Chapter 44: The Call of the Heart (II)

"Jingle Bell ......" In the early morning, an alarm bell sounded faithfully at this time.

It is an elegantly furnished bedroom, simple and generous, clean and tidy. In one corner of the room was a desk, densely packed with a large number of books, but because it had been carefully organized, there was no distraction, and the spread out textbook proved that the owner of the book had obviously studied late last night. Diagonally facing the desk, a pale blue single bed is covered with a pink and white quilt embroidered with a cute cartoon bear. But if you look closely, it was added later, and it is obvious that the owner embroidered it himself.

"Hmm~" The quilt squirmed, and an orange head came out, followed by a delicate nasal voice, obviously the owner had just woken up.

Opening his big brown eyes, the owner blinked in a daze, as if he felt a little blurry, and then stretched out the back of his hand and gently wiped it. Well, now it's good! The girl smiled knowingly, revealing her two small tiger teeth slightly.

After getting dressed, the girl lifted the curtains, and the wisps of sunlight that had been waiting outside hurriedly shone in, casting pieces of dazzling gold spots on the floor. "Ha~~" The girl felt the warmth and softness of her body, stretched her waist loosely, pouted, shook her head gently, and the long hair that reached her waist behind her back suddenly fluttered, and under the background of the golden light, she swayed out a beautiful figure, like a little angel who appeared in the world!

Standing on tiptoe and spinning briskly, the girl ran and jumped downstairs humming a cheerful tune. After washing up and enjoying a day of breakfast, the girl packed up her stationery for the day and prepared to leave home for school.

Before leaving, he routinely came to a small mirror and looked at his face to see if he had carelessly omitted a place without makeup. Everything was fine, and the girl smiled. Suddenly, the girl stretched out her right hand, clenched it into a small fist, shook it in front of herself in the mirror, and said, "Come on today, Orihime!" ”

Time in school always slips away unconsciously, and when Orihime looks up again, the light outside the window has dimmed somewhere, look at the time, and the day's lessons have passed again!

"So today's class is over!" Orihime showed a slight look of distress, but it dissipated in less than a second, and a gentle and cheerful smile that made people feel empowered at first glance reappeared on her face.

"Orihime, why are you giggling again!" A girl walked over, and there was a hand knife in her hand, right in the middle of Orihime's forehead: "Didn't they tell you not to giggle in front of the public so frivolously!" ”

"Hmm......" Orihime let out a mournful roar, frowned slightly, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "Long Gui, you beat me again, you will become stupid!" ”

The girl with short hair and a slightly neutral girl who looks capable and simple is none other than Ryugui Arisawa who came to meet her. Orihime's friend, who is also Ichigo's friend, has a faint admiration for Ichigo, and the relationship is ambiguous, but he may not even notice himself.

"Don't worry, no, you're stupid enough anyway, no matter how stupid you are, you can't be stupid!" Long Gui pursed his lips and complained unceremoniously.

"Inoue." Just when Orihime and Ryugui were chatting for three or four minutes, Ichigo, Yuryu, and Chado came over and beckoned Orihime to go to Urahara Kisuke for training.

"Hmm." Orihime nodded to Ichigo and turned back to say goodbye to Ryugui: "Then, Ryugui, I'll go first." ”

"Hmm" Ryugui replied lightly, looking at Orihime, who was happily talking to Ichigo, his face darkened slightly.

"Hmm...... Wrong! Just as the group was about to walk out of the school gate, Orihime's heart suddenly struck, and an uneasy palpitation hit her, as if to remind her that she couldn't go any further!

"Stop...... Stop it...... Don't go to Mr. Urahara's house. Go home...... When you wake up, everything will be restored......" Suddenly, it seemed that an ethereal voice sounded in the bottom of my heart, constantly asking myself to hurry home. "What's going on...... Orihime was in a trance for a while, looking confused.

"Inoue, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Orihime suddenly stopped, with an uneasy look on her face, Ichigo frowned slightly and asked.

"I don't know...... It's just that it feels a little weird......" Orihime twisted her body uneasily, looked at Ichigo, and suddenly felt an inexplicable heartache, as if the owner of this face was about to leave her...... "How come! What a nasty feeling! Kurosaki-san, how can Kurosaki-san's have something to do! It's really ......" Orihime quickly shook the idea out of her mind!

"Inoue, your face is so white, it can't be sick!" Ichigo saw that Orihime's face suddenly turned a little pale, and he leaned over with concern and persuaded, "I think it's better to forget it today." If Inoue is not feeling well today, go back and rest for a while, and talk about it when he is well! ”

"No, it's okay!" Looking at Ichigo's face that suddenly came over and smelling the smell that made people blush and heartbeat, Orihime's face was flushed very uncompetitively, and she hurriedly waved her hand, stepped back again and again, and said hurriedly, "It's really okay!" Let's hurry up, Mr. Urahara may be in a hurry! It's not good to keep everyone waiting! With that, Orihime was already three meters away from Ichigo......

Scratching his head in confusion, seeing that Orihime said this, Ichigo stopped saying anything, and everyone walked towards the Urahara store again.

However, throughout the afternoon of training, the uneasy feeling lingered in Orihime's heart, and she never left, making her look like she was not energetic, and the training went wrong again and again. Seeing this, the others kept persuading her to go and rest first, but Orihime, who was in a trance, refused with a strong smile on her face.

As time passed, it was getting closer and closer to the time when Ichigo and the others were returning home from training. That uneasiness slowly swelled, and finally turned into a shadow, hanging over Orihime's heart, leaving her at a loss!

"Keep Kurosaki, don't let him leave the Urahara store......" The faint voice echoed in Orihime's heart again. The voice, like a big bell, was extremely dull, and it shook Orihime's heart and made her feel irritable. "What the hell is going on! Will anything happen to Kurosaki-san! "Orihime intuitively felt that if she didn't follow these words, something bad would happen to Ichigo!" Keep Kurosaki......" The voice rang out once.

"But, in that case, it's embarrassing......" Orihime just remembered that scene, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel feverish. So, in the end, several people still embarked on the road home, and parted ways on the way.

History once again cruelly appeared in front of Orihime's eyes, and when she saw the beating heart in Grimmajo's hand, Orihime felt that her heart was suddenly torn! The pain from her soul immediately turned into a torrent and overwhelmed her in an instant!

……………… I..................... Cut.................................

It was a dark space, empty and vast, and a great river rushed through it, splitting it in half. There was no light source in the space, only the inexplicable sparkling waves from the river below gave it a dull hue.

Kurosaki-san...... Kurosaki-san...... "Ever since Orihime woke up from the darkness, she found herself trapped in this strange river. The water here is like glue, wrapping her around so tightly that she can't move, but it doesn't sink either. Orihime only felt as if she had been drifting for a long time, constantly flowing down, although there was no concept of "down" here.

Kurosaki-san...... Kurosaki-san...... "Orihime is scared in her heart, the black "sky", the black river, and the black "wind...... Everything around her was black, and the dark color frightened her, frightened her, and only these four words that kept chanting could give her warmth and give her the strength to support her......

"Kurosaki-san, where are you......" she asked the dim sky; Why didn't you come to my rescue......" she asked about the raging river; "I'm so scared...... she asked about the moving wind, but the silence around her was as good as ever......

Kurosaki-san...... Kurosaki-san......" kept shouting out of Orihime's mouth, and the shouting of that name had become an instinct in the body. Gradually, however, as time passed, Orihime found that everything in front of her began to blur, and her consciousness slowly dissipated and sank......

"Ichigo, Ichigo......" In a trance, that familiar face appeared in front of Orihime again, and approached him with a smile that warmed him...... Finally, Orihime shouted out the name that she had shouted countless times in her heart but had never dared to shout! With a smile, Orihime slowly closed her heavy eyelids......

Following that sense, Ichigo, who had been floating in this black void for a long time, finally arrived, but the last thing he saw was the scene where Orihime closed her eyes and slowly sank into the river!

"Inoue! It's me, Ichigo Kurosaki! Don't close your eyes! Open your eyes! Ichigo roared loudly and frantically pounced, trying to grab Orihime's hand, but he emptied it and passed through Orihime's hand, and didn't catch anything!

"Open your eyes, bastard!!" With his hands dancing wildly, Ichigo watched helplessly as Orihime's body was slowly swallowed by the Black River...... Thinking of what happened to me these days, a deep sense of powerlessness spread throughout my body and evolved into boundless despair! In an instant, Ichigo only felt that his whole body had lost his strength, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground weakly, his eyes were blank, and his decadent aura filled his body......

"Ichigo...... Ichigo ...... "In the dead space, a faint cry suddenly sounded in Ichigo's ears, and he suddenly had a thrill, and quickly got up to find the source of the sound.

"It's Inoue!" Ichigo was pleasantly surprised to find that the voice was actually coming from Orihime's mouth! Ichigo hurriedly stepped forward and tried to hold Orihime's still exposed arm, but it was still useless! In fact, at this moment, Orihime's consciousness is on the verge of dissipating, and the reason why she can make a sound is just the instinct of the body, or the obsession at work......

"No!!" Ichigo roared wildly, his nails digging deep into his body, and his head was in chaos......

"Ichigo, farewell!" At this moment, a tear slipped from the corner of Orihime's eye, intertwining with a dazzling light! Under the domination of the last consciousness, a sentence gently drifted from her mouth: "Ichigo, actually, I like you......"

"Boom!" Like a thunderstorm roaring in his ears, Ichigo's mind suddenly went blank, and then, tears flowed down his face...... At this moment, Ichigo made a decision that made him happy for the rest of his life!

Suddenly, Ichigo flew up, and Ichigo opened his arms, hugged Orihime, and covered his lips......

"Bang bang! Bang bang!! Suddenly, a strong heartbeat sounded, and in an instant, the golden light was magnificent, like a golden sun, driving away all the darkness!!

(ps: I thought about it for a long time, but after all, my strength was still limited, and I couldn't write that feeling...... Alas ~ ask for comments, ask for advice! ）
