Stepping back into her house Orihime let out a happy sigh, taking in a deep breath of the smell of home. On her shoulder lie Naruto or Kutsuu as his false name said, he seemed to be keenly investigating the entrance for something suspicious, Kutsuu or Naruto he was still supposedly spying.
Tsubaki along with the other Shunshunrika were back in pin forms, the only way Orihime could concieve to stop Tsubaki from injuring her newest friend. Stopping by the side of her door Orihime slid of her shoes, and stepped out further into her home.
Turning around a corner Orihime entered her living room, a large room with a small table in the center with small sittle pillows for sitting surrounding it. Against a wall was a large shelf that seemed to hold various things ranging from awards to decorations. What Naruto focused on was something which lie opposite of the shelf, also against the wall was what appeared to be a shrine. On top of the shrine was a picture of a young man, he had to be no more than twenty and wore a hairstyle that reminded Naruto of his friend Sasuke in a way.
Orihime noticed the tiny ninja staring and quickly explained, "My late brother Sora."
Frowning and showing signs of clear guilt Naruto lowered his head, feeling bad for snooping his way into such a topic. "I'm sorry.."
The gigantic girl seemed not to mind, instead she smiled a sort of nostalgic smile. "It's okay. He's at peace now thanks to Ichigo."
Naruto's curiousity got the best of him, "Thanks to Ichigo?" The name sounded familiar, it took a moment for Naruto to realize Ichigo was one of the people he was supposed to spy on.
Pausing for the briefest of moments Orihime nodded once, taking care not to knock over her fan. "Yeah, you know what he does Kutsuu. The only reason I can do what I do is thanks to him."
Nearly freezing up Naruto shot a quick victory pose out of Orihime's line of sight, this was the kind of information he wanted! "Oh yeah....I don't know too many of the details though." Naruto couldn't help but smile, he was on a roll here! If he could manage the facade long enough he would find out all he needed.
Turning her head Orihime looked at Naruto with a sort of understanding. "Well I can't really explain it too well, but as a fan of mine you know the basic story right?"
Naruto felt his eyes droop, Orihime was seriously buying the fan idea, either he's a better liar than he thought or Orihime needed some help. "Uh....yeah....but can you explain it anyway? I wanna make sure I have it right."
"Like I said I'm not too good at explaining things." Orihime turned silent for a moment, "But I think Rukia could explain it well. Plus you're a fan of her too! It's a win-win!" The shrunken ninja opened his mouth to speak to was quickly drowned out by the sounds of a cell phone. Without even waiting for a response Orihime somehow pulled out a phone and started dialing a number.
Placing the device by her ear almost immediately Orihime started talking. "Rukia! Come over to my place! You'll never believe it!" Rukia's response was unintelligible from Naruto's perspective but she seemed to be complaining and asking confused questions, but as she did with Naruto Orihime seemed to ignore her and hang up.
Stepping back into her entry hall Orihime leaned against a wall with Naruto still at her shoulder. "And now we wait!" And that's all they did, Orihime like a child was waiting intently by the door for her friend to arrive. Any attempts by Naruto to speak didn't even register in her mind.
So the next ten minutes or so were dull but eventually a knock came at the door. Damn near leaping to it Orihime opened her door "Welcome!"
