REVIEW ANSWERS:

nypsy: Yes, once I realized that some of the Ichihime fics that contained either of them as a educational figure hardly existed or were discontinued, I decided it would be fun to create my own one :D and as for your questions and queries, you shall see in the next chapters as it is a progressing thing and you can't really bring salvation on a rape victim in one chapter. Otherwise it is rather rushed and it doesn't flow well.

ZZeronorth: Thank you very much, I believe so too! And as for you question, doesn't that always spice things up?

naleah: I know :( but all of her suffering will boil down to a choice she will have to make: will she let this ruin her life or will she grow stronger from this. I realize that you don't get over this just like that, so it'll be a while before she's even mildly okay, but it just might bring some couples together.

Jessica Lily 0890: Yeah, I felt the same way. I was going to make this as part of my One-Shot collections but I decided to make it a full story and that's why last chapter was a bit rushed. This one will be different and more carefully planned out. I assure you :)

THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING! *virtual hugs to all*

CHAPTER 2:

FACE OF SHAME.

*ICHIGO'S P.O.V.*

I watch Nnoitra rise to his knees, pushing himself up to his feet as he glares at me. "Long time, no see. . .Kurosaki." He spits my name with disgust.

"Be careful, Gilga, my sisters also use that name. Defile it and I'll cut your tongue out." I growl, walking toward him and grabbing his shirt in my fists and I raise my right hand and my fists meets his face over and over again. I ignore his pleas for me to stop. He should have listened when Orihime was begging him to let her go. I'm returning the favour. I'm bringing Hell upon this vile excuse for a human being, protecting my student. Mine. I can feel the hatred roar inside my head. The burning heat of anger spread throughout my body. I remember this feeling. Power. I used to be scared of it. Now I cherish it. Because now, I can protect them. I can protect everybody with this power.

I won't be a scared little boy anymore.

I will protect her!

I let Nnoitra fall to the ground, my knuckles painted with his blood. I shake my head, sanity coming back to me and I look at what I have done.

Nnoitra's face is puffy, splattered with his own blood. He looks unrecognizable. Some monstrous part of me laughs in joy while the humane part is quailing in fear.

What have I done?

I have become the monster I feared.

The monster they feared.

I have become 'White'.

*ORIHIME'S P.O.V.*

I open my eyes slowly, the bright fluorescent light assaulting my retina. I immediately shut them again and groan. My lights aren't that that bright are they?

"Orihime!" I hear Tatsuki's relieved voice. Ignoring the annoying light, I open my eyes again and look to see Tatsuki's smiling face, tears unshed in her brown eyes.

No, don't cry.

"T-Tatsuki?" Why is my voice croaky?

"Oh, Orihime, thank God, you passed out while I carried you here. We're lucky the doctors were able to help you!" Tatsuki rushes on, babbling on about how lucky I am and how worried she is.

Where am I?

I scan the room and it looks very. . .sterile and. . . white.

A hospital room?

But why am I in a hospital room?

Unwanted memories drown me:

That man. His cold stare, his lecherous grin. His slimy hands sliding against my body as if he owns me. The stinging pain of his weirdly-shaped blade slicing across my flesh. The agony when he pressed himself inside me.

I scream.

Tatsuki wraps her arms around me, but I'm suffocating.

Let me go!

I need air!

I thrash in her arms, Fear tugs at the strings of my body and soul. I can't help it.

I need to run.

I must get away.

"Orihime! It's alright! You're safe!"

I'm not safe.

I can never be safe.

"He's gone! Orihime he isn't here!" Tatsuki screams, trying to break into the haze in my mind, but it is fruitless.

He is here.

He's here in my mind. Repeating his torture upon me, over and over again.

I need my hero!

I scream as tears pour down my face. My eyes tightly shut. The next thing I know, I'm being pushed down.

NO!

STAY AWAY!

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" A voice screeches. It's mine.

"Miss Inoue! Please calm down!" An unfamiliar female voice beseeches me. I want to listen. But I can't. He's here. He'll come after me.

"Orihime! Please!" Tatsuki pleads.

I want to, Tatsuki! I want to. But he's here!

"HE'LL GET ME! HE'LL COME AFTER ME! HE'LL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED!" I roar, letting her know.

I hear a startled gasp and Tatsuki's sobs.

No, Tatsuki please. Don't cry.

"Doctor! She needs a strong sedative! She's uncontrollable!" The unfamiliar female voice explains.

"Rape victim?" A deep voice asks. I hear a loud burst, like a door being pushed open violently and the last thing I feel is a pinching sensation in my arm and everything goes black.

*ICHIGO'S P.O.V.*

I ran into the hallway where the nurse said that Orihime was being held, only to hear screaming that shock me to my very core.

Orihime!

I run to the source of the wailing and I burst through the door only to see Orihime settling down, Tatsuki and another nurse, holding her down while her thrashing and agonized and fearful expression ceased, replaced by a calm and peaceful look as she slept.

The doctor turned to see me. "Ah, Ichigo." Solemn gray eyes meet mine.

"Dad. . ." I whisper. His eyes flick toward my bruised and bloody knuckles.

"Son. . ." My father stabilizes Orihime and sits Tatsuki down as she stares at me, telling her not to leave Orihime's side. The nurse leaves. Then Dad and I walk away from Orihime's room and we go into his office. "What is your relationship with my patient, Ichigo?"

"She's my student. Tatsuki was on the phone with her when Nnoitra Gilga, you might remember him, he attacked Orihime on 2nd Street and using his favorite dagger, tortured her and raped her. Tatsuki and I ran to her location and I . . . I lost control. I made his face into mince meat before I regained my sanity. I called an ambulance and ran here. Dad, this girl, Orihime, didn't do anything to deserve this. She is the most sweetest and gentlest girl I have ever encountered or taught in my life." I explain, looking into his eyes.

"Ichigo. . .you have to exercise better self control. Whatever happened in your adolescence, I can't change. I wish I could have. I wish you were never part of that gang. I wish you didn't become the leader and I sure as hell wished, I understood the situation better before I confronted you about it. But whatever you do. You need to keep under control. Do not go down this path again. Or, Orihime, will also suffer. Just like Rukia has."

Hearing her name made my body freeze. "Don't." I implore.

"She is still in a coma. That's why I say-"

"DON'T!" I roar, standing up. "Don't say another fucking word!" I yell, looking into my father's shocked eyes. "I realize that Rukia is injured because of me! Because I was too late! I won't let the same thing happen to Orihime Inoue! She will not be tainted by my past!"

"She already is!" My father yells, making my head snap to face him in shock, "In case you didn't notice, the man that haunts her is Nnoitra Gilga, a rapist and a murderer! A criminal you used to be associated with. The criminal and his gang that haunts you every day and night! You need to look after Orihime! Do you understand me, my son? You are the only one who can save her from herself!" My father yells, gripping at my upper arms, shaking me. "Look after her and keep her safe. Just like you did Rukia."

I can't help it anymore and I fall into his arms, sobbing as I think of the young girl going through everything I did. How can I help her, when I don't want her to know that part about me?

*THIRD PERSON P.O.V.*

Two injured souls link together, bound by an iron chain, rusty and fragile, yet bound. A female adolescent who cries for the help of her saviour and a young man who desperately wants to give it but is afraid to show his dark past.

Orihime lies in the hospital bed, still. Silently praying for her orange-haired saviour, dreaming of him holding her gently, whispering sweet nothings into her ear, making her feel safe and protected. While Ichigo is in his home, in bed, shivering violently as he revisits the darkest parts of his mind. Thinking of former second-in-command when he was leader of the gang that still ravages Karakura Town: Death Gods. He had risen through the ranks quickly and he had beaten the former Leader: Kugo Ginjo and became the leader with Rukia Kuchiki as his second-in-command. It wasn't until another rival gang, the Espada wanted to take over and Ichigo engaged in a territorial war. That day, he lost full control of himself.

He became a beast with no soul. A killing machine. He remembers little of that day, only that Rukia tried to stop him and after that, he came to and she was crumpled beneath him, her body broken and bloody. He lifted her small body in his arms and raced her to the hospital just in time, racked with guilt, he ran back to Nnoitra and announced that he would step down. As soon as Nnoitra became Leader of both the Espada and the Death Gods, he revealed that he, himself, dealt with Rukia Kuchiki. When Ichigo went to retaliate, all of the Espada attacked Ichigo, hospitalizing him for months. That's when he turned around and decided to put everything behind him. He visited Rukia everyday and became a teacher and worked hard to help all of his students, to help them become better and stronger than he ever was.

Then this happened. His brightest and best student, who he had an unexplained attraction to, had been attacked by the same man who almost murdered Rukia. He snapped again.

He would help Orihime get stronger from this. He would be with her every step of the way.

He wouldn't leave her in the dark.
