Making A Change

Grimmjow

Every minute that passed by made me realize something. Something that I should have realized the moment I saw this girl, and it wasn't that I loved her. No, it was far from something like that, I could never could never love someone like the girl laying next to me.

I looked over and silently watched her sleeping form move up and down as she breathed. Letting out a sigh, I continued to watch and pondered more on what exactly she was for me- more like to me.

"She's making you soft, distance is the only way to..."

No! I couldn't finish that line of thought for some reason, every time my mind wandered back to that my chest hurt a little, this was it, I had to leave.

And I would have to stay gone.

Orihime

Awaking from this nightmare...was a necessity. Bad things, VERY bad things were happening and all of my current thoughts just screamed out in horror. All of this was just leaving me wondering what I did exactly..to deserve this type of torture.

There was water, or what I guess you could call water. It consisted of this tar-like substance that pulled you under the more tried to struggle to get away from it. Calling out for those that walked past me, proved to be useless and a bit of an inconvenience to them all.

My hopes sky rocketed as soon as I saw Rangiku, Rukia, and Tatsuki and they all seem to want to help me ,but just couldn't. The others that walked by, gave them nasty glares and looks as if they killed all of their first born child or something.

These looks, forced my 'friends' to retreat and go on about their business- this brought a satisfied smirk to the faceless people walking around me. Just when my head went under the surface, I was yanked painfully by my wrist while sputtering the murky stuff at whoever it was that pulled me up.

My eyes blinked open to greet the disapproving blues of Grimmjow. He set me down on my feet and brushed off his face nonchalantly, and calmly turned his back on me.

As he walked further and further away, I saw my traitor of an arm and hand reach out towards him.

"Wait please...don't...stop"

His footsteps faltered and stopped for a good five seconds, his head tilted back towards me. It was almost like he was expecting me to say something...do something...I didn't know what I was going to ask of him.

The footsteps continued to venture further off into the distance, my frustration reached its peak from me not being able to speak my mind around him.

"Please..don't leave Grimmjow" I whispered. (More to myself than him)

Looking up, he was so close. His breath made the tips of my hair covering my eyes flutter, and a slight blush crept over my face. Was this a confession? Did I want...us to be a...thing?

I saw his smirk from the spaces between the hair covering my face.

"Onna, you shouldn't be asking someone like me to stay"

Next thing I know, I was shoved back into the tar substance...this time he watched as I went under and didn't bother to help me out.

Gasping for air, I reached out for absolutely nothing when I woke up. Sweat lined around my forehead and my hands were nervously un-clenching and clenching the sheets as I desperately looked around for Grimmjow.

Using my limited hearing, I listenend very closely to any type of noises coming from inside my house. To my disappointment, the only thing that got me was the honks and horns of the cars outside.

Curling up into a ball in my bed, I couldn't figure out wether I want to cry or just totally ignore what just happened. My feelings were so jumbled and confused that it left my face blank, not even Ichigo (when I first saw him) made me feel this confused.

'Thats enough Orihime! You've got to stop relying on guys so much..make a change and stand up for you' I encouraged myself.

Sitting up, I got out of bed and went into the bathroom. I threw on a simple v-neck, blue jeans, and black boots with black, pearl earrings.

Twisting and biting my lip in thought, I spotted the scissors and an idea popped into my head. Orange, long, slightly wavy locks fell to the ground as I cut my hair to the bottom of my neck. Next, I curled my now short locks and put on two, thin, small bracelets to match with my outfit and left my room.

I toke the elevator to my rows of cars and sighed, just wishing someone could just pick for me or something. Closing my eyes and throwing my fingers in akward and weird directions, I opened my eyes to see it landed on the burnt orange Gallardo roadster.

Sighing, I hoped in and drove towards the mall.

I smiled when I met up with my hair stylist, Alexia.

"My god! What have you done to your beautiful long hair?!" she screeched.

Giggling at her over dramaticness, I grabbed both of her hands.

"I needed something new, a change really I'm tired of the old me and ready to start over"

She nodded. "Amen to that, so you came for a touch up?"

Nodding, she smiled and led me into her shop to improve my new look.

Stepping out of the hair salon, but not before giving Alexia my thanks, I headed towards the mall for new clothes.

I stepped into forever twenty one just to buy new jeans and then into Guess for a couple of shirts and shoes. After my shopping I hopped back into my Gallardo roadster, and zipped straight home.

*School Day: Tuesday*

I dredded waking up today, just getting out of my bed to go to my bathroom and getting ready mildly depressed me. Today, there's a chance I'll see Grimmjow but I don't know what'll happen or what his reaction to my new hairstyle will be. If things get any worse I may even see Ichigo today, hopefully my luck doesn't hate me even more today.

Sighing, I tugged my black v neck over my head and squeezed into blue skinnys. Grabbing my car keys, I prepared to drive to school.

*At school*

I got to school thirty minutes before the bell officially rung, meaning nobody in their right mind would be here this early unless they happen to be taking the school bus. So only a handful of students were actually here, none that I knew though.

Sitting down at an empty table, I opened a book titled 'The Hunger Games' it just popped up in the library a couple days ago, yet every other girl was head over heels for it. A conversation that I happened to over hear caught my attention, I have to remember what page I'm on though.

"Did you hear?...you know...about him?" one girl muttered.

The other blonde haired girl shook her head, her butt on the edge of her seat trying to grasp this amount of gossip.

"That we got a new exchange teacher? I heard his name was Aizen *squeel* even his name sounds hot!"

The brunette girl gave the blonde a skeptical look, many things seemed to have crossed her mind at that moment before she responded.

"You outta stop talking like that Yumi, people'll think your one of 'those types' of girls. May I remind you of the scandal that happened last year" the brunette snarkily informed her.

The blonde cocked her head to the side in confusion. "We'll do the honors of reminding me then Kiyoko"

Kiyoko rolled her eyes. "Just know this, a girl got expelled, a teacher was fired then taken to jail and put on the news. Later even after the girl moved away, she killed herself". Kiyoko took a breath before continuing. "I'm sure you wouldn't want to go that same route"

Yumi sneered at Kiyoko before speaking. "Just because some messed up shit happened to that girl doesn't mean that'll happen to me"

Kiyoko smirked at her before rising out of her seat and collecting her things. "Before you go saying things like that just know this, that girl said the same thing right after the incident happened to a different girl...with the same teacher"

Yumi's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "What was the teacher's name?" She asked.

Kiyoko smiled before walking away. "His name was Sosuke Aizen"

Yumi nodded ,but her eyes still showed that of confusion. Hmmm, this 'Sosuke Aizen' person sounds kind of scary. Hopefully, he'll find no interest in me.

XOXOXOXOXO

A/N: I'm really sorry this chapter is so horribly short, but to tell you guys the truth...I'm sort of losing interest on this story. I thought a nice twist would be to introduce the most infamous and notorious bad guy on the show here but...no thoughts are coming to me.

If anyone is willing to offer any sort of ideas to me that would be great, but please make sure to send your ideas privately to me. I have to keep everyone else on edge and I can't have them having the least bit of speculation on what's gonna happen next.

Anyways, thank you for reading and continue to R&R ^^
