Hey, dudes! I would like to dedicate this chapter to soccerstar7. She helped me write some of the awkward moments in this chapter. Thank you soccerstar7 for being a great author and friend. I don't care if you don't think of me as your friend, but I think of you that way. :D Okay, everybody we will start off from Ulquiorra's point of view as we had left him. This will be a very short chapter by the way.

The prisoner girl was already in a battle position and ready to attack when I was suddenly forced down onto my knees. What? What is happening to me? I started coughing up blood as I felt my stomach being pierced. My eyes widened in shock as I heard a hollow howling. I opened my eyes to find myself back in the new training grounds.

Orihime Inoue had turned into a hollow. It was a statement not a question, without a doubt. The hollowfied prisoner girl was aiming a cero at me. That must explain the hole in my stomach, but that is impossible! She is not strong enough to injure me yet, let alone scratch me. What is she? Is she a monster like Loly and Menoly had called her? No. She is not the real monster. I am. She has a heart while I do not, whether it is the one that beats in your chest or the term that humans use so lightly. I am the real monster, I have no heart.

This is going to be rough. I can't hurt the girl, maybe if I leave her with a couple of bruises my plan will work. After she gains control of her hollow, she can heal herself. My plan will work. I know it will.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Orihime was one on one with her inner hollow. This is her chance to finally become stronger and protect the ones she loved. Orihime blushed at that thought but quickly brushed it off and replaced it with a look of determination on her face. If she was going to get a chance to protect, the time was now.

"What's the matter queen? Are you afraid?" Hollow Orihime asked confidently.

"No." was all Orihime could answer out of her mouth right now.

Hollow Orihime jumped back a couple yards away from where she was standing. What is she planning to do?

"Orihime" Hollow Orihime was suddenly serious. Orihime looked up and stared at herself? It was still kind of weird, about having three doubles.

"When the king is away, leading his army into battle, why is it that every time the queen stays in the castle? It's to be protected. Right now Orihime, you are that queen. You are powerful but weak at the same time. You are always being protected by other and you are vulnerable at anytime, anywhere."

All Orihime could do was listen and watch her Hollow self, but she was right. I am weak and always being protected by someone. That's why I want to become stronger. I need to become stronger. Orihime looked up again as she heard herse-no that isn't right. That figure over there was not Orihime. Orihime was kind and loving. She wasn't a heartless killer.

"Orihime, do you know who that king is? You don't do you?"

At first, she thought about Ichigo, because she had heard him mumbling to himself in class, something about him being the king and not the horse. She also…liked Ichigo, but with each passing day, she has been feeling, well different about her feelings for Ichigo. She was starting to lose her special feelings for Ichigo.

"You already know who the king is don't you?" Hollow Orihime asked. Orihime knew it was a statement rather than a question but she didn't want to hear it! It's not true!

"Yes Orihime, it's very true. Your king is Ulquiorra Schiffer." With that sentence out there, the arrancar's eyes widened in shock at the hollow's statement.

Orihime suddenly burst out angrily. "No! That's not true! If that's true then why are we exact opposites?" Orihime retorted.

"You two are tied together with a special, inseparable bond, and I wouldn't say you two are exact opposites. You two are like Yin and Yang. He is a hollow with a little of human still left in him. You are a human with a little hollow in you. That is why you two belong to each other."

Orihime was confused. "Belonged" So we are items now are we? Orihime was not used to talking sarcastically but when she was talking with this being, it made her want to be sarcastic.

The hollow stopped talking and began to attack Orihime with Tsubaki, but it looked like Tsubaki was changed, along with the other fairies that the hollow has. All of the fairies are wearing black and white clothing with black eyes and golden irises to go with them.

Orihime waited until the dead Tsubaki was a foot away from her and then called out her own Tsubaki and attacked the hollow while putting up her flower shield. The hollow had not been expecting this attack and was starting to wither away, starting from the feet.

"Maybe you're not a stupid, clumsy, girlie-girl after all. But if I sense even the slightest weakness, I will become the queen and you will become the rusty, old, and dull throne, which the queen sits apon. Orihime said nothing as the hollow faded away.

Orihime stepped out of her inner world and into the new training grounds. Orihime opened her eyes to see a wounded Ulquiorra as she blushed to what the hollow had said earlier. Orihime ran to his side and called out her fairy friends to begin healing Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra said nothing as he let the girl heal him. He was too weak to protest and it was her job to heal wounded soldiers. Ulquiorra thought back to where Orihime had become a hollow and started fighting him. She was surprisingly strong. It didn't take long for him to heal, for his injuries were not as bad as the prisoner's were. The girl must of caught him staring at her bruises and cuts all over her arms, legs and face because the next thing she said was, "Don't worry, I'll be fine!" and with that she smiled brightly. Why was she smiling, he had never seen her smile…ever in all the times he was near.

The shield disappeared as was his bruises and cuts….and his hole. Ulquiorra was staring at the place in his stomach where the hole from her cero used to be. The next thing he knew, he felt a warm tingling sensation through his body as a familiar figure hugged him.

"What are you doing woman?" Ulquiorra asked, skeptically for he did not know why she was hugging him.

"I'm so glad you're okay! I was really worried! I had no idea what was going on until you showed up in there!" Orihime said excitedly.

"You did not answer my question woman." With that the girl let go, started looking at the floor while a blush crept up on her face.

The girl's eyes started tearing up and she said something that Ulquiorra could not hear.

"Love" Orihime whispered to herself as she heard a familiar snicker inside of her head.

"Finally get it, don't you?" Hollow Orihime said loudly.

Yeah, I know this chapter was short and really cheesy but I felt like I had to get that moment out there. I hoped you enjoyed the chapter! Again, I want to dedicate this chapter to soccerstar7. Thank-you! Please review!
