Emergency (Orihime/Isshin)

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime looked at the bed and nodded to Isshin she proped herself up on it and sat there her legs dangling off rom the edge unable to touch the ground. She looked at Isshin and then see him walk off. She took the chance to look around the room seeing lots of medical equipment though before she knew it he was back with her and with gloves on at the ready was going to examine her wound. She removed the bandage and made sure her top wasnt covering her stomach and allowed him to see to it. ''Is it really deep?'' she asked and then see him draw back in thought. ''Uh...Mr Kurosaki-San...your face doesnt seem confident...is it bad?'' she said nervously. He then asked for a blood test to which she agred. ''Ok..but can i ask why?'' she said and looked to her arm that would probably be used for the blood sampling.

[Kurosaki Isshin]

(OOC: Okay so Shinji pm'ed me what Itsuki's power is i know what it is but you gyus dont hehe! lol so i can post what is going on with Orihime)

Isshin blinked a couple of times looking at Orihime ''Dont worry now...'' he said and then sat back in a chair and scribbled some stuff in a folder before turing round and looking at her again. ''So here's the 9details...the wound isnt too deep and it will heal just fine as long as it kept clean and banadaged so i will ask you to apply this to the wound everday'' he said holding a bottle of solution. ''Just apply it to your bandage everytime you change it'' he said and then made sure he put some on a new bandage and then placed it over her wound. ''Alright then that should heal nicely...'' he said and then looked to Ichigo. ''I'll need you to change her bandage later on ok because it will soak up that blood quickly at first'' he told him and then looked back to Orihime. ''Oh the blood test...i want to confirm there isnt any foreign bodies inside your bloodstream or something that shouldnt be there....because truthfully your wounds isnt deep enough for the amout of bleeding there is'' he said.

Isshin then reached for a packet containing a seringe he opened it up from its sterile packaging and then went over to Orihime. ''Alright then lets have your arm then please'' he smiled before he took her arm and gave her forarm a flick before he inserted the needle and drew out the blood he needed. He took it away and would et a proper look under microscopic technology that helped great with that sort of thing. ''Ok im leaving you in the care of Ichigo just call me if you need me i'll be busy with your sample'' he said and disappeared removing his gloves into a bin and then walking off.

Half and hour passed before Isshin returned an he came in looking a little confused, he looked to Orihime and then sat down. ''I have some results for you...'' he began. ''So you remeber me saying how the amount of bleeding didnt equvilate the wound...well there is something in your blood acting suspiciously almost as if something is feeding from your blood like a parasite'' he told her and waited before he went on seeing if she was taking it all in.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

(OOC: You know!! i'll drag it out of you lol!)

Ichigo was releived to hear her wound wasnt too bad and Isshin had very quickly taken a blood sample from Orihime, he did wonder why it was neccessary he grew suspicious wondering if he knew more than he did and was hiding a few things from him.

Ichigo sighed and then heard Isshin left everything to him afterwards ''Idiot'' he thought as if he could be responsible for everything here, but he knew he was probably going to help Ana. ''I'll watch over Inoue uf thats what you mean'' he frowned before he looked at her. ''Hey, Inoue i was meaning to ask you...'' he began. knowing it was more of a better time to question her than before. ''....You said that guy had two spirit pressures right?...are you sure thats what you sensed?'' he said hoping she would shed some light on that.

Not longer after Isshin returned with Orihime's result and it got worse alot worse by the sounds of it Orhime had some kind of parasite in her bloodstream. ''What!! thats crazy how can she...that damn bastard i'll friggin kill him!'' he said his fists clentching. Dammit he so wished he had the power to back up his anger he felt so helpless just letting this guy getting away with it and he was with Ana now. ''Dad! you better get to Ana quickly...she's still out there with the guy who done this!'' he told him. He knew Orihime's wellbeing needed more investigation but right now Ana could end up in the same condition and it could be prevented.

[Inoue Orihime]

(OOC: hehe! even i dont know! me and Ichigo will have to bribe you!)

Orihime gave a small flinch at the start of her blood test she wasnt really used to them but she knew whatever happend to her could be serious so she co operated. She nodded to Isshin and thanked him before she realised he had left Ichigo alone with her. She smiled at him and then frowned seeing his concern. ''I'll be fine i promise!! i dont get sick im always at good heath remeber!'' she said remebering when she told him she never caught colds or illnesses when she was small.

She then heard Ichigo state if he could ask her something, she blinked and then nodded ''Of course'' she said and then listened. She gave a strong nod ''Im definalty sure i sensed two spiritual pressures it felt like one was his and one wasnt and yet...it was still a part of him somehow..i dont really understand it myself'' she sighed. But a thought popped into her head. ''Kurosaki-Kun...you...you should of sensed it too what did you think of it?'' she said it raised more suspicions from her as if he was talking that he couldnt sense anything. ''...You could sense it too right?'' she asked but she suddenly heard Isshin with the results.

''Ah thank you Mr Kurosaki-San...im sorry if i caused you any trouble...im sure your really busy without me interupting'' she said and then listened to what he thought, a parasite? inside her? gross!
Orihime made a face that instantly showed her disgust with the thought of it ''No way'' she said off in a haze thinking about it. She looked to Ichigo seeing his rage at what the guy had done to her. She smiled faintly though she hid it well and knew something was definalty up with Ichigo, he wasnt sensing spirit energy, and now he was shying away from the frontlines of battle if this were the Ichigo she knew and loved he'd be marching right down to Itsuki and make him wish he never lived. He seemed to have a lot to hide was this the reason he had been missing for days? things were piecing together and not in a good way. She had her thinking face on trying to put all the pieces together and work it out but she looked to Isshin seeing if he was going to aid Ana.

[Kurosaki Isshin]

(OCC: oh no it wont work on me haha!!)

Isshin looked at Orihime's expression seeing she seemed disgusted at the news. ''So we know one thing...the guy you were attacked by has an ability to put a parasite in to his enemies wounds...and further testing we can see what it possible damage it could cause you...but at the moment tome it just seems to be a way of your attacker havng tabs on you like a traker...why he'd want to track you i dont know'' he sighed.

He looked to Ichigo ''You'll be fine...of course you know what needs to be done you have to know because you live above a clinic some medical knowledge you just pick up...so Orihime might need a drip put in place soon but not yet...'' he said and then looked back at Orihime. ''Ok Inoue you should rest and dont do anything that will cause your heart rate to increase try not to spread the parasite in your bloodstream that quick'' he said and then changed into his shinigami robes captain's hayori on and zanpakuto tucked in the side of his robes. He looked to Ichigo with a smirk knowing this was the second time he had seen him in his shinigami status and it would take some getting used to but Isshin couldnt wait for the day when he and his son would go out and tackle hollows together like a indestructable tag team. Isshin smiled at the thought and then walked off. ''Take good care of her Ichigo'' he said as he flash stepped out of the clinic.

Just as Isshin disappeared some footstops were heard from above the clinic, they travelled down the stairs until it was right outside Orihime's room. Then a head popped out from round the corner cautiously. It was one of Ichigo's younger sisters. Karin seemed taller she was a couple of years older now the same as Ichigo and the rest of his friend had grown although she was still well behind on the years she had to catch up to Ichigo's 17.

Karin stepped out from behind the door and stood in front of Ichigo ans Orihime, she had her school uniform on seeing as both her and Yuzu had started in a new middle school and had started the year well getting good grades. Karin had changed in appearance she had longer hair tied back and not only that she had increasingly had the ability to see spirits just like Ichigo had when he was younger now she saw it as a pain that anything.

Karin looked at her brother with a glare she seemed angry with him she didnt say anything but took in that he was here and she suddenly looked to the floor in sadness. ''Ichi....why didnt you say goodbye to us...'' she spoke quietly before looking at him. ''You left us without saying goodbye!!'' she said louder.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked at Orihime seeing how she would take the news and she didnt seem to like it, who would! ''Inoue'' he sighed if it were him he'd be angry at this guy who did it he'd swear to make him pay but he knew she probably didnt want to cause a fuss. He was amazed by her being able to easily brush off any anger that this should of caused her but he was just concerned that this guy could do more thank just track his victims.

Ichigo did however looked confused when she was sure she sensed Itxuki had two seperate energy's what did worry him was that she felt one was his and the other wasnt as though it didnt belong to him, as if he had stolen someone reiatsu. Ichigo sighed putting his head in his hands in frustration hurting his brain trying to figure all this out. ''I wish i could sense it for myself...'' he said though he probably should of thought it. ''Uh me?...'' he suddenly said looking at Orihime as she asked what he thought of the guy's reiatsu. Ichigo looked away staying silent not answering the question but he couldnt hide anythng more, things were all secretive enough. ''...I didnt sense anything from him'' he said to her. ''Inoue i've...i lost my shinigami powers...'' he said sounding a little disappointed saying it. ''I gave them up in the hope of gaining a new type of power...but i was probably wrong to give them up'' he added. He wished he had never sacrificed the one thing he had to help him protect others, in reality he had to do it. Ichigo looked at Orihime and knew she'd probably be making her worried face at him. He smiled at her a little ''Dont worry Inoue...i'll get them back'' he reassured her before seeing Isshin.

Ichigo sighed at him as he was about to leave and he changed into his shinigami robes. Ichigo watched him in surprise and this was the second time he had seen him like this, it was weird seeing your own father doing the same job and not just any job but a shinigami's one. ''What!? stop looking like that and get out of here!'' Ichigo complained seeing Isshin smiling at him. Ichigo scowled, why was he smiling?

Ichigo see him use a flash step to get out of the clinic he shook his head a little it was still going to take a while to get used to even if Ichigo had already said he had accept it. Ichigo looked to Orihime ''You still alright yeah...so he left me in charge...which was a stupid idea but if you need anything you can ask me ok'' he said to her and then heard footsteps. Ichigo paused and looked over his shoulder seeing one of his sisters standing there. ''Karin?'' Ichigo questionned seeing she wasnt saying anything just glaring at him. Ichigo raised an eyebrow as if expecting her to say something.

Ichigo then heard her say how he left without saying godbye. Ichigo's expression turned a little guilty. He hadnt seen them in a while and he knew he should of said something to them before leaving but he didnt have any excuse as to why he had to leave. ''Karin i...just had to take care of some things...i didnt know i was going to be gone for this amount of time...i am sorry though...'' he told her. Ichigo had so many other things going on he had a hollow inside his mind telling him what to do how to do things Shinji in another part trying to train him how to surpass his hollow a mountain load of people asking where he was not to mention a tonne of work and hassle when he got back to school and now there was a new threat in town that was causing his friends problems. Ichigo had a thought just then all the things going on everything moving at the fast pace it was all the things going wrong was down to him or his fault more or less. Ichigo had gone off to do this trainng with his hollow because it was preventing him from saving his friends interupting when he was in a fight leaving them wide open for attacks. He was only enduring this trainning for the sake of his friends so they could be safe around him. He had put his own problems before he friends with his hollow and he had been out of town for little under 4 days and he hadnt even realised his friends needed him.

''...Im coming back to school as of tomorrow...'' he said then looked over at Orihime. He should of here rather than galventing off fighting as usual. Ichigo would call Shinji and tell him the deal was off.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime had a look of hesitation in her eyes seeing Ichigo definatly was hiding a few things and knowing he had a good reason to. She had finally got some answers from him and to her shock he was powerless he had no form of power, Ichigo, the guy who used nothing but brute strength to wards off his enemies had that no more, it didnt seem right, or fair. ''But...but i dont understand your shinigami powers are...'' she began but stopped maybe it was something he didnt like to speak about anymore and heard enough of it. ''...Sorry Kurosaki-Kun...'' she said. But she suddenly heard him say not to worry as if he already knew she would have a look of concern on her face which she did. ''Oh um...heh heh'' she said a little nervously but he had said he'd get his shinigami power back and she beleived he would stop at nothing to get them back.
It all became much clearer so that was why he didnt get involved in a battle with Itsuki earlier. She knew Ichigo probably felt helpless or unworthy maybe but she so desperatly wanted to tell him how he could never be helpless in her eyes and that despite all his weaknesses he was still one of the best shinigami she had seen in action. But she couldnt find the way round to putting that into words her mind was spinning with all the things becoming more clearer trying to figure it out.

Orihime heard him state that if she needed anything she could ask him ''Thanks'' she said and then watched as Isshin changed into shinigami mode to go help Ana, and she culdnt help but think of a father and son team up agasint hollow scum, she found it interesting that Ichigo came from a family of an ex captain and who knows what else there seemed to be a mystery with Ichigo's family but maybe someday all would be revealed. She suddenly heard someone, Ichigo's younger sister well one of them Karin was confronting him. She heard her and couldnt help but feel a little sadened. She knew Ichigo's sisters probably really missed their brother especially if he hasnt been around for days but she knew what a difficult situation Ichigo was in. ''He was probably visiting a friend right Kurosaki-Kun?'' she said and smiled a little. ''He would never forget you or Yuzu-San...'' she said trying to help Ichigo. ''But now he's here and you should probably catch up with your brother'' she smiled. She could see Ichigo's sisters were very nice girls when she spotted them out with Ichigo. She looked at Karin and Ichigo and could see a similar relation she had with her own brother the late Sora Inoue and he came in late after working to try and keep a roof over their heads. Though Ichigo's silence made her frown a little and from nowhere he decided he would return to school. Orihime watched him guessing that whatever he had been off doing for the past few days he was missing was important and he was putting it off because of the new threat in Karakura. ''You are?...'' she said.

[Kurosaki Isshin]

Karin looked at Ichigo with a hardend pexpresison but it looked liek she was going to crack her angry look and turn sad. ''Ichi how could you just go!! Yuzu was upset she thinks you got really hurt or worse died!'' she scoulded her brother. But she paused trying to regain herself when he apologised. She looked like she was about to cry but she held it in. ''Im still mad at you even if you are sorry!'' she demanded. She suddenly looked to Orihime hearing she knew Ichigo had been missing for a long time in their eyes anyway. She smiled weakly hearing she said he never forget them. ''You should of just told us the truth...i know you didnt visit a friend because i know what you are!'' she said to Ichigo. ''Ive seen you Ichi...there's no denying it you run around in that black kimono like its some kind of uniform...Ichi are you in trouble with some kind of gang from school?'' she questionned him. ''I know something happening i can feel it like i can sense something bad...tell me what youre doing!'' she insisted.

''I....Ichi...'' came a quiet voice there stood Yuzu her eyes glassy she stood there looking seeing Orihime and Karin and Ichigo all there. But she looked to Ichigo and beamed she didnt care where he had been she didnt care that he hadnt told them where he went she just wanted to see he was ok. Yuzu ran at Ichigo and clung to his arm ''Your back!'' she said. Karin looked at Yuzu and blinked ''Yuzu!'' she commanded but stopped. Orihiem was right in the fact they needed to catch up. ''Where's dad Ichi?'' she asked him she knew he was in the clinic early seeing to some things.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked at Karin guilt in his eyes but he couldnt help but feel responsible for any mishaps going on. Ichigo knew he should of told someone where he was going but it would only lead to suspicions and questions from everyone and he just could blow the cover of the Vizards they were already trying to hide from everyone and Ichigo was surprised they even let him see they hideout. Ichigo scowled more seeing Karin's distress though she was hiding it well, it reminded him of himself not wanting to display how sad he really was. ''Karin snap out of it already'' he told her. ''I had my reasons and i cant tell you anything like that'' he said to her after hearing she knew something was up and she had seen him in his shinigami robes. Karin knew as far as Ichigo was concerned she knew enough to figure everything out later. But she thought it was part of a group in school, yeah sure he was seen as a punk ass bully in school and was in with the wrong crowds the usual but he would never get involved in something Karin was suggesting as if he was part of some kind of mob going out on the path of violence. He saved the town and maybe the world with the much needed help of his friends but he doubt she'd beleive him if he told the truth, he could see how that would go down and drop in somewhere by the way im a hollow yeah not something she'd beleive just like that but Ichigo was keeping it from her to prevent her getting dragged into his whirlwind kind of life he lead.

''Sorry...but i cant tell you all of that right now...its fine you can be mad at me i would be too you know..'' he said with a small smile. ''But for now i have to watch over Inoue'' he said and then heard another little voice it was his other younger sister Yuzu. Ichigo looked at her seeing her face she looked miserable but he gave a small sigh knowing he'd have to talk to both his sisters properly. But Yuzu to his surprise came over and clung to his arm. Ichigo had a paused or late reaction and stared at Yuzu for a moment ''Hey, Yuzu...'' he said before he pulled her into a headlock gently ''Of course im ok...sorry i made you worry though'' he began but heard Karin ask where Isshin was. Ichigo didnt want to lie or cover up lies anymore ''He's out there looking for Ana...she's by herself so Dad went out just now'' he said.

Ichigo glanced to Orihime hearing her ask to confirm he was going to return to school. ''...Yeah...i have to face it some day and...well my trainning can wait...there's more important things going on round here'' he said.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime watched Ichigo's sisters scold him for not returning sooner and Karin was even questionning further on what job Ichigo had she seemed like she was onto him trying to squeeze information out. She hoped Ichigo would tell him sisters but to her surprise he hadnt really confirmed it and yet nor did he confirm it to be true. She smiled a little at his response and then see Karin not really convinved, she let her smile fade, Ichigo was trying his best to keep everything seperated from his crazay life preventing them from getting in trouble it was a difficult sitiation indeed. She then see Yuzu Ichigo's other younger sister who was just simply happy to see Ichigo was ok and not question him. Though she put it down to Karin being suspicious and seen Ichigo in shinigami from and that would rasie suspicions.

Orihime did look a little concerned when Ichigo confirmed he would be returing to school, she couldnt help but feel uneasy about it. Yeah sure it was great that Ichigo would be back in school where a normal teenager like him should be but he had let slip that he would stop his trainning, Orihime didnt know if he was aware he had just said that he may not of been or said it purposley but it meant that Orihime's workings out were probably true and Ichigo was trying to train the hollow in side him. ''But...Kurosaki-Kun...'' she began but paused thinking. Ichigo was seeing it as Itsuki was a threat to his friends and to the town. ''Arent you sure that your trainng can wait? i mean is it dangerous to put it on hold?'' she said but frowned and looked to his sisters. ''You dont have to answer that Kurosaki-Kun...im just glad your back'' she ended knowing she'd probably get a better answers had Karin and Yuzu not been here.
