lies and betrayals

Tatsuki has been competing professionally for years now. Anger is the death of style. You fight opponents to win, and for the sake of the battle.

Ichigo lied to her. Lied. He left Orihime in danger, and if Tatsuki had known, she could have protected her.

It's all the same with him; ever since that one time that he won, that single victory, he hasn't thought her worth his respect.

It hurts too much to think straight now, and Orihime, Orihime . . .

She puts her anger into the blow, and his head through the window, and damn him, he looks surprised.
