A/N: This is my first fanfic ( :

Disclaimer: I don't own bleach, or any of its characters.

When Orihime was brought to Las Noches, she was sure that she would be killed. However, she didn't know that she would die of boredom. She was to stay in her room until she was called upon by Aizen, which wasn't very often, so she mostly spent her time in her room.

Oh, how she missed the colour in her life, for the only colours that even existed here were black, white or grey. Her raven-haired guardian was not much of a help either. He would just sit there on her couch, silently watching her out of the corner of his eye so that she would not do anything out of the ordinary. Day after day, she would lie on her bed, thinking about her friends back in Karakura town and wondering when, or more precisely, IF they would rescue her.

Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, and still no sign of them. She was starting to wonder if they had forgotten about her.

Didn't they care about her? If they did, why hadn't they come yet? Why were they taking so long? Did they-

"Woman."

Her thoughts were interrupted by that emotionless arrancar, Ulquiorra.

"Eat.", he said in that monotone voice of his.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed the plate that he had placed before her. She looked down. Rice, vegetables and meat again. Wasn't there anything else to eat here? Her mind then strayed back to the days when she would cook those dishes that she made up out of the top of her head. Red bean paste sure would brighten up the food around here.

"Woman.", he said again.

"Huh?"

"Didn't you hear me? I told you to eat."

"Oh. Isn't there anything else to eat here?" , she asked.

"It's either this or I force feed you through a tube." , he said without a hint of emotion.

She obviously didn't want a tube stuffed down her throat, so she quickly picked up the plate and began eating.

The same routine continued day after day, with Orihime staring off into space and Ulquiorra interrupting her thoughts during dinner time. It was quite uneventful here in Las Noches, that is, until she was called to Aizen's throne room.

A/N: well that's it for chapter one! sorry if it's short, but the plot will continue to develop over the next few chapters. please rate and review, as this really helps me since this is my first fanfic.
