Chapter 3

The morning tweets of the birds outside the window were soothing as Orihime woke from her slumber. (a/n: Sorry but I had that image thing, when you have birds tweeting and that music in the morning) Orihime yawned and stretched her arms before looking at the hospital bed beside her.

"TATSUKI?!" Orihime gasped. Where did Tatsuki go?, "Tatsuki?!"

"Ow... What's up?" Tatsuki's exhausted body appeared on the other side of the bed, "Ow... I think I fell off the bed last night."

"Oh... It's ok. I just thought that you had gone somewhere without me." Orihime mumbled while rubbing her eyes.

"I'm too tired to go anywhere. Ugh... I'm sooo tired, I need more sleep." Tatsuki drowsily climbed back into the bed before falling asleep again.

"Sigh... I should go get the doctor then." Orihime left the hospital room and poked her head out the door, trying to look for a doctor. But there were none in sight. Orihime walked out of the room, closing the door silently and went looking for a doctor.

20 minutes into her search, Orihime looked down at her watch to find that it was 4:50 am in the morning. Orihime sighed before trying to find her way back to Tatsuki's room. Orihime wondered where all the doctors had gone, when she peered into Tatsuki's room. And there, standing around Tatsuki were 3 doctors, all examining Tatsuki. Beside them were Tatsuki's parents, both looking very stern and worried.

All the while, Tatsuki was flinching backwards, as the doctors tried to examine her. Tatsuki looked up for a second and caught Orihime's stare before bolting upright, Orihime's name erupting from her mouth. A second later, Tatsuki was out of the room and huddling behind Orihime like a scared child.

"Help me, Orihime. They keep touching me and they keep telling me to be a good girl, who are they?" At first, Tatsuki was pointing at the 3 doctors before pointing at her own parents.

"They're doctors, they help sick people like you and they help them get better. And they are your Mum and Dad. They look after you." Orihime explained patting Tatsuki lightly on the head, "Don't be afraid."

"But I don't want them to be my Mum and Dad. I don't want them to look after me. Can you look after me? Can you be my Mum and my Dad?" Tatsuki asked, her face in the back of Orihime's shoulder.

"Why not this? You let the doctors help you, then we'll see about being your Mum and Dad." Orihime turned around and pulled at Tatsuki's arm.

"But I'm scared!" Tatsuki pouted.

"It's not that scary. Come on!" Orihime pulled Tatsuki back into the room and helped her back into her bed, before the doctors started to examine her again.

Orihime turned away from the bed, deciding to leave the room, instead Tatsuki's parents stood in her way. And they did not look happy or cheerful at all.

"Orihime, how does Tatsuki know you and not us?" Mr. Arisawa asked sternly.

"Uh... Well, Tatsuki's lost her memory and I was here last night. So, she knows me but she can't exactly remember me yet." Orihime smiled nervously.

"We know that Tatsuki has lost memory but we just want to know why you didn't get a doctor as soon as she woke up?" Mrs. Arisawa scolded before letting out a sigh.

"Well, I was going to but just as I was about to, Tatsuki wanted me to stay with her, so I did. And before I knew it, I was asleep!" Orihime nervously scratched the back of her head.

Mr. and Mrs. Arisawa sighed and shook their heads at how they could forget that Orihime was a bit oblivious at times. The doctors soon finished their examinations and quickly ushered Mr. and Mrs. Arisawa outside to discuss Tatsuki's state.

"Orihime. I want to get out of here." Tatsuki said, still quite scared from the examinations.

"You can home with your parents a little later." Orihime smiled from her arm chair. (a/n: Sorry, that probably sounded a bit weird but I was trying to say that Orihime's sitting in an arm chair)

"But I don't wanna go with them! I'm scared of them." Tatsuki whispered before her parents re-entered the room.

Mr. Arisawa took a deep sigh before he grumble, "Seeing as the only one that Tatsuki trusts currently is you, Orihime. Mrs. Arisawa and I have decided that she'll be staying with you till she remembers us."

"Huh?"

Leaping out of the hospital, Tatsuki had never felt so happy in life. Well, what she could remember of it anyways.

'Oh... crap...' Orihime thought to herself as she watched her friend bound down the concrete walkway, almost knocking into an elderly lady.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Tatsuki bowed lowly as the elderly woman shuffled along grumpily.

"Tatsuki! You shouldn't do that!" Orihime struggled along, under the weight of Tatsuki's bags.

"I'm sorry! Do you think I should help you?" Tatsuki smiled, her arm extending forwards to Orihime.

"Bah! It's about time!" Orihime dumped one of the 2 heavy bags on the ground. Apparently, Tatsuki would need 'some' supplies, in order to live at Orihime's. Tatsuki fisted one of the bag handles and slung the bag over her shoulder with ease.

"I don't see how this is heavy for you!" Tatsuki looked at Orihime funnily.

"Well, that's easy for you to say! You used to do Taekwondo!" Orihime grumpily pulled at her bag.

"Really? I know Taekwondo? Was I good at it?" Tatsuki queried, her eyes shining at her 'unknown' ability.

"Yes, you wer-" Orihime heaved at the bag once more.

"Ok, here, let me take that." With one swipe, Tatsuki had the bag over shoulder and was once again, skipping cheerfully down the street.

"COME ON!" Tatsuki yelled.

Orihime rubbed at her sore shoulders before running down the concrete too.

'I hope today goes well. Maybe I can show her some pictures of us when we get home!' Orihime thought to herself, 'OH NO! We have school! I almost forgot!'

"TATSUKI!", Orihime yelled as she tried to reach her friend, "Come on! We gotta get home, quick!"

Tatsuki turned around, the bags on her shoulders flying around with her... Smacking Orihime square in the face!

"Oh crap! Sorry!" Tatsuki let the bags fall to the concrete pavement before bending over to help Orihime and her newly formed bruise.

"It's ok..." Orihime mumbled before looking at her watch. It was already 8am! They only had half an hour left before a detention would be welcoming them to school!

"COME ON!" Orihime scrambled to her feet and motioned for Tatsuki to pick the bags up again, "WE HAVE TO GET HOME QUICKLY! WE HAVE SCHOOL!"

"We have schoo-" Tatsuki didn't even have time to finish her sentence before she was being dragged along by Orihime, across the road.

The two sped along the pavement, Orihime huffing and puffing already. They were almost home, only a few more minutes. Orihime looked worriedly down at her watch, 8:15!! Suddenly a shot of adrenaline ran through her body and she reached for Tatsuki, pulling the both of them into a frantic run.

"WOAH!" Tatsuki exclaimed as her body was heaved forwards by Orihime.

The pair finally reached Orihime's apartment and quickly ran up the stairs, before reaching the front door. Orihime reached inside her bag, searching for her keys. Orihime grumbled as she 'dove' deeper into her bag, her keys eluding her fingers. Orihime let out a big sigh before screwing up her face and pouring out all the contents of her bag.

"Where are you, keys?!" Orihime searched through the new mountain of objects.

Tatsuki couldn't help but giggle at the sight of Orihime. Her friend was quite a funny character. Tatsuki muffled her laugh before bending over and helping in the search for 'the eluding key'. Tatsuki's fingers flicked scraps of useless paper away, rummaged through various items before she turned back to Orihime's bag.

She eyed it curiously before realising there was another compartment. She unzipped it quickly and sure enough, the keys were sitting peacefully inside it. She grabbed them and dangled them in front of Orihime's face.

Orihime pouted before snatching the keys and unlocking the door. The pair swept all of Orihime's belongings into her bag again and walking into the apartment.

"Ok, take your bags and dump them into the bedroom, then get dressed!" Orihime ordered.

Tatsuki nodded, adding a smile along with it then grabbing her two bags, walked into the bedroom.

When Tatsuki was out of sight, Orihime sighed and fell onto her couch. She had never ran that far before and she wasn't planning on doing that again! If they were going to do this on a daily basis, Orihime was never going to survive...

"Orihime?" Tatsuki called from the bedroom.

"Yes?" Orihime replied, jumping from the couch and pacing towards the bedroom. The sight before her eyes nearly gave her a nosebleed.

"I can't find my uniform." Tatsuki said simply, bent over her large bag, only in her bra and underwear.

"Put some other clothes on first, please. I'll help you and check the other bag." Orihime bent her head downwards, her large bangs hiding the dark crimson upon her face.

Unzipping the bag, Orihime rummaged through the various articles of clothes. Having searched for quite some time, Orihime gave up. She looked over to Tatsuki, who had pulled all of the clothes out of her other bag. Where was Tatsuki's uniform? Orihime dug through Tatsuki's bag once more and finally found them; at the bottom of the bag!

"Here! I found them!" Orihime beamed as she pulled the skirt and shirt from the bag.

"Yay! Thanks!" Tatsuki hugged Orihime gratefully, "What about you? Aren't you getting changed?"

"Oh crap! I nearly forgot!" Orihime dashed out of the bedroom and into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, the pair were at the door, ready for a 'wonderful' day at school. Tatsuki smiled at Orihime as she slipped her shoes on, Orihime returning the grin. The door swung open and the two were running madly down the street again. Orihime glanced down at her watch once more...

8:27!!

"SHIT!!" Orihime yelled and the pair zoomed down the street like bullets.

The pair weaved in and out of people, dashing madly to school. Many people stared and eyed them curiously as they ran.

"DING! DING! DING!"

Unbelievably, Tatsuki and Orihime had made it to school just as the bell rang. The two smiled before continuing to huff and puff from their morning 'jog'.

'That was the second time today that we had to run! I am seriously not going to survive this!' Orihime thought as they entered school, 'Could this day get any worse?'
