Pairing: UlquiHime

Rated: K

"Back"

The door to a very familiar class room quietly slid open. In the pre-school flurry of books, papers, homework, and friends talking in both ears, the action went unnoticed by all except Orihime. The auburn haired girl glanced up and felt her heart stop. Ichigo, Uryuu, and Chad looked up when a strangled name fell from her lips.

"U...Ulquiorra?"

Ichigo almost fell off his chair, he turned so fast. There was a tall pale teenager with the same oh-so-recognizable, totally unforgettable green eyes standing in the doorway. A thin white hand nervously fiddled with his uniform tie. His sea green eyes met Orihime's gray ones, and the corners of his mouth twitched up into a half hopeful, half sad smile. The entire group moved as one and surrounded him at the door.

People were beginning to look up and Orihime could hear the girls beginning to mutter. Ichigo and Chad hadn't quite transitioned from shocked disbelief to a state where they could actually talk, but Uryuu defiantly had.

"What are you doing here?" He hissed.

Orihime, who had been trying to sort out the warm, fuzzy feelings in her chest that the sight of the former espada had aroused, saved him from having to answer by throwing her arms around him. She had the distinct feeling that three jaws had hit the ground behind her, but she didn't turn around to check. She felt Ulquiorra's arms hesitantly wrap around her, returning the hug. She wished she could stay like this forever, but she pulled away and beamed up at him.

"I'm so glad you're back!"

AND THEN THE TEACHER'S DESK EXPLODED

A/N: Just kidding.

Anyway, not a huge fan of this pairing. I mean, Ulquiorra's so epic that he deserves someone but I kinda think he could do better... (Not Orihime's biggest fan.) I really love Ulquiorra though... He's the best espada (with Grimmjow being a close second.)

Note:

I am not as up to date on Bleach as I am on Naruto. I'm somewhere in the 300's out of... I don't know how many chapters. So, pretty much, Ulquiorra's not dead.

This takes place after the whole Journey to Hueco Mundo thing, and Aizen's defeated and all the Shinigami are back in the Soul Society. Pretty much, random reanimation (I don these a lot, don't I?) so I could write something with a non-espada Ulquiorra.

Kinda long A/N... Sorry about that.
