Tatski watched as Grimmjow stood up and made his way to the door. She called to him quietly, but he just looked at her. The look however was one she couldn't let go. After a few minutes of debating with herself. She followed after deciding that Orihime was fine with Ulquiorra.

/\/\/\/\

When Tatski opened the door to the street Grimmjow was there waiting. She walked over to him not liking the distant look on his face. His face almost always smiling was now cold.

"Grimmjow?"

"Tatski", Grimmjow took a breath, "I gotta go."

"Why?", she didn't really want an answer.

"Because, if Orihime is here then that means that my 'friend' sent her back for a reason."

"Are you coming back?", she asked with moist eyes.

Grimmjow chuckled, "If the 'reason' is who I think it is then probably not."

She watched as he let his Gigai fall to the ground. Her Grimmjow was now the powerful and deadly 6th Espada once again.

"Good-bye...", Tatski wiped her eyes to stop any potential tears.

Grimmjow caught her chin as she was about to go back in, "Good-bye?, what about good luck or see ya soon?"

"Well you said you weren't coming back."

Grimmjow stomped, "I said I probably might not come back! Not that I wouldn't."

Before she could answer he pressed his lips to hers. He pulled away before she could talk. He laughed quietly at her expression and opened up a Garganta. However before he took one step in he was blown back. He stood just in time to watch Aizen throw an unconscious Tatski to the side.

/\/\/\/\

Orihime felt Ulquiorra tense up and look towards the hall leading to the front door. Before she could ask he was on his feet and on his way out. She tried to follow, but he turned to her and said,

"Woman, stay in the house.", and walked away.

She stayed there till she heard the door open and close. Then she stood and quickly followed. What she saw was her worst nightmare.

/\/\/\/\

Grimmjow gasped as Aizen twisted his blade in Grimmjow's abdomen. Grimmjow rubbed some of the pooling blood on to his hand to fire a Gran Ray Cero, but Aizen caught his wrist and snapped it.

\/\/\/\/

Ulquiorra opened the door to a cursing Grimmjow. Aizen turned his head when he heard the door, and he smiled when he saw Ulquiorra.

"Why what are you doing here?", Aizen said kicking a fatally wounded Grimmjow down the road.

Ulquiorra narrowed his eyes as he looked at Grimmjow. He was confused he had never seen anything like Grimmjow before. He turned to Aizen who was now right in front of him. His eyes widened as Aizen made a slash ad his neck. His eyes widened even more when the blade met a orange triangular shield.

Aizen quickly turned a glare onto Orihime. She had interfered 'again' with what he was planning. Aizen's anger broke threw his calm face when he felt a hand, no a fist, make contact with his head. It didn't hurt but he still loathed the fact that Ulquiorra had hit him.

Ulquiorra had taken the only opening that was given. Aizen didn't let it happen again and smacked Orihime threw one of Tatski's windows. He caught the pipe Ulquiorra had swung at his head and cut off his arm. He fell to the ground and got pinned there by Aizen's sword. Ulquiorra looked down to the machete-saw like blade now stuck in his chest.

Aizen looked at the life start to fade from his eyes and said, "Don't worry. She'll join you soon enough."

As Aizen turned to a bloody Orihime staring in the sky he said, "They are not coming. The shinigami have no idea what's happening right now."

Aizen laughed at her crest fallen look. He slowly made his way to her. He probably would have killed her if a large green lance didn't impale him. Both Aizen and Orihime's eyes widened as Aizen was thrown back. Orihime felt her silent tears run down her face. In front of her was Ulquiorra. Not the Bat-Ulqui, not the human Ulquiorra, but the real, full, whole number 4 Espada.

Ulquiorra Schiffer.

Ulquiorra's two halves had become one. When the human one died his part of the soul flew to the hollow half and they became complete. Aizen was Dumbfounded, how could he still be alive? He didn't get time to ask. As soon as the dust settled Ulquiorra attacked. Orihime watched as once again she saw Ulquiorra cross blades with the former captain, Aizen.

Orihime didn't see the fight. She didn't want to. She put her head into her hands and cried. She cried for Ulquiorra, she cried for Grimmjow, and she cried for herself because once again she couldn't help him.

When she finally looked up she saw Aizen on one knee holding his chest. She watched as Ulquiorra went up to Aizen and without a word let Aizen's head roll.

\/\/\/\/

"Damn it!"

Orihime and Ulquiorra looked to Grimmjow, "Grimmjow, you are trash."

"Shut up!", Grimmjow coughed, "Am I going to die?"

"Most likely", Ulquiorra said coldly.

"Tsk, still mister no emotion?", Grimmjow died laughing at Ulquiorra, how fitting.

Ulquiorra walked to the crying woman. As he approached she calmed down. He cupped her face with his hands and leaned close. She leaned closer preparing for a kiss, but he turned and whispered into her ear,

"I found my 'Heart', and it was here.", he pointed to her heart.

She tried to stand, so he got on to his knee to help. However when she put pressure on his shoulder she had to watch once again as her hand went threw him.

"No...",was all she said before he disappeared.

She was silent for a long time. Tatski had gotten up and was trying to get her into the house. Then she arched her back as the pain wracked her body.
