Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach...

The story doesn't start until the next chapter. This is just to tell you what Seiko Kumori's whole character is like, as opposed to Orihime Inoue in the anime/manga. Please read it before you continue.

I'm sorry if the description is a little sloppy, but I did the best I could!

What if Orihime was not a shy, timid redhead with big navy irisis and a soft voice, in love with Ichigo Kurosaki, but Seiko Kumori, a somewhat bold, caring blonde with striking green eyes...who impossibly falls for someone she should never, ever have feelings for; a being with whom the laws of the nature of good and evil, human, soul reapers, and hollows, could never accept?

Seiko is smart, pretty high school girl, with straight bleach blonde hair, silvery grey eyes, pale ivory skin and a slender figure. All the guys think she is angel-like.

Tatsuke Arisawa is Seiko's best friend. She slowly became close friends with Uryu, Yasutora, Ichigo, and sort of Rukia, when Ichigo's life changed when Rukia showed up and he became a soul reaper, which affected everyone around him.

Ichigo always distantly frustrates Seiko by the way he acts, never saying anything about himself and frowning all the time, like he hates the world. And she feels bad whenever he comes to save her from danger. She hates being saved and protected, but sometimes no matter how hard she trains, there are those who are just too strong for her. She is determined to do everything she ever can to fight for, and protect, when needed, her friends and even those around her.

Seiko often goes off solitary on her own when she is too distracted or wants to be in silence to study. Usually she has a neutral expression on her face, not frowning but not grinning either. She lets her mind wander in classes all the time. Yet she somehow made it in the top 15 of the grade, more than once. The teacher sometimes calls on her for not paying attention and when she does not answer questions right, she'll have to do chores or some other light punishment in between classes, during lunch, or after school. She always wears her uniform shirt untucked, and never wears the red bow with it, as well as leaving one button on the top of her shirt stylishly undone. Her hairclips containing her powers..are shiny, silver asterisks.

Seiko has exceptional reasoning skills, like Uryu, and always uses logic to explain why something happened, though usually Ishida beats her to it, sometimes she is the one to reach the conclusion/solution quicker. Seiko loves tricking someone into giving away something that they refused to talk about.

Seiko love poetry- her writing style mysterious and sometimes dark, and always astonished her classmates with her deep, [striking] amazing talent. She is very good at illustrating the words into a beautiful masterpeice, her drawing style the same as her writing. She often gets into trouble for drawing or writing in class, not paying attention to what the teacher is saying.

On the outside, Seiko may appear innocent and normal, but when she is irritated, she contradicts that persona completely. When she is mad, or even determined, she is someone to fear. And the differences between what is right and wrong are blurry to her, but she constantly does her best to do what is right. She she will be extremely hard working and persevering, and optimistic.

"Seiko" means truth, or force. "Kumori" means cloudy, or shadow.
