Chapter 4
I was calmer now; my zanpackto (who's name I didn't know as of yet) told me all that I needed to know. It kind of helps that I did get somewhere after the arrancar arc. I sighed and ran my hand through the black hair that was somewhat visible.
My green eyes slid over to Orihime, who looked like she didn't know what to do. "Hey, Orihime." She jolted and turned toward me, fidgeting a bit with her weird outfit. I smiled a little bit. "Thank you." Orihime stopped, widening her bright blue eyes. I turned back to staring right in front of me, at the door to where I knew something, bad or good, I don't know, would happen.
Sensing the new nervousness in Orihime, I looked at her and patiently waited for her to ask whatever it was that she needed to ask.
"W-" She gulped, nervousness building up in her eyes. "What and who are you?" She quickly asked, clenching her hakami pants.
I frowned and thought of her question. "Well," I started, gesturing for her to sit down next to me. Orihime did so reluctantly. "I'm not sure how, but I guess I'm an arrancar or an espada, whichever works for you. For who I am," I smirked sadly. "My name is-"
The door swung open, causing the both of us to jump up. I stood and stepped in front of Orihime a bit, just in case. When whoever it was stepped into the room and into the light, I almost cried out of shock.
It was my brother, Ulquiorra. He didn't seem to have changed, except being an arrancar. Well, that is kinda expected, seeing as I'm now in the world of Bleach. His black hair was still the same messy midnight color it was, along with his bright green eyes. Even his expression was the same. "Brother..." I whispered, feeling tears coming up from the very sight of him.
His eyes glanced to me, probably hearing me whisper that one word that always was like taboo in the house after he died. Like I have always known him to be, he was unemotional, but to me, I could always read his eyes, and right then and there, I knew that there was a chance that he could remember me.
Recognition flashed through his eyes, even if it was only for half a second.
"Lord Aizen wants to see you." He said, grabbing roughly onto my arm and dragging me out of the room. I sent a scared look at Orihime, whom looked like she didn't know what the hell to do before the door was shut, cutting off contact between the two of us.
I eventually righted myself enough to where I could walk alongside my brother, but he kept a tight grip on my arm, not allowing me to run away. I mentally scoffed at that idea. I wouldn't run away even if I wanted to; this is my BROTHER for Kami's sake!
The hallways we kept going through were white with an occasional crack here and there. It was confusing, but I didn't care; I doubt that I would be kept alive after this meeting with the dumbest piece of shit ever made alive in all existence of anime.
We paused before two large doors, their size somewhat intimidating me. I glanced over at Ulquiorra to see him also analyzing me, probably wondering how the hell I look so much like him. Our eyes then locked, and it seemed that everything was gone. I was looking into the eyes of my brother, Ulquiorra, not the monster that Bleach made him out to be, not the man that I knew that he was on the inside, but my brother, the one who cared for me, who helped save me on more than one occasion, and the one who made the one promise to me.
'I promise, Alice...'
Ulquiorra's POV
Now that I had the time to actually study the girl next to me, I could definitely, clearly, see the similarity between the two of us. Besides the gender, where our mask was placed, and the emotions on our faces (I don't really show any, just to be clear on that), we could've been twins if I didn't know any better.
For all I knew, we might as well have been.
Though there was something familiar about this stranger, the one who seemed to... spark something within me.
As I was analyzing her before I sent her to see Lord Aizen, our eyes locked.
I was thrown into a whirlwind of chaos, one full of images, voices, sounds that I was sure that I had never heard, but were hauntingly familiar at the same time. The girl's face seemed to be the one that popped up everywhere, just more human looking.
There was one with dark colored tears, one with a smile, there was a picture for every one of the emotions out there. It almost seemed like I knew her, and I knew I did.
Then everything just stopped in place, as if the whirlwind never happened. But the strange thing was, it stopped in a specific place. I looked around, wondering what the hell just happened, until I heard a female voice call my name.
"Ulquiorra, wait!" She was heading straight towards me. I probably had time to turn if I wasn't so shocked by who called my name. It was the same girl from earlier, only more... human. I almost moved out of the way when she just ran right through me. My green eyes narrowed, still wondering what was going on. I turned, following the girl, and was shocked for the second time in five minutes.
I was looking at me, well, a human looking me to be exact. I had a bit more color in my skin, I didn't have my cerulean tear marks, and my mask was gone. What was more shocking was the small smile that I easily let occupy the human me's face; if that makes any sense. Then he spoke, and I knew for sure...
"I've been waiting for a while."
That human was me when I was...
"Why wouldn't I wait for my dear sister?"
Human...
The scene then blurred, leaving me more confused and pissed than I have 'felt' in a long time. The scene stopped again, and this time, I was holding the girl, and I was... crying?
He held her close in the darkness, seemingly waiting for something to stop before making any type of noise or movement. Everything in the picture then became sharper as my eyes landed on the girl. She was bruised, beaten badly, and barely breathing.
I had this strange 'urge' to go over and check on her, but before I could, the silence was cut through with words coming out of his (my?) mouth.
"I promise, Alice..." His voice was barely above a whisper and was so much like my own that I was shocked. "That you won't ever be left alone again."
