Green Rain of Despair

Chapter One

Ichigo was lying on the roof of Las Noches, in a puddle of his own blood, gushing out from the hole Ulquiorra left in his chest from his Cero Oscuras. The woman that loved him, Orihime Inoue, knelt beside him weeping for her lost love and his friend Uryuu Ishida stood next to her attempting to comfort her. Ulquiorra stood 10 feet away just watching them with a blank stare.

"Aizen-sama will be pleased." he said to himself before turning away. Ishida charged up an arrow and shot it at Ulquiorra's wing, grazing one of the vertebra.

Ulquiorra stopped and turned around to face his new opponent.

"Leave Quincy, Aizen-sama has no orders in killing an enemy of the Shinigami." Ulquiorra said. Ishida ignored Ulquiorra's order and aimed another arrow for Ulquiorra's head.

"Fine. But your going to put that woman in a great deal of stress, seeing two of her friends die before her." Ulquiorra said as he charged his green lancer. Ishida fired an arrow, but Ulquiorra batted it off as it was a house fly.

He disappeared from Ishida's sight and reappeared directly in front of him. Ulquiorra cut Ishida diagonally across the chest, causing him to fall backwards and lay flat on the roof.

"Ishida-kun!" Inoue yelled, but she could not leave Ichigo's side to help Ishida. Ulquiorra walked towards Inoue.

"So is this a heart woman? The pain and emotion you feel over the loss of your friends." Inoue could not reply, her eyes were still shedding tears for her friends.

Ulquiorra turned around and looked down the hole he cut in the roof, he saw Yammy releasing his sword. He sighed.

"Yammy is a fool." he said to himself. He used his sonido to appear behind Inoue. He used his tail to bind her arms so she couldn't struggle. Inoue thought for sure that she was going to be killed by him and lie dead next to the man she loved, but instead he reached down and removed her hair pins, then threw her down so she landed on Ichigo and became stained with his blood, which made her tears quicken their pace down her cheeks.

"I'll take these from you so you can't heal your friends while I'm gone." Inoue looked up, but her long orange hair fell in front of her face, so she lost sight of Ulquiorra. When she pushed it out of the way, he was gone. All she saw was his long black tail disappear down the hole to Las Noches.

Rukia, Renji and Sado all looked up to see Yammy's devastatingly giant release, Ira. Yammy laughed at their frightened expressions.

"You insects can't even lay a scratch on me!" he taunted with a loud tone. Then he noticed a bat-like object fly down from the hole in the roof of Las Noches. It appeared to be Ulquiorra's release Murcielago, but it was different to what Yammy had seen before.

"Yo Ulquiorra!" he yelled. Ulquiorra did not pay attention to Yammy, he just continued to fly to the ground and landed next to one of Yammy's legs.

"That a strong looking form Ulquiorra." Yammy had to bend down to see Ulquiorra's face.

"It's Resurrecion Segundo Etapa, you would have one too if you trained more instead of killing hollows and eating souls." Yammy laughed.

"Come on Ulqui-" he was cut off by Ulquiorra using his sonido to leap up to Yammy's eye level. He charged up a green lancer and sliced Yammy across the face. Blood spurted out and stained Ulquiorra's left wing. Yammy fell and layed motionless on the sandy ground of Las Noches.

"I don't care if he is a fellow Espada, he was weak." Ulquiorra turned to face Rukia. Rukia's arms shook as she held up Sode no Shirayuki in defence.

Ulquiorra charged up another green lancer and bolted towards Rukia. Rukia could not react, she was too frightened to move. Ulquiorra was just about to slice Rukia, but something stopped his lancer. A white scarf and black hair blew in the breeze. Byakuya Kuchiki stopped his lancer with his zanpakutou.

"Byakuya Kuchiki, nice of you to join us." Ulquiorra said stepping back as his lancer disappeared.

Then out of no where, he noticed a large figure charging towards him with a yellow energy behind him. He swung his zanpakutou with two hands and sent Ulquiorra flying. He crashed through a tower and caused rubble and dust to fall to the ground. Kenpachi laughed and put his sword on his shoulder.

"Thats it? I thought you would have lasted longer than that." he taunted as they watched the dust settle, but they could not see Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra appeared behind Kenpachi and ran his lancer through his chest.

"Please." Ulquiorra said as he removed his lancer. Kenpachi turned around and put his hand to his chest, blood poured out onto his hand.

"Heh, thats nothing" Kenpachi said with an evil grin on his face. He swung his sword at Ulquiorra again. He swiftly dodged and pointed his finger at Kenpachi.

"Cero Oscuras" he muttered. The black cero erupted from his fingertip and screamed towards Kenpachi. His right arm was blasted by the cero, causing it to bleed vigorously.

"You'll have to do better than that if you want to live, Shinigami." Ulquiorra said with his tail whipping behind him.
