Chapter 6: Aizen's Plans

Ulquiorra was very glad when he finished his duty. Now he could go back and see Midori. He wondered how she did during the day, considering she didn't want him to leave. He sighed. He didn't have much of a choice about leaving her. It was Aizen's orders, and he could not disobey them without being punished.

Anyway, he was sure Grimmjow took a good job of watching her. He did like her after all. He of course would make sure nothing bad would happen to her. He was uncle Grimmjow.

Ulquiorra almost snickered, because at first Grimmjow hated the fact that she called him that, but now he seemed quite content with it. Children apparently have that kind of affect on people.

Quickly Ulquiorra shuffled through the portal and made his way home. He had gained a fast and upbeat walk as he went through the halls. He would be happy and relieved once he could see his daughter's face.

He was just outside of Grimmjow's door when the same person he was about to go see called to him from the left side of the hall.

"Ulquiorra!" Grimmjow called. He seemed desperate and slightly shaken.

Ulquiorra stood there and just looked at him for a moment. He had never seen such a worried look on Grimmjow's face. Something was really wrong.

Grimmjow immediately raced to his side. He panted slightly, as if he'd been running around for quite some time.

Ulquiorra curiously peered around. Where was Midori?

"Um… Grimmjow," he said, tensing up. "Where's my daughter?"

Grimmjow suddenly gulped. He knew that he would have to tell Ulquiorra that he lost Midori, but this wasn't going to lead to anything good.

"I lost sight of her for one second and she disappeared." He said. "All I know is that she's still probably here, so she must be with an arrancar."

Immediately the albino arrancar's face looked shocked. He couldn't believe it. Grimmjow lost his daughter, and in Heuco Mundo of all places. What if Noitora found her?! He would spoon her to death! (LOL. I couldn't resist making a slight spoon joke on Noitora's behalf.)

"You…Lost…Her?" He gawked, angry, but scared that something horrible happened to her.

"Oh, she should be fine," Grimmjow announced trying to make light of the situation.

"Not if Noitora finds her!" Ulquiorra exclaimed in a panic. Now, he was fretting about, completely worried about his kid again. He was trying his best to put out the worst-case scenarios of her getting murdered by some of the arrancars. He just had to hope she was alive and well.

He left in search of Midori. Grimmjow wasn't far behind. That kind of annoyed him. Why was he still searching? He already lost the kid. Why was he still trying to help?

"Why are you still searching?" He growled at the 6th Espada.

"Because I like the kid dammit, and I'd frickin feel guilty if she never got found," Grimmjow announced bluntly. His face looked totally disgusted with himself.

Ulquiorra became silent for a moment. Guilt? Since when had Grimmjow ever felt guilt?! He almost scoffed at what the man said, but found he really didn't have time to question him on idiotic reasons. He needed to find his daughter.

"Do you have any idea where she might be?" Ulquiorra asked, nervously.

"Somewhere?" Grimmjow said, sighing, "I have no idea."

"Rrr!" Ulquiorra growled in frustration. He desperately ran around in search of her. He suspected that Aizen had taken her. It would make sense, taking her while he was gone. That sounds like something Aizen would do.

He knew he had to go check with his superior to see if that was where she was. He needed to know!

He ran off to Aizen's room to speak with him.

"Aizen-Sama," he called a little shakily.

"Oh, Ulquiorra my boy, what brings you here?" Aizen said casually.

"Do you know where Midori is?" Ulquiorra asked, hopefully.

"No, I haven't seen the little angel since you left," Aizen smirked. He almost seemed like he were lying. That drove Ulquiorra mad. He had to know where she was; he just had to because he had her eye on her for an entire week.

"I'm gonna ask you again, Aizen-Sama. Where is my daughter?!" He growled at him.

"Yeah!" He could hear Grimmjow agreeing with him in the background, "Tell us where you took her!"

Aizen smirked broadly. He kept his head leaning against his balled up fist for support.

"Well I did have things planned, but I guess I could tell you where she is," he half-laughed. "Since there's no way I can apparently keep secrets from either of you. She is with Gin in his room."

If he weren't so pale already Ulquiorra's face would have gone paler. Gin?! Gin Ichimaru!? Why? He was more of a pervert than Grimmjow! Who knew what he might possibly do to Midori! This was freaking both Ulquiorra and Grimmjow out. For once they had the same thought.

Without further talking, Ulquiorra ran out of the room and quickly to Gin's. He hoped that nothing horrible happened to Midori or he was going to kill Gin. He barged into the room to find strange music going. Not horrible, dirty-like music, but fun, techno dance music. This confused him. What the hell were they doing in there!?

Ulquiorra barged through the door. Immediately he gawked after he did so. It looked like they were having a dance party in Gin's room. There were many arrancars mingling about inside. At the current moment some of them were surrounding someone, trying to show them some dance moves. He was curious who it was and approached. He was surprised to see Gin and Midori in the middle of it.

Midori's hands were lifted up to the top of her head and balled up. She started swaying about back and forth sticking her hips out.

"Go like this!" She informed.

Gin looked confused.

"C'mon Gin!" some one called from the group. "Just do as she does and you'll get it."

Gin watched the child for a moment, and then self-consciously started to dance along in the same fashion. The crowd cheered, applauding him for his efforts.

"Woo! Go Gin!" A chick cheered from the crowd.

"It's still not as half as good as the kid's dance though!" Someone called laughing.

Gin pouted but continued to do the cat dance with Midori. She seemed to be having fun.

Ulquiorra was relieved that she was okay, but something still didn't seem right with Aizen. He said he had plans. Was he going to do something to her? What did he have planned?

Once the music stopped the crowd parted Midori finally noticed her father and Grimmjow. Happily she pounced at him with a hug.

"Daddy!" she exclaimed, cuddling his mid section.

Ulquiorra smiled and hugged her back. He finally got the welcome he looked so forward to. He was happy that she wasn't hurt or anything. This was much better than all the horrible thoughts that controlled his mind.

"Hey sweetie," he said smiling.

Midori looked over to see Grimmjow. She smiled and waved and kind of struggled out of Ulquiorra's grasp.

"Hi uncle Grimmjow!" She said giving him a brief hug.

"Hey kid," he said lightly.

She broke away from his hand and started to pull him to the middle of the room.

"C'mon!" She called dance with me!" She begged.

"Fine," he said and went to dance with her.

Ulquiorra stood idly in a corner of the room. Eventually Gin came up to him doing his odd fox smile.

"Hey Ulquoirra," he smiled.

"What's with the party?" He asked.

"Oh… well the child was starting to get bored and I haven't had a party in a long while, so I decided to have one. Of course it completely slipped my mind that I don't know how to dance," Gin announced.

" Why were you watching her? What does Aizen-Sama want with her?!" Ulquiorra asked slightly desperate.

"I'm not sure. He never said. He just thrust her on me and told me to keep an eye on her," he shrugged.

"Um… oh," Uquiorra depressingly stopped the conversation there. He put his sights back on Midori. She was cat dancing with Grimmjow now. It was so cute. It kind of made him sigh. What could Aizen possibly want with her? Was it because of the fact that she was half arrancar?

He stood by a wall the entire time. He could not find it in himself to go out and mingle with the others.

Midori on the other hand was a social butterfly. She made friends with just about everyone in the room. She was having a great time.

He sighed he wanted the party to end. He needed to ask her if she knew anything why Aizen wanted her. Most likely she didn't know.

About an hour later the party finally ended and Ulquiorra could finally take her back to their room. She was exhausted, so he let her piggy back him. She was pretty close to falling asleep.

"Midori," he asked.

"Hmm?" she murmured drowsily.

"Do you know anything why Aizen-Sama would want you?" He asked quickly.

"No," she mumbled, yawning.

"Kay," he sighed.

He took her back and set her on the bed. She was basically already asleep. She had worn herself out at that party.

Softly, he lay next to her. He gave her a brief goodnight kiss, and then embraced her.

"Goodnight," he yawned.

She was too tuckered out to even speak. She just nodded, and then was out.

Ulquiorra barely managed to get to sleep. All he could think about was what the hell Aizen was up to. It annoyed him very much. What was he planning for Midori? He was worried beyond compare by now. More than he had a couple of days ago.

Even as he slept his mid was still on the question giving him nightmares about his poor little daughter.

(Next chapter will be a little better than this one, which was a little boring to me. I'll try to update as quickly as I can!)
