Helping Orihime? She did like to help people for sure, having said that Ana also couldn't just sit by and watch her friends and everyone else fight for the fate of the whole world she had to get involved herself, fight for her chance to live, fight for her families chance to continue living. Ana nodded her head a little. Where she would fight though she was unsure. "Maybe I can bring all the wounded to you" she said quietly with a small smile, she had no idea, she'd figure something out, it'd hit her where she belonged the moment she saw it.
"Yes I'm coming to that" Ana stated. She didn't state how Ichigo had asked her in person though because Ana had been there at the time. Just like she didn't mention the information Ichigo had told her about, it was not her place to say it was Ichigo's to say to the others if he wanted them to know. Of course Ichigo had not told her about the Shiba line so she was unsure if his father had told him that bit or not, she knew because his dad had told her and she wanted to tell Ichigo she knew but if he didn't know then she had to stay quiet, which she hated.
Hopefully Orihime would enjoy the book, there was romance in it and some happy endings for people but not for others, it was something Ana really loved reading personally however it didn't mean it was for everyone. While Ana had no idea how Orihime's confession would go with Ichigo or how Ichigo felt about Orihime she wanted to make it clear no matter what happened between them they would still be friends. She could never see Ichigo and Orihime hating one another, it was simply not possible at all. Of course if Ana had known what Orihime was thinking she'd have tapped her on the head with a book before going to Soul Society and giving Rangiku what for.
"You're not an idiot Orihime, you're just a girl in love" she added shrugging her shoulders. Ichigo was loyal to his friends so no matter what happened she was sure the two of them would still be friends because if not it was not only Ana Ichigo would have to deal with but Tatsuki too no doubt about it.
Waving her hand she shook her head, Orihime didn't owe her anything, it was just some advice and a book, nothing really. Nodding her head when Orihime said she was planning to call Ichigo to hang out sounded like a good plan so far and the approach Orihime was planning sounded good to Ana. "Sounds good so far" she added with another nod of her head "You know if you need help you just let me know, or if you need to talk after you spoken to him you just call me and I'll come by" she smiled at Orihime.

She smiled with a nod ''Sure...you know where i'll be then'' she said. She could picture herself in the 4th division Unohana had already taught her some things and had got to know a bit better. She always seemed to have an effect on people that made them do what she said when she flashed a smile it must be how well respected she was. She did wonder if she would go onto Soul Society after she passed she'd probably be put straight in the 4th division was good to think after she passed on she'd still be helping people. She was also think Ana would become a shinigami in the afterlife Ichigo too, although he was more likely to be made a captain with his history in Soul Society. At least they were all respected humans to the shinigami.
Glad that Ana was up for the secret training she nodded with encouragement ''Oh great yes another one of us..'' she began. ''I wonder what the Soul Palace is like...we will meet the Soul King!'?'' she said he was a god right so maybe they wouldn't meet them because of all the high security around that person. She wasn't aware of all of Ichigo's shady past how he was actually royal himself, would that mean at least Ichigo got to meet the Soul King maybe only royals could go see him? she was pumped for going there and all for her ability getting even better what could they do for all of them?
She knew things in life wouldn't always go her way, some might and things would run smoothly like if she got into university it would help her progress into a career but in her love life nothing had been progressing it was just life and you couldn't have it all, shed like to but things happen and this book Ana had leant her sounded like that how different people cope with different situations. Would be a good read. It was best she went into this confession not expecting so much from Ichigo if he didn't want a girlfriend then that was fine she'd much rather be in his life than nothing at all romance or none at all it didn't matter she didn't want to be anything less than his good friend. Ichigo wouldn't hate her he wasn't like that towards her it would embarrassment on both sides and a little awkward but that she could deal with.
Her cheeks flushed a little she was a girl in love, ever since he first spoke to her when they were 12 in the clinic she just liked his company and from then grew an attachment. She knew both Ana and Tatsuki would come down on Ichigo like a tonne of bricks if she was ever hurt but she couldn't see it herself she'd only feel hurt if he didn't take her feelings into much consideration or he later unceremoniously dumped her but it didn't sound like Ichigo, when she thought of Ichigo she thought of loyalty he was fiercely loyal to his friends and family so why would he hurt her, right? being loyal meant he'd show and give support no matter what.
She grinned seeing Ana liked her plan of action ''Think i'll be ok then?'' she said. This was probably the most nerve wracking thing forget taking on a Quincy confessing to a guy who was so indifferent and nonchalant at times you just couldn't predict what was going on in his mind. ''So when do i tell him? after the war, during?'' she said when was the best time to drop a bombshell like that.

She had no idea if they would meet the Soul King but she shook her head "Highly unlikely. I believe only very few people have ever met him" Ana was not getting any hope up of meeting the Soul King, he was kind of like a big deal really and while Ana knew he was important and needed to be protected which she would aid in she had no desire to meet the guy personally.
"Oh yea you'll do fine, practice in the mirror" she said, that sort of thing worked right? That way Orihime was seeing someone when practicing even if it was still herself. "Or if you wanted someone to practice on I could always put on headphones with music playing loudly and you can just play out different scenarios until you find the right words... that way you are looking at someone else and I wont hear you so you wont have to be embarrassed" she added shrugging her shoulders.
Ana was completely unsure when Orihime should confess, that was for her friend to decide. Sometimes timing could mean everything and sometimes it didn't. She could tell Ichigo before the war, if something happened to Ichigo Orihime might never forgive herself for not confessing to him and always wonder 'what if' but if something happened to Orihime during the war and she had confessed Ana was sure Ichigo would never forgive himself for letting something happen to someone he cared about and someone who loved him even if he did not feel the same way, that was just who Ichigo was.
No, Ana could not tell her when the time was right for her friend to confess. "I wouldn't say during a war is the best time... having said that though, when you feel it is the right time I suggest that's the moment you confess" she added giving Orihime a warm smile. No she was sure confessing during war was a very bad idea, especially if she was rejected how would Orihime react, it was a big thing to confess about and could have huge repercussions.

Orihime was a little disappointed at the idea of not meeting the Soul King she had begun to picture what he may look like, a wacky hairstyle, blue, no green hair some shades because he was probably really cool and edgy at the same time and wearing a long cloak that images came up in her mind she suddenly laughed ''I wonder if he has green hair and some shades'' she smiled tapping her chin in deep thought.
She nodded a mirror was a good idea and Ana had even suggested she put on headphones so she couldn't hear what she would say but still allow her to speak out in front of someone. ''Um..i....'' she froze then looked down placing her hands on the table and breathing in and out once before speaking. ''I haven't really thought of the exact words though...im hoping it will just come to me...what to say'' she said. ''But how do I actually word the line'' she said the one line that confessed how she loved him did she actually say those very words or just straight up ask if he'd want to be with her properly what would best appeal to Ichigo she didn't know.
She had given it some thought about when to tell him, she felt like during would be better, but knowing she was going to confess to him how could she look him in the eye for longer than a couple of seconds at the same time the longer she left it the more awkward she would feel around him. But the war could have some serious consequences nope during would have to be she just need a chance to catch him maybe if he needed to drop by and get some medical things or she'd go looking for him when he wasn't fighting.
''I will find the right time...if im ever on my own with him I will do it then'' she said, after confessing she would know at last, did he like her did he ever think of her at all? was she more than just a friend.

For a moment Ana was a little stumped before smiling gently, Orihime sure did come up with some strange ideas sometimes, she had a very creative imagination, she'd probably work really well with kids. Unlike Orihime Ana was completely unsure what the Soul King looked like or what to expect, was he bald, did he have hair, did he have like three eyes for the all seeing eye, hmm now wouldn't that be interesting, honestly though she had no idea.
She understood Orihime's predicament and nodded her head a little "Yea it can be tough. I'm sure it will all come to you... speak from the heart" she said. She was sure whatever Orihime did Ichigo would still respect her. Ana was the kind of girl who often went for what she was after, just as she had with Turasho, she had made a fool of herself only to cover her tracks up with a kiss which he had returned, it had kicked off from there. Things didn't always act like that though and she didn't think that was the right course for Orihime to take with Ichigo. "Ichigo likes honesty right... so just be honest with him" she pointed out.
"You'll do fine... until then though..." she said tapping the book "It'll help" she nodded her head and look over the book shelves "Did you need any other books?"

Orihime's imagination often ran away with her she was full of creativity her projects in school were over the top and bursting with visionary treats to feast your eyes. When she didn't know what someone or something looked like she let her mind run away she even drew herself in the future with missiles and her as a robot and then later she drew a tyrannosaurus doing yoga she thought they were great but Tatsuki didn't share her enthusiasm.
She smiled a confident smile as Ana told her all would come to her in the moment, she was so nervous but whenever she was around Ichigo she felt more comfortable after they just chatted normally he made her laugh and she dint think people saw that side of him they never rowed or argued they would disagree but you couldn't have all the same ways of thinking. She wondered what his first reaction would be when he suddenly realised what she was trying to tell him would he think she was joking or messing with him?
Ana was right no hiding it anymore just out with the truth he did like honesty and to the point stuff Ana had gone after what she wanted and just went for it and it worked, if Orihime just went in and kissed Ichigo he probably wouldn't appreciate his personal space being invaded so soon no she had to explain the situation first and see if he returned her feelings before she got too close but maybe the end result could be that she became that close with him. She smiled at thought she liked the idea of being that person next to him. ''How did you and Turasho know you liked one another?'' she asked inquisitively as Ana handed her the books she needed ''Well I need another action adventure book I love fantasy adventure books'' she said she had plenty at home she brought herself but she'd read them all she had all she needed to confess to Ichigo now.

For a moment Ana hesitate in her thought process. Orihime wanted to know how her and Turasho knew they liked one another! Ah... well, how was she supposed to explain that. Ana swallowed for a moment before handing Orihime another book. Let's see how to word it exactly, ack not even she knew how to tell the story, it all played out in her mind but putting it to words was another matter. "Hmmm..." was all she said so far as tapped her chin.
However Ana did know she could answer her other need, books on fantasy and adventure. "Oh! have you read The Wheel Of Time books? There is like thirteen in the series... you might like them, based on like medieval times with adventure and fantasy and baddies and magic and good and... it's interesting" she added heading to the fantasy section of the library and scanned the shelves. There were hundreds of fantasy books, too many too choose from.
As she scanned the shelves for what she was looking for Ana let out another small sigh. "I made a fool of myself you know. The first time I'd seen him in months after he vanished. To be honest I was pretty stupid" she said as she shook her head glancing to Orihime "I got all worked up over the fact I said he should smile more because he looked really beautiful... I ended up covering it up with a kiss" Ana smiled for a brief moment before it vanished "But well we all know how that love story ended now don't we" she said shaking her head.
Ana remembered it as if it were yesterday, she had moved on since, of course part of her still loved Turasho, always would, he had been her first ever love but then she also was hurt by it and furious at him too, it was a mixture of emotions really. She remembered going with Ichigo to get Turasho back but they failed, Turahso stayed with his people and Ana returned here. "Ah there it is" she said pulling the book off the shelf and handed it to Orihime.

Orihime could instantly feel a little tension the moment she asked Ana the question she hadnt planned to upset or un nerve Ana she simply wanted another perspective and Turasho had been good friends with Ichigo at one point and they had both taken different paths but both had people to protect. She remember Turasho he was brave and kind and perfect for Ana. She hadnt really answered her so she dismissed the subject and nodded to the great suggestion she so loved a good book perfect to get lost in.
''Sounds great to me'' she said she had never read Wheel Of Time but it sounded like her kind of book ''Great! i'll take them'' she said but should she take all 13 just in case she read through them too quick.
She suddenly let her smile drop as Ana began to speak of how much of a fool she made of herself when it came to Turasho, fools in love she guessed her too. She opened her mouth about to say something but she stopped herself and listened to her. She had given him a compliment on his smile she nodded with agreement maybe she should use that line on Ichigo maybe not because he didnt smile alot, but when he did she found him even more attractive. ''Oh Ana-chan...thats so nice of you...'' she said. ''I think thats lovely'' she said. It was so admirable that she had just said something to Turasho only to cover it with a kiss, she was brave, admirable even.
She looked down knowing how it had all ended for Ana, sometime love wasnt fair you spent so long trying to find someone just right for you go through figuring out your feelings and then get courage to tell them only for things to not work out. But she felt like she could talk to Ana you had to go through some not so goood times to know when the good times are coming around. ''Ana-chan...you might find someone new?'' she said. . She then looked at the cover of the book it looked good from the cover she opened it just scannning through the first page briefly.

Ana simply handed Orihime the first book, if she liked it Ana had the others ones at home, but if Orihime wanted all 13 then who was she to say no to. It was nice to see someone else also enjoyed reading books. If she'd known Orihime liked reading so much they could have started a book club back in school, oh well. Maybe they could start one up after this whole Quincy thing died down, set up places to meet for drinks and discussions, get knew people involved, would be a great way to meet other people really.
Ana was not sure sure it had been lovely exactly, she would have done it differently if she had the chance to but she had been so young back then, now she was older, more mature, had more life experience behind her, she'd do it differently next time not be so upfront and just go in. Then again Ana was not one who expressed such feelings very well and hardly at all, she tended to keep everything inside rather than express it.
Glancing to Orihime Ana nodded her head and smiled slightly "I don't doubt that... I'm still young after all" she pointed out. However as much as Ana would like to find love again, to feel those emotions once more and have someone she could rely on but someone who could rely on her, she simply was unsure if it would ever happen again. There was like this awful gut feeling deep down she never would, that she was destined to be alone forever and it upset her a great deal. But she also knew if she never was to find someone else, she still had her friends and her family so that would make it all ok. She wasn't looking for love though, when one looked one did not find it, not with love at least it was an uncontrollable force that struck you hard and fast.
"Oh eager to start them I see" Ana said watching Orihime for a moment before laughing a little.

Ana's actions got her the man she wanted you didnt get someone by sitting around and waiting for it to fall on your lap it was all making Orihime more confident at first she thought it would be disgusting for her to tell Ichigo he'd think she was so wrong and be creeped out by her the last thing she wanted was him to think she was needy but at the same time not doing anything about it was just as bad. ''Thank you Ana, im really ready to tell Ichigo'' she said she almost, almost felt like marching up to his door and telling him with a firm and strict voice now that would surprise him!
''Ana you went for what you wanted that is good, better than i ever could managed'' she began but she knew the more experience you got it helped you later in life to choose the right person Ana was so kind and easy to get on with she was bound to find someone new ''Do you have your eye on anyone right now?'' she said wondering. Ana had helped her with Ichigo she would help her friend in anyway too.
''Maybe Turasho will come back for you?'' she said had he said anything to her to suggest he might it was difficult to stay together when you came from two totally different worlds it was hard anyway but there were even more obstacles in the way. She however had no doubt Ana would find someone it would just happen and it was good not to focus on it but just let it run its course. ''We should go speed dating or to a local group or club there's loads of guys there'' she said it didnt mean love instantly but meeting different people opened up a whole new perspective.
