Author's Notes: This is an idea that I got from the doujin by BLOW called "Never Land #01".
From the time that Ulquiorra had come and said the words, "Come with me, women," to her while he had dealt with the shinigami- Orihime had a quick feeling that she had seen him somewhere before.
During her captivity in Hueco Mundo, the feeling of knowing Ulquiorra began to grow stronger each time she saw him, but she never asked him anything about it.
There were brief images that would break through the barrier her young mind had tried to build up. Images of angry faces that were yelling, and hands coming towards her that would intend to do harm. But... there were also too short flashes of someone in almost all white. A person with a sad face, maybe? Taking her tiny hand into his... and even possibly holding her close?
And the answer comes to her suddenly. Up there on the top of the dome, as Ulquiorra is turning to ash and disintregrating into the wind with his hand reaching towards her.
"Are you scared, woman?" He asks.
"Never," she replies, and reaches out to hopefully take his hand into her own.
