This story is part of the whackybiscuit story

"12 Brides and a Strawberry" with his permission.

Never understood why Orihime was not considered a threat over Ichigo. In this story, is revealed the reason.

Sitting at the round table Kisuke had set up for all the brides, Ichigo felt a bead of sweat roll down the side of his face as he awkwardly looked from person to person nervously. He mentally hoped that Kisuke's bracelets were as effective as Yoruichi had touted them to be because otherwise, he would have a really bad problem on his hands.

Fighting Yhwach? For all the pain Ichigo went through in that fight, that seemed tame in comparison to trying to mediate a talk between three girls when one of them wanted to kill the other two. Ichigo realized what a difficult task it would be when Bambietta looked like she wanted to jump across the table and strangle the two other Sternritters the moment they walked into the room.

Bambietta and Rangiku glared daggers at the smallest of the pair, a petite blonde named Liltotto, and quite hatefully at the dark-haired girl.

" So, Bambi-chan, how are you doing now?" Giselle said with a cheerful expression pissing Bambietta off.

Bambietta spoke with teeth clenched. "You know damn well what I wanna talk about. You killed me!"

" I would have had Orihime-chan fix you up if we won the war. Why do you think Orihime was never targeted by Yhwach because of her ability? I would have had Orihime revive you once the war was won. " Giselle said with a smile on her face.

" What about me? You freak of a Quincy gathered Captain Hitsugaya's body I was still barely alive, but I was nothing but a corpse at that point. You Gigi, used your blood to turn us into zombies. Then you threw us at Captain Kurotsuchi and his own zombie Arrancars. I...was drugged and immobilized after that. But thanks to Captain Kurotsuchi's machine, I've lost probably around eighty to eighty-five percent of my remaining lifespan. " Rangiku said looking furiously with her hands clenched tightly.

" I am truly sorry for what I did to you. I promise to try and make it up to you. Did you know that Orihime literally can limit, reject, and negate any kind of event that has happened to her target, and is an ability that returns her target to its former state, no matter what has happened to them? So yes she could fix rangiku's lifespan." Giselle said looking with sad eyes at Ichigo who felt conflicted at the moment. He looked at Lilotto who was eating Orihime's food which surprised him. From what Candi and Meni told him, she would eat anything.

"Do you two feel bad about what you did? She was your friend, after all."

" We were not friends, to begin with, Kurosaki Ichigo. Yhwach did not tolerate failure. After the Licht Reich was crushed by the original Thirteen Court Guard Squads and was reformed into the Vandenreich, Yhwach reorganized the Sternritters into becoming more ruthless. Not just to our enemies but to each other. One of the core tenets that we kept to was that to lose was to bring shame to the Vandenreich. And Bambietta lost to Captain Komamura. She was so confident that she would win that we ditched her and left her to deal with Captain Komamura. We did not expect the dog captain to obtain temporary immortality and defeat Bambietta. So as a mercy, we turned her into a zombie because just like Gigi said, we would have brought Bambi back to life." Lilotto said before continuing to eat everything on her plate.

Ichigo and Orihime were unsettled at hearing that Yhwach was aware of Orihime's powers and he did nothing thanks to Giselle. Orihime could not help but feel happy at hearing that she could bring Rangiku's lifespan to normal

"Do you two feel bad about what you did? She was your friend, after all."

" I honestly don't care whether she was alive or dead. But do keep in mind, Kurosaki Ichigo, I kept an eye on Gigi so she would not try anything dirty with Bambi." Lilotto said giving Gigi a side glance who just huffed in annoyance at the accusation.

" Like I said, I am sorry for turning both of them into zombies. I promise to make up for it in any way I can."

" Wel, I would need somebody to give me a massage and help Captain Hitsugaya with the paperwork. " Rangiku said looking with a mischievous grin at Gigi who just sighed and nodded.

" Well, that is not going to fly with me. I can forgive Lilotto for looking out for me and for killing Pepe who used Candi with his ability, but you will have to earn my trust back, Giselle." Bambietta said looking at Giselle with a glare while Lilotto was shocked about what she just heard about how Pepe used his ability on Candice.

" Soten Kisshun,i reject.! " Orihime said with a determined look on her face as a shield formed around Rangiku. Ichigo put his hand on her back filling her with his own reiatsu which to Orihime was warm .
