Orihime

"Who would have thought that you would have a heart?" He didn't have anything left to say anymore.

Something large and heavy settled in the pit my stomach. Our story was only beginning, but it felt he wanted to end it before giving it a chance. He caught me staring, and I missed the tender expression of before, now he looked at me with an expression of tender resentment, for who we were, for how we turned out to be.

"Ori-nii."

Karin curled her light beige dress, nervously in front of the table. "I pray that you two always stay together." She glanced over her shoulder at a tall young man her age in a gray tuxedo. " . . . This is Toushiru-Kun, my, my b-boyfriend."

He bowed slightly. "I wish you a happy wedding life."

Kurosaki-Kun leaped out of his comfortable sofa and halted in front of the young man and squinted at him. I scrambled to follow him, and thanked them, but it was on deaf ears.

"If you fancy my sister and did any funny stuff to her," Kurosaki-kun stood in his face so close, and murmured something that could've been a warning, as I noticed Toushiru-Kun's pale skin turned more pale.

I glanced around the daylight themed cathedral, at the Juliet Roses, and flowers that covered the whole Alter. Upstairs in the corner were Violin begin played by a group of people in black suit, the music, which could easily be ignored, but added enough pleasantness to the conversations. Then where Rangiku-san, her face appeared approving, was now sitting talking to Gin who half listened to her. Max-kun, who got along with everyone so easily, an overprotective little brother like I needed any more of that, now hung with Yuzu-cha, and basically, Keigo-kun tagged along wherever she went. I remembered he whispered earlier that he finally asked her out and it was not a date like date, but I knew Keigo-kun.

'It was a date like a date to him.' I thought, and giggled inwardly.

I noticed Candice-cha, was in the same predicament as she'd always been, asking for more Photos because she thought they weren't good enough, Shouko-kun was the only one who entaintained her. Shirayuki-san and Grammy-kun, were talking with Rukia-san, who smiled in return, and didn't try to add anything in the conversation. Giselle-san was with her Dad and Michele's family, and finally I watched from far, Menina kept her hand on his chest and Michele held her arms were flirting with each other, it had always been like this between them. Now that I had looked around, I noticed with dread there weren't anybody from Kurosaki-kun's side and remembered the way he had complained about the crowd earlier. 'Does he even have any friends?' I thought.

"And what about me? You're humiliating me by disrespecting, Toshirou-Kun!"

I looked back at the two siblings who were debating whether to throw a tantrum at each other or not?

"Did I hurt your feelings?" Kurosaki-kun directed at poor Toshirou and he replied in a 'no' "See, he doesn't mind." Karin bailed her fist and opened her mouth when suddenly he put out his hand the way he would do back in school when I wanted to talk too. "We are done talking Karin."then he leaned into my ear, murmured, "I'll be back. If it's alright with you?"

His brown eyes lingered on my face now, and I forgot everything, his shaved face made him look so much like highschool, and his too long to be tidy pulled back brown hair. "Sure," I whispered, as I tried to hide my beaming smile and calm my frantic heart. I saw his retrieving back, walking towards where Uryu-kun and Sado-san were at the far left side of the aisle. Then Karin's back started to come into view. They stopped at the nave in front of the alter, their jaws clutched tightly. I feared they might draw blood from their fists if they kept tightening in any further.
