She was glad to know she was able to help her friend out as much as she could, she would be there for her friends along their journeys as much as she could be and as much as they wanted her to be, she'd help them, offer support, advice, a smile and shoulder to cry on when they needed it. If Orihime felt like a fool or was nervous or need assistance or was upset she just had to come to Ana and Ana would do all she could in her power to help her friend feel better about herself and smile again. It's who she was.
Sometimes going after what you wanted was not always the smartest thing, Ana knew that, she'd discovered that before and so she hesitated at times. She was glad she was able to help Orihime out and nodded her head a little. One day Orihime would have lots of courage, she wouldn't hesitate, she wouldn't hold back and she'd just go for it and when that happened Ana would be cheering her friend on all the way. "Ah one day you will, you just wait and see I know it" she added.
Though did Ana have her eye on anyone at the moment? She had to think for a second, did she? If she did she would never do anything about it, she'd always thought Rukias' Captain and brother were pretty attractive but she knew nothing would ever come of that so she never acted on it or allowed herself to feel anything other than a slight attraction and respect for them not to mention they were very important people to Rukia. No Ana did not think she had her eye on anyone and if she did she didn't know it, maybe she did and was unaware of it, then again maybe she didn't, she didn't think she did. She simply shook her head a little.
Though when Orihime mentioned how maybe Turasho would come back for her Ana couldn't help but frown and probably more harshly than she intended simply said "No" as she turned her attention to a book on the shelf. She'd done that before, the romance there, she had moved on and she would like to think Turasho had too. There was likely unfinished business between them but Ana had no intention of returning to Turasho. "I'm sorry that was harsh of me" she finally said letting out a small sigh, it was not Orihime's fault. "He is with his people, that's where he belongs and I'm happy for him, he's found his place in the world, I wouldn't want that to change and I certainly wouldn't want to get in the way of that" she said because she knew, she did not belong in his world. In reality, their relationship had been doomed from the start.
"Wait. Have you been to a club before Orihime? And you didn't invite me! Oh... I can't believe you went to a club and didn't invite me" she said wide eyed before looking down and smiled a little, ah she was just messing with her friend but she nodded her head "Sounds like a good plan to me. We should drag Tatsuki along, all dress up" why not go out and have a girls night out, it'd be a blast!

Orihime's wish was for everything to go smoothly, that her confession wouldn't effect Ichigo and it wouldn't baffle him could he really not see her fondness for him? everyone else had just figured it out by the way she was with him did he actually know but just kept it to himself or did he genuinely not have the slightest clue she would soon find out when she told him if he was completely shocked or looked like he knew that was coming. But whatever happened she would still have her friends so confessing didn't seem so bad when she new her friends would cheer her up if things didn't go to plan sure she would cry a bit but get over it if he didn't return her feelings but she would then focus on bettering herself but in no way would she refuse to talk to Ichigo again she just couldn't cut him out of her life because of something so silly.
She took in a big breath calming herself after having those thoughts it seemed Ana had gone through a similar thing with Turasho only she dared to take the chance and show her feelings. Her friend was very brave because liking someone did make you venerable it made you do things you never thought you would and it took courage to at on those feelings. She smiled at Ana's words it boosted her confidence and maybe she could say it out loud to Ichigo like a listen up this is the deal and whats going on what you going to do about it uh maybe not that bluntly but sure would shock him.
Orihime tilted her head to one side seeing Ana thinking about her question if she liked anyone right now, sure you could walk passed a guy who you didn't know and they were good looking but nothing would come of it but she meant anyone she knew who she may know of but hardly spoke to or someone she knew very well. Ana had seemed lost in thought did that mean she had thought of someone ''Were you thinking of someone just then?'' she asked.
At the mention of Turasho maybe coming back for her Ana seemed unconvinced that would happen by her frown she wondered if Ana ever thought of Turasho still if it played on her mind but she very abruptly stated 'no' before she focused on another book on the shelf. Orihime looked a little surprised before she looked down a little ''He might?'' she said herself unsure. ''He will never forget you Ana'' she smiled a little. She remembered them when they were together sure there was the fact Turasho was strictly kept to his Bounto friends and he wasn't without his own problems but he still came back to Ana she knew now he had to leave but he must of thought about her still. She nodded at Ana's words ''Of course...I understand'' she confirmed she didn't want to disturb his current situation.
She smiled when Ana asked if she herself had been to a speed dating club ''Oh no I haven't but some friends of mine have...'' she said. She had a look of entusiasum when she suggested they get Tatsuki on board ''Oh it'd be great!'' she said but picturing Tatsuki speed dating made her smile she'd probably end up punching a guy.

Ana blinked for a moment as she watched Orihime. Her silence must have given her train of thought away, dam it! For a brief moment Ana's hands clenched and her face went red "No!... wh-what gave you that idea" she said huffing and turned her face away for a moment before she took in a deep breath. Even if she had been thinking about someone she wasn't saying anything and she'd never act upon any possibility either, not at times like these. But Orihime had a point, did she actually like someone, did she have a crush on someone? Of course Ana admired guys, she had no problem spotting a cute looking boy and watching him walk by, getting distracted by the fit swimmers and sports players at times but was there someone she liked? She had no idea, if she did like someone she'd know right, so not knowing meant she didn't like anyone yea? Ah now she was confusing herself as she rubbed the side of her temple for a moment, headache coming on for thinking about such things too hard.
It had not been her intention to snap at Orihime about Turasho. Ana didn't think he would ever come back least of all for her, she kind of wished he would never come back for her that ship had sailed and she had to get on another ship. Part of her would always love Turasho he had been her first love and it was hard to forget, she did think about him at times but she tried her best not to. Hearing Orihime she glanced over, how she hoped her friend was right and that he had not forgotten her nor never would. To think someone you loved could forget about you that thought alone hurt, much more than Ana thought it would. Ana sighed a little "You're a hopeless romantic you know that Orihime" she pointed out, which was not such a bad thing, meant her friend had dreams and hope, she envied that.
Though Orihime smiled Ana watched her friend closely for a moment, how weird would it be knowing her friend had done speed dating and not have told her about it! Making a small face for a moment Ana nodded her head before smirking evilly "Ah that's my girl... I'll need your help to talk Tatsuki into coming. Oh maybe we can trick her. Girls night at mine maybe and then hit the town and speed dating scene. Sounds fun. Yea I like it." Ana nodded her head and smiled at Orihime "But well after we find out what happens with you and Ichigo hey." If Orihime was still single after she told Ichigo her feelings then speed dating might help her friend out, help her see the other options in the world out there.

Orihime's eyes narrowed seeing Ana's reddening face before she turned away ''Ana! you so do!'' she exclaimed with a smile it got her thinking who could it be she had once thought Ishida liked Rukia because he had sewn her a dress and presented it to her so she played detective and came up with Ishida making it for her out of love and even told herself how clever she was for figuring that out so now she was doing it for Ana. ''Oh oh is it Ishida!!'' she laughed. ''No no is it Keigo!!'' she chuckled she couldn't imagine Ana liking Keigo he was a little out there with his feelings for every girl that walked passed. ''What kind of guys do you like oh we can go hunting'' she said as she laid her hand across her eyes as she looked out as if looking for guys. ''Don't worry if us girls all go out we can have some fun'' she smiled.
She knew Ana wouldn't intentionally snap at her, she was probably shocked Orihime had brought up Turasho because it had been some time since he had left. She knew that a first love was special and it carried with you throughout you life it was why she wanted Ichigo to be her first love he was someone she needed in her life love interest or not. She was sure Turasho was probably out there somewhere among his people still having thoughts of how Ana was doing and he would probably always wish her well they had hopefully split on good terms so no hard feelings right. She let the corners of her mouth curl up a little she was a hopeless romantic she loved dreaming of having someone to share her day with and do something special for someone. Maybe she aimed for the perfect idealistic guy but Ichigo was far from perfect so it was strange how she picked him but she couldn't stop it.
She looked a little mischievously she did like to set Tatsuki up for speed dating she never really seemed bothered about ever impressing a guy she just thought they had to work to impress her which was a good way of thinking really she wouldn't settle for just anyone. ''Oh yeah, we can have a good night in then tell her were going to the movies or something and walk her another way for the real fun of speed dating'' she laughed. So it was set she'd defiantly ring Tatsuki and ask her to join in. She blinked though after Ana suggested they speed date after she knows what's going on between her and Ichigo how could she go into speed dating when she was so unsure of Ichigo not that she would ever try and make him jealous that made her smirk a little no it wasn't in her to do that. ''Yeah. you're right...I better get my skates on then'' she said.

It was tempting to snap back that she didn't but what was the use, even if she snapped back Orihime might argue the matter and then where would they be? Best to just frown and bite her own tongue. Orihime however started to guess who it might be which had Ana's eyes widen for a moment, wait what was she doing? Snapping her head to Orihime she noticed her friend laughing and sighed a little as she rubbed her head trying not to listen to what Orihime was saying until she mentioned Keigo, if she had been drinking she would have chocked... why would Orihime even throw him into it? Ah why was she mentioning names, eh Ishida and worse Keigo! Orihime must have lost her mind no way did Ana like him or either of them for that matter. Ana could have played along though and said it wasn't someone in their group of friends however she had nothing to say 'cause from what she knew she didn't like anyone.
"I'm not telling you my type... you will go hunting. If Rangiku was here she'd join you" ah yes she was thankful Rangiku was not here or Ana for sure would be dragged around while those two pointed out guys and snooped around and poked her for information when she had none in the first place. Watching Orihime for a moment Ana tilted her head and sighed quietly to herself. "I worry about you sometimes Orihime" she shook her head for a moment.
Yes them all going out sounded like lots of fun indeed, she couldn't remember the last time they had all gotten together and gone out just the three girls. Though she did like Orihime's way of thinking and smiled back nodding her head "Yea! Oh so devious Orihime, I like it" she added giving her friend a thumbs up. Tatsuki would never agree if she knew what they really planned so they would manipulate her and surprise her because she was sure Tatsuki would hate it but everyone had to do stuff they didn't like and hey there might be a guy Tatsuki might like there... or maybe a girl. "Oh does Tatsuki like guys?" Ana asked quietly, she was unsure as she had never seen Tatsuki take a fancy to anyone. Then again maybe Tatsuki was one of those people who didn't do romance at all, what was that called again?
"Ah don't rush into them, you never know. Ichigo might say he likes you too or he might say he doesn't or to give him some time to think about it or maybe that he doesn't feel that way yet but that's not to say he wont in the future. Who knows with him. You might get lucky" Ana had no idea at all but in the event Ichigo didn't like Orihime hopefully he would handle to situation carefully and delicately he would be dealing with another persons feelings and heart. If he didn't though and he broke Orihime and made her cry it was just another excuse for Ana to go smack him across the back of the head.

Orihime was just letting her imagination run wild, she just like to guess and imagine herself who Ana could like but it appeared she had no name or idea. So whenever someone caught Ana's eye she would help her if she wanted that was because she had aided her in the big mess that was her own feelings. She had thrown in Ishida and Keigo for good measures and neither got her but she didn't blame her Keigo was her joke suggestion because he liked any girl. ''Oh well worth a try'' she smiled playfully.
''Aww...but'' she began when Ana refused to spill her type of guy because she'd go find someone who matched that, well if she went with how Turasho was she'd say tall and dark haired but that was quite broad to pick out guys like that. She nodded at the idea of getting Rangiku on board she was good friends with her and she knew how to throw a party and had good taste in food too well the same as Orihime's tastes in food. She laughed a little hearing Ana worried for her ''I know...I meddle too much'' she smiled. ''But guys or no guys lets just have a fun night out'' she nodded at her words.
She smiled gentle as Ana spoke of her being devious her never! ''Oh I have my ways'' she said waving a finger before sitting back in her chair. ''Besides Tatsuki would never come otherwise...'' she sighed. Orihime then looked up in thought did Tatsuki like girls? she wasn't sure but she never really spoke of guys or ever get flustered by a guy maybe she didn't like them. ''Well that could be true ive never really asked her...do you think we should?'' she asked. But maybe it wasn't something Tatsuki liked to discuss but it did get Orihime thinking.
''Yeah, you're right...'' Orihime began, if she went ahead to the speed dating she would be wasting her time sure she could meet loads of other guys and they probably would be really nice people. But she really didn't want to not tell Ichigo the feelings she already had and further complicate things. She had to see how Ichigo felt before she decided on meeting others she did hope Ichigo would be more sensitive with her heart despite him not ever being sensitive she was taking a risk.
''So have you trained for the war at all?'' she asked in wonder, she was going to brush up herself and push her ability to its height seeing as this war was going to challenge beyond anything they'd faced before.

There was no way Ana was telling Orihime her type at all, she didn't need people sticking their nose into any form of romance for her. Of course, Ana would like to feel that way again but well other people trying to get you involved with someone tended to be a pain really even if it was in good intention. So no Ana was not telling Orihime anything about the type of guys Ana liked. "You're just curious" Ana said with a small shrug of her shoulders, there was no harm done really and her friend had not meddled really, simply inquired.
Nodding her head she agreed a fun night out would be for the best, it'd be a great way to catch up and meet people too and just have some fun and escape the craziness that had become their lives especially as of recently. Though could they afford such a night out with everything going on around them, maybe it would have to wait until after the war.
Sitting back in her own seat Ana pondered for a moment in her own thought as Orihime went on about Tatsuki's likes. Ana only assumed the woman liked guys but maybe she liked men or neither, well either way they would find out. Ana thought it'd be kind of cool if Tatsuki did like girls it would make the girl even more unique than she already was. But in the end whatever made Tatsuki happy was ok with Ana, so long as her friend didn't get hurt. She wouldn't get hurt right being dragged to a place like they were planning to drag her too? No she was sure there was no harm in it.
"Huh?" Ana said blinking as she looked over to Orihime... oh crap Orihime had just asked her a question and she had not been paying attention. Was it a yes answer or a no answer? "Ah sorry Orihime... I drifted for a moment there" she rubbed the back of her neck laughing a little before folding her arms on the table. Only to tell Orihime not to rush into those skates just yet.
"Yea" Ana said nodding her head before looking up to Orihime "I teach martial arts and then have my own lessons to attend, so when I am not there I am with Urahara training nearly everyday. As I don't know what I need to know exactly for this enemy it's hard to train with so little information". Though Urahara was helping Ana more with her abilities than her martial arts. Attacking her while she tried to make portals and helping her become stronger. It was brutal training but she had to learn to do it, she needed to become better, stronger, faster. If she could get enough control of her power for the battle she could create a portal to deviate her enemies attacks and use it to go through herself to appear somewhere else either escaping her enemy, aiding a friend or sneaking up on her enemy with little effort. She wasn't that good yet but she intended to become that good because at the moment it still drained her a fair bit but she had improved a little, not enough though and that annoyed her.

Orihime was just generally curious she liked to ask her female friends who they liked and it seemed she wasn't getting any out of Ana. She pouted little before smiling and nodding ''I am! but there's a line and cross it and it becomes nosey'' she stated with a wag of her finger, she liked to get that balance. She did feel like having the burden of carrying with you feelings for someone made you do silly things she wanted to get others perspective and see if she could relate to them she found comfort in discovering she wasn't strange or weird just like everybody else.
She had hoped all the girls could get together and leave all their troubles behind, she knew Rangiku would be up for that she always told her to invite her to things because she didn't want to be left out. She had to ask Tatsuki to come with them but Ana had made her question just who she was attracted to she had never really told her and she had never let the thought really cross her mind she was just Tatsuki one of her best friends. What ever Tatsuki choose to do in her life Orihime wouldn't care she would back her just how she helped her in dark times when she was bullied.
She tilted her head with a smile ''Oh I was just saying weather or not we should ask Tatsuki about who she likes but then again would it make her uncomfortable...'' she said looked down in thought. ''Maybe not'' she said because she could see Tatsuki thinking they were meddling. ''Ok I wont rush it, i'll choose my right moment'' she said. She had actually spoken to Ichigo a couple of days ago it had been a while since she saw him she didn't like to bother him knowing his schedule was full with shinigami things. ''I did think about telling him two days ago in the park, I got him on his own but...uhh...well it didn't feel right you know'' she said.
She had no idea Ana taught martial arts it certainly required skills and the knowhow ''Oh so you teach little kids or adults?'' she asked she would so love to teach little children she liked making them laugh hearing their little giggles. She nodded though and looked more serious when Ana said she didn't know all too much about the Quincy's either. ''We don't know anything really...I don't know what we are going to walk into when we get to Soul Society'' she said regrettably.

Ana shrugged her shoulders a little, she didn't mind Orihime prying but she just didn't want her trying to hook her up with someone, she could ask questions and make suggestions and opinions just so long as she didn't try anything more than that and well even if she did Ana couldn't stay mad at her, Orihime was one of her closest friends.
It would though be fun to get out with the girls, drag some from soul society also, make things interesting for sure. Though indeed they had to go somewhere where they could all have fun and if Tatsuki was not into guys and couldn't enjoy a club then Ana was sure there was something out there for Tatsuki. But Ana had no idea what her friend was into but she would find out and she'd get Orihime to help her. Smirking a little Ana nodded her head "We can trick her..." Ana said, like a test really put her into a situation and see how she reacts, they could do several tests until they got what they were looking for from her and then they would know without Tatsuki becoming uncomfortable from her friends asking her something so upfront.
When Orihime said how she had thought about telling Ichigo once before Ana blinked a few times, oh so she had come close but backed out. Smiling a little she nodded her head "See you knew that was not the right time which means you shall know when it is" she added giving her friend the thumbs up. She was sure Orihime would tell Ichigo one day, hopefully the books could help her out a little and she'd make sure to keep her away from Rangiku's advice too, that woman suggested some very strange things sometimes.
Adults of kids? Ana smiled a little and nodded her head "I teach first grade martial arts though I also help with the adult classes" Ana said, she had been doing martial arts since she was a kid, she did it every day it was her life, she needed to do it to protect her family and to honor the family tradition her father had once taught her, it was the least she could do for him.
Ana nodded her head though and chewed her bottom lip for a moment, they didn't know anything about the Quincy for sure, not these new ones which was a huge problem. Ana frowned "I intend to get us some information" Ana added nodding her head once more before looking to Orihime and smiled "So don't you worry. You just focus on getting strong for what you have to do ok, leave the rest to me" she added.
