14Orihime Inoue has just moved into a house. It was lovely, big and the environment was excited for her. She sat on the floor and had her first meal which she was determined to do.
"Hey Tatsuki, I'm gonna grill today and I need you to come over. Huh? Saturday is too long and I can't wait. Just bring yourself over." Orihime said as she hung up the phone.
On the same day she decided to throw a small party with some of her friends. She invited Tatsuki, Ichigo, Uryu, Chad, Keigo and Mizuiro. Orihime made grilled chicken and of course she'd mix the foods and drinks but for some reason it tasted good. After the party her friends left and she went inside, feeling welcomed to the new neighborhood. She was happy.
The next night, Orihime came home from work and took an extra 10 minutes in the steam. It was a monster cold she was dealing with. She came out in her panties and bra and she looked outside, remembering her time at high school with her friends. She smiled a little and then walked up closer to the glass. She wasn't concern because her backyard was private and she saw a man running to her window.
"Ah!" A man appeared infront of the window and she started screaming. She took the curtain and covered herself and the man wasn't leaving so she ran and picked up her car keys forgetting that she left her cell in her car. She ran outside and locked her car door and drived off and called the police.
A few minutes after the police came and questioned her.
"This isn't enough evidence mam I'm going. Excuse me please." One of the officers said as they walked out of the house.
"He's right, you have wasted our time." The other police left.
Orihime felt so useless and stupid for using their time she didn't want to tell anyone else.
"Sorry for wasting your time Officer Iba!" She yelled as the vehicle drove off.
The next day Orihime showed up at her job looking restless. She boss looked at her in concern seeing that there was something wrong with Orihime and she confronted her.
"Orihime, what's wrong?" She said.
"Aha n-nothing." Orihime stuttered.
"Are you sure? You don't look like yourself."
"I.." Orihime sighed. "Last night some guy showed up at my porch looking through the window...Well he was actually recording me."
"Did you call the police?"
"Yes but...when they arrived, he left."
"Why don't you stay with us?" The boss said.
"I'll be alright." Orihime did not want to bother her boss or their relatives.
"If there's ever anything then I'll be here." The boss hugged her.
"Thank you so much I appreciate it." Orihime smiled and left.
At Midnight.
Orihime woke up sensing something outside and looked out her window. She was uncertain still but had a suspicion that it might be the stalker. She gently lifted the blinds and looked and jumped as she saw the man recording. She jumped back in her bed crying, pretending not to move. She could hear his hands touching around the window. She was powerless there. Once she knew he was gone she didn't call the police and went to sleep. She did not want to disturb them. Knowing that you don't have one moment in privacy is not just unsettling but no sense in security.
Week 2 Since First Stalker Encountor
Orihime set up security systems around her house. There were motion sensers around the windows and she did everything to protect herself.
"Orihime how's it going?" Her neighbor walked up to her.
"It's going good." She replied with a smile.
"If you need anything then I'll be across the road." He said but she stopped him as he started walking away.
"Um..hey. There is this thing that's bothering me and I would like to know if you can help me." She stated.
"Yeah? What's bothering you?" He said.
"There is this guy that's always hanging around my porch and looking through my window."
"Now that you mention it, I've seen this guy on your porch most of the time. I thought that you knew him or he worked for you or something."
"I have seen him, but I don't know him at all." Orihime nervously laughed. "Oh can you give me your number? You can put it in here." Orihime gave him her phone.
"Here you go. I'll see you around." Her neighbor said as he left.
She felt a nerve because she did not know what this stalker wanted from her. Orihime's phone rang.
"Hey Tatsuki. I think someone's stalking me. No-. He records me. Oh?" Orihime began to talk as the stalker stood at her door. By the time she finished the man left and Orihime saw him and called the police.
"He was right there. He's taking pleasure in recording me." Orihime said.
"Are you sure?" The female police officer said.
"I can't get any sleep in my own home, I'm a prisioner now." Orihime said in fear.
"Nice try." The officer said a she left.
Week 5 Since First Stalker Encountor
While going to work, Orihime saw her plants dying. It looked as though a car rolled over them. She sighed and walked to work. It broke her heart seeing something you worked hard for being destroyed.
After work Orihime invited her best friend Tatsuki to keep her company because she was feeling a bit lonely in her house. When Tatsuki arrived Orihime saw the guy watching her and rushed Tatsuki into her home and locked the door. They both sat on the couch and started talking.
"How's work?" Orihime started the conversation.
"It's good, I finally got to kick some ass today." They both laughed.
"Oh. Don't hurt them too bad aha."
"So what's up with your admirer?" Tatsuki sneered.
"Admirer? Which?." Orihime blushed.
"Are you sure? He seems very interested in you." Tatsuki laughed. "What's up Orihime?"
"Do you want to meet him?" Orihime's mood changed.
"Huh?"
"He's here" Orihime walked up to the curtain and draw it open.
He was there.
"Oh Shit! Fuck this shit I'm out!" Tatsuki said as she ran out of the house.
"Tatsuki!" Orihime yelled as she watched her friend go and she locked the door.
She felt like an asshole for scaring her friend off. It was like the stalker was a part of her life now...
Week 8 After Since Stalker Encountor
Orihime was very tired and stressed from her work and the lack of sleep. She is a very heavy sleeper. She had a dream with the guy standing over recording between her legs and woke up. Then she saw him sleeping next to her. She woke herself up several times imagining him standing outside of her room door.
Week 12 Since First Stalker Encountor
As Orihime walked into her house, her neighbor saw the stalker wandering around Orihime's porch and decided to call Orihime. Orihime was in her bathroom brushing her teeth and missed the phone calls and her neighbor got worried. The neighbor ran outside to find out who the guy is and saw a blue van driving towards his way and he looked carefully for the driver and dodged the crash.
"Hello police a vehicle tried to crash me it was blue." He said on his phone. "The guy tried to kill me okay. Can't you just?- Okay I will come down to the station and make a report."
The next night Orihime went to a bar to forget about her worries. Two men confronted her.
"Hey Orihime?" One of them called to her.
"Huh? Who are you?" She replied, dizzy.
"I'm Shuhei and this is Izuru, I heard that you had problems about a stalker." The guy answered.
"Who? How do you know me?" She laughed.
"Well Rangiku did." Shuhei said.
"The plan we concluded with is to watch your house when you are at home and catch the stalker when he attacks." Izuru said.
"Oh that sounds like a great idea, here's my number." Orihime smiled and gave them her number.
The following day while coming home from work she received a phone call. Izuru and Shuhei's boss wouldn't allow them to go out with their plan. Orihime was so disappointed in this matter because she put all her faith that it would work.
Orihime went for a glass of water and screamed when she turned to the window.
"I'm coming in here for you! Open the damn door!" The guy shouted and knocked the window.
Orihime screamed and called the police and they came. She couldn't believe that he was gone when he left before they arrived.
"So thats it?" She asked the police.
"Yes." He replied.
"I hope you find me alive." She said as they left. The last thing she knew is that she couldn't put anyone in danger.
At night every horror movie she imagined was running through her head. The person she could tell was the chief of the police she sent him an email about what has been happening to her.
A couple of days later she came home and was completely shocked that a technical unit between 7am-3am unit was assigned to her and that she was taken seriously. She didn't see the stalker for 2 weeks because the police was there. She was feeling frustrated that he might not appear while they were there.
Five Months Since First Stalker Encountor
Orihime arrived home from work seeing a man looking through her window. She was waiting for the police to appear and the man began to walk away. She followed him to see where he goes.
"I want you to stop looking through my windows." Orihime said.
"What are you talking about?" He said as he walked away.
Orihime quickly walked behind him and he turned. "I've seen you through many times through my windows."
She pulled out her phone and hit the power button. "Hey what are you doing?!" He shouted as Orihime jumped into his van.
"Why can't I stop you from harassing me?" She said as he went into his van and started to drive.
A few hours have gone and he was still driving the car.
"Stop!" Orihime shouted and she didn't get any answer. "Help! Someone help me!"
He stopped the car and she came out. He opened the door and began to fight Orihime for her phone.
"Bitch!" He pushed her on the ground and she hit her head on the pavement and passed out.
Orihime woke up on a bed with an ice bag over her head. She looked around and noticed that she wasn't in her house. Instantly she thought that she got raped and kidnapped by the stalker but she saw an orange haired guy approached her.
"Orihime? Are you feeling better?" He asked.
"..." She looked away.
"I'm guessing that's a no?" He questioned her.
"W-who are you? Did you rape me?" She spat.
"What the fuck? I would never...I saw you laying on the road last night so I picked you up and carried you here." He said.
"Oh hrm...thank you."
"It's Ichigo."
"Ichigo?." She looked away once more.
"Is something wrong?" He looked at her in concern.
"I'm being stalked by some guy...He he wants to rape me." Orihime began to cry silently.
"That's sick. Are you going to be alright?" He asked as he hugged her. He could tell that she was scared.
"I'm not sure. The last thing I remembered was being in his van then he was fighting me. He might have r...ra-"
"No. Then I came and gave him a beating and brought you here." Ichigo said. "There is no way I'd let him do that to you."
"I...Ichigo..." Orihime let her tears fall.
Ichigo hugged her. "Everything's gonna be alright. I'm here to make sure nothing happens to you."
"I don't know if I can go back home...It's just me living in this big house alone...I think that's the reason why he's after me but...but...I don't know...I...I'm just scared when I'm alone..." Orihime said.
"Orihime..." Ichigo was surprised.
"It's true. Sometimes the littlest things can scare me when I-" Orihime's mouth was captured which led her into shock.
Ichigo kissed her. After all these years at school and her feelings for him...He finally kissed her. Orihime didn't let the chance passed her so she kissed him back which he also was surprised. They finally pulled apart and looked in each other's eyes.
"Ichigo..."
"You won't be scared if we live together." He blushed.
"Oh-I..." She looked away.
"Hm?"
"It's nothing. I'm just happy after all these days." She smiled.
