Not so Happy Ending
~Ulquiorra~ The Neighbors
~U~
I felt something that hurt on my chest. It really hurt! But I didn't SEE anything that hurt… And I see everything! I even saw the one time that Nnoitra-kun was hugging his teddy bear!
"Szayel, Niero, will you stay with him? I'm going to go make some food for all of you," I heard Mommy say as she kissed my head. "I'm really worried about him… Ulquiorra hasn't been this troubled since his birthday…"
My birthday… When I turned four, I couldn't sleep at all! I kept dreaming and thinking of…I don't know… I remembered seeing a long table. I was sitting across from Grimmjow. Leroux-san was sitting next to Grimmjow. I remember seeing Szayel-kun, the twins kinda, and Nnoitra-kun. The lady with blonde hair and green eyes was there, too!
The scariest thing was…we all had… bones and holes! Mine was where my bandages were…
"Uw-Uw-Uwookiowa?" asked that twin as he poked my side.
I remember…
~U~
Ku…Kurosaki…? There was an orange haired guy. I was there, too! And like all my other dreams, I was an ad-ult!
I looked really cool. I was slashing and slashing at the orange haired person, but they were dodging… he con-cen-tra-ted really hard than he grabbed my wrist.
Then…he slashed me! Right across my chest! It didn't really hurt, but my jacket broke. There was blood, too!
~U~
My chest feels all weird… T-there might be blood!
"AHHH!" I screamed as I bolted up in my bed.
"Ulquiorra-kun!" exclaimed Szayel-kun as he rushed over.
"Uwookiowa!" shouted Niero as he followed Szayel. "A'rwe you okay?" He looked kinda worried as he picked up Dracula from the floor. "Herwe."
I unzipped my green jacket and felt my chest. Phew! There's no blood! But I do feel tingly… I felt like…something was…I dunno…
"Uwookiowa, a'rwe you okay?" repeated Niero as he set Dracula down next to me. I nodded after a sec. "What we'rwe you dweaming about, Uwookiowa?"
"I…I…nothing…wait…" What if they laugh at me cuz I dream about weird and scary stuff? "U-um…"
"What was so scawy, Uwookiowa?" asked Niero.
"A-ah…nothing, Niero! I-it was just…um… a shark…trying to…uh…steal my…um… chocolate milkshake…" I wasn't really lying… I had this feeling Tia-san liked sharks. I dunno why… "…And I wanted it back…"
"Oh, that WOULD be bad… A'rwe you okay now, Uwookiowa-san?" asked Niero. He smiled when I nodded.
"My, my, you're talkative, Niero-kun. I'm guessing you like Ulquiorra-kun?" asked Szayel-kun as he patted Niero's head. Huh…I never realized he was so short…
"Yeah, he's nice!"
"Isn't Ilforte-nii and the others nice also?"
"Yeah, I guess…but Uwookiowa is weally weally nice! He's sick, too, so we should be weally nice, too," said Niero. "Wanna pway a game wit' us, Uwookiowa-san?" I smiled.
"Sure! I've been really really bored! And you don't have to call me Ulquiorra-san. You can call me Ulquiorra! And since you're so nice, I'll let you call Ulqui. You two, Szayel-kun!" I felt pretty happy that I found my friends in the neighborhood.
You see, Mommy moved us here not too long ago cuz this is a 'newer neighborhood'. She said that I would make some friends and we'd all be best buddies.
I decided that my best buddies would be Niero and Szayel. I guess I HAVE to count Nnoitra-kun cuz he's my cousin an' all.
"Alrighty! And you guys can call me Szay," said Szayel-kun as he smiled.
I grabbed Dracula as we headed down the stairs.
This is gonna be a great day!
~U~
"Hahaha! Come on guys!" said Szayel as he ran ahead of us, waiting at the corner of the street. "Mother got Ilforte-nii and I a new tent to play in! It's really big and can fit up to 10 sleeping bags!"
"Wait! Szay-kun, are you allowed to cross the street?" I asked as Niero stopped, bumping into me a bit.
"Uwooki-san, maybe your utder neigh-ber can cross us! Someone told me dat Leroux-san is old enough too…" suggested Niero as he tugged at my sleeve. I followed him to the Leroux house.
When we got there, I realized something… Leroux's are pretty tall… Their doorbell is kinda up high to reach too…
"That's too high… I can't reach it…" I said as I looked up. I didn't wanna hurt my hand when I'm knocking, so I didn't knock.
"Maybe you can pick up Niero-kun and he can press it," said Szay-kun as he caught up with us.
"I can't EVER pwess de button har'wed enough!" said Niero as he crossed his arms and huffed.
"I can pick you up, Ulqui-kun," said Szay-kun as he got on his hands and knees. "Well…maybe I can't, but climb on my back and give it a shot!"
"But I don't wike shots! DEY HURT!" yelled Niero. "I dun' think dat Uwooki-san's gonna wike 'em either…"
"No, shot as in you're trying to do something, Niero-ku-!"
"Brats, get out of our yard!" shouted Mr. Leroux as he grabbed me an' Szay-kun by our collars.
"OW! OW! YOU'RE HURTIN' MY NECK! LET US GO YOU BIG DEMENTED BULLY!" shouted Szay-kun.
"WANT DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE PINK HAIRED FREAK?"
"Honey, BREATHE! They're just children! Just put them down and relax with me," said Mrs. Leroux. Mr. Leroux put threw us on the side walk.
"OW! HEY! I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL YOU BIG MEANIE!" I shouted. "I THINK YOU BUSTED MY HEAD AGAIN!"
They just stared at me weird. At least they left us alone…
"Hey, Szay-san?" asked Niero. "What's…de-mwented mean?"
"Yeah, what DOES it mean?" I asked. I AM a curious kid, you know.
"I dunno actually…"
~U~
Since we had nothin' else to do, we decided to go two houses down from Leroux's. Some girls lived down the street and we never met them!
"Um…Ulquiorra-kun, when your head hit the sidewalk…" started Szay-kun. "I know this sounds scary…but whenever someone our age hits their head that hard on a side walk…it hurts so bad they cry…"
"REALLY? It barely hurt for me!" That's so weird!
"Yes…but…I think I know why it didn't hurt as much for you…"
"Why…?" I asked. What did he mean?
"For a VERY VERY short second, I saw something…blurry by your head… It covered the side of your head that hit and…looked like…bones…THAN IT DISAPPEARED!"
"I saw dat, too! It was kinda…weally scawy wookin'…" said Niero.
"WHAT? BONES? D-does that mean… I'LL DIE?" I'm kinda…no…really scared…I heard you when die, you…disappear…I'm scared…
"E-eh…Ulqui-kun, c'mon! Let's go meet those girls down the street! Don't let something scare you like that!" said Szay-kun. He grabbed our wrists and dragged us down the sidewalk! Well…he ran, THAN he sonido'ed in front of the house.
"Dat's a girwy house," said Niero as he looked up at the two floored house.
"Who's gonna help me ring the door bell?" I asked. Everyone likes making doorbells hard for us, don't they?
"I will! I neva rung one befor'we, so I wanna try!" said Niero-kun. We all raced down the sidewalk path and up the three steps.
"Okay. Ulqui-kun, you and I will lift Niero-kun up and he can ring the bell."
We both lifted up Niero-kun by his legs. He let out a lil' yelp as he reached higher than the door knob. "Wow! I feel so tall right now!"
"R-ring the bell! Hurry! GAH! YOU ALMOST STEPPED ON MY GLASSES! NOT THE FACE!" shouted Szay-kun as Niero tried pressing the bell.
"I'm twying, I'm twying! DE BUTTON'S SO HAR'WED!" he yelled as he kept pushing it harder.
"N-Niero-kun, you're hurting my head! Could you please hurry up?"
He pressed it and we heard a ding-dong inside!
"I DID IT! DID YOU HEAWRE DAT? I DID IT!" he shouted as we dropped him to his feet.
~S~
"I'LL GET IT!" shouted my sisters as they ran down the stairs.
"NO! YOU GOT IT LAST TIME YOU WEIRDO!" shouted the nosier one.
"BUT I'M OLDER!"
"NO YOU'RE NOT!"
I sighed, they're so noisy! So while they were fighting, I hopped down from my seat and walked over to the door.
My sisters and I are all adopted. I'm the oldest, and Mila-Rose is the youngest. Mila Rose and Apache were from different families. So that's why they make the most noise, but we got used to it.
"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR?"
"I'm older than both of you." I said as I hopped up a little bit to grab the knob. Great, our aunt locked it again. I sighed as I unlocked it, jumping up a bit again to open the door.
There seemed to be a lot of noise out there… The others rushed to the door behind me. And to our surprise, three boys were at the door.
~U~
"I did it!" yelled Niero again as he hugged Szay-kun. When the door opened, a girl with pink eyes and olive-greenish hair opened the door. She had as white clip in her hair and had a long sleeve over her mouth.
"Hey, you're the boy who fell outta the window a little bit ago didn't you?" asked a girl behind her. The girl behind her had dark skin and dark brown hair. She had a fake tiara in her hair and a small dress on.
"Shush, they're our neighbors!" said the girl in front as she turned back to us. "Hello, I'm Sun-Sun. These are my sisters, Mila-Rose, and Apache."
"WHY AM I MENTIONED LAST?" yelled 'Apache'. She had dark blue hair and two different eye colors! She was wearing this weird thing on her head that made her look like a unicorn! (AN: They actually said that on BleachWiki XDDD)
"Shush, anyways, who're you?" she asked as she pointed at us a bit.
"I'm Ulquiorra Cifer, that's Szayel Aporro Grantz with the pink hair, and the shorter one's Niero Ar-Aru-Arru-Arrur-"
"Niero Arruruerie," said Niero.
"Yeah, what he said," said Szay-kun.
"We're all kinda new to the neighborhood, do you wanna walk around with us?" I asked. Sun-Sun nodded.
"Sure, aren't we all kinda new?" she said as she stepped outside. "I'M GONNA GO ON A WALK UP THE STREET!" she yelled inside the house. SHE IS LOUD!
"I don't wanna go, Sun-Sun! A plain old walk is so BORING! I wanna wrestle!" yelled Apache.
"You always wanna wrestle!" shouted Mila-Rose. Sun-Sun just rolled her eyes before shuttin' the door and following us.
~U~
"Woah…that's…huge…" I said, staring up.
"Quite elegant and pretty! Big for sure…" said Szay-kun, saying the same thing.
"I wonder who owns the place?" asked Sun-Sun.
"That's the BIGGEST house I've EVE'WR seen!" shouted Niero as he looked up. "Ar'we we gonna knock on the door?"
"It'll take a while to walk all the way up the huge driveway…not to mention this kinda big house is called a mansion…" said Sun-Sun.
~S~
We ran for quite a while… It was tiring! Szayel-kun and Niero-kun even had to take breaks, so did I, but Ulquiorra-kun ran all the way! He did slow down though… When we did get up to the huge door, we all looked up.
"That's a huge door…" whispered Szayel as he looked up also. "How're we gonna reach the doorbell?"
"How about we make a pyramid? Szayel-kun and I will get on our hands and knees while UIquiorra-kun will stand on top of our backs and ring the bell." Everyone nodded at my idea.
"Good idea! Okay! Just don't fall, Ulquiorra-kun. Your mother said that you haven't been feeling well," said Szayel as he got down. I did the same also as Ulquiorra-kun climbed on top and stood up.
"I'm fine! I just remember scary things…" he muttered as he hopped up a bit and tapped the bell. A ringing sounded through the huge house as there was a few thumping sounds.
~U~
"Hello, young children. I am Findor-san. What may I do for you today?" asked a blonde guy. We all stood still for a bit before Sun-Sun stepped up.
"We were wondering if there were any…er…children in this big house. It looks really pretty and we saw some toys on the outside," she said as she pointed to a bike. "This caught our eye cuz it's the only mansion and biggest house on the street! And we've never really been to the end of the street…"
"Ah, come in, come in." We were about to step inside when Niero and Szayel poked/tugged at our sleeves.
"Sunny-chan, Ulqui-kun, Mothers says that we shouldn't go into houses of strangers. We don't know this man," whispered Szay-kun as he glanced up with a smile at Findor-san. We thought this over. Maybe he was right…
"FINDOR! WHO'S AT THE DOOR?" yelled a voice from the inside. It sounded like a kid!
"A-ah, I'm so sorry! Some children from the neighborhood have come to play with you!" we heard a shout of something that sounded like "FOOL! BRING THEM IN! I'VE BEEN BORED!" as Findor smiled down at us.
"U-um…do you think we should go in?" asked Szayel. Sun-Sun and I shrugged.
"Szay-san, I gotta go home. Mommy says I gotta be home at dar'wk. It wooks kinda dar'wk…" said Niero as he pointed at a red brick house that was two houses down from the big house and Szay-kun's house.
"I'll take you home, Niero. I gotta tell Mother where we are first."
So we decided that Sun-Sun and I would go inside. And if when Szay-kun knocked and no one answered, he would run home and tell his mommy to call the cops.
~U~
"I'm sorry ta keep you waiting, but Charlotte will escort you up to Lord Barragan's play room. By the way, welcome to the Luisenbard Mansion," said a short guy as he pushed us towards a lady with purple hair. I learned that the short guy was named Ggio Vegas. He seemed nice.
"Um, Miss, why are you wearing…that?" asked Sunny-chan (she allowed us to call her that. She's part of our buddy club!) Ew…that looked gross! Guys would have…that not ladies!
"Child, you are quite funny! I'm Charlotte Cuulhourne! I'm a man, but I am the MOST beautiful being in the world!" he/she yelled as he/she twirled around. HER FACE WAS SCARY! HER CLOTHES WERE SCARY TOO! AND SHE'S A GUY?
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Sunny and me.
"It's alright children, the lightening and thunder is quite scary, but my beauty will protect you.
"AHHHHH!"
~U~
We walked into the room and it was FILLED with toys! There were so many that I couldn't even count! Well, I can't really count past 50 that well yet…
"My beauty will rub off on you Ulqui-chan and Sunny-chan!"
"AHHHH!"
"CHARLOTTE! LEAVE!" yelled a white haired kid. He wasn't old, but he had cool white hair! And dark skin, not as light-dark like the Tia Espada lady I remembered, but dark. He was wearing a king crown and cool fancy robes!
"I think I'm prettier that Charlotte," whispered Sunny-chan as she shut the door the moment Charlotte left. I nodded as we turned around to see the kid again. He looked like a king…
"Your ma-jest-y," said Sunny-chan with a giggle as she curtsied. "I'm Sun-Sun. And this is my friend." I bowed a bit.
"Your…ma-jes-ty… I'm Ulquiorra Cifer!" I said as I pulled Dracula from my jacket. "And this is Dracula."
"Cool, I'm Barragan Luisenbarn! But you can call me King Barran. Let's play legos!" he said as he hopped off his fancy spinny chair and walked over to a bucket. He dumped it over and TONS of legos fell out!
We all sat down on the floor and started putting them together. There were so many colors! I liked the green ones a lot. Sunny-chan used some light green ones, pink ones, and yellow ones.
"Let's make a house out of these! It could be like a fort!" I said as I started to make the walls.
"Or a mansion! It could be big and pretty like this one!" said Sunny-chan. I nodded and we started to build our mansion. It was so full of colors and looked like a rainbow!
"You should build a castle! A really big one! That's red! I have a LOT of red legos," said Barragan.
Sunny stopped for a second. She frowned as she turned back to Barragan. "Barragan-ku-"
"HEY! It's KING Barragan!"
She sighed, "KING Barragan-kun? Why aren't you working on the castle-mansion?" she asked. He laughed.
"Kings don't work. Now, build my castle or I'm gonna get mad!" he said as he plopped down on his spinny chair again.
"It isn't fun if you don't help," I said as I put down my green block. "We won't really be playing with each other than…"
"It's not supposed to be fun! Its work!" said Barragan as a ringing sounded.
"Yes, it is! Legos are really fun! I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're making Legos hard and not fun!" said Sunny-chan as she stood up. I did too and we stomped to the door. It opened! And standing behind it was…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
TBC!
Hm…For those of you wondering when Harribel and Starrk are coming, the answer is: Once they die in the Japanese Bleach Episodes. *cries* sadly…that's not too far away…
Please and thank ya for the reviews~
