Thanks for reading the story!

I will keep saying that every chapter now because I'm very happy that you're still reading on my story.

Let's continue with the flashback.

Disclaimers: I do not own Bleach and their characters (definitely); they are all masterpieces from Kubo-sensei~

CHAPTER 3: WEAR IT OR GET UGLY

Changing the flower topic, he gave her a box which was bigger than her schoolbag a little bit.

"Here."

When she opened it, she realized that there were clothes inside, a uniform designed for female Arrancar.

The same style as his uniform.

She frowned at the new uniform. She preferred to wear her school uniform. "But I'm not an Arrancar."

"When you are here, you are the same as us. You should wear it to prove your loyalty for Aizen-sama."

"I don't want to." She showed him her defiance look.

"This is not negotiation, woman. This is an order. Wear it or get your friends killed." To reply her, he sent back his cold look.

"Why do you keep threatening about my friends' lives every time I disagree? I was already the prisoner here. Why do I have to look the same as you guys?"

This time, it took him a second of hesitation.

Why? I don't know why. It's for your own good, woman.

"You ask too much question. Besides I don't think it did any good if you didn't wear it." It might look good if you wear it rather than your old uniform.

"I don't want to." She still disobeyed.

He sighed. He had to think another threat.

"Such stubborn. Or do you want to let yourself starve and get ugly look while meeting Aizen-sama?"

She was startled at his new threat. She was sure that she didn't want that.

Starving might be OK for her, but getting ugly look was...

If Kurosaki-kun saw her like this, he would be hurt and blame himself. She didn't want to let him seeing her like that.

"Look, woman. Aizen-sama placed me in charge of your well being. And your duty is to keep yourself healthy and alive as much as possible."

He gave out his last reason to pursue her. If she disobeyed, then he had to punish her and it was so bothersome to him.

Though her eyes were unwillingly, she finally nodded and held on the Arrancar uniform.

As soon as he saw her acceptance, he turned his head and went toward the door after he gave her his last order.

"Wear it. And replace your old uniform in the box. I will return in one hour."

JinxJen's note:

This is how Ulquiorra pursued Orihime to wear the Arrancar uniform.

Because the old threat he made for her to "come with him" before didn't have any effect to her anymore, he has to think another one everytime he wants her to do something. Just like the meal time.

I think that's why he suddenly had that surprise comment at her uniform. At first, he only thought she might look good in it. But after she wore them for real, he didn't believe in his eyes that she surprisingly looked really good in it.

Flash back still continues and we haven't seen on how Ulquiorra know about the hibiscus yet.
