Ulquiorra stopped in the white hallway. The echoes of steps disappeared in the stone walls around him. Only silence remained. His piercing green eyes sharply scanned his surroundings. He could be sure someone had followed him. The steps he had heard only a moment ago, still whispered in his mind. He sighed to himself, and slowly turned around. Lately he had been so preoccupied in his own mind, maybe his imagination was playing with him. He yelled at himself in his own mind for being so foolish.
He lowered his eyes and continued to walk firmly and elegant towards the decorated marble door in front of him.
If anyone knew. If Aizen knew. A feeling of pleasure rushed into his mind, dark pleasure.
"crack".
His body froze. An image of a beautiful woman, her hair flowing with light as from a newborn sun, danced in his mind. Her face was warm and smiling.
Orihime. In a flash he was in front of her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked strictly.
Orihime blushed in a very embarresed way, she held her hands tightly together in a nervous fashion. Her eyes rolled from side to side while she struggled to find words. She remembered the moment the door closed behind his coattails as he left her room. The feelings rushing inside her as darkness filled her up, and the sense of being alone.
She had run to the door, only to find it unlocked. And at the time, it had seemed a pretty good idea to use that opportunity and play stalker to the espada. She lowered her eyes and guilty looked at the white floor, she knew there were dangerous individuals around in this place. He was probably infuriated by her sudden and rash action.
"I was alone", she began," and I.. ehh.. didn't want you to go."
She looked at him determined. " Don't leave me like that Ulquiorra".
He watched her calmly, almost like his eyes were smiling at her. As if he actually had been happy to see her. It felt like an eternity; while both eyes were closely locked on the other. At last he broke the silence and lowered his look, she tilted her head to the side.
Something popped into her mind.
"By the way, Ulquiorra, what were you up to?"
She smiled teasingly and almost knowing she had caught him in something. His careful bodylanguage said it all, he was up to something. Ulquiorra, you have a secret; she thought to herself. And now her curiosity was unstoppable, there were no way around it.
His answer shocked her.
"Come Woman".
He opened the door and let the pure moonlight flow into the hallway. His look was peaceful as he made move to her to join him on the outside. She took his hand and followed him with soft and swift movements. Their silky white coats curled up together behind them as the refreshing wind blew in their faces. The moon lay low in the dark sky of Hueco Mundo. White desert as far as you could see. She felt his strong arms and the surprisingly warm skin, calmly holding her in a protective grasp. The sand rushed peacefully between her toes. He looked at her, the moon behind him gave his pale face a gloryfied look. She smiled.
"Are you scared", he said.
"I am not", she responded.
By her answer, he drew his sword elegantly. He muttered out some words before the sky above them transformed into a lost darkness. Her eyes widened by the mere sight of his true form. She gasped, as the long slick tail circled around her. His wings made love to her pale limbs as they whisked past her skin. His hot breath tickled on her neck. She let his soft ravenblack hair glide through her fingers in a tender grasp.
"Woman..", he whispered seductively in her ear.
