I wrapped my arms around my knees as I was sitting in my small dark apartment.
The winter war was now over and Aizen was dead. Kurosaki-kun managed to beat him and he was seen as a hero in the Soul Society. As for me, I was seen as a traitor. No matter how Kurosaki-kun, Kuchiki-san, and the others fought for me.
It was painful. Seeing the ones you loved fight for you when you didn't ask them too.
It was so lonely. Having them fight for me when I did nothing but sit here in the darkness. It was also lonely seeing Kurosaki-kun and Kuchiki-san be together all the time. He was still injured from the battle, his arms and chest full of wounds and scars, but he still fought for me. When I was all alone in the small dark apartment, not being able to say a word I wanted to out of fear. Sure I was visited by all of my friends. But I couldn't stop being depressed.
Why was a depressed? I'm not even sure myself. But whenever I thought about it one person came to mind.
Ulquiorra Cifer.
The arrancar that 'watched over' me in Hueco Mundo. I felt an emptiness inside whenever I thought about him.
Why? I wanted to know why he always came into my head. Why? I needed an answer. Why? Please, just please help.
He turned into dust right before my eyes and I couldn't get the feeling of the last time I touched him. When I grabbed out to him and he turned to dust. The last time he looked at me. There was an emotion in his eyes that I couldn't understand.
Why? Why won't he leave my mind?
My hands were moving up to my hair, each grabbing a handful of my auburn hair as I leaned back into the nearest wall, my eyes closing in the process.
I needed and wanted an answer. I think I would do anything to know why.
Woman... My eyes snapped open. My hands gently let go of my hair, falling on top of my lap as I looked around the room. "Ulquiorra..." I muttered, looking around the room once more.
Nothing. I was enshrouded in darkness once again. I closed my eyes as tight as I could so that the only thing I saw was blotches of black and white. (*1)
I was enshrouded by darkness. But I had my answer.
I kept on thinking of him because I had fallen in love. A love that couldn't be returned.
A/N: Hello! Nice to meet everyone here! This is my first attempt at an Ulquihime fanfiction. I don't know if it is good or not, but I like it! I know Ulquiorra doesn't appear in it at all, and it is all Orihime, but I still like it! How did you guys think it was? Please review!
P.S: I WILL be writing more Ulquihime! So look out for that!
