Things are very strange right now. There's fighting and planning and...stuff.

So I've been thinking a lot about the future, because the present is so uncertain.

I mentioned it once, offhand, a little while ago, but Uryuu and I are getting married. Sooner than we'd first thought, probably within the next year. Uryuu's already started looking at fabrics for my wedding dress. I thought this picture was really cute.

That's about it I guess. School and work are normal. Yeah.

I tried. I tried. I'm sorry. I couldn't...He wouldn't...he's dead. He wouldn't come back. I couldn't bring him back. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I see him when I close my eyes. He wouldn't come back. Why wouldn't he come back???

Hi, everyone! There are new people again. A lot of the tennis boys are back. But they're different. It's weird. Shishido is back, but he's not my Shishido.

Anyway. I'm posting this morning during my free period to announce brawlsecret! It's a community for everyone at Brawl, and it's like PostSecret, ljsecret, and fandomsecrets! Like a big anonymous meme with pictures. I hope that everyone will join!

I keep forgetting that I have this thing! Most of the friends that I've made on here over the past year and a half are gone, so I guess I don't really know a lot of the people here, and I've been really busy planning...things...and I guess I've just forgotten to update. But I really miss the people from here that are still around, and I miss meeting new people like I used to all the time!

So...yeah! Hello everyone, there are a whole lot of you that I don't know. My name is Orihime! I'm seventeen! I live in Karakura with my boyfriend, Ishida Uryuu! We have a cat named Yuurei! I work as a waitress at a nice Japanese restaurant and I work as a clerk at a pharmacy! And umm...I think that's about it. Oh, I have powers that I use to fight bad spirits called Hollow. I'm from Bleach. That probably about covers it. ^__^

I found this funny comic! I noticed that there are a whole lot of people from the Fruits Basket fandom around here and I really like that series, and this comic is like a crossover between Fruits Basket, and my series! Isn't that fun? Kurosaki-kun and Kyo-san look a lot alike! ^__^

Well anyway. HI AGAIN, everyone, I'd love to meet all of you! ^__^

Hello everyone!!! I keep forgetting to update this thing! Things have been pretty normal...school and work and Uryuu...come to think of it there hasn't even been a Hollow attack in a long time. I wonder if that means anything. It's strange...all the peace is almost disconcerting now that I think about it.

Anyway! I haven't updated since last year, so Happy New Year, everyone! It's been a great year so far. ^__^

CHRISTMAS CAROLS!!!

2007-12-24T10:08:12Z

Oh man! I did this last year, and I almost forgot for this year! Today is Christmas Eve already!!! I'm going to do a

Christmas Carols Meme!!!

Request any Christmas Carol you want to hear me sing, and I'll record myself singing it and upload it for you!!!! I'll do as many as I can, so feel free to request one, even if I don't know you very well. ^__^

2007-12-22T22:30:14Z

It's almost Christmas!!! I'm so excited! This year it's just going to be me and Uryuu, and it'll be nice and calm and I'm really looking forward to it. I hope that everyone else has fun plans for the Holidays, it's so beautiful this time of year and everything is wonderful and James-san and Lily-san had their new baby and Uryuu and I are going to get married when we grow up and...I'm happy.

Look at this picture I found! It's holiday-ish, and I think that Uryuu looks great in yukata. I think the little girl is supposed to be our daughter. I wonder if mine and Uryuu's kids will really look like that. *___* She's pretty.

[[ooc: From here.]]

Anyway! Happy Holidays everyone. ^__^

OOC: LOG! Sirius+Orihime!

2007-12-01T03:11:30Z

Who: Sirius and Orihime (and a cameo by the Remus!hedgehog)
What: Hedgehog Rescuing and Orihime finally admitting to Sirius that she and Ishida are engaged.
Where: Sirius and Remus' flat, and then a breakfast shop
When: Tuesday morning
Why: Orihime was getting anxious about keeping the secret.
Notes: Rated PG-13 for language, I suppose.

---

Orihime arrived in Sirius's flat via portkey-mingo, her stomach a bit upset over more than just the uncomfortable ride. "Sirius?" she called timidly, "where are you?"

From the bedroom, there came crashes, swears, terrified squeaks, and Poe-worthy, blood curdling raven cawing.

Orihime gasped and jumped back a bit, before getting ahold of herself and taking a few steps toward the bedroom. "Sirius?" she said a bit louder, biting her lip.

Black feathers and dust billowed out of the door. Sirius Black was standing on the unmade bed, menacing the Black Family heirloom that constituted as their post-carrier, which was perched in the rafters. The Raven cawed angrily, something brown and prickly in its claw. Sirius looked over his shoulder, hearing Orihime. His eyes were wide and wild. "The damn bloody MISERABLE fuckfeathers is trying to make a nest with my fucking husband!" he burst.

The terrified squeaking, if one focused, could be heard as words; "Not a nest, not nest, not a nest! Need tea!"

Orihime looked from Sirius, to the bird, to the hedgehog, and back to Sirius. "...oh," was the only thing she could come up with to say.

"HELP ME GET HIM DOWN!" flailed Sirius, grabbing at the bird's tail. It shrieked and edged further away, the hedge-wolf still held tightly in its claw. "I'll stun the oversized pigeon-" an irate squawk- "and you catch Remus when he falls, okay?"

The frantic squeaking took on a distinctly horrified edge at the mention of this plan.

Orihime flailed and moved apprehensively to stand closer to where the bird was so she was in easy catching distance. "O-okay..."

Sirius nodded, holding his wand aloft. "Ready?" A traumatised squeaking of "NO!! NO!! STOP!! SSSSSIRIUS!! NOT AVIAN!! NO!!"

For someone with doglike hearing, Sirius Black didnt listen very well.

"ONE! TWO!"

It was at this time the wolf-hog sunk his pointy little teeth into the raven's foot.

“THRRREEOOOHHFFUCK!!" howled Sirius. "CATCH HIM, CATCH HIM!"

Orihime squeaked and reached out her arms, missing him completely. The squeak turned into a scream as she realized her mistake, and her hands flew up to her hairpins. "Hinagiku, Lily, Baigon! Souten Kisshun! I reject!" A three-pointed shield formed, and situated itself at such an angle that the squealing hedgehog bounced neatly off of it and landed safely on the bed.

The pureblood immediately dove for the hedgehog, snatching him up and cradling him, as the now royally pissed off raven was attempting to dive in. "FUCK OFF, YOU MAD BIRD!! HE'S NOT A BALL OF TWIGS!!" snarled Sirius as it swooped, throwing three jinxes after the bird. One hit, and it turned into a bag of loam, and fell to the floor with a thud.

"Are you okay?" the heir to the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black asked the shaking, shivering rodent. "Remus doesnt like heights very much," he added to Orihime, panting slightly.

Orihime just nodded and absentmindedly waved at Hinagiku, Lily, and Baigon, as they flew around her head a few times before returning to her hairpins.

Sirius released a breath, jerking his chin at Orihime's hairpins. He gave a crooked grin. "Quick thinking there, love. Cheers. I dont reckon Ive seen the trampoline before."

Orihime nodded again and smiled, for a moment forgetting while she was really there. "Thanks! It's not a trampoline, it's a shield. It's impenetrable!!! It saved me and Uryuu when we fell into Sereitei."

"I hate it when that happens," responded Sirius, winking. He clambered off the bed, being careful not to jostle the little hedgehog, which scrabbled at his hand and squeaked "Pocket! Noooo! Pocket!" until Sirius got the hint and deposited Remus in the pocket of his jumper. He gave a wry grin. "Sorry about all this. Do you mind if I summon a quick cup of tea for him before we leave? To calm him down a bit." From Sirius' pocket came a chitter that sounded like "No birds here. No birds."

Orihime nodded. "Of course." she took a deep breath as she remembered why she was here in the first place, and that sick feeling came back to her stomach. "Take all the time you need."

"It''ll just be a moment!" rasped an oblivious Sirius cheerfully. He led her out of the bedroom to the kitchen, then set a kettle on the stove. A moment after he'd flicked his wand at it, the kettle started whistling "IMMMM REEADDDY YAAAA PRANCING FLOWEEERRY BEEERKK!!" in piercing tones. Sirius winced, taking it off the stove quickly and pouring a cup. He shrugged, chuckling "Present from James."

Orihime nodded for a fourth time and fidgeted with the strap of her bag while Sirius prepared the tea.

As he placed the cup on the table and withdrew Remus from his pocket, he arched an eyebrow. Usually by now she was talking his ears off. Not that he minded, of course. "You alright?" His eyebrows knit in concern. "Did the chaos with that goddamned flying turkey shake you up? I'll make you a cup too, if you like-"

There was a quiet plop. Sirius looked down. Remus the hedgehog looked up at Sirius from inside the teacup.

Orihime flailed, ignoring Sirius' concern. "Isn't the tea hot???"

Tilting his head to the side, Sirius stuck his pointer finger into the soft belly fur of the hedgehog and scratched. "I think he's treating it as a hot tub."

Remus gave a contented chitter, adding on, as a squeaky reprimand, "No birds."

Sirius snorted, "No, no birds." He straightened, still addressing the hedgehog in the teacup. "We'll be back later, okay? Dont stay in there too long. You'll get all pruney. Your lunch is next to the bread box." A short squeak from Remus. Sirius rolled his eyes. "Sunflower seeds." The squeaking increased, becoming unintelligible. Sirius crossed his arms. "What do you mean again? If you dont like it, you do the shopping."

Orihime watched the exchange with wide eyes. "He makes a very cute hedgehog," she observed.

Sirius chuckled. "Perhaps. I think I prefer him in the form where he isnt mistaken for nesting material." He gave the hedgehog another bellyscratch with his pointer finger. "Bye, Moony. And for Merlin's sake, dont burrow into The Plant's pot dirt again. It tickles Its roots too much and it ends up throwing up and Im not cleaning up seven separate piles of mulch again." The hedgehog gave a sullen squeak.

Turning to Orihime, Sirius brightened. "Alright then. Got everything you need?"

Orihime looked down at herself for a moment, before nodding. "Uh....yeah. I'm all set."

"Lovely!" beamed Sirius. "Shall we be off, then? You'll love Maggie Pie's, they've got the best lunch menu." He waved over his shoulder at his husband-gone-prickly rodent, slung an amiable arm around Orihime's narrow shoulders, and apparated with a CRACK.

Orihime gasped as they ended up inside a pleasant looking breakfast shop, not having been entirely prepared for the sensation of apparation. Thankfully Sirius' arm was still around her shoulders, or she definitely would have fallen over.

A pretty Jamaican witch behind the counter spotted their arrival, and immediately bustled up to them. A regular, Sirius gave her a kiss on the cheek, and with a wink, she led them to their table- right at the front of the shop, in a warm slash of sunlight. After enquiring after Remus's health and That New Baby Potter, the witch left them with menus. "So? What did you want to talk about?" asked Sirius, opening his menu.

Orihime felt quite nauseous, and couldn't even bear to pick up her menu. She blushed deeply, fiddling with her engagement ring under the table. "I..."

Oh. Sirius hadnt thought it was something serious. He put down his menu, leaning forward slightly. "Is everything alright, Orihime?"

She nodded and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and figure out a way to word this properly, and coming up with nothing.

A whirlwind of possibilities whipped through Sirius' mind. Was she moving away? Had she been diagnosed with permanent dragon pox? Did she enjoy mime shows? "...'Hime?"

Orihime tried to smile, realizing that Sirius was starting to get genuinely worried. "It's nothing bad, I swear. I mean. I don't think it's bad, but..." She sighed deeply.

"But what?" The heir ran a nervous hand through his hair. "You know you can tell me anything. Are you in trouble at school?" He frowned. "If I have to come in and hex some uppity teachers, that is fine by me."

Orihime shook her head almost frantically. "No! No. I'm not in trouble at school. It's nothing bad, really. It's...really really good." She frowned and fidgeted.

"Oh." Sirius blinked, utterly confused. "You look awful anxious for someone delivering really really good news."

Orihime sighed and looked up at Sirius. "Well. It's good for me, but I don't think you'll like it very much."

The pureblood raised an eyebrow. "You got another damn cat?"

Orihime nearly laughed with how innocuous a cat would seem when she finally told him. "No. Not another cat."

Sirius thought about it.

His eyes narrowed.

"Two cats?"

Orihime sighed again, and contemplated just telling him that she'd adopted a whole litter of cats rather than telling the truth. That or throwing up into the large purse of the witch two tables over and running away. "...no cats, Sirius."

The heir shrugged amiably. "Then I give up! Happily so. What's happened?"

Orihime attempted to swallow a lump, which had formed in her throat when she wasn't paying attention, and brought her hands to her face. "Sirius. Uryuu...Uryuu and I..."

"Oh, no." Sirius' mouth thinned into a line. "He broke up with you? That tosser, that bastard, when Im through with him he'll have to eat all his meals through a bloody straw-!!"

Orihime flailed. "No! He didn't break up with me!" So maybe this guessing game was even more painful than the truth. She bit her lip and thought for a moment, worrying it so hard that it nearly started to bleed. "...he proposed," she said finally, very quietly.

Bewildered, Sirius blinked. "Proposed what?"

"...he asked me to marry him."

Sirius stared.

"Have you two decided, then?" piped a cheerful waiter, who had materialised at Sirius' side.

Sirius turned to look at him. The ends of the waiter's spiked hair burst into flame.

"Oh," remarked Sirius absently. "Accidental wandless magic. I thought I'd grown out of that."

Orihime attempted to be polite to the waiter. "...could I just get a glass of water for now, please?" She avoided eye contact with Sirius like the plague.

The waiter, who hadnt realised his hair was on fire just yet, trilled a cheerful "Of course!" and made his way towards the kitchen to retrieve it. There was a long, awkward silence, which was only broken by frantic screaming from the kitchen, and the sounds of a plucky young chap getting beaten over the head with cooking implements.

Orihime winced, and stared at her hands, letting the awkward silence drag on.

As the last of the blood curdling screams died away, Sirius shook off his statuesque paralysis. He fumbled desperately in his pocket, withdrawing a battered carton of cigarettes. He shook out five, lighting them all at once. "So," he started, voice a croak. "What did you say?"

Orihime gnawed at her lip a bit more. "...I said yes."

Sirius took a drag on three cigarettes at once.

"Ah."

"...he bought me a ring."

Seastorm eyes darted to her finger. He hadnt noticed. "Ah." He expelled smoke off to the side, which spiraled up in the light.

Orihime covered the ring with her right hand and withdrew her hands into her lap.

"He didnt say anything to me," rasped the pureblood, after another bout of painfully awkward silence.

"...he didn't plan it ahead of time." Orihime fiddled with the ring under the table.

"Of course he didnt. Its not like marriage is a huge step, or anything." He took a fierce drag off 4/5 cigarettes.

Orihime sighed. "We'd both been thinking about it." There was another long, awkward pause. "...we're going to wait."

"I should bloody well think so," snapped Sirius. He looked away. "Marriage? You're not even- he's not-"

The pureblood made a frustrated noise. "Remus and I didnt get handfasted until we were in our bloody thirties."

Orihime fidgeted, still feeling on the verge of throwing up. "You can't compare me and Uryuu to you and Remus, Sirius. The circumstances are very different." She paused for a moment, not sure if this would be helpful or hurtful. "...how old were James and Lily when they got married?"

"Too young," replied Sirius cagily. "They wouldnt have done, if there hadnt been a war on."

Orihime sighed, worrying her lip again. "There's a war on, Sirius."

"Well you saw how a war-torn marriage ended up for them," rasped the heir, with an uncommonly bitter tone. She'd scratched a nerve.

Orihime nodded, frowning. "I know."

Sirius' eyes darted back to hers. "I dont think you do. I dont think you're stupid, Orihime, but I dont think you know at all."

Orihime nodded again, now on the verge of tears, but holding them back as hard as she could. "...okay. I'm sorry."

Sirius took another calming hit of nicotine. He looked uncomfortable, noticing how upset she was getting- but he had to press on. "Are. Are you sure about him?" He'd attempted to make his voice come off neutral, but it came out sounded far too stuffy and pureblooded for his liking.

Orihime took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Of course I am." She met Sirius' eyes. "I love him."

"You're seventeen," amended Sirius. "He's your first boyfriend, isnt he?"

"...yes." She fiddled absentmindedly with the ring.

"So how can you tell what is or isnt without anything to compare it to? Do you really want to only have dated one person your whole bloody life and-" Sirius made an inarticulate gesture with his hands.

Orihime kept her eyes locked with Sirius'. "Yes."

"Why?"

"...because I want to be with him for the rest of my life."

"Your'e seventeen," Sirius repeated.

He continued, blankly. "You dont know what you want."

Orihime broke eye contact. "Why not?"

The older man heaved a sigh. "Because you've barely any experience in- in these types of things. Its like buying a broom without even looking at the others in the shop. You may think the broom's top of the line, but there could be another in the stockroom thats scads better. And less of a prick."

He coughed.

Orihime sighed and shook her head. "I don't want to try any other brooms."

"You dont know any better," insisted Sirius, getting frustrated, and wishing teenagers came with a handbook. "You've never looked round the shop!"

Orihime was starting to get frustrated as well. "I'm not stupid, Sirius. I know you don't like Uryuu, but that doesn't mean..."

"I never said that!" Sirius interrupted.

"...I know....but..."

Sirius said nothing.

Orihime gnawed at her lip. "...I'm not going into this without thinking. I know what a big step this is and I know how old I am."

After a long, long silence, in which Sirius' fierce blue eyes trained on hers, the heir sighed. "Shit. Do you know how much of a bugger planning a wedding is?"

He started ticking things off, already thinking ahead. "We'll have to call the bakery and the catering companies, and make guest lists, and find a ballroom of some kind, and get all the tailoring done, and..."

Orihime's jaw dropped. "...what?"

Sirius blinked. "What? Im not letting you elope in the forest somewhere, like a bloody druid."

It took Orihime a moment to process Sirius' apparent sudden change of heart. "...no...Sirius...I..." the tears that had been threatening to spill over for the past few minutes finally did so.

There were a few kinds of men who knew just what to do when someone started crying. Generally, Sirius Black was not one of them. "Uh. Oh, dear, uh." He fished in his pocket, bringing out a handkerchief that looked like it had last been used by The Plant. He reached across the table, patting her cheek off. "Shh, its okay, uh. Blast, dont cry!"

Orihime jumped out of her seat and in a moment had her arms tightly around Sirius' neck.

"Oof!" went Sirius. After a moment, he smiled slightly, and hugged her back.

Orihime sighed into the hug, extremely relieved for the time being. She knew that Sirius still wasn't okay with the idea of her getting married, but at least now he was at least considering the idea.

After a long moment she realized that she was probably crushing him a bit, and that they were still in public, and she popped back into her own seat. "Sorry!" she said, wiping her eyes with her sleeve.

"Its fine," blustered Sirius, not being able to hide a beaming grin even remotely well. He stamped out the excessive cigarettes he'd lit. An asthmatic behind him wheezed in praise to the lord.

With another sigh, Orihime smiled. "Thank you. I promise it won't be for a very long time, Uryuu wants to wait until he's done with college, and that's over five years away. We'll be twenty-two by then." She took a sip of the water which she hadn't noticed was right in front of her, and she guessed had been put there magically. "And it will only be a very small wedding...I don't want a lot of people there. Just a few close friends. I wonder if Uryuu's father will even come." Orihime realized she was starting to ramble a bit and took a deep breath to stop herself before she got too carried away and started talking about babies or something.

"...Sirius?"

The pureblood looked a bit dazed, but smiled. "Yeah?"

Orihime blushed a bit and said softly, "...would you...would you give me away? I mean...walk me down the aisle..."

Their now bald and scorched waiter had shied timidly up. "Are.. are you ready to order, uh, now?"

Sirius looked at him. The man threw up a multi-coloured flock of doves.

"I'd love to," he grinned.

Orihime grinned back, oblivious to the doves or the waiter, who was currently coughing up orange feathers. "Thank you."

Suddenly, Orihime's stomach rumbled loudly. She giggled.

Sirius chuckled. "Perhaps we should order, then. Waiter, I'll have-"

The waiter cut him off, after choking out a lime green bird. "LIKE HELL YOU WILL!"

Singed and hiccuping feathers, he stalked away.

Oh wow, there are a lot of new people here since the last time I posted! Hello! Um...my name is Inoue Orihime! ^__^ I really would like to meet you all and get to know you, and to reconnect with some of the people I haven't talked to in awhile...I'm sorry I haven't been around!

Uryuu and I had a really tough month, and struggled a bit to make rent. We ended up having to get rid of our internet connection for a little while, so if I did talk to you during that time it was probably from the library at school. ^__^;; I hope that most of you haven't forgotten me, though, I've missed you all a lot.

So...yeah! I'm back! And hopefully Uryuu will be soon too. He's concentrating really hard on his studies right now, and hasn't had time to be on here as much. But we're good. Things are good. Yuurei, our kitten, has gotten really big, and we made new curtains for the bedroom...but that's not very interesting, I guess.

How have all of you been???

My anniversary with Uryuu was WONDERFUL. We went out to dinner at this really nice restaurant and it was amazing, and then we went for a walk in my favorite park and it was beautiful and romantic and I love him so much. One year, my love. Here's to the first of many.

And we had those LJ awards things again! Uryuu and I didn't place for best OTP this time, but that's okay because I know we're the best OTP even if we didn't win anything. ^__^ Shishido and I didn't get best friends again either, but I guess that makes sense.

I did win a couple though! I got second place for Nicest LJer, and second place for Most Popular LJer!!! Thank you to everyone who voted for me! ^__^

This weekend is Shishido's party. I'm excited, because it's supposed to be a really big party, and I've had fun at all the other parties of Shishido's I've been to. And he's my best friend and everything, so I know it will be awesome. Plus he's leaving livejournal really soon, so I don't know if I'll get to see him as much as I do now. I at least know that I won't be able to talk to him as much as I do now, but anyway...

OMG! I just remembered! I went to Shishido's birthday party last year too! But I didn't really know him then and he didn't remember my name! Haha! That's funny. ^__^

Sirius, are we still on for tomorrow?

And there are new people again, right??? Hi! I'm Inoue Orihime!!! It's awesome to meet all of you! And even if you're not new and I haven't talked to you yet...HI! ^__^

The party was a success!!! A whole lot of people came and I know that I, at least, had a great time!!! Except for when those crabs attacked Sirius and Uryuu. That was sort of scary. But the rest was awesome! Thank you so much to everyone who came! I hope you had fun!!!

Today I hung out with Shishido all day! We made forts all over his house. The one under the billiards table wasn't very comfortable and the one in the bathtub was a little cramped, but most of them were awesome! I liked the one in his bedroom the best because his bed is comfy and we made it so the tv could be in there too. ^__^ It was fun.

This Saturday is Uryuu and my one year anniversary. So I guess it's a proper anniversary then, right? I can't believe it's been a whole year. ^__^;; I don't know what we're doing yet, I think Uryuu is planning something. A whole year. ^__^

I'm not going to have my party tonight. Everyone is acting weird and stuff. So...maybe I'll have it next week, if everything is more normal. Or maybe not at all, I dunno. But thanks to those who said they'd come. ♥

Well first of all, welcome to all the new people!!! My name is Inoue Orihime, and I look forward to meeting you all! (I think I probably say the same exact thing every time we get new people. Sorry!!! ^__^;;)

Yesterday was my birthday!!!! Uryuu and made me dinner and a cake and it was adorable, and then we went for a walk and it was perfect. It was simple and relaxing and just the two of us and ended up being the best birthday I've ever had. Thank you, Uryuu. ♥

I've decided that my party will be on Saturday, and if I know you then you're probably invited. Is that okay with everyone? It will be at the beach! We're having a bonfire and everything! ^__^ I'm so excited! I've never had a birthday party before!

Today I hung out with Akazawa-kun and we watched movies and gorged ourselves on movie snacks and leftover birthday cake. ^__^

I feel like I should update this thing more often. I always wait too long, and then I have too many things to say in one entry. ^__^;;

Abarai-kun and I got our tattoos yesterday! It hurt, but it was all right because Sirius and Uryuu were holding my hands, and Abarai-kun was there for moral support, and the dragon looks very good! It's still sore and under a bandage because I just got it yesterday, and I have to remember to put this gooey medicine stuff on it so it doesn't dry out or get infected or anything, but it looks great, and I can't wait until I can show people! ^__^

Tomorrow is my seventeenth birthday!!! Is anything special supposed to happen when you turn seventeen? I know there's sweet sixteen and in some places fifteen is a big deal, and then in America especially, eighteen is a big deal, but what about seventeen? Oh well, it doesn't really matter whether it's special or not, because this year is the first year that I'm having a birthday party! I decided that I'm definitely going to do it, and if I know you, then you're probably invited. If you're not sure, then just ask, and I'll probably say yes. It'll be next weekend, although I'm not sure what day. Comment and let me know whether Friday or Saturday would be better! The party will be on the beach, and we'll have a big bonfire and everything!

And I think that Rukia-chan is back in the living world! Maybe possibly!

Shishido? Akazawa-kun? I need to hang out with both of you (separately?) at some point this week. Just because. ^__^ And Yumichika-kun and Ikkaku-kun...we should go out on a double date. Yumichika-kun said something about that the other day, and I think that it would be really fun. And Abarai-kun, we should do something fun together soon too! And Al-san! Let me know when you've moved in so I can bring you cookies!!! And Rukia-chan...if you're back? Then maybe we could have lunch together or something?

So we're back at school now. I miss summer, but this year should be pretty cool. Yesterday we took a field trip to the Science Mueseum in Tokyo and it was awesome! They had adorable little monkeys there, and you could watch chicks hatch, and we saw a 3-D movie about sharks, and there was an indoor lightning storm, and we got to go to the planetarium and look at stars and stuff and it was AMAZING!!! I want to go back, there were still a bunch of things that I didn't get to see. ^__^;;

Abarai-kun and I are going to get tattoos tomorrow! I'm nervous, but I think it will be really cool! ^__^;; Also! Yumichika-kun and Ikkaku-kun moved into my building! And they live NEXT DOOR! Isn't that crazy!? It's very exciting. We're neighbors! Rukia-chan left, so she's not my neighbor anymore...it would've been cool to have a whole bunch of people I know in this building, but oh well. Al-san, did you look into getting an apartment here too? Or did you find somewhere else to live?

Monday is my seventeenth birthday! I don't know what I'm doing for it yet...maybe Uryuu and I will just go out to dinner. Also...that weekend...not this weekend but the weekend after, I might have a birthday party. I've never had one before, so I don't really know what I'm supposed to do, but I thought it would be fun. I was talking to Akazawa-kun and Shishido about it the other day and we thought that a beach party might be fun. And we could have a bonfire and everything. I think it would be really fun. So...if I had a party, would anyone want to come?

Rating: PG-13

Your characters weren't there, and didn't witness this. Sorry, folks.

---

Ishida ran the hot water and squirted in some lemon dish soap, filling the sink with fluffy suds. He called to Orihime over his shoulder. "Would you rather wash or dry?"

Orihime picked a dry towel out of a drawer. "I washed last time, so I'll dry!" she said, bouncing over to where Ishida stood by the sink.

"All right." Ishida smiled and grabbed a washrag. "There aren't many dishes so it shouldn't take long..." He washed and rinsed the dishes and passed them over to Orihime. She was humming as she worked, and it made him smile. Feeling playful, he dipped his finger into the sink and scooped up a small bunch of suds, which he reached over to wipe onto Orihime's nose.

Orihime giggled and retaliated by hitting him in the tush with the towel she'd been using to dry the dishes.

Ishida didn't bother trying to dodge, instead flicking a stream up water up at Orihime with his fingers.

Orihime reached into the sink and scooped up a handful of suds, laying her hand flat and blowing bubbles into Ishida's face.

Ishida laughed, reaching up to wipe the back of his hand across his forehead to prevent soap dripping down into his eyes. He was satisfied to leave their impromptu battle at that, and removed his glasses to wipe them clean on a dishtowel.

Orihime took the opportunity for a sneak attack and surprised Ishida by dumping a large dollop of soap suds on his head.

"Hey!" Ishida gave an expression of mock shock and responded by splashing soapy water all down Orihime's front, raising his washrag up in front of him as a shield.

Orihime giggled, stealing his washrag and hitting him with it. "I'm all wet!" she announced, grinning.

Ishida ducked in close to her and kissed her before she could retaliate. "Oh? We might have to do something about that."

Orihime kissed him back and lightly tickled his ribs playfully. "And what would you suggest, then?"

Ishida replaced his glasses and turned away to hide the expression on his face. "Oh. A hair dryer, maybe?" he deadpanned.

Orihime tickled harder. "It's not my hair that's wet!"

"Oh." Between the teasing and Orihime's tickling, Ishida was trying hard not to laugh. He turned back to her and nuzzled her neck, hooking his fingers under the hem of her wet shirt and tugging it upwards. "I guess we'll have to get you out of that, then."

Orihime shivered and lifted her arms so he could easily pull her shirt over her head. Once he had tossed the shirt aside she dropped her hands down to his waist. "Now I'm cold."

Wrapping his arms around her, Ishida pressed himself close. "Better?" he asked.

Orihime smiled, nuzzling Ishida's throat. "Much."

Ishida slid one hand down the curve of her bare back. "Truce?"

She nipped at his jaw. "Oh, all right. Truce." She pulled away from him and reached for a dish she'd abandoned, drying it as if doing the dishes in only her bra were an everyday occurrence.

"...Oh." Ishida tried to hide the disappointment in his face as Orihime returned her attention to the dishes. Just as well, though, since they did need to get done at some point. He also went back to the sink and began washing the remaining dishes, trying to ignore the squish of his stockinged feet on the now-wet floor, and trying even harder to avoid being distracted by the sight of a half-naked Orihime in the corner of his eye.

Orihime bumped Ishida's hip with hers as she dried the last dish. "Yay! All done!"

Ishida nodded, pulling the plug to the drain and wiping his hands on a towel. He took a step and winced as his sock made a squishing sound. "I should probably mop up, too."

Orihime giggled. "You made a mess, Uryuu," she said faking reprimand.

"I guess I did." Ishida took the dishtowel from her hands and dropped to his hands and knees, mopping up the spilled water and suds. "Am I forgiven?"

Orihime patted him on the head as he knelt and smiled. "I suppose so."

"You won't make me sleep on the couch tonight then?" He stood and wrung out the wet towel over the sink.

Orihime giggled. "Have I ever made you sleep on the couch?"

Ishida shrugged, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "There's a first time for everything."

Orihime wrapped an arm around his waist. "Then I'll save it for another time. The bed would be cold without you, especially since I've lost my shirt."

His lips quirked into a soft smile. "Well. It's temporarily misplaced, at least." He bent and kissed her forehead.

Orihime smirked. "You don't seem too concerned over that fact."

He ran a hand along her waist, letting it come to rest at the curve of her hip. "I must admit, it doesn't really bother me."

"I should have known," Orihime teased, pulling lightly at his shirt, "that your innocent little water fight was secretly an evil plot to get me out of my clothes."

Ishida pushed up his glasses with the first two fingers of his right hand. "I had no ulterior motives," he said in an even tone. "It just happened to turn out this way. ...Besides, I hope I should hardly have to resort to plots at this point."

"You're right. You don't have to." Orihime tickled him lightly in the ribs again. "But it's fun, ne?"

"Well...yes." He chuckled softly, letting the fingers at her his dip under the elastic waistband of her skirt.

Orihime suddenly remembered a conversation she'd had with Renji earlier in the day. "Uryuu?" she asked, "What would you think if I said I wanted to get a tattoo?" She placed her hand over his on her hip. "Here."

Ishida paused, and blinked slowly. "A tattoo?" At first he thought she was kidding, but she seemed serious. "Oh. ...You really want to get one?" It wasn't that he was against the idea; it just had never occurred to him that she'd want a thing like that.

Orihime nodded, slipping her arms around Ishida's waist. "Yeah. Well...maybe. If you don't mind. I won't if you don't want me to."

"Uh. Oh! Well, if you want one, you should--I mean...I don't mind, really." He tilted his head a bit as he regarded her. "I didn't realize you wanted one. ...What kind of tattoo would you get?"

Orihime shrugged. "I was talking to Abarai-kun about his the other day. They mean a lot to him and represent a lot." She slid her arms up around Ishida's shoulders. "A dragon."

"O-oh." He wondered if she meant what he thought she meant by that. Ishida put his arms around her and hugged Orihime close. "If you'd like one, then you should, especially if it's important. Though. Um. Aren't tattoos kind of expensive? Do you have enough money?" His brow furrowed as he thought. "I have a little left over that I saved for your ring...you can use that if you need it..."

Orihime hugged Ishida back. "Thank you." She rested her head against his chest. "...I forgot about money. I'll figure something out. You don't have to do that." She nuzzled his collarbone. "It will only be a very little dragon."

Ishida shrugged. "You might as well use it. It was meant for a gift for you anyway." He paused, wetting his lips. "Do you know what you want it to look like already?"

"Sort of." She kissed his neck lightly. "Will you help me pick?"

He nodded, smiling. "Of course. ...When were you planning to have it done?"

"Abarai-kun is going to get one later this week, and he invited me to come with him so I can get mine." She squeezed him lightly. "But I had to check with you first."

"I'm glad you asked me. I mean--" Ishida paused, not sure how to phrase his feelings. It just made him feel involved, and that she cared about his input. He sighed, and kissed her temple, hoping she understood.

Orihime smiled. "You're the one who has to look at it."

He chuckled. "But it's your body it's going on."

"It's yours too."

That made him blush a little. "I love you so much, Orihime."

Orihime nuzzled Ishida's jaw. "I love you too."

Ishida inclined his head to kiss Orihime. He lightly brushed fingertips across her hip, where she'd said she would get the tattoo. "Do you want me to come with you to the tattoo parlor?

Orihime shivered lightly at his touch. "Abarai-kun and I were going to go together, but you can come too, if you want to." She brushed her lips teasingly against Ishida's, without applying any pressure.

"Only if you want me to." He bent his head lower to press a kiss to her lips, withdrawing quickly to see what she would do.

Orihime whined involuntarily when he pulled away. "Will you hold my hand?" She pulled Ishida gently down to her by the back of his neck and kissed him softly.

"Of course." Ishida returned her kiss with another of his own, letting it linger as he smoothed one hand down the small of her back, still softly caressing her hip with his other.

Orihime sighed into his kiss, letting her fingers tangle in his hair. "Your socks are wet," she said with a smirk when the kiss broke for a moment.

"...Oh." He'd forgotten about that. Ishida wiggled his toes. His feet felt kind of wrinkly after standing so long in the wet socks. "I should...probably..." He knit his brow, bending one knee to bring his foot up higher, trying to catch the damp sock with one hand.

Orihime giggled. "And you still have soap suds in your hair." She took his hand and tugged, catching him off-balance. "Let's go take a shower."

Ishida faltered at the sudden shift in balance, snapping himself straight to keep himself from tipping over. He hopped on one foot for a moment, finishing his motion of pulling off one sock, and then planted his foot back on the floor as he leaned down to kiss Orihime. "That's a very good idea," he said with a smile.

Orihime kissed him back, walking backwards and tugging him along toward the bathroom. She slid her thumb underneath the waistband of her skirt and let it drop to the floor in a careless pile. "Uryuu, you're wearing too many clothes for the shower," she said playfully.

"I was hoping you'd help me with that," he replied, smiling at her in mock shyness.

Orihime giggled, tugging down the zipper of Ishida's shirt and pushing him into the bathroom with one swift motion, slamming the door behind them.

I keep forgetting to greet new people when we get them! Hello everyone! My name is Orihime, and I'd love to meet all of you! Welcome to Brawl! ^__^

Yuurei is settling in really well. She's too little to jump up on our bed because it's really big, so she keeps mewing at us to pick her up so she can cuddle up with us at night. I don't think she's very fond of being alone. She's so cute.

This weekend I went on a trip with Akazawa, Shishido, and Kirihara, and we were going to go to a concert, but ended up hanging out in a cornfield instead. And I think both Akazawa and Shishido posted about that, so I guess I don't have to! ^__^ I also got to babysit Kaidoh's little brother and sister! His sister is still so little, she's adorable. I love babies.

Today Uryuu and I made a fort on our bed, just for fun, and we've been in here nearly all day. It's pretty epic. We're sitting in it now, and I feel like we're in India in a tent or something. Yuurei likes the fort. She's been curled up in the crook of Uryuu's elbow for the last hour. She's so cute. We love her.

School is starting up soon. I have mixed feelings. I've missed everyone at school, but this has been a great summer. I got to go to the Bermuda Triangle and spend a lot of time with my friends, so I'm not really looking forward to having to be in class all day. Oh well! ^__^

SADO-KUN GOT A JOURNAL!!!! ^__^

Uryuu and I got a kitten from Alphonse Elric-san!!! We've named her Yuurei!!! This is her:

ISN'T SHE ADORABLE!?!?! We love her already. She's very cuddly. ^__^

This weekend we went bowling and played billiards with Saeki, Shishido, Akazawa, and Kirihara. That was really fun, guys, thanks for playing with us, and we should do something like that again sometime.

Things are really good right now. ^__^

I just realized that I haven't updated in forever and that there are a whole bunch of new people that have joined since the last time I posted. So hi! My name is Inoue Orihime! I look forward to meeting you all! I hope we can be friends! ^__^

Things have been sort of scrambled and busy for me recently, but this weekend was a nice break, I guess. Uryuu and I went to the movies, and I got to hang out with Shishido and see his brainwashed shark that thinks it's Sirius. I even swam with him, and he only tried to eat me once!

Since it's summer, we don't have school, so I've been working a lot more than usual. It's good because I'm making more money that Uryuu and I can save for something good, but I'm sort of exhausted.

Anyway, yeah, I just thought I'd update since it'd been awhile. Have a good day, everyone. ♥
