Just a small little warning. The chapter has mild sexual references. Mild to the fact that she almost sleeps with one of the characters in that kinda sorta but not really kinda way. There is no real sexual stuff that I think is bad, but just to warn those who don't like that kind of stuff.

Enjoy


Her heart began to sink as she paid close attention to the words of her would be hero. He attempted as hard as he could to explain to her that her friends were gone, or more that they had died painlessly. She just kept shaking her head as if she wouldn't or maybe even couldn't believe him. They can't all be dead, it was impossible. Though nothing in the Hueco Mundo was impossible, that fact had been proven more than a dozen times. But it didn't matter, he just said it over and over until she finally fell to the floor crying all the tears that had built up inside since she got here.

"You're lying. That can't be true. It just can't" Orihime babbled as she choked on her tears.

"Get up woman" Ulquiorra commanded. She didn't move. "Now"

Orihime slowly got up off the floor. "How is this possible? I thought you would at least try to save them".

"What lead you to that assumption?" She just looked numbly out her window. She didn't have the answer.

"I wonder what the soul society will do now" she wondered out loud.

"They think you are a traitor, they won't do anything unless they know of the Hōgyoku" he stated.

"I guess your right" she sniffled. He looked at her once more before he turned to leave.

"I will come again this evening with your meal" then he left.

She could feel her heart breaking. "It's all my fault" she muttered as she broke down in tears once she heard the door close. "If only I didn't go to his house that night, they would all be alive. I would do anything for them to just have forgotten about me."

"Anything?" a voice from behind her asked. She had heard that voice before, but she couldn't remember where.

"Yes" she answered without even turning around.

"That can be arranged"

Orihime quickly spun around to see who this person was. Hope began to build up inside of her. "Nnoitra? I don't understand. How can you help?" The fifth espada slinked up next to her.

"Well Pet if you can do something for me," he began to touch her hair" I can do something for you" She quickly stood up and began to walk as far away from him as possible. "Fine, I guess if you don't want to bring your friends back" he taunted and walked toward the door.

"Wait" she stopped him. "How are you going to be able to help?"

A smirk appeared on his face. "Don't forget Pet I'm an espada. I can do a lot of things."

"Are you sure" she asked hesitantly. He began top walk toward her again. Stopping just inches away from her face, he whispered in her ear.

"Of course" Orihime cringed at the thought of Nnoitra being this close to her.

"What exactly do I have to do?" she couldn't believe she was mildly considering the idea, but she did say she would do anything and she meant anything.

"Nothing" a monotone voice spoke. Nnoitra sighed as he slowly turned to see the last person he wanted to see. Orihime's eyes widened when she realized who was standing in the doorway.

"Ulquiorra? Why are you here?" she asked trying to hide how relived she actually was.

"Nnoitra, what are you doing?" he asked nonchalantly. Nnoitra quickly thought up a reason.

"I was trying to console Orihime. I heard her crying and thought I might help. But now that you're here, I guess I will go" he explained.

Ulquiorra turned his glance on Orihime, who had began to look out her window again. "Woman" he began "what exactly were you going to do?"

"I don't know" she uttered without turning to look at him.

"How do you not know?"

She turned and looked at him. Tears were pouring out of her eyes like her eyes were water facets. "What do you think I was going to do? I would do anything to have them safe, in fact, that's why I even came here. If I knew they were going to die, I wouldn't have even came here." she yelled.

"Had I not told you before they would all eventually die? You're acting as if you had no indication that they would die. I have told you more than once and now you act as if they could be brought back by sleeping with a perverted espada?" he retorted. This side of him frightened Orihime more than him threatening to force feed her. He wasn't promising to harm her, but him saying those words hurt her more than any physical harm he could do.

"I want you to leave," came her tearful reply. "I want you to leave now."

"You haven't eaten your meal yet."

"Leave and I'll eat it later, just get out."

"I might have considered that if you could be left alone without getting into any messes."

"I didn't get into any messes. You just came in at the wrong time."

"Yes, because you were handling the situation so well." Ulquiorra hissed. Orihime turned back to her window, defeated. "Now come eat your meal woman," he demanded.

"I don't want it"

"Fine," he said as he stepped out of the room. Orihime turned and walked over to her little white couch in the middle of her room.

'What is he up to? There is no way he would just give in that easily,' she thought 'maybe-' but before she could finish her thought Ulquiorra walked back in with one of the servants that that were carrying a chair of some sort. "What is that?" she asked. He ignored her question and kept his eyes going back and forth between the confused Orihime and the servant setting up the chair.

"I will give you one more chance, are you going to eat your meal or am I going to have to feed it to you?" he calmly asked. Orihime eyes widened with horror. "I will not ask you again."

"I said I'm not hungry" she said defiantly. Ulquiorra's eyes squinted, while he tried to figure her out.

"Leave us, I can handle her" he ordered the servant out of the room. Once the servant left he turned to Orihime and started. "Why do you want to be in pain woman?" Orihime just looked up at him not sure of what to say. She thought for a few more minutes before answering him.

"This is what I deserve," she began to explain. "My friends are dead because of me. If I didn't go see Ichigo that night, they would have just left me here and would still be alive." Her eyes only mildly watered as she spoke, she had cried almost all of her tears she had by now. "How can I eat food when I know they will never be able to have anymore food ever?"

A minute or so later Ulquiorra spoke. "So you plan to starve to death?"

"You don't get it, do you?" she sighed, "even if I wanted to eat, I can't bring myself to actually do it."

"Then you leave me no choice." He walked over to her a lifted her.

"What are you doing?" she shrieked.

"I told you, you left me no choice." He sat her in the freshly set up chair and began to strap her to it. "This will be painful." When he spoke those last words to her he didn't lie. For the next few hours her screams could be heard all over Los Noches.


So yea thats basically the first chapter.

I tried to keep them in character the best I could, even though I did have Orihime almost sleep with Nnoitra.

It makes sense in that kinda sorta but not really kinda way.

Yep so tell me what you think so far or if you're confused on something.
