Chapter 21: Orihime's Secret

Walking down the corridor of Las Noches in a heated frenzy, Ulquiorra mumbled incoherently curses at Orihime's 'friends' under his breath, " Those stupid fuckers deserve to get killed by me. Especially Ichiog that moron son of ..."

"Logically I can see why Aizen-sama had me leave the meeting but in a 'boyfriend' perspective I had a right to do that," Ulquiorra said.

He stopped in the middle of the hallway staing at the ground while the servants were walking pass him to get to wherever they needed to go. Deep down he felt something wasn't right in his mind and his heart. His Onna, his Orihime, his Woman is going to die but they dont know when but dread washed over his being. 'I don't want her to leave me here by myself. She finally gave me my heart back and now its going to taken away from me yet again,' he thought.

Walking again, he decided to go to the music room to play the piano to calm down his nerves before he goes to the comfort of Orihime's arms and lay in her lap for a small nap. When he arrived in the hallway-where the music room was located- he heard a soft singing voice. Listening to the beautiful voice Ulquiorra hurried to see who it was. He pushed the door open and saw his Onna playing the piano and singing a mournful melody he didn't recognize.

Just standing there in the door way he listened to her play and sing for a few minutes until he walked over to the piano bench and sat down next to her. He wathced how her fingers would gracefully press down the white and blacks keys without force. Trailing his eyes up to her face he saw that her eyes were close and he was feeling proud that his Onna had gone to this level of her music knowledge but he wondered how does she know how to play? Was she self-taught or did she have someone teach her? Orihime's eyes slowly opened when she played the last note and let it linger for a bit. She turned to her boyfriend with a smile on her face by her achievement and by showing off her skills to Ulquiorra.

"So did you enjoy the show?" she asked.

"It was beautiful, who composed it, what is it called and how do you know how to play?" he admiredly said.

"Thank you. I did and it's called 'Bye Deeply' and self-taught," she explained with a giggle.

"I'm impressed Onna but as I recall you never mentioned about you teaching yourself how to play a piano or even owning one for that matter?" he asked. Orihime was silent and her smile turned to a thin line. Ulquiorra really doesn't like it when she has a thin line instead of a smile.

"Can you keep a secret?" she shyly put.

Ulquiorra felt insulted by her question, "Of course I can. Do you think so I'll of me Orihime?"

"No I don't. Its just that your the only one I told."

"You have't told me anything yet," he admitted.

"Okay, I had a life outside of this one," she gambled.

"And what was that?"

"I did some singing, dancing and acting," she admitted.

Ulquiorra stared at her so she could continue and she did. She told him everything that she used to do like being an actor for a tv show, being a the greatest dancer in history and being the greatest hit in singing world. Ulquiorra listened in wonder of how Onna has been a 'celebrity' but was saddened that some girl took that away and forced her to retire.

"That was my life before all this happened," she finished. She waited for Ulquiorra to say something but instead she got silence and it was frieghtening her a great deal.

"That is handful of information that you put on me Onna but I'm surprised you didn't tell anyone of this including your associates," Ulquiorra said. Oirhime nodded and looked down with shame.

"There is nothing to be ashamed of Onna. I procieve that you didn't want anyone to see or treat you differently. Am I correct?"

Orihime nodded and smiled at him for understanding, "Thank you. Can we play something together?"

"Yes and your welcome." They played numerous of songs together but Ulquiorra had that dread feeling again and he remembered about the dreams he had some months ago. 'I really can't lose her. We need to find a way to save her form this demise," he wondered and he kept playing the piano with his girlfriend until they couldn't anymore.
