He never really understood the woman.

She was...kind to him. Not in an annoying way like Orihime, but it was a kind of 'kind' that made him want to be around her more.

But that's what he didn't understand. Why was she so kind to him? Even after he told her to stay away she continued to be near him and hug him in a way that stirred... Something, in his gut.

When she looked at him, he felt as though it was just the two of them. When she touched him he felt as though he was on fire. When his name spilled from her lips and she looked at him in happiness...

He felt free.

Those were the only words he could use to describe it.

One day he asked her why she continuously stayed with him when everyone steered clear.

She answered-rather happily he might add-that he was her friend and friends stick together.

Afterwards, he often found himself thinking that her company was nice yet different from the annoying soul reapers around him.

He also often found himself wishing that they were more than friends.

Of course, the only thing that came after friendship, was love. But she didn't love him...

He was incapable of loving or being loved, so that was simply a distant dream.

He could still 'hope' and wish, though...

"Ulquiorra!"

A sudden body crashed into his, slim arms wrapping around his waist as a cheek began rubbing against his chest.

He looked down, the tiniest, not even noticeable, smile appeared on his lips.

"Hn?"

She smiled brightly at him, and he felt his whole world shift.

"Where have you been? You promised to walk me to the library!" She chirped happily, grabbing his hand and walking with him towards said place.

He thinks now, he understands what a heart is.


Cause you know when he 'died' in the anime, he was all reaching out for Orihime thinking 'I know what a heart is'.

That didn't happen.

Three Espada betrayed Aizen! Woot woot!
