Hey Guys! Sorry this is so late! Like many months late. I got kicked out of my Dads house and I had to get a job to support myself and go to school at the same time so yeah...

I am really sorry for the lateness.

Enjoy.

Touch of a Demon

Chapter Three:

Solar Eclipse

His body pulsed with every memory; every memory of her body, her voice, her beautiful Grey eyes and especially the beautiful little flutter of her fingers as he touched her.

It had been nearly four days since he felt her last. It pained him almost as much as it pained her, this lack of physical contact. He wanted her to yearn for him the next time he took her.

Aizen Sosuke closed his eyes and went over the first time he touched her.

It was hardly something he could forget.

Ulquiorra knocked once on the door and announced his entry. He wasn't surprised to see her sleeping on the couch. She had been like that every time he had seen her in the last few days. Closing the door behind him he entered the bathroom and filled the tub with hot water. His orders were to be ' warmer ' towards her and in doing so he was ordered to prepare her nicer meals and prepare her baths.

He walked back to her and gently nudged her shoulder. She opened her eyes and yawned at him.

" Ohayo Ulquiorra. "

" Onna, it is well into the night. It is time for you to bathe and since you have already slept, perhaps a visit to Aizen-Sama." Her eyes widened and she blushed at the thought of what that could bring. The heat in her cheeks brought immediate sadness.

Ulquiorra ignored the blush and opened the door to the bathroom. She followed him in and stepped longingly closer to the hot water. She made sure Ulquiorra had his back turned before she undressed. Even so, once she was submerged he could easily see that the bruises inflicted had already faded mostly away. Her skin was almost back to its...peachy perfection. He stifled a laugh at that. It was quite true. He had never seen an arrancar carry such a skin tone. It was absolutely fabulous.

She ducked under the water and her hair billow out.

She would need a haircut soon. Her hair was already past her hips. It was nearing the tops of her thighs.

He pushed away his thoughts and concentrated. Throughout the whole bath she didn't say a word. He figured it would be a good time to bring in a friend of hers....

" Gin, you seem to be...smiling less these days."

Aizen turned toward Gin who had a wide grin and slanted eyes.

" How do you mean?" He asked. A grin upon his ever grinning face.

" You seem displeased Gin. Perhaps you need a little female attention...ne?"

" I think I'll pass." He added calmly. Aizen smiled and continued his deadpan stare out at the baron planes of Hueco Mundo.

Loli and Menoli were dressing in the next room. Exhausted from the nights exertions.

It had been this way for three days. They left his quarters without passing him nor Gin a glance.

Gin observed their departure and surmised that Aizen had blindfolded them and made them silent...intent on reliving his experience with Orihime.

This wouldn't do. Orihimes power would dwindle if Aizen kept this up...and the Shinigami were preparing for battle. And here there leader was...frolicking over a teenager.

He would let them all down. The bastard didn't know what he was doing.

" Aizen...don't ya think it's time to get our plans back in position?" Aizen turned towards him again.

" Yes, that is my plan Gin. Things will proceed as instructed. I just have one more net to weave...that's all."

Ulquiorra watched as Orihime began eating. Her outfit still the twin of Aizens.

There was a resounding knock before Gin threw the door open.

" Hiya Hime Chan!"

She smiled a little before standing.

" Ohayo Ichimaru-Sama."

Gin watched her hair fall to her hips and smiled.

" Ya need a haircut?"

She blushed and eyed the tattered ends of her orange hair.

" Yes, I suppose I do."

Before anything was said, Gin drew his sword and made two quick swipes of his sword. Orihime froze for a moment before looking at her hair; exactly two inches shorter than before.

" That was amazing!" She cheered. Gin sheathed his sword and smiled.

" I've done it many times before." Orihime looked at him sadly.

" Rangiku-san." She whispered.

" Rangiku." He repeated. Ulquiorra intercepted with side glance at Gin.

" Do you have business here Gin?"

Gin grinned at him.

" Just saying hit to Orihime. Was ya two having a moment?" Ulquiorra stared at Gin, not fully understanding what he meant...and not really wanting to.

" Actually Ulquiorra...I was hoping to take Orihime out to the training fields."

Orihime looked up at the two only to catch of Ulquiorras coat as he closed the door. She looked over the Gin who was smiling at her.

" Are ya ready?" He asked.

" What do you mean?"

" Soul Society is going to attack in two months."

" What do you expect me to do?" She asked, slightly bemused.

" Aizen-sama expects you at the forefront of the battle field...Inoue Orihime."

End of Chapter Three.
