Shiruki plopped down onto her soft bed. She has been back in Las Noches for almost a month now since her and Ulquiorra had gone on her mission in the human world. She had had very much fun and still used the stuffed bunny Ulquiorra had gotten her as her hug pillow. Since they had gotten back Ulquiorra had begun to train with her again. It surprised her how strong she was. She felt like she could almost keep up with Ulquiorra. Then, one day she actually did keep up with Ulquiorra. Since then it seems she has been getting stronger than him.

'But that's just me being to kept up in the training. There's no way I'm actually stronger than him! He's an Espada!' she she found herself holding back almost half her strength now when she trained with him. It hadn't been to long into their training that Shiruki began asking Ulquiorra to give her jobs to do, such as paperwork and things like that. And unlike before the mission, Ulquiorra actually gave her things to do!

Shiruki giggled and hugged her bunny.

'Ulquiorra-sama....I used to think I just wanted to be the best fraccion ever...but...now I don't feel like that much more....I want you to simply...like me....' she closed her eyes, 'I hope I will always be your fraccion....'

"Ya think it's workin'?" Gin asked, stepping out from behind Aizen's chair.

"Why wouldn't it work, Gin?"

"Well, I was just thinkin' about Ulquiorra's feelin's! He didn't even want her as a fraccion in the first place."

"Yes. That's true."

Ulquiorra was sitting in his room waiting for Shiruki to come with the papers he had asked for. They had finished training and Ulquiorra needed to fill out some reports but had run out of paper so he had sent Shiruki out for some. He had somehow gotten used to her being there.

"Here they are, Ulquiorra-sama!" Shiruki burst in, a bright smile on her face and blank papers in her hands.

Ulquiorra took the papers and began the paperwork.

"-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~" Shiruki rang.

Ulquiorra looked up from his papers to her out of the corners of his eyes, "What."

"Ah, n-nothing!" Shiruki waved her hands in front of her.

'It's just fun saying your name like that~' Shiruki added in her thoughts before giggling. She really enjoyed being around Ulquiorra, especially today.

"You have improved your fighting skills." Ulquiorra said after a mid silence. Shiruki was shocked for a minuet, Ulquiorra almost never complimented her, before smiling brightly like before.

"I guess I have, Ulquiorra-sama, and it's all thanks to you!"

There was a pause.

"Say, if you don't mind, Ulquiorra-sama, may I go and practice a little?"

"Do as you wish."

"Thank you!" and Shiruki skipped out the door and headed to the practice rooms. Normally she would go and practice by herself a little after her and Ulquiorra had finished training, since she needed to let lose and not hold back after holding back for their long practice.

Shiruki was in the middle of practice when she felt someone behind her. She stopped and turned around to see who it was. There behind her was a smaller arrancar.

"Shiruki Isa?" it asked.

"Yep, that's me." Shiruki returned, wondering what it was going to say.

"Aizen-sama requests your presence."

"Oh...okay..." She set her stuff down and sonido'd to Aizen's throne room.

"Huh?!" Shiruki said, stepping back a step.

"Gin, please escort her."

"Yes, Aizen-sama." Gin went and began his way towards the huge white door.

'Is....this for real...? Heh.....I guess he really didn't want me...I'm a terrible fraccion.' Shiruki hung her head low, a sad smile on her face as she followed Gin out the doors.

Ulquiorra was sitting in his room, done with his paperwork. It had been a few hours since Shiruki had left. Usually she finished in half an hour or so and whenever she came back she would come in through the doors and great him with a, "I'm back, Ulquiorra-sama~! I'm sorry if I was too long!" a big smile on her face, a slight blush on her cheeks, head cocked slightly to the side. But she hadn't come back yet. He waited some more before sighing and exiting the room.

'Making me go and look for her....' he thought. He had come to actually like her some, more than he wanted.

Ulquiorra had walked through the main parts of Las Noches and hadn't seen Shiruki once. He sighed but still kept looking for her. He turned the corner on his way to the throne room when he saw Gin coming towards him from the way that joined with his.

"Ah! Well, if it isn't 'lil Ulquiorra! What are you doin' here? I don't think Aizen-sama called for you."

"I am looking for my fraccion." He said, a bit ashamed. Fraccion shouldn't have to have their masters look for them.

"Huh? So he hasn't told you yet?"

"Told me what..." Ulquiorra put his hands in his pockets.

"Shiruki ain't your fraccion anymore."

Ulquiorra's eyes widened, "What?"

"Huh? Silly Ulqui-chan, don't you remember? When she was first assigned to be your fraccion you said you didn't want one and that you wanted someone else to have her as soon as possible! We found someone who would be more than happy to have her as a fraccion. She's been their fraccion for...what..." Gin looked down and put his pointer finger on his chin, thingking, "About....four hours around there...? Well, something like that. Now you don't have to worry 'bout her anymore, see ya, Ulqui-chan!" Gin waved and continued his way back to Aizen.

'She's....... not my fraccion anymore...?' Ulquiorra headed for the part of Las Noches where the Espada's rooms were. He first checked Grimmjow, Stark, Barragan, Halibel, and Szayel if they had taken Shiruki. None of them had. Next he went to Yammy, Zommari, and Aaroniero, but they didn't have her either. Only one left...

"Nnoitra." Ulquiorra said as he saw him walking past.

New chapter finally up~ Sorry if I'm rushing things, the was I make my stories is I come up with a plot, add some main events to it, and that's it. For example this one is:

Love story between Shiruki and Ulquiorra. He doesn't want fraccion but gets one, Shiruki tries to help him, etc, go to human world for mission and get closer and SHiruki realises feelings little later, get back and Ulquiorra finally warms up to her, Shiruki gets new master, Shiruki ___________________________ and _____________________, Ulquiorra ______________________, Shiruki _______________________, Shiruki and Ulquiorra ______________________________, Orihime __________________, Shiruki __________________, Ichigo __________________, Shiruki ____________________, Ulquiorra _____________________, Shiruki ________________________, Ulquiorra and SHiruki ____________________________ , etc.

Yay, a little mini spoiler for the future events~ Okay, not really a spoiler up there, but kinda...?

So, yea, I plan out the main events and do the overall stuff like saying that they don't like each other in the beginning but end up falling in love, stuff like that, so it's kinda hard for me to put stuff in between......I'm sorry if I am rushing things, I'm trying not to 3 Well, thank you everyone for the favorites and reviews, and thank you for reading~!!! If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't have continued writing this story on here and I would still be locked in my head forever XP
