Orihime Inoue- Because of You
I'm... happy, I guess.
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You and Rukia look good together. You know how opposites attract, right? Well, that old saying just doesn't apply to you two. You're both loud, yet you love and wish to protect those around you. You're both really stubborn, and almost always hate hearing the truth. You also... despise the rain. You've always hated the rain, Kurosaki-kun. Every time it rains at school, I see you shiver, and your eyes get cold and uncaring.
Kuchiki-san told me she hated the rain.
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
"But why, Kuchiki? It's so much fun! The puddles, the getting wet, the rainbows after! Why would you hate something as wondrous as the rain?"
"It reminds me... of something terrible, is all. A nightmare." She was staring at nothing. I looked at her with confused eyes. "What kind of nightmare?" She sighed, and stood straight, stiff. "A bad one. The one were you can feel. Feel, and never scream."
The rain fell harder.
"I see."
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Bu t, in a weird way, you guys are opposites. Polar opposites, in fact. You're day. The sun. The... black sun. You're hot and demanding, but you like keeping people in the dark. You, with your fiery orange hair and mellow, yet passionate amber pools. Rukia is the moon. Forever bright, the very symbol of purity and serene grace, with porcelain skin, and hair as dark as black, midnight velvet.
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I'm the rain, aren't I? The rain you despise so much, it makes your eyes burn with a heart-wrenching, undying hatred. Sometimes I wonder... if we could go back. To the winter war. What if Rukia died, and I survived? Would you mourn? Of course you would. But would you move on?
What if we both died? Who would you miss more? Myself, or her? Kuchiki Rukia? The light of your life. You said it yourself... she... she stopped the rain... in your soul.
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I cried yesterday. Rukia was the one who found me.
"Inoue? What's wrong?"
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
"I-is it so much to ask?"
I was in hysterics. I barely knew what I was thinking.
"Why can't someone... just one person, tell me the truth? Tell me that I'm in-over-my head, or a Cinderella that doesn't deserve a 'happily ever after'. J-just tell me!" I wasn't shouting or anything. I was just... crying. Hard.
Rukia put her arm around my shaking shoulders, and grabbed my quivering hands. "You deserve a happy ending... everyone does."
We were speaking in metaphors.
For what though, I have no idea.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
She's pretty.
She's got good grades.
She's kind and polite.
She's athletic.
And she's everything you need. She's all you have. I see it when you look at her, with those eyes.
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
When she leaves, you have this look in your eyes... like the time she was taken away. For execution. You don't have that blazing fire. It's sad, almost pathetic. It's like you've lost the will to live, and want to die, to leave us, so you can go to Soul Society. Just so there would be nothing separating you two.
When she comes back, you hit her and ask her, 'What the hell took her so long'. You're eyes tell all, though. And I know she sees it. She has the same look. That look of worry, of relief. You looked like she had just been dangling over a bridge, over shark-infested waters, and then, in the blink of an eye, she was before you, safe and sound.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
I hate it. I'm jealous.
But... because of you, Kurosaki, I'm happy. I'm safe, now, knowing you'll forever be happy, with her by your side.
Because of you, I learned that I can't break down like some sniveling, whiny little baby. I have to stay strong, and hope. Wish. And fight. Fight for what I love. And I love you, but now, I realize, it's nothing more than a sibling like love. You've been nothing more than an older brother, and for that, I'm grateful.
Because of you.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
A/N: That was depressing.
I don't really hate Orihime, but I'm not exactly a fan of her either. She's not my fave character, but she's okay. I don't bash her every chance I get, either. I really like RukiHime friendship, really.
