A/N: If you want something to listen to while you read, I suggest Breathe Into Me by RED.
And this is how it feels when I, ignore the words you spoke to me.
And this is where I lose myself, when I keep running away from you.
And this is who I am when, when I don't know myself anymore.
And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me.
Breathe your life into me! I can feel you.
I'm falling, falling faster!
Breathe your life into me! I still need you.
I'm falling, falling! Breathe into me!
Finders Keepers, Chapter Three: An Orange Dilemna.
"Welcome, New Comrade." A sickening smile in the dark. Whispers echoing of white washed walls.
"Tell me, what is your name?" Sterile white clothing. Glinting brown eyes. A sudden knowledge thrust upon a mind devoid of emotion. The lack of a heart.
"Ulquiorra Schiffer."
Its black again. I'm floating.
"Soten Kisshun! I reject!" A flash of long, orange hair. Defiant grey eyes. She stands.
Nothingness yet again.
"Tell me, would I see it if I tore open your chest? Would I see it if I cracked open your skull?" Confusion. It's clouding my judgement. I'm unable to stop.
The sting of her slap lingers on my cheek. I long for her touch.
I'm falling.
"Are you afraid?"
A white hand stained with blood.
"Flight 078 now boarding. Calling all passengers."
Startled green eyes snapped open at the robotic voice. Sitting up too quickly and sliding of the chair, Ulquiorra's hand flew towards his heart as he gasped for air. Orihime looked round in worry.
"Ulquiorra? Ulquiorra! Are you okay? Is it the asthma? " She cried, crouching down in front of him.
He looked up at her, trying to calm her down. "I..am...I am fine..." He whispered hoarsly. "It...was... just...a bad dream.."
"Are you sure?" He nodded his head. She placed a hand on his forehead and wiped his damp hair from his eyes. He just seemed so...fragile.
"It's because you don't eat enough!" She huffed. "Under that muscle your so skinny!" He quirked an eyebrow.
"Is that...so? Maybe I would eat more if...if you refrained from trying to poison me." He muttered, standing up and brushing himself off. He noticed the odd looks some of the passengers were sending him.
"I do not!" She yelled. Placing her hands on her hips, Orihime stood up. "I'd like to see you cook some-" Ulquiorra smirked and slid his hands round her. He captured her mouth mid-speech and used this to his advantage as he slipped his toungue past her sweet lips. She gasped and stiffened slightly, but after a second, returned the gesture with a heated passion. They stood like that for a few minutes, mouths battling for dominance, until Orihime pulled away. She panted a little and turned her face away, trying to hide the blush dusting it.
"Your so embarrasing..." She muttered. A ghost of a smile graced his lips.
"If you don't hurry up, we'll miss the flight."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
"Ulquiorra, why are we in first class?"
"Because I paid for first class, Onna."
"Well why did you do that?"
"Because I do not wish to be seated in the midst of trash."
"Ulquiorraaaa ! Thats mean!"
"No it isn't, Onna."
"Yes it is, MAN!"
"Do not call me that."
"Don't call me Onna then!"
"But that is what you are."
"And your a man. Well thats if last night was anything to go by..."
Ulquiorra glared at her.
"Do not bring such things up in public, Onna."
"You started it, man!"
"I did no such thing."
"You bought us first class tickets!"
"Your ungratefullness caused this."
"That isn't even a word!"
"...yes, it is."
"No it isn't!"
"..."
"Ichigo. I'm bored." Rukia stated.
"What do you want me to do about it?"
"Find me something to do."
Ichigo sighed for the thousandth time that day. The girl had been complaining all the way there, all through the airport waiting time, and now during the flight to! If she didn't shut up soon, he was going to go bankai on her. Rukia prodded him in the cheek.
"What?"
She pulled a sad face. "Im bored Ichigo! Can't you do something?"
"No, Rukia, I can't."
She let out an exhasperated breath. Ichigo was such a pain.
Ulquiorra had dozed of about an hour ago, and they were now half way throught their flight time. She had long since run out of snacks. So, Orihime being the idea master that she was, the redhead had taken to finding the most unusual hair colour aboard the plane possible. That being said, there wasn't much variation. All different shades of browns and blondes littered the space, but so far, her own colouring took the cake. Just as she was about to give up, a little head of pale green made itself known. It was about three rows infront of Orihime's seat, with the chair tilted away from her. As far as she could tell, the hair was styled in a childish bob, and this was further confirmed when the voice belonging to the head spoke.
"Starkk! I'm bored! Wake, Wake, Wakey up!"
Starkk? What a strange name...
"What is it Lillynette?" A lazy voice groaned. She knew that voice...
"It seems I'm going to have to borrow her for a while" Orihime clasped her hands over her mouth. It couldn't be!
"Ulquiorra!" She hissed. He murmed something inchorant and nestled his cheek against her shoulder.
"Ulquiorra!"
"What is it, Onna?" He muttered, his eyes still closed.
"Ulquiorra, is it...is it possible that you weren't the only Espada ressurected as a human? I mean... could others have to?" One eye cracked open to look at her in thought. It snapped shut.
"I suppose so," He stated. "If they had been somewhat compliant towards the terms of living again. It was required that you were to live among the humans as one of their own, but you had to give up your powers in order to do so. I highly doubt some would've done this. Why do you ask?" She took a deep breath.
"Because I think Coyote Starkk is sitting infront of us."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"Okay, Ulquiorra," She whispered."Keep quiet until I tell you, okay? We'll sneak up from behind, then take a peek! If it is him, then hide and we can discuss phase two!"
He sighed. What had she got him into ?
"Operation Espada Peek is GO!" She yelled, causing a few passengers to look round. The redhead blushed and lowered her voice.
"C'mon, lets just go..." Her face was a red that would make even Renji envious as she dragged him through the isle. She kept her head low and curved her back, like it would somehow lessen her chances of being seen, and ducked down behind their targets chairs. Yanking him down, she began to whisper furiously into his ear.
"Right, I'll look over the chairs in a second, and as soon as I do, roll this orange underneath them, so they'll be distracted!"
"Onna, I highly doubt they will be distracted-"
"Yes, they will, Ulquiorra."
"No they-"
"Yes Ulquiorra,"She ground out."They will." He backed down quickly. Of course they would.
Her face lit up. "Okay, now thats settled, on the count of three...ONE! TWO! THREE!" She jumped up and quickly peered over the back of the seats, while Ulquiorra rolled the orange under the chairs. He rolled his eyes. There was no way this was going to work...
"Oh my GAWD! Starkk, an ORANGE!"

Seproth: She'd be about 15/16 weeks pregnant by now! Its early enough so that they can find out the gender, yet because she was quite slim, she wont start showing properly until she's in her 20th week :) Obviously he was VERY gentle...*coughLIARcough* :)
Seisakusha-sama: I'm really liking that idea, and maybe it'll be happy and not-so happy? I love stirring things up! I'll organise a doctors appointment for them soon!PROMISE:)!
