Ichigo X Orihime

Chapter 11: The Start

The Next Morning, Orihime's day was like the usual.

Wake up, Take a bath, Eat breakfast, Kiss her Mom Goodbye and then Go to school.

But she didn't want to do any of it. She just wants to stay home and sleep all day. She wanted to forget everything about school, her friends and her brother the whole day. She wanted to forget that she just set up the man she loved a date with another girl. She looked at the clock, it's already 7:30am, if she don't get up now, she'll probably get late again at school.

"Hime, Sweetie." Called her mother as she entered in her twins room. She found her beautiful daughter still lying in her bed. "Are you okay, sweetie?" she then put her hand on her daughter's forehead.

"Yeah, Mom. I'm fine" she smiled and started to get up.

"Want me to take you to the hospital now? You look really pale." Asked her mother. It was only natural for her to get worried, ever since she gave birth to the twins Orihime has been sickly since then.

"Mom, It's nothing serious. I'll take a bath now." She said assuringly and went out of the room.

After a bath, she immediately went to school. She didn't had the time to eat her breakfast though her mother insisted her on taking even one bite.


At the School

"Good Morning, Hime-chan!" shouted Neliel as the orange haired girl enters the room.

"Good Morning, Nel-chan!" She replied while placing her things on her seat.

"Hello, Orihime-chan. Good morning." Rukia says while going in the two's direction.

"Good Morning too, Rukia-chan" Orihime politely replied.

"Uhmm, about later have you told your brother? What did he say?" Rukia says in a whisper.

"I told him that you'll meet him later during lunch. But—" Orihime tried to tell her that she wasn't sure whether her brother would really meet the petite girl later during lunch, but she was cut off by a excitement squeal from Rukia.

"Oh! Thank you so much, Orihime. You're the best sister ever!" she said while hugging Orihime tightly.

Sister? Rukia-chan is so happy, and as a good friend I should be happy for her too, but Am I really happy about this?


Second period has started.

Ochi-sensei was discussing her lesson that is the usual, but Orihime wasn't listening at all. Her mind was filled with thoughts of her brother the whole time.

"If only we're not twins, then there won't be any obstruction in their relationship. People wouldn't be disgusted if we are together, because we're not in the same family. Neliel-chan would be happy for me, because Ichi-nii would be my first boyfriend. Rukia-chan might accept our relationship too because, Ichi-nii and I will already be together before she'll transfer here. Everything would become perfect, and there I can become really happy. Wait—If Ichigo is not my twin, then there is no possibility we'll meet. With my poor grades and his high ones, He is also in different class so we can't have any interaction at all. There is also Rukia-chan, he would surely fall in love with someone like her. She's pretty and intelligent too, unlike me I'm an idiot and klutz. My brother deserves someone like Rukia-chan. Maybe, They're really meant for each other."

With those thought, Orihime felt down even more.

"Kurosaki?!"

Orihime was out of herself, that she didn't even hear her teacher that she was calling her.

"Orihime Kurosaki!"

Still there was no response from the orange-haired girl. Ochi-sensei was really mad at that moment.

"Hey! Hime" whispered Neliel, while elbowing the daydreaming girl.

"Eh?" asked the girl who just returned to earth to her green haired seatmate. The latter just pointed directing in front where their teacher was.

"Orihime, Solve the problem on the board." Instruct by the angry teacher.

"Oh." Then the orange haired girl stood up and looked at the problem written on the board, unfortunately her poor mind couldn't comprehend how to solve the problem. "Ochi-sensei I'm sorry, I don't know how to—"

The angry teacher cut her off, "You don't even know how to solve this simple problem, yet you have the guts to not listen to my class. Study your lessons well!" The poor girl felt her knees become jelly, but she still tried to make them stick firmly to the ground. "I still can't believe your twin with the most outstanding student here. Try to become more of like your twin brother."

Ring. It signaled that it's already lunch time.

The bell saved her from anymore shame and insults. It was not new to her that she is compared to her twin brother. It doesn't even matter to her anyway.

"Okay, We'll have this problem as your assignment class—" Ochi-sensei didn't managed to finish her sentence when a loud bang was heard in the room.

"Orihime?!" Uryuu screamed rushing over the orange haired girl.

"Get her to the clinic Ishida, Neliel help him." Uryuu nodded with the teacher's instruction and carried Orihime out of the room. The two then directly brought the unconscious orange-haired girl to the school clinic.


At the clinic

"Oh my god! Hime-chan, please be okay." Neliel prayed while her bestfriend was carefully place in one of the beds.

The school nurse immediately rushed to Orihime carrying

"What happened before she collapsed?" asked the nurse, while checking the patient's blood pressure and taking a physical examination. "Has she eaten already?"

"She didn't ate with us, she said she wasn't hungry. She collapsed just after our dismissal for Lunch." explained Neliel.

"Miss, Is something wrong with her?" asked Uryuu worriedly while squeezing orihime's right hand.

"No need to worry, she just collapsed from hunger and maybe stress. A little rest will help her." The nurse says while preparing a glass of water and medicine in the table beside Orihime. "You can go back to your classroom now, and eat your lunch."

"But—" Uryuu was about to protest with the nurse's suggestion but the nurse already cut him off before he could complain.

"You students should eat too. I don't want any more students collapsing from hunger." The nurse says with a chuckle.

"Okay, Thank you so much, Madoka-sensei." Neliel says, then started pulling Ishida out of the room. "Come on, Ishida-kun. Hime-chan needs rest."

After the pair left the room, immediately came is a rushing orange-haired boy.

"Hime!"

"Oh. Mr. Kurosaki, Your sister just needs some rest. Don't worry too much." the nurse asked.

"Thank you for attending to her needs." Ichigo says and was about to leave when he saw that his sister is asleep. He was relieved on what the nurse said that Orihime was fine. He wanted to be there until she wakes up but that would be really awkward. "God, please look after my sister. I'm hoping she'll be okay."

Suddenly the phone rang. Madoka immediately answered it.

"Hello! This is Madoka Itou, Oh. Yes, okay I'll be there. Uhmm, okay Sir." The nurse says on the phone.

She noticed that Ichigo Kurosaki was about to leave, so she immediately called him out.

"Uhmm.. Kurosaki, Sorry for the trouble but can you look after the clinic for me?, The principal called for me, I'll just be out in an hour." Madoka says while going out of the room. Ichigo could only nod in that moment. "That way too you won't need to worry about your sister, you can immediately look after her needs." She added.

The Orange-haired boy stood beside his sleeping sister. He closed the door as to not let anyone enter the room. He took a chair and places it beside the bed his sister occupies.

It will be really awkward when Orihime wakes up, they didn't had a decent talk since his confession. He regrets being mean to her, but in that way he could also protect himself from getting hurt anymore. "I'll just leave immediately, or else I couldn't control myself when I'm left alone in a single room with her. It is best if I stay being mean to her, atleast people won't notice that I'm in love with my sister. I don't want to drag Orihime anymore in my selfishness, It's better if she just stays away from me and from this forbidden love."

Ichigo was still deep in thoughts, suddenly he heard a moan that immediately brought him back to reality. "She's waking up." He stood up.

"Ichi-nii?"Orihime blurted out when she spotted a orange hair the moment she opened her eyes.

He couldn't help it but say how worried he was.

"Orihime!?, You had us all worried. Why didn't you tell me that you're not feeling well?" he said in a angry tone.

"Tell you? Are you kidding me?, You won't even talk to me in the first place, How can I tell you my problems?" She replied back in the same tone as he has.

"Are you that stupid? Atleast, tell your friends or that bastard Ishida! And What the heck are you problems that make you so stressed?" he says, irritated and jealous.

Feeling irked up to her core. "You asked me what my problem is? It's you! Eversince you've told me about your feelings, you've been invading my head! I can't sleep and can't eat at all" her answer made Ichigo stiffen.

"She just confessed right? Orihime loves me too now." Ichigo was still shocked about what she's saying. Tears have started falling down from her gray orbs.

"It really hurts when I saw you and Rukia-chan were together, and what's worse is she's asking me if I wanted her to be my sister and help her with you. I don't want to do it but what should I do? I hate you, Ichigo! Why do you always make things hard for me? Why—"Ichigo shut her up by kissing her. This is the moment he's been waiting for. Orihime loves him too and the moment she said those words, he couldn't contain but acted with his emotion and started kissing her.

Orihime was surprised but savors the moment. "This is what truly makes me happy". She closed her eyes and started kissing her brother back.

They were busy in expressing their love for each other through breathtaking exchange of kisses that they failed to notice that the door is opening.
