The Search for a Heart

by InfiniteBurn

I never thought this would happen to me. I now have a Keyblade, which I use to defend worlds I am only beginning to understand. My name is Ulquiorra Schiffer, and I am beginning to understand what it means to have a heart.

9. In Memory

Ulquiorra, Orihime, Ichigo, Grimmjow, Starrk, and Lillynette are all standing at the edge of the Golden Gate Bridge. Another man is with them. He is wearing a grey jacket with the word "Tapout" written in black across the chest and jeans. In his hands is a bouquet of flowers.

Orihime is close to tears, as is the man in the jacket. Lillynette is already crying, holding onto Starrk as he hugs her back with a pained look on his face. Holding out his hand, the man in the jacket lets the bouquet fall into the water. "Let's go, guys," he says.

"Right behind you, InfiniteBurn," Ichigo says, slipping his hand into Orihime's. They all leave.
