Chapter 1 - Take Me Away

As Orihime proceeded to leave Soul Society, she turned around to say a final farewell to Captain Ukitake.

"Thank you so much for everything Captain Ukitake."

"No problem, please inform me when you reach the living world."

"Sure thing," Orihime said with a smile and disappeared into the darkness.

While she was running, two guards arrived by her side to guide her to her destination. At first she was a little upset that they didn't trust her to go by herself but she ignored their presence and kept moving until she heard a strange voice…

"Hmm… 2 guards… Soul Society is slacking. I hope they couldn't possibly hope that such trash would be able to protect you woman."

Then before Orihime could blink to think of whose voice it was her bodyguards went down and blood spewed throughout the air. Orihime's eyes grew wide with fear and anxiety.

"W-what is going on," she cried as she looked from guard to guard laying on the floor motionless at her side. She immediately began to heal them, but she was interrupted…

"You there woman, you are to come with me… now."

Orihime raised her head and remembered the dreadful face that stood in front of her.

"It's… you… you were the one who hurt Ichigo!"

"So it seems you remember who I am. No matter let's go now. I don't have time to waste talking to you."

Orihime resisted and her heart beat raced faster as the figure in front of her reached out his arm to grab her. She pulled backwards which angered him.

"That's it," he said grabbing her by her hair and pulling her inside of the garganta.

Once inside it got real dark and Orihime started crying silently to herself for multiple reasons. Some of them being she would never see Ichigo again and also that him pulling on her hair so hard was really painful and she couldn't help but cry. Ulquiorra saw her crying out the corner of his eyes and he let her hair go.

"Thank you…," Orihime whispered through sobs.

Ulquiorra ignored her and kept moving forward. A couple of moments later they reached their destination. Ulquiorra opened up the garganta and exited with Orihime following behind him.

"Where am I," Orihime asked wiping her tears away and looking around confused.

Again Ulquiorra ignored the sound of her voice in her ear.

"Why am I here… what do you want? Who are you? Where's Ichi-"

"Shut up woman… or else I will kill you."

Orihime immediately stopped asking him questions, because she realized that it wouldn't make a difference if she asked them a thousand more times.

Once inside of Las Noches Ulquiorra kept walking until he reached a very tall white door and announced that he was about to enter.

"It is I, Ulquiorra, I am entering now."

The white door swung open and a man sitting on a throne turned around to face the door. Ulquiorra walked in and practically threw Orihime towards Aizen. Orihime fell to the floor.

"Awe, come now… that wasn't very nice Ulquiorra," Aizen teased.

Ulquiorra just stared at Aizen with the same facial expression he always wore and said

"What do you need this trash for? She has such weak spiritual pressure it makes me sick. She's so weak so what could you possibly need this woman for?"

"Watch and see," Aizen replied back.

Just them Grimmjow came walking through the door with a nasty attitude as usual. When he walked past Ulquiorra they stared at each other with a cold bone chilling stare. Orihime, still on the floor, finally raised her head and looked at Aizen. He took note of it and stared back down at her. They eyed each other for a while, because Orihime couldn't seem to take her eyes of him even though she was petrified. Aizen stepped down off his throne and began walking in Orihime's direction. When he reached Orihime he kneeled down on one knee and lifted Orihime's chin with his finger.

"I need you to heal his arm… Orihime."

Orihime knew she couldn't say no. So without hesitation she rose to her feet and slowly walked over to Grimmjow with her head bowed and began healing his arm. Slowly his disintegrated arm came back to matter and formed once again onto his body. Grimmjow was astonished but he wouldn't let it show on his face. After she was done he tested his newly revived arm. He started firing of ceros to make sure it worked properly. He then grabbed Orihime and lifted her face about a inch away from his and asked

"Who are you girl?"

Orihime shocked and scared didn't reply which was the biggest mistake she ever made, because Grimmjow had a low tolerance and threw her into the wall hard enough for it to leave a huge dent in the wall. Orihime hit the wall and then slid down to the floor. She collapsed and passed out. Aizen looked at her and then at Grimmjow.

"What?" Grimmjow asked.

"Ulquiorra take her to her room," Aizen commanded completely ignoring Grimmjow's dumfounded question.

Ulquiorra walked over to Orihime who lay looking lifeless on the floor. He scooped her up and disappeared from Aizen's room.

"You shouldn't treat our guest that way… Grimmjow."

"Well maybe you should teach our 'guest' that when she is spoken to, she needs to reply back," Grimmjow said with a smirk on his face.

Aizen didn't continue the conversation any further he repositioned himself back on his throne and told Grimmjow that he was dismissed.

To Ulquiorra and Orihime…

Ulquiorra entered Orihime's holding room and laid her down on the bed. She had quite a large bruise on the back of her head.

"Stupid Grimmjow…"

Ulquiorra said under his breath which Orihime seemed to have hear because she stirred ion her sleep.

"Uhh..mm…" she murmured as she rolled over now facing Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra just stared down at her.

Stupid human woman… why do I have to be stuck watching you.

Ulquiorra scoffed at the thought of having to watch her forever.

"This mere woman… what could Aizen possibly want with her…"
