Stranger
Orihime
Aizen Sousuke...Sosuke Aizen. His name repeated over and over in my head. It..rang a bell somehow, my mind just couldn't pinpoint from where. Wednesdays were always depressing and boring, as well as upsetting. It's a stupid hump day..not close enough to Friday and too close to Monday, I'm just ready to go home and go to sleep.
I was trapped within my own thoughts when I crashed into the back of someone.
"Aww shit...gomen!" I said bowing my head.
When I didn't get a response I looked up to lock eyes with a stunning male. His brown tousled hair stopped at the nape of his neck, his emerald colored eyes stroked my heart with intensity, plus I could feel a deep blush coming on.
His attire was that of a casual man, dark black jeans and a button up deep red shirt. I didn't realize I was just staring at him until I took a weary step back. *CRUNCH!*
Under my foot, was a pair of glasses and on his face wore an unmistakeable glare. These glasses under my foot must have been his.
"I'm I'm-
"So sorry, yes I heard you the first time...your a daydreamer I suppose" he continued to glare down at me. He was offly tall for a guy.
His deep voice rung about in my ears, the wind blew and my hair covered up my face and hiding my blush. My feet twiddled about eachother and I wrapped a string of my hair about my fingers. There were so many signs that I was nervous ,but he didn't seem to notice (or care)...he only continued to look down his nose at me.
"If you don't mind..." He bent over and the deep blush stretched across my whole face.
I quickly covered the inside of my legs with as much as my black mini would allow. He stopped midway of his stride and stood back up.
"You couldn't have possibly thought...that I would" He scoffed and peered up at the sky shaking his head.
He stopped his murmuring and looked rudely at me. "I'm not like the trashy little boys at your school running around ok? And if you must know, I was trying to receive my glasses from underneath your foot"
I blushed again, kami I was making a horrible first and last impression. "Ummm...I'm sorry?" (Damn! Why did that sound like a question?!)
He chuckled and gave me a somewhat genuine smile, dazzling.
"It seems those words are the ones you use throughout your whole life...now if I could just get my glasses" he said reaching down again.
I breathed out a sigh of relief and released my skirt and moved my foot, allowing him to pick up the mangled shards of glass and silver.
"Well I have to be on my way..I've got a school I need to get to" He said putting the broken glasses in his jeans pocket.
I peered down at the wrist watch on my arm. 8:30. MY GOD! Time really fucking flies when your talking to a hot guy. Wait what's his name?! I looked up and he was already walking around a corner and out of my field of vision. Damnit. He was so cute too.
*Math: Period 4*
I drummed my pen all over my desk. Only four more periods left until I could finally go home and make myself some hot chocolate...mmmm~ hot coco
"Inoue...Inoue...*SLAM* Inoue!"
The bang is what brought me back to reality. The psychotic teacher wanted to know- no, he demanded to know what the answer to the equation was on the board so I blurted out the first thing on my mind.
"Ummmmm...hot coco?" I answered sheepishly.
The whole class giggled uncontrollably and some of the class clowns fell out of their seats just to encourage the laughter. My teacher (I forgot his name during my point of sheer embarrassment) fumed and his whole face turned red with anger.
"Well then, I guess you can make yourself hot chocolate during detention miss Inoue" He glared down at me before continuing with the lesson.
My mouth hung open, you can't be serious!
*After School: Detention*
My face was practically ingrained on the surface of the cold, hardwood desk I was sitting in. I had no more homework to do ,and all my projects that were due next week were already finished! So many kids commit suicide over bullying and crap like that ,but even then I would commit suicide over being stuck in this damn classroom again!
Something crashed to the floor, it sounded like books, pencils and paper. The sudden noise brought my head up..What the hell? It was him! The delicious Greek god I met earlier this morning/afternoon! What was he doing here?
"It's you...
"It's you...
The same words we both spoke at the same time, then the awkward silence settled in. He's a...teacher? Or a..student? He certainly had the feel of an adult, yet he dressed in blue jeans and a white polo. He must have seen the confusion on my face.
"You obviously have a question do you not?" He said running a hand through his hair.
I shivered, simple gestures like that was..."Ummm...err..hot coco?"
He blinked twice and gave out a hearty laugh, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. "Hot coco? That's the answer to my question? Your a funny girl for a student"
So he IS a teacher, then why is he dressed like that? And where the hell was my teacher that gave me detention?! Aren't I suppose to be home by now?!
"Your probably wondering where your teacher is...well he bailed at the last minute and the head man in charge laid the job off on me, you'll be able to leave in an hour or so"
This outraged me. "An hour or so?! What am I suppose to do for an hour or so?!" I screeched.
This didn't affect him. "Homework ,but from what I can see you've already done that."
I stood out of my chair and slammed my hands on the desk to gain his attention. "You can't be serious right now?! It's 5:30 and your telling me that I can't go home until 6?!"
He picked up a lonesome book on the floor and set it down on a nearby desk. "That's exactly what I'm telling you"
I was so close to cursing him out when a knock came from the door, whatever this asshole's name was looked at the door in confusion before getting up to open it.
"Another one? I know I'm new but come on" he complained.
I could hear the other teacher from out in the hallway. "Yes I know and I'm sorry for the delay, we'll definitely make it up to you ok?...just this once please" she pleaded.
The teacher that I had met earlier sighed and nodded and went back to the desk in front of the room.
Whoever he was talking to I couldn't see from where I was sitting, but a bright flash of electric blue hair strucked my heart to the core. This one detention I get..has to be shared with him?...what did I do to deserve this?
Grimmjow walked into the room- stomped in if you want to be more specific, and didn't even bother to look around. He plopped noisily down into a far away desk, causing it's legs to scrape against the floor annoyingly. I tried to at least make it appear as if I was doing something important, but I couldn't.
Grimmjow's gaze fell upon the teacher and squinted...as if he didn't know who that person was ,but was familiar somehow. His eyes widened in realization and a deep glare touched Grimmjow's face, a glare he wouldn't and didn't use on me.
"What the hell are you doing here Aizen?!" He snarled.
I turned back towards the teacher in horror. He..this was Aizen?! And I had such a major crush on him too!
Aizen turned towards Grimmjow and his face fell into a grim smile. "Aizen-taichou...that's what you should refer to me as"
Grimmjow flipped his desk all the way towards the other side of the room, it whooshed past my hair and clanged into the wall. I flinched, I'd never seen Grimmjow so angry before.
"Aizen-taichou my ass! Answer my fucking question!" He roared.
Aizen smirked and ran his hand through his hair (why is that still sexy to me?) "You still have the attitude problem I see"
Grimmjow glowered at Aizen and walked up to him. He was in his face and he grabbed him roughly by the collar of his shirt.
"Grimmjow stop!" I yelled.
He pointed a finger in my face. "Stay out of this!" He shouted.
I gulped and whimpered, I don't want them to fight but then again I don't want to be Grimmjow's next enemy either.
Aizen chuckled again. "Don't you see Grimmjow, your scaring her...wasn't the original reason you came here was to make a fresh start?"
Grimmjow peered at Aizen like a lion about to pounce on it's prey, and pulled back his fist. No, I couldn't allow this to go on. I lunged towards Grimmjow and grabbed his arm, he growled and the next thing I felt a blinding stinging sensation across my cheek and saw stars.
The sheer force of the hit made me grow dizzy and lose my balance. I felt myself fall backwards and a sharp pain hit the back of my head, my vision grew dark and I could feel nothing.
Grimmjow
What the hell have I done? In my fit of rage I accidentally hit Orihime! Her still body laid in a fairly large puddle of blood around her head ,and more of it dripped off the corner of the desk.
I looked back at Aizen ,but he was no longer looking at me. His full attention was on Orihime, who still had not gotten up.
"Shit!" He cursed.
He shoved me away from him and went straight to Orihime. He gently picked up her head (which leaked with blood) and examined the large cut on the back of her skull. His fingers whirled about her head and moved away various strands of her golden orange hair, I almost wanted to break his hand off of his wrist.
It was like I could hear every breath I took in my ears, my hands shook and my own blood pumped throughout my whole body. All I could think about was Orihime laying there on the floor.
'What have I done what have I done what have I wha-
"Don't just fucking stand there you idiot! Call an ambulance" Aizen roared.
I snapped back to reality and fumbled with my cellphone, I even slightly forgot the 9-1-1 numbers to dial when something like this happens. My hand shook as I gave the woman on the other line the address and state Orihime was in as calmly as I could, nothing would make this alright...nothing.
This just further proved I had to stay away from her, I grabbed my stuff and bolted from the room with Aizen calling after me. All I could think about was just to keep running...keep running...keep running.
*Hospital: 7:30 - Doctor*
"When did she get in here?"
Other assistants of mine helped lift the young girl from the ambulance onto the nearby stretcher, blood poured from her head. With a quick sweep of my eyes I could tell that some of the blood had already caked up and dried in awkward places near the wound on the back of her skull.
This could pose a problem, infection maybe? And why hadn't anyone answered my damn question yet?!
"If I ask a question, it means to be answered" I muttered through my teeth.
My female assistant looked up at me in confusion. "But we already told you, she got here a couple of minutes ago"
I mumbled an incoherent 'Oh' and looked down at the girl on the stretcher, she had bright fiery hair but because of the blood the bottom of it looked deep red and below that a dry muddy brown. Her eyes were closed, but the jerking rise and fall of her chest indicated that she was having slight trouble breathing, was there more injury than what was initially told to me?
Well, I'll have to find out later. Right now, it's off to surgery, for this one hopefully a couple of stitches and she'll be okay.
*30-40 mins into surgery*
Things were getting complicated...what was only a minor to servere head injury must have triggered a shock in her sub-coniousness..inducing a heart attack right in the middle of our procedure. My hands were covered in blood and shaking, I hadn't had been in many situations like this but this one would top the list of being a turn between life and death.
We lost her three times in a row and I honestly couldn't tell how she was still alive. She must be going on off of sheer willpower. I smiled behind the mask covering half of my face, she really wants to stay alive and she's fighting hard for it.
*After surgery: ICU - main hallway*
I breathed a deep sigh of relief, she made it out okay and was currently resting in ICU. The complications really did have me and the rest of the team scared there, but luckily she was able to be saved. It would've been offly sad too...such a beautiful girl dying on my operating table.
I walked down the main hallway; tablet in hand. The next thing to do was to see if our little miss had any visitors or family members to get in contact with. A man caught my attention for a bit. He had broad shoulders, shoulder length brown wavy hair that stopped at the nape of his neck, glasses, and green eyes. He must be waiting to hear from a doctor about a patient he's waiting to see, but what is he doing in the halls of ICU? Only personnel and nurses were allowed back here.
I walked up to him and his head shot up. There were multiple bags under his eyes, clear signs of sleep deprivation. Looking at my watch it read 3:30am...well no wonder he was tired. How long had he been back here?
"Are you lost?" I asked.
He glared at me through his rather thin glasses, I almost flinched back. What a stare he had.
"Are you kidding me? Who gets lost in a hospital?!" He lowly growled.
I loosened my tie and gulped, this guy gave me the freakin creeps.
"Well, just to let you know only authorized personnel are allowed back here. And if I can recall your not in that category-
He glared at me again, this time with a snarl. "I know that too of course, but in this 'category' I don't care. I'm here to see a girl, you guys brought her in maybe a few hours ago and recently finished up surgery...I need to make sure she's ok"
I relaxed a little, so that's why he was so tense. I knew such a pretty girl like her would have many people (mostly men) worried about her.
"You must be talking about miss Inoue, who are you? Friend? Relative?" I asked.
He stood up and looked at me like I was stupid, I only cocked my head to the side in confusion. "How could you ask me that when you can clearly tell I don't even know her name?...for a doctor, your very dense and to answer your question yes I'm here to see her"
This is where he would have to stay then, until she got better or he was of close relation to her he can't see her.
"We'll that's unfortunate, your not of her kin nor a friend so I'm afraid-
I stopped mid way. His eyes seemed to burn with fury, and if I didn't give him what he wanted right now I would be the next person on another one's operating table. Gulping again, I led him the way.
*Late Afternoon: Infirmary - Orihime*
My senses came back to me slowly and one by one. First was my hearing, the constant beeping of nearby machines ticked me off and I wanted to break whatever was making the noise. Next was my sense of touch and feel, it must be...late to mid afternoon because a source of heat was beaming down softly on my lower torso and legs. Opening my eyes took a great deal of effort too and my actual vision didn't come back until five minutes later, plus it was blurry.
The whole room was plain and lifeless. Every wall was bare and appeared to have no color to them, but greatfully the nearly setting sun illuminated the whole room in a deep orange. A nice calm feeling washed over me...wait a minute...what is this sweet smell? It tickled the inside of my nostrils with its sweetness. I looked around for the source of the smell and I found it...red, orange and white lilies in a square vase sat on the window sill of my room. They were pretty. Who could've brought me these?
A dark figure huddled in the corner of my room startled me for a moment, but it's slight moving up and down let me know it was a person. The tousled brown hair...glasses on the floor...Aizen? Why was he here? And how long had he been here?
His light snoring came soft and slow. I almost giggled, how could he fall asleep in such an uncomfortable looking chair? He was in too much of a peaceful state to wake up...
I feel lucky enough to see this myself.
A/N: Hi guys^^ I really hope you liked this chapter. Also, just to let you know, I was in no way making a joke towards people or kids that commit suicide. It's a horrible thing that shouldn't happen, but it does. Anyways, I know some of you probably thought I would make Aizen out into this bad person...I have my own thoughts on how he'll turn out so don't worry. There will be twist and turns to come and hopefully my mind will keep them coming. Sorry for such a short update but its 10:35pm on a Sunday and I have school in the morning...be glad I'm even uploading right now -_- I'm feeling sleep deprivation right now damnit. Anyways read, rate, and please please review ^^
