Place:The Guidance Counsellor's Room, Karakura High
Occupants: Ulquiorra Cifer (Class 3-C, Head of Discipline Committee), Ichimaru Gin (Guidance Counsellor)
Time:15:42 PM
The pin drop silence in the room was agonizingly deafening for the Guidance Counsellor of Karakura High. A few hours ago he was approached by a student, who wished to keep her identity a secret, for some counselling help. As she sat in his office and talked for ages, while eating her disgusting lunch comprising of some weird looking dessert, he concluded that she definitely needed some help. But alas! She wanted him to talk to one of her friends. And so here he was, sitting in his room with the dullest looking student he had ever laid eyes on.
Counsellor Gin cleared his throat and motioned with his hand for Ulquiorra to start talking.
Ulquiorra simply ignored the motion.
Gin gave him an intense stare, looking straight into the student's eye.
Ulquiorra promptly returned the stare.
Gin threw his hands in the air and gave up.
"Look Ulqui-chan, your friend approached me earlier in the day and she's worried about you. So just tell me what's wrong so I can make up a report for her."
Ulquiorra remained silent for a few minutes before opening his mouth slowly, "Which friend?" He said as quietly and slowly as possible.
"She wishes to stay anonymous." Gin replied.
And once again the silence took its place.
"Are you for real? Don't you have anything to say?" Gin burst out, unable to tolerate the silence.
Ulquiorra shook his head.
"So you're just going to sit there?" Gin asked, bewildered.
Ulquiorra nodded and after a moment added, "Until you excuse me."
And finally, Gin's foxy grin returned, "Well Ulqui-chan, I'm not going to excuse you unless you smile."
The effect was immediate. Ulquiorra's eyes widened ever so slightly in surprise as he said cautiously, "…Smile?"
"Yes. You smile and I'll let you go and tell that girl some made up emotional crap." Gin grinned ferociously.
Ulquiorra broke into a cold sweat.
"Of course, if you want to talk about whatever shitty traumatic experience you had when you were a little brat instead, that's fine too."
Gin swirled around in his chair and laughed at Ulqui-chan discomfort. After all enjoying their misery was a part of his job. And it was because the Counsellor was doing his job so attentively that he missed the Ulquiorra's first strained attempt at a smile. Granted all the kid could manage to do was twitch his mouth, the Counsellor regretted missing the strained look on the student's face.
Gin stopped swirling the moment the second twitch happened, "That's it, Ulqui-chan! Just a little bit more!" He leaned in forward as he cheered the younger male on.
Almost instantly Ulquiorra leaned back and the twitch disappeared.
Gin groaned with disappointment and retreated muttering something about damned pricks who feel conscious around an audience.
And then it happened.
Ulquiorra started sweating profusely and a heavily strained look appeared on his face. His eyebrows were knit together in furious concentration and all his strength was being focused on the lower part of his face. Slowly and steadily his mouth began to move. At first it was only a small twitch like the previous ones but soon enough his lips were curling upwards.
Heavily sweating with a constipated look on his face and with just a little bit of teeth showing, Ulquiorra Cifer finally managed to smile.
And it was the scariest smile Gin had ever seen.
"STOP! DON'T SMILE! GET LOST YOU CREEP! FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY AND ALL THAT IS GOOD NEVER EVER SMILE AGAIN!"

A/N: One free review who can guess the identity of the anonymous girl. C'mon, I've made it pretty obvious already.
And also if there's someone who is in desperate need of some excellent guidance don't forget to put their name in the review and me and Gin will try our best to help that person.
