The espada trio would arrive just outside of one the towers that contains Orihime from her friends including Ace in a slight sense. Ulquiorra would then issue independent orders to his party members starting with Yammy. "Yammy. You shall remain here to ward off any who wish to enter, guard this entrance with the furthest extent of your abilities." "You got it Ulquiorra; no one is getting past me as long as I stand!" Ulquiorra would then turn his attention to the one that would dare to betray Aizen's will. "You trash, will follow me to retrieve the woman but I expect you to guard the second entrance that lays just outside of where she resides." Ace hated his situation, surely it was not to turn out like he had wanted to but he did have one option left, to persuade Ulquiorra himself to defect. "Alright Ulquiorra…." He would say with a major sense of depression as they departed into the tower. Knowing they would need to hasten their pace, they would fly up the spiral staircase as fast as they could in order to reach her. This gave the teenage espada time to think on how he could persuade the impossible. "What shall I tell him, hm…..well it's clear that we are all dropping one by one so I could blame it on Aizen for abandoning us which he clearly has, thus that could possible give him a ultimatum, betray Aizen or die for a hopeless cause. He may choose the latter though so I'm going to use force to convince him I'm serious." They arrive at the door just before where Orihime was captive that prompted Ulquiorra to speak "Now I want you to stand gu-" He was cut off by Ace who had grabbed him then shoved him up against the wall taking him off guard. "Open your god damn eyes & see the truth Ulquiorra! Can you not see that we are all going to die if we continue to follow Aizen's fucking orders, can you not see that!? Think for yourself for once, make a choice to betray him or die! I already had chosen so I hope you do too, hopefully the right choice!" Ulquiorra would throw off his arms from his jacket as if Ace's speech had little effect upon him. "Trash, do not touch me again. I should kill you just for that but you are lucky that I won't, plus I have already made my choice." "Then I'm coming in whether you want me to or not, I'm going to see my sister." "After I speak with her, then you can converse with her unless we have guests." "Fine, after you Ulquiorra."
They entered the room where Orihime waved at Ace to which he would wave back before the vampire would walk up to the girl thus putting his hand out to her chest, with the tip of his middle finger of his open palm lay where her heart was located. The girl was utterly frozen by the look in his eyes that once again intoxicated her before he would ask. "Will I find your heart if I tear open your chest?" This made Orihime sweat nervously due to two reasons, one was that he was touching her near her breasts but she dare not resist, while the other reason was that she could not tell if he was trying to be a threat or not but assumed he was. Ace was utterly perplexed as to what is happening at this point but he had no logical reason to clarify it. Ulquiorra would then move his hand to the girl's forehead before asking another question based around the heart. "Will I find it if I crack open your skull?" He was only met with silence thus he pulled his hand away making the girl a bit more relieved, but still on edge. He would go on adding. "You do realize Lord Aizen no longer has any more use for you, Ichigo will not save you from us, but are you afraid of me woman?" She would process this for a short moment, wondering what would happen if she answered him incorrectly to which could potentially be yes or no but she went with her gut feeling. "No, I'm not afraid of you Ulquiorra." Then suddenly he cupped his right hand around her cheek then leaned in to lock lips with the girl before they broke from it, Orihime was very red from the resulting kiss as it was her first. She realized what Ace had said previously about the first one making their move, it was Ulquiorra, the one who was most loyal to Aizen, who made the move.
Ace was simply quite surprised by the outcome of this before Ulquiorra would go on to tell Orihime. "Orihime Inoue, Aizen may have no more use for you however I do, Ichigo shall not save you for I will, most importantly however, I'm pleased that you are not afraid of me because I fell this 'love' as you human's call it, for you . The question is that if you feel the same way towards me." Orihime could not escape her feelings no longer, she had to tell Ulquiorra that she indeed favored him over Ichigo now, but she still didn't want him to die. "Yes I do feel the same way for you Ulquiorra, but what about Ichigo?" "He shall be dealt with either through reason or through force." He was already prepared to die for his newfound lover; he would go to the ends of the earth for a human. Ace had to question Ulquiorra as this definitely changed the situation in many ways. "Now what about me Ulquiorra, am I like off of being in trouble of being killed by you?" "You never were in that sort of trouble as I made this decision yesterday but I decided to tell her today." "You mean I was all worried for fucking nothing!? You dick!" "That was your fault for perceiving it that way, fool." Orihime found all of this funny as it was only making her feel better….until Ichigo arrived with his blade at the ready.
