Authors Note: Thanks for the great reviews! Glad everyone likes it so far^^. I'll do my best with it and this one won't be abandoned (authors honour and all that).

Oh and I should of said, the pairings will be mainly IchiHime (of course), RenRuki, and several others I'll be implying….I've yet to figure some out.

Warning: There's a dark scene coming up in this chapter (Rated M is started to kick in)

Enjoy!

Orihime took a deep breath and sighed in relief as the feeling of his stare seemed to fade as she headed back toward the main bar. She could still see his eyes in her mind, as they looked at her with an intensity she hasn't seen before. ''Those eyes….when I look at them I nearly forget where I am. I feel like I've seen them before, they're so familiar….no… that's not possible. I've never seen kurosaki-kun in my li-''. Her thoughts were interrupted by Tatsuki.

''Hey Orihime! How did everything go back there? So did they live up to your dreams?'' the raven haired girl said approaching her friend, finally getting a break from the crowd. Orihime smiled, still deep in thought. " Everything went fine, they seem very nice, but do you know what the best thing was Tatsuki-chan?…..it wasn't like how I imagined it to be.''

Tatsuki eyed Orihime suspiciously, unsure what to make of her nakama's sudden change of mood. Before she could answer a voice interrupted their conversation and the two turned to see a short, violet haired girl, not much older than themselves, suddenly standing beside them.

"Sorry to interrupt but I'm looking for the back room'', her slightly monotone voice said.

Both Tatsuki and Orihime slightly jumped at the girls sudden appearance.

''She must be one of them, she was so fast I didn't even see or hear her…..I wonder which one of them she's with''. Orihime thought while motioning for the girl to follow through to the room.

After the girl had gone in, Orihime retrieved more Pigeon Ruby and re-entered the room, offering a fresh drink to each person.

She noticed that the girl was in the corner beside the one with the bright red hair in the ponytail, and slight relief washed over her as she gave them a drink. "Inoue-san, this is Kuchiki Rukia''. Renji said before taking a slug from the bottle.

''Nice to meet you Kuchiki-san'', the auburn haired girl said exchanging bows with her. Rukia took a sip of the Pigeon Ruby and smiled at her, revealing pearl white teeth with two fangs growing out of the shorter ones they had previously been.

Orihime felt a mixture of fascination but yet fear at seeing them out and quickly averted her eyes before Rukia noticed she was staring at them. As her eyes glanced around the room she could see it with all of them…"Blood stained fangs….dilated pupils…I wonder if they can hear my heart racing''. She thought to herself, her heart pounding in her chest from the nerves.

As she made her way back to the door she glanced at Ichigo who caught her eyes. A slight smirk twitched at the corner of his mouth sending a rush of ecstasy through her; oh yes, she was sure he could definitely hear her heart beat now.

She quickly shut the door behind her, reaching for her coat and bag and muttering to Tatsuki something about feeling sick as she left, her face still red with heat.

..:Oustide:…

Orihime walked at a quick pace through Karakura, heading back to her apartment. It was dark out, but that was typical for a cold winter's night, and she didn't mind the icy breeze fighting her flushed red cheeks. Pedestrians passed her by and she couldn't help but eye them with suspiciousness. 'Is he a vampire?….what about her?. Are there vampire children?...They must be everywhere''.

She shook her head, trying to come back to her senses. She would not become paranoid because of vampires, "they co-exist with humans for a reason, they're nice people'' Orihime kept telling herself.

She entered the nearby park which at the other end, led her to the street that her apartment was on. Sighing as she strolled through the dimly lit grounds, she kicked the pebbles that were in front of her feet along the way. One hit the back of her foot.

Orihime turned around to face a young man grinning at her, which sent a shiver down her spine. She swallowed thickly before speaking to them "Can I help you, are you lost?'', her voice was shaky and wavering. The man stepped towards her, sending her one step back each time.

"I don't want to hurt you, I'm just looking for a bit of fun you know? Girl's like you just don't seem to be around anymore…that rack, those legs, you could make a lot of money with that body' he said calmly, still stepping toward her.

Orihime didn't know what to do, she kept stepping backwards, maybe someone would see if she could delay this a bit- THUMP. She had backed against a tree. Before she could plan an escape route he had closed in, leaning down into her face. There was nowhere to run.

"Pl-Please don't hurt me, I'll give you money is that what you want? Or blood? Are you a vampire?''. She croaked trying to squirm away from the grip he had on her shoulder.

He laughed, leaning nearer to her face "I'm not a vampire, and I don't want money, just your compliance for the next while''. Before she got a chance to answer, he forcefully pushed their mouths together while holding her against him. She could barely move as he ravaged her mouth, his tongue exploring her mouth like a snake. "Stop please…Stop. Stop…STOP!''. She bit down on his tongue as hard as she could and he stepped back surprised and in slight pain.

He had grabbed her wrist before she was able to run, slamming her up against a wall. With one swift movement he shoved his hand down the front of her skirt and into her underwear.

'No…no he wouldn't he cant'. She thought, panic spread across her face. Before she could protest he had pushed his fingers into her womanhood, watching her writh in the sudden pain. It hurt her so bad, this is not how she wanted her first experience to be. She closed her eyes, trying to block out the pain, tears streaming down her face, and then it stopped...

"What the..?''. Orihime opened her eyes to see the man wasn't there. A sudden scream rang in her ears coming from the trees in the middle of the park. Even though she knew it wasn't a good idea, her feet instinctively ran toward the sound, her eyes focused on the group of trees ahead nearing her. She didn't notice the blood beneath her feet leading to the shrieking sound, she didn't notice what she was doing was extremely dangerous.

Her feet stopped as soon as she could see the scene in front of her, her big grey eyes wider in a combination of shock and horror. A bloody mess lay on the ground no more than 4ft away from her, the body of the dark haired man lay mangled; his throat ripped open, his eyes still open, and what seemed to be his intestines were hanging out of his stomach.

Her stomach churned at the sight in front of her and she clutched the nearby tree for balance as she gagged for several seconds waiting to throw up. Nothing came out.

'What sort of monster would do that?….Look at him, he didn't deserve to die like that''. Orihime found herself crying over the body. An image of Sora (her dead brother) came into her head, when she found him dead his eyes were open like that too.

Orihime was so caught up in her memory she did not see the figure come out from the trees behind her. She did not see him reach out to her and place a hand on her back to get her attention. Orihime snapped out of her thoughts and spun around, nearly tripping over the dead body.

A pair of arms caught her and lifted her away from the mess, before setting her down again.

She was face to face with him. Ichigo stood before her, the moonlight shining directly onto his light orange hair. His eyes were black with yellow irises, but they began to change colour….back to that serene warm brown colour, and a surge of ecstasy coursed through her again. "Why don't I feel afraid anymore…..I feel…safe''. She thought to herself, still staring at him.

-To be Continued

Authors Note: I hope that was okay! I had to stop it there, otherwise I would keep writing and use up my ideas that I have so far^^

Oh and I'd like to know is there any Orihime other pairings that anybody doesn't like, for me its IshiHime and UlquiHime, not big fans of them tbh. I want to throw in another person to the triangle so please PM me and let me know who you like/don't like. It would make it easier for me so I don't get grief for putting someone in.

Please Review!
