"Time Moves Forward":(continued)In the shop Kisuke and Tessia where moving boxes around to make more room for a new shipment that was soon to come in. Kisuke's mind was by far not on the task at hand. His mind drifting from one victim to the next. Kita, with Ichimaru being locked up he wondered how she faired on her own. It was not like Vacanze could step in a help her out. Though, Kisuke was sure if push came to shove; Vacanze's loyalty laid deeper with Kita than Aizen. So if Kita was in true danger he would not hesitate. Yumiko, with her memories finally returning was she hanging in there or did Aizen see this as a chance to break her down and rebuild her like he was trying to do with Kita. Then there was the newly missing Orihime. Was she taken by the ones in Las Noches or did she just up and leave. It was not known either way, and without contact from the ones in Las Noches like before, there was no way of knowing. Plus, with the warning the Goddess left with Kyoraku the day she visited in soul society they could not attempt a rescue mission with such limited details as they had. There was no real prof Aizen took or even had Orihime. His mind then drifted to his student, Karin. She had been training so hard to reach her goal before Aizen made his move. He worried for her wondering if her excessive training was doing more bad than good for her. She was starting to wear out a lot quicker these days while they trained. He looked up and around the room as he adjusted his hat. "What am I going to do with you, Munchkin?" Fade

"Notice":Inoue stepped from a gargunta, the new Seventh Espada at her side. Her high ponytail blowing in the soft breeze in Karakura Town. She was home. But, not to stay. A swift delivery was her task. She clenched a folded white piece of paper in her hand, as she scurried to the door of Urhara's Shop. She knelt down and slid the note beneath the door. "There we go." She popped up and ran back to the Koga's side. "Off we go, Future Man!" "Are you sure you wish to do this? I have told you the outcome of taking this course of action.""It's just a little note, Koga! 112 477 367-221-170." "It's a warning. And, he will turn you away.""I don't belong to him, anyway! Now...Let's go!" "As you wish, Inoue." Koga replied as he closed the gargunta behind them, returning to Las Noches. "Ripple":

"Lost to the Darkness":Kisuke and Yoruichi returned back to the shop hours later after watching Vale and Gin's battle from a far. Kisuke not allowing Yoruichi to interfere in the fight. She was upset, but understood why. They both just hoped Kita would understand. Thankfully, Sumi stepped in and got the fool out of there before Vale could kill him. This was going to be hard to explain to Kita. Kisuke just hoped she was still out; at least until they could get the stubborn ass partly healed and bandaged. The two appeared in front of the shop the same time Sumi appeared with the unconscious Gin. Kisuke shook his head as he looked at his shredded and bloody body of Gin. He was still a mess even with Sumi healing him on their way back from the countryside. He sighed heavily and walked up to the suspended body of the snakes and took the burden from Sumi. "Don't you dare going dying on her." Kisuke told him as he walked into the shop. Moved

"Smoke and Mirrors II":
Koga opened a gargunta in front of Urahara's Shop. Orihime stepped out behind him, her hand in his. "He is a sneaky devil.""Who?" Inoue asked, looking up at the Espada.
"The Octava. Tervaden is going to be none too pleased. He should hope that this does not backfire on him." Koga looked to Orihime, his free hand gently gracing her cheek. "You have one month. Do you remember what I've told you?""Yes." She closed her eyes and nodded. "Learn what I can..." "They will be here soon. You are the same as before you left, Hime. Do not let the pain you've suffered in Las Noches bleed through. If that happens, I will know. I will come to retrieve you."
She nodded as Koga leaned in leaving a gentle kiss on her cheek. "One month." He left, the gargunta closing behind him.

"Joyful Tidings":Ichigo was on his way out of his house when he felt the shiver on the back of his neck from a gargaunta. He growled. "Karin, stay with Yuzu until Dad gets back!" He leaped into his soul reaper form and drew his zanpakuto, morphing the two strange blades. It's about time! I want to fight, came the voice of his hollow counterpart. Shut up, Ichigo growled back. Well, that's not very nice....
What is it?
The door closed.
Yeah, I know. And I lost the trail of the espada behind it. Damn it.
Ichigo shunpo'ed to a phone line and looked out over the town, especially around the shop- His eyes widened and he vanished, reappearing in front of her, eyes wide. "Inoue?" he croaked, hardly believing his eyes.

"I-Ichigo?" Inoue stuttered, casting her eyes downward. She brought her fingertips to her pouting lips as she lifted her head and frantically looked around. "Is...Is it really you? Not...Not a dream? Ichigo?" She reached out to him, her hand trembling. "Is it really you?" She withdrew her hand and stepped back. Afraid. She was home.

Ichigo stepped forward and then paused as the hollow started in his head again.
Wait a minute, King. Don’t you remember how they got your kid sister?”
Ichigo stayed still and then yelled back at his hollow, I won’t die that easily.
Yeah and that is how kings get beheaded. Think, Strawberry. Isn’t there something he wouldn’t be able to copy between you two?
Ichigo’s brow furrowed.
“Inoue?” he called out.
“Yeah?” she whispered. “Ichigo. Are you real?”
Ichigo’s throat closed up. Damn it. “When was the last time you saw your brother?”
“Sora? Why?”
Ichigo turned his head away, getting sick. “Please answer the question.”

Inoue hung her head, wiping away the tears as they fell. "Before you killed him...When he was a hollow..." She raised her hand to the green pins in her hair. "It's...It's really me, Ichigo..." She dropped to her knees, her head still down. "I'm really home..." she said running her hand over the course concert and dirt. "This is real...Isn't it?" She looked up at Ichigo, her vision blurred from the tears pooling in her eyes. "Isn't it?"

Suddenly Ichigo dropped his zanpakuto and wrapped his arms around her. "Inoue! You're back!" He was deaf to his hollow's jeering about 'dropping his weapon for an important girl and what to do next' and just hugged her close.
He pulled back, holding her by the shoulders, smiling weakly into her tearing eyes. "I know what happened, and it won't happen again. You can hide. Kisuke's a genius like that, you know. I can get your mail-" He stopped as she lifted her hand to his lips, quieting.
"He sent me away, Ichigo," she whispered, hand trembling. "Said - said I was worthless to him. Not even - even-"
This time Ichigo covered her mouth before she could continue. "Don't say that about yourself, Orihime." He hugged her again. "I'll make them pay, I promise."

Inoue shook her head, burying her face in Ichigo's chest. "I don't want to think of that. Not right now. Not...ever." She wrapped her arms around him, holding him close. Never wanting to let go. "Can we stand like this? Just a while longer. I don't...I don't want to let go." She inhaled deeply, taking in his scent, his touch, the way he held her. Everything. She didn't want this moment to end. "Please?"

Ichigo felt heat fly to his cheeks and his hollow jeered louder until Ichigo pulled the door shut on him. “Yeah,” he murmured hoarsely, tightening his arms around her, “we can stay like this. I’m not going anywhere. You have all the time in the world.”
He didn't stay silent for long. "Inoue, we can, you know, even go shopping before we hide you. I'm sure you miss your favorite foods. And Karin wil let you drag her around to get another dress. She ruined the last one you told her to get. Something about saving a puppy." He scratched the back of his head. "Dad couldn't stop crying about the loss for days. I guess he liked the color."

Inoue shook her head against his chest. "No." her words muffled. "I just want this to last until I have to wake up...Before the dream is over." She dug her fingers into the folds of his uniform, holding him closer than they've ever been. "I don't want to wake up."

Ichigo blushed deeper at how close she was to him, her unique aroma mixed with the scent of the sand, her curves pressed against his leg and chest, his heart beating faster in his chest, but he didn’t pull away. He owed her this much at the very least.
“Inoue…” he started, “Orihime, you-you don’t have to wake up. This is - is real, and I’ll protect you. You don’t have to go back. Ever. Promise.”
Smooth, King, really smooth.
Shut. Up. and get OUT of this! Again Ichigo pushed his alter-ego away.
Her hair wasn’t as smooth as it used to be. He could tell by the way it scratched his face in the wind. Maybe Yuzu could help with that. Not that it mattered. Because she was still beautiful.
Ichigo took one of her hands as it dug into his uniform. “It will be okay…. Orihime.”

Inoue quickly released Ichigo, placing her hands to her stomach. "Hey! I'm hungry!" She gently poked Ichigo in the chest and smiled weakly. "You wouldn't happen to have any food tucked away in your uniform, would you?"

Ichigo chuckled and scratched the back of his neck. "No, I'm afraid not." Then, he grinned. "But I know where there is." Before Orihime could protest, Ichigo swept her off her feet and had her in his arms. "Urahara's Shop!" he declared and carried her into the shop with a wide smile. |
