Ichigo went home after school and thought about what he said to her. He scowl deepened and he realized that she was trying to tell him something important and he blew it and put words in her mouth without letting her explain anything. He was a jackass and he knew it. He got up off his bed and went downstairs and put his shoes on and coat on.
"Karin. Yuzu. Old Man. I'm going out." He yelled to them.
He walked to Orihime's apartment and was thinking of ways to apologize. Once Ichigo arrived at her apartment he hesitated to knock and then knocked on the door.
"C…C..Coming" she said. She opened the door a minute later and was shocked to find Ichigo Kurosaki behind the door. She thought she felt his spiritual pressure but was sure it was just her imagination.
"K…K…Kurosaki-kun?" Orihime said.
"Hey Inoue" Ichigo said awkwardly
"Oh Come in. Come in." She said as she moved and opened the door more and let him in. He walked into the apartment and stood awkwardly in the hall.
"Would like some tea or something to eat?" Orihime offered.
"No I came here for a reason and I need to talk to you." Ichigo said.
"O…Okay." She said.
"I want to apologize for putting words in your mouth and not listening to you when you wanted to talk to me. I was a jackass and I shouldn't have done what I did. I still want to be friends and I will listen to you now if you still want to tell me what you wanted to tell me today." Ichigo finally got out. It felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Orihime was shocked but started to cry and Ichigo panicked thinking he said something wrong.
"Inoue what's wrong? Why are you crying? Is it something I said." He asked worriedly.
"No it's nothing you said. It's just that you aren't a jerk or anything and I want to be friends to but what I have to tell you might change that." Orihime said.
"What is so bad that will change our friendship Inoue?" Ichigo asked
Orihime took a second to herself and thought she really is going to do this now. Here goes nothing.
"I'm pregnant with your baby Kurosaki-kun" Orihime whispered just loud enough so Ichigo could here and Ichigo froze. A million thoughts ran through his head and he was in denial.
"No." Ichigo said
"What?" Orihime said shocked
"It is not my baby." Ichigo said
"But Kurosaki-kun I only did anything with you." Orihime said crying
"Sure." Ichigo said sarcastically
"It's true" She said sobbing at this point.
"Whatever you don't need to lie to me." Ichigo said as he got up and went to go to the door.
"Oh and Inoue don't talk to me again if you are just going to keep lying to me about whose baby it is." Ichigo said as he walked through the door. He left Orihime sobbing in her living room. His hollow was giving him grief about what just happened. Hell even his sword was giving him trouble for what he did. But Ichigo didn't know what he did wrong and it got his hollow and his swords nerves.
Back Orihime's apartment Orihime was stuck sobbing and hugging herself. She knew she had to call Tatsuki, so she got up still sobbing and went to her cell phone and dialed Tatsuki's number. Once Tatsuki picked up Tatsuki was worried instantly because Orihime knew she was at work. Tatsuki picked up and heard Orihime sobbing.
"What's wrong Orihime?" Tatsuki said
Orihime explained everything and continued to sob.
"That bastard! I'm going to kill him!" Tatsuki yelled. Which caught the attention of her boss.
"Okay Orihime calm down and go lay down this stress is not good for the baby" Tatsuki said .
"Okay can you come over after work?" Orihime asked after she calm down.
"Yeah don't worry I'll be over" Tatsuki said
"Okay Bye" Orihime said
"Bye" Tatsuki said still furious.
