Thank you LD-2015 for the first review! :D I'm so glad you liked it! I hope I don't disappoint with the continuations! Thank you also to all those that Favorited/Followed!
I apologize for the late update! Here is chapter 2!
Oh, no no no no no no no no… This is not happening! I was still screaming. This is so fucking NOT happening! There is no way this is some "oh shit, she fell into another world" stories! What am I, the main character to some weird ass shoujo manga? No! I was out of breath, so for the moment, the screaming stopped. I scooted myself backwards against the nearest wall and cradled my about-to-explode head in my quivering palms.
Alright. Calm down. Let's be calm. Ulquiorra was suddenly in front of me, and I let out a sound between a squeak and a squawk. I hadn't seen him move. Of course not! He's fucking Ulquiorra! Most OP Espada because he's got TWO resurreccion forms. Don't know about him vs. Stark...ah, DOES THAT EVEN MATTER RIGHT NOW?! I squished my eyes shut again as tight as I could. Okay, okay, so I got dragged into this world by the...hougyoku. God I haven't even named her yet. She said she was going to grant my heart's desire. What...did I ever ask to get pulled into this make-believe world by Kubo Tite? No! No, I don't believe I fucking did! Like, ya, it might be nice to meet Ulquiorra, but let's face it, he's more inclined to killing me than fucking me...HA! I scoffed. That's just sad.
"What do you think you're doing, woman?" Ulquiorra said emotionlessly. Oh yes, just ask me what the fuck I'm doing. I HAVE NO IDEA! I let out a nervous laugh.
"You wouldn't believe…" I said nervously. He watched me silently.
Okay, so for some god damn reason, I'm currently stuck in my own story, or Tite Kubo's...not sure yet. The Hougyoku is a girl, well hell, I'm in said girl's body, so...mine? I haven't even thought up of what I was going to do with the girl! How the hell is this going to play out? Oh god, I can't believe this is happening! Why me?
"Can I please be alone for a minute?" I asked meekly without looking. He was silent, but after a few moments, he strode towards the door and closed it silently behind him again. I took a deep breath and scooted back towards the mirror. It was a lot harder than I had thought. I guess I made the hougyoku a little bit too weak. I slapped myself mentally for my own stupidity.
Staring at the stranger in the mirror, I spoke, "If you're there, you better fucking say something. You've got a lot of explaining to do!" She didn't move. I was glaring at my own reflection. Oh god, now I really belong in the loony bin. I'm talking to a god damn mirror!
I tried again, "You're going to bring me here and then leave me, is that it?" No answer, "I didn't fucking ask for this you bitch!"
"Yes, you did." A beautiful and yet ghostly sing-song voice whispered in my head.
"You. You really need to stop doing that. It's creepy enough to be in your body. Can you stop...doing that, your little 'whisper in your head' bullshit? It's seriously creeping me out!" I berated.
"Can't be helped. You're in control now. I cannot speak aloud without a body." She answered matter of factly.
I tsked. There was a boat load of questions I had for her, but I started with a simple one, "Why did you bring me here?"
Her giggle rang through my head and I shivered involuntarily. God, this was starting to seem like a horror movie. This is the part where I see a little girl in a white dress drift by and then she magically appears where I least want her to be, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
"Didn't I tell you already?" She continued, "I am the Hougyoku; it is power to manifest dreams. You wished for it, so I granted it."
"O-kay...well I'm taking it back." I smiled nervously, "I wish to be back in my own world and out of this wacked-job of a place!" She giggled again.
"GOD! Can you PLEASE stop DOING that!" I rubbed the goosebumps that had risen along my arms.
"I can't do that. It is not your true desire. Plus, I am exhausted. Granting your wish took a lot out of me. For now, I must sleep…" Her voice grew quieter. I paused, waiting for her to continue.
"No. No, you didn't just leave me hanging." I sweated nervously, "Hey!" No answer.
"Tell me you didn't just disappear and leave me in your body in my own messed up world with a WHOLE BUNCH OF HOLLOWS THAT CAN KILL ME WITH THEIR PINKY TOES IN THEIR SLEEP!" I nearly shouted in one breath. My chest heaved and I felt the tears stinging at my eyes again.
Oh god, this isn't happening...Ohgodgodgodgodgod… I took another deep breath and looked around the room, praying that it had changed since the last I looked. Nope.
"Nope...not a dream. This is...totally happening…I am...so fucked." I whimpered. Okay, okay, okay. Calm down, Scarlett! You can do this! You're the author god damn it! You created this damn place! You've watched all 366 episodes of Bleach, you know what happens! Okay, here was one of those moments when I wished I had paid more attention, and MAYBE read the manga, because what the hell. God! Why didn't I pay attention! I am so stupid!
I blew out breath from my mouth. "You can do this!" I said to myself. Let's start by figuring out what this body can do. I did make her sort-of OP. I hadn't even decided on her abilities yet... I closed my eyes. She can use the cero. I wanted her to...be a weak damsel in distress so Ulquiorra can come save her. I face palmed. Scarlett, you IDIOT! What makes you think Ulquiorra is going to save her anyway? Honestly, the man's about as warm as the arctic ice caps. Oh ya, under the pretense of him "protecting" me. Ya, totally. I don't see him being too fazed about me losing several limbs, as long as I'm still breathing...Grimmjow on the other hand...well, he DID save Orihime when she got ganged up on by the stupid hollow bitches. Maybe I should sweeten up to him instead?...Yup, appeal to his kind heart! I buried my face in my hands. I was so screwed.
Using the wall for support, I staggered carefully to my feet and flexed the muscles in my new body. I felt about the same as when I had a fever, minus the brain-frying of course. The I-can't-move-worth-shit part was exactly alike though. Cero. That's the only thing I got going for me right now. I should at least learn how to fire the thing just in case I need it again. Or, WHEN I need it again. How did I imagine it to be fired...gathering of reiatsu? I tried concentrating on my finger tips. Nothing happened. The fuck? I concentrated harder. Nothing. Great. I tried again and this time, tensing up my entire body, trying to push something out of me. No red glowing orbs. I scoffed. Why does this remind me of what happened with Ichigo when he was learning how to gather kidou in the spirit cannon ball thingie. I can't even remember the name. Fuck. Oh, maybe...I tried again, and envisioned a dark black circle and me diving into it. My fingertips became warm and slightly glowed red, but no butt-raping orb. I cursed under my breath.
WHY IS THIS SO HARD?! I continued trying to manifest the cero for the hour or so. Or that's how long it seemed anyway. I was interrupted by footsteps in the hallway outside. I stopped what I was doing momentarily and realized I was still butt naked. Scanning the room, I found the clothes Ulquiorra had brought placed on the couch. I limped over hastily and tried to make sense of the clothing before the footsteps stopped in front of my door. The door knob turned and I was still nude when Ulquiorra stepped into the room again with his same stoic face. I let out a scream and ducked behind the couch with the clothes used as a shield in front of me. I glared at him from over the couch.
"Knock and wait before you come in, will you?!" I scalded. He merely looked at me with that same infuriating face of his. Granted, it was hot. But still!
"Your nudity is of no concern of mine." He said answered, making no move to leave, "Aizen-sama requires your presence."
"Okay, I'll go. Let me get changed first." I answered, still glaring at him.
"Then get changed." He said, still staring at me.
I was incredulous, "Um, can you get out please?"
He was silent for a moment before he replied, "You are the hougyoku. You merely wear the form of a female, but you are an object. I do not understand your concern with feminine modesty."
My GOD was he being difficult. And here I wanted to fall in love with this guy! I blushed madly while I tried to slip into the clothes while crouching behind the couch. While trying to put the dress on, I strained my thigh too much and it gave out. I let out a squeal before I fell backwards onto my ass. And suddenly, he was there, kneeling inches away from me while I was half dressed catching me before my head hit the wall.
My face burned. I mumbled a thanks while I covered myself with the rest of the yet-to-be-worn clothes. He didn't move, only stared at me from inches away. His hands were still on my back and arm from when he caught me. It put his knees right up against my own. I was suddenly very aware of my nudity and how cool his hands were against my bare back that seemed to have caught fire. And then my eyes fell to his emerald green eyes and I lost myself. My hand involuntarily moved to touch his face, and he didn't move away when my fingers came into contact with his cheek. It was very cool to the touch and unimaginably smooth. So soft… My eyes drifted downwards to his lips. They were frozen in a frown, but I wanted to touch it, kiss it, and see if it was just as soft… I wanted his arms to hold my naked body while we kissed and have his hands run all over my body. My lips parted involuntarily as I let out a shaky breath and leaned towards him. He still didn't move away. I was out of control, but I didn't care. Here was the man that I dreamed of on so many countless nights. I wanted him, I wanted him so much I couldn't control myself anymore. My hands went to cradle his face as I leaned in all the way. Our lips connected and I felt myself whimper in excitement. I moaned against his frozen lips and peeked through my eyelashes to see his face. His eyes were wider, as if he had been surprised by what I had done. I felt his body tense before he slowly relaxed into my hands again. His arms were frozen by his side, but they weren't pushing me away, so I continued. I moved in closer and pressed my bare chest to his while my lips worked against his. They were unresponsive, but I was determined, not to mention horny. My tongue darted out in a warm line against his bottom lip and I felt him tense again. His emotionless mask was finally beginning to crumble, and for the first time, I saw surprise and uncertainty. I kissed him repeatedly until finally, I felt the first nudge against my own lips. My eyes opened in surprise. His arms were suddenly around me as he pulled me into him and kissed me back almost as fiercely as I had kissed him. His eyes were closed while his arms ran up and down my body, exploring me. It was my turn to tense in surprise. And just as sudden as it had started, it was over. Ulquiorra was suddenly standing against the far wall, away from me. One hand covered his mouth with wide eyes staring down at me. My mind was still reeling from what had just happened that I didn't have time to respond.
"Get dressed, woman." Ulquiorra said, back to his emotionless self as he disappeared out the door with and slamming it behind him with a loud bang. I knelt stunned.
What just happened?...
