Thanks for the support guys I really appreciate it and I hope you like this next chapter please R&R. :)
Orihime started to tear up she couldn't understand what she did wrong. All he did was look at her waiting for her answer. She really wanted to talk to him about his problems but he barely does that without him being mean. Ulquiorra started to get up and leave seeing as this wasn't going anywhere. Orihime suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him back looking up at him through her teary eyes she said.
"Don't go." Ulquiorra's eyes went wide with shock. What did she just say? He turned to look at her he couldn't comprehend it why would she still want to talk to him? What compelled her to do so no one in his life has ever told him to stay. He grabbed her hand but she responded with standing up and embracing him. Again Ulquiorra couldn't possibly understand what was going on until she finally spoke again.
"I'm not letting go until you promise you'll stay." Why was she so determined but he figured he couldn't resist now so he pulled her off him and sat back down. She started to wipe away her tears she then looked at him and slapped him across his face. 'How many times can this woman surprise me' he thought as he looked back at her guessing he deserved that for being his usual self.
"Very well I'll stay. Now what was your question?" He figured it would be something boring and annoying as most other people asked him. But what she asked was a question he had never dared to be asked before something that made her different from the rest. That's the first time he saw her in a new light, a different light from the rest. Something about her was different and he was determined to find out what it was. Because her question to him was:
"Why are you so lonely that you have to be mean to everyone Ulquiorra?" Lonely? He thought about this for a while, while she stared at him waiting for an answer. All he responded with was:
"I'm not lonely. If I was lonely I would be trying to make friends but I don't want 'friends' I don't want people in my life that will only slow me down from my goal."
"And what goal is that?"
"To get the respect I deserve from my remaining family." She looked shocked at this. She really was different most people would be confused or tell him it's a stupid dream that he will never achieve. She merely stood there now with a worried look on her face she asked:
"Your family doesn't love you?" He turned away getting ready to leave as the bell was about to ring. He pointed at his watch to silently let her know the time was later than she thought it was.
"It is no concern of yours whether or not my family loves me. Now any other questions before I leave?" Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she got to ask her final question the one she had been saving since last night. She used her bright smile o maybe lighten the mood as she asked:
"Can I walk home with you today?" Stunned Ulquiorra looked at her. Dumbfounded by the question why does she like him so much when all he has been is mean to her. Maybe he was wrong about most people. Or at the very least her.
After school he kept his promise to her and waited for her at the school gates. He had been waiting for ten minutes now and was about to leave without her until he was interrupted by a certain blue haired prick named Grimmjow. Ulquiorra sighed as he knew what this was about.
"Hey you green eyed bastard it's time for me to settle a score with you."
"I believe I don't. Now get out of my way you're wasting my time." He pushed Grimmjow out of the way and kept walking.
"Hey I'm talking to you freak." Grimmjow grabbed Ulquiorra's shoulder but later wished he hadn't. Ulquiorra stared at him with complete malice. He reached up grabbed Grimmjow's left arm with his right and flipped him over himself. Grimmjow now on his back in front of Ulquiorra (who still had his arm) had a worried look on his face he knew he had fucked up.
As Ulquiorra was about to break his hand and settle this Grimmjow was saved by Orihime's scream for them to stop. Ulquiorra looked over his shoulder and saw her running towards them. Sighing he released Grimmjow's arm and said in a whisper
"Get in my way again and no matter what she says you're going to lose a limb. He nodded then scrambled up to his feet swearing this wasn't over as he ran away. As usual she had that worried look on her face. He wouldn't be surprised if you could actually worry her to death. She finally got to him and she slapped him. Yup saw that coming he really couldn't ever tell what side she was on. She finally spoke to him after that.
"You really have to stop being mean to people, how do you ever mean to make friends?"
"I told you already I have no need for friends."
"Well whether you like it or not I'm your friend so get walking." She crossed her arms and put on this a pouty face as she was trying not to hide her playful nature. She didn't do it too well because she started laughing after that. Ulquiorra just sighed and took her hand in his and started walking. She gasped at the sudden contact but relaxed after a little bit of them walking. As they walked she kept asking questions and as annoyed as he was he would answer them. He couldn't understand why he even accepted to do this they looked like a couple holding hands going through the city down to his house. Karakura city was rather large and wasn't the safest place to go through alone (even though he did everyday). As they walked and talked he looked over at two girls holding hands and laughing at something one of them said.
One was slightly taller than the other and she had blonde shoulder length hair and cold blue eyes. The other was slightly shorter with long green hair and seemed to have a fun personality as the other was more serious. Though despite their lack of similarity and being the same gender they loved each other. That concept was lost to him it was a foreign word love. Was it something he could still do after years of emotional abuse? He looked back at the smiling girl holding his hand and thought maybe he could one last time.
