Okay, I'm trying to make up for the long week I didn't post up drabbles, so here's one! Inspired by the song Someday by Rob Thomas; if you didn't listen to it LISTEN TO IT NOW! xD I know this doesn't correspond to the last one, but ideas are flowing and they're jumping around from place to place. So please try to deal with me and my jumbled mind.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or any of its characters. I only own my fantasies of Ichigo and Orihime being together. :)


Orihime drank her hot chocolate in delight and she sat alone in a high table in a small café. Snow was softly falling outside and she gazed out from the large glass window display. The door opened and a burst of cold air rushed in. Glancing at the door, she saw a man with bright orange hair. Her heart pumping wildly she immediately tried to cover her face. He came in with another woman and Orihime couldn't help but to feel hurt. Even though she had left to America for a new start after they had broken up, feelings were still there. But she couldn't have him know that. She just couldn't. Glancing up again, she saw that he was laughing and so was she. The woman laid her right hand on his shoulder and Orihime couldn't handle it anymore. She had to get away from here. Hide. Somewhere. Anywhere. Leaving her half-filled hot chocolate cup, the chair screeched across the floor and she walked out. Her bangs covered her face and she was grateful that she let her hair grow longer yet so that she could hide her face in it. She had to walk out of there. Tears hung at the edge of her eyes, but Orihime tried to be strong and keep it in.

Ichigo's eyes averted to auburn woman and he felt a pang of hurt in his heart. She just left… Maybe she didn't notice me. He wanted to so badly walk up to her and say hi and to just go back to how things were before. But that wasn't possible, now, was it? His manager had kept on talking, not noticing how distracted he was. Maybe she's better off without me anyways… Even as he thought that, it didn't feel right to him.

"Excuse me, one moment." Ichigo walked out and saw Orihime walking up just about half a block away. He began to run to her and once he had caught up, he laid his hand on her shoulder and turned her around.

"Inoue."

"…Kurosaki-kun…" Her eyes were wide and the snow melted on her face. Small flakes caught on her hair and it just made her all the more beautiful.

"You're back." He breathed out. Way to go. Didn't even say hi! I must sound pathetic.

"Y-yeah. It's been like a week now. Uh, so how are you?" She wasn't looking at him directly and he felt that he was making her feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, good. I guess."

"Really?" She looked up at him and he couldn't hold it in anymore.

"No. Not really. I… I've missed you, Inoue. And I know I screwed things up, but… I love you. I have and I won't ever stop loving you. I don't know if you even feel the same way anymore or if you've found someone else-,"

"There could never be someone else…" She mumbled. Ichigo stopped speaking and he reached out for her hand. He saw tears rolling down her face, but a small smile upon her lips. "I love you too."

Reaching in, he gave her a small kiss and smiled.

"So, will you be mine again?" Ichigo reached into his pocket and took out a silver locket that had O&I inscribed on the front.

Orihime's eyes widened at the necklace. "You still carried it?" She looked up at him and he nodded.

"Whenever you came back, I was going to be ready for you. I was waiting, you know." Softly chuckling, he placed the necklace around her neck and Orihime's fingers traced the outline of the letters. Both looking into each other's eyes, they realized that they never broke up. It never ended for either of them.


Okay, maybe it didn't correspond to the song very much, but it kinda did. Anywho, please review! It'd be really appreciated. :D

Yay! This one was longer! Lol.
