This is my second Bleach fanfic and I'm writing it only because of the fact that I love the pairing OrihimeXGrimmjow. Please review.

Orihime sat in the confined room, staring down at her lap. [I hope Ichigo and the others understand...] She knew that since she made a deal with Ulquiorra, she could not go back on her word, or she would endanger the lives of her friends. She hummed a quiet tune to herself, trying to shut out the lonliness she felt. There was a knock at the door, and in came Ulquiorra. He came in 3 times a day to bring her food, but she hadn't the heart to eat it. Ulquiorra stared at the still full plates of stale food from the previous day. "Why won't you eat?" he asked, his voice uncaring and dull. Orihime muttered, "I'm not hungry." Ulquiorra set the plate down and said, "Aizen said you need food, so eat." Orihime averted her eyes to the floor and shook her head. Ulquiorra said, "Well, then, I will have to force you." He held her down while she struggled and with his free hand, shoved the food down her throat. Orihime choked violently, but swallowed the food. After swallowing, Orihime said, "Alright, I'll eat. Just please let me go." Ulquiorra let her go and Orihime caught her breath. She picked up the fork and started eating the food slowly. Ulquiorra said, "You may take all the time you want, but I'm not permitted to leave until you finish all of it."

She finished her food in about 20 minutes and Ulquiorra took her empty plate and her previous plates and left her room. Orihime waited until she couldn't feel his presence and sobbed softly. [I want to go home...]

Grimmjow Jaegerjaques was summoned by Aizen. Aizen said, "Grimmjow, inform Ulquiorra that his duties in taking care of our newest member are relieved. From now on, you will take care of her." Grimmjow protested, "Why do I have the be the fucking babysitter??" Aizen's face turned grim. "Are you defying my orders, Grimmjow?" he said, his voice dangerously low. Grimmjow muttered, "No." Aizen spoke, "Good. You are dismissed." Grimmjow bowed and stomped out of the grand hall.

Grimmjow walked down the hallway and saw Ulquiorra carrying a bunch of plates. Grimmjow crossed his arms and growled, "Ulquiorra, the basta--...er Aizen said to leave the girl to me." Ulquiorra's face remained impassive. "Of course," he said, without turning around. Then Ulquiorra stopped. "Grimmjow," he said. Grimmjow put his hands behind his head and said, "What the hell do you want?" Ulquiorra said, "Please refer to our superior as Lord Aizen. As number 6, you're not even close to having the privilage of calling him by his surname." Grimmjow rolled his eyes and growled, "Whatever." After he was sure Ulquiorra was gone, he muttered, "Fucking ass-kisser..." Grimmjow walked to the room with a picture of a butterfly on it and figured it was her's. He walked in to see a frail, trembling woman lying on her bed. He grunted and the sobbing stopped. Orihime sat up and turned to the azure eyed man. She stared at the floor and Grimmjow said irritatibly, "Oi, girl." Orihime, without even looking up, whispered, "Yes?" Grimmjow was tempted to ask her why she was crying, but decided against it. [She's just a whiny little human, what do I care about how she feels?] Grimmjow crossed his arms and said, "Lord Aizen, instructed me to watch over you, so you won't see Ulquiorra anymore." Orihime nodded as a sign that she heard him.

Grimmjow walked over to her and forced her to look up at him. He stared emotionlessly into her eyes, which were full with sadness, fear and a bit of anger. Grimmjow said, "What the fuck is wrong with you? You act like someone told you that you're gonna die as quiet you're acting, chick." Orihime smiled weakly, "How funny. I was just hoping that maybe I should just die. Then Ichigo can go home and not worry about my well-being." Tears slowly dripped from her eyes and since Grimmjow still had a grip on her chin, she just closed her eyes. Grimmjow growled in disgust. "That's the fucking stupidest thing that I've ever heard. If you're going to be here, chick, your ass better be useful. This shitty attitude is pathetic and making me sick."

He let her crumple to the floor. "I'm going to show you that you can do better without your damn friends," he muttered, walking out of the room and slamming the door. Orihime crawled to the couch and curled into a ball, crying herself to sleep. [Ichigo...]


Orihime woke up to the sound of footsteps. She was a bit shocked to see Ulquiorra holding a tray carrying a plate of food. Ulquiorra said, handing her the plate, "Grimmjow has some important matters to attend to, so just for today, I will be taking care of you." Orihime nodded and began eating, knowing the consequences if she refused. Ulquiorra watched her as she ate, making sure she ate all of it.

Grimmjow was walking down the hallway for a meeting when he saw Nnorita trying to flirt with Halibel. Halibel scoffed and walked off, but not before saying, "Hello, Grimmjow-san." Grimmjow grunted and Nnorita frowned. Grimmjow smirked and said, "Still not gettin' play from the females, eh Nnorita?" Nnorita furrowed his brows and said, "Whatever." Changing the subject he said, "I heard Lord Aizen has instructed you to watch over our little pet, Miss Inoue." Grimmjow growled and said, "Yeah, so the hell what? At least she's fucking hot to look at." Nnorita said, raising his eyebrows, "Really, you think so too? That's too bad, I already claimed her so back off." Grimmjow chuckled in amusement, "I don't really give a shit about her, so go on ahead." Nnorita was shocked to say the least, he wasn't expecting Grimmjow to say that.

Loly walked down the large hallway and said to herself, "I am sooo bored." She spotted Grimmjow and Nnorita talking. She walked over to the two men and whispered seductively in Grimmjow's ear. "Why hello, handsome. Are you going to revisit my room tonight?" she purred. Grimmjow flinched and pulled her arms off of his chest. "Go the hell away, Loly. I am not in the mood," he said, making both her and Nnorita's eyes widen. Nnorita grinned and said, "Grimmjow Jaegerjaques, Sexta Espada, doesn't want sex? That's a little overwelming. What's wrong with you, Grimmjow? Did you fall in love?" Grimmjow grumbled, "No, I'm just tired." He walked to his room, leaving a speechless Loly and Nnorita. Loly whined, "He got me all horny and now he goes to bed? Damn it." Nnorita said, "How about me and you go to my room for a quickie?" Loly sighed and said, "Yeah, fine." They walked to Nnorita's room.

Grimmjow got to his room and flipped over a chair, breaking it into tiny pieces. "What the hell is wrong with me?" he whispered. He couldn't figured out why he felt so...guilty.

Grimmjow's thoughts

I don't even care about that strawberry headed pansy and yet...when she said his name, it made me fucking mad. Does she like him or something? I'll have to make her forget about him. I'll be damned if I don't.

Orihime sat in her room looking out of the window and she sighed, not being able to cry anymore. She thought about how everyone must have felt. Tatsuki, she must be worried sick. Chad, Uryu, Rukia, Renji, Karin, Yuruichi...everyone. [At least they'll be safe.] Orihime whispered to herself, "I will not betray Aizen, no matter what happens. Even if I have to...help fight Ichigo-kun." [I'll make sure he doesn't die...]

How was that? I actually enjoyed this chapter. Please review. Ja ne.
