Chapter 6

"HIME!" A pair of hands grasped Orihime's chest tightly, "Oh, how I missed you over the weekend!"

"Oh! I missed you too!" Orihime laughed nervously, shuffling along into the classroom.

Chizuru nuzzled her nose into her 'beloved's' neck before glancing upwards, seeing Tatsuki. Her body flew from Orihime's in a blink of an eye, arms wrapped around her head, in fear.

"What's wrong?" Tatsuki asked, suddenly whirling around to see what had frightened Chizuru, "Was there something behind me?"

"What are you talking about? I was scared that you were going to hit me again!" Chizuru blurted out furiously, "Are you mocking me?!"

"What? Wait… I hit you before?! I'm very sorry!" Tatsuki ran straight across to Chizuru, her arms wrapping around her new friend, "I'm very sorry. Orihime! Why didn't you tell me I was so cruel?"

Orihime couldn't help but laugh loudly at what she saw. Chizuru was frantically trying to get out Tatsuki's hug, almost like a cat trying to break free from captor's grip. Tatsuki, on the other hand, firmly gripped onto Chizuru's waist.

"AAHHHH!! TATSUKI'S TRYING TO HUG ME!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!" Chizuru yelled out loudly. All the heads in the classroom turned towards the pair, before the room erupted in laughter.

Tatsuki's face began to turn a dark shade of red, before she let go of Chizuru abruptly. From the effort of trying to get out of Tatsuki's hug, Chizuru flew out the classroom door!

"Sorry!" Tatsuki called out once again before running out the classroom door to help her 'injured' classmate.

Chizuru ran back into the classroom, turning Orihime into her human shield from Tatsuki.

"What's wrong with her, Hime? Did she hit her head or something? Coz this is not the cruel and abusing Tatsuki I know!" Chizuru asked Orihime quickly.

"Erm, no this is Tatsuki. It's just she can't remember anything. Something happened over the weekend…" Orihime's head bent downwards as memories of the previous day, flashed in her mind.

"What happened?!" Chizuru asked loudly. Orihime's friends suddenly crowded around her too, whispering and asking about what had happened.

"Wait! Not so many questions at one time!" Orihime demanded. She looked up from the group and saw Tatsuki standing quite nervously on the outskirts of the group.

"Tatsuki-chan, come here."

Nervously shuffling into the group, Tatsuki smiled nervously, before standing besides her friend.

"Ok. So, yesterday, me and Tatsuki went to a big park. You know the big one with lots of trees and rivers and mountains and stuff. Anyways, when we were there, I got angry and ran away from Tatsuki. And I went down this path with a bridge, Tatsuki ran after me though. I crossed the bridge that was over a big river. And Tatsuki started to go over the bridge too… That's when the bridge broke… and Tatsuki fell into the river…" Orihime paused, sucking in air, fighting the tears that threatened to fall.

"Now she can't remember anything…"

The girls around them gasped. All the girls turned towards Tatsuki, waiting for her to say something.

"I'm so sorry, Tatsuki-chan!" Orihime turned around suddenly and hugged Tatsuki fiercely, the tears streaming down her face now.

Nothing but silence fell over the group, now that the initial shock had sunken in. Tatsuki opened her mouth to say something, but her voice failed her. Tatsuki closed her eyes, her mind suddenly flashing with unknown images. One of which was of bright orange hair, another of a shaky bridge and the last one…

Orihime's eyes; fear and sorrow circling within them.

The last image struck something deep within her heart and Tatsuki hugged her friend tightly. Her fingers suddenly gliding through Orihime's hair, almost on their own.

"It's ok, Orihime." Tatsuki smiled into her friends shoulder, "It's ok…"

A moment or two passed before the two friends pulled away from eachother. Orihime's hand immediately moved upwards, to wipe away the tears that had streaked down her cheeks.

"Come on. I need some help with where I'm supposed to sit." Tatsuki tugged on Orihime's sleeve.

The two made their way to the seats beside the window, many of their friends already slumped over their desks. Ichigo was yawning widely while Ishida was finishing off his latest sewing project. On the other hand, Chad was staring out the window, his hair revealing only one of his two dark brown eyes.

"You sit here, Tatsuki-chan!" Orihime stopped in front of one of the many desks in the room.

Tatsuki looked down at the desk, the wooden top worn out from the decades it had spent in this school.

"Thanks Orihime! Where do you sit?" Tatsuki looked up at her friend.

"Oh, I sit right behind you!" Orihime twisted around, plonked herself into her seat and smiled, "These are the best desks coz we get to look out of the windows when we get bored!"

Suddenly, the class quietened and the teacher appeared in the doorway. She made her way to the desk, setting her things on the table.

"Good morning class!" She cheerfully greeted the class.

"Good morning, Miss." The class dully replied.

"Alright then, let's get going. Oh, wait, Tatsuki, can I talk to you for a moment?" Tatsuki looked up from her desk, uncertainty in her eyes, "It's ok, it's just a talk."

The pair left the classroom and chatter started up again. Orihime stared at the door, concern written all over her face.

"Hime!" Again, Chizuru startled Orihime. From the surprise, Orihime toppled over, out of her chair and onto the hard floor.

"Ouch…" Orihime mumbled, Chizuru bending over to help her.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry, Hime!" Chizuru began to help Orihime up when Tatsuki appeared beside her. With a quick move, Orihime was up on her feet, her arm slung over Tatsuki's shoulders.

"You ok, Orihime?" Tatsuki questioned softly.

"Yea, I'm fine." Orihime smiled as she sat back into her chair.

"Come, class! We're going to begin now!" The teacher chirped across the classroom, "Please take out your maths textbooks!"

The class groaned as the all slowly pulled the desk panels up and pulled out their textbooks. Tatsuki quickly followed suit and took her textbook out too.

"Open to page 190. We were doing 'graphing quadratics', remember?" The teacher turned away from the class, quickly scribbling across the blackboard.

Orihime took the chance and leaned forwards from her seat and whispered, "Tatsuki, what did you talk about?"

"She just told me that I would need some help to sorta catch up. My parents already told her about the accident." Tatsuki muttered quickly.

"Oh ok then." Orihime sat back into her chair, not receiving one word of the teacher's current lecture.

'I hope this day goes by quickly, I really want to get Tatsuki home, so I can show her some photos of us. Maybe I'll somehow make her remember something…" Orihime sighed as she looked ahead, the teacher's words finally 'taking over' her mind.
