After Hitsugaya explained his plan to Orihime, they began trainin hard for that day. Orihime started to make progress. She started to eat, slowly gaining her strength.
IN ORIHIME'S POV
I breathed, sweat dripping down my forehead onto the ground. I did a hand-stand and started doing push-ups. I have to work hard. I have to save him so Ichigo can finally see me in different eyes; not as someone who needs someone else to protect them, but someone who rescue someone and fight for their life. I squinted my eyes in determination. I will fight for Ichigo and his life, even if I loose mine.
I got back on my feet after doing 50 push-ups and grabbed black fingerless gloves that Toshiro gave me.
FLASHBACK
"Take these." Hitsugaya said, handing me the gloves. I took them and examined that.
"What are they?" I asked.
"They're special gloves. They allow you to focus your spiritual energy and put them into your gloves. Those gloves give you the ability to punch through solid objects, like a brick wall.
"What do yours do?" I said. He held up a fist, his black gloves had blue flames on it that fadded into red.
"Mine allow me to use Sorcery." He said.
"Sorcery?" I questioned.
"Magic. I can use the elements Balance, Ice, Life, Storm, Death, Myth, and Fire." He explained. I smiled.
"Cool." I said.
"Train hard. Learn to master your gloves. Only you can use them." He said.
END OF FLASHBACK
I put on the gloves.
"Orihime." Someone said. I turned and a guard opened the door. Toshiro stood there, with no shirt on. No wonder Matsumoto thinks he kind hot, he's built!
"Get ready. We train outside today." Toshiro said. I nodded. I put up my hair, rolled up my sleeves, and changed into shorts. He led me to the Training Field. He put on his gloves.
"Don't hold back. I want to see how well you trained." He said.
"I won't. And I'll show you how well I mastered these." I said and smiled. I charged when he didn't. He was a little shocked but he went to block my punch. I fooled him. He thought I was going to punch him, when I wasn't going to. Instead, my fist collided with the ground, exploding the ground at impact and sending Toshiro in the air.
"Balance Sorcery!" He yelled. My eyes widen. He's going to use magic.
"Locust Swarm!" He clapped his hand together. I looked at the ground. A sandhole appeared. Some ancient statue rose from it [it looked like something from Egypt]. It was cracked and rigid. It opened its mouth and out came locusts. They were heading right for me. I put my hands infront of my face, making a cross with my arms. The locusts came at me, stinging my arms and legs. Then they dissapeared and so did the tomb. I put my arms down and look at Toshiro, who was standing there, waiting.
"You little..." I said. He smiled and bent his finger at me, telling me bring it. I jumped in the air and flew back to the ground, once again, my fist colliding with the Earth, making it explode. I stood and looked around for Toshiro. I couldn't see over the rocks. I climbed one and continued looking around.
"Toshiro?" I called. I heard a groan. I look to my left. There he was. But he was on the ground. He put his hands on the ground, trying to lift himself up. One arm gave out and was resting on his forearm. His head was low, I couldn't see his face. The worst thought came to mind. Oh no. I ran to him. I hurt him. I grabbed him and leaned him up against the tree. He put his hand on his rib. His head was bleeding a little.
"Gomenesai!" I cried, putting my hand on the wound on his forehead. I healed it.
"No, it's alright. Man...you've mastered that pretty well." He said. I smiled and took his hand away from his rib.
"Arigato. You're not so bad yourself." I said and healed his rib.
IN HINAMORI'S POV
"Where is he?" I yelled at the ground. I was furious to know that Toshiro was no where to be seen.
"He's outside!" The guard said, frightned by my anger.
"He's not supposed to be outside." I growled.
"Princess, he's healed. Faster than anyone else." He said. My rage dissapeared.
"Nani?" I asked.
"Look." He said, going over to a window. I followed and looked out. Sure enough, there he was. He was training with Orihime. Why is he training with her? Am I missing something?
They are using close combat. Swiftly dodging their moves. Their movements were the same, yet different.
Orihime raised her fist. Toshiro raised his and their fists collided. An explosion blew, sending Orihime and Toshiro flying away. Toshiro flipped in the air and landed on his feet. Orihime hit the ground instead. Toshiro stood up straight and Orihime stood.
"Ok. I think that's enough for today." Toshiro said. I squinted my eyes. What's so important for them to be training?
"Hai. Tomorrow -huf, huf- is the big day, right?" Orihime asked. What's going on tomorrow?
"Yes, it is. Get lots of rest. I'll come to you when I am ready. And you must also be ready. We don't have time to get ready." He said. Orihime nodded and they headed for the entrance.
"Hmm." I said.
"Do you want me to find out what they are preparing for, Princess?" The guard said.
"No. Leave them be." I said.
"Princess, they're leaving tomorrow when they aren't supposed to." The guard said.
"Let them. I know if we try to stop them, they'll push through our defenses. They have good powers that we don't want to experience first hand. We can only prepare them." I said.
"O-Ok, Hinamori." He said. I looked at the guard.
"Go to the kitchen, tell them to make some food for them. I'll go tell Toshiro and Orihime." I said. The guard nods and walks to the kitchen. I turned my head and Toshiro and Orihime were in sight.
"Toshiro, Orihime. Come here. We need to talk." I said. They looked at eachother, nervously.
"Don't worry. You aren't in trouble." I said, walking toward them.
"I saw you guys out there training. Something important is going to happen tomorrow. I know I can not stop you from doing what you want; for you will bring my defenses down easily." I said.
"What's your point?" Orihime said.
"I can't stop you. I can only help you. Toshiro, come to me before you guys leave so I can give you food. We have cooks that are preparing some right now, for it's almost nightfall." I said.
"How can we trust you?" Toshiro said.
"Well, I don't see anyone else offering help to you. Plus, you'll need things like spears and shields." I said. Toshiro looked at Orihime and then looked back at me.
"Ok, fine. We'll accept your help. But how do you know we'll need weapons?" Orihime said.
"I know you're going to go rescue Ichigo." I said. Orihime stared at me, wideyed.
"Just because I'm a Princess that doesn't mean I'm blind or stupid." I said. Toshiro nodded in agreement.
"Thank you. I'll go back to my chambers." Orihime said, walking off. Toshiro watched her.
"Don't get hurt, Shiro-chan." I said. Toshiro looked at me, a little shocked by what I called him.
"You...You remember me?" He said. I smiled and walked toward him.
"How could I forget my little snow cone?" She said, rubbing her hand in his hair.
"Hey! Stop it! You're messing up my hair!" He yelled, ducking away from her hand and fixing his hair. He paused.
"Snow cone?" He said, eyebrow raised. I chuckled.
"Yep. My little snow cone." I said.
"Bedwetter." He mumbled.
"That was one time!" I complained. He got in my face and smirked. I started at him. He was so close. So close that I could taste his breath.
"It still happened." He said. I growled and pinned by the wrists to the wall.
"I don't care if happened, please don't call me that." I said, pouting. He smiled and put his forehead to mine.
"Make me." He said.
"You really want me to shut you up?" I said.
"If it's possible." He said. I gathered my courage. I'm going to do it. I'm going to kiss him. I leaned in.
"Wh-What are you doing?" He said. I smiled.
"Stay still, Shiro-chan." I said.
"Don't call-" I leaned in more and pressed my lips to his, cutting his sentence off. My grip on his wrists loosened. After a second, he kissed back and got loosed from my hold on his wrists. He puts his hands on my waist and pulled me closer. He seeked a way in my mouth. So I opened my mouth a little and he slipped his tongue in and tasted mine. I cupped his face in my hands as we kissed continuely.
My little snow cone is growing up; he can kiss really good!
It's the morning of the next day. I lay in bed, still asleep. Until someone shook me.
"Momo, wake up." They said. I groaned.
"5 more minutes." I said.
"Bedwetter, get up." He said. I opened my eyes and looked into Toshiro's.
"Is it time?" I asked. He nods. I got out of bed in only boxers and bra.
"Put some clothes on!" He said, covering his eyes. I looked down.
"Oh. Gomenesai. I'll put clothes on." I said. I put on a long t-shirt.
"Better?" I said. He removed his hand.
"Better. Let's go." He said.
"Hai." I said and led him to the kitchen, where 2 bags of food sat on the table.
"The cooks finished these a few minutes ago." I said.
"How can you tell?" He said.
"It's still hot." I said, seeing the seem rising from the bag. I handed him the bags.
"Follow me. I'll get you to Orihime. We moved her cell afterall." I said.
"Ok." He said. We headed to the Prison Cell section.
"Why are you going?" I asked.
"One, I can't let Orihime go by herself. Second, Ichigo is my best friend. I want and need to help him." He said.
"I see. Here she is." I said.
"Orihime." Toshiro said. Orihime came up to the bars, muscles on her arms.
"Is it time?" She said. Toshiro nodded. Orihime grabbed her bag of her stuff.
"Ok. I'm ready." She said. I unlocked the door and opened it. She came out and Toshiro handed her her bag of food.
"Arigato." She said, putting the bag of food in her other bag. We headed to the entrace.
"I wish I could come with you." I said.
"You can't you're the Princess." Toshiro said.
"I know. I never wanted to be either." I said. Toshiro came infront of me. I looked at him.
"I'll be back. Promise." He said. Tears came in my eyes.
"You better come back. All 3 of you." I said.
"You're not against Ichigo or me?" Orihime said.
"No. I know why did all of this. They don't. I understand your actions and his." I said.
"Hmm." She said.
"We'll be back as soon as we can." Toshiro said.
"Ok. Ja ne for now." I said.
"Ja ne." Orihime said, walking ahead. Toshiro came closer to me and pressed his lips to mine and put his hand on the side of my neck. I closed my eyes and gripped his shirt. Our lips parted, still hungering for one another.
"Good luck." I said.
"Thanks. Stay safe." He said. I nodded.
"Same to you." I said. He gave me a nother kiss before grabbing the bag of food and catching up with Orihime.
"Please come back. Safe and Sound. Without a scratch on you. It's not going to be the same without you around." I whispered, watching them fade away.
THE END
