Demon And His Angel

by PaulineBliss

Ulquiorra has vanished and Orihime is desperate. She goes on an adventure to find him. When she hears his voice and feels his reiatsu again, she knows that he's still alive somewhere. Ulquihime, an old story that I decided to publish anyway. Don't know when next update will be, though.

1. Chapter 1

The Demon and his Angel, Chapter 1

Inoue is being awfully quiet lately. Ever since that Ulquiorra died, she hasn't been hanging around other people. Why does she act like this after they had saved her from Hueco Mundo?

I don't know anymore. I feel like there's someone watching me, but when I look around, I can't seem to find anything suspicious. There are times when I feel there's someone in my bedroom. Staring at me when I try to sleep and reaching out to me. It tries to grab me somehow and I think that each night, it's getting closer.

This night, I'll try to figure out what this feeling is, what drives me crazy. I'll stay awake and observe even if I end up having no sleep at all.

That night.

I'm sitting in the corner of my room with a blanket wrapped around my body and a pillow to sit on. I have a flashlight that I can use, just in case. I keep my hairpins close.

*bam*

I hear something like a thud. What is it? where is it coming from?

I stand up and turn on the flashlight. I don't see anything, I don't hear anything. Still, I know it's here. A shadow on the wall moves in an instant. I hear footsteps but I can't see the cause of it. A cold breeze sends a chill down my spine. I blow a white cloud and my toes feel like ice cubes. Someone is whispering, I can't seem to understand it very well.

"Woman..."

It's calling me!

"Woman..."

What shall I do?!

"I'm still here, I didn't die..."

Who is it?

"I'm here."

I turned around and right in front of me, I see him standing there. His jacket is ripped, stained with blood and his head still half covered with the skull.

...

"Ulquiorra?"

I could feel my voice trembling. He reached out to me and placed two fingertips on my lips. He caressed them softly and he... smiled.

"I didn't die."

"How come you're here?"

"It seems you're the only one I could get through to. And you're the only one I wanted to see."

"It doesn't feel like you're here. I can't feel your touch, it only feels like a cold breeze."

"I'm not here, but I can take you with me. Don't worry, I won't kidnap you."

A sphere of darkness appeared in my room and it looked like some sort of portal.

"Meet me on the other side."

He vanished right through the door. I didn't know what was going on exactly, but I wanted to meet him again. I opened the portal and I saw a labyrinth.

"What is this?"
