Chapter Four: Tatsuki's Shock
It was a hot Monday morning, when Ulquiorra went to sensei Ochi English class to drop off and pick up Orihime's homework.
"Good morning," he said. Sensei Ochi stopped from what she was doing, turned to Ulquiorra and smiled.
"Hello Ulquiorra. Class look, it's Ulquiorra," she said.
"Hi," the class said. Ulquiorra waved at them. "Do you have Orihime-san's homework?" he asked. Sensei Ochi shook her head no. "There won't be any homework for her today. Today is no-homework week."
"Oh, that's why the other instructors didn't give me anything," Ulquiorra said with wonder. Sensei nodded.
"Well, okay," he said. He put the homework on the teacher's desk and waved goodbye.
He left the school building. He was back to his normal self.
"I'm so glad I picked up how to fake smile from Onna," he said. Just the thought of her, Ulquiorra felt warmth roll all over his body. He could still feel the kiss she gave him. His hand was on his right cheek, trying to memorize the feel and touch of her lips, the emotion that was in that one kiss and the warmth. He sighed contently.
"Hey Ulquiorra, our main mission is complete," yelled Tatsuki.
"How?" he asked. Tatsuki opened her school bag and got out a flier. "The class is going to Tokyo for 6 whole months. This would be perfect for us to take Orihime," Tatsuki explained. Ulquiorra took the paper from her and observed it.
"Six months?" he thought. "I'll discuss this at the meeting today," he announced.
"You mean we, right?" Tatsuki reminded him. He sighed.
"There's nothing that will change your mind is there?" he asked. Tatsuki crossed her arms and glanced at him. He opened the garganta and they both went in.
They went to Orihime's room first, then to Szayel's lab, then to the Soul Society.
"Welcome back," Torshiro said.
Bows were made and little conversation on the way. Everyone came to the meeting room and sat down. Yamamoto was sitting in the far end of the table. The scientists were waiting for Orihime to be dismissed from the general. Which he had given to the scientist. Orihime got out of her seat and walked towards the door. Tatsuki and Ulquiorra followed her.
"What are you doing?" grumbled Yamamoto.
"Onna asked us to be with her. Do you have a problem with that?" Ulquiorra nonchalantly challenged. Yamamoto grunted. Ulquiorra took it was a no and went inside.
The scientist really didn't mind Ulquiorra and Tatsuki being in the room at all. Ulquiorra and Tatsuki seated themselves in some chairs and observed the scientist strapping Orihime down.
"Do they really need to do that?" Tatsuki asked. He didn't say anything. If was still hard for him to talk about it. They watched the scientist getting everything ready. The head scientist gave the others the okay and they started the procedure.
Tatsuki watched with horror at her friend. Orihime's screams were louder than before. It took so much control from both Ulquiorra and Tatsuki from attacking. Orihime's blood was like flooding the room. Her blood was at Ulquiorra's waist. Tatsuki ran to the nearest window and upchucked her breakfast, then she screamed.
Back at Hueco Mundo…..
The three Halflings were waiting for their parents to come back home. Ju (the son) was reading books from the library that a servant left them. Ai and Angell (the daughters) were on the computer listening to some music. It was all fun and dandy when all of the sudden they heard a scream. "Hey, that's mommyTatsuki," they said. Ju put down his book, the girls turned off the computer and left.
They barged in the Soul Society burning every building, stomping on every Soul Reaper, hearing their screams of pain and their last breath leaving their now crushed lungs. Blood was splattered everywhere. Organs, spleens, lungs, liver, and intestines were sprawled over the whole ground. The Seireitei was over flowed with died bloody bodies covered in their own guts. (AN:/ just kidding. They did barge in but not the other stuff I just mentioned). They went straight in the room that their parents were in.
"What is wrong mommyTatsuki?" Ju asked.
Tatsuki was sitting down; blood covered half of her school uniform, rocking back in forth. Ulquiorra was in the same state as Tatsuki but different. His uniform was covered with blood but the only thing that was different was that he showed emotion of guilt, fear, anger, and losing control. Orihime was asleep, getting her blood some time replenish itself. The little ones were worried about their parents.
"Ai, Angell and Ju go sleep with your mom," Ulquiorra wearily said. The kids obeyed their father. They crawled right next to Orihime and went to sleep.
Ulquiorra went back to normal. He looked at Tatsuki who was still in a horrible state. He stood in front of her, grabbed her shoulders, and shooked some sense into her. Which did the trick; Tatsuki got out of her funk. She looked around the room. It was sparkling clean.
"We need to talk to them," Ulquiorra stated. She nodded. She got out of her seat and followed him out the room. Aizen and the others looked at them.
"We need to talk," Ulquiorra said. They nodded.
"The school is having a field trip to Tokyo for six months," Tatsuki explained. "And I was thinking is maybe Orihime can go?" Yamamoto stared at them with a thinking expression. "She can go but we, Shinigami, will also go," he announced. Ulquiorra was furious at the offer but this trip is going to help Orihime, so he kept his mouth shut. "But, she will have to get two seals on the day of the trip," he added. Ulquiorra was this (=) close to killing that man, but Orihime needs this. Ulquiorra and Tatsuki both nodded.
Orihime awoke from her slumber. Her little babies were still asleep. She picked them up and carried them out.
"Hello everyone," she said cheerfully. Everyone looked at her and smiled. They finally left that hell-hole and went on home.
