Orihime Inoune slowly woke up the next morning and screamed.

A hand plastered itself over her mouth a second later.

"It's okay, Inoune-san." Rukia Kuchiki whispered, gently pushing the young woman back onto the cot. "You are safe now."

"Safe?!" Orihime got out the second the hand was removed. "What do you mean?! Where is Ulquiorra?! You didn't hurt him, did you?!"

Rukia shook her head. "No. Ichigo did not. But I am sure that he will take care of your captor in due time."

Orihime sat up in bed and looked around the small room with cream patterned wall paper. "Wh… where am I?! And what am I doing here?! I demand to know this min-"

"Calm down, please!" The Soul Reaper begged, wishing someone else was here to help her, but Ishida, Ichigo and Chad were busy talking in the other room. "I know it has been a huge ordeal to-"

Ichigo entered the room with a large smile on his face and his two assistants following him. "Hey, Inoune. Okay?"

"Okay?" She asked, a scowl on her face. "Okay, Ichigo? Come over here and I'll tell you."

"Yeah." Ichigo walked over to the bed and Orihime slapped him across the face.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" she screamed, her hand traveling back the other direction. "Kidnapping me?! I am not going to-I am going to get a few thing clear here, Kurosaki. I am going to back to Hueco Mundo wether you like it or not. Two. Everyone there counts lists like this. Three. I am leaving right this second."

Orihime threw off the covers of her bed and rushed to the door leading into the hallway. Only to freeze. What was this? The wall paper was stripped carnival colors!

She turned around to peer into the hotel room. "Kurosaki-san. Where am I?!"

"The one place I know the Espada will not come rescue you."

"And…" Orihime wasn't sure why they would de-tour this place. "Where is that?'

"The happiest place on earth!" Ichigo swept a kicking woman into his strong, muscular arms. "Disney World!"

"Are they serious?" Grimmjow snickered, staring up at Tia who just told them the news of Orihime's kidnapping. "Disney World?"

"I guess." Tia said. "That's what this note says anyhow…"

"And what does that say?" Ulquiorra had been out on guard duty and returned to find the one he loved missing. "Read it, now!"

He was going to get Orihime back if it were the last thing he ever did. Who ever took her was going to pay with their life and soul.

"It says… " Tia held up the postcard to her eyes. "Hey, Emo-face. I took your girlfriend. Na-na-na. Ichigo the most awesome. P.s. I took her to the Happiest place on earth. Hahahahaha! And you aren't invited to the wedding."

Grimmjow grabbed the back of Ulquiorra's robe at the last moment. "Calm down, buster! She'll be okay! Hell, she's happy! I mean, not being kidnapped. But where she is! Anyhow, we'll get her back, promise!"

"But…" he wasn't sure what to say. All of this was too much. "I…I love her."

"We know." Grimmjow said while Aaroniero began to sob due to the lack of girlfriend. "And we'll do anything to get her back."

"Which will not be anything." Tia said, knowing what was best be done. "That is how Orihime would want it, wouldn't it?"

Ulquiorra closed his eyes. It was true. Orihime wouldn't want them to rush out to save her at all. "Yes. It would be. And I cannot do anything but respect her wishes to take care of herself. But let me warn you Tia, I will not sit around for ever. One week and I am going to save her."

"Fair enough." Tia smiled a little. "Now, why don't I tell Captain Kid to tell Captain Postcard?"

"Yeah." Nnoitra grinned, too pleased with the interesting event. "Bet the bitch can beat up all those Soul Reapers. Who's got a bottle of water on this bet? Oh, we all think the same, except…Aaroniero… Sexist ass."

"Hey!" Aaroniero cried. "And since when are you a feminist?!"

Nnoitra paused. "Since a woman scrubbed my mouth with a toilet scrubber and forced me to cook and clean while duct-taped to a chair. It's a damn hard job to keep house!"

"…Good point." Aaroniero grinned and skittered to a corner of the room to hide.

"Say good bye to your two best friends!" Orihime screamed, thrashing in his arms. "And I don't mean the one behind you!"

Ichigo froze. What? What was that? What two best friends that weren't behin-

He dropped Orihime on the floor.

And she took off down the hallway, only to skitter back into the room.

"Forgot my purse!" She cried as she dashed back into the stripped hallway and to the steps that were indicated by a large red EXIT sign. At the next landing, Orihime cursed. What was she doing on the 14th floor?! That was too high up to run all the way down!

"But that's what they want!" She cried and threw the door to the 13th floor hallway and rushed to the elevator. "Come on, come on!"

She pressed the button again and again, hoping it would speed up the process, but the elevator was coming at its own pace.

"Shoot!" Orhime could hear the sounds of footsteps heading down the stairs, coming to take her back in captivity. The stairwell door opened and the elevator gave a life-saving 'ding' just as Ichigo ran up to her. She dashed inside and pressed 'L' and the door slid shut.

"Ah…" Orihime slid to the floor and smiled. "Safe."

Suddenly her phone gave a loud ring. 'Cause I ain't not Hollaback Girl! Ain't no-"Hello?!"

"Hello, this is Tia."

Orhime gasped. "Tia, how did you-"

"Ulquiorra gave me your number. Listen carefully to what I have to say and then I will hand him the phone for a minute."

"Yes." Orihime said, glancing up at the numbers that were down to 10 by now.

"We are not rushing to save you and that is final. We are giving you a week to get out of this mess yourself and if you can do it, you may join the Espada as we are in serious need of sensible women to-Nnoitra! Shut up! Do I have to scrub your mouth again?!- do you understand, Orihime?"

The young woman nodded, tears of happiness running down her face. They were not rushing to save her! "Yes. Yes I do."

"And, if you can," Tia added, "Bring us a post card and more water."

"Yes, of course." Orhime was so happy. They loved her! They frickin' loved her!

"Here is Ulquiorra." Tia handed the phone to the First Espada who she could tell was trying his best not to let his sadness show or tears creep out of his eyes. "You have one minute."

Ulquiorra put the phone up to his ear. "Hello. I want to come save you. But I know you can do it all on your own."

Orhime loved the sound of his voice. How she missed it already. "Thank you. Thank you for letting me prove my worth."

"No matter worth." He sat down in Tia's vanity table chair. "I love you no matter what."

"And…" Orhime wanted to speak, but her voice was cracking. "I love you too. I love you so much and I will be home as soon as I can."

"I look forwards to seeing you smile again." Ulquiorra confessed, finally letting his emotions show. "And take care."

"Oh I will." She replied. "Ichigo is going to be sorry he kidnapped me!"

"Let's hope!" someone cried in the background, making her laugh.

"And tell everyone thanks and that I'll see them soon too." Orhime added, feeling like her minute was almost over. "And Ulquiorra…I love you."

A long silence followed.

"Between you and I." Tia's quite voice came over the phone line. "Bring some tissues back. Ulquiorra's rather…"

"I understand." Orhime said, stepping out into the lobby of the hotel. "It's good for him to cry and I will be there soon to wipe away his tears."

Tia smiled faintly. "Good girl."

With that, she hung up, leaving Orhime Inoune on her own in the happiest place on earth.
