Chapter 6: Nightmare
*I'm walking... into a dark room.
No... it's not a room.
Where am I?
I can't see anything... I can't hear or taste.
I can't smell...
I can't feel. Not the warmth of my own skin or the air around me.
I continue to walk... with no real sense of direction of purpose. Then I see it.
I see a light. A bright light at the end of this dark place... what is it?
I hear a voice... it's Ichigo's voice.
A run towards the light and soon enough, I am amazed by a beautiful garden in front of me. Flowers extend farther than my eyes will let me see. I smell the aroma of summer, mingling with the cherry blossoms swaying in the wind.
Ichigo arrives and takes my hand. He places his arm around my waste and kisses me tenderly.
What I've always wanted. His lips taste like strawberries. His hands caress my skin and face, and mine travel through his orange hair.
'Ichigo... don't ever leave me...' I whisper in his ear.
He doesn't answer.
I stay there kissing him, breathing in every part of him.
Then...
Something is dripping down on my face... I graze my tongue over the streamy liquid on my face.
It tastes like... like... blood.
A horrid stench fills my nose. I try to lift my hands to cover my nose but my body won't move.
I can't stop kissing him... I can't breathe. I can't BREATHE! His kissing became more fierce and ravenous against my lips.
I try to focus my attention elsewhere...
Where is that putrid odor coming from? I divert my eyes to the side to try and see the smell's origin.
...And see myself on the ground, rotting.
My pale naked body and lifeless eyes, covered by a blanket of blood. The flowers are gone and replaced by a dark voide all around me...
Am I dead? Then he touches me. His cold fingers graze my skin, giving me chills.
I break our kiss and let my eyes rest on his face... it's not Ichigo's anymore.
Those yellow eyes. The face of my fears... His white skin, the vision of his sin.
He smiles at me, and grabs my face. He opens his mouth to speak.
'Come on, Orihime... face your fears!' He screams in my ears.
I push away from him... and he tries to reach for me.
I run. I am running...
I don't stop.
Run
Run
Run
Run...
I look back at his face and I see him chasing after me.
I stare at his face and for a moment I can see Ichigo's crying face, screaming for me to run.
No...Wait. Stop. What are you doing?
Get away from me!
No... d-don't come near me.
Then he does it again.
I lay on the ground, my body raw and hurting from the damage he has inflicted on me again.
A mirror slams down in front of me.
He stands over me and forces me to look in the mirror.
As I look at myself, I'm horrified to find what I see.
It's me... with a white complexion and yellow eyes. With a hole for a heart.
Smiling back at me... is the true face of my fears.
I cry... cry at what I've become. She laughs... laughs for what I've become.
I'm hollow inside...
I look up at him and he stands over me licking his lips.
'You're mine... Hime...'
