We Could Be Heroes

Chapter 9

Orihime sat amongst the silky material on his bed hugging her knees. It was past midnight but he was not back. She thought of his bright orange hair, his scowl that she had grown to love so much. The way he got jealous let her know he cared. She wanted to gaze at him every day. She wanted to wake up in his arms every morning and fall asleep with him every night.

How? How could she ever do it?

.

~Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call, I'm angry
call, I'm desperate for your voice
I'm listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet~

.

"We had a deal, remember?"

"B-but you said you'd let me know what to do.. I don't -"

"You're doing extremely well keeping that bastard happy in bed." His gaze lingered on the dark mark on her neck.

Abruptly, he walked towards the door. Placing his hand on the door knob, he turned his head and gave her a cold stare. In his most cold and casual tone, he told her the other half of the deal.

His orders echoed in her head, over and over again.

"You want me to…. to k-kill him?"

"It's your call Orihime."

.

~I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight ~
.

Ichigo found her curled up against his pillow by the time he was back. He moved quietly over her form, cradling her. He watched the way her lashes fan her porcelain face. The way they flutter slightly. He loved watching her sleep, it was so serene. He had been living in years of war and darkness. But she brought him inner peace. With her, he felt… complete.

How? How could he ever do it?

.

~Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Because every breath that you will take
while you are sitting next to me
will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy? ~
.

Ichigo froze as his mind raced.

Inoue Sora!

Her brother?

He thought hard and fast as he ran his fingers through his unruly orange hair.

She looked so happy when she saw the hairclips.

Yes, he'd took it from Inoue Sora's room after he killed him.

Sora mentioned "Hime" a few times.

Could it be?

His eyes widened in realization.

"Now, I wonder how she'll react if she finds out the truth?" Aizen snorted.

.

~ I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight ~

.

Her brother! Dear God, no!

Why did it have to be her brother?

He still remembers the teary look on her face when she mentioned her brother. His heart cringed. He had hurt the girl he promised to protect, he had hurt the girl he wanted to marry, he had hurt the girl he loves with all his heart even though he thought he would never fall in love. His chest felt like it was hit with a tonne of bricks.

She can't know the truth!

.

~ And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home ~

.

"How the mighty Leader-sama has fallen for a girl."

"Breathe a word to Orihime and I'll kill you!" Ichigo scowled.

Aizen smirked.

"It's your call Ichigo."

.

~ I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have

I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight ~

.

End.

Love,

Blitch out.

I surprised myself that I wrote this in minutes. Unfortunately, it isn't like anything that I've planned to give you Chapter 9. But Chapter 352 is out and my heart's like Awwwwh'. Plus when I'm having insomnia and I'm inspired by a song I heard on the radio.. so this is what happens!

Tell me what you think, as always I'll appreciate it very much.

P.S. Oh yes HH Chapter 4 is up btw!

Special thanks to you for giving me the strength and motivation to write:
