Thanks for reading the story!
This chapter is Orihime's POV.
And just as the title shows, it's her flashback of what Caja Negacíon is.
Grimmjow proudly made his appearance in this flashback.
Well, he was the main cause for this story's idea after all.
Disclaimers: I do not own Bleach and their characters (definitely); they are all masterpieces from Kubo-sensei~
CHAPTER 10: ORIHIME'S SIDE ~ FLASHBACK
While she tried to recall what Caja Negacíon was, she also tried to figure out what his answer meant. She remembered the former by Grimmjow's words,
"Caja Negacíon are little boxes that can eternally imprison weaker Arrancar in a separate dimension."
But she couldn't explain the latter.
Did that mean both of us were trapped here eternally?
But it was Ulquiorra who used it on him. Which kind of person who would trap himself?
Grimmjow said that they are not designed for the Espada, so he could break out.
But what was about Orihime?
I'm not an Espada nor even an Arrancar, yet I was in here. How come? Or did he intend to trap me here?
She was confused by her own thought. Her eyes strangely looked at him as if she wanted an explanation from him.
His face was still deadpan as ever. But somehow she felt in his eyes, there was something amusing in them. They opened slightly widely for a second, glinted for a second. His pupils looked down for a second, and the next second looked straight at her face.
She could see her own reflection in his eyes.
Before, she always thought that Ulquiorra was a stone.
He was the same at any angle. Nothing could express on his face. Even his eyes. It was always strangely fierce, violent, and emotionless green.
Only until Grimmjow took her out of her cell and brought her to heal Kurosaki-kun, he suddenly appeared in the middle of Grimmjow's yelling.
That was when she started to see the change in his eyes.
It was the first time she saw his anger. Even Grimmjow also saw it. No, "saw" was not the right word. More likely she "felt" it.
At that time, he looked straight at her angrily.
Yet, the oddest was she couldn't find any negative feelings inside that she could be angry back at him. She only felt that she was the one wrong in that situation.
She slapped him (although it was him who made her mad), broke out of the cell (although it was Grimmjow who did, but she went along it him), and was healing Kurosaki-kun, the one she was not allowed to heal (although she wanted to heal him).
She wanted to be angry, but she couldn't bring herself to do that, especially when he was angrier than her.
What she could do at that time was turning her head to the side, not looking at him.
But his face softened the second time she looked back. The anger in his eyes disappeared and they returned to emotionless state as normal.
He turned his eyes toward Grimmjow and demanded Grimmjow to "hand her over."
JinxJen's note:
For those one who still didn't know what Caja Negacíon is, I already explained fully in this chapter.
Caja Negacíon was a Spanish word, meaning "Negative Box."
I use the reference from chapter 278: Heal The Crash when Ulquiorra and Grimmjow confronted each other because of Orihime.
The exchange eyes between Ulquiorra and Orhime were odd at that time, and it tickles my Ulquihime shipping bones.
Next chapter is Ulquiorra's reaction during Orihime's flashback.
