AN:/ HEY GUYS, I'm updating this today cos i didn't do it yesterday. i was in so much pain on sunday that i couldn't even type up this chapter but im good now. I'm so happy for these reviews i keep receiving it makes me happy knowing you guys like this story and makes me want to update faster. In this chapter Aizen and the other Espadas are watching Ulquiorra and Orihime. Yes, Murcielago is staying because he is so cute and I want him. So enjoy guys.
Recap:
"Onna, today we are going to finish and further you education," Ulquiorra announced. Orihime was in Ulquiorra's private study, that was connected to his bedroom, sitting on a desk with pen, paper, a calculator, books and all the other schooling material you need. Murcielago wasn't there today because Ulquiorra thought he would be a distraction to her while getting her education.
"Onna, we are starting with science," Ulquiorra said. After they went through all of science then it was health, language, history, English composition, government, anatomy, psychology, mythology and more. Ulquiorra tried his best to teach her everything he knew about these subjects. It surprised him that Orihime could take in all this information without failure. When everything was completed Ulquiorra gave her tests and exams for all the subjects in high school and college level. It didn't take her that long to finish them. She gave the papers to him and sat back down to wait for Ulquiorra to finish grading.
"Onna, you passed everything," he announced. Orihime beamed and waited for whatever he had for her. He started teaching her how to protect herself, just in case he wasn't around and if men was around her like crazy hormonal freaks. He taught her judo, tai chi, karate, martial arts, boxing, kung fu, jujitsu, aikido, taekwondo, kalarippayattu, savate and more. He knew she was a first degree black belt in karate but he wanted her to be on his level of fighting.
Everything was completed and done with but not really. Orihime wanted to teach Ulquiorra on how to be human and to be more commercial but he disagreed with her. He rather be himself then be another person that he is not. Orihime pouted and crossed her arms to show that she didn't get her way. Ulquiorra titled his head a bit and stared at her pouted lips with interests.
Chapter 7: The Ring and the Beach
The audience were coming to watch another day of Ulquiorra and Orihime but someone was missing. Aizen wasn't there with them.
"Gin-sama, where is Aizen-sama?" Halibel asked. Gin smiled and said, "Oh you will see." They left it alone, sat down in their designated seats and waited for the show to begin.
The screen flicks on (again)
Ulquiorra laid across his double king size bed, thinking and resting his tired body. Training with Orihime helped him get all of his frustrations out about all these emotions that are coming upon him. Working with her on fighting was a bit overwhelming. Watching every one of her stances, moves, the way her body moved, the determination that shined through her grey-purplish eyes, the way her hair flew that looked like a flame dancing, the way she glistened from the sweat from the extreme training, the way she smiled at him, the way she laid on the ground from exhaustion and the way her mouth was opened to catch her breathe and the her chest up and down. He sighed from the image.
"I'm turning into Nnoitra and Grimmjow," Ulquiorra thought. He closed his eyes watching the images all over again until he heard his door opening. As fast as the wind, Ulquiorra grabbed his sword and pointed its tip at the intruders' neck.
"Your instincts are still amazing Ulquiorra," Aizen praised. Ulquiorra lowered his weapon and bowed to his master.
"Forgive me master, please punish me he way you see fit," Ulquiorra apologized. Aizen stared at his Espada and smiled. He went into his pocket and got out a black box.
"Then my dear Espada, take this and this will be your punishment," Aizen ordered. Ulquiorra stood up upright and looked at the black box. He really didn't know what was inside the contraption but if his master knew what was inside and it is his punishment so he had to believe his master wouldn't give him something ridiculous. He took the box out of Aizen's hand and opened it. Inside there was two rings. The ring on the left was a Keepsake Belmont Two Tone 1/4 carat diamond gold ring with carvings in hollow script and on the inside of the ring it had 'I will cherish you forever' with a hibiscus flower at the end. The second ring on the right was the exact same but smaller. It had a 1/4 carat diamond in the middle, the hollow script and it had the same wording ion the inside as well but it had a bat at the end. Ulquiorra gazed at the rings for a moment longer trying to decipher what Aizen wanted him to do with them.
"These are wedding rings for you and Orihime disguises," Aizen explained. Ulquiorra stared at the rings that are going to bind his and her fate forcibly together. He thought Aizen has finally gone coo-coo in the head. Ulquiorra already knew that the rings were quite good quality.
"Today is the last day for you two to be in Hueco Mundo and tomorrow you will know where you going to live from now on so I want you two to decide on what you want to do on your last day and when you do decide what to do come tell me in the meeting room." Ulquiorra nodded and watched his master leave his living quarters. The room was quiet again but not the way it used to be. The tension was still there when Aizen left. He couldn't stop staring at the rings. Ulquiorra took the ring on left out of the box and put it on his ring finger. It fitted nicely on him but it put so much weight on his shoulders. Gazing back at the box with the ring, for Orihime, was still inside it. He closed the lid, put it in his pocket and left to her room. The walk to Orihime's room was slow but peaceful so Ulquiorra could think. Murcielago materialized right next to him. He didn't say anything to his master he just followed with no remarks. They made it to Orihime's room to see her just waking up from her little nap. Murcielago ran towards her with a giddy smile on his face. Ulquiorra watched them with his mask on but he was feeling exasperated about how Orihime would take the ring. He took ring box out of his pocket and looked at with dread.
"Ulquiorra, what's that you have there?" Orihime asked with curiosity. Ulquiorra gazed back up to her, walked over to her and handed the ring box over in her hand. She took it and looked at it with horror. Her hands were shaking while opening the box and there she saw the third cage that was forced on her. She looked back up at Ulquiorra to ask if this was dream but she saw his ring on his ring finger and knew it wasn't. The room became awfully cold and no one spoke.
"Onna, today is our last day here in Hueco Mundo and Aizen has given us the privilege to do whatever we want to so what do you suggest?" Ulquiorra explained. Orihime thought for a while but it was hard to do when you just got a marriage proposal and you can't say no because it's not a dream it's real and she had to carry this man's children. She really needed air and bam she got it.
"I want to go to the beach with everybody," she cheered with a sad smile. Ulquiorra mentally scowled at the sad smile that Onna is giving out. He rather see her smile that smile he sees, expects and enjoys being directed at him. Ulquiorra nodded, he was about to leave when he grabbed the ring and placed it on Orihime's ring finger then he left without looking back.
Orihime could still feel the warmth from Ulquiorra still lingering on her. She stared at her hand and blushed from embarrassment. She shooked her head to clear it and looked over at Murcielago. Murcielago was playing with the pillow on the couch and saying 'beach' over and over again. She smiled at his innocence, in a way, that was so cute and him. She turned towards his way.
"Murcielago it seems like you really excited to go to the beach?" Orihime asked. Murcielago looked over to her and nodded excitedly.
"I never been to a beach before," he answered while moving his legs. Orihime smiled and nodded in understanding.
"I never had been to the beach either. I always wanted to go with my friends but they're always busy with other things," Orihime explained. Murcielago frowned at Orihime from hearing that about her friends.
"Don't you have any family members who could go with you?"
"No, some are in a different country and or dead," Orihime said. Murcielago's frown became deep and his eyes were revealing sorrow and unnoticed pity. Orihime smiled at him and he wondered how she could smile.
With Ulquiorra, he was walking towards the throne room so he could tell Aizen about the beach. He looked down at his hand. Still feeling the warmth of her skin lingering on his he relished the feeling and stuffed his hand in his pocket. He made it to the throne room, knocked on the door and went in after hearing 'come in.'
"My dear Ulquiorra, what have you decide to do?" Aizen asked.
"Onna wants for all of us to go to the beach," Ulquiorra said after a moment.
Aizen smiled, "That sounds like a good idea. Gin will be overjoyed about this information he always saying that its boring here. I will gather all of your brothers and sisters so we can go." Ulquiorra nodded and left to go back to Orihime's room.
"He accepted it and he wants to leave now," Ulquiorra announced when he walked through the door of the room. Orihime and Murcielago jumped up and down from the excitement they got ready to leave Ulquiorra gotten inside his gigai along with Murcielago and lead Orihime to Szayel's lab so they could go to the beach with everyone.
"We need to make a stop at the mall to get some bathing suits and whatnot," Szayel said. They went through the Garaganta that left them at Tiki Beach World (I don't know if this store exists). They decided to split up the girls went to the bikinis and the boys went to the swimming trunks. Halibel and Orihime were waiting for Halibel's fraccion and Lilynette to finish trying out suits.
"Orihime, how do you like Ulquiorra?" Halibel ask. Orihime turned her eyes to the female Espada wondering why she asked.
"I want to know because even though we hollows don't show it we do consider ourselves as brothers and sisters even when Aizen says it all the time," Halibel explained as if she could read minds. The real reason why Halibel asked is because she wants to know if Orihime would be the perfect fit to get Ulquiorra out of his shell and to be there for him.
"Well, um Ulquiorra is a bit harsh, abrasive and blunt but that could also go as a positive too. He is very thoughtful sometimes, patient, caring, smart, a gentlemen, shy and never likes excuses and I think that is what brings out his personality which I respect, trust and like," Orihime explained nervously. Halibel nodded and enjoyed of hearing Orihime's answer.
"Now I know he will be taken cared of" She thought. Halibel went over to the hangers with a bikini that held her eyes for a while. It was a blue bikini top and bottom. The top had blue straps connected to triangles with clouds as its design and the bottom was blue thong. She took it off the shelf and went in the dressing room. She came out a minute later with the bikini in her arms. Her fraccion had theirs and were helping Orihime find one.
"How about this one," Orihime smiled. Halibel and her fraccions, Lilynette viewed the bathing suit and didn't approve of it. She bought more bathing suits and they were denied. Having enough of the safe suits Orihime was picking Halibel found one that suited the innocent girl. It was a two piece green and white. The top was pure white and the bottom was green with a skirt stitched on hem that hides the thong underneath. She guessed Orihime's size since she has the same bust as she does. Halibel took all the bathing suits and paid for them. They left their side to buy sun lotion, sunglasses, beach towels, umbrellas, sandals, beach toys and so much more. Then they went to go find the boys.
With guys, Grimmjow and Nnoitra were arguing over a pair of trunks that looked more like tight speedos. Szayel, Starrk, Barragon, Yammi, Zommari, Aaroniero, Aizen, Gin, Wonderwiess, Tousen and Ulquiorra already had their trunks and were watching the fight between those two with boredom.
"Hurry up already. The girls might be finished already," Starrk groaned. Grimmjow and Nnoitra still didn't relent on the trunks so Ulquiorra seized the opportunity to find them trunks so they can go. He found two, grabbed them, walked back to his group, they paid for it, grabbed the trunk that those two were fighting over and dragged them out the store. They found the girls and they left the mall.
At the Beach
They made it to the beach and it was crowded. It was almost impossible to find a spot but they did after 5 minutes. They set their stuff down and gotten comfortable. Orihime grabbed out the sun lotion and applied it on her, Lilynette and Wonderwiess She passed it around to everyone so they could be protected from the harshness of the sun. Lilynette and Wonderwiess ran towards the water with a ball. Ulquiorra grabbed a book out of his bag and started reading, Starrk went to sleep next to Halibel, Aaroniero and Zommari were meditating, Gin and Tousen was talking, Aizen was tanning, Halibel's fraccions were playing with the Frisbee, Yammi was eating a hot dog and Orihime was building a sand castle.
After making her masterpiece Orihime decided that she wanted to go surfing so she got up and went over to the board shack to rent a surf board. The cashier was 16 year old high school boy who looked bored and didn't want to be there but when he saw Orihime came walking over he almost had a heart attack.
"Hi," Orihime said.
"H-hi, um how ccccan I help you?" he asked.
"I would like that surf board," Orihime ordered. The boy slowly grabbed the board and gave it to her. Orihime paid the renting price and left. The boy watched her leave and fainted from the massive nosebleed.
Ulquiorra saw all of what had transpired with the Onna and that boy and from the look of it he was not happy. Even though they had to be together for this mission doesn't mean that he couldn't be concerned about her well-being.
"That boy could watch all he wants but I'm the one she comes to," Ulquiorra thought and he returned to his book. After he got to the 54thchapter of his book, he flagged it, put it back in his bag and went over to the water and watched Orihime surfing. To see her playing with the water's fierce waves was astounding for him to watch. He wanted to know how she did it. How she controlled the board to go where she wants it to do. It amazed him to no extent.
Orihime came out of the water with the board under her arm. She was smiling a happy smile. Ulquiorra waited anxiously for her and he hoped that boy was looking from the shack to see who the Onna is coming to.
"Hey Ulquiorra, do you want to go water skiing with me?" she asked. Ulquiorra watched as trails of water glided down her skin taunting him do something but he held fast.
"What is this 'water skiing' you are referring to Onna?" he asked with curiosity. Orihime smiled and explained to him about it but to Ulquiorra it didn't seem to be safe but Orihime said it was really fun so he relented but he dread the fact that they had to go all the way to the shack where that boy was working. Orihime traded the board for two water ski machines the boy gave her the keys and almost whooped when their hands touched. Ulquiorra wasn't happy and wanted to kill the boy for touching his prisoner. He grabbed Orihime by the wrist but he intently showed off the rings to the boy to show they were together so he could stop his little fantasy about the Onna. He almost smirked when he saw that disappointed face from the boy and dragged Orihime away.
Orihime taught Ulquiorra how to start and steer the machine before they went in the water. They made sure they put on their safety jackets and went on their way. It wasn't that bad but he did get better at it. Ulquiorra quite enjoyed water skiing with Orihime. Even though he won't admit it but he had fun. They were on them for three hours before it was time to go back home.
Ulquiorra volunteered to take the water skis back to the shack. The boy was still there and he was still sad. When he saw Ulquiorra he frowned.
"How can I help you?" the boy seethed. Ulquiorra ignored the tension and handed over the keys and before he left he told the boy, "Just because you got to what a girl like her looks doesn't mean you can't have it in the near future."
Ulquiorra came back and stood next to Orihime. Lilynette was being carried by Starrk and Wonderwiess was being carried by Tousen. Everyone got their stuff and Szayel opened a Garaganta so they could go home.
Arriving back to Hueco Mundo everyone went to the showers to get all the sand, the lotion and water off of them before they went to bed. Orihime followed Ulquiorra back to her room while carrying Murcielago. Murcielago was asleep on Orihime's shoulder so Ulquiorra wouldn't be able to remove him from her presence. Orihime bid Ulquiorra goodnight and lay on her couch with Murcielago next to her. Ulquiorra left and walked towards his room. He went in his room, took off his shoes, took off his jacket and crawled into bed so he would be well rested for tomorrow.
