Bleach

Ichigo is breathing heavily, lying among the rubble. Rukia is nearby, also seriously injured. Orihime kneels down next to them, trying to hold back her tears. She looks at their wounds, and then notices Yhwach approaching.

Orihime rises slowly. Her hands tremble, but she steps forward and stands between Yhwach and the wounded.

Orihime: - Don't come near...

Yhwach stops and looks at her calmly. His spiritual pressure makes it hard for Orihime to breathe, but she doesn't back down.

Ichigo: - Orihime... get out of here...

She turns to him for a second and shakes her head.

Orihime: - No. I won't leave you here.

Orihime raises her hand. Six petals of her Shun Shun Rikka appear around her, ready to protect their master.

Orihime: "I... I know I'm afraid. But I still have to protect you."

Rukia opens her eyes with difficulty.

Rukia: - Inoue... don't risk yourself...

Orihime: - I won't let him hurt you anymore.

Orihime takes another step forward, her gaze gleaming with determination despite her fear.

Orihime: - I will not retreat.

Behind her, Ichigo tries to rise, but he has almost no strength left. Orihime hears him and clenches her fist tighter.

Ichigo: - Orihime...

She doesn't turn around.

Orihime: - Ichigo... just rest. This time, I'll protect you.
