SUMMARY: Orihime can't live without him, seriously.
DISCLAIMER: I hate writing this, but I have to. This is a disclaimer, so obviously, it was meant to disclaim. Self-explanatory. I don't claim this anime, and all related to it.

Well, here's a new fic. UlquiHime again and I wish you will love the pair the way I do.
I don't have any interest on IchiRuki, though it's really popular now. I mean, I don't hate it, but I don't love it. UlquiHime is the only pair I would want to see for real. I have nothing against IchiRuki.
Stop the talk. If you want someone to talk to, just talk to me. I feel talkative you know.
OKAY! I'm stopping. I wish you'll like this new fic. ENJOY!! :)

CHAPTER 1:
Drugged
-
"Aizen-sama, you summoned me?"
"Ah, yes, Ulquiorra." The devil smiled. "I would like to give you a special mission…"
"Don't you think it's quite dangerous for you to put me in a mission now, especially the war's getting near?"
"I know that. But this is more important. Do you remember that woman?"
"If you're telling me about that woman, yes, I do."
"I need you to save her."
-
An orange-head girl sighed. High school is suffocating her. There's millions of homework to do. Taking a good, comforting bath is her only way to escape those assignments.
Inoue Orihime let herself be covered with all sorts of bubbles. It is comforting. She scrubbed herself gently. "Ahh, good old baths." She sank inside her tub.
She didn't have this kind of bath when she was still in Hueco Mundo. She was given the best baths while she's still there, but she didn't enjoy it. Home baths are different.
It had been two weeks already, and yet, those happenings still haunt her.
She shook her thoughts away. She stayed inside the bath for awhile. Relaxingly, Inoue just let the bubbles capture her…
Slowly, Inoue felt a pain searing inside her chest. It was so painful. She didn't mind at first, but when she felt it creeping towards her arms, she knows that it might kill her. She touched her chest, gasping for breath.
Suddenly she can't move from her position. She can't stand up. She tried to move a muscle but the pain is stopping her. She tried to scream but no voice came out.
Everything was starting to blur. Is this… the end?
She saw different kinds of flashbacks. She saw her brother, Rukia, Chad, Ishida… Ichigo… Hueco Mundo… then him. He stayed there the longest. His melancholic face was stuck inside her mind… their indifferent talks…
"U…-Ul… Ulq…" She gasped. "Ulquiorra…"
She closed her eyes… All her memories start to fade away…
Then, all of a sudden, she can breathe. All her energy came back. The pain was gone. Then, awkwardly, someone moved her body to a sitting position, and unplugged the tub. Inoue felt the water rushing.
She unhurriedly opened her eyes. She saw a tall white figure, similar to someone she knew. His right hand is inside his pocket. The other hand is holding a towel. The same posture belonged to someone… what's his name again…?
Subsequently, her memories and her consciousness went back to her.
She hugged herself, trying to hide her private parts. "U-ULQUIORRA?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
Ulquiorra Schiffer didn't look at her, and just threw her a towel. "Your bathroom is approximately 3 meters?"
Inoue hurriedly wrapped the towel around her. "Y-yes. It's kind of small, but that doesn't matter now." She tucked the end of her towel under her arm. "What matters now is… what you are doing here!"
Ulquiorra casually walked towards the end of the room. "Aizen-sama's orders."
"What are his orders now? Kill me? Or… pervertized you?" (A/N: There's no such word as pervertize) She pointed at Ulquiorra.
"To save you, he says."
"Save me? I-I didn't know that making you a pervert could save me!"
"Finish your bath. Let's talk about this as soon as you're dressed. I am no pervert. I won't look." Ulquiorra turned around.
"Why don't you just get out of my bathroom?!"
"You're bathroom is square, meaning almost all sides will have the measure of 3 meters from your tub, or from the wall. If I went out from this 3, then you will feel the same pain you felt moments ago." Ulquiorra replied, stiffly, matter-of-factly, but seriously.
Inoue was somewhat intimidated. She didn't understand everything he said. The only thing she understood was if he will go out of the room, she will die. "Okay, okay, I understand. S-Stay here, just don't turn around."

20 minutes later…
Ulquiorra and Inoue sat on both ends of the table. Inoue was completely dressed now in her pajamas. She stared at Ulquiorra's melancholic eyes.
"So… explain the situation in an easier matter."
Ulquiorra shifted his position. He looked away from Inoue's stare. "You remember the last time you ate in Hueco Mundo?"
Inoue pondered for awhile. Then she looked up again. "Yes, that's the one you said you will push my food down my throat or… I forgot the other one."
"That's the one. Did you eat that?"
"I ate a spoonful, but I didn't finish it. I don't like plain food."
"It would've been better if you didn't. If you didn't, I might not have been here."
"Huh? What's the connection of the food there?"
"Through that food, you took in some drugs."
"Drugs? Like marijuana or heroin?"
"I don't know what you mean with that." Ulquiorra shifted his position again. "That drug was an experimental one made by Aizen-sama. The name is HYT-X2. Its main purpose is to make his allies and subordinates and even slaves loyal to him."
"Soo…" Inoue looked at him and leaned a bit forward.
"He tried it on several Arrancars. It took effect two weeks after the intake. He proved that if the Arrancar went out of a 3 meter radius from him, he will die of unbearable pain."
Inoue's eyes widened. She reflected. It was two weeks since…"Do you mean that I took in that drug? Then, if I went out of that 3 radius, I will… die." Inoue gasped. "But, how come you're the one I should be near to?"
"He let me drink another drug that will make HYT-X2 react on me ONLY."
"You said that it was for his allies, subordinates… and slaves…" Inoue said.
"It was HYT-X1. He created another one to PREVENT you from escaping. But, by the time the drug took effect, you're away from us already."
"Then… then why are you here? I mean, he said I am already useless to him, now…"
"That information will remain as classified. No one besides us two shall know."
"IT'S UNFAIR!! MY LIFE IS ENDANGERED AND YOU WILL KEEP THAT CLASSIFIED?!" She stomped on the table.
"Classified, eh?" Someone suddenly spoke.
Ulquiorra and Inoue turned their heads around to look who is talking. It was Urahara.
"Urahara-san!" Inoue said.
"Oi, Orihime-chan" He smiled at Inoue. "And, an Espada! Hello, Ulquiorra Schiffer-kun!" He greeted.
Ulquiorra didn't reply.
"What are you doing this late night, Urahara-san?" Orihime asked.
"Most people call it 'eavesdropping', but for my case, it isn't." Urahara chuckled. "I felt Ulquiorra-kun's small reiatsu here. I thought he will kidnap you again, so I rushed here."
Inoue waved her hands in defense. "No, no! I am safe here. If you've heard, then you'll know why, Urahara-san." She smiled, faintly.
"Ahh, yes, I've heard. Ulquiorra-kun…" He eyed Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra looked back, bitterly. "…don't you think it will be better if you'll have your own gigai?"
"I guess that will be better."
"If that's so, I will give you a gigai early tomorrow." Urahara faced Orihime. "Orihime-chan, after he received his gigai, can you shop him around with other decent clothes?"
"Y-yes…"
"Don't worry about the money! Shinigamis have lots, you know." Urahara chuckled.
"Yes, I understand!" Inoue giggled.
"Well, Espada-kun, don't think you're safe from us." Urahara looked at Ulquiorra, stiffly. "WeWILL still interrogate your main purpose here. I'll have Kurosaki-kun and the others present here in Karakura, to meet tomorrow. We will discuss about this, if you will understand, Espada-kun." He emphasized the Espada-kun.
"Urahara-san! I told you, I am safeR with him around. He is… MY life now…" Inoue shied away with her last phrase.
"I know that. I would just ask him a few more questions to be sure you're really SAFER with him." He sighed. "Well then, see you later, Orihime-chan, Espada-kun! I still need to create his special gigai. Espada-kun's gigai won't be that simple since he is an Arrancar."
Urahara turned around, and in an instant, disappeared from their sight.
As soon as he is out of sight, Inoue started laughing. Ulquiorra just stared at her. It was no ordinary laugh. It was healthy… a full one… a lively one…
"Urahara-san is really funny!" She said when she saw Ulquiorra looking at her, curiously.
"I don't think he said something funny…"
Inoue just smiled back. "I just wanna laugh again. I mean, it really feels good to be human again. I don't mean I am not human but you know… Kurosaki-kun laughs a lot and he laughs at inhuman things… does that mean he is not human… Hell, wait, Kurosaki-kun and Kuchiki-san laugh at the same things… which makes them both Arrancar…"
Inoue's useless talk made Ulquiorra's lips inched into a teeny bit smirk.
It wasn't just about her useless talks… it was about everything about her. No, he doesn't feel anything but confusion right now. He doesn't feel any… 'love' (what humans call it). It's just about his seriousness to his mission.
Or maybe… it is just about what Inoue said… that he is HER life now…
Yes, maybe that's it… that made him feel differently that moment…
That made him feel human, for once.
