Who: Orihime / OTA What: Introduction When: Around 2 PM (mind you, she's coming from the next day around 6:30 AM) Where: Public library in Lawrence Warnings: None
In the time it took her to blink Orihime went from standing outside the Kurosaki Clinic, waiting for Kurosaki-kun so they could walk to school together to a strange room. One minute there were people walking by in the early morning light, speaking Japanese, and the next she's in a library with English all around her.
Strange things have happened before, but she can't help the frightened "Kurosaki-kun?" that escapes her lips before she gets serious. People speaking English...she can understand it. Sora-kun made sure she was fluent in English. She had a horrible accent compared to these people, but so far no one had made comment about how suddenly there was an auburn haired woman in a school uniform in the middle of the aisle between two shelves of books so she doubted that when she talked to someone they would laugh at her. She looked around and wondered what to do next.
She moved out into the main aisle and looked around. There weren't a whole lot of people around, but she got a look outside the window and saw it was afternoon. She looked around some more and spotted someone sitting at a larger desk. But before she got to that person she saw a newspaper sitting on a table. She picked it up and frowned. "Lawrence? Kansas?" she said quietly. Then she got a look at the date and her eyes widened. That date was yesterday's date. It was already the next day in Japan.
She sat down in the chair near the table, staring at the newspaper. Then she reached for her bag...suddenly realizing that it had not come with her to wherever she was. No phone, no money...not that yen would be useful here, she realized. But she was cut off from everyone she knew, somewhere far away, and there was no one she could turn to for help. And with that realization, she began to cry quietly.
