002 ☆ Second Flower

[holyfight]

[Your video feed for the morning opens to a very red-cheeked young lady with orangey hair. Orihime appears to be herself again today!

She also appears to be kind of mortified]

Umm! Good morning, everyone!

I'd just like to apologize if you saw me the other day and I wasn't acting like myself. I know it happened to a lot of people, but me and Kurosaki-kun switched bodies! So if I was swearing a lot or looked really angry, please don't take offense! I'm not actually angry with anyone! He was just upset at the time, that's all!

That's all I wanted to say, really! How has everyone else been?

That loud-mouthed, cocky red-head's the one that was in your body? Ok, yeah that explains a whole lot. Heh. I've been much worse, even here. It's good to be back in my body, though there's a certain Spider Demon who's going to be missing teeth when I get my claws on him.

[holyfight]

Uhn! That's him!

[She says, as though that was a compliment]

We have spider demons here? What are they like?

[samantha_grey]

We have one that I know of, and he's a surly little jackass who's going to get his teeth kicked in when I get my paws on him. [Yeah, she definitely wanted to repeat that.] He's not what you'd call people friendly, in my opinion.

[holyfight]

What'd he do to make you want to hit him? I'm surprised he has teeth instead of fangs!

[samantha_grey]

He's got fangs, but just two of them. Teeth the rest of the way, like me. As for what he did, little bastard was in my body. I feel all oily and dirty, and besides we really don't like each other.

[There was a little more to it, but she wasn't going to go into it, even if it made her sound needlessly violent.]

[holyfight]

Haaaah-! Oh no! I don't know how I'd feel if a boy I didn't like was in my body! That's terrible!

He... He didn't do anything weird to you, did he?

[samantha_grey]

[A growl. Nothing her tail didn't occasionally do when it was being impish anyway, but that wasn't getting him off the hook.]

Nothing that deserves more than his clock getting cleaned and him seeing stars for a week and a half, and a guy getting stuck in my body's almost enough for that as is. That's enough though. I'll handle the bum.

[holyfight]

You think being in your body is punishment?

[And then she remembers how Kurosaki-kun reacted]

Oh. I guess it would be for a guy, huh? Or at least really awkward...

If you need healed up when you're done, though, I can do that!

[samantha_grey]

Err, no, that's not quite what I meant. I meant a guy being in my body justified a good pounding. But, I wouldn't exactly say being in my body's what I'd consider a good thing. It's unpleasant enough being me. I'd hate to think about how hard it is for some stranger without a clue.

And thanks. I don't plan to need it.

[holyfight]

What's so hard about it?

I-I mean, if you don't mind me asking!

[samantha_grey]

Eh... it's alright. Rapunzel told me to stop being so evasive if I wanted people to understand and keep their distance. She's probably right too.

I'm a half demon. [She waves her tail into view and points at the horns.] The demon parts of me make treating things like most humans do harder. Demons are depraved creatures of vice, and every kind's got its own pet things it likes to do. My sort's not usually pleasant for most people to have to deal with, I'd bet, and if it's pleasant I sure as hell don't want them in my body. I get enough crap for the times I go crazy and lose control to the demonic side as is.

[holyfight]

[wow, that sounds familiar to her - although she won't mention Ichigo by name]

I think I have a friend who has a similar problem. I don't think you'd be dangerous to be around at all.

[this_chair]

...I don't think I can even picture you swearing.

[samantha_grey]

I'll be honest and say that's a lot easier to say when you're not dealing with my crazy side. Ichigo tracked down the last time I had one. It wasn't pretty, trust me. Still, I'm not going to say you can't try all the same. It's just not safe in my view. She's ... well, she's a vicious witch.

[digophelia]

Kurosaki-

[Hold on. She's heard that name tossed around a few times.]

Ichigo? That boy with the orange hair? ... I could almost pity you.

[badluckdelivery]

Its cool, me and other you didn't even get very far in our conversation.

[holyfight]

It is kind of weird, isn't it? I bet it probably looked funny to people who know me!

So you didn't see him in my body?

[holyfight]

Uhn, that's him!

Eh heh, he's not that bad! He's just a little rough around the edges! Still, I don't want anyone to think I was mad at them or anything!

[holyfight]

You...

You didn't make him angry, did you?

[because she doesn't really recognize you, but if you made Ichigo angry, she's kind of sorry for you]

[badluckdelivery]

No it just didn't go anywhere. Also I just...thought he was always angry.

[holyfight]

I don't know until I see it for myself, right?

[because she's dealt with Ichigo's other side, and that wasn't pretty, either - but she still stuck with him]

N-Not that you should make her come out just to show me! But if it happens, I won't be scared!

[this_chair]

No, I didn't. That's a good thing, right?

[digophelia]

Ah, no. I do pity you. "Rough around the edges" is so mild.

[holyfight]

Not always, no! Sometimes he even smiles! It's really cute when he does!

[holyfight]

Really? I never thought he was that hard to deal with.

Besides, his face is really funny when he scowls!
