Ulquiorra waited outside the door of Aizen's chambers. When the two large doors opened after he announced his name and rank he walked in looking around to see where his Lord might have been. Before he would have kept his eyes on the floor and waited till Aizen spoke to him to make direct eye contact, but an untrustworthy man just became even more mysterious to him.
He spotted him sitting on his throne on a huge balcony which outlooked on to the real desert of Hueco Mundo, the black sky was so conflicting to the bright white sands. He walked beside the throne and looked to his Lord who was gazing out into a world he controlled, the first of many he hoped. Without Aizen making any instigation to start their conversation Ulquiorra began to say something "Lord Aizen, about-"
"Orihime?"
"Yes"
"She wasn't harmed after the events on the balcony was she?"
"No, however i feel confused to why she was targeted to begin with"
"Ulquiorra I have been looking onto these sands for quite some time now and I wonder, do you think that the desert with it's elegant and soft white sand could fill up that empty black sky?"
"To some extent but there would be wholes,gaps, it's emptiness could never be filled completely"
"Yes, that's what I thought" Aizen grinned looking at Ulquiorra who was also now staring at the desert with much more interest now.
"And there's this thing in the real world called cake! I find you can only really appreciate it if you eat the WHOLE thing!"
"Is there any meat in cake?"
"None I can think of.." Orihime had her index finger on her chin as she looked up actually thinking about any experiences where she had eaten a meat cake. Her grey eyes were big and beautiful but often blind to the sarcasm of cynical characters like Grimmjow Jeagerjaques
"Then what's the point? on second thought.. I really don't give a shit woman.."
A strange sight. Grimmjow was sitting on the couch adjacent from Orihime with his right foot resting on his left knee and his chin in his hand. He was looking at anything, thinking of anything that could make this time go by a hell of a lot quicker. Ulquiorra had been soo paranoid about this human girl he couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he saw the two of them together. It was so easy to piss him off, the challenge was getting him to show it. Grimmjow liked a challenge. He had made the mistake of asking her what she was thinking about after a solid 10 minutes of silence between the two. He never expected it would be her favourite foods from the real world, which was a subject he didn't give a rat's ass about, but was now being told about in great detail.
"Ya know when Ulquiorra is getting back by any chance?"
"Soon, I hope" Her cheeks flushed and she looked at the ground as if he were standing there right before her. The look of a young girl in love, a look that didn't sit as well with Grimmjow as it did with Orihime.
"Yeeuck" Grimmjow stuck out his tongue showing his jagged teeth. He groaned at her state of infatuation and then shifted his eyes to be looking right at Orihime.
I don't get it..This chick is helpless, an idiot, annoying as hell AND a human.. Ulquiorra must have some alterior motives, I mean I could kill the girl but then it would be done and over with.. Plus I just got my left arm back, don't need Tosen's boy scout persona to shine through again. He was mad about insobordination, if I killed a girl he'd probably incinerate the rest of me..
"OH! I ALMOST FORGOT!"
Grimmjow's train of thought was broken by Orihime's sudden excitement. He kept his eyes on her but didn't change his body positioning at all, which was lacking any enthusiasm towards the girl since he had gottten there. He just stared at her and so she put her head back down thinking he didn't want to hear what she had to say. Which he didn't, but sitting in an awkward silence having her look like a kicked puppy was even worse then having her talk to him. So he gave in to the princess's pleas.
"What is it woman?"
You would think Orihime's expressions were using sonido as she went from looking stiff and disapointed to glowing with joy and enthusiasm.
"ICECREAM, it goes on top, beside or sometimes inside the cake, it's cold though gotta watch out for BRAIN FREEZE!" Orihime stuck out her arms like a zombie and had the expression of what she though was the walking dead on her face. Comedy, yes that was the way to win over an espada who's' idea of a joke was punching his fist through your chest.
Grimmjow's head cocked down from the final blow in a constant barrage of human stupidity he had been enduring.
There's gotta be better ways to piss off Ulquiorra then this..
A knock on the door.
"YES!" Grimmjow stood up swiftly and walked over to Orihime's couch, he put his arm on the back of the couch and pulled her in.
"Grim..what are you?"
"Say one more word, and your dead"
"Yes.." Yet Orihime didn't actually feel frightened by his threats, she didn't know what she felt but it wasn't fear. He had been knocking vigourously while she was asleep and when she finally opened the door an impatient Grimmjow mowed his way into her room. He told her he was stopping by for a while to keep an eye on her. He mumbled about it being an order from Lord Aizen but his story was short, choppy and unbelievable. Sitting in such a close proximity to an espada made her only think of one person and in her daydream she relaxed her body and sat more comfortably and closer to Grimmjow.
"I'm coming in Orih.. is someone in there with you?"
He always was pretty damn good at that reiatsu stuff..
Grimmjow had to step it up a notch, Ulquiorra would know it was him in there by now. It wouldn't be good enough just to find them there together, he couldn't hurt her so he had to hurt him.
"Grimmjow" The name came off his lips as icy as ever when he burst open the door to see what on earth the sixth espada was doing in Orihime's chambers.
There, sitting side by side on the couch Orihime Inoue and Grimmjow Jeagerjaqques... were sharing a kiss
