That Dark Hole Called Love
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach
(Ulquiorra's P.O.V.)
Seeing her like that, bored with nothing to do, no smile on her face, dark bags under her puffy, red eyes, it made me want to scream. I had no idea why, and I don't think I exactly wanted to know why either. However, something about that girl Orihime intrigued me. She... Wasn't anything like the female Espadas or the female Fractionnes. She was... Kinder, more relaxed. She cared about people, whether they were enemies or friends. It didn't bother her when I had asked her to come here with me in the first place. She had,a at first, looked shocked, but then she ended up calming down, a pondering thought left in her large brown eyes, and she had agreed to come with me. It was... So weird, but so interesting at the same time.
"Geez, I'm turning into Szael Apparo Grantz..." I muttered. I walked down the bland white-gray halls of Heuco Mundo, my hands shoved deep into the pockets of my white and black uniform, my Zanpaktou clinking and clattering like rusty pots hitting each other. I sighed, until I felt a familiar speck of Spiritual Pressure.
"What was that about Szael Apparo?" I heard someone say. I turned around, faced with a muscular Espada. Someone whom I didn't exactly get along with. Blue hair and deep blue-indigo eyes, and the jaws of a tiger skeleton grasping the right side of his face firmly. His body was turned so that a number 6 was showing from his angle leaned agsinst the wall behind me.
"Grimmjow JaggerJack." I growled. He started walking up to me and he smirked, his deep indigo eyes gleaming with mischief and curiosity.
"Is that chick starting to get to you, Ulquiorra?" he sneered tauntingly. I closed me eyes before re-opening them. I started walking past the sixth Espada and side glanced at him, a bored expression plastered onto my face as if to say "Why would I be?"
"No." I answered his question. "It's a pointless question to ask since we all know the answer. Only Lord Aizen has an interest in her, because of her unique power to turn back time in order to heal pepoles injuries. You yourself were a witness in that power, Grimmjow, or have you forgotten that she was the one who healed your arm?"
I heard Grimmjow grit his teeth in frustration and anger, and a low growl escaped his lips.
"Don't get to close to her, Ulquiorra." Grimmjow muttered darkly. I turned the corner of the hallway and continued to walk my long path.
"Don't worry, I won't."
(Orihime's P.O.V.)
Still stuck here. Nothing to do. No one to talk to. Not a word to say. I felt like screaming. Not much to do here, other than slowly, but surely, lose my insanity. After being able to hear everything, every little sound that took place in this.. This prison, it felt like my ears would bleed from all the wretched sounds that came through the walls. The little creeks and crumbling sounds. The screeches and growls of doors. Everything made shivers travel up and down my spine. This place, it cornered its victims and made it so that they lost their consciousness in their fright. It scared me. I need Ichigo here with me. I want him to hold my hand, to hug me and say "It'll be alright, don't worry."
"Ichigo... Please hurry and save me... I know that it was my decision to come here in the first place, but I don't think I can bear being alone any longer. I miss you, and Rukia, Renji, Chad, and Uryū. I miss you all so much. It's starting to tear me apart."
(Ichigo's P.O.V.)
"Ichigo... please..."
I stopped. In my pursue to reach Orihime's apartment as fast as I could, I thought I was hearing voices. I could've sworn someone was calling out to me. I turned around to see if someone was behind me. No one there.
"Ichigo... Please hurry!"
There they were again. Someone was in trouble. Someone who knew me, was calling my name.
First I'll go to Orihime's place and see if she was the one who healed my wounds last night. Then I'll go back and help that person calling me. It shouldn't take too long. I decided. I continued on my path to Orihime's house as fast as I could, so that I would make it back in time to help that person calling me earlier.
When I reached her apartment, the place was dark and lifeless, as if no one had lived there for ages. I reached a hand for the doorknob, to see if it was unlocked and the door just opened by itself. I pushed the wood door aside cautiously and entered Orihime's home.
"Hello?" I called out. No answer. "Is anyone home?"
I tried again, and this time the floor shook. I cried out in shock, and tried to grab something to keep me steady.
"What's going on?!" I yelled. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I could see a bright light shining from Orihime's living room. Voices were heard from there as well. I made my way into the room, to see that Rangiku, the Lieutenant of Squad 10 and her Captain, Toushirō Hitsugaya were there. Rukia and Reni were there as well. There was a huge screen attached to the middle wall in the room and plugchords ran all over the room. Rukia turned and noticed me.
"Ichigo! What are you doing here?" she asked. The rest of the little group turned around as well.
"I came here to see Orihine. Someone healed my wounds last night and now they're all better. I traced her Spiritual Pressure last night too. And the window of my bedroom was wide open." I explained.
"Orihime isn't here Ichigo. That's why this communication device is here. We're trying to reach the Soul Society to see where she is." Captain Hitsugaya explained to me. Suddenly the large screen lite up, and the Head Captain was shown. As always, his expression was unreadable, but we could all tell something was troubling him. I was about to open my mouth and ask him what was wrong, but he beat me to it.
"Orihime Inoue has been captured and taken into Heuco Mundo!"
