Wow, just wow. Six reviews! I love you guys so much. And I also love Halloween. It's almost here! I can't wait it's getting closer and closer. Speaking of getting closer, I'm almost done with this story! Probably about five or six more chapters. Isn't that exciting…Or is it depressing? You tell me. So keep up the reviews. Oh and I may have had a lot of sugar so… if there's something weird in here like flying hippos or something like that, please tell me because I would not have meant to do that. Okay? Let's start! Hehehe...That wasn't me, I swear.

Mini Love. Chapter 6

Orihime ran closer to the familiar aura radiating from the barely lit room. She has felt this presence before but couldn't quite place it. She reached out her hand and felt something grab it and pull. She tripped over her feet but was caught in strong arms of someone familiar. She collapsed in this person's chest and stayed there. She reached her arms around him and felt him do the same. When she looked up she smiled brighter than ever thinking how right this was.

"What are you smiling at," questioned Ulquiorra.

"I'm happy that you're back to normal."

She shrugged her shoulders but still kept the smile. That was until Ulquiorra smiled back at her. She was shocked! He wouldn't do something like this! Before she could question him, he brought his face closer to hers and brought his hand to the back of her head. Without resisting she crept slowly forward as well. Just when they were mere centimeters apart he said something.

"Orihime…wake up…wake up…"

"Wake up!"

Orihime sat up immediately in her bed with a tiny Ulquiorra floating beside her. He seemed emotionless like always and Orihime felt some slight disappointment in her chest.

"What's wrong with you? You're dream seemed to be happy enough, so why are you frowning?"

Orihime felt the familiar burning sensation of a blush come onto her face. She grabbed a shocked Ulquiorra and threw him from her room. She couldn't believe he heard her dreaming about him! What else could go wrong?

…Okay, Ulquiorra could deal with the fact that she slapped him in Hueco Mundo; he could deal with the fact that she brought him back to life and was forced into a tiny stature; he could even deal with the fact that she was going to confess to Ichigo later today. But when someone throws him out of a room and makes them land in a forgotten bowl of chowder, the only thing she can make, that's the last straw! Ulquiorra grabbed a damp rag from the sink and wiped himself off. He breathed deeply a couple of times before thinking of his revenge. He looked around the room and saw Orihime's school bag sitting by the door. His brain started to click things into place and he went back over to the chowder. He grabbed two handfuls of the disgusting mush and flew over to her bag. He crept inside and looked for anything that would be perfect for him to ruin. Once his eye caught her homework that took six hours for her to do, he smirked.

Once Orihime finally got over the embarrassing dilemma and forced herself out of bed to her closet, she sighed. She knew that today was the day she would ask Ichigo out but for some reason her heart wasn't in it. She has had a crush on Ichigo since the first time they met. So why now all of a sudden did she not feel her heart beat any faster just thinking of him? She looked at her clock and realized if she didn't leave soon then she would be late…again. She hurriedly put on her uniform and ran outside her room towards the door. She grabbed her bag and said goodbye to Ulquiorra not even noticing that he didn't reply back or that her school bag was heavier than usual. After locking the doors she ran all the way to her school, not at all hearing the muffled sounds from her black bag.

Orihime made it to school with a few seconds to spare. Breathing heavily she walked over to her desk and slumped down in her chair. She put her head on the cool metal and breathed a sigh of relief. Her heated face started to go back to normal temperature by the time the teacher walked in and started class.

Ulquiorra hated today more than anything. Not only did he get dipped into chowder but his plan to put the offensive stuff on Orihime's homework backfired. He was busy doodling with one hand on her papers when he felt the bag move and face planted into the chowder once again. His other hand still held some of the goop but when he finally unstuck his face the bag seemed to have smashed against something and his other hand was forced onto his head. Before he could curse out the bag kept moving and shifting around like the person carrying it was running. His body moved in directions he didn't think possible and he started to feel nauseated. Once the movement stopped he opened the little flap and took a peek outside. He was at the school!

'Great, just great. How am I supposed to get out of this mess," thought Ulquiorra.

He crept out slowly and looked up only to look away quickly with a barely visible red across his cheeks. He really needed to talk to Orihime about wearing longer skirts. He went behind her chair and saw her focusing on the teacher and knew this was his opportunity. He ran all the way to the back of the room and stopped at the back door. He looked at Orihime and when she looked distracted enough he flew towards the door handle. Turning it as silently as possible he opened the door and flew right outside. Unfortunately, he heard someone yelling in the classroom.

"The ghost is back! Look, the door opened by itself."

Uh-oh. Ulquiorra needed to hide and he needed to hide now. He went outside and went towards the field by the school. He landed on the ground and looked behind him to see if Orihime was looking for him. When it seemed he was in the clear he looked around for anything to clean himself off with. He saw an outside sink by a shed and went towards it to wash off. After getting off some chowder he found in places it should never be, he hopped out and shook himself out like a dog. But then he froze after hearing voices from around the corner. He walked over and poked his head around to see Ichigo and Orihime talking. Ulquiorra knew that it was confession time, but he decided to stick around to see what would unfold.

After Orihime heard about a ghost she immediately looked down at her bag and saw it open and little footprints of white stuff leading from her desk to the door. She grabbed her bag and put it on top of her desk. She looked inside and took out papers with chowder dripping from them. It looked like someone started to write something on there but was then replaced by an unmistakable face print of the one and only Ulquiorra. She turned towards the door and saw faces of horror looking straight at her. Even the teacher seemed to be with the cowering students. One person pointed at her and screamed that she was haunted and everyone fled the room; except Ichigo.

"I think we need to talk," he said.

She nodded her head and followed him outside to where an abandoned shed lay near a sink. She stood in front of him with her head hung low in shame.

"What the hell happened in there?"

"I-I don't know. I thought he was at home but I guess I was wrong," replied Orihime.

"I knew this was a bad idea," Ichigo said while he paced back and forth in front of her. She wanted so badly to try to calm him down but she thought it was best to keep quiet. After Ichigo paced a few more times, he sighed and turned towards her.

"Look, just talk to him and try to get it across that he cannot come here again, alright?"

She nodded her head and shifted her feet. If she was going to confess to him, she might as well hurry up and do it. When Ichigo patted her back and gave a small smile she blurted out her confession.

"I-I like you Ichigo!"

He retracted his hand and stepped back from her with a shocked face. His mouthed moved up and down with no sound coming out of it.

"Orihime…I love you too."

(A/N: Oh no! It's turned into an IchiHime fic! Just kidding! I wouldn't do that. I just had to because of my notorious Halloween pranks. It's early but I'm not going to post another chapter on Halloween so here it is. Oh man, I wish I could see your reactions. Just don't kill me. Okay, go back to her blurting out her love.)

"I-I like you Ichigo!"

He retracted his hand and stepped back from her with a shocked face. His mouthed moved up and down with no sound coming out of it.

"Orihime…I'm sorry but..."

Orihime started to laugh hysterically with tears in her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry too…ha-ha…but that was so ridiculous…pleases let's just forget this happened. I'm pretty certain now of what I'm feeling."

She bowed to him and ran off without another word. Ichigo didn't go after her because he guessed on what she was talking about. But if that little demon hurts her, he wouldn't mind killing him all over again.

Ulquiorra couldn't believe it! One thing he did know was that Orihime was in love with someone else. He was upset but he couldn't protest. Why would she like him? That's when he decided about what to do with his own feelings. That's right he has feelings but not for much longer. He's decided to stop his feelings for good this time. There was just one thing he had to do first. How dare Ichigo reject her of all people! He needed revenge and he knew what needed to be done.

Orihime ran from the school away from Ichigo with a smile on her face. She ran until she came across the riverbank where Ulquiorra kissed her cheek and the place where she finally realized her feelings. She wasn't at all upset that Ichigo didn't like her back. It just made her see the truth and that was enough for her. She couldn't wait to tell Ulquiorra how she felt but she knew she needed the perfect moment. She looked at the water flow endlessly and felt in bliss. That was until she heard shouts coming her way. She turned and saw Ichigo with a bowl on his head and his face and clothes covered in chowder.

"Get back here, you flying rat!"

Ulquiorra flew towards her and hid behind her back. He stuck his tongue out at Ichigo and sat on Orihime's shoulder. When Ichigo stood in front of Orihime he started having an argument with the little rascal. Yep, everything was back to normal except for the fact that when one person's feelings were opened, another's closed.

How's that for a chapter! Good or what? Review like always! I'll be waiting! Bye.
