In the morning, Ulquiorra's wound had already healed. He got up and walked out the door, hands in his pockets.

Meanwhile, Shiruki now had even more motivation to help Ulquiorra. She didn't want a repeat of the previous night. Even though she thought she had made a fool of herself in front of Ulquiorra, she couldn't help it. She just felt so guilty. She was just standing there while he got hurt. She knocked on the door in front of her.

"Uunnn....what is it?" a groan came from inside.

"U-Um, excuse me, Stark-sama?"

Stark opened the door, "Oh. Hey, you're Ulquiorra's new fraccion, right? What do you want? I was right in the middle of a nap, you know."

"Oh, "I'm sorry, Stark-sama," she bowed, "but, well...you see...I...I want to get stronger, and since you're the prima...I was wondering...I know I'm not worth it, but would you please help me get stronger?"

Stark scratched his head, "Really. If you want to get stronger why not ask Ulquiorra?"

Shiruki shuffled her feet, "Well, you see, Stark-sama....I don't think Ulquiorra-sama likes me very much, and..."

He sighed, "Yea,yea. Hey, Lilynette!" he called into his room.

"What?!"

"Come help Ulquiorra's fraccion."

"Why do I have to?!"

"Because I'm going back to my nap!"

Stark went back into the room as Lilynette came to the door.

"So, what can I do for you today?" she asked, smiling with a hand on her hip.

"Well, Lilynette-sama-" Shiruki was cut off.

"Hey!" Lilynette pointed a finger in her face,"You don't have to call me sama, you know. We are both fraccion."

"Y-Yes, well, you are the fraccion of the Prima!"

"Tech, Stark? He may be the Prima, but he doesn't act like it. He's too lazy!" she waved her hand.

"You are also much more experienced and stronger than me."

"Come on! Just call me Lilynette!"

"O-Ok, L-Lilynette."

"That's better. So, what did you want again?"

"I was wondering if you could please help me get stronger by...training with me..."

"Sure!"

"What?"

"Sure! I've been wanting to fight someone, even if it's just practice, for a while now, and Stark's too lazy to practice with me."

"Oh. I wasn't expecting you to agree so easily, but thank you!" Shiruki bowed very low to show her gratitude. Her long blond hair touched the ground.

"Alright! Let's get started! Do you know where the training rooms are?"

"No... I had never practiced fighting before I became a fraccion."

"I'll lead the way, then! This way!" And Lilynette dragged Shiruki away towards the training rooms.

"Haaa!"

"Kya!"

"Don't run, Shiruki!"

"I-I can't help it!"

"Ha-ya!"

"Ah!"

"Hehe! Come on!"

"Ha!"

"There you go! Alright! Let's take a break!" Lilynette set down her Zanpakuto and leaned against a wall, "You're getting better. You're actually pretty strong for a fraccion. If you work really really really hard, you could raise your rank a little I bet."

"Haha, thanks, but I don't think that's possible for me...besides, I am Ulquiorra-sama's fraccion, I have to do my best to help him out!"

"What do you think your doing?" Ulquiorra demanded as he entered the training room the two hollows were currently occupying.

"Ulquiorra-sama!" Shiruki bowed and then walked up to him, "I was just practicing with Lilynette."

"Yea, she's pretty good,too!" Lilynette grinned behind her.

"Were you invited here?"

"No, I asked if I could they could help me get stronger."

Slap!

The room became silent. Shiruki slowly lifted her hand up to her left cheek. She flinched and closed her left eye when she lightly brushed her fingers over the red spot where she had been slapped.

"You do not ask someone higher than you to do something for yourself. You are trash. I am the one who had to take responsibility of you, I will not allow you to make me look like a fool. Trash" and with that Ulquiorra walked out of the room, and like usual, his hands were in his pockets.

Shiruki kept looking down at the floor, even after Ulquiorra had left.

"I," she slowly began, her voice dry, "I'm sorry, Lilynette. I didn't mean to... 'disgrace' you. Ulquiorra-sama is right, I am just trash. I can't do anything right." she looked up at Lilynette, smiling with her eyes closed up, "See you later." and she rushed out of the room. Once she was out of the room, Shiruki kept walking. She didn't know where she was going, she just hoped it would be away from Ulquiorra. After who knows how long, Shiruki finally stopped walking. The hall she was in was dark and had no doors. Slowly she slumped against the wall behind her and sunk to the floor. Slowly the tears began filling her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.

"I can't do anything right, can I? F-First, I get him hurt, then, I do something I'm not supposed to. I don't want to cause him trouble, I just want to be a good fraccion, be of help....but no matter how many times I say it to myself, I always keep causing trouble. Even though it's only been twice, I'm sure I will be causing more trouble if I keep going like this."

'Get to know him!'

'Yea! I shouldn't give up after two tries! I should get to know him!'

'Once I get to know him, I will know what he likes and doesn't like, and then I will know what I should and shouldn't do!'

'But then about the rules....I'll ask Lilynette about them! She's been a fraccion longer than me, and she's the Prima's fraccion! She will help me! Hopefully....'

But even though Shiruki began thinking of things to make their relationship better and for her to become a better fraccion, she still kept crying.

So......this is getting kinda hard to write....I have, what, two or three major things I want to put in the story, but I'm having a hard time getting there XP Well, I hope my writing will get better XP Thank's for the reviews~! I'll do better, I hope!
