Two weeks later

"How's your arm feel?" Orihime asked Tatsuki as they left the doctors.

"It's alright." Tatsuki said knocking on the cast.

"And your leg?"

"Much better." Tatsuki smiled.

Tatsuki's injuries were almost healed completely. She was shot three times, once in the arm, which broke it, once in the stomach, which caused the internal bleeding, and once in the leg, where she had stitches.

Ichigo is still bruised up but Chad and Uryu are completely fine! The bullets only grazed Chad and Uryu suffered a black eye.

Orihime grabbed Tatsuki's hand, "Don't…" she sighed, realzing what she wanted to say isn't what Tatsuki wanted to hear.

"No, tell me." Tatsuki reassured her.

"Don't scare me like that." Orihime muttered.

"I love you too." Tatsuki smirked.

The house actually turned out to be caught up in Keigo's father, Mr. Asanso's, drug ring. His house was used to manufacture drugs after he was killed in his own bedroom and Keigo was chased out. Luckily, three bodies, including Mr. Asano's, and the leader of the thugs were drug out. The leader, of course, is now in prison.

"Are we still going?" Orihime asked after a while of walking in silence.

"Going… places? Yeah, of course we are. Do you really think some stitches and a cast would stop me?" Tatsuki smiled.

Orihime squeezed her girlfriend's hand, "No."

Ichigo gained a lot from this whole experience. He wasn't the same after that night. Rukia, impressed by Ichigo's new found respect for her, decided to stick it out with him.

"So… where?" Orihime asked.

"We have a friend to meet." Tatsuki smiled as they passed by Keigo's old house, burned down to the ground. Keigo turned out to be a missing person, but nobody really cared for him in this town. Of course, he wasn't really missing. Tatsuki remembered the bus tickets in her back pocket.

"So get ready." she said breaking her own concentration. "The bus leaves in an hour." She said then kissed the top of Orihime's head.
