Chapter Two
~Rukia~
It had been truly exactly six months since Byakuya died. I had moved on with his passing, and Ulquiorra had never shown his face to me. I take it as though we broke up…or worse. Maybe he's dead.
I shook my head. No! I wouldn't think like that! Ulquiorra was alive, just handling things in Heuco Mundo. Yeah, that's it.
I stayed with Ichigo Kurosaki. He's been a little different around me, but nothing that changed too much. I've felt as though he wouldn't let me out of his sight. He isn't as mean to me anymore nor is he trying to work anymore. Everything is just messed up.
I went back to school just a few weeks ago, and everyone acted as though I was never gone. They didn't ask me where I was, for I thought I still mourned over my brother. This isn't true.
Ichigo and I walked silently to school together. Although he seemed to buy thinking, I was more focus on the fact that he was the last one to see Ulquiorra. I had asked him about it but his response was "Unohana was just checking him up. I left right after" I'm not sure how much I believe of that statement but it's the only thing I have to go on.
Since last year I didn't get to be in the talent show this year I was. It was only a month away. I was very excited. I just have to addition. I heard, from Orihime and Tatsuki that more singers were going to be in there so I'd had to be really good.
Ichigo followed me into the auditorium. Some one was already singing. I knew the deep voice anywhere. Tear filled my eyes. Ulquiorra.
So she said what's the problem baby? Oh, come on, come on So I said I'm a snowball running Well baby I surrender These lines of lightning Come on, come on Oh, come on, come on We're accidentally in love Accidentally in love
What's the problem I don't know
Well, maybe I'm in love
(Love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer will it take to cure this?
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love
(Love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
'cause Everybody's after love
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies belting out
Sunlight shimmering love
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love, oh
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once upon a time in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally
Accidentally Come on, come on Love
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
and the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her
I'm in love
"Ulquiorra?"
Ulquiorra looked down toward me and smiled then his eyes shifted to Ichigo and frowned.
I ran onto the stage and hugged him tightly. He smiled sweetly at me, putting his hand around my waist, and his chin on my head. "I was so worried about you!" I couldn't stop the tears.
"I know. I am sorry. Are you here to addition, love?" he asked, letting me go so he can look at me.
"Yes but you're here and we need to talk!" I smiled wanting to kiss him so bad.
"After your addition, alright? I know how much it means to you"
"Yes"
She went to the stage and I felt my palms sweat. I've never really sang in front of Ulquiorra before. Sure, he would sneak into my practicing but I never did it directly.
The music started. I knew this song…the song I had picked…
If there's a prize for rotten judgment, Doesn't matter who'd ya think you're kidding? No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no I thought my heart had learned its lesson You keep on denying Woah you're way off base No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no You're way off base No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no Ooooooh Sha la la la la la...(sigh)

My head is screaming "get a grip, girl!"
"Unless you're dying to cry your heart out!" Ooooh oooh

The scene wont play

At least out loud

"Results will be in the gym in an hour" the teacher stood and left.
I ran to Ulquiorra and hugged him.
"You were great" he said, kissing my head.
"And you where too" I smiled. "If we get in then lets do a duet together!" He nodded and kissed me.
I felt the heat from his mouth on mine.
"Well, I feel left out. I'm going to class" Ichigo stormed off and I felt a little bad. I sighed and leaned my head on Ulquiorra's shoulder.
"Don't trust him" Ulquiorra said, sitting down in one of the chairs.
"Why not? I've known him for years"
"Because, the day Byakuya was killed by Kaien, Ichigo was with me and he…he well likes you. He wants you. I don't like the way he looks at you"
"We are just friends. You can trust me" I answered.
"That's not what I meant. I know you won't cheat on me, I meant he might want to steal you away from me"
I sighed and sat on his lap. "Like I said. We're just friends. I've never once thought of him as nothing more"
"Alright. I trust you"
"Kaien?" I asked.
"Dunno. He wasn't in Heuco Mundo when I got there. And he hasn't shown up. I think he's still in the Land of the Living"
"Oh"
Deep inside I was scared…terrified.
"Rukia?" he said.
"Yes?" I answered, leaning my head on his chest.
"I have to kill you…"
