Emptiness

MaineHalfBlood

Hollow..

That's right, that's how he's always felt..

Hollow..

Merely existing.. walking.. talking.. but no soul.

Hollow.

But it doesn't scare him. He was used to it.. Used to feeling nothing.. It was normal for him, so when she came and changed all that, he immediately hated her.

Hollow

He doesn't understand the others, how they are so passionate about fighting.. all he feels is emptiness. A sense of responsibility.. He doesn't do it because he wants to.. He does it because he needs to. It was his purpose.. And if he loses that purpose then existing would mean nothing to him at all.

Hollo

He wasn't used to feeling.. not hate.. or anger.. nor sadness.. not even pain.. all he feels is emptiness inside him and that was fine with him. He doesn't need useless emotions that cloud his judgement. Feelings are for trash.

Holl

He didn't want this. He didn't ask for this.. yet it was given to him. The woman was vital for them.. or so Aizen says. She isn't strong.. but she was tough.. on the mental level. She can heal or regenerate even lost limbs.. He didn't dare underestimate her power.

Hol

He takes care of her.. he was the one responsible for her, he force feeds her when she doesn't want it. He forces her to do things for her own good, even if it was against her will. He takes care of her even when she doesn't want him to.

Ho

He does it out of responsibility. Not because he cares for the woman.. That's right.. out of responsibility. He doesn't notice it but bit by bit he begins to.

H

Her friends have come for her.. She says she doesn't want to come with them. She says she wants to stay with him. She says that even if he didn't want to, she is ready to break her promise and devote her life to him, not just five of her lifetimes she tells him. She said she was willing to devote her all.

Ha

Looking back he doesn't understand why he did it, but he did. Maybe it was because he wanted to see her friends faces when they find out that she has changed sides. Nevertheless he did. He accepted her. He still doesn't know what to feel of it. He doesn't feel.

Hap

The tables have turned. She takes care of him now. He doesn't need to feed but she gives it to him. She urges him to have fun.. although he feels nothing, he.. kind of enjoys the fact that she looks so happy. Even if he doesn't know the reason why.

Happ

He starts to open up to her.. He tells her about himself. He doesn't understand why but he gets this feeling every time she approaches, it was as if his heart turned into a drum and she keeps hitting it or she releases butterflies in his stomach every time she draws near. He would have believed it, believed such idiotic notions but he was logical and logical things like this didn't happen.

Happy

He finally understands. Somehow he just woke up knowing the answer. He didn't know how or why it even happened. But it did.. He had fallen in love. He Ulquiorra Schiffer, Cuatro Espada, had fallen in love with Orihime Inoue. And because of it he was finally happy.
