Hello! This is not an Ulquihime story if you thought it was. SORRY. But please do not turn back! Please at least try it!
"Ulqui nii-san?", Rose called to her older brother. She was a couple of inches shorter than him and was two years younger which meant she was 16 years old.
She was the spitting image of him with pale skin, jet black hair and dazzling emerald eyes.
Her hair was waist length and was usually kept down. Though Ulquiorra had a stoic outer frame, he was extremely out going and would only smile to her. This melancholic mask was to hide his sadness. When he was only 10, Rose being 8, their parents had been shot dead, as well as their older brother, Kaien. (A/N: The resemblance between Ulquiorra and Kaien is their hair and eye color. Sorry if it's weird).
He was Rose's rock now, a very sturdy rock. They were alike in every which way. Even their birthdays! They were both born on December 1 but they were two years apart. They did everything together.
"Yeah Rose?", Ulquiorra asked coming out of the bathroom, his hair matted down from the shower he had just taken. It was their birthday and Rose wanted to celebrate it so badly.
"Can we go out to eat nii-san?", Rose inquired poking her brother's stomach playfully. He was so thin. He was only 120 pounds. Rose weighed only weighed 85 herself. They weren't under eating, they had three meals a day. Just that... not enough. A normal breakfast consisted of eggs, a fruit, and a glass of milk. Lunch, maybe a sandwich. Dinner, a slice of bread, possibly a few vegetables, and some form of meat.
They, obviously, were not rich. Once their family died, they went into poverty. At the age of 13, Ulquiorra got a job, as a waiter. Even now he was one, and so was Rose. They had saved enough money to go out for dinner once in a while, only on special occasions though and today was their birthday.
"Do we have enough money?", Ulquiorra asked looking at the piggy bank they kept their money in. He hated asking that question, Do we have enough money?.
"Yeah. I just checked. Someplace simple. Not too expensive. Just for our birthday. I bought you something."
"Sure", Ulquiorra said smiling. He had bought Rose something to. It was kind of customary to do that. They put on their coats and headed out the door, Rose wrapping her arms around Ulquiorra to stay warmer. They passed many shops as they walked down streets.
"Ha! Look Ichigo! It's the Schiffer couple!", a boy said from behind them. Rose didn't even have to turn around to know who was talking. Shiro. The twin brother of Ichigo. Those two bullied Rose like there was no tomorrow.
"Ooooh aren't they cute!", Ichigo teased.
"Oh. It is you two. What do you guys want?", Ulquiorra asked, keeping his voice monotone. He would not let them have their way in teasing them. Rose gripped Ulquiorra's arm tighter and pulled him into the restaurant, shutting out the two idiots out of their way.
"Don't talk to them nii-chan, they'll just keep doing that.", Rose said, seating themselves at a booth table. They ordered and sat back, finally relaxing. Rose reached into her pocket and pulled out a small, black box and handed it to Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra inspected it with a smile before opening the box. It was a black watch from his favorite company Murciélago. ULquiorra smiled and pulled out a small black box also, handing it to his little sister.
Rose opened the box quickly and looked at the present flabbergasted. It was a small locket in the shape of a heart. She opened the locket to find a photo of their mother and father on one side. Kaien and Ulquiorra on the other. Rose's eyes watered as she thanked Ulquiorra.
The food soon arrived, and by then, Ulquiorra had put the watch on and Rose had put the locket on. They ate and talked happily, Rose doing most of the talking. Unlike her brother, Rose was usually straightforward and quite talkative. That was how she had become enemies with the Kurosaki twins. They had been bullying this poor boy and Rose walked between the boys and gave Ichigo and Shiro a piece of her mind.
Ulquiorra had come at the same time and dragged Rose out of the progressing fight, hence the reason Shiro had called the siblings, the Schiffer couple.
After finishing their dinner, they paid and made their way out of the restaurant. Rose was walking in front of Ulquiorra looking behind her to talk. Unknowingly, she started to cross a busy intersection, Ulquiorra not paying attention either. Everything happened in a flash.
Rose looked behind her to see Ulquiorra yelling at her to call her back. She looked to find a car coming towards her. She froze.
Run! Run Rose Run!, Her mind kept telling her but her body wouldn't listen. A car horn honked, Rose felt a push and the world went black.
"Mmmmmmm", Rose groaned, feeling something cold on her forehead. She sat up to find herself in... a clinic? All the memories came rushing back to her like a gust of wind.
She had been standing, her body not able to move. Ulquiorra pushed her aside...
Ulquiorra! Rose scanned the room searching for her brother. Nothing. Her door silently opened, revealing a tall man with gray eyes and raven hair. She remembered him from her parent's funeral. His name was Bykuya...Kuchiki? Yeah. Byakuya Kuchiki.
"Hello Rose.", Byakuya said, his voice clear and smooth like silk.
"Nii-chan...", Rose said, referring to Ulquiorra. Bykuya's face remained calm as he spoke words that changed her life.
"Rose... your brother is dead."
Rose's eyes widened. She got up from the bed and stumbled towards Byakuya. She gripped his shirt and looked him in the eyes.
"Y-you are joking right? Ulqui nii-san cannot be dead", She said, her mouth becoming dry.
"I am sorry but it is true Rose. Ulquiorra is dead."
Rose fell to her knees, her hands still gripping Byakuya's shirt. Her head hung as she heard the door open again.
"This is Rose?", a voice asked.
"Yes, Doctor Kurosaki this is. Can I keep her in your care?", Byakuya asked holding the girl's tiny frame to make sure she didn't fall again. This was Ichigo and Shiro's dad, Rose realized.
"Yes of course", Isshin said.
"C-can I see my brother?", Rose asked, not letting go of Byakuya.
"Can she ?"
"Um... I guess so. Right this way", Isshin said beckoning the two out the door. As Rose stepped out she saw Ichigo and Shiro looking at her, deep concern in their eyes. Rose looked away and, with the help of Byakuya, got to the room where her dead brother lay. As they entered the room, Rose felt tears come to her eyes. Was Ulquiorra really gone?
They approached they body and Rose contained a sob. There he was, her last string of hope, lying dead. His beautiful eyes were closed, his face had small lacerations on it.
"How could nii-san die from a few cuts?", Rose asked, starting to doubt that Ulquiorra was dead.
"The car hit his back, breaking his spine fully, causing him to die.", Isshin said slowly watching Rose as she pushed herself away fro Byakuya to look at her brother.
Rose touched his face slowly, tears coming down from her eyes slowly.
"We are going to take you to my house", Isshin said pulling the girl away from her brother.
"W-with Ichigo?", Rose asked nervously. She didn't want to do this.
"Yes... is that a problem?", Isshin asked, sort of confused.
"N-no...", Rose said. She stumbled, and eventually passed out.
"Poor kid...", Isshin said carrying Rose like a child.
"Dad... is she really staying here? Like... a sister? Are we adopting her", Ichigo asked. Isshin laughed
"Don't worry. She will only be staying with us for a little while. You can date her.", he added winking.
"How-", Ichigo began.
"It is so obvious that you and Shiro had fallen for her."
Rose woke up the next morning felling horrible. Her brother was dead. She was staying at the Kurosaki residence... and WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE WEARING? She looked at the huge black shirt and baggy sweatpants. W-who had undressed her? She looked around the room to find a note by her bed.
Hi. I am Karin. You know me. Um... if you're wondering I changed your clothes so don't worry 'bout it. Breakfeast is downstairs at 10 a.m.
Rose looked at the note a little longer before getting up. She ignored her surroundings before going out of the bedroom. She crawled downstairs to see the whole Kurosaki family talking and eating. She stood there watching them eat before the smallest Kurosaki noticed her.
"Rose onee- chan!", Yuzu Kurosaki said to the pale girl before taking her hand and leading Rose to the table. Rose looked curiously at the girl before sitting down. Right between Ichigo and Shiro.
"Wow you're soooo pretty. Your eyes are beautiful", gushed the brunett. Rose looked down.
"Eat!", Isshin said his eyes looking huge. Rose politely shook her head no before looking down again.
"I don't really eat breakfast much...", Rose mumbled. She didn't want to talk but it would be rude not to.
"Huh?", the whole family looked at the green-eyed girl, their own eyes wide with surprise.
"Yeah...", Rose mumbled before getting up.
"Ichigo and Shiro will come to your house with you today to pick up your stuff. You're living here now."
Rose felt her heart hurt more than it had been, but only nodded before going back to her room.
The twins and Rose left the house and walked in silence all the way to Rose's house. Rose stayed ahead of them as much as possible and finally got to the door of her old apartment she had so many memories with. She took a deep breath and opened the door to find a gift inside.
Heh hope ya like it hime
~Grimmjow and Nnoitra
Grimmjow and Nnoitra? Those two were Ulquiorra's best friends, her friends as well. What could they have gotten her? She opened the present carefully and almost nosebled at what she saw. It was a vibrator.
She quickly grabbed her laptop, her clothes, and her cell phone before shutting the door, not acknowledging Ichigo and Shiro who had patiently waited outside. She walked through the crowds before spotting blue hair.
Grimmjow. It was only possible. She grabbed the sex toy with her right hand held it over her head and threw, perfectly hitting the back of Grimmjow's head. She ran up to him and started jumping on him. Finally he grabbed her shoulders and calmed her down.
"Rose?", Grimmjow asked generally confused.
"Son of a bitch. That's for getting me that thing", Rose said after standing up.
"Haha... 's Ulquiorra?", He asked after standing up himself.
Rose looked down.
"He...he's dead"
"WHAT?"
"He got hit by a car...", Rose said before sniffing, "I-it's all my fault", she said before crying. She had tried to keep a straight face but it finally broke. Grimmjow hugged her, tears in his own eyes. She was only up to his chest,so he held Rose close as she cried.
"Hey! What are you doing to Rose?", Shiro and Ichigo yelled as they pulled Rose away from Grimmjow.
Rose stood again nearly falling again until Grimmjow caught her. She felt really hot and dizzy. She couldn't hear anything.
"G-grimm... hot", a line of sweat started to form on Rose's brow.
"What's wrong with her?", Shiro asked trying to understand why Rose was sweating so much.
"Fuck. It's vertigo. A disease that causes an imbalance in the ears", Grimmjow explained as he picked Rose up, " First we need to get her to sit somewhere. Then we need to get her water. FAST. God... you guys pulled her to fast", Grimmjow yelled as he ran to the nearest shop. He placed Rose down and bought a water. He tilted Rose's head back and slowly poured water down her mouth. Rose swallowed and held Grimmjow's arm.
"Hime... you're hurting my arm", Grimmjow said, smiling. Rose loosened her grip but still held Grimmjow.
"What is vertigo?", Ichigo asked, looking at Grimmjow.
"I already explained. Have you noticed when she stands up from sitting fast, or after she's run, she'll hold something and stand still for a bit?", The twins nodded.
"Well that's because of vertigo.", Grimmjow simply said.
"How do you know this?", Shiro asked scowling.
"Because I babysat her while Ulquiorra worked. Which reminds me, don't you have work today Rose?", Rose nodded before slowly standing up. She hugged Grimmjow again and thanked him before running off.
"ha. She's gonna be late", Grimmjow said smiling.
Ichigo and Shiro looked back at Grimmjow one more time before running off after Rose.
"Gomen Nasai", Rose said quietly as she slipped off her coat.
"It's okay dear... take the day off. I heard...", Teresa said grimly looking at Rose.
Rose bowed, "Thank you so much!", she said before running off, her backpack with all her stuff bouncing back and forth.
"There you are!", Shiro said catching up with Rose. She ignored them and kept walking.
"Stop being such a prick Rose", Ichigo said scowling. Rose glared at him.
"Shut the fuck up. JUST SHUT UP!", Rose said before turning and walking towards the Kurosaki residence. She entered and went straight to the room she had been given, slamming the door. After she unpacked her things, she went onto her balcony and looked out. The sound of her door opening startled her. It was Ichigo.
"This is dinner. Eat.", Ichigo said. Rose couldn't eat. Her stomach already felt terrible. She shook her head and continued to stare up into the barren sky.
"I said eat.", Ichigo said coming closer to Rose. Rose ignored him until he pulled her by the wrist inside and sat her down.
"Eat.", Ichigo said scowling as Rose continued to shake her head.
'And why the fuck can't you?"
"Since when the FUCK do YOU care?" Rose screamed punching Ichigo across the face. Ichigo only looked at Rose before leaving. Rose fell on her knees and held her shoulders while she cried. She wanted her nii-san. More than anything in the world.
