My first chapter of "A Jilted Lover's Purpose" so bare with me


Chapter 1

More than Friends?

186 days earlier

I waited by the entrance of Los Noches growing more and more impatient. I looked around the desert of Huenco Mundo only to see nothing distinctive in plain view, this caused me to grow even more annoyed.

After all she's the one who convinced me to go on this "friendship date" knowing I abstain from such foolery.

One hour an two minor sandstorms later, she shows up, waving whole heartedly like everything was okay. Little did she know I was going to let her have it.

"UL-QUI-OR-RA-SA-MA!"

Her enthusiastic voice abbreviated my name, she knew how much I disapproved of it and yet the frivolous woman didn't care.

I couldn't stop my eyes from observing her appearance though. She wore a white form fitting long sleeve shirt with little piece wrapping around both her index fingers on both sleeves. The shirt exposed her cleavage down past her toned stomach, the same for her back but stop just before her rear while her collar would always be flipped.

Her hakama was loose fitting with the sides cut off exposing part of her toned legs and connecting to her ankles. Her thick hair swung by her side as she always wore a long braid over her right shoulder leaving strands of hair dangle near her face, it's a rarity seeing her blonde highlighted locks loose but it was just as beautiful when it was.

Why does this fascinate me now?

Her voluptuous figure embraced me with a warm gesture clouding my vision of her wrong doings so far. She wrapped her arms around my waist resting her face into my shoulder. I stood there shocked at the action as she chuckled a bit grabbing my wrists at my sides and wrapping them around her shoulders.

"That's how it work," Reassuring me of the friendly touch.

It took me a moment to recover from the astonishment. "You're late," staring down at the 5'4 framed woman.

She departed from my chest but her arms were still around me. Her almond shaped eyes were wide looking into mines for a shorten time then she laughed.

Nice, her response is to laugh in my face.

My facial expression rarely changing so she didn't see how disrespected I felt.

She moved her arm to her shapely hip an one to her forehead, creating a statuesque form "Ahh relax a bit Ulquiorra," smiling now "this is our first friendship date so let us both enjoy this,"

As much as I wanted to disagree, she was right. I wouldn't want to spoil it for her too since she always followed me around.

"Shall we?" She bowed motioning me to move to a destination, a destination that we didn't have.

An estimable woman might I say.

She saw that I didn't move and just stared at her.

She walked by me, turning her focus to Huenco Mundo. "Shall we go?"

I didn't say anything as I stood behind her.

To my surprise she turned back and grabbed my wrist to walk with her, side-by-side.

It wasn't much of a friendship date but I commend her of the effort. It was more of her getting to know me instead.

As we walked, my wrist by my side now, she asked me questions: such as what was I doing before working under Aizen? And is there any facial expression that I do other than having an icy gaze? All of her questions went unanswered.

"Do you know what friends are?"

I looked at her from the corner of my eyes "Was that a serious question Emi?"

"FINALLY!" The ecstatic woman shouted. "I finally got a response out of you!"

I stared at her still, watching her put her hands behind her head smiling with her eyes closed after achieving a personal accomplishment of hers.

I can see that she was thinking of another question to ask me, but I decided to throw her off a bit. "Why do you smile so carelessly?"

She stopped in her tracks to look at me staring at her. She grabbed my wrist again; looking in my eyes. "Smile for me,"

I just stared at her; unmoved by what she desired from me.

"Come oooooooon" whining and stomping her feet in place "smile for me!"

I'm trying my best to woman.

She rubbed the back of her head "This is hopeless," she made one last attempt to get me to smile but no matter what she did I didn't.

After seeing her exertions go to waste she suggested that we go to the human world. I was against the action but she insisted anyway. She opened a garganta as I turned to walk back to Los Noches, not before second guessing myself. I turned back to see her walking in the portal without even stopping me to go with her.

What the hell.

I wanted to see what this trip would bring me.

We made it to the colorful scenery; tasting the freshness of the Indian-summer air that brushes past us as we float above the outskirts of what is known as Karakura Town.

I looked out the corner of my eyes at the frolicsome woman again to see her stretching; taking in a gust of air an blatantly exhaling with that playful smile. "Just in time," both of her hands on her hip.

I never saw a spirited woman like her before, almost like a wonder to me.

My thoughts were soon interrupted by the thoughts of arriving in the human world without being attacked. "Why aren't the shinigami attacking us?"

Emi stopped her gaze at the city and gawked at me. "So you were looking for a fight after all..."

I guess it put her at ease to know that I actually was.

"I wouldn't bring the fourth espada here without a plan,"

So she did plan this far ahead.

"I picked up a trait….which Is more of a hobby than a trait I guess," She turned her focus to the sun setting behind the mountains, leaving the horizon glowing with different hues of orange an pink. She took in the image before concluding what she started to say. "I can lower my spiritual pressure and those who I desire, basically we can make it here…in the human world….our whole lives without being detected,"

I see now.

"Now," her finger tapping on her bottom lip again, "where should we go," moving her free hand to her hip.

I found it adorable the gestures she did when she was in thought.

"Ahh the beach!" finally coming to a decision and a destination for that matter.

"The beach?"

She came close to my face as I stared at her, "You don't know what the beach is?"

"Don't be silly woman, I know what the beach is, I was asking as in why go to the beach?"

She looked to the sunset again. "It's such a beautiful scenery," Turning her silver eyes back to me, "I wouldn't want it to go to waste." With that being said she made her way to the journey's end as I followed behind.

I can tell by the way she flew this was something she enjoyed most, the freedom. She closed her eyes letting the wind caress her oval face, blowing through pieces of her hair she left out of the long braid.

As we made our way: she flew circles around me, making patterns through the clouds around me, and even bumped into me. She's like a child and it's becoming annoying.

We finally made it to the vacant beach and the sun was still setting.

She dropped just above the sandy flooring only to collapse, spreading out on her back. I landed on my feet looking at the over excited woman.

Folding her arms behind her head and closing her eyes, I decided to have a seat next to her.

The scenery before us was breathtaking. The water flowed in gracefully, creating different patterns against the already wet sand. The reflection of the sun and the sky made the water stunningly open, as if you lunged into it you'll be in a different space.

"Ulquiorra," opening her eyes now "Why don't you ever speak about yourself?"

The question caught me off guard as I stared at the exquisite scenery before me. "What is there to know about me?"

She sat up using the support of her arms. "You're a deep character and have a mystic personality, something I took a liking too," taking her gaze off the sun an putting her eyes on me. "I want to know more than there is to know about you,"

"Really?" Not much emotion in my voice.

"But it's okay If you don't want me to know anything about you, I don't want you to feel forced," looking at the reflection of the sun in the water. "your presence here is just enough for me," she smiled.

Is that so?

She went on the explore the beach as I sat and watched her. She found what looked like a shell. She gasped my name and moved her hand instantaneously motioning me to come over an take a look.

I got up an met her half way.

"There's an actual shell fish in here!"

I looked down to see the squirmy critter moving in the cramped shell

Disgusting.

After she was done examing the small monstrosity; she placed the sea creature back where she got it, only to stare into the water.

Her hands were slowly traveling to take off her shirt, it was halfway above her chest exposing the dash tattoo next to her stomach, until she turned to see me. Her cheeks turned red as she fixed herself.

"I-I forgot you were here for a minute…a-and…I couldn't control the urge…I was going to go swimming," her thoughts ran rapid.

I smirked as she patted her red cheeks trying to get them back to their normal color.

We walked along the shore after the incident. She told me how she loved the beach an It was a nostalgic feeling about it, something that drew her in.

"I was from a village that lived near the water so I guess that's why I feel so attached to it," she looked to where she walked smiling.

I stared at her still and she caught my gaze.

She blushed again "Why do you stare at me like that?"

"Your eyes are intriguing," turning my focus to where I walked.

She halted and I heard the patting on her cheeks. Few seconds later she recovered and caught up to me.

We stayed at the beach for an hour talking, mostly her, and exploring as the sun was almost gone leaving the moon to take over.

"Shall we get going?" She looked to me, "The sun is almost gone,"

I knew she didn't want to ask me that but I suppose she did it out of courtesy. "Yes, we don't want to raise any suspicion about being here,"

I opened the garganta and walked in as she took one last look at the sun disappearing behind the mountains.

Her mood changed drastically as we arrived in Huenco Mundo. It was dead here, a place that wasn't fit for a free-spirited woman like herself.

Not knowing much about consoling someone when they're down I spoke, "We should do this again sometime,"

She turned to face me with a light in her eyes. "Yes, we should!"

At least she had something to look forward to, and to my surprise I was looking forward to it too.

We made our way into the insipid castle as she broke the silence between us. "Your company is a joy to have around believe it or not,"

I turned my gaze to look at her. Her words touched me although I didn't show it.

"Even though this is our first friendship date together, I felt like I knew you before even if you didn't say much," She looked at me blushing, "It's something about your aura and to be honest this friendship date felt more tha-"

"I see you two love birds returned from who-knows-where!" the arrogant sixth espada interrupting Emi as she was about to confess.

Bastard.

Emi's eyes were wide but she instantly started laughing as me and Grimmjow stared at her.

Holding her stomach, "Me and Ulquiorra are just friends,"

Stating the obvious?

Even though I tried to deny it, I felt something more than friends.

"And besides why am I even explaining myself to you?" Her hands behind her head now.

Grimmjow grew quiet. It was evident he wanted Emi, he just had too much pride to admit it or show it, especially in front of me.

He walked between us; his hands in his pocket making his way to training grounds.

I turned my gaze to Emi as she stared at the back of the sixth esapada who made his way out. She turned to catch eye contact with me and blushed again.

"STOP DOING THAT!" she patted her cheeks again "your eyes are intimidating enough!"

Paying no attention to her soundly yet soft voice "Like I said," walking down the hall, "your eyes are interesting."

Her patting got quicker. "U-u-um….where are you going to now?"

"Going to my section,"

"O-oh okay well it was a pleasure that you actually came on this friend date with me, I never thought you would go through with it," rubbing her cheeks.

Was it really a "friend date"?

"Im a man of my word," shaking the thought out of my head.

She mumbled under her breathe "A man that takes a lot of convincing," but I heard her clearly.

We walked to the end of the hall where we go our separate ways.

She gave me another warm embrace against my cold body.

This one was longer than the one earlier

"It's called a hug," she softly spoke into my shoulder.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, resting them on the middle of her back, where her hair tickled the back of my hand.

She unwrapped her arms lastly touching my hands before she walked away to Halibel section.

I put my hands back in my pockets watching her luscious figure disappear into the right side of the hall.

Not showing any emotion was something natural for me but I felt at ease. She was all I could think about tonight and I found nothing wrong about it.

Friends?
