I totally forgot to post the ending... I honestly thought I did.
"So Nnoitra is dead…. That's a shame. He was one of my favorites," Aizen sneered.
"Let her go now! I told you what you wanted to know!"
"Who said that I was going to let her go?"
Aizen's grip tightened, Orihime felt her body go numb, her vision was getting blurry. Ulquiorra could not believe that his human lover was going to die. He felt his world get cold as he watched on helplessly as Aizen took away her life. The light in her eyes was fading fast. He watched as she looked at him and mustered all her strength to smile. Ulquiorra felt like he was stabbed by a thousand swords drenched in poison. He dropped to his knees.
"Bankai!"
Aizen was slashed into halves. Looking up, Ulquiorra saw the familiar orange haired Shinigami, Kurosaki Ichigo. He freed Orihime from Aizen's grasp and took her to Ulquiorra. "Take care of her," he said. He turned back as Aizen regenerated, "I'll defeat Aizen." Ichigo slammed Aizen through a wall and took him into the desert. A shocked Ulquiorra was holding a bleeding Orihime. He tried to stop the flow, but to no avail. "Move aside, I'll take care of her," a woman said. She was a Shinigami, wearing a captain's cloak that had the number 'four' on it. She quickly went to work on Orihime and slowly, her color returned to her skin.
"She should be fine now, she just needs a lot of rest," Unohana informed him. "How come you're all not attacking me?" Ulquiorra questioned. "We all see how much you care for Inoue-san, we've collectively agreed that you're on our side," she replied. Ulquiorra smiled. He was immensely relieved that she was going to be okay, but there was still Aizen to defeat. He looked at Hallibel, she knew that he was going to assist in killing Aizen but she had already sacrificed too much, she was leaving Hueco Mundo for good. He understood as she disappeared into the night; Hallibel was gone. He didn't blame her, he looked through the broken wall; he could see flashes of light where the fight was taking place.
"Ulqui…. Stay… with… me."
He looked back at Orihime, and held her hand, "I'm not going anywhere."
She smiled at him before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.
~*Later*~
Orihime woke up in a very familiar place. It looked like the Kuchiki Byakuya's house. Sitting up slowly, she realized that there was a strange weight on her legs, looking down, she saw Ulquiorra fast asleep on her lap, his black hair causing a wonderful contrast against the white sheets. A few lines creased his forehead, they were faint now, but she knew when he was awake, it was etched deeper. He looker even paler than before, the green marks on his face stood out prominently.
Suddenly, he stirred. He stretched and yawned, unaware that Orihime was awake. Unable to contain herself, she stifled a giggle. He tensed when he heard the noise and immediately looked at her. She could hear him sigh in relief as he captured her lips with gentle passion.
Breaking the kiss reluctantly, he whispered, "Welcome back, Hime. I missed you. You've been asleep for about a month now. I was so worried."
"A month? You're not serious. What happened after I passed out? Are you okay? Is Aizen dead? What happened to Hallibel? Did anyone die?"
"Shhh… Calm down. Breathe; I don't want you to pass out again. Hallibel left, I don't know where she went, but she's safe. Aizen died, but Ichigo almost died as well. His hollow took him over completely and he went berserk, killing Aizen and almost killing me when I tried to stop him. I'm fine now. How are you feeling? Your friends have been very worried."
"What? You almost died?" tears began streaming down her face.
"I'm fine now Hime," he whispered as he held her, "Shhh…. Don't worry. It's all over now."
He wiped the tears away and pulled her into a hug.
"I love you, Hime."
"I love you too."
The end... I know it was short, but, I see no reason to prolong it... :3 Sorry to anyone who was waiting.
