So I was inspired once more by a picture on photobucket. So here it is. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or the picture that I found… obviously, but just saying.


Ten Years Ago

Red hearts filled the window display and five year old Orihime was sitting on a chair next to her brother in the dentist's office. "Onii-chan, do I have to be here?"

Sora looked at her and smiled. "Of course you do."

"But why?"

"Well, why not?"

"It smells funny in here." Orihime scrunched up her nose and huffed. Sora only laughed at her remark and this made Orihime angrier.

A bell rang as the front door opened and a young boy who was the same age as Orihime with bright orange hair stepped in with his mother holding his hand.

"Go sit over there Ichigo." Masaki gestured for Ichigo to sit on the chair to Orihime left and he happily jogged there. Masaki headed over to the receptionist and began talking to her. Orihime glanced over to the boy sitting next to her and then quickly looked away when she saw him glance at her too. What did his mommy say his name was again? Ich…Ich…

"Ichigo," Masaki called out to her son. Ichigo looked up and smiled. She leaned down and whispered something into his ear and the young boy's eyes widened.

"Wha-?!"

"Oh, come on. It'd be fun!"

"She doesn't even know me, mommy. Plus, I'm a man and men don't do that!" Ichigo crossed his arms and heavily breathed out through his nose.

"Okay, then. If you say so." Masaki then sat down next to him and began flipping through a magazine.

Orihime began to swing her legs on the chair and hummed to herself.

"What're you humming?" Ichigo asked her.

"Huh? Oh, uh, I don't know. I'm just humming." Orihime started once more and Ichigo frowned a little.

"Well it's annoying." He crossed his arms again and glared at the wall in front of him.

"Annoying? Really? It makes me happy." Orihime put a finger to her chin and began to tap against it. Ichigo only looked at her weirdly and he felt a nudge on his left arm. He looked at his mother and she gestured for him to introduce himself.

Deeply sighing, he said, "I'm Ichigo Kurosaki."

Orihime smiled at him and replied with, "I'm-,"

"Orihime Inoue." The dentist called for her at the door of his office.

"That's our cue Orihime." Sora reached his hand out to Orihime and she gladly took it.

"See you around, Kurosaki-san!" Orihime beamingly smiled to him and a small smile formed from Ichigo's lips. His small hand waved back to her as she entered the office.

"Mommy, I think I want to do what you suggested." Masaki smiled at her son and they left the dentist.

Orihime and Sora stepped out from the office and Orihime was complaining. "I can't eat for a half hour! That's crazy!" Sora only chuckled at his younger sister remarks. "Stupid dentist is cutting off my food supply in my tummy."

"Orihime~!" The receptionist called after her. Orihime walked up to the desk and said hello.

"Hi Aika-san!"

"I have something for you from someone else." Aika had turned around and had taken a daisy off her desk. She handed it to Orihime and she beamed.

"Oh~! It's so pretty! Thank you Aika-san!"

"Oh, but it wasn't from me. It was from the little boy with the orange hair."

"Kurosaki-san?" A small smile formed and her heart warmed at the thought of the boy she had just met.


Don't you think Ichigo was just so darn adorable when he was younger? I just wanna dip him in chocolate and eat him! … Okay, not literally, but yeah. Review please!
