Enjoy ! :)

I sat in front of my brother's shrine. My eye's empty, my heart slowly beating, I'm losing my mind waiting to see Kaito again.

Kurosaki-san said to wait to visit until tomorrow; it's been nearly twenty-four hours since I heard about the incident. I haven't eaten, nor have I slept.

Everything really does seem to be happening again, that horrible feeling creeping back; Loneliness.

I'd rather have nothing than to know what it's like to have happiness and taken away after such a short while.

I'd rather be alone than know what this feeling is like.

'I want to see him. I'm dying without him.' I closed my eyes tightly as I got up and ran to the door, I held my hand on the door knob until

DING DING

I froze, and of course opened the door.

"Oda-san!" I said surprised. "Inoue-san were you going somewhere?" She asked as I opened my door wider for her to step inside.

I looked down, "Yes I was." She turned towards me, "Please forgive me, but can that wait?" she asked I nodded as I closed the door and walked to the living room.

"So you have heard." I said lightly as I sat down across. She nodded, "My job is to always keep track of Inoue-kun until he has reached eighteen." She stated in her business like manner.

"Inoue-san you have raised him very well" I nodded, she smiled, "You've grown yourself Inoue-san, your a fine women."

"I'm sorry for being impatient Oda-san but beside the accident is there something you need to tell me?"

She looked me straight in the eyes, "You're being taken to court." my eye's widened, "What?" I chocked out. She pulled out a picture just like before and slid it across the table.

"His name is Okita Minoru"

This man... he looked just like my brother. Black ink hair, fine skin, dark eye's, "W-what is this?" I tried to say as steadily as possible.

"He is the man taking you to court; there is a possibility that he is Inoue-kun's father, and part of the reason why Hana-san committed suicide."

"You're telling me after six years after I raised him, he's going to come and take him away from me!" I yelled, "Where was he when he was all alone?" I continued. Oda-san put her hands on my shoulder.

"Inoue-san please, we still need to take DNA testing." I shook my head, "Inoue-san for now please don't visit Inoue-kun."

"What does that have to do with anything weather I visit him or not?" I demanded. She sighed, "If worst case scenario that Inoue-kun is Okita's son, you won't see him as a nephew no longer. He'll be a stranger to you; it will be the same with him also."

"There is no blood connection." I said monotone, I glared at the floor and smirked as I looked up. "Is that it?"

She remained silent. I shook my head, "This is ridiculous." I muttered and grabbed my keys and walked out the door.

I stood at the door while Kaito slept. I kept my hand on the doorknob and my head against the cold wooden door. I was ashamed, I couldn't open it.

I was scared to see him in the state he was in. It terrified me to think about it knowing he was lying there like that.

I opened the door; he was just lying there breathing lightly. I walked towards his bed and pulled a chair and sat by his bedside.

I grabbed his small hand, "Kaito..." I said lightly. I put my head against his hand, "Why does god play these awful games with me?"

As tears streamed; I began to stroke his soft ink black hair. My eye's widened as I got a short flashback to that man's face.

'He has that man's hair...'

"No..." I whispered.

I stayed silent as I played with his small fingers for awhile.

"Kaito we...might not ever see each other again." My heart was hurting and my stomach turned just by saying that.

Tears began to drop lightly onto his small hand, "I don't want to loose you."

I stayed for awhile and talked to him, confessing everything; even though he wasn't awake to understand me.

"Kaito I will never give up on you. Grow up to be a strong man; live well, be honest, and never forget who you are."

I planted a light kiss on his forehead, "Please don't forget me." I whispered.

I walked outside and saw a black car. I froze; I didn't show any emotion as I stared straight ahead as I walked the other direction.

"Wait!" A voice called, I didn't turn but I continued to walk. 'Please don't chase after me...'

A hand grabbed my shoulder; I brushed it off as I looked up and stared at him straight in the face. "Are you Orihime Inoue?" I looked down, "Why?" I didn't want to look weak in front of this man.

"Who are you?" I asked monotone. He took at pause, "I'm Okita Minoru" I stared at him in silence; he looked very much like my brother. He was the same age Sora would have been.

"I have nothing to speak to you about Okita-san." He grabbed my hand, "We need to talk."

I turned back, and snatched my hand out of his grip.

I walked towards his car allowing his offer.

He took me to a park where the cherry blossoms were in bloom. He sat at the bench directly under the Sakura tree; I sat down as well.

"I would have never have guessed you were the woman taking care of Kaito." I was silent, "What do you want?" I asked bluntly.

He chuckled, "You don't have much manners do you?" as he looked towards me.

"I have no reason to. Especially to a man taking me to court." I said lightly.

"I'm his father; I think I have the right to." I looked up at the sky and smiled,

"You're nothing but a dead-beat to me."

He looked at the sky also and smirked. "What a clever girl, your words sort of hurt though."

I stood up, "I'm not here to play mind games with you." he grabbed my arm, "Sayuki died because of me." I looked at him, as he stood up as well.

"Sayuki and I were childhood friends; we grew up together, and went to the same school." We began to walk, "Your brother also went to the same high school as us, though Sayuki didn't know him then."

"Sayuki's parents didn't care much about her. She grew up on her own as her parents focused on her little sister. She grew to rebel both at home and in school."

He smirked, "I was a fool then, I took advantage of her loneliness. But I always did love her, of course it was one sided."

"After she turned eighteen she ran away with one of her family's heirlooms, an old comb Geisha used. Her ancestors back in the day were Geisha in Kyoto."

"She lived off the money she pawned off the comb, it was worth a fortune. Though she worked two jobs to stay busy. She of course soon after turning twenty-five met Sora." I stayed silent as he continued his story, while my thoughts tried to process everything.

"Sayuki fell in love with his honesty, and the fact that he didn't have much of a family either won her heart."

I stared at the grey clouds above us. "You were jealous?" I asked, He was silent. "I think the fact was that she loved him a different way than she loved me made me go crazy then."

"She grew with jealousy because she wasn't the only girl in his life. Or at least the only girl he deeply cared about. She strived to be his number one in his life, but knew she couldn't be that one person."

I listened as it started to get hard to breathe.

"You were Sora's whole world and his whole being. Sayuki was only part of it, it killed her inside but she knew that it was the truth."

I tried not to think about Sora then, I'd probably start crying.

"It drew her on edge, to the point where she felt unloved by him. I of course took advantage of that as well thinking there was still a chance for me. This time was different..." He trailed off.

"She got pregnant." I finished, he nodded. "She knew it wasn't Sora's. She grew day by day with guilt as it built up. She tried to have an abortion without Sora knowing, I managed to stop her though."

I hated the thought of Kaito not being born.

"The day of the accident was when she was going to confess that she was pregnant with our child. But she never got the chance-"

"STOP" I yelled, he looked down at me.

"I-I've heard enough." He sighed, "I just thought you should know the truth...since you were also apart of it as well." He stated.

"I think the point here was that I was a twelve year old little girl! I never even knew my brother had a relationship! Or the fact that he was possibly dating!" I yelled. He put his hands up,

"H-hey, everyone is staring at us" he whispered. I didn't care, I went on.

"If you knew she was pregnant where were you? When Kaito had no one else in the world to care and love him? After six years why do you decide to show up? You dead-beat bastard!" I yelled as tears streamed.

I breathed hard, he just stood there. I shook my head in disgust, "How could you take the only thing I love?" I whispered.

I ran off after that.

SIX YEARS LATER

And he did. He took Kaito away from me, I lost. He won.

He was granted full parental rights and I was stripped from the guardianship I had over Kaito. When the court found out I had no blood connection what so ever towards Kaito; I lost.

Anything I would say wouldn't change their minds.

I even retook him to court to get some sort of rights over Kaito, but I was granted none. Oda-san advised that it wouldn't be good to visit Kaito or try anymore.

That I was just hurting myself.

"Has he ever asked about me Oda-san?" She gave me this look; pity. I knew he didn't remember me, I just wanted some sort of hope that he did...or even a lie.

The first couple months were horrible. I locked myself in my room and studied all day trying to get my mind off him.

I broke down and even went to liquor for comfort. I was a mess in distress. I changed drastically

Between the times I was in high school and now.

I was a sweet loving girl who never raised her voice nor spoke her mind. Though she was secretly broken inside only smiling on the outside.

Then she became a guardian, a responsibility that changed her. She wasn't soft spoken, she wasn't afraid to fight for what she loved. She finally was able to find herself again and her smile.

Her happiness was taken once again and she was back where she started. Trying to hide behind her fake smile.

I shook my head, as I stared out the window.

My dream came true. My bakery I started while college became one of the most popular bakery's in Japan. I owned 30 and I was starting to finally go international.

I was thinking of opening one is Italy and to study business there and their culture. There was nothing holding me back here; I'm a successful business owner with nothing to share it with.

Tatsuki-chan has bothered me over the years of dating and settling down. She's introduced me to countless of men. I of course wasn't interested.

She even suggested Ichigo.

"Well you know...maybe Ichigo?" I chocked on my tea as my eye's widened. "W-what?" I choked out.

"Oh come on Orihime! You're twenty-eight! You haven't dated or seen any men you were interested in the past ten years!" I looked down and sighed, "Why do you suggest Ichigo?"

She smiled, "You've known him since High school, your both single, he's a doctor and you're business women! A perfect match!" I sighed.

"Tatsuki-chan you know I gave up on him years ago. I don't even know how to love a man." She sighed.

"Well, hopefully we can change that."

Kaito POV

"Kaito?" I looked towards my friend Nobu. He looked at me exhausted "You didn't hear a word I said didn't you?"

I smirked as I looked the other way as he sighed, "Anyways, I need you to do me a favor. Can you fill in for our lead singer? He moved to Nagoya last week."

My eye's widened as I chocked on air. "What!" I exclaimed. He smirked this time, "I know your dad has made you learn piano and that you took up the guitar, you own me."

I glared at him, "Don't even pull that. What in the hell makes you even think I can sing?"

He crossed his arms as he smiled "As a musician I can tell talent when I see it, you haven't even tried have you?"

I rolled my eyes, "I question that."

"What?" He said deadly, "Just come and don't complain, you filled in for Takase-kun before." I sighed, as I dragged my feet a bit.

"First of all, that was for guitar, second it was only for two shows."

He glared at me for a minute as I silently ignored. "Well I'll tell you more about it tomorrow, anyways; I need to get a new clock mine always coming off as the wrong time."

I smirked, "That old excuse?"

"I'm serious! My clock keeps going off at the wrong time!" I shook my head, "Really dude maybe you just need to invest in a better clock."

I froze as I stopped walking; he laughed not noticing as he turned back. His face turned worried, "Damn it, it's not another headache is it?"

I kneeled down for a minute, "Ugh..."

Orange hair and a grey uniform...What is this?

"You make everything sound so easy."

Those words kept echoing in my head.

Nobu hurried to my side, "Oi! Where are your pills at? Don't tell me you haven't been taking them again?" I tried to laugh but it just sounded like I was in more pain, "You know I like to rebel." I said sarcastically.

I stood up as I began walking again, "Dude I'll talk to you later!" I called over my shoulder as I dashed off.

I ran over towards the park near my house and fell over on the green grass under the Sakura tree. I closed my eyes as my head pounded.

I was looking out a window; it was dark as the bright colors seemed to contrast to the dark sky. I looked back to see that women again. She had Auburn hair and peachy skin, she was beginning to cry.

I stood up and walked towards her wiping her tears away as she pulled me into a hug.

"I'm glad I met you Kaito Inoue."

I sat up again as my heart pounded furiously. Cold sweat was dripping as I looked around "What were you dreaming about boy?" I turned towards the voice it was an older lady.

I stood up as I brushed myself quickly, "I'm sorry to disturb you." I said quickly "Sit." She simply said as she stared at the cherry blossoms.

I obeyed the command as I sat down. "Your eye's are unusual but your a clever boy." she stated I stayed quiet.

She stood up as we began walking, "Come."

I wasn't sure why but I continued to follow that old women's commands. We walked for awhile till we were at the other side of the park I never went to.

We came across a house in the woods of the park. "I never knew there was house in the park." I muttered. She laughed "Of course not child, it's a teahouse."

I followed her towards the back by a huge garden and we both sat on the amber wood floor. Another older women came with a pot of tea as she sat it down and poured it for two.

We both sat in silence as we both drank our tea. "I had a dream about a girl..." I trailed off; she was quiet as she listened.

"It was like a memory or deja vu; she seemed too perfect to be real." I said as I looked across the garden.

She had so many wrinkles that you couldn't tell her expressions. "At the center of your being you have your answer."

I looked down, "What if I never find out? What if I never find her?"

She sighed, "Child there is no such thing as 'if' you will always have an answer and if not now time will pass and you will grow wiser."

"Don't be foolish and give up." I stared at her and smiled brightly, she spoke with so much wisdom. I don't want to give up!

"Thank you Oba-chan."

She let out a laugh, "I didn't do a thing child, just an old women giving advice. Now run along its almost sunset your family must be getting worried."

My smiled disappeared, "Yeah I'm sure they will."

Alright folks, I'm not sure if you all were expecting this but I maybe my decision for it to be this way. So what will happen next ! ? Is it just me or does everyone for bad for Orihime's horrible love life and the fact that she's broken : /

Yes I'm evil I know.
