Chapter 1: Is this passionate love?

Ulquiorra was making his usual rounds. Bringing breakfast to Orihime, as usual. You couldn't say that he truly hated seeing her. He actually loved seeing her. Over the past 3 months, he's has the untold felling for her. Every minute he spent with her was like a weird fantasy, an urge to "explore" her. Quietly, he opened the door to find her sleeping. He quietly walked over and sat next to the edge of the bed, gently stroking her cheek. She softly shivered at his touch. Her eyes fluttered gently. He stared into her gray eyes as she woke up in surprise, with tears forming at her eyes.

"Ul-Ulquiorra...?" Orihime said supporting herself on her elbows. He wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" She wrapped her arms around him, sobbing on his shoulder. After a few minutes, he wrapped his fingers around her chin and stared at her red eyes, slowly bringing his lips to her eyes, and licking her tears.

"Ulquiorra..."

She felt his hand lightly touch her waist, pulling her bottom of her top off. Lightly dragging his fingers on her stomach. His cold touch sending shivers down her spine. She arched her back. Soft moans came from her throat.

"Kiss me, Ulquiorra..." Orihime softly said wrapping her arms around his neck. And he did. Separating her soft, pink, lips with his dark, cold ones. Craving for more, he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Low, soft moans came from Orihime. As a low moan came from him. It was Ulquiorra who broke the kiss.

"Delicious." he whispered into her ear. His nose softly running across her neck. Orihime flustered a bright red. She held her words in her throat.

"Don't u like Ichigo?" Ulquiorra asked staring at her.

"No. He don't have the same cravings as I do for you." She said pushing him back, extending her arms at his sides, hovering over him. "I don't know how-"

Orihime was interrupted by Ulquiorra lips lightly pushing on hers, as she slowly felt herself pushing down on him. Until she finally stopped holding herself up n fell in to the bed. "Shh... don't talk." She ran a small smile across her face. She reached for his zipper on his jacket, when she suddenly stopped. She froze in the middle of her action, Ulquiorra looked at her curiously.

"Orihime? What's wrong?" he said leaning up.

"I..." She got up n walked away from the bed walking towards the window. And staring out at the half crescent moon on the dessert land known as Hueco Mundo. Ulquiorra stood up with his hands buried deep into his pockets. He swiftly made his way over to her. raping his arms around her waist. "Orihime, what's the matter?"

"... can't u fell it?"

"Fell what?" He asked opening his eyes. Just then he finally relised what he had ignored.

Rukia's spiritual pressure was decreasing rapidly.

Orihime shed more tears, holding her hands on her face. Ulquiorra spun her around, taking her hand off. Licking tears from her checks. She flustered. His cravings has sparked, it was hard for him to turn back now. But, now was the time. She shed tears over the black haired shinigami named Rukia Kutchiki. He wrapped his arms around her as her feelings of sadness poured out. He didn't care how long she cried, but, Ulquiorra did care if this was going to have her try and hurt herself again. Which he would not allow. He grabbed her shoulders and extended her a few inches lightly. "Ul-quiorra?"

"You have to swear to me while your here, that no matter who dies or gets injured, that you must never harm yourself; physical or mental state."

"But...-" She tried to say before he interrupted.

"Orihime. I couldn't live with myself if I saw you in such a state of sadness and despair." Ulquiorra said from his heart. Orihime was crying harder now.

"Ulquiorra..." He had pressed his lips once again on to hers. Between her sadness and now (he believes) her happiness, he didn't' t know what to do with her but only be their for her.

"But, we must keep our love a secret. Until this is all over." Ulquiorra said pulling her back.

"Alright."

With those words, the 4th Espada pulled over her breakfast. She ate normally like in the human world.

"Do you ever eat Ulquiorra?"

"Yes, with the other Espada. Theirs tea and some really nice food. We do have taste buds woman."

Back to calling her woman. I guess he still has to get used to these "flips" of attitude for her- no... their love. After she finished eating, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and wheeled the cart out of her room.

"I'll be back with lunch later."

He exited the room as the door shut quietly, locking stroked her cheek where Ulquiorra has kissed her. She blushed a bit and had some dirty thoughts travel through her mind. She laid down on her bed, replaying this morning's activities through her head over and over.
