Sorry I've been gone for so long guys I was eaten by a titan…anyone else know how addicting attack on titan is? I was snatched up by it and I only just regained interest in other series'
In Hueco Mundo…
"I don't see why you won't just tell me where she is. What could it harm? I won't tell her who I am I just want to see her." The young half espada was currently trying a new tactic to gain the information she wanted.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible." answered the male standing in front of her.
"But father I…"
"You are not to go near her. Lord Aizen does not wish her to be compromised by an overload of emotions." His green eyes focused down to her. "She would not be able to handle such information as your existence in her current state."
The girl frowned even deeper than she had been. "I just want to talk with her for a minute. You don't have to tell her who I am and I promise that I will not divulge such information to her."
The half masked head shook as Ulquiorra refused his offspring's request once more. "No, you are not to know of her and she is not to know of you. Be grateful that I told you she is alive and leave it at that."
She held back her thoughts on the matter and turned her head looking over the moonlit expanse before them. He had taken her outside Aizen's false daylight to train and hone her skills. He made sure to keep her away from the side of the building where Orihime's window rested for fear the girl would discover her there.
Something in him felt it was logical for the two females to meet, but he knew Aizen's orders had logic as well.
"Now attack me with all your strength."
Emerald awoke eyes flying open and muscles tense. She looked around in the darkness and allowed herself to relax once again. It was only a dream.
…past Hueco Mundo…
He came to her chamber like he had done every day. He waited for the cart with her meal on it to be rolled in and watched the attendant leave closing the heavy door. It was like every other day yet instead of walking towards her he simply sat down on the couch and refused to look at her.
"Are we not going to…you know?" She timidly asked
"You were expecting it?"
She blushed "Well it has been every day for a while and I thought…"
"You desire it woman?"
She was redder than ever and stuttered trying to breath "I, well I um… I mean"
"I feel nothing" his soft spoken mutter was more of an out loud reflection than a statement to her.
She wondered whether or not to ask him what he meant, but let him explain on his own. "When I am within you I feel as though nothing exists but you and I. Is this normal woman?"
She blinked and swallowed before attempting to answer "I suppose so." She paused nervously "I've heard it said that the world is dead to lovers in love. Or that their lover becomes their world. I'm not quite sure I remember the saying exactly."
"We are not lovers, woman. We are not in love." He pointedly reminded her that this was not one of her fairytale dreams.
"Yes, but it would be nice to pretend." She smiled "If we have to do this I'd rather pretend we were…"
"Aizen no longer needs your body to be used in that way."
He'd expected a reaction, but she just stood still staring at him as though she didn't know what to do.
Finally she spoke "What? So you mean it was all for nothing? All the times that we…"
"Your purpose has changed" clarified the number four espada.
Orihime's lips formed a straight line as she watched him. He looked up into her eyes and found they were full of emotion. She was relieved that she wouldn't have to carry and bear a child just so Aizen could take it, but she had come to accept that fate and was sort of looking forward to becoming a mother to a cute baby. She had wondered many times what their child would look like and how it would act. If she got to spend time with it and raise it she could teach it about being human and about making friends, but she doubted the child could find many friends here in this place.
"What are you thinking woman?" His calm voice brought her out of her daydream.
"Oh, I was just imagining what our child would look like if we had one like Aizen wanted. Maybe he'd have hair like mine and eyes like yours and…"
A soft reply stopped her babbling "It would be a girl."
Orihime smiled "I'd love it to be a girl. What would she look like?"
He glanced at her briefly and looked away "It doesn't matter."
She frowned and moved closer, sitting down on the couch next to him. "Please, I want to know your opinion."
"It is useless to you, but if you must know she would have black hair and green eyes with a small section of hair like yours towards the back underneath."
Orihime giggled drawing his gaze to her "That's so cute! Who knew you had such an imagination?" Staring in his emotionless eyes she whispered "I'm sad it won't come true."
His eyebrows lowered "You want my child?"
She blushed "I've always wanted to be a mother."
Her shy smile and blushing cheeks made him crave the feeling she gave him when they mated. It was as though he felt whole, completely encased in nothingness. He felt happy with her though he didn't know how to show it. He settled with making her cry out his name and watching her being engulfed in pleasure, but now there was no need. He had received orders that she was no longer needed for that purpose seeing as a child had been produced, unbeknownst to her of course.
She moved away from him and to the tray holding her meal. She ate as he remained in silence. She turned to him once more when she was done, finding him asleep. She leaned over him only to be shocked by his eyes snapping open.
… present…
Orihime awoke to a new morning and stretched yawning away the sleep. She turned to see two figures sleeping close by. Emerald lying on her back, had her face was turned away from Sapphire who'd latched onto her left arm in sleep.
She began to think of what their future would be like here in human world and decided that they'd need to start at a human school. It seemed as though they were the same age as Ichigo's younger sisters.
She grew excited imagining the four of them becoming best friends and hanging out at school. She almost laughed out loud with joy of her imagination, but held it back in view of the sleeping children. She bit her lip with a smile, gazing nostalgically at them. Who would have thought this possible? She had realized the moment she'd seen her that she was the child Ulquiorra had described, and at that point she'd already been "harvested" and grown.
The red blonde girl stood and quietly grabbed some casual clothes to change into. "No school today" she thought happily. "I get to spend more time with them."
As soon as she was dressed a knock resounded at the door. It was as if fate knew her plans and decided to mess them up. She paused halfway through brushing her long hair and walked to the door. Upon answering it she was slightly surprised and yet in some ways she had expected this. Standing just outside were Urahara and Rukia. "Good morning Inoue. Urahara san wanted a word with the girls."
Orihime nodded nervously "Uh, sure. Let me just wake..."
"We're awake." She jumped at the sudden voice from behind, turning to see the two make their way into the room fully awake and dressed.
'wow, that was fast.' She thought and watched the girls walk out the door with Urahara.
Rukia stepped in, closing the door behind her.
"The word from the soul society is still pending. They said they'd wait till Urahara san could question them." The dark haired beauty had a talent for reading into people's expressions and noticed the look Orihime currently held. "Don't worry, they'll be fine. They pose no threat to soul society and never have. They'll be considered allies if they answer Urahara san's questions correctly."
The redhead gave an unconfident smile "Yeah I guess you're right."
…
Emerald was first to be questioned by the strange hermit of a shinigami. Sapphire sat in another room awaiting her turn. She stared into her tea distractedly playing with the angle of the cup, watching the reflection in the liquid. Catching sight of her own eye reflected reminded her of an identically colored pair.
…memory…
"Is that all you got kid?"
She stood panting with sweat and evidence of their fight covering her skin. Her energy was dangerously low and she shook her head as her vision blurred momentarily.
"I had hoped you'd be more of a challenge. I haven't even gone into my resurrección form yet while training you." He laughed and her eyes narrowed.
A growl escaped her throat as she lunged forward. They had been sparring together without swords to work her physical fighting skills which she decided to show off at the moment. Laughter continued as he was able to block every hit. She stepped back once more to rest. "Come on kid you're embarrassing me. If you're my kid you should prove it, so let's have a little fun."
A smirk took over her face and her energy spiked. She pushed herself even further and found the speed to connect a hit to his jaw.
Jumping back with the blow he laughed again "About time! You've gotta feel it or it's worthless to fight."
She nodded attacking again driving him back. This time she laughed out loud at the progress she was making, but her accomplishment was short lived.
"Don't get cocky." One last swift movement and she was laying on her back in the sand like surface of the earth, staring up at the false blue sky. His silhouette neared and leaned over her. "Nice one kid, but remember to pay attention to your energy levels."
She looked away upset at her failure. "I'm not like you though. I don't have that kind of power. I'm just a half human."
He snarled and reached down grabbing her by the collar of her clothing, pulling her into a sitting position. "And just what do you think your other half is? It's me remember?" He let go of her and she scowled up at him. "I don't expect you to be on my level right now, but you can be with training." He scowled right back at her before sighing at holding out his hand to her. "Wipe that look off your face and let's go."
Her face softened and she reached up being pulled to her feet. She wobbled for a few seconds before collapsing again. She didn't even care that she was about to hit the ground again, but found herself supported. The sixth espada picked her up with one arm around her waist and quickly sped back to her living area inside Aizen's hideout. He laid her down on her bed finding her to already be asleep.
He chuckled "Sleep while you can kid. Aizen has plans for you, but honestly I don't think you should be told what to do." He studied her sleeping form and wiped a bit of dirt from her cheek. "sleep and gain strength kid, you'll need it."
Thank you so much for reading. I'd like to know your opinion and suggestions too!
