Orihime had always loved to cook, especially for her friends. If nothing else, she could at least do this for them. It was all she had.

(Then that got taken away too.)

The first meal that Ulquiorra gave her was some bland mashed potato with too much milk and not enough salt.

(If she wasn't here by choice, she'd have declined.)

(If she wasn't frightened, lonely and lost, she'd have offered to share.)

(If she wasn't certain she had no choice, she'd have flown to the kitchens.)

But she was. So she ate, because the food was all she had.

I present to you the first in a series of 30 drabbles, one for every day of January 2010! Gah, it's hard getting used to writing 2010.
