Gathering of sorts (Orihime/Itsuki)

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana shrugged her shoulders a little "I'm not 100% sure" she said "But I want to test the theory... so am I'm very good at making people angry especially Ichigo... so if I can get Itsuki mad enough maybe Mr.Hollow will come out, in which case you run" she said "Probably to Isshin Kurosaki, he'll know what to do I am sure of it" she said nodding her head and smiled a little. If Itsuki had a Hollow inside him she wasn't going to let that stop her at all.

She laughed a little "We can think of a better plan than run for out lives a little later... though I don't exactly want to get into a fight, which might be hard, bad things happen around me all the time" She smiled a bit at Orihime's words, she had every right to ask Itsuki questions and to get answers from him also, it was only fair she got them and he was not a jerk about it, maybe that was too much to ask for though.

She then went a bit quiet, she told Orihime what might be happening and made it very clear she didn't do it at all, she was trying to help Ichigo not destroy him like Itsuki was. She let out a deep breath when Orihime said she'd never do something like that, hopefully Ichigo would believe her too. "Thanks Orihime, it's nice to know you believe me" she said smiling to her, hopefully the others would too.


occ ;; sorry this is bad but even though it's midnight i wanted to get a reply up for you as you've been waiting for one awhile now.

[Inoue Orihime]

OOC: aw thanks very much! ^_^)

Orihime looked on at Ana and nodded her head slowly as Ana told her she could anger Ichigo enough so she could do the same for Itsuki to aggrovate the hollow. ''Your gonna annoy his hollow...oh man...'' she said then looked to the side of her. ''This is bad...so so bad...and so dangerous...'' she said as much as it was dangerous to purposely annoy a hollow it could prove to be to their advantage, by making him lose his mind perhaps?

Orihime had her own words to say to Itsuki, one, because this was the guy who was desperate to screw over the man she loved and secondly he was causing so much trouble for her friends, in fact he was just causing trouble full stop! she didnt trust him and she didnt think Ana did either but she had got her hairpin back which was a little promising but still not great. She couldnt help but feel a little sorry for Itsuki at times, he had nothing so it seemed only regret inside his heart from the violence and sorrow his hollow had caused, but she felt sypmpathetic towards him because it was easy to see how Ichigo could be at Itsuki's stage soon, was it Itsuki's hollow making him evil or was it really him doing all of this?

She smiled with a confiming nod as Ana said it was nice to hear someone beleived her, she beleived it would give that person a feeling like they had someone they could trust just like when she didnt beleive Ichigo could side with Itsuki. Orihime frowned a little afterwards, while she beleived her, she could just see Ichigo not taking it so well, feeling like he had no where left to turn to. ''I will speak to Kurosaki-Kun if he flips out...'' she said, she had been told once by Isshin that she had a calming effect on Ichigo so maybe she could calm him down if he did get mad.

Orihime then looked at her wall clock seeing the time. ''Alright then'' she said as she took the last gulp of her drink and then stood up. ''Lets go, Ana'' she said.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana couldn’t help but laugh at Orihime’s words and expression “Don’t worry Orihime. I won’t put you in harm’s way. I’ll come up with a plan” she added and smiled, she wasn’t going to put Orihime in harm’s way and would protect her best she could but she was hoping Itsuki would just allow them to talk tonight, hear him out and send Orihime home, push a few of his buttons, find his triggers and leave safely… hopefully, she was still planning it out.

It was nice to hear though that Orihime did believe her and that Ichigo was sure to to, he better or she’d slap him over the back of the head. “Oh don’t worry about him Orihime, good slap across the back of the head and he’ll fall in line… or slap me back” she said frowning a little at the thought before she shrugged a little and smiled. Of course the idea of running for their lives seemed like a good start of a plan.

She nodded and got up. “Yes I have a feeling if we’re late Itsuki will never shut up at all” she added sighing as she rolled her eyes and placed her cup down “Shall I clean up?” she asked wondering if Orihime wanted some help, she had served it, Ana was fine with cleaning it up, unless they were simply leaving now. Not long after they were on their way to the river.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime looked on at Ana wide eyed as she laughed a little, she had panicked before anything had happened, she looked down a little shyly. ''Heh heh...s-sorry'' she said. She couldnt help but feel they would be meddling in the unknown world of Vizards. But if it made Itsuki weaker or off guard it could prove to be the difference of them escaping or not. She trusted and knew Ana would come up with something, she always did.

Orihime them blinked a few times hearing how Ana would give Ichigo a slap to the head if he didnt beleive her, she smiled a little but then it faded. ''That's if he doesnt run again...'' she began, lately he had become prone to hiding away. It was a little frightening to think that Ichigo, the guy she thought could do anything, protect anyone, could fall as easily as she could at the sight of trouble. Something wasnt right with him, she just had a feeling there was something else he was hiding something important that was making him so down, and make him fall out of line like this. ''Youre right...he needs...'' she began but then paused ''He needs Rukia...he needs her to beat the life back into him and bring back the fire in his eyes...'' she said, she knew he and Rukia werent talking and it showed just how much Ichigo needed her really. Orihime sighed ''Everything's out of hand isnt it...we have to put everything right again'' she said and then nodded when Ana agreed to head off to meet Itsuki.

''Ok, we have a moment to clear up...then we go'' she said to Ana as she took the cups and walked into her kitchen before they had set off to the Riverbank, she didnt know if Itsuki would be late or if he'd be very keen and already there but she kept her wits about her and focused on trying to pick up his spirit energy if she could.

[Asano Keigo]

Itsuki was on his way to the River that he had arranged to meet Ana and Orihime at. He had been pestering Ana constantly for this meeting and had already negociated with Ana and returned Orihime's hairpin, ok and he may of threatened Ana with Ichigo's wellbeing too but he had to do what he had to do to get what he wanted.

''Pretty cold night if you ask me'' Itsuki said as he rubbed his gloved hands together as he walked along with Nadie walking alongside him both wearing black cloaks both wearing hoods over their heads. Their feet making light footsteps as they walked along echoed a little from the silence of the sleeping town. ''You got everything ready then...yes'' Itsuki said to Nadie who just sighed ''Yes....Itsuki-Sama'' she replied as she pulled her hood over her face further just allowing her eyes to be covered yet she looked down watching her feet.

They stopped at the riverside and Itsuki walked down the small hill that lead down to the river that flowed at a steady pace. He smirked as he looked at his reflection in the water while Nadie stayed up top and looked around. She crouched down and placed her fingers on the ground before a small glow broke out from the ground that her fingers touched before she nodded. ''There on their way Itsuki-Sama'' she said plainly and he grinned ''Excellent'' he said and looked ahead of him at the other side of the river. He turned and walekd back up the hill and up to where Nadie was. ''Its a shame Mikaru isnt here with us...because you let that boy's father take him!'' he said to her but then sighed. ''Well guess its show time'' he said as he reached into his cloak.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana smiled to Orihime “You’re a funny one Orihime, it’s why I like you so much… don’t tell Ichigo though, don’t want him to think I’ve got favourite friends or anything” she said whispering a little and winked at her friend before she went quite a bit, she hoped Ichigo would not think of her as a traitor it would hurt her feelings and knowing her she’d pretend to act all tough and taken her sorrow and anger out on Hollows, was not so bad.

“Ichigo has high spirit energy, he can’t hide for too long” Ana said under her breath, guess it’s why it sucked to be Ichigo. Ana smiled a little, she was sure Ichigo would forgive Rukia in his own time, things always worked out in the end for the good guys, and they were good guys not bad guys so she knew it would work out.

In no time they’d packed up and headed off, the trip was quieter than Ana would have liked but she made sure to make some conversation. She didn’t want Orihime to feel like she had to stay at this hearing or do anything she didn’t want to, but she wouldn’t leave without her friend. She felt bad for getting her well both of them into this situation but if it meant Orihime got her hairpin back then that was good enough for her.

Ana looked around the river bank and frowned, where was he? But she could sense him, that horrid aura he had about him and what’s her face was with him again, her name started with an N right. Yea she was sure of it. Folding her arms she huffed “Ok Itsuki we are not here to play games so come on out, I’m tired and want to go to bed so make this quick will ya already!” she snapped and looked to Orihime “I know he’s around here somewhere… and remember, you can leave whenever you want” she said smiling to Orihime before she swayed on the spot a little and looked over her shoulder.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime smiled widely hearing how she was Ana's fav although she was not to tell Ichigo. ''Oh yeah maybe he'd get jealous!'' she laughed a little, although Ichigo wasnt a very jealous person she never saw him get like that at all. ''Maybe he'll be alright with it...'' she said as they walked to the Riverbank. She nodded at her comment saying Ichigo couldnt hide with the energy he had, she looked a little sadened by it, he wanted to escape all the madness and get away from it all for a moment and yet anyone could turn up and bug him. ''Even if he is easy to track down...i still think we should respect his decision to leave for a while and give him a little space i dont think he's ever taken a break'' she sighed.

On the way to the Riverbank they had made small talk before arriving and waiting for Itsuki to turn up, but she clsoed her eyes feeling Itsuki's reaitsu along with Nadie's. She then opened her eyes and frowned ''He such a sad being isnt he'' she said and then looked up spotting Itsuki, she made a face seeing him again after he had attacked that night some time ago ever since then she had felt weird and even had Kurosaki Isshin check her over. Orihime then nodded at what Ana said and then looked to the two of them waiting to see what he had to say. ''What do you want us to do?'' she spoke up.

[Asano Keigo]

Itsuki grinned to himself ''Here they come now'' he said and Nadie turned her head as the two of them began to walk forwards they stoppedin front of them Nadie opposite Orihime and Itsuki opposite Ana. Itsuki and Nadie then removed their hoods. ''Glad you came Inoue...Ana'' he said giving a nod of his head as he addressed each of them. ''Now now Ana, lets not rush this'' he said hearing her speak before he smirked a bit. ''Well then...cards on the table i am unarmed and will not attack you or Inoue tonight...this will only be an meeting of exchanging words'' he said. He then looked to Orihime as she asked what he wanted. ''I thought you'd never ask'' he said before clearing his throat.

''I am extremely interested in your powers both of you...they are similar yet unique to each of you and reflects your personalities...Inoue your six herbiscus flowers is a power that goes agasint god's will...it goes against the Spirit King himself and i need that power to revive my brother...he has a power that can put an end to the Spirit King's ruling...'' he said. ''But thats not all...i only require your power to bring back my brother from the dead...i doubt you will help me conquer the Spirit King so i will not ask you of that...unless you are willing to do so...but i dont think so'' he said then looked to Ana.

''Ana, i require your power too...as you know there is going to be alot of spirit energy flying around here when Inoue performs the ressurection of my brother...it will attract the Soul Society's attention because they have tabs on this town and any unusual spiritual pressure alerts them and thus they will send shinigami to investigate...if that happens then you really will look like traitors to Ichigo'' he said to them. ''But also there is another threat...there are numerous hollows that lurk this town...a rise in energy will mean a tastier soul so they will come here and i need you Ana to sheild us from them and block out any remaining energy that escapes'' he said. ''Am i making sense so far?'' he said.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana laughed a little, she didn’t see Ichigo as being the jealous type but thought it would be a funny sight to see none the less. Though she hoped Orihime had not miss-heard her, Ana didn’t like to play favourites with people but Orihime was one of her favourite friends, one of her closest friends.

However Ana did not see Ichigo’s decision the same way Orihime did, from Ana’s point he was running from it all, hiding away instead of facing it like a man and seeking the support that was around him, hopefully she could find him and let him know it was ok and it would be ok. She was good at that kind of thing.

Her eyes looked to Orihime when she made a comment about Itsuki and blinked a little, she was a little worried, would Orihime ever see the bad in people one day? She always made a reason up to make the bad guy seem like an innocent victim. It did worry her. And speaking of the devil there he soon was and Ana raised an eyebrow, the sooner this was over the better. But they’d hear him out, she’d given him that much. Ana though nodded her head, he better not attack them, she actually didn’t want this to go all… grr… but she was hoping to see how much of what he had said before was true.

Yet there he was talking about the Spirit King and God. Ana though wondered why he wanted to bring his brother back when he was unlikely to help him in the first place, was it to make all eyes turn to his brother and off him? Questioned buzzed in her mind as she glanced to Orihime, she hoped she’d say no.

“If… Orihime resurrects him” she added not wanting him to think she would help him. The choice was Orihime’s but Ana did not like this plan at all. Ana folded her arms behind her back hoping he was getting to a point soon. Ana did not know if her shield worked that way but maybe it did, she did not know, she only knew how to work her powers and where they came from, there was no one to guide her really on how to use them and what they could really do. She frowned a little but nodded her head, he was making sense which was not a good thing.

“Why do you want us to help you bring your brother back when he may not trust you in the first place?” she asked as that was bugging her.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime looked at Itsuki and fear hit her first, that face she could not forget the night she was attacked by him when he cut her and injured her and Ichigo took her to the clinic she remebered what Isshin had said how he had purposely added something into her something that Isshin was still looking into. Orihime then heard Itsuki out how his plans were to ruin the Spirit King, she had heard that term a few times but didnt know who he was exsactly but by the sounds of it he was a very important man that Soul Society hardly ever mentioned.

She suddenly looked down and away from Itsuki when he spoke of her power going agasint god's will, she had been told that before by the Espada's when Aizen took her. She barely knew much about her power and if it was a strong power or not she never pushed herself to the point where she needed to test if her flowers were strong enough. She knew she could revive the dead to a certain level, she had done so when an arrancar was killed and oblierated into nothing, she brought her back from thin air but only because she felt the need to this arrancar beat her until she was bruised yet she still thought she deserved to live maybe to learn from her mistakes, she didnt know why she did it herself.

''You want me to go behind Ichigo's back and be dishonest to him...i could never hurt him in that way...'' she began after a small pause. ''Im not even certain i could bring him back...it would only work if i felt strongly about doing so'' she said. ''Any sympathy i have to want to help you is nothing compared to the friendship and trust i have in Ichigo'' she ended as she looked in Itsuki's eyes directly.
