Chapter 1: Finding ones Resolve

It was 2 days after the Arrancar attack on Karakura town; Orihime Inoue was walking down the sidewalk on her way to school. However she was not at all happy because she felt guilty for not being able to defend herself from that crazy Arrancar Yammy. If there was one thing she wanted to know it was 'why is it that I just can't protect myself like Ichigo?' she thought. Orihime had seen Ichigo in action and knew how strong he had become.

While in school her best friend Tatsuki asked why she was feeling so down.

"You look sad Orihime, is something bothering you?'' she asked

"Oh nothing Tatsuki I just feel like I'm really weak and bothersome to everyone.'' replied Orihime.

''Why do you think that?'' asked Tatsuki.

''Because you know karate and how to fight , and Ichigo is strong and willing to protect those dearest to him, but I just feel as if I just can't show that same kind of courage '' sighed Orihime.

Tatsuki responded "Remember Orihime, the courage of one's heart depends upon their cunning . You have some areas where you are very helpful but remember don't be afraid to tell your friends how you feel.''

''Thanks for the advice Tatsuki I appreciate that.'' Orihime smiled

''Anytime Orihime.'' Tatsuki grinned.

As class started Orihime was thinking about Tatsuki's advice '' Don't be afraid to tell your friends how you feel.'' Then Orihime made a decision ''Maybe if I speak to Ichigo about this he can give me good helpful advice.'' Orihime thought. So she decided to speak to Ichigo about her problems after school.

That afternoon she spoke with Ichigo about her situation ''Kurosaki-kun, how is it that you always manage to remain strong enough to stop anything in your way?'' she asked.

Ichigo responded '' Believe me Inoue, sometimes I'm not even sure how I manage to do that but one important thing is that if you need to be strong then one must find their resolve."

''What do you mean by resolve?'' Orihime asked

''What I mean is finding the will not to give up and to keep fighting to the end, my mother was killed by a hollow when I was a kid, since then I have sworn to protect what is most important to me and part of that is finding my resolve.'' Ichigo said

Orihime was silent for a moment, 'Resolve, the will to never give up' she thought.

''Inoue, are you okay?'' Ichigo then asked

She replied ''Yeah Kurosaki-kun, just curious.''

"Well okay see you later." Ichigo sighed

"Good night Kurosaki-kun." she said.

That night Orihime lay in bed pondering her conversation with Ichigo. She recalled a lot of times when Ichigo had said ''I won't give up!'' She kept turning those words in her head '' Resolve, never give up'' after a while a look of determination spread across her face 'Ichigo is right if I am to have any chance of staying by his side I must become stronger' she thought. Then she decided that she would try to find her own resolve and become stronger like Ichigo. "I will become stronger like you Ichigo and be the person I was meant to be. I will find my resolve." she vowed.

The next day after making her decision Orihime was walking down the street when she bumped into Yoruichi, "Yoruichi-san!" she said surprised.

"There you are Inoue I've been looking for you." said Yoruichi.

"For me?" asked Orihime.

"Yes." Replied Yoruichi," Kisuke wants you in his underground training area." Orihime followed Yoruichi to Urahara's place and once there after he explained Aizen's plan to destroy the soul King, Orihime decided she wanted to become stronger. But Kisuke replied "Inoue-san I can't allow to participate in combat because without Tsubaki you can't really do much, can you?"

Orihime replied sadly "I have not been able to heal Tsubaki yet."

Then Kisuke said "Without Tsubaki you can't be much help in a fight." Despite some truth in what she was hearing Yoruichi started to feel annoyed about this prejudice she heard. Chad began to protest, but Urahara interjected "Think about it Squad 4 members will be on the front lines plus they are trained in combat. Besides a warrior whose lost their power would only be a liability in a fight." Before Chad could say anything Orihime said it was okay and left.

Then Renji spoke up and said "Leaving her out was the right decision besides her powers are not suitable for combat anyway." Suddenly Yoruichi stepped forward with a serious look of disgust on her face and replied "Silence Renji!"

Kisuke spun around and said "Something wrong Yoruichi?" Yoruichi replied angrily.

"YES Kisuke, I don't know how to say how disappointed I am in you and how rude you just were to one of Ichigo's best friends but you have just made a serious mistake Kisuke!"

Urahara asked "Such as what?"

"By turning Inoue down!" snapped Yoruichi.

Then Urahara said "I told you that her powers are too weak to be of any use to us."

Yoruichi didn't see it that way and responded "Be that as it may, who are we to keep her out of this Kisuke? We have no right to keep her out of this situation, this concerns her as well, so we can't just cast her aside, we have to help her!"

Realizing she was right Urahara said "Well then who can we trust to undertake this task of training her?"

Yoruichi smiled "Leave that to me."

Kisuke sighed "Be my guest"

Yoruichi snickered "When I'm done with her she'll be stronger than you can imagine." After that Yoruichi left to find Orihime, after 10 minutes of searching she spotted her and shouted "Inoue wait please!"

Orihime looked and saw Yoruichi coming towards her then replied "Is something wrong Yoruichi-san?"

The Shihouin heiress smiled "No, I have good news Inoue, the others believed you were too weak to help us, But I don't believe that, in fact I see great potential in you to become very powerful! So I'm going to take you to the soul society for combat training." Orihime smiled and hugged Yoruichi with tears of joy and renewed courage. Then Yoruichi said "Pack your stuff we need to go." After Orihime was done packing, she is taken to the Visoreds, where Tsubaki is healed by Hachi. Yoruichi then took Orihime to soul society. They run into Rukia. After expressing their concerns to her about Orihime's current state and desire to gain strength, Rukia agrees to assist them as well. The women went straight to were Ichigo trained for bankai, once there Yoruichi said "This is where Ichigo trained to achieve Bankai, and tomorrow it's were you'll train to become stronger Inoue."

Orihime replied solemnly "I'm ready!"

After 4 weeks of relentless training, finally Yoruichi said "You have gotten very strong Inoue, I have no doubt that you are ready to fight."

Rukia praised Orihime's progress also, "Wow Inoue, I have to admit it myself, you are far stronger then I think anyone could have imagined before."

"Thanks for your help Yoruichi, Rukia, it means a lot to Me." smiled Orihime.

After her training with them, Orihime received word that Karakura town was under attack by the Espada and decided it was time to return home. Yoruichi told Rukia to help Orihime back, while she went on ahead. Rukia hired two soul reapers to escort Orihime back to the world of the living. After opening the gate Rukia was the first to leave Soul Society, then Orihime started running through the gate with her escorts, but half-way through the gate they were ambushed. Ulquiorra cuts down one of her escorts only to have Orihime immediately prepare to heal him and advise the other one to run away; however he is cut down as well, forcing her to extend the healing shield to both of them. As Orihime exhibits some of her improved abilities, Ulquiorra is amazed, but demands that she come with him.

"Come with me, Onna." He said, and as she was about to give her angered response, he interceded, "Silence, 'Yes', will be the next words you speak. Saying anything else, will mean death. Not for you, but for your friends." Showing her images of her friends getting injured, he states that she will agree or he will kill them. "I think you understand, Onna. We are not negotiating, this is an order."

Orihime thinks to herself, 'What can I do? If I try to take him on with my new training, will I be enough to defeat him? What about my friends, if I can't beat him here and now, they will all die.' Gathering all her courage, she comes to only one conclusion. Ulquiorra seeing her compliance gives her a bracelet that will cover her in a Spiritual Membrane, preventing anyone but an Arrancar from sensing her Reiatsu while still in the World of the Living.

"I'll give you 12 hours. Don't forget, in that time, to say good-bye to the one you want to protect the most." He said to her as he starts to walk away. "However, if that person realizes what you are doing, then you will have disobeyed my orders." He disappears from her sight, but his disembodied voice still rung in the air. "We will meet again at Midnight. So finish up whatever business you have. Don't forget; meet me at the designated area." Orihime finds herself alone in the dangai.

Meanwhile in Karakura town Ichigo and the others managed to drive off the Espada partly because Ulquiorra said their mission was complete. Badly injured in the battle Ichigo collapses, and is taken home to recover. Outside his window a lone figure appears. Orihime glides her ghost-like form through the wall to Ichigo's room. The first time she has ever been confident enough to express her true feelings for him and he's unconscious. She starts to lean over to place a gentle kiss to his lips, but she stops herself. She says if she had 5 lives she would choose to love him in every one of them. She pulls away, "This is the last-time I will see you," she says as she leaves his room. "Thank you, Kurosaki-kun. Sayonara." She then went with Ulquiorra. 'Just wait for the right moment, this is for my friends, this is to keep them safe. I will not allow them to be hurt. I'll find a way to escape this torment,' she thought to herself as she is lead away to Hueco Mundo.

Upon waking up the next morning, Ichigo notices his hand is fully healed, and recognizes the reiatsu as Orihime's. Toushirou enters Ichigo's room and brings him to Orihime's home for a meeting with the other Shinigami. When he is told that she may have been murdered by Arrancar, Ichigo burst out in anger. "Don't give me this bullshit! Look at my hand, yesterday it was severely injured, when I woke up this morning, it was completely healed! And here at my wrist, there are still traces of her reiatsu! So don't tell me she's dead!" After hearing this information Yamamoto Sou-Taichou enters the meeting. Because she had time to heal Ichigo before departing, Sou-Taichou assumes that she is a traitor who left of her own volition, and refuses any attempts to rescue her. To keep the current advanced team from going to Hueco Mundo he has ordered all of them back to Soul Society. Enter Byakuya and Zaraki, to fulfil that order.

"I get it. Fine, just tell me how to get there. Inoue is our friend, and we will save her without the help of Soul Society." Ichigo said.

"NO!" came the response from the old man. "You are to remain in Karakura town until further notice Kurosaki Ichigo. I will not allow you to risk your own life for something so futile!" He shouted. Afterward the screen went black and all contact was lost.

Two days later Ichigo feeling depressed and angry decided to take action and try to rescue Orihime, after learning what happened Uryū & Chad agreed to help Ichigo, then with help from Kisuke, all 3 friends made their way into Hueco Munedo to rescue Orihime.
