A New Victory.
Orihime walked to the front of the court and stood beside Ichigo's frail form, his lower jaw open as if he couldn't believe that it was Orihime. "I never ever filed a rape case against Dr Ichigo Kurosaki. This man...this beast of a man, Uryuu Ishida, just wants revenge on me." Her big gray eyes filled with delicate tears.
Uryuu looked stunned at his former lover.
Ichigo stared at her, looking as if he wanted to take her into his arms and shield her from any pain.
"Your case of events is illogical Miss Inoue, it sounds far fetched and imaginary." Hitsugaya said. Orihime looked down, blood rushing to her cheeks and Kazumi rushed forth to console her mother, but Sora grabbed her, making Kazumi wail.
"But if I was to believe this foolish tale, then I would advise you to ask as to what started Mr Ishida's feelings of vengeance." Hitsugaya continued and looked at Orihime, motioning with his hand to continue.
Orihime's head snapped up and without missing a beat, she continued her story. "I was in a relationship with Mr Ishida 5 years ago, to the end of our relationship, I had become pregnant with Mr Ishida's child, Kazumi." Orihime gestured to the beautiful child that cuddled into Sora's arms. "I told Mr Ishida this and he became violent. He grabbed my arms and shook them until they were bruised, then he walked out and left me on my own to raise my child. I filed an abuse claim and showed them the photo's of earlier bruises he had inflicted upon me. According to my knowledge, a claim like this is a black mark on the persons record and can never be erased. Am I correct, Your Honor?" Orihime looked up at Hitsugaya with questioning eyes.
Hitsugaya nodded.
Orihime rambled on. "I believe that Mr Ishida filed a statutory rape case against Dr Kurosaki, forging my signature and intended to use this actress who looks like me to prove Dr Kurosaki guilty thus ruining his life and I would have lashed out improperly at Mr Ishida." Orihime took a big gulp of water and stared at the jury. They all wore the same masks of shock and bewilderment.
Ichigo looked the most comical of all. His mouth was flapping open and closed, his dark chocolate brown eyes wide and his skin ashen.
"THAT IS BULLSHIT, YOUR HONOR!" Uryuu yelled, standing up so quickly that the chair fell down. He looked at Orihime with such hatred that she took a cautious step back.
"Your reaction to Miss Inoue's response just further enhances her statement to be true Mr Ishida and your obvious look of hatred for her just concludes as much. Uryuu Ishida, I find you guilty on all accounts and you will be jailed for forgery of a legal document and abuse for 10 years." Hitsugaya said and bashed down the hammer, walking out of the court room.
Ichigo and Orihime looked at each other and smiled. Uryuu yelled. "I'LL KILL YOU, YOU BITCH!" Uryuu lunged at Orihime.
Orihime screamed and put her arms out for defense, waiting for the collision.
But the collision never impacted.
Ichigo was in front of Orihime with his hand closed around Uryuu's throat, the sound coming from Ichigo's throat sounded like an animalistic growl. "Don't you ever touch my Orihime again." He snarled menacingly.
The guards finally reacted and took Uryuu away, him kicking and screaming and shouting profanities.
3 MONTHS LATER:
Ichigo walked along the snow covered pathway, wearing a red button down shirt, black slacks, a black double breasted coat with a long collar, he held his attache case with gloved hands as the snow started to stick to the ground. His breath coming in soft puffs of fog.
Ichigo took a sip of his hot chocolate and walked in his clinic. "Mornin' Rukia! Any messages?" He asked and looked at the petite woman warmly.
The young woman looked up and rubbed her newly pregnant belly, the soft mound indicated a child. Of course, Rukia went straight to Ichigo to get an examination. "Just your girlfriend saying she'll be in soon."
Ichigo smiled as he thought of her. After the case, Ichigo went for a holiday and saw her again. "Thank you Rukia. You be careful, wouldn't want you to stress too much now." He said and walked into his office, taking his gloves and coat, the heater having been on in before he had arrived.
Ichigo slipped on his lab coat and set his attache case on the desk. Drank his hot chocolate, threw it in the bin and sat down in his chair and opened the case, looking at a photo of Orihime.
His heart clenched with longing and love. He missed her so much. Ichigo's lips touched the photograph.
There was a knock on his door, a pregnant tummy and long hair walked into his door and he plastered a smile on his face.
His girlfriend had come.
