(ORIHIME'S POV)

     I easily botted up after hearing the annoying sound beside my bed,looking evily at the alarmed clock i quickly turned it off but before doing that i take a quick glance at the time.And it said it's already 7:00 in the morning.I got up from my bed and take a few streaching of my muscle then went through the door of my bathroom and then i was my face and brush my teeth.

     I look at my face in the miror.Dark circles around my eyes my hair looks like a bird's nest.Then i remember the events that went flashing back in my mind yesterday,tears easily forming beside my eyes and i wipe it with my fingers.I feel pathetic,stupid,worthless weak girl.

     I shook my head to reverse my thoughts.I slap my face to remain calm and i pick up the hairbrush and brush it through my auborn waist length hair.Then after that i done my hair in a messy bun tie knot and walk out in the bathroom and went thru,to the door to procede to the kitchen to prepare myself some breakfast.

    After i was done cooking,I eat silently filling my empty stomach with foods that i like.Then wash my dish and bolted straight up to my room and undress myself to take a shower.Then after spending thirthy minutes in the bathroom i went through my closet and pick up my under garments and put it on then next my simple dress.Then procede to glamour myself,It took almost twenty minutes to finish my hair and make up and i take a quick glance at myself in the full length miror in my closet then i sigh.I grab my keys then went out of the house.

(A/N : End of Orihime's Pov)

    Orihime put her hand up high above her head,shielding her eyes from the morning sun as she looked up at the sky.

     "Oh! That one definitely looks like a yummy soft cotton marshmallow!" Orihime said excitedly, pointing at the sky.

    Tatsuki squinted doubtfully before replying, "I don't quite see it...well, maybe if I turn my head, it sort of looks like a fluffy cotton candyor ?!"....

    Mimicking Tatsuki, Orihime squinted at the cloud for a moment. "I hope he watches out,somewhere out there for me and she sigh deeply".

    Tatsuki studied the worry on her friends face a moment before erupting into laughter. "Y-your imagination never ceases to amaze me, Orihime".Well maybe he is she reply to her bubbly friend.

    Blinking, Orihime offered her friend a curious look. "Is it too much? Sometimes I think so, especially when I talk so much that people get that glazed look, or they have that tiny twitch, you know? The one at the edges there, sometimes at the corner of their eye or mouth, or both and then they make those excuses like, 'I think I left the stove on' or 'I need to feed my plant', and it just seems so odd that suddenly their plant is hungry. Are some plants really that demanding?"

    Tatsuki, the good friend that she was, patted Orihime's arm comfortingly. "No Orihime, it's not too much. If someone acts like that then, well, just don't worry about it. You are who you are, and you shouldn't change for anybody."

     At this, Orihime couldn't help but smile. Tatsuki really did understand her. Even if Orihime had left her to go to Soul Society and have her big adventure saving Kuchiki-san, Tatsuki had been here for her when she returned. She was always there for her.

   "You know, sometimes it feels like we have the same conversations we had when we were little." Tatsuki said, looking into the sky again, a whimsical look on her face.

    It was true, Orihime thought. They had always walked to school together and looked at the clouds and talked about anything. These days were truly special to her. Ichigo seemed to have perked up since Rukia was safe, and all was calm. Sado was his usual quiet self, but she could now eat lunch with him and not feel so silly when he didn't say much, because that was just how Sado-kun was. And Ishida, though he seemed sad for some reason (Orihime thought he must miss Rukia, that dress was very nice after all), surely had to be glad to be back in sowing club.

She never wanted these precious times to end.

    "Mm," Orihime agreed with a wide smile. "I hope we can always do this."

   It had been so simple then, to look into the future and see it so unchanging for them.Then Orihime remember something in this place in this park.

   It was a clear day then too, when they arrived.

    Or at least it was, until countless souls filled the sky and bodies filled the streets. There had been only two of them, though she had been expecting many more due to the sheer amount of damage. Whatever they were, they were strong, much stronger than either she or Sado-kun.

    The two boney things certainly looked the part of bad guys as well. There was the small one; he was definitely the brains. He was quiet and cold, emotionless and robotic, and if it hadn't been for his cold words towards Sado-kun, she might have felt pity for his sad appearance. The large one, then, had to be the brawn. He was loud, destructive, and had little care for his surroundings. She could tell he was a creature that thrived on the pain of others. Orihime knew all of this, knew she was weaker, and also knew she was the only thing standing between them and a dying Tatsuki and Sado.

"Santen Kesshun".

   Her shield cracked under the weight of a heavy finger, and she stood as her last defense shattered before her.

"Souten Kisshun".

   The large one, with the boney mask around his jaw and head, hesitated at the use of her powers, but Orihime wasn't thinking about him; instead she was summoning her feeble courage.

    Kurosaki-kun is on his way, just a little longer and then things will be alright.

    Her will was strong in that moment and she could feel it bubbling inside her, ready to burst out.

"I will do this".Orihime utter those words to herself then she extended her arms out in front of her."I can do this".she chant again.

    Her hands snapped up as if to hold them back."I think i can do this".They were so powerful. Their energy made the air far too heavy and her body tingled, alarming her of danger.

    She hung her head, her breathing becoming rapid as her heart thundered in her ears."Can I really do this"???..

     Her throat was so dry and doubt was clouding her mind. By now, the 'what ifs' had begun to form, eating away at what had once been a strong will. It was what always happened, the reason why she could never be strong when it counted. Her doubt overpowered her.

    By the time she had tried to shake it all away, Tsubaki was left with a fraction of the power he should have had, but she could no longer hesitate.

"Koten Zanshun"!!!.

    And though she had wanted to do it so badly, to save Kurosaki-kun from the stress, to save her friends, to finally save herself…she had failed.

    And moments later, while she lay there broken and staring up at the sky, she felt the edges of her world begin to crumble.

    My released wings scatter my wishes towards this destroyed world to a sky full of prayers.

Time reversal, spatial renewal, or perhaps something completely different.That's what the arrancar wanted for her because of her power "NEGACION" it entrigue the fort in command,Aizen's army.No other than the stoic"Ulquiorra Cifer".

   Suddenly orihime felt the touch of someone in her hands.That's when her mind back to reality.

   "Tatsuki,I'm sorry about that it's just that I couldn't get away with it"."Right now I still remember this place where I first meet him".She confess to her friend and tears tainted her beautiful face.

  "It's ok,there's no need to apologies about that.I know how you feel right now just let it go orihime".Tatsuki easily hugged her friend comforting her.
