This is my first fanfic, don't judge me ... I do not own Bleach, Hueco Mondo, Orihime, Ulquiorra or any other characters.
Chapter One It was night or so I thought, but does it really matter? Its always dark in Hueco Mondo, no matter what time of day. Suddenly a dim light appears, as if a door was opening. " Are you spacing out again." said a man's voice. Orihime turned around to see Ulquiorra standing on the opposite side of the room with a hint of a smile on his face. Orihime stood there shocked. 'Was he really smiling?' she thought. He slowly started circling her, as a predator zeroing in on his prey. The smile never leaving his face.
"The time for daydreaming is over, accept your fate. Struggling is useless, your path was already chosen for you the moment Aizen realized your powers."
Backing away she slowly gasped. "My powers?" she whispered. "I'm of no importance-"
"Quiet" he softly said. " My lord wishes to see you" Ulquiorra turned away, glancing over his shoulder. " Come. We mustn't keep my lord waiting."
Clutching the fabric at her chest, nodding, she quickly follows. The corridor is quiet, the only sounds were their footsteps and the sound of Orihime's breathing, which sounded thunderous in the silence of the dark hall. Her large frightened eyes scanning the
path, in search of a way out.
"Escape is not an option" he coldly said. Crushing her hopes with that one sentence. Swallowing the lump that had formed in her throat, holding back a sob, she continued on. 'Where would she go?' she thought frantically. She knew they would find no matter where she turned, putting the others in danger. 'Ichigo' she thought. 'I'm doing this for you."
