Capturing kind-hearted princes is unacceptable! I had hoped that my first encounter with a witch would be pleasant, and that I could try riding a broomstick, but it looks like I was wrong.

Know this! Opossum-san, Ogre-san and I will be storming your castle and rescuing Prince Ishida! If you wish to avoid severe property damage, you will set him free at once.

The maiden had been lost for five days. Five long, lonely days. In that time Orihime had despaired of ever finding a way out of The Shadow Forest.

Hope had come in the form of a friendly marsupial on the third day. Opossum-san was an outcast, and knew not how to play dead. In return for lessons he agreed to find her help.

After two days of traveling (opossums are quite slow, afterall) he came upon a brave and chivalrous prince. Immediately he entered the forest to try and locate the lost maiden.

But not long after Opossum-san returned without help, and looking quite distressed. The opossum had found someone to come rescue her, but the young man had gotten into trouble himself!

And that was the last straw. She would have to help herself, and save the kind individual who had gotten into this mess.

With the help of the opossum and an ogre who happened to enjoy her cooking (and had shared some interesting recipes with her) they tracked down the castle.

I shouldn't be panicking. I really shouldn't. Things will still be okay. There isn't any reason for him to start a fight here.

[Tatsuki-chan]

Tatsuki-chan, I have a question!! Ishida-kun needed a partner for the swing dance competition, and asked me, so I said yes. But since we both need to take lessons, and they are scheduled...I was wondering if I could work out a different schedule for the video store? With the same amount of hours, just at different times!

The lessons are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 1 o'clock! And then the competition is on the 19th, at 6 o'clock.

[/Tatsuki]

Everyone is still talking about the meteor shower! I wonder how many wishes were made? There must have been a lot...

Oh, Nia-san! If you still wanted to meet and maybe have lunch...what would be a good day for Nia-san?

I'm okay. I'm really okay. The truth isn't something to be afraid of, even if it hurts.

I have a lot to be thankful for.

~~Have I gotten stronger? I really hope so...~~

Six more days, and I get my powers back. I guess I should start planning.

I don't think I'm cursed today! But since a lot of people are talking about themselves, I thought that I'd share a few truths, too!

* My birthday is September 3rd

* My best friend is Arisawa Tatsuki

* Last night, I dreamed that I was a squirrel

* Cooking, crafts and martial arts are a few of my hobbies!

* I also love red bean paste, sweet potatoes with butter, hot dogs and peanut butter, zucchini brownies...

* And robots and skirts and movies and stories about alien abduction...!

What about everyone else?!

I can't stop worrying. I tell Kuchiki-san "be strong!", but I'm a hypocrite -- I can't even take my own advice. ~~It's always been like this.~~

What will -- what is happening? Not that knowing would do any good...

Tatsuki-chan, do you think we could close the shop early today? I was wondering...well, since today is a nice day, we should go do something fun! Not that working isn't fun! But...you know what I mean.

So I was here before. I'm starting to remember, and the notes Kurotsuchi-san sent me helped a lot. ~~Though I wonder if it would have been easier to forget...~~

I keep on going over and over everything in my mind, even though there isn't anything I can do about it here. It's cruel -- back, forth, back -- stuck here, unable to do anything except wait.

But I can't stay stuck like this. Even if I don't feel like it I have to go outside and smile and do grocery shopping and say "hello!" to new people because that's what I normally do. And then, people will stop asking "are you alright?" ~~Because I'm the one who is supposed to ask that.~~

Kurotsuchi-san, thank you for the notes. They helped a lot! I think I remember most things, now. Or at least I don't think I'm forgetting anything...

Spring is already here! Maybe we should put up decorations in the Tanabata Video Store?

[Orihime is kneeling near the carousel, a look of horror on her face. Ishida had been right next to her, and Kurosaki...was that really still Kurosaki?! Ulquiorra had been defeated, but he was still about to --]

[And then everything had changed and suddenly she was very much alone. Visibly trembling and in shock; her hands go to her face and she lets out a cry of terror right before the transmission ends.]

[Orihime's voice is soft as she speaks.]

I'm here!

...You see, Kurosaki-kun, I came to say good-bye.

There are actually a lot of other people I want to say good-bye to as well. Like Tatsuki-chan, and Sado-kun, and Ishida-kun, and Kuchiki-san --

[And this is when she abruptly stops speaking after noticing Yuzu and Karin. After thinking about them she realizes that this is the first time she has ever been in Ichigo's room, goes to give him a kiss...and can't bring herself to do it. Now she sounds tearful.]

I can't. I can't do it afterall. I'm no good. This is the end, and I'm acting like this...

[Orihime then takes a moment to pull herself together before continuing.]

Kurosaki-kun, there were so many things I wanted to do. I wanted to become a teacher, an astronaut, and a baker! I wanted to go to a bunch of different donut shops and ask for one of everything! And I wanted to ask the ice-cream man for one of everything, too!

[She lets out a long sigh, still thinking of everything she wanted to do.]

If only I had five lifes! Then I could have been born in five different towns, eaten five lifetime's worth of food, and have five different careers, and...

I could fall in love with the same person, five times.

Thank you, Kurosaki-kun. Good-bye.

[You can hear muffled crying because she loves her brother and cannot fathom why he is not here. =( ]

And...this isn't home! Oh, no... I don't remember going off with strangers because Brother always told me not to and I would never because it would make him upset and worry!! I have to find him!

~~I can't believe I did that.~~ ~~I can't believe I did that.~~ ~~I can't believe I did that.~~

Even if it was a curse... ~~I can't believe I did that.~~

And Ishida-kun said he didn't even want friends who are friends of shinigami before...he must really dislike me now.

Then...Kurosaki-kun...would that count as my first kiss? It was just his hand, but it was still a kiss, right? Even though I know Kurosaki-kun will never feel that way about me, I can't help but wonder...I always thought my first kiss would be with --

My feelings for him are something precious to me. But am I going to feel this way forever?

This isn't something I can talk to Tatsuki-chan about. I have to figure this out by myself.

Kurosaki-kun comes back...and Kuchiki-san leaves. I guess that it wasn't a sign that we were all starting to go back.

~~Love can be cruel sometimes.~~

No! Orihime, you can't start thinking like that! What would Brother say?! He would be so disappointed in me if he knew I was feeling sorry for myself over something like this.

I should go out and do something. Cheer myself up!

[/private]

Today seems like a good day for a walk in the park! Would someone like to go with me? Though we should all bundle up really well, since everyone has been getting sick... [here she notices the shadow] lately...

[And here is one of those awkwardly long pauses in which you can tell something is wrong. The shadow is insisting she is glad Rukia is gone and away from Ichigo. ]

...No, that isn't true! I want them to be happy! I want everyone to be happy!

[Pause, and now it's going on about how weak she is and all the trouble she has caused.]

I -- I never said I was strong! But I'm able to at least help a little! And --

[Pause, and the shadow laughs at her, and taunts her about her brother, saying how cruel she was to treat him on that fateful day, and how he would still be alive if she hadn't -- how he never deserved that. And by now Orihime is in tears, almost unable to speak.]

..If...if I could change that, I would...I would give anything to change that!

[One more pause, and the shadow takes it too far by saying how all the people close to her (and more) will die because of her.]

No...NO! STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT--!

SANTEN KESSHUN I REJECT!

[And she ends up knocking the communicator over, turning it off.]

[ooc; Okay so I've already got my ticket to hell right here. ._. So I wanted to use this curse to open Orihime up a bit more; get her a bit more CR, let people get closer to her, etc. I didn't want it to be too tl;dr so I summarized what the shadow said in the brackets, and of course no one can hear what it says. Only her reactions. She used Santen Kesshun as a shield in defense, but the light worked to chase the shadow away. I'll have it so that she'll tentatively use the network again an hour or so later (pretend it's an hour or so later, that is XD), or I could do action. I'm flexible. Um, if I forgot anything, drop me a comment or IM me? @_@

ETA: Gotta sleep soon, so if I suddenly disappear, I'll tag in the morning!]

Ishida-kun, I hope that you were surprised! And that you had fun!

Thank you to everyone who helped out, too. I really appreciate it. ♥

And...also, I hope everyone is being extra careful! Since lots of people seem to be getting sick, and it's better to be safe than sorry, right? Having to go see a doctor is never fun...~~though they usually give out stickers!~~

I think I'm going to make some hot chocolate~

Excuse me everyone!!

Well, that is...if you're a friend of Ishida Uryuu!

Ishida-kun's birthday is on the sixth, and I was wondering...would everyone like to throw him a surprise birthday party?!

I know that Ishida-kun would probably say "that isn't necessary!" but I think he would really like a surprise party. Because, we should all try and do things normally here and have fun, I think. And everyone should have a birthday party no matter how old they are.

We can jump out and yell "SURPRISE!" and have a piñata and do games and eat peanut butter hot dogs! Other things, too, but those are the most important.

Kurosaki-kun is back. I'm so happy that he's okay, and that he can be with Yuzu-chan and Karin-chan and...Kuchiki-san and everyone else again. There are so many people who care for Kurosaki-kun.

But I also hope that everyone can return home and be safe soon. Soon.

And...

Another year older. Almost five months spent here, too.

When I was little I always thought that at age 17, I'd feel more sure of myself...more like an adult. But even though I ~~hope~~ guess I've changed, I don't really feel all that different.

Brother...I hope that I've made you proud, even if just a little bit.

Guess what!! I taught Cheerio-kun how to play dead! Before I've only heard of dogs playing dead and that cat they showed on the news once but now he knows a trick! I wonder if there is a pet circus here...

It's ~~strange~~ ~~amazing~~ unnerving how a single decision or action can affect everything.

A lot of people were affected by the curse. Tatsuki-chan was a shinigami and didn't even remember me that day. She would make a great shinigami! But...I don't know what I would do without her. And Tatsuki-chan has been in danger so many times...it isn't fair to her. If I ever lost her, I would never forgive myself.

And Kurosaki-kun --

With the help of Urahara-san, Kuchiki-san was able to help him. I know that Kurosaki-kun will always stay strong and in control back in our world, where there are no curses. Especially with Kuchiki-san by his side.

Still, there is that selfish part of me that wishes I could be the one to help him.

~~The things he said --~~

~~Everytime something like this happens I feel a small part of me break --~~

But things will never change. I have to accept that. Kuchiki-san is a wonderful person, and Kurosaki-kun is happy.

So I should be happy.

I just wish I could stop feeling this way.
