Chapter Eleven:

At Karakura high school we what as Orihime tires to hurry her two friends away from the danger only she knew was there. A large tentacled hollow was sitting on top of the school building watching as she tried to persuade her friends to leave.

"Hurry up Chizuru, Tatsuki, let's go home!" she called happily trying to convince them to follow her away from the courtyard they were currently standing in. Her first thought was 'I wish I wasn't aware of it.' her next thought was 'we have to get out of here' and that was when she realized that only two things could rise to the surface in her buzzing mind; she knew it was dangerous, and she knew she had to get her friends away from there and her best way of doing that was not to alarm them.

So she pretended nothing was wrong even though her body was screaming that she should run, and that she would be torn apart if she didn't. Unfortunately even with all of her pushing her friends still didn't know there was danger, because of that they kept messing around; listening but not really following her directions to run.

Orihime called to them again but she quickly realized that they weren't listening to her anymore but instead were bickering. She glanced back to where the beast had been sitting and noticed that it no longer resided there, this quickly sent her into panic. She searched everywhere while also trying not to appear scared for her friend's case.

"Sorry Orihime! I'm going to go change out of me uniform!" Tatsuki's voice brought her out of her thoughts and she quickly looked back at her friend terrified.

"Hey! Tatsuki-chan wait!" she called but her friend just blew her off.

"You guys go on ahead!" she smiled not realizing the danger the were all really in. Just as Orihime was about to call to her again she felt the hollows presence above them causing her body to begin to tremble.

"You, can see me can't you?" the hollow spoke out scaring Orihime enough to make her drop her calm act.

"Run Chizuru-chan! Hurry!" she screamed at the top of her lungs but her friend didn't understand why she seemed so worried.

"Run? What are you talking about?" the hollow chuckled and then sent down large bullet like things in every direction shattering the school windows and coming down onto the ground; luckily missing her body but when the smoke cleared Chizuru wasn't so lucky. As fast as Orihime could she jumped up and ran to her friend to see if she was still alive.

"Chizuru-chan! Are you alright!? Chizuru-chan!" she ran to her friend and knelt down to check her bleeding shoulder with tears in her eyes.

"I might not be so good. But what should I do? There's tears in your eyes, how cute.-" she smiled as she reached up and rubbed the side of Orihime's face before standing up. " I don't know anything about what happened but for now I'm bleeding a lot but it doesn't hurt much. So don't worry about it at all okay? Here look, it moves perfectly well. Right? I'm completely fine so don't give me that look anymore.-" she watched as Orihime looked unconvinced. "Actually I do like that tearful look but I like your smiling face even more-" before she could finish her sentence her arm shot out on its own and grabbed Orihime's throat. This surprised the both of them and she tried to pull her arm away but it wouldn't budge. She watched as Orihime gave her a surprised look.

"Wait, it's not like that princess." Chizuru tried to pulled her arm away and began to panic when she felt her hand start to squeeze down on Orihime's throat cutting her airway. "No! I can't let go! Are you okay princess!?" she screamed when her face began turning purple.

"Is it painful? Does it hurt?-" the hollow chuckled as it dropped down on the ground in a heap. "That is my ability, I don't like conflict so I drive in the seed that embed themselves into a victim's body which then takes complete control of it. Right then he forced Chizuru to punch Orihime in the face knocking her down completely. "I'll have you kill each other, instead of me since I hate conflict. Now, shall we begin? Please let me see! It's been a long time since I've seen a pretty girl with such abilities such as yourself. Now, get helplessly killed by your own classmates!" the hollow giggled loudly as a sign for the taken over students to start attacking her. All at once they piled onto her grabbing at her hair, face, chest, stomach, legs and her back. Orihime screamed at in protest but the say no signs of help until they were all kicked away by Tatsuki.

"Tatsuki-chan!" Orihime cried as she tried to cover herself up from where the student had ripped her clothes.

"I'm sorry Orihime, I didn't realize it earlier, that this thing was here." Tatsuki said without looking down at he friend but instead looking at the vague outline of the monster.

"Tatsuki-chan you can see it? That thing?" Orihime looked at her friend surprised and amazed. She knew her friend was amazing; ever since they were kids Tatsuki and Izumi had always been the ones to protect her when things were rough.

"I can't see it, but I know roughly where it is. I know roughly where the one who made you cry is! The huge one! You mistook who it is you are fighting, come and get it! Since the old days, Izumi and I have always been the ones who beat the shit out those who make Orihime cry! However, since Izumi isn't here right now, guess I have the spot light!"

One by one Tatsuki destroys each student coming toward them without breaking a sweat.

"Come on what's next? None of you guys are a match for me!! Bring on stronger guys!" she laughed crazily scaring Orihime slightly.

"Oh my, she's quite a lively girl isn't she? That's fine, the livelier a girl's face is the prettier it is when it contorts into tears and pain!" the hollow roared sending more student from behind surprising her. She was fully ready to counter attack but the person who grabbed her shoulder was her friend Chizuru; which completely caught her off guard.

"Run Tatsuki. Please." Chizuru had tears running down her face as she had no control over her own body. With her holding onto the bewildered Tatsuki the hollow had no problem shooting one of its seeds onto her body which embedded into her shoulder. Which her occupied there was no one to protect Orihime so when the horde of student came up behind her and grabbed her arms and covered her mouth she couldn't get out of it.

"How are you feeling? Those seeds driven into your body take root and control it. Soon, the right to control your own body will transfer to me. Now what should I do with you? You, who interfered with my dance with this girl; must suffer the greatest of insults. Hmm let me think?

1) suicide by hanging yourself after the school boys rape you in turns?

2) suicide by cutting the rope after stripping naked and hanging from the school roof?

Hmm let me think of more." The hollow began thinking; as he was doing so Orihime began protesting but couldn't get any coherent words to be heard since a student was blocking her mouth with his arm.

"You shut up!" the hollow roared making his minions slam her head into the ground silencing her. At that moment she cried for Izumi to magically appear and save them from the monster they were facing.

"Now, how troublesome, my perverted mind cannot think up a good idea. Oh, I know! How about you try and think about it yourself! About your own death, yes that's perfect!" the hollow sounded giddy as he smiled creepily. Though his face fell when Tatsuki began speaking.

"Shut up, quit babbling and let Orihime go!" Tatsuki heaved in a breath trying to breathe through the pain of the seeds invading her body.

"Hmm, do you understand the position you are in? Your life is now rolling about in the palm of my hand." he used one of his smaller arms to slowly rub against Tatsuki's face. But right as he rubbed underneath her mouth she chomped down on it refusing to let go. The hollow panicked and began to rapidly beat all of his arms down onto her head trying to force her to let go. In a last effort to force her to let go the hollow began shooting her body with the pellets screaming that she should die. All the while Orihime watched in terror forcing all the students off of her body with a new found strength. She managed to get to Tatsuki just as her body hit the ground.

Seeds were already embedded in the front of her body and when Orihime got close Tatsuki kicked her in the stomach knocking her to the ground. She fell to her knees as her friend jumped to her feet immediately, she no longer had control of her body. Tatsuki then kicked her in the back sending her completely to the ground; as pain erupted in her body Orihime was forced to remember all the abuse she faced in middle school. She remembered how she became friends with Tatsuki and then later Izumi. Izumi had protected both her and Tatsuki for three years now. With her not here Tatsuki had no one to protect her while she protected Orihime; now that Tatsuki has no control it is forcing Orihime to evolve; to become stronger.
