A.N: Woo~ Guys sorry about how long I've been MIA. No one cares or wants to hear about my personal problems but that's why I've been gone for so long. I hope to god that this makes up for it, now I've tallied up the votes and you'll see in the near future about what had won in terms of relationships. (Sorry to those who have wished otherwise.) Read on.

Thoughts on the Matter

Sitting up in the old building, Ulquiorra went through Aizen's orders again and again, he said to kill Ichigo. He was unconsciously trying to find some sort of loophole to save Orihime grief, he had to do his job. He found himself confused at the thought of that woman's feelings. Why should he care? He's not even human, he shouldn't have feelings for anything, much less Orihime. He stood up and paced around the room. He stopped in the center of the room and looked through the hole that was in the roof. Moon light filtered through the wounded roof making the dust in the air visible. He looked over to his weapon that he'd left on the floor, Murciélago, He felt it was even stronger than before. He believed he could kill Ichigo this time, he knew the woman would get in the way. He needed to find a way around this, these… feelings, they were discouraging his better judgement of the situation. He had to get rid of them, somehow.

I have to kill the source… He thought hesitantly. He jumped through the hole in the roof. He looked around his surroundings. He knew what he had to do but something was stopping him from going to kill her. He couldn't understand the feelings that where appearing in his mind.

Orihime was asleep in her bed when thunder cracked outside. Rain had started falling a few minutes before she had fallen asleep. Her hair was laid out on the floor as she slept. Another crack from thunder sounded louder than the last, waking up the woman. Sitting up she walked to her window and looked out at the storm. She looked sadly at the rain, and went back to her bed. Sitting on the futon she listened to the storm, going through the day again.

"Ulquiorra…? Ichigo will get hurt… I can stop the fight, I have to somehow." She looks out the window before going back to sleep.

Thanks for waiting guys! Sorry this took only, like, FOREVER! Well thanks for being patient (Or yelling at your phone, "WHAT THE HELL IS TAKING SO LONG?!" I'll try and make the next chapter out sooner.
