Months had passed with Orihime being in soul society and she had gained great strength. Battling against Renji, Rukia and even captain Toshiro Hystugaya. They had been timed battles of over fifteen minutes used for battle strategy, stamina and power. Rukia was proud of how strong she had gotten and today she was going to head captain to get Orihime out of squad 4 and into a stronger squad. Knocking on the heavy doors Rukia announced her presence.
"Ruki Kuchiki Squad 13 requesting for entrance!" said Rukia.
The wooden doors slowly creeked open and Rukia moved until she stood in front of head captain Yamamoto. Bowing she looked at him.
"What brings you hear Ms. Kichiki?" asked the head captain.
"It is about Orihime Inoue," said Rukia," I wish to see her placed in a new squad. She has gotten stronger. Fighting skills strong."
"Hmmm," said the captain," I'll consider. I'll gather some captains to see if she is worthy. Inform your captain for me. I'll send some hell butterflies to Hisigai, Zaraki, and his lieutenant along with captain Unohana since she will be the majority to say if Orihime is ready to move on or not. After that they will report to me and if she is ready I will choose a new squad for her."
"Thank you sir," said Rukia.
Rukia bowed before she left to tell Orihime the great news.
Orihime stretched and got out of bed. She was ready to serve another day in squad four. She didn't mind since she was a great healer being able to use her flowers and kidou. It helped when other soul reapers were really hurt. It still felt weird though. Squad four rarely were put on missions and she was not very likely to be put on a mission but she wished she would be able to. Go out of seretie to do something. Orihime wanted to go to the world of the living but never held on to the wish to hard since she knew it wouldn't be easy for would have to serve a little longer. World of the living missions had to do with something important or just to watch over a certain town. Sighing Orihime walked out of her room only to clash into someone. Getting up Orihime held out her hand only to grab Hanataro's hand.
"I'm sorry," Hanataro said in a quiet voice.
"It's okay," said Orihime," it was my fault. Were you caring anything?"
"No," he said," just on my way to do some things. Where were you headed?"
"To heal the injured," she said," same old same old."
"Well I got to go," he said," bye."
"Bye," she said.
Just as Orihime began to walk away she heard Hanataro mutter something. Orihime turned around to face him and him her.
"I forgot to tell you something," said Hanataro," Rukia told me to tell you to meet where you first trained with her."
Orihime nodded her head and thanked Hanataro for informing her. Walking away Orihime flash stepped making it there to see the captain of squad 13, squad 4 and squad 11 along with the lieutenant of squad 11 and squad 9.
"Hello captains and lieutenants," said Orihime," may I ask why you are gathered here?"
"To see if you're worthy to leave squad four," said captain Unohana.
"Oh," said Orihime.
"We will have you fight against our choice of shinigami," said Unohana.
"Kira," said Hisagi.
"I'll choose whoever Ken-chan chooses," said Yachiru
"Rukia," said Ukitake
"Hisagi," said Zaraki.
"Renji," said Unohana
Kira flash stepped and almost attack Orihime and would have been injured if she had not unsheathed her sword. Rukia tried to attack from behind having Orihime push away Kira to clash swords with Rukia. Orihime would try her best not to use her flowers to prove she was stronger and try to not use shikai until absolutely necessary. Orihime knew all the powers of her opponents. Hisagi's sword being deadly, Kira when he used shikai made things twice as heavy,Rukia had the snow and ice powered sword,Renji had zabimaru which was deadly. How was she going to go against the lieutenants?
"Try your best" Orihime whispered to herself, "Arms that dismay,and cause back the strength of the danger now. Sai!"
Orihime used the spell on Kira binding his arms and hit the sword out of his arm. Orihime knew the spell wouldn't keep the man binded for long but it would help keep her down for a while.
"Hado 31 shakkaho!" Rukia cried.
Orihime flash stepped away from the red flamed kidou.
"Hado 33 Soukatsui!" cried Orihime.
Orihime thought she had hit Rukia when a cloud of smoke formed and was ready for her next attack until she heard Renji yell "Roar Zabimaru!" Orihime had no idea where Renji was and all she could do was flash step into the sky and have spiritual pressure under her feet. Looking down at the battle field she couldn't see Renji. There was a faint chuckled from behind her and Orihime turned just in time to barely escape Renji's attack. Blood formed from under her uniform and she had to think quickly. Take out Rukia. She was powerful but if she could manage to get one person out it made it easier.
"Swirl defeat and protect Shigeru!" cried Orihime," Shigeru shadow."
Orihime used the shadows to bind Rukia like she had done in their first battle.
"Shigeru ice!" Orihime cried.
The mixture of wind and ice flew threw the sky freezing Rukia in place. She had focused more on defeating Rukia that she forgot about the others. A sudden pain went through Orihime's back having blood drain her body and move down her back. Turning around she saw Hisagi. He had not used shikai yet Orihime would fear him once he did release it.
"Shigeru," said Orihime
Using the wind to propel herself away from Hisagi and managing to see everyone she looked for an was half tempted to fight based on kidou and place Shigeru back in it's sheath but that would be stupid. Orihime didn't want to hurt them but she wanted to get to a new squad. Kira released his zankpaktou and Orhime was about to use her sword but she remember what Kira's sword could do.
"Saten Kesshun!" said Orihime.
Orihime had said the recantation in time since Kira's sword had not hurt the shield. Placing it down Orihime cut Kira's arm that held the sword causing Kira to drop it. Kira had to flash step to grab it. Orihime would apologize to everyone by healing them.
"Shigeru lightening!" said Orihime.
She knew Hisagi was still standing and she moved the attack towards him hitting Hisagi but not with many volts because she didn't want to hurt the man.
"Gonna take more than that to take me down," Hisagi said as he got up.
"But I'm not wanting to hurt you," Orihime quietly whispered.
Orihime wanted the battle to end wanted to know what she was being tested on. Orihime was slashed by Renji in the right shoulder and screamed from pain. The blood spurted out and Orihime gripped her sword.
"Shigeru!" said Orihime.
Using the power of wind Orihime struck Renji having it slam Renji into the forest ground and into the tree that he was beside. Renji coughed up blood and smiled up at Orihime.
"This is gonna be fun," said Renji.
Orihime glided down with power to go and attack Renji but Hisagi flash stepped in front of her. Orihime halted and held her sword up feeling the blood trickle down her back side.
"Reap Kazeshini," said Hisagi.
Orihime held her sword in defense and watched as Hisagi moved his sword forward swinging it. Orihime dodged and moved down knowing that the sword would come back attacking her from behind. Orihime forgot about the second sword and it slashed against her chest and just as it struck her she moved back. She would not use her healing powers in this chest.
"Shigeru shadow," said Orihime.
Orihime binded Hisagi and turned to see where Renji and Kira were. Kira had broken free from the seal and Renji took his time to attack. Orihime couldn't take her eyes off of Hisagi but she couldn't take her eyes off Renji either. Why was it five against one. Ichigo could handle this and she wasn't Ichigo. She was Orihime Inoue.
You can do this said her zankpaktou, I will be your eyes. I will warn you when Renji is about to attack you or when Kira will attack us. Use your Saten Kisshun and not me. You're getting weak.
Yes I know I told Shigeru thank you for helping me.
How could I not? She asked and laughed you are my wielder and master. Without you we are not one.
Orihime nodded her head in agreement taking note of her surroundings. Her breath was ragged and her eyes searched the area while he head did not move.
dodge left! cried Shigeru.
Doing so Orihime watched as Zabimaru moved by. That was close. Turning around Orihime face Renji.
"Shiger fire!" Orihime yelled.
Using great speed she watched as the fire struck Renji having his attire catch on fire and as he dropped on the grass having the fire stop she notice the slight burns. A small tear trickled down her face but she continued. Using her sword she clashed it against Hisagi's.
"Stop!" yelled a voice.
Orihime turned to see Ukitake.
"The battle is over," he said," Orihime Inoue you can finish by healing people."
Sighing in relief Orihime smiled and moved down to release Rukia from the ice she was captured in using a little of Shigeru's fire to defrost it.
"Can I have the injured gather around Rukia?" Orihime asked.
The man moved towards Rukia and she called for Ayame and shuno. Soten Koushun was her newest power but she didn't get much of a chance to use it.
"Stay still," said Orihime.
"Ms. Inoue," said Unohana.
"Yes?" asked Orihime.
"Congradulations,," said Unohana," I do believe you are qualified to continue to another squad."
"As do I," said Zaraki," your powers aren't all brutal force but you can hurt you opponent at least."
"I agree with Ken-chan," said Yachiru.
"Youdid great Orihime," said Ukitake," I like how you have strengthened. More training and soon going against five soul reapers will be easy."
"You did good," said Hisagi," don't hold back next time because I won't. But other than that I think you should move on to a different squad"
Orihime waited until everyone was healed before she dismissed herself. According to Orhime she had to wait until a soul reaper would come by to tell her to come to squad 1 barrack to see whether or not she passed the test and would move on. Landing on her bed she sighed and looked at the ceiling until she was called. Her body was swore and when she got up to see blood on her matress she realized that she still hadn't healed herself.
"Soten shishun,"said Orihime.
Ayame and shuno worked at the injuries all over her body and soon after Orihime felt rejuvenated. A hell butterfly gracefully entered her room telling her it was okay to enter the barracks of squad one. Smiling Orihime moved Orihime knocked on the wood.
"Orihime Inoue squad 4," said Orihime," permission to enter."
"Yes!" said a voice behind the door.
The door opened and entered slowly when the gates fully opened. She made it to see the head captain Yamazmoto, Ukitake and Unohana.
"Congratulations," said Unohona.
"Welcome to squad 13," said Ukitake.
