AN: well, after posting my crack and complaint 20 min. story, I got to thinking, why not write what I felt should have happened? Well, here it is. This is my opinion. No characters, as far as I will say, will be too out of character and everything will hopefully carry the same air as the real fight did or should have.

Also note, I'll be breaking boundaries that Kubo Tite may have or may not have thought of. Please enjoy a serious addition to Fan Fiction by me.

"You cannot be saved, Women, your friends will not come in time."

What a lovely way to start it all off. The removal of hope, the loss of comfort. That is what Orihime lacked at the moment, for all she had was a cold man, a statue of authority, a creature of evil, Ulquiorra Schiffer. Yet, even in this dark hour, in this time of loss, her friends would show up, to help her. Of course, she did have a feeling of why she couldn't help herself, why couldn't she reach freedom through her own means?

"Are you scared of me, women?" Ulquiorra asked his normally cold and demanding voice prevalent. She did not know how to truly answer him. For what he represented, that evil that she could not understand could exist, she was afraid of. Yet he himself was not a being of fear. But yet, she felt herself answer, as if unwillingly.

"Y-y-yes."

The arrancar closed his eyes for a second, then reopened them. He raised his hand, his fingertips placed against her chest. Orihime's eyes widened, knowing what was to happen.

"Then die with that fear, with the loss that you feel."

She felt him begin to press hard. She seemed to be hearing her chest cave in from his pressure, as he was prepared to kill her. Yet, before she lost her feeling of life, someone pushed her away from his hand. She was knocked to the floor, yet was safe. She looked up, wondering who it would be, who would be the one to save her from the death that was about to come.

"Inoue, are you alright."

Orihime's eyes widened. For the one who was there, was not the one she expected.

Ishida Uryu.

Chapter 1: The Sparrow and the Demon

Ulquiorra looked at the man, the Quincy, before him. He knew this pest was not to be feared, his power not even close to his own.

"I suggest you get out of my way, trash, before I remove you permanently." He said to the proud Quincy. His hands were already back, ready to strike the man easily in the chest. Ishida chuckled, pressing his glasses against his eyes.

"Maybe you shouldn't underestimate your opponent before you start to fight them." Ishida said, raising his arm, his spirit bow forming. He brought it forward, before he Hirenkayued to the side of Ulquiorra, launching a barrage of his small spirit arrows towards his foe.

Of course, this was not a hard thing for Ulquiorra to dodge in itself, or even walk through, as he easily brought his hand up, forcing his spirit pressure upon the arrows. Each one made a loud pop as they were destroyed by the pressure exerted. Ishida's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Don't think that cheap trick can help you, trash." Ulquiorra said, Sundoing behind Ishida. He brought his left foot up, kicking him in the ribs, sending the proud Quincy flying into a nearby wall. The force of his body being flung was enough to shatter it inwards, causing most of the wall to collapse to the floor, ishida sadly being on the bottom of the rubble.

"Pssh, this is really all you can do? Truly, you are less than what you claimed." Ulquiorra stated. "I don't need to see anymore to tell you will never match me."

Ishida coughed, a few of his ribs broken, blood sputtering from his mouth. Yet he still chuckled. "got you." He said, lifting his right hand, pressing something in it.

An explosion happened under Ulquiorra's feet, reaching upward, consuming him in the blast. Orihime watched in ah, as Ishida had outmaneuvered Ulquiorra. She looked towards him, eyes widened.

"Ishida…"

As Uryu watched the fireball engulf the arrancar, he began to shift the rocks around him, starting to try to get up from the rubble, but in vain. Orihime snapped out of her daze for a second, going over to help him. She moved a fairly large rock from his back, allowing him to get up with much more ease.

"Thank you, Inoue."

"Your welcome Ishida-kun." Orihime replied, giving a small smile to her savior, who smiled back a little. The two seemed to have forgotten about the opponent still in front of them.

They heard a cough, which snapped them from their gaze. Standing before them, with only the left side of his shirt missing, was that demon, that Arrancar, Ulquiorra Schiffer.

"Surprisingly I fell for that." The demon stated, making one small cough." I had not expected you to have an Anti-Arrancar mine planted so well. You are a little more of a nuisance than I first thought."

He raised his finger, a green light forming on the tip. "Cero."

Ishida worked quickly, grabbing Orihime and Hirenkayued out of the way, though he could not go too far for his ribs and extra weight strained him. The beam of energy caused a hole in the wall behind Ishida, the rest going out over the sand.

Ishida looked up, ready for the next attack, but in surprise and horror, found the Arrancar gone. Well, not gone per say, for the next moment, Ishida felt a hand go through his chest, piercing his heart.

"ISHIDA-KUN!!" Orihime screamed, backing away quickly. For Ulquiorra had used the moment of distraction to Sundo behind Ishida and pierce the prideful Quincy through his heart.

"Truly, you are full of surprises. Right when I begin to get serious with you, you fall down dead, like the trash you really are." Ulquiorra said, sliding his hand out from his chest. "A pity."

Orihime looked in horror as Ishida fell to the ground, completely lifeless. She looked at the demon, which now had her back in his grasp. His green eyes looked fiercely at her, the want to kill her, humiliate her, and mock her there. He grabbed her wrist, pulling her close to him. Her face was close to his, barely an inch away.

"Now, women, do you see that no one can save you." He said, his voice actually mocking of her, though barely. He easily kicked Ishida's body away, his carcass tumbling away towards the hole that had been formed by the Anti-Arrancar mine. Orihime watched in horror as it fell over the edge, into the abyss below.

"Ishida…" She said softly, tears forming in her eyes, wondering why she couldn't have done something, anything to save him from the fate he had been delt.

"ULQUIORRA!!" yelled one man, the only one that had a chance against the demon. Orihime looked stunned as Ichigo Kurosaki came launching out of the whole, the body of Ishida upon his shoulders. He gently laid the now dead Quincy down. He looked the Arrancar in the eyes.

"You will pay for this and everything else you have done." Ichigo said, pointing his sword at the demon before him. Ulquiorra chuckled a bit, releasing Orihime, drawing his sword.

"Very well, let us see if you can make me pay."
