As everybody must know by now, contestantnumber2 has been a huge inspiration for me on this story, I love you and keep up the great work.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fade Away or Breaking Benjamin but sometimes I feel like I don't own... well... anything... sometimes I feel like I'm nothing but a worthless nobody... *curls up into a ball*
Shiro: A worthless nobody that doesn't own Bleach. *smirks*
Me: *turns to glare at him* You know, I'm the author of this fan fiction so I could do whatever I want to you and there are worse things than death... *smirks back*
Shiro: O_O
Shiro couldn't think... his mind was just too clouded and missed having his girl in his arms already but there was one thing he was sure of. He was happy.
"I'm so tired..." Orihime groaned, walking back into the room. She had gotten up to go to the bathroom after turning her alarm clock off.
"That's cause you wanted it hard. Welcome back, I missed you." he smiled up at her, holding the blankets up for her. She smiled back and crawled back in.
"Can't I just call in sick?" she asked tiredly into his chest.
"No. You're not in high school anymore Ori, this collage."
"You missed me the moment I left so what are you going to do all day without me?" she teased before kissing him.
"Good point, I might have to kidnap you." they kissed again as Shiro rolled on top of her. As they continued to kiss, Shiro slowly ran a hand down the girl's bare body to lift her legs up to his waist.
"Shiro I've got to get ready." Orihime objected, pulling out of the kiss.
"Just a quicky?" he suggested, nipping at her neck.
"I'm already-ah!" Shiro quickly pulled away, knowing that he had bitten her too hard. He was relieved to see that she wasn't blooding but he still felt bad.
"Sorry..." he kissed the red mark on her neck softly and then her lips apologetically.
"I'm alright, it doesn't hurt anymore." the girl insisted.
"Alright... when you get home you have no excuse though." he smirked, getting off of her.
"I don't plan on making any." she teased, getting back out of bed to start getting dressed. Shiro felt physically tired but mentally he was racing, feeling for the first time as if his heart was beating again.
'Maybe I'll tell her that one day.' he thought, rolling over to face the wall, hiding the wide grin on his face from his red head.
About half an hour later, she came back to him, telling the dark berry that it was time to go. He groaned in disapproval.
"Come on Shiro, I took it all. I'm really sore and I'm still moving."
"Yeah but I did all the work." he shot back playfully, rolling over again to see her. The teen was wearing dark skinny jeans, a white shirt that clung to her curves so gorgeously though the sleeves were lose and wavy over a black and red tang top, black flats, a few silver bracelets on each wrist, and a pure black choker. She smiled down at him with a wide, sweet smile. He threw the blankets and got up. Orihime staring at him the entire time while he walked to the dresser to slip some pants on. They may have had sex but the girl hadn't actually seen him. "Alright let's go." he spoke, taking her hand after slipping his feet into his shoes.
"You're not gonna put a shirt on?" Orihime asked as they started to leave.
"Nah what's the point? I'm just gonna come back home and take it off." Shiro pulled out his phone when it went off, playing one of the default ringtones while Orihime locked the door.
"Very true. Who's that?" she asked, taking his hand again.
"Ul..." he said more as a question before answering. "Hello?"
"Are you free today?" he asked bluntly.
"Uh..." he looked at Orihime for a minute then smiled. "No not today."
"Then what do you do all day when Orihime is at school?" he asked coldly now. Something was wrong.
"Fine but I need to be to the campus ten minutes before Ori gets out."
"Fine."
"So where are we meeting?"
"At the gates where you drop Orihime off." Shiro sighed.
"Fine." he hung up. He didn't want to do anything today but lay down and conserve his energy for another amazing round with his lover.
"So you and Ulquiorra-san are spending the day together?" Orihime asked happily and he sighed again.
"Seems like it. I can tell that there's something wrong with him and he helped me so it's only fair if I help him." she just smiled and they walked the rest of the way in silence.
When they finally came up to the school, Shiro instantly noticed Ulquiorra standing by the brick wall that he usually leans against while he waits for Orihime.
"Hey! Ulquiorra-san!" the red head exclaimed, waving and the raven lazily wove back though his eyes never left Shiro. When they came up to the gate, Orihime hugged Shiro saying goodbye and just when she was about to pull away to leave, the darkness wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close for a long kiss. When they finally parted, her face was bright red and Shiro just laughed which made her blush harder.
"Get on to class kid." he smiled, running his hand down her side. She nodded slowly and turned to leave, holding her face to try and hide the red. Shiro smirked before turning to the raven.
"So you two are together?"
"Is it that obvious?" Shiro asked sarcastically though the smile never left his face. The white raven turned to walk away from the school so Shiro followed. "So what's wrong?"
"Who said anything was wrong?"
"I did." the darkness said irritatedly. He never answered.
Neither of them said anything until they arrived at the graveyard. Shiro sighed but knew what the other was looking for so just went right to it. Laying across the four graves like usual, Ulquiorra sat at his side, reading each grave, knowing who they were from Shiro's story.
"So really, what's going on?" Shiro asked seriously and the raven sighed.
"Harribel went to visit Nel last night... she's getting released next week."
"And she's... coming after me right?" the raven nodded. "Well I can't say that I didn't see this coming. I'll be fine don't worry about me, I'm already dead remember?" he nodded again though still looked a bit sad. "Come on, what's wrong? You helped me, it's only fair that I return the favor." he sighed deeply, not looking up at him.
"It's just that..." he trailed when Shiro's phone started to play his redhead's ringtone.
"Hey what's-"
"Shiro someone brought a gun to school, he's holding us all hostage, I can hear police sirens outside but they're not coming in." the girl rushed in a whisper and Shiro sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Alright stay calm, just like we practiced when you were younger, I'll be there in a minute." he said, standing up and started walking, Ulquiorra following close behind.
"Please hurry..."
"I will. Now hide your phone so he doesn't see it and stay away from the windows. No matter what he says, don't move."
"Okay..."
"What class our you in?" he handed the phone to Ulquiorra who quickly took it and held it to his ear, putting the pieces together of the situation. When he handed the phone back, he nodded at Shiro, understanding what he wanted him to do when they go to the school. "Alright hide your phone and when he's not looking, turn the volume all the way up."
"Okay..." her quite voice shook with fear. He was so gonna beat this guy to a bloody fucking pulp.
"Hey... I love you." he said sincerely, trying to calm her.
"I l-love you t-too." he hung up, the less time they spent talking the better the changes were of not getting caught. The two started running, not saying a word. It only took them a little over two minutes to get there, there were a lot of cops that surrounded the school, keeping the viewers back.
"I sure picked a good day to skip..." Ulquiorra mumbled to himself.
"Which window leads into her class?" Shiro asked hurriedly as they approached the crowd. The white raven looked over all of them and pointed to one.
"Fourth floor, third window to the left."
"Are you positive?"
"Yes."
"Alright stay here and when I motion you to, call Orihime." Shiro called back to him as he started pushing his way through the crowd. He was now glad that he hadn't put a shirt on this morning, it would've only gotten in the way but it made his black stitches clearly visible. When he came to the police stop, there was a man in uniform in front of him that told him to get back... he was a bit farther up than everyone else but he took a deep breath and placed a hand on the man's shoulder before throwing his weight over the man. When he landed on his feet behind the cop, people started yelling in amazement and he darted towards the building, skillfully avoiding anyone that tried to grab him. Three more cops stood before him and the building. The first lunged at him but the dead berry spun himself left, avoiding the grab and processed forward. The second did the same thing but Shiro placed a hand on his head, pushing himself off of the man, forcing him to the ground. The last smirked and prepared himself like a football player but the white being wasn't intimidated whatsoever. Just as he was about to come in contact with the big man, he threw himself down, sliding feet first between his legs. "Later." he called as he somersaulted to get back up easier before continuing to run. When he came up to the building, he jumped as high as he could and grabbed hold of one of the bricks that it was made out of, quickly pulling himself up and climbing higher before anyone could even try to pull him down.
He got up to the second floor, there was a strip of smooth brick with nothing to hold onto. Luckily he had already seen this and made a plan. He positioned his legs on the building in front of his chest and let go as he pushed off the building. He heard a few people scream, thinking he was going to fall and die but his hand caught a thick branch on a tree that was at least a good ten feet away. In one fluent motion, he swung himself around the branch, landing on the top of it before hurrying farther up the large tree. When he came to the top of the tree, Orihime's window was still one up and the bricks were still smooth but there was another window beneath it that lined up with it. He jumped, using his legs for more power to go farther and caught the window ledge. Pushing himself up, he seen that there was no one in that room so he stood up on it's ledge and held onto the smaller ledge above it. Shiro pulled himself up slightly and lowered himself down down few times as if he was doing pull ups, breathing deeply with each pull.
He finally pushed off of the ledge, thrusting himself up and his fingers touched the bottom ledge that he was trying to get to but they didn't have enough space to grab onto it and he started to fall, people started screaming again. As he fell, he started turning but ran his foot against the building to straighten himself out again but was now upside down. As he came to the window he had used to push off of, he grabbed it again, his weight still trying to pull him down hard, he heard a few loud cracks and his entire arm hurt. He must have broken it in several places but pulled himself up to sit on the ledge. He let out a sigh of relief that he was able to grab it, falling so fast. That fall would've been so fucking painful even for him. Looking down at everyone below, he seen that they were cheering. He couldn't help a small smile from showing on his lips but got back to business and held his breath, looking away as he grabbed his arm. It might not be as bad but this was still going to hurt like Hell. He yanked his arm forward and everything in his arm shifted back into place. He squeezed his eyes shut and screamed in his mind and took a few deep breaths as the pain slowly eased.
"Are you okay mister?" a little girl's voice yelled and Shiro looked down to find her in the crowd. A small hand waved and he figured that it was her. She was about eight years old with dark brown hair and big green eyes. He smiled, she reminded him of Orihime when she was that age. His redhead who he really needed to get to.
"Yeah I just broke my arm but it's fine now, see?" he shouted back with a reassuring smile as he rotated his arm. Standing back up, he prepared for another try but stopped and turned back around when the girl's voice called to him again.
"Why are you doing this?"
"My girlfriend's in there." he called, pointing up at the window above him. There was enough screaming and yelling coming from that room and from below him that he knew that the guy with the gun wouldn't be able to hear him over everyone else. "She's really scared and she asked me for help. When I first met her I promised that I would never let anything bad happen to her. This is me keeping a promise." he called and turned back around to prepare himself with new confidence. 'That's right, you promised. Now it's time to get her.'
"You can do it!" the little girl's voice yelled and Shiro turned his head to see her. Soon everyone was chanting that he could do it. He smiled and looked away. Why did this feel so good? Taking one last deep breath, he lunged himself up and again and this time caught the ledge, everyone burst into cheers. Shiro's eyes widened when he heard footsteps coming his way from inside the room. He quickly lowered one of his hands into the small gap between the two bricks that formed the ledge so that his hand wouldn't be seen before pointing down at Ulquiorra who already had his phone in hand. He sighed in relief when the footsteps turned at the sound of a song.
"Who's phone is that? Who's fucking phone is that?" the guy yelled in panic. This was the fun part. Shiro used his feet again to push off the building but didn't let go of the ledge, causing him to flip up, his feet coming into contact with the window, shattering it to allow him entrance into the room. Some of the people screamed, covering their faces but Shiro quickly looked for the man with the gun, easily finding him since he was right in front of him, the gun was pointed to him but he grabbed the mans arm and turned it to a wall where no one was standing before he pulled the trigger, causing more people to scream. The dead boy was pulled closer so that his back was to the others chest with the gun pointed at his head. Before the man could say anything, Shiro elbowed him in the face hard three times before flipping him over his shoulder and kicked him in the face as hard as he could when he hit the ground. That was for Orihime.
"Stay down!" Shiro yelled at him before taking the silver revolver from him. He looked around for a moment as the students stood too shocked to move in complete silence. "Ori..." he looked around but he didn't see her. "Orihime? Has anyone-" he stopped when he felt arms wrap around him from behind and turned around to meet the girl's embrace. She cried into his chest and he just held her. "It's okay Ori... you're safe now... I'm here." he assured her, tilting her head up to kiss her gently. "I'm here." he promised as they parted. he looked back at everyone else who were staring at them. He noticed that the door had a chain around the handles and a lock holding them together tightly. Shiro carefully led the shaking girl to the window where he displayed the gun to everyone. "Anyone want it?" he called jokingly and everyone cheered for the hero. 'Hero... what an odd name for me.' he thought as he watched police rush into the building. He walked with Orihime to the door and with one kick, forced it open and everyone ran out as fast as they could. Shiro kept one arm wrapped around his girl protectively and with the other, grabbed the culprit, dragging him along as they left. When they finally got outside, they were surrounded by reporters, all asking a million questions at once.
"Sir what were you thinking when you went up there?"
"I have anxiety and I hate people, would you mind backing the fuck off?" he growled at everyone. A police officer with blond hair and a wide grin that should've split his face in two long ago approached them and made everyone back up. "Sure took ya long enough..." he said annoyed as he threw the man he had dragged down here at him. "There's your new prisoner." Shiro started to lead Orihime away. "When he wakes up, giving him my regards, tell him I hope his cell mate is a pimp who ass fucks him everyday for the rest of his miserable life."
"Will do Mr..." the cop trailed off, indicating that he wanted a name. Shiro stopped and Orihime looked back at the man then to Shiro.
"I have no name that is a concern to you." he responded evilly, not looking back. Ulquiorra walked up to them and put his hand on his shoulder, telling him that it would be best if they leave. So they did. It wouldn't take Shiro too long to take Orihime's shock away, she was already starting to get over it just from being near him.
I'm cold and broken
It's over I didn't want to see it come to this
I wonder if I will ever see your face again
And I know that I will find a way to shed my skin
It's simple I know that I will suffer in the end
Fast I fade away
It's almost over
Hold on
Slow I suffocate
I'm cold and broken
Alone
It's hopeless, the end will come and wash it all away
Forsaken, I live for those I lost along the way
And I can't remember how it all began to break
You suffer, I live to fight and die another day
Fast I fade away
It's almost over
Hold on
Slow I suffocate
I'm cold and broken
Alone
Fast I fade away
It's almost over
Hold on
Slow I suffocate
I'm cold and broken
Alone
I'm cold and broken
