Thanks for reading the story!
This is chapter 1 of UlquiHime Adventure In The Box.
The title of this chapter is also the name of the first arc.
Disclaimers: I do not own Bleach and their characters (definitely); they are all masterpieces from Kubo-sensei~
CHAPTER 1: WHITE HIBISCUS
After a reluctant moment, he finally let go of her.
They were looking at a sudden change of their surroundings in surprise.
For some reasons, under their feet was not a carpet of green grasses anymore.
There are flowers.
White flowers.
Now, under their feet was a carpet of white flowers and green grasses.
Since when did they appear?
Although both Ulquiorra and Orihime were stepping on those flowers, the flowers didn't get crushed.
Just like those grasses.
If these were illusions, then his eyes would surely know. But he couldn't figure out.
And the oddest thing was the more steps Ulquiorra and Orihime walked together on the green grass field; the more flowers appeared on their path. It didn't apply when they walked separately though.
While Ulquiorra tried to figure out what had just happened here, Orihime seemed looking happy when she saw those flowers. "Look look, Ulquiorra! It's flower. I wonder what kind of flower it is."
"Hibiscus."
Orihime startled with his reply. She didn't catch on his word. "Eh? What did you say?"
"The flower is hibiscus." Ulquiorra repeated his word.
"Ulquiorra, you know about flower?" Orihime was surprise. She didn't know that Ulquiorra was into flower. Somehow Ulquiorra and flower (and flower ring and flower bed and flower bath) didn't go well together. Her imagination began to run wild.
"No. I don't." Luckily that his answer cut off her odd thought.
But Orihime was still puzzled, "Then why do you know this flower is hibiscus?"
"Actually, of all flowers, I only know this one." Ulquiorra stated out his reason.
"Eh? How come?" Did this flower have any special meaning to you?
Ulquiorra kept himself in silent after her question for a long moment.
It looked like he gave himself away too much. But it was too late to take it back.
And why did things like that always happen to him?
"It has the same name of your power." He replied with his softest voice of ever.
JinxJen's note:
The title was inspired from the title of yupon's fic "White Hibiscus ~ Filament."
In other words, that I got inspiration while I read the meaning of white hibiscus, and I make this arc for all about hibiscus with UlquiHime.
If it could be possible, I want to present this arc to yupon as a "thank you" for her Ulquiorra's great fic.
Next chapter, we will get to see how Ulquiorra can be able to into flower.
