Orihime's Encounter

Prologue
Meanwhile, Orihime arrives at Sado's home and remarks that Ichigo and Sado still have not returned to school. Noting that the bread she had previous left is gone, she concludes that Sado does come home occasionally. Orihime is challenged by Shishigawara, who requests that she die there.

Meanwhile, Shigawara thinks back on how he got the job of killing Orihime Inoue. It is revealed that the man who attacked Uryū Ishida ordered Shigawara to defeat Orihime which he gives him a photo of her, Shigawara says that this one’s a chick while looking at the photo to which the man asks him if he can’t attack girls. Shigawara is somewhat surprised saying that what the man said is not true. He thinks to himself that he will prove himself useful, that he will kill this chick and prove himself useful to Tsukishima. He introduces himself to Orihime and asks her if she minds dying. He thinks to himself that in fights, being preemptive is key, and once Orihime turns around, he will slam her with a big one as his introduction. He jumps up into the air screaming about to attack Orihime, but when she is turned around and facing him, he flings himself back when he sees how beautiful she is. He tries to get back up to fight her, but is flung back by himself again, he lays on the floor apologizing to Tsukishima in his mind saying that this is as far as he can go. He then changes his thoughts and is determined to defeat her for Tsukishima. He gets back up and faces her slightly. While blushing, asks if she is ready and saying that he is going to kill her, just like he did with that four-eyes. Orihime starts to get angry and asks if he was the one who attacked Uryū. He notices that her aura’s changed and he could fight her like this, Orihime demands an answer from him, but he simply says that that fact he just mention it is enough proof, to which Orihime agrees to. She asks Shigawara where he is from but he tells her that she has to force it out of him. A voice interrupts Shigawara and Orihime telling Shigawara that it is enough. A man appears behind Orihime and tells her that the one who attacked Uryū was him Shigawara is shocked to see the man and reveals him as Tsukishima.

At Sado's home, Tsukishima introduces himself to Orihime. Shishigawara interrupts, insisting that he will deal with Orihime. However, Tsukishima tells him not to do anything and converts the placeholder in his book into a sword, threatening him. Orihime asks Tsukishima if it is a Zanpakutō, which he denies. He reveals that it is his Fullbring, "Book of The End". He tells Orihime to relax, because he is not planning to do anything to her yet. Instead he will leave after punishing Shigawara for not listening to what he says. Orihime places herself between them, prompting Tsukishima to remark that she is just as kind as he had heard. He asks her if she cannot bear to see even an enemy hurt in front of her, but she tells him that if he was the one who attacked Uryū, then she cannot let him get away.

Sado and Ichigo walk to Sado's home and he tells Ichigo that Orihime has been bringing him leftover bread everyday lately. Ichigo tells Sado that she is worried about him and that he should call her. Sado tells Ichigo that she leaves him too much and that he will give half of it to Ichigo. But when Sado arrives at his door and reaches for the bread, he notices something is wrong with her reiatsu and shouts at Ichigo that something happened to her.

As Ichigo and Sado rush towards Orihime's reiatsu, Sado stops Ichigo from calling her, fearing from her very tense reiatsu that the distraction of her phone ringing could result in her death. Sado tells Ichigo that he can only discern the direction of her reiatsu, but Ichigo realizes that her apartment is that way.

Tsukishima chastises Orihime for her comment about not letting him leave. Moe tries to impress upon her how dangerous Tsukishima is, but she silences him. Orihime contemplates the situation and what action she should take, but Tsukishima turns away. She tells him to wait and begins to activate Santen Kesshun, but he appears behind her and slashes her with his Fullbring, cutting through her shoulder and deep into her chest.

Ichigo and Sado arrive to find a confused and uninjured Orihime alone. They ask what happened, but she claims that she has a stomach ache after her friend left. She wonders to herself why she called him a friend and decides that she will text Sado later about the situation so that she does not alarm Ichigo. Sado notes that she thinks Ichigo is still powerless and decides to ring her later. He tries to reassure Ichigo, but keeps him in the dark about his thoughts on the matter.
