Enigmatic emerald

Prologue
An Encounter that Nobody Knew
Hueco Mundo
Days Before The Final Battle
Ichigo and his friends had arrived in Hueco Mundo to rescue Inoue Orihime and decided to split to fight. Through the large structure of Las Noches there was a violet eyed petit shinigami that ran in search of her opponent. Her pace was constant and her eyes had determination that grew with each step she took.
She kept running with her steady speed until she saw something-one; she saw him.
Five meters ahead deep emerald eyes stared at her.
She positioned herself in fighting mode and took out her zanpakuto; ready to fight. Two entire minutes passed and he did not move; not a single bit. His emerald eyes were locked into hers, as if analyzing her, and if it was possible, hypnotizing her.
'What a beautiful color,' she thought.
Suddenly, the arrancar opened his mouth and asked, "What is your name, woman?"
Rukia could not help but blink twice. Was he really asking for her name? Why would he? From the reports she had seen about him, she knew that he was an arrancar who hardly showed interest in-anything.
She did not break eye contact and answered, "Why would you want to know, Arrancar?"
Even though she knew his name from the reports, she did not want to call him by it. When he had spoken, his eyes were cold and he had called her 'woman'. He was her opponent and she wanted to act as cold. Besides, she did not like to be called 'woman'. She understood why he had called her 'that', but something in the way he had said it (as if she was less than him) had made her angry and hurt her pride.
Finally, the emerald eyed arrancar spoke again, "Mere curiosity. If you do not want to tell me its fine. I have better things to do," his voice was monotone and emotionless like his eyes; like his entire being.
Rukia knew that she was not obliged to answer, yet something in his eyes that resembled disappointment (although it was impossible) made her, "My name is Kuchiki Rukia."
His eyes widened briefly at her response, but rapidly returned to their dullness state. The arrancar had thought she was not going to give an answer because of her previous behavior. On the other hand, Rukia was surprised of his amazement (though she had perceived disappointment earlier), for she had noticed how his eyes had widened.
"Anyway, I have things to do. See you later, Rukia," the arrancar's voice came out robot like as always, but the way he said her name was somewhat different. She could not understand it completely, but it seemed that his voice had warmth when pronouncing her name.
She broke out of her thoughts and realized that he did not plan to fight her.
Rukia looked into his eyes as if looking for an explanation, but the only words that came out from her mouth were "See you later, Ulquiorra."
Ulquiorra tried not to show bewilderment as she spoke his name and then he left with sonido.
Rukia stood alone in one of Las Noches corridor, and she could not help but smile. "See you again…," she whispered.
Hi guys! I am back...but with a new story. I sincerely apologize to all the people that are reading Cold Darknes because I have not upload. Sorry! :(
But! The truth is that my favorite shipping on all earth is UlquiRuki! I've read many stories of this pair, and most of them (if not all) are incomplete, oneshots or short... so I've put a goal to myself : I'll do this story long and finsh it! I hope you like it and... don't forget to follow, fav, and most of all review! I want to hear what you think about it :D Also, this chapter is short because it is the prologue. I promise next one is going to be longer! Thank you for reading!
