For The Heart

Aizen sat atop his throne in Las Noches, while surveying his surroundings. To his immediate right was Gin , with his signature smile in place and Tousen was on his direct left. To the right of his throne were five intruders who had been captured and brought in. Every one of them were on their knees, with their arms secured behind their back, being restrained by an espada.
Closest to him was Chad, who was held captive by Grimmjow. His head was bleeding from a head wound and his arm had been broken. To Chad's right was Ishida, with Barragan holding him down. Both Ishida's hands were broken and bleeding. To Ishida's right was Renji, with his hair in tangled, messy and bloody mess was held by Szayel. To Renji's right was Rukia, who was held by Harribel. She was swimming in and out of consciousness due to her many wounds.
At the end of the line was Ichigo, who was held by Starrk. Ichigo had the most wounds of all, he resembled more a bloody piece of meat at a butcher's shop than a man. Yet he was still struggling with all the might he had left to escape Starrk's steel grip. But Ichigo was no match for Starrk. So he struggled in vain. Lilinette stood close by, with Ichigo's, Rukia's, and Renji's zanpakutos.
In the middle of the room, facing Aizen, fearfully casting constant glances at her injured friends was Orihime, the girl they had come to save. She had to constantly resist the urge to run to her friends and heal them, but she knew she would only get so far.
Standing close behind her was her captor and guard, Ulquiorra. He was keeping an especially close eye on her, he could almost feel her desire to help. Ulquiorra turned his gaze from Orihime to Aizen, wondering why he had gathered them all. Scattered randomly around were Zommari, Aaroniero, and Yammy. All the fraccion were behind their masters.
"Ulquiorra." Aizen began in his friendly tone.
"Yes, Lord Aizen?" Ulquiorra said in his soft monotone, causing Orihime to look at him.
"It turns out, we no longer have any use for the girl." Aizen continued in a silky voice. Ulquiorra's eyes widened minutely. "So I want you to dispose of her. Here and now, in front of her precious friends." At this, the rescue groups struggles increased, tenfold.
Aizen took his eyes off Ulquiorra to smile mockingly at them, for five seconds before returning his gaze to Ulquiorra. It wasn't a lot of time, but it was enough. Ichigo continued to yell not even noticing Starrk's miniscule nod. Starrk then shifted to leaning on his left foot, causing a small rustle of awareness down the aligned espada. Orihime looked at Ulquiorra and said three words.
"I forgive you." She said, only loud enough for him to hear, looking kindly at Ulquiorra, with tears swelling in her eyes. Ulquiorra unsheathed his sword slowly and faced Orihime. Orihime closed her eyes and tried to block out the sound of her friends desperate cries.
Ulquiorra raised his sword and it hit it's intended target. Orihime gasped as she opened her eyes to see Nnoitra struck down instead of her. With surprising swiftness, Ulquiorra turned to attack Aizen, but his blade was blocked by Tousen, who was then thrown by Gin.
Starrk, Barragan, Harribel, Grimmjow and Szayel all sprang to action. Releasing their captives and dropping them to the ground. Ichigo looked on shocked at the scene, trying to get up, but too weak. As was Rukia and Renji. Chad and Ishida were powerless with their arm and hands broken.
Suddenly as all hell broke loose in Las Noches, Lilinette and Harribel's fraccion came and dragged them a little bit away from the fight, close enough to see but far away so they would be in no immediate danger. They were soon joined by Ulquiorra, who set Orihime down and whispered into her ear. Orihime shook her head frantically.
"Woman, you are to do as I say, you worthless piece of trash, you have no cause to worry about me, I am not your friend, anything kindness I have showed you was just Aizen trying to get you on his side, we are not doing this for you so leave, while I feel generous enough to let you and your friends leave here alive. If you do not, I will not hesitate to kill your friends before you then kill you. So leave now trash." Ulquiorra said loudly, glaring at her. She gasped softly as he opened a gargantua. Her friends quickly jumped through giving Ulquiorra suspicious looks as Orihime gave Ulquiorra one last heartbreaking look.
"Trash." He said while still looking at her disdainfully. A tear slid down her cheek as she left. Only after she was gone did Ulquiorra allow sadness to show. But he quickly returned to the task at hand, destroying Aizen.
He sonidoed in and stood before Aizen who had flung Barragan's unmoving body to the floor. He walked slowly to Aizen, who smiled mockingly at Ulquiorra. Aizen removed his zanpakuto and Ulquiorra lunged.
