple of what Rukia said to be his favourite food, taiyaki.
(Mind you she managed not to add anything weird to it.)

Orihime was sent to Seireitei to report on the hollow count for the month.
After the short brief meeting she skipped merrily over to the sixth division headquarters.

"Hey is Renji here?"

She felt happy knowing that she was able to pay back her saviour.

"Sorry he's not here."

"Do you know where he is?"

"Yeah he's over by the training ground."

He pointed over to the training ground to her left where she could see a faint red moving
in the distance.
She hurried over to his side where he had been resting under the shade of the tree.

"Orihime you're here."

He got up to greet her and Orihime tackled him to the ground.

"Thank you so much for yesterday Renji."

She gave him two of the taiyakis she didn't eat and bowed as a sign of respect.

"Wow this is my favourite,"

He smiled.

"I gotta go, duty calls."

He turned heading towards the sixth barracks but was stopped by a blushing Orihime.

"Wait, can you please let me take you out to show my appreciation"

She fidgeted and looked at the ground nervously.

"Oh no this is more than enough."

"Please"

"Fine,"

He held his hands up in defeat before walking off.
Renji turned around one last time,

"It's a date."

And winked at her before he continued to walk away.

Her face changed colour to that of his hair. Orihime didn't like him.
She loved Ichigo… right?

The night turned out to be fantastic, delicious food, wonderful company and an interesting
conversation until he kissed her.

His lips on hers, the taste of cinnamon, smell of taiyaki drew her closer.
But she remembered that she loved Ichigo.

"No!"

She pushed him away, shocked at the fact that she even did that. All she wanted to do was to show him she appreciated what he had done for her.

"I-I'm sorry but I love Kurosaki-kun"

His facial expression changed.

"I see, well you know how I feel about you,"

Renji smiled but his eyes told otherwise.

"I'll always be there when you need me"

He moved away from her, a feeling of remorse hung in the air.

The past few months they ignored each other's presence and Rukia felt
a wave of uneasiness whenever this happened.

So she interrogated Renji who said nothing in turn but whenever she
talked about Ichigo his hands clenched and they would tremble slightly whenever
Orihime and Renji's name was mentioned in the same sentence.

Rukia had deduced that Renji felt something for Orihime and Ichigo was involved.
She also knew that Orihime felt the same seeing the same look of longing on her face that she herself had whenever Renji was close.

After finding out that Orihime got closer to Ichigo she knew it was time to take action.
A letter was sent to Orihime concerning a certain 'marriage' between Rukia and Renji.
Her trap was set. All she had to do was get the two together along with a fake priest and she was done.

Rukia convinced Renji to go to a church with her and as the wedding music played, Renji started to get suspicious. Luckily, Orihime bursted through the doors but with a person she had not expected.

"Renji please wait,"

He looked around to see Orihime catching her breath and saw that she was with Tōshirō.
The tenth division captain took Rukia by her arm and dragged her out of the church.

"I-I'm sorry Renji, I knew you loved me yet I pushed you away,"

He remained silent.

"But you can't marry Rukia because I love you."

Renji was confused. Why would he marry her?

"I know you said you'd wait for me and what I said was selfish of me to ask, but that time you save me made me remember why I love you."

"And why might that be?"

He realised what Rukia had done and decided to play along.

"Because you're you and that's all that I need."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she poured her heart out to him.
Yet again no answer so she ran out of the church.

He hated her.

The doors had refused to open. She felt trapped.
But that sickening feeling in her stomach stopped when he hugged her.

All that needed to be said was in that hug.
That was all they needed.

"2 months later you got married and well, now you're living in the spirit world."

"Oh yeah, one final thing, you didn't happen to notice that?"

She motioned to Orihime's stomach.

"I'm pregnant?"

"Yes you are, but it doesn't mean you're not beautiful."

He came into the room with a large tray; on it was the most unusual combination of food.
Renji set the tray beside her and he placed an arm over her shoulder.

There was an apple, celery and cheese omelette, a glass potato & orange juice and a stack of tomato caramel chocolate chip pancake.

The mere smell of it had her mouth watering. Her eyes trained on its prey, she waited until the right moment to strike.

"How can you eat that slop?"

Orihime ignored her and set in for the kill, while Renji had a simple BLT and a cup of coffee. After eating Renji motioned her to change and took her hand.

"C'mon, I'll take you out."

He led her forward to the boulevard. Ballons and many people she knew in this world crowded the streets.

Screams of 'Happy Anniversary' reverberated throughout the streets.
Gifts of flowers and food were happily accepted and she thanked every single person profusely.

Afterwards, they continued on and Orihime felt sleepy, she closed her eyes for a moment and felt herself being moved; she brushed it aside and walked on with Renji.
The streets looked familiar.

Her took her into a large restaurant and handed her a bouquet he got earlier on.
A large bang was heard. The lights turned on and there were many faces she could recognise.

"Happy Anniversary!"

The restaurant was filled with all their friends and family.
There were streamers and banners and colourful confetti strung across the room.
Numerous amounts of food filled the tables which Orihime thought she could 'mix and match'. She took a moment until she recognised that they were in the human world; the spirit world didn't have burgers.

"When did we get here?"

"When you closed your eyes, I opened a portal using a device that 12th division captain made,"

"Anyways, happy anniversary"

With that said he gave her a final kiss.

"Thank you Rukia."

Rukia smiled at her along with her own husband and Annette opened up the portal to take her back.

A small red orb materialised outside of the portal which Annette placed in her pocket sneakily.

"Soooo, Orihime, I saw you had a wonderful time huh."

"It was great, there was so much food, I met everyone in the future and I had a sweet husband."

"No mention of Ichigo I see."

Orihime froze and was about to retort when Annette said something.

"Anyways you still have a lot more to go."

"So shall we?"

The boat turned around and they were headed for their next destination.

So what did you guys think? Is it a bit OOC or just fine

Any suggestions for improvement should be given to me as a reivew or pm.
