Hey guys now I hope you're not mad that it's been a while but I needed inspiration. Let's start the chapter.

Chapter 3
Orihime looked down the hallway looking for a certain orange haired high school student. Now she's not stalking him, she just wanted to make sure the coast was clear. Why? Because guess who she brought along with her.
"He's not there so let's go already."
Orihime looked on her right shoulder and looked at Ulquiorra. He sat there with an emotionless face and wanted nothing more than to leave the school to get home. Although he was not looking forward to Orihime's cooking. He still couldn't figure out how she caused a fire while making rice balls.
"Just be patient. We have to make sure Ichigo's not here because if he found out I brought you to school… I don't even want to know," Orihime said.
After one more look down the hall and towards the front door Orihime slowly crept to the outside world. When she put her hand on the door handle she was called by a familiar voice.
"Orihime, hold on! I want to ask you something."
Orihime grabbed Ulquiorra off her shoulder and held him behind her back. She looked up and saw Ichigo come towards her.
"Ichi-Ichigo, what's wrong," she stammered.
"I wanted to know how things were going with your…roommate."
"Oh, things have been going great. In fact, it couldn't be any better!"
Ichigo's face lit up. "That's good to hear. Hey, how about I walk you home?"
Orihime started to blush a nice light pink. She always wanted to have a chance to be alone with Ichigo but she wasn't alone at the moment. She could feel Ulquiorra trying to squirm his way out of her hold on him but she wouldn't relent. Once she felt him stop moving around in her hands, she replied to Ichigo's question.
"I would love to Ichigo, really I would but I can't today because…um…I have to…uh…help an old lady cross the street! Yeah, that works. Anyway, maybe next time! Bye Ichigo."
Orihime walked backwards toward the door and felt around for the handle. When she got it to open, she walked out the rest of the way; leaving behind a very confused Ichigo. Once she saw the door shut in front of her she turned and ran. When she felt it was safe she let Ulquiorra go and bowed in apology.
"I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean to hold you that tightly."
Ulquiorra brushed imaginary dust off himself and floated to Orihime, who kept bowing. He wondered how she didn't get a head rush from bowing so fast.
"It does not matter now. Let's just go home."
The whole time they were walking, Ulquiorra kept yapping away about how idiotic Ichigo was. Ulquiorra was not the type to let things go, especially when it comes to shinigami.
"I mean, why does someone need to be walked home," demanded Ulquiorra.
"'Hey, how about I walk you home,'" Ulquiorra said imitating Ichigo's voice.
Orihime rolled her eyes at the flying record player. All she heard the whole time they've been walking was the same thing and it was starting to get on her nerves.
"Will you please stop it already?!"
Ulquiorra turned towards the annoyed woman and was surprised by a glare on her face.
"What?"
"You've been insulting Ichigo this whole time. He was just being courteous to me."
"Wait, did you want to be walked home by him?"
She hesitated. Lately these types of questions have been coming up about her feelings towards Ichigo. What's even more surprising is that all the questions were always asked by Ulquiorra.
"Well, to be honest, I did want him to," Orihime sheepishly said.
Ulquiorra felt jealousy, a new emotion he recently figured out, boil within him. He didn't know why he felt this emotion when it came to this woman but he didn't care at the moment.
"What is so great about that stupid shinigami?! It's always 'Ichigo' this or 'Ichigo' that. I don't understand!"
Orihime grew red in the face but it was from anger instead of embarrassment.
"What are you talking about? I'm not the one who's always talking about Ichigo! If anything, you're the one who brings him up, not me, Mr. 'Ichigo' this or 'Ichigo' that!"
Ulquiorra matched Orihime's glare; you could practically see the sparks between their glaring match.
"I've had enough! Don't expect me home!"
Ulquiorra flew off in the opposite direction of Orihime's home while Orihime stomped her way back to her place.
Ulquiorra couldn't believe what just happened. This was so unlike him! It's the human world's fault; if he never came here he wouldn't have fought with Orihime!
Ulquiorra froze. Since when did he stop blaming Orihime for everything? And since when did he start calling her home his home? Before Ulquiorra could think too much into it he heard a screech from behind him. He turned his head and saw a hawk come flying towards him.
'Oh no, not again,' he thought.
He extended his black wings and flew with everything he had. It wasn't the first time he had been attacked by a large bird, so he knew what he had to do. He started to weave around high wire poles and zigzagged to confuse the hawk. When that didn't work Ulquiorra dived down at a fast pace and hid behind a fire hydrant. If only he had his powers, then that bird would've been made into Kung-Po chicken. When he looked up into the sky he saw the bird circle twice then left in search for other prey.
'Stupid birds,' Ulquiorra whispered while he laughed in his head.
Just when he was about to take off into the skies, he felt something cold and wet nudge his back. He turned around and found a dog growling at him.
"Nice doggy. Good doggy," Ulquiorra said to the dog.
The dog simply sniffed him again and then barked with happiness. He licked Ulquiorra and started to pant. Ulquiorra was covered in dog drool from head to toe…or head to claw. A whistle was heard from the distance and the dog perked its ears up.
"Is that your master calling you?"
The dog barked in response.
"Well, you should get going then."
'He's not such a bad dog,' thought Ulquiorra.
He turned away from the mongrel and walked off but didn't get too far when the dog suddenly put him into his mouth and ran towards the direction of the whistle from earlier.
'I take that back,' Ulquiorra seethed.
To Be Continued.
Woo Hoo! I can't wait for the next chapter. Will Ulquiorra be a chew toy to the new found "companion?" Will Orihime forgive Ulquiorra? Will they even reconcile? Find out in part two!
