Chapter Seven: Humor

I turned towards Ulquiorra.

"I just don't get it. Why would you even care?" I asked. The second I asked I knew that I'd gotten him. He didn't know why he cared, but he couldn't leave me without an answer.

"I don't, but it is custom to ask." He answered after some doubt flickered through his eyes.

'Uh-huh, sure you do you liar.' I thought. "Oh, I was just wondering that's all." I said, smiling slightly. Although I would have loved to just laugh at him, and make him tell the truth. I wasn't that mean.

Then I looked at the floor in shock. Had I really just thought that? Had I really just wished to smile?

Something in me suddenly just clicked into place..like the last piece of a puzzle. This emerald-eyed boy made me want to smile. Do you know what he made me decide that day? Out of all of the physchiatrists, the therapy, listening to people in straight-jackets talk to me. It just finally clicked. I had an epiphany. If it could happen a little light-bulb would have flickered above my head. I wanted to have emotions. I wanted to smile, and laugh, and make friends. I wanted to open myself up a little. To dig out the key and open my tightly locked emotions, let it show some. Maybe even let someone in a little bit. Even if it was just a little little bit.

I looked up at this boy, and said.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." Such simple words, but they held emotion that I always denied myself. I looked up at him and smiled at true smile for the first time in five years.

He looked at me like I'd grown two heads.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"No." I said. "I realized what is wrong with me." Then I turned and started walking away. My eyes closed, he pulled my arm. Then dragged me back, leaning over to look me straight in the eye.

"And what exactly is that?" He asked, looking at me curiously. I almost smiled at his puppy-dog face, it was barely emotional...but it was so CUTE!!!! I turned away, and let my fan-girl side come out. Silent screaming, then I turned back to answer him. But...he was in front of my face. When did he move, when did he do that? One second he was behind me, then he just appeared in front of me. What in the world...

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

I froze in shock, then leaned back muttering to myself none too politely.

"Well look at that, thinks he's all high and mighty and can ask what he wants now hmmmm.....?" I said nonchalantly, sarcastically. While he worked to hide his annoyance. "Then I leaned right near his face, what if I don't feel like telling you?" I said, smirking.

"I can go then." He dead-panned, turning to walk off.

"Hmph." I snorted. "Like I care you annoying cow." Internally screaming at him to not leave.

I could have sworn that he froze for a split second. Then he looked back at me. "That's 'Ulquiorra the annoying cow' to you, woman." I could almost hear the sneer, and shock.

A giggle burst from my mouth. Well who know, the guy had a sense of humor. A sort of sick one, but still...it was totally there. Or maybe I'm just over-thinking this little conversation. Either way though, I was glad that we had had this little chat. Or else wouldn't have realized that having emotions feels great, and that I had some smiling to do. Grinning to myself, I ran after Ulquiorra...who was consequently heading back to the classroom.

HAHAHA, I am PROUD of myself. Look at that, I actually finished it in like...a week. YAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAAY!!!! Anywho, Alice is sassy who knew! :P And Ulquiorra.... HASASENSEOFHUMOR D: *DOOOM*.

*Runs to emo corner crying.* "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BEAUTIFUL EMOTIONLESS BASTARD FREAK?!!!!!" WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH *crycrycry*

But will Alice be able to keep using emotions? Or will she chicken out? Wait for next time to know. :D
