Author's Note: Small Subplot of Orihime first few days back at high school. I hate to say it but if you just want to read about Aizen then go straight to Chapter 9 (Obsession), otherwise, like always - hope you all enjoy the chapter!
Orihime's Big Day has arrived - Waking up from her beauty sleep, the amber goddess could barely keep her carefree attitude. She found herself with more energy and more time in the morning. Curtesy of being one of Aizen's goddesses, her hair and body stay crisp, and garden-fresh hygiene was innately given to her. Excitement filled her mind to what could come. She could only wonder what challenges that would come with who she is now...
.
.
.
"Well, here you go, sunshine." Orihime told herself, looking in her mirror.
It was 0630. Her first class starts at 0730. She has all the time to get to school and to her class. She smiled at her reflection. In her uniform, she modeled to herself, teasing her growing self-pride and contempt. In the back of her mind, Orihime was somewhat skeptical. Perhaps this has all been too fast. Maybe she should keep a low profile. After all, Inoue was not the type of girl who craves lustful attention from everyone around her. She gazed at some of the cosmetics that Aizen left for her to go with her uniform: A golden neckless with a jet black diamond attached at the center; A black bracelet that contained golden encrypted words throughout the outer lining (most likely to match with the necklace); and so much more. The jewelry that stood out to her the most was a silver wedding ring with a ruby in the center of it. Orihime was a bit uneasy about wearing that, especially considering Aizen's blatant infidelity, and how much of a scandal it would cause for her to walk around with that at her age. She passed on it and decided to wear the bracelet and necklace. Seeing that ring however did remind her of something else which was important...
Gently rubbing her stomach, she remember the most important part of these past few days. Well, I guess that soon it won't be just me in my apartment anymore. But I'm looking forward to it! Although, I haven't thought of a name yet, or if we got a boy or a girl. Orihime tried to feel what was forming inside of her, but could not sense anything. Her body didn't show any sign to the world that she was conceiving a child. For the first time of the day, she frowned, disappointed that she could not feel her unborn child that Aizen promised her. She shook her head violently, as if she was getting back to reality. Flustered, Orihime focused on just getting to school. As long as I stay positive, you'll will be here in no time!And...it's better that no one knows for the time being. She said talking to her unborn child. With her purse holding her schoolbooks, the brand new goddess made her way to school.
.
.
.
Around this same time, the raven haired teenager had just woken up. When she opened her eyes, she gasped, and immediately took in her surroundings. Once she realized that she was home, she sighed in relief. But after a few moments, small tears started to form at her eyes. She was exhausted, and remembered the events of last night. She buried her face in her pillow, not wanting to go back to school. After what Aizen did to her, Tatsuki didn't want to see anyone in her time of sadness and sorrow. With how things finished between the usurper soul king and herself, she doesn't know for sure if she might be...
"Nngr!" Tatsuki grunted throwing her pillow across her room. This is exactly what Aizen would want her to be like - defeated, broken, and drowning in self pity. Tatsuki then remembered something important: Her friends; Ichigo; and Orihime! She may not want to...but, if she goes to school, she could very well run into them. Determination flooded through her veins, and she got up and got herself ready for the day. Although Aizen rag dolled her last night, him deciding to heal her body like she was brand new made it so much easier to get ready for the day. She begrudgingly cursed him as she slipped on her uniform. I pray that they are alright, that she's alright... Rushing out the door, she ran to school to encounter her classmates.
.
.
.
0710. Orihime took the long way to school to see if she could help out any lingering spirits on her way. She was able to help a couple of them. Most students were in the building by now, with one or two still sitting on the steps. Taking a deep breath, Orihime gazed at her school. I can do this! I can do this!
"O-Orihime?! Is that you?" called out Mizuho Asano. Orihime was knocked back into the present as Asano ran up and hugged her.
"Um! Hey, good to see you!" responding Orihime, blushing as she looked away from her classmate's inspection.
"Thank goodness! We were all worried sick about y-" Asano stopped herself as she took in her sweet scent. She then opened her eyes, also realizing that Orihime didn't hug her back yet. Mizuho stepped back and met her silver eyes and her new look, her eyes widening as she examine her classmate's body from head to toe.
"Oh my gosh! You look amazing! Granted you already looked wonderful before but gosh! Where did you get that necklace?! And that bracelet..." Mizuho paused as she realized a more important question.
"...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"
"I...uh...well...ya see..." Orihime said rubbing her own head while somewhat giggling - trying to make an excuse.
"I...had to take care of some business, it was last minute but now I'm good." she replied.
"Well...okay..." Mizuho said puzzled. It was definitely not the whole truth but she decided to not pressure her for now. An awkward pause came to be, so to kill it, Orihime decided to keep things moving.
"It looks like we better get to class. See ya later!" Inoue said walking away from Mizuho who was still standing in the same spot.
.
.
.
Orihime finally got inside her school again in what seemed like an entire spring break. Walking through the hallways was the real test. In the corner of her eyes she saw some students look at her, turn away, then look at her again immediately upon seeing her body. One student was walking and started to stare at her. Before he knew it, he bumped into someone else, dropping all of their belongings. Whispers of Orihime's name was here and there as she made her way to her locker. She didn't know how to feel about this. While she loved her new look, this kind of attention was just bizarre. Perhaps it is just the first day back, that's all.
"Woah! Is that you Orihime?!" An upper classman from the football (soccer) team called out to her. He approached her locker as he posted up in front her. She put on a fake smile and got back to her belongings.
"It's been a while, I love your new look." He said freely examining her face and body.
"Um, thanks..." She managed to while trying to keep the awkwardness from getting to her.
"I mean I know that you looked good before, but wow you're giving Aphrodite a run for her beauty!" He added.
"Thank you...again," Orihime responded, not making eye contact as she put her things in her locker.
Being this close to Orihime, he got a good whiff of her angelic scent, intoxicating him.
"Ya know, I haven't seen you for a while, why don't we go see a movie with each other after school?" He said with a grin.
"Um...no thanks, I have things to take care of." responded Orihime.
"Oh come on, it wouldn't take that long. I think that we would have a great time..." he said as he began to lower his voice, implying other intentions. Finally making eye contact, she let her silver eyes meet his emerald eyes.
"I said - I have things to take care of." Inoue responded again, this time more assertive.
"What kind of things?" Placing a hand on her waist, completely ignoring her tone or the fact that she didn't give him permission to touch her. Without hesitation she slapped it off her. This caused him to flinch back, stunned about how hard her slap was. The slap was heard by some people around them and drew the attention of some eyes and ears.
"Knock it off." the amber hair student demanded.
Frustrated and slightly embarrassed, the student athlete blurted out.
"Ugh! What's your problem girl?! I was just asking you what things do you have to take care of!"
"-Those things are none of your business!" Another classmate shouted as he took the liberty to involve himself in the situation. Orihime quickly turned her head to see another upperclassman from the swim team smiling at her.
"Is this guy bothering you, sweetheart? Don't mind him. It's clear that you don't want to be around him." he said eye balling his fellow classmate.
"Stay the fuck out of this, assclown!" He growled with hostility.
"Perhaps your game has been broken both on and off the field too. You can kick a football, and now you're getting your ass handed to you by a girl," He stated.
Some other students howled and 'oh'd at the comment. This public embarrassment made the football player's blood boil.
The swimmer looked back at Orihime and examine her new look once again, shooting a lustful gaze to her. "Although, I wouldn't exactly call you just a girl, de-" Using his a lack of focus to his advantage, the football player connected his fist with the swimmer's jaw.
"You don't seem to be doing any better yourself." He responded back. By this time, a crowd formed around the three of them. As the swimmer composed himself, they began brawling with each other. Students cheered on for both students. Orihime took this chance to just get to class, she doesn't need to be at the center watch of boys playfighting.
.
.
Tatsuki had just ran to into Mizuho on her way into school, she quickly asked if she had seen Keigo, Michuru, or any of her other friends today. Mizuho responded by saying that she saw most of them, but was caught off guard by Orihime. That was all Tatsuki needed to here. She bolted into the building, through the crowds of students, and to her best friend's whereabouts.
.
.
After Orihime dropped her things in her locker, she finally made her way to her homeroom. Before she got there, a certain raven haired classmate was running right to her - her best friend, Tatsuki Arisawa. She stopped a few feet from her. They just stared at each other. No words were said. Tatsuki was still painting hard from running into her. Tatsuki got a good look at Orihime even without her looking up and down her body. What Aizen told me was true. Moments felt like a eternity as silence was between them. Orihime thought back to what Aizen told her - "I will still mate with other women. They too will become goddesses like you, and breed my demigods throughout the realms. Some may be them will be your former comrades, your former enemies, mentors, teachers, and even your former friends. While you are back in school, I will take my time to ravish their flesh as I did to you before and as I will do again very soon..."/ "I'll pay them a visit..." Orihime didn't know what to say. Has Tatsuki encounter Aizen? Did he mate with her? Make her a goddess like me? I'm not sure...
"Tatsuki...I..." Orihime said, barely audible to anyone and everyone.
Immediately, the raven haired teenager bear hugged her. This time the wind was knocked out of Inoue, but more importantly...she returned the hug back.
Feeling her best friend's body for the first time in what seemed like a lifetime began to make tears escape Tatsuki's eyes. Usually, it would be Orihime crying in front of her, but now the tables have turned.
"I'm never leaving you again..." Tatsuki said in a raspy voice.
Those words stung Orihime as she felt a new warmth inside her heart. She remembered believing that she didn't care about her friends anymore after her first night with Aizen, but soon realized that those thoughts held no weight when compared to this moment. It did not reflect what she was feeling now. Their moment was abruptly interrupted by the school bell, telling them that they have a few minutes to get to class.
"Let's go." The orange hair student said.
Tatsuki wiped her tears away and nodded. They walked together to class.
.
.
.
Now in class and a couple of minutes from the bell ringing again, there was time to observe everyone. Tatsuki's heart skipped a beat as she saw all of her fellow classmates that were with her yesterday: Keigo; Mizuiro; Chizuru; and Michiru. They all looked normal, as if their encounter with Aizen never happened. Keigo and Mizuiro were pre-occupied, as if they were trying to get in contact with someone. Inoue on the other hand could only guess how things went down for them. Chad and Uryu were still missing. Tatsuki called out her classmate.
"Michiru!"
The young woman looked to where the voice came from and smiled upon seeing Tatsuki.
"Oh, hey Tatsuki!" following with a smile and a respectful bow.
Tatsuki was confused.
"Are...you...alright?" Tatsuki said, slowly approaching her.
The brunette teenager titled her head with curiosity.
"Absolutely, why wouldn't I be?"
Tatsuki was visibly shaking, it must have been Aizen, there's no way she could have forget!
Chizuru stepped in and smiled warmly, "Tatsuki, you look paranoid. Perhaps you should calm down and..."
her words trailed off upon seeing the amber goddess in the flesh. For a split second, Chizuru's eyes flickered violet purple and then back to normal. Her breathing began to increase as she stared intensely at Orihime.
"Ori...hime..." she stated, slowly walking towards her. Orihime tensed up. This is odd. She didn't understand why Chizuru was acting like a zombie. She guessed that her new look would've caused her to try grabbing her and complement her warmly as usual, but here...it felt like she was possessed.
Tatsuki took the chance and got in her path. She didn't want to hurt Chizuru but she couldn't let her get near Orihime. Who knows what would happen if she got her hands on her...
"It's been a loooong 24 hours for all of us, why don't we sit down and keep things moving?" snorted out the raven hair student.
"Right! Come on Chizuru let's sit down." Michiru said.
Chizuru didn't respond. All she did was stare darkly at Tatsuki who was in her way. The red hair teenager then proceeded to walk back to her seat, keeping her eyes off everyone for the time being.
The bell rang and everyone got in their seats. Tatsuki sat right next to Orihime. They meet each other's eyes again. When they did, the violet hair student thought back to Aizen's challenge. She was not 100% sure if she could meet it, or if she was up for it at all...
"So...I figure you're probably wondering where I've been right?" Orihime said. This brought Tatsuki out of her thoughts.
"...Um, yeah that's definitely something I want to know."
Orihime crossed her legs, she didn't know where to start, or if Aizen had effected her memories as well.
"Well, you see I-"
"-GOOD MORNING CLASS!" The professor finally spoke out. The entire class responded back.
Orihime was startled, but at the same time relieved. She looked back at Tatsuki, who nodded to her, as if to say: We'll talk later.
"It's good to see you all back here after the long weekend, today we'll be discussing about-"
*BURST!* Two particular students pushed open the door, interrupting the entire class. Their clothes and faces were a bit busted and dusty, as if they rolled around on the concrete. Both parties were painting hard.
"We're sorry that we're late." The orange hair student said.
"We got caught up in an accident." Added the short black haired student beside him.
The professor observed their appearance and acknowledge their claim.
"Yes well, I'm glad you both are alright, please take a seat if you're able to learn." They both nodded.
Orihime's heart dropped. Tatsuki was completely confused, not understanding what the hell is going on.
"Yo! We were trying to get in touch with you man! Glad that you're alright!" Keigo called out. The carrot top warmly smiled and looked at him and Mizuiro.
The two late students took the seats closets to the door. Tatsuki glanced at Orihime to see if she expected this, but clearly saw that something was horribly wrong.
"Well, without further ado, let's get back to it!" said the professor.
For the entire class, Orihime could barely focus.
Why? Why is...Ichigo...here? I thought Aizen said that he sealed him. He's with Rukia...again...both of them...together...She shook her head. There was nothing that could be done at the moment, so she decided to find some answers once they got their lunch break.
.
.
.
As everyone broke out for lunch, Tatsuki and Orihime paired up with each other, they decided on approaching Ichigo to see what happened to him. Orihime spoke out to her previous longest running crush.
"Hey...um...Ichigo..." she said waiting for his acknowledgement.
Ichigo turned to her and locked eyes. Orihime saw nothing but joy in them.
"Orihime is that you? Gosh it's so good to see you!" He proclaimed and hugged her warmly. This flustered Inoue and looked at Rukia who smiled and put a thumbs up in approval. Her heart hammered to herself as she returned the hug, it felt...nice.
"Me and Rukia are heading to get some lunch and go to the rooftop, y'all want to come along?" He asked eye balling Tatsuki who was with Orihime, trying to decipher the situation as he spoke. Orihime and Tatsuki looked at each other. Tatsuki responded.
"Sure, I guess that's cool with us."
"Great! Let's all go then."
With that, the four of them headed off to the cafeteria and then to the rooftop. Orihime and Tatsuki shooting glances at each other the entire time.
.
.
.
When they all got their food, they sat and ate in silence. Everyone was eating except for Orihime, who barely picked at her food. Rukia was the first to speak.
"Alright I know this is late but I just LOVE your new look Orihime! And that jewerly goes nicely with your outfit," stating with content.
"Thank you, Rukia," replied Orihime, not even looking at Rukia directly or smiling back like she usually does. This caused Ichigo and Rukia to look at each other sadly.
"Is there something wrong, Orihime?" asked her fellow orange hair student.
For once, Orihime was not in the mood to lie and beat around the bush. Something was up, and she needed an answer.
"Why are you both acting so nonchalant? What...happened after your battle with Aizen? What happened to the rest of the soul reapers? Where's Chad and Uryu?"
Tatsuki glanced nervously at Orihime, and then to her other two classmates.
Ichigo nodded to Rukia as she returned one of her own. He began to speak after a deep breathe.
"Well, I'm nonchalant because I've just been having a good day. As for this Aizen, we left on good terms. He showed me that in the future, a blood war would begin again. By becoming the new soul king, he stopped it entirely. For the soul reapers, as far as I know most of them are fine. Although I haven't seen most of them since we came back, perhaps I'll pay them a visit when the weekend comes. Chad and Uryu are still recovering from helping us out. For you, I was told by Aizen that if I go to school the next day, you'll be fine."
Ichigo glanced at Rukia who nodded in approval of everything that he said.
So that's what happened. Aizen reshape his memories for them to be on good terms with him. He did that upon unsealing Ichigo.
"Well I'm glad everything's fine now." Orihime stated, but not looking at Tatsuki who was still not quite comfortable with rolling with the obvious lie.
"Now that this conversation happened, let's all go back inside!" proclaimed Rukia. But as soon as she got up...
*BOOM*
An explosion two blocks from their school shook everyone. They all looked on to see an abnormal gigantic adjuchawreck part of the town. Instinctively, Ichigo and Rukia transformed into their soul reaper forms. This surprised Tatsuki, who thought that his powers had disappeared, at least that's what Aizen told her. Now was not the time to ask more questions at the moment.
"Can you accompany us, Orihime?" Rukia ask.
"Um...of course." she responded. But as she got up, Tatsuki grabbed her wrist with a flood of anxiety on her face. "I'm coming too, then." To which everyone did not bother on protesting against.
.
.
.
Once they defeated the hollow, they began on cleaning up the streets and attending to the wounded. Orihime used her powers to heal the unconscious faster and so that no one knew of her powers. After she was done, Tatsuki and her went to find where Ichigo and Rukia went. They saw them on a rooftop and decided to fly up there using Orihime's powers.
Ichigo and Rukia didn't notice them yet. Tatsuki and Orihime saw them engaged in an interesting conversation.
"You're such a show off," teased Rukia.
"Ehh, I'm just feeling it since I've been on a winning streak." Ichigo said defending himself. He let himself face Rukia. The seasoned soul reaper leaned in closer to her substitute, tugging at his clothing.
"Well, maybe I outta humble you every once in a while, hmm? Just to make sure you don't get a head of yourself." She added with a hint of scandal in her voice.
"That's fine by me." smiled back Ichigo. Then for the biggest revelation of the day, the two leaned in and passionately closed the gaps between their lips.
.
.
That moment felt like an eternity to Orihime, she immediately was taken back to the enlightenment that Aizen showed her. She realized that...perhaps, that was their future. This was reality. Orihime's heart dropped and tears began to form around her soft eyes. They kissed as if they have done so a thousand times before. Tatsuki tried the best she could to comfort her best friend. She placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Orihime..."
"-Lets get back to school." Inoue proclaimed. She refused to make eye contact with Tatsuki and didn't even allow her to try and make sense of it. To Orihime, this was just another reminder that she should be done with her past lover. Inoue used her powers to get them back to school as quickly as possible.
.
.
.
Towards the end of the day, Tatsuki and Orihime were walking together. No words were spoken to each other since lunchtime. Then when Orihime got her stuff from her locker, she finally spoke out.
"I need some time by myself." requested the amber hair student.
Her best friend immediately thought back to when she proclaimed to Orihime that she'll never leave her side again. As much as Tatsuki wanted to protest, she agreed. The usually brash young woman spoke in a calm voice.
"Please just tell me when you get home. I'll be here whenever you want to talk to me."
"Thank you," said Orihime coldly while walking away from her. The raven hair student looked on with tears in her eyes by the fact that she couldn't be with Orihime in what seemed like her darkest hour. Tatsuki knew that Orihime didn't have any ill feelings towards her, but she hated seeing her best friend so sick of her situation.
.
.
.
The bell rang and everyone began to leave school. Orihime walked silently past everyone and up to the next floor, mute to any complement they threw at her. One particular conversation suck out, as some students speculated that the fight in the morning was over who would take Orihime on a date. Unbeknownst to her, that rumor spread like a wildfire. She went to the neutral bathroom as nearly all of the students were out of the building by now.
Inoue took a moment to gauze at her angelic reflection. She moved the stray hair behind her shoulder. I should know better than to worry about someone who doesn't feel the same way about me. Besides, I'm a goddess now! There's no reason for me to be-
.
.
*CREAK* - Suddenly, the door opens. A lone student creeps in, instantly locking eyes with Orihime.
.
.
"Um...this bathroom is occupied at the moment..." but she lost her words when she realized that it was the same student who hollered at her in the morning. What stuck out this time was his black eye that he got in the morning, and the fact that his eyes were glowing blue. Orihime tensed up as she realized that technically he should be suspended by now. Why was he still in the building? What's with his eyes? Is he possessed by a hollow now?
"Well well well if it isn't the damsel herself." He snarled out.
Orihime tensed up. She knew that no teachers were here anymore and that most students were out of the building. This bathroom was isolated from most others. To top it off, he was blocking the doorway...
"You need to leave - now," Orihime demanded.
"But why? There's no reason for a woman like you to be alone by herself. Besides we never got to finish our conversation..." he purred out as he slowly closed the door behind him, this canceled out the noises between the bathroom and the outside world. The young goddess decided to put her foot down.
"Just stop, okay! Don't come any closer! If you take one more step closer to me I'll-"
But as if he used sonido, he blitzed the distance between them and muffled her mouth with his hand, making her unable to scream. He pinned her against the wall by using his weight. "Shhh...no need to yell like that. It's just us." He whispered.
Orihime grabbed his arm in an attempt to pry it off him, but it grew futile. His new found strength gave him a brutal edge. She muffled through his assault. Whether he was possessed or not didn't matter anymore, she had to stop him.
Her flower shape hairpins glows as she activates Tsubaki to attack him. She was reluctant to use her powers around regular humans, but this case was an exception. Her attack spirit raced towards him to cut off his arm. No doubt it would be gruesome, but Orihime knew that she could repair his arm once she defeated him. Unfortunately, his aura grew and absorbed her attacks. This confirmed to Orihime that he was indeed possessed by a hollow or held the powers of one.
"Oh my? I wasn't expecting you to possess those kinds of powers. It suits you - you really are some sort of goddess in disguise, aren't you...?"
The senior student starts to take in her delicious scent again. It sends shivers down his body as he moaned in pleasure. Orihime could only watch in discuss as he drove himself further into corruption.
Subsequently, he let his free hand roam her body. It ran through her glamorous hair, then down to her breasts, and to her skit. He twitch in pleasure upon feeling her bare skin.
"Your flesh is angelic, honeybun. With my new powers - we will rule over this world together. I am not the same boy that you met this morning, I can make you more than what you have ever imagine! Just relax, and let me take from you...!"
He then proceeded to rip her skirt off of her. Falling into his reckless carnal desires, he licked Orihime's cheek, causing her to close her eyes in disgust. Despair ran through Orihime's heart at the thought of a school mate raping her with no one nearby to help. The worst thing that ran through her mind was her unborn child. What would happen if this were to go further? The possible consequences ran through her mind for what seemed like forever. But as if heaven was watching over her, Orihime felt something strong from the depths of her soul. She felt a growing power inside of her, as if a deeper spirit inside of her had finally awakened...
.
.
.
She opened her eyes with fierceness and determination. They now glowed amber, along with her hair. A insane yet calm aura formed around her, pushing back his unholy reishi. Her own strength increased exponentially, as she easily pried off his hand around her mouth as it burned his skin on impact, rejecting his filthy touch. His eyes closed as the nerves sent signals to his brain. He hit the back wall in the bathroom, falling on his ass. The hollow infused senior classmate clutched his hand as it was now scorched with third degree burns.
"W-What is this?!"
He opened his eyes and involuntarily looked in the general direction of the amber goddess' true form. The consequence of looking, however, immediately resulted in him losing his eye sight, as he screamed in pain in agony again, clutching his eyes. He never even got to get a good view of her. In frustration and in fear, he growled out.
"You're not a goddess...you're not even a woman. You're...a...monster!"
But Orihime's mindset wasn't the same as before. Another consciousness spoke in her place. Perhaps it was another personality, or an alter ego. Whatever the case was, she dismissed that statement effortlessly.
"No. You're wrong about me. I am who I am, and you will never see the day of light again. I will purge you from this world, demon," she responded in a firm and angelic voice, with no trace of fear in her.
The hollow finally gave into its rage and permanently fused with the student's body and spirit. Its wounds healed as he bellowed out.
"NO! NO NOOOO! YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT ME! YOU'RE...YOU'RE MINE, AND MINE ALONE! YOU SHOULD LEARN YOUR PLACE, GIRL! I'LL RAVISH YOU FOR ALL OF ETERNITY AS I RULE OVER THIS WORLD AND ITS PEOPLE!"
The hollowed human lunged at her, but it was effortlessly blocked by her amped Shiten Kōshun.
"You will not have your way with me, or with anyone else." she simply stated. With nothing left to lose, the hollow went insane.
"Then...then if I can't have you, NOBODY CAN!" screamed the hollow as it threw everything it had at her in an attempt to end both of their lives. The damage blew up the bathroom that they were in. Orihime raised her arm. In the next moment, the hollow was dismembered into small reishi particles. When the dust settle, the amber goddess was still standing, and not a spec of dust on her divine clothes rested on her. The hollow ceased to exists, and the student was sent to the soul society.
.
.
.
Involuntarily, Orihime formed back into her normal human form, now wearing her regular school clothes as before. Her eyes widened.
"W-What just happened?"
Don't worry, you're safe now.
Inoue looked around, trying to figure out where the voice came from.
I rest dormant inside of you, I am the combination of all of your spiritual and angelic powers from Lord Aizen.
She stopped looking around as she focused in on her own spirit.
You awakened me by desiring the strength to reject the unholy.
"Oh um, I see. Thank you so much for saving me."
Not at all, in fact, your willpower saved both of us. I am powerless without your will. Whatever you seek out, I will help in any way that I can Orihime.
"Wow, that's amazing..." She tapped her flower braids, silently thanking them.
The sun began to set as police and fire fighters came to the school building. Using her powers, she flew herself out of the building to a safe distance where no one could find her. When she got home, she remembered a promise that she made to her best friend. She called Tatsuki.
.
.
"H-Hello?"
"Hey Tatsuki, it's me Orihime."
"O-Orihime?! Oh thank God! I saw police go to school, are-are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine, no worries. I just wanted to let you know that I'm home."
"Okay, thanks for remembering."
"Of course...well then, I'll see you at school tomorrow."
"Yup, well...take care. Love y-err uhh, goodnight."
"R-Right, take care, goodnight!"
Both of the girls flustered in their respective rooms as they hung up their cellphones. There was so much more that would happen. Things have just begun.
