BLEACH - Episode 0 part 2

A/N: This took place after BLEACH episode 0 (BLEACH ep 227), and just before BLEACH anime & manga 1.

D: ALL COPYRIGHTED CHARACTERS ARE A TRADEMARK OF TITE KUBO, STUDIO PIERROT & WEEKLY SHONAN JUMP MAGAZINE. THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS THAT WERE USED WERE FROM THE MALE BULLIES THAT ORIHIME HAD WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER AND NOTHING ELSE.

On the 2nd day after meeting and befriending both Mizuiro Kojima and Keigo Asano, Ichigo Kurosaki is now walking alongside his best friend, Chad Sado in order to stay out of trouble and to get to school on time. However, trouble always seems to find him sooner or later when walking down the road and seeing a group of delinquents led by Kamakura Highschool's Head Delinquent, Reiichi Ōshima wanting to fight him and Chad again.

*SADISTIC SMILE & LAUGH *CRACKING FINGERS *READY TO FIGHT "Well! WELL!,... If it is Ichigo and Chad. It's good to see you 2 again, how you've been doing, huh?!... I BET YOU GUYS YOU CAN'T FIGHT US ALL ONCE NOW, CAN YOU... HAHAHA!... But it's alright, I'll give you 2 at less a chance t-?!... HUUUUUUH!? WHAAAAAAAAAAAA-?!" said Reiichi while boasting about himself winning the fight today, with only for both Ichigo and Chad to just walk away and slowly ignore him out in the distance when head inside the schoolgrounds.

*WALKING DOWN THE ROAD *STERN LOOK *CAUSALLY TALKING TO CHAD DURING THE WALK "So Chad?... DO YOU WANNA HEAD TO THE ARCADE TODAY?... I HEARD THAT BOTH KEIGO & MIZUIRO ARE OFTEN HEADING OUT THERE TOO... So maybe we should meet them there too..." said Ichigo to which Chad just responded with a 'Hmmmm...' and a nod to him in agreement too.

Although, this now just made Reiichi get even more angry, that made him completely lose control and orchestrated him & his men to attack them in perfect sync, *GETTING ANGRY *FIST CLUTCHING TO THE GROUND *POINT HIS FINGER AT ICHIGO & CHAD *ORDERING HIS MEN TO ATTACK "GRRRRRRR!... BOOOOOOOOOYS!... LET'S GET HIM!... (*RUNNING AFTER ICHIGO & CHAD *PUNCHED & KICKED *A BLOODY PULP *IN PAIN) UHHH!.. UGGGGGGGGGGGH!...". But you can see, it didn't work again and he's gotten beaten down once again them 2 too.

Soon afterwards, both Ichigo and Chad were in the hallway when they both met up with Keigo and Mizuiro. *RUNNING UP TO ICHIGO *HAPPY FACE *TRYING TO CHEER HIM UP "HEY ICHIIIIIIIIIGO!... LETS GO HANG OUT TOOOOOODAY, DUUUUUUUUUDE!... Ah!" yelled out Keigo to his friend but soon runs into a big old lariat from him instead. *CLOTHESLINES KEIGO *FROWN *STERN VOICE "Keigo, good to see you...". Thus making Mizuiro to sigh out while Chad was just there standing in his usual melo expression on his face now.

Then Keigo said something too unexplanatory soon after as well, telling about a certain somebody in their class. *ON THE GROUND *SCRATCHING HEAD *EYES SHINNING *PERVY SMILE & LAUGH *BLUSH "HEY GUESS WHAT?!... THERE'S A SUPER HOT AND BIG BREASTED CHICK IN OUR CLASS, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU GUYS COULD HELP ME GET CLOSE TO HER, AND INTRODUCE ME TO HER TOO!... HAHAHA!...". Making Ichigo and Mizuiro to look at him with contempt and sigh out. *SIGH *HAND ON HIP *EYES CLOSED TO OPEN AGAIN *SMILE *LOOKING DOWN AT KEIGO "OOOh yeah!... What's that girls name anyways?..." said Mizuiro. *EYES SHINNING *PERVY SMILE *BLUSH "Who isn't 'THAT!' girl in our class... That intelligent and athletic chick with the long brunette hair & long legs, that short hair & total adorable little cutie, that sexy four-eyed girl with the short red-hair, that seductive short-haired vixen with the big boobs..." said very passionate and pervy Keigo when describing some of the girls in the class to them (talking about Ryo Kumieda, Michiru Ogawa, Chizuru Honsho & Mahana Natsui all respectively), *STANDING BACK UP *STERN LOOK *EYES SHINNING *PERVY THOUGHTS *BLUSH *DROOL "But despite all of them, there's still one female within our class that stands on top of that mountain... WITH HER BEAUTIFUL LONG ORANGE HAIR, HER LOVELY SLIM FIGURE, HER LONG LEGS... AND OF COURSE!... HER GIANT SIZE BOOBIES OF HERS!... 'The Goddess of Kamakura Highschool' Ms. Orihime Inoue...".

Which basically made both Mizuiro & Ichigo to look at Keigo with nothing but disgust or contempt for him, leading to Ichigo to try and talk him out of it, *FROWN LOOK *SIGH *LOOKING AT KEIGO WITH CONTEMPT "HAAAAAH!... Of course you would go for her... But a word of advice, I wouldn't for your own good...". But Keigo didn't listen very well and said soon after, *FINGER POINTING *STERN LOOK *EYES SHINNING *PERVY THOUGHTS "ALRIGHT KEIGO!... LET'S GO HANG OUT WITH THE CUTIE..." *RUNNINNG OFF IN THE DISTANCE, shouted Keigo in joyful delight at trying to hangout with the beautiful & busty Orihime. Much to Ichigo's warnings though, *SURPRISED LOOK *TRYING TO STOP KEIGO "Ah!... H-H-HEY KEIGO?!... And he's gone... (*SIGH) HAAAAAH!...".

Nonetheless, nothing was going to stop Keigo from hanging with the school's most prettiest girl which become more apparent when he saw her in-person, being perversely gleeful about it. *EYES CLOSED *GOOFY SMILE *PERVY THOUGHTS *NOSE SNIFFING *WAVING HAPPILY *WALKING UP TO ORIHIME "HEY ORIHIME! IT'S GOOD TO SEE Y-!..." Keigo said out loud to Orihime, just before someone came next to her and hello to her as well. *EYES CLOSE *HAPPY FACE *WAVING HAND *WALKING UP TO ORIHIME "Hey Orihime!... It's good to you..." said another female student who looked more tomboyish but still good looking, and that person was Tatsuki Arisawa who's both Japanese U-15s champion in Karate and is going for the U-18s championship this year, plus Orihime's best friend. *GETTING ANGRY *POINT FINGER AT TATSUKI *COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING INTERRUPTED "UGH! EXCUSE ME!... I WAS TELLING TO HER FIRST!... SO DO YOU MIND AS TO LEAVE US ALONE FOR A SECOND, MS!..." said an annoyed Keigo after Tatsuki interrupted him talking to Orihime.

Although, this was the biggest mistake to try and argue with Tatsuki, even when he doesn't know of it yet. *TURNING AROUND *A MENACING LOOK *ANGRY FACE *STERN VOCALS "Oh!... I SEE THAT I INTERRUPTED YOU, HUH?!... (*MOVE FORWARD TO KEIGO'S FACE *GETTING ANGRIER) Maybe you should think about the person you're messing with and rethink your strategy before going up to Orihime to ask her out, and insulting me... RIGHT!..." said Tatsuki menacingly. Which in turned made Keigo to coward in fear after seeing Tatsuki's scare face, *IN FEAR *TEARS *COLD SWEATS *MUMBLE *MUMBLE "A-I-AAH!... (*INNER THOUGHTS) OH MAN!... This chick is super scary and murderous aura is sooooo intense...". *ORDER ORIHIME *WALKING AWAY "LETS GO ORIHIME!..." said Tatsuki to Orihime, who replied to her with a "Yes Tatsuki...", leading them to walk away.

*IN FEAR *TEARS *COLD SWEATS *EYES CLOSED *HAND UNDER CHIN *INNER THOUGHTS "H-Hmmmmm?... Orihime said that her name is Tatsuki... Hmmm? Where have I heard that name before... HMMMMMM?..." Keigo explained to himself within his head, but soon after it came to him instantly, *A SUDDEN REALISATION *SURPRISED "AH!... I REMEMBER NOW!... She's a member of that Karate club in Kamakura that does very good in the Japan Nationals... SO SHE'S A KARATE-KA HUH?!... Oh no! That's not good for me, I'm doomed if she a super strong karate practitioner... (*FAKE HOPE *SMILE WITH FEAR) B-B-BUT MAYBE IT'S ALL A CHEAP RUMOR RIGHT?... I-I MEAN, SHE-SHE CAN'T BE THAT STRONG, R-R-RIGHT HEHE!...".

But that feeling of false hope soon ended poorly when Keigo talked to Ichigo about his experience before, *SITING ON GROUND *LOOKING UP TO KEIGO FROM GROUND *SURPRISED LOOK "Ah!... UGH! I knew this was gonna happen... You better think of what to do next before it gets really messy...". This shocking Keigo completely when Ichigo said that to him, who in turn didn't know how to respond, *IN FEAR *NERVOUS FACE *COLD SWEATS "W-W-W-Wait... S-S-So she's... SHE'S THAT STRONG!...". *BEING CALM & COLLECTIVE *STERN LOOK *NOD "HM!... She's a little too strong... You know how she's the Japanese Karate Champion for the U-15s... Well! That's in the men's division, because she was basically destroying every other females division out there... And now, she's moving up a division because of it too... SO!... YEAH!..." said Chad. Making Keigo even more nervous while saying to himself, *HANDS ON HEAD *LOOKING DOWN *IN FEAR *NERVOUS FACE *COLD SWEATS "UGH! WHAT HAVE I DONE!... I NEED TO GROVEL AT HER FEET SOON, OR I'LL DIIIIIIIIIIIE!... (*TEARS) HAH!...".

To which he did in the end, and while Tatsuki forgave him, she said something else soon afterwards too. *SEEING KEIGO BOW & GROVEL *PATTING KEIGO THE SHOULDERS *SMILE "It's alright. I forgive you... (*SEEING KEIGO'S EYES SHINE AS A SIGN OF HER FORGIVING HIM *GRABBING KEIGO BY HIS SHIRT'S COLLAR *LIFTING HIM IN THE AIR *ANGRY FACE *WARNING HIM) BUT IF YOU EVER INSULT ME OR BE A PERVERT IN-FRONT OF ME & ORIHIME AGAIN!... I'LL ENNNNNNNND YOOOOOOOOOOU!...". Making Keigo to go back in fear and just nodded to her answer, whereas everyone of the boys just sighed at him after seeing that.

This eventually led onto Orihime wonder where Tatsuki is, before running straight into the group of boys. *LOOKING FOR TATSUKI *WALKING AROUND *BUMP INTO THE BOYS "HM! HM! HM! HM!... HMMMMM!, WHERE IS TATSUKI?... (*FALLEN TO THE GROUND) UH!... UGH!... OH! I'm sorry..." said Orihime after accidently running into someone. *FALLEN TO THE GROUND *RUBBING BACKSIDE *IN PAIN "OOOOOW!... Hey watch where your going, will you..." *TURN BODY AROUND, said Ichigo. *EYES CLOSED *HANDSCRATCHING *AWKWARD SMILE & LAUGH "Y-Yeah... Again sorry... (*EYES OPENED *LOOKING AT THE PERSON SHE HIT PROPERLY) Hah?!..." expressed an apologetic Orihime who then turned all shy and gleeful when she saw the young man she hit, which then made her have some flashbacks of her past.

Set during a time 5 years ago, when Orihime was being bullied again when her hair regrew, and Tatsuki wasn't there to save her either. *PULLING ON ORIHIME'S HAIR *HOLDING SCISSORS *PICKING ON ORIHIME "HEHEHE!... Tatsuki is here to save you now...", "THAT'S RIGHT! SUCKS FOR YOU, ORIHIME HAIR...", all said a group of male bullies who're once again trying to bully Orihime for having long orange-hair now that Tatsuki is on a vacation with her family. But soon after, some mysteries boy who also has orange hair came to her rescue, *GRABBING THE BULLY'S WRIST *PULLING THE WAIST DOWN HARD *ANGRY FACE "SOOOOO!... You like bullying a helpless little girl just because she has orange hair, huh?!... AH OKAY DUDE! WHY DON'T YOU GO PICK ON SOMEBODY ON YOUR OWN SIZE WHO HAS ORANGE HAIR TOO!..." *JUDO THROW BULLY TO GROUND *PUNCH OTHER BULLY TO THE FACE *KICKING OTHER BULLY TO THE FACE. This act of kindness (and the fact that one who saved her was good-looking too), instantly made Orihime to fall in-love with this little boy with orange hair. *LOOKING AT ORIHIME *LIFTING ORIHIME OFF THE GROUND *CLEANING UP ORIHIME *STERN FACE "Are you okay..." said this young orange haired boy who save her. *LOOKING AWAY *BLUSH *NERVOUS FACE "Y-Y-Yeah...". This was made apparent when they both gotten off the ground and stood-up in the air to dust the cobwebs out. But then that little orange haired boy started to walk away, then leading the young Orihime to call out to him, *CALLING OUT TO THE LITTLE BOY *NERVOUS FACE *LOOKING AROUND "U-UMMMM! EXCUSE ME!... CAN YOU-CAN YOU TELL ME YOUR NAME PLEASE!... Hmmm..." said Orihime. With the boy replying back to her by saying, *LOOKING BACK AT ORIHIME *STERN FACE *FROWN "Oh! It's-...".

Thus ending the flashback now by having Orihime to say out loud, *ON THE GROUND *EYES SHINING *CONFUSED FACE *BLUSH "Ichigo Kurosaki!...". Making Ichigo to turn back to her and say, *FROWN *A LITTLE IRRITATED "HUH?!... Y-Yeah.. I am... What of it..." said Ichigo back Orihime who soon came to realise that he's the one who saved her from those bullies that time 5 years ago, even though he doesn't remember anymore. *FROWN *A LITTLE IRRITATED *EYES OPEN & CLOSE *SIGH "HAAAH! It's alright, just please be a little bit more careful next time, okay?!..." said Ichigo back. To which Orihime just nodded in agreement as he soon walks away with a scared to death, Keigo and the rest of his male friends in the group too. *LOOKING AT ORIHIME *CONFUSED FACE *EYEBROW TWITCH UP "HUH?!... Orihime.. YOU OKAY?!..." said a little bit worried Tatsuki to Orihime. Who was surprised again by saying, *SURPRISED LOOK *LOOKING AT TATSUKI *EYES CLOSED *BLUSH *AWKWARD SMILE & LAUGH "UGH?!... Oh! Y-Yeah... I'm fine Tatsuki... J-J-Just thinking about things... HEHEHE!". Confusing Tatsuki even more now, but that expression of being in-love with Ichigo didn't fade away when looking at him again as he starts hanging out with his friends, which Tatsuki also took notice of as well. Explaining her friends situation in her own head, *INNER THOUGHTS *LOOKING AT ORIHIME & ICHIGO WITH A LITTLE CONTEMPT *A LITTLE SAD FACE *AWKWARD SMILE *SIGH "HUH!.. Ichigo you idiot... If you don't noticed the feelings of the new girl you made fall in-love with you... HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO EVER MAKE YOU FALL FOR ME TOO... HUH?!...".
