CHAPTER 4:

Arguing with Ichigo

Training was done for the day, she had spent three entire weeks, learning how to use her new found power and how much stronger it actually made Orihime.

Ichigo was there once again and Orihime felt as if he spent more time with her and not with Rukia, it was quite rude of her to monopolize him like that, but Rukia never said a word, which was rather out of character for the usually outspoken Soul Reaper, while Ichigo was cleaning up, Orihime visited Rukia at their home.

Orihime timidly knocked and she heard Rukia shuffling about. "I'm coming!"

The door swung open and Rukia was there with a Chappy the Rabbit doll and her eyes widened as she saw Orihime, which turned into a welcoming smile. "Orihime, please come in." Rukia said, making way for her friend.

"Thank you Rukia." Orihime said surprised and bowed respectfully, entering the cozy home.

It wasn't long before Rukia made tea and they sat together in arm chairs.

Orihime finally plucked up her courage.

"Rukia, I know you haven't had much time with Ichigo lately, so I've decided to stop training sessions with him, so you can have more time with your husband. I need to rest anyway." Orihime said and took a sip of the delicious brewed tea.

Rukia looked at her best friend in shock. "You want to stop training with Ichigo so he and I can spend more time together?" Rukia questioned.

"Yes." Orihime said simply.

"Well, Orihime, I can't say much.. I mean, if you've changed your mind there's nothing I can say to change it back and it isn't my place to do so. Even while I don't think it's a good idea to stop your training sessions. Ichigo does need to pay more attention. I think you should tell him, don't waste anymore time here. Go straight to Ichigo and tell him."

Orihime stood up, her face serious as she turned "Thank you for the tea Rukia!" She yelled and waved, causing Rukia to smile and laugh.

Once Orihime had left, Rukia cleared the table of the tea and the cups, cleaning them. 'Orihime is right though, if she stops the training then she can have a rest, conserve her strength and Ichigo can focus on the task. This might be for the best."

"What do you mean you want to stop sessions Orihime? We need to fully train you so you know your Hollow's capabilities." Ichigo fired at her, angry that she would even think such a thing.

"Ichigo, you need to spend more time with Rukia and less time on my wellbeing. I'm fine, I have my Hollow under control, I can use my power when I need to. You need to spend time with your wife. With Rukia, she's all alone in an empty house..and nobody to hug her and say, 'Honey, I'm home!' She doesn't get that, because your here with me, training me. I already know how to use my newly acquired powers. I just want to rest now..I just need to rest." Orihime explained to the orange-haired Soul Reaper.

"But Orihime-"

"Go Ichigo, go to Rukia, be with her! Stop trying to make excuses so you can stay here, why don't you wanna be with her!?" Orihime screamed, holding her fists up against her body, as if she was trying to shield herself and Rukia from pain.

"Orihime..it's not that I don't want to be with her, it's that I'm so busy-" Ichigo tried to explain.

"Another explanation that only strays from the answer and the solution." Orihime spoke softly. "You need to spend a night with Rukia, Ichigo. You haven't seen I came home from the hospital. You've been by my side because you think it's all your fault because you didn't save me. You couldn't break my force field and now you want to atone for it. But the truth is, I'm at fault for my own actions, I put myself in this position, you tried to get me out and I didn't listen. This is my fight, my battle, I don't have to share it anymore. Go home to your wife Ichigo, and let me fight on my own."

"STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!" Ichigo screamed, staring at Orihime, her eyes wide, the blood draining from her face. "I'M NOT A BABY ORIHME! I DON'T NEED TO BE TOLD! RUKIA KNOWS WHY I'M HERE AND SHE SUPPORTS THAT DECISION. SHE KNOWS I WANT TO HELP YOU!" Ichigo yelled at his friend, seeing the tears in her eyes. He hated that he was the cause of those tears.

"RUKIA SAID IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU TO COME HOME! BUT WHILE SHE DOESN'T SUPPORT THAT I WANT TO STOP TRAINING, SHE SAID IT WAS MY DECISION AND THAT I SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO DECIDES WHAT HAPPENS! RUKIA TOLD ME THAT YOU NEEDED TO PAY ATTENTION." Orihime yelled, making Ichigo's eyes widen.

He had never seen her so enraged, so full of anger and desperation.

"I am not coming back for another session, and your going to go home to your wife!" Orihime said and she stomped off.

"Orihime, wait!" Ichigo pleaded with her, but she didn't listen, didn't even twitch her head to his direction, she just left.

Leaving Ichigo on his own underneath the shop.

"ORIHIME!" Ichigo screamed.

Hey! I know it's not much of a fight, but Orihime really gave it to him! He did deserve, leaving his wife alone and all, but what is this business about Ichigo focusing at the task in hand? And paying attention? Why is neither of them taking their marriage seriously?
