Hello my lovely readers, so this is the final chapter.. I worked hard on it so I hope you guys like it. Umm.. no one knows the release form of Ulquiorra's zanpakuto yet.. so this is totally made up by me..

Enjoy……………..

Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure was so powerful, it was even painful to feel. Everyone including the captains was on their knees, except Aizen. He was standing up high but was a little surprised with Ulquiorra's sudden strength. He no longer had the strength of an Espada ranking fourth but the strength of the first Espada; making him the new Espada numero 1. But his strength went beyond of an Espada ranking 1st, his spiritual pressure alone made the arrancars confused, why was he so powerful? They thought. Aizen was standing next to Gin and Tosen and he looked at Ulquiorra with a smirk; even though he was taken back a bit for his sudden change of strength, he did not take Ulquiorra serious, not even for a second.

" I will die by your hands you say? Don't be a fool Ulquiorra, you won't- no you CAN'T defeat me." Said Aizen.

Ulquiorra was holding on to his zanpakuto and he closed his eyes.

"Surikesu, Ojos de la mente." Said Ulquiorra. ( "Surikesu" is the release command, which means 'erase' in Japanese. And "Ojos de la mente" is the name of his zanpakuto, which means 'eyes of the mind' in Spanish.)

When Ulquiorra opened his eyes, he was already transformed to his released state. He didn't change much but his broken hollow mask that looked like a helmet was no longer broken, but complete with a pointy horn on each side. He was a bit taller and was bearing his chest. His chest and shoulders were a bit wider than they were before but he was still skinny and pale. His hollow hole was still positioned in the middle of his chest; he looked like a Vasto Lorde.

" This will be quick, I promise you." Said Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra was looking straight at a smiling Aizen that was standing next to Gin and Tosen. Ulquiorra then felt a strong spiritual pressure behind him, he moved his head slightly and from the corner of his eye he saw Aizen standing behind him with a grin.

" What the hell! Buut how? Aizen is standing next to Gin and Tosen! How did he-" said Ishida.

" Oh no..it's like that day at the soul society, he's using-" said Rukia.

The Aizen that was standing by Gin and Tosen melted away and all was left was Gin with a big smile and Tosen's seriousness.

"Fool." Said Aizen.

Aizen had black and purple electricity forming a circle around his hand.

" K-Kurohitsugi!" said Rukia.

All of the sudden Aizen's eyes widen when he did not see Ulquiorra in front of him. Ulquiorra was doing sonido and was behind Aizen, then next to him, then in front of him, then to his side, he was doing circles around Aizen. Ulquiorra was so fast, no one could see him do sonido, to everybody's eyes it seemed like Ulquiorra disappeared in thin air. Everyone's eyes widen when they suddenly saw Ulquiorra appear in front of Aizen, stabbing him on his stomach. The black and purple electricity that was forming on Aizen's hand disappeared. Aizen looked at Ulquiorra and he smiled.

" That's all you got?" asked Aizen.

" You were lucky to pierce your zanpakuto into my body, but it had no effect on me." Said Aizen.

Ulquiorra was looking down at his zanpakuto that was piercing Aizen's stomach but then looked up at Aizen.

" No, you will feel the effect once my blade leaves your body." Said Ulquiorra.

Aizen had an expression on his face that said sure, whatever! But he then started to feel a little strange, like if something was absorbing something from inside him. It wasn't absorbing his powers but it was a strange feeling.

" It will only take but a few seconds to take away everything you knew." Said Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra quickly pulled away his zanpakuto from Aizen's stomach. Suddenly Aizen felt a rush inside his head, it was painful. He lifted his hands up to hold his head, he dropped to his knees and everyone was shocked.Aizen in pain?! Gin and Tosen were surprised; it couldn't be possible that with one stab Aizen was on his knees and in pain. They were about to help Aizen when in a flash Matsumoto was in front of Gin and Byakuya was in front of Tosen, both were holding their zanpakuto up to their necks.

" Do not interfere, Gin." said Matsumoto.

" It's been a long time." Said Gin with the biggest smile on his face.

Suddenly, Aizen could see all his memories flash through his head. Ulquiorra looked down at Aizen with the coldest stare.

" Your memory is being erased. You will no longer know who you are, who your allies are, why you are here. Your mind will be in blank."

" Impossible!" said Aizen as he held his head with his hands; he was indeed in pain.

" With my zanpakuto, it only takes one time to be inside someone's body to take hold of their memories, more like their life."

" I can see your memories flashing through my eyes." Said Ulquiorra.

All of Aizen's memories were disappearing from his mind but he was trying so hard to keep them. The last memory he had left was of a woman smiling at him. Ulquiorra looked at Aizen with a puzzled look on his face.

" You hold onto this memory..why? Did you actually develop some sort of feelings for her?" asked Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra could see Aizen's last memory and it was an image of Orihime smiling at him as they drank tea together. Aizen had secretly developed feelings for the beautiful red headed girl.

" Yet, it wasn't enough to spare her life?" asked Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra took the last memory of Aizen and Aizen was on his knees, looking at Ulquiorra with a blank face. Aizen had no memory of anything; it was as if he was reborn again. Aizen looked around the room and was feeling out of place. He did not know the people around him, he had no idea where he was and he couldn't even speak. More like he did not know how to speak. Gin and Tosen yelled out his name but Aizen did not turn around. Ulquiorra went closer to the confused Aizen and looked at him with the coldest stare.

" You may not remember a thing about your life but I will tell you something about you." Said Ulquiorra.

Aizen looked at Ulquiorra confused.

" You may not understand a word I'm saying, but you killed someone that was dear to me. And for that reason a lone your life will not be spared. This is all-"

Ulquiorra pierced Aizen's heart with his zanpakuto and Aizen's eyes widen. Aizen could see all the images of Orihime flashing through his head, she was laughing, eating, sleeping, drawing, writing, playing and finally smiling.

" ...for her." Said Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra had put all the memories he had of Orihime into Aizen's mind, so he could see why he was killing him. Ulquiorra removed his sword out of Aizen's body and before walking away he took the pearl shaped stone out of Aizen's pocket. Aizen was still on his knees but then suddenly a lot of blood squirted out of his body and he fell onto the floor face down. Everyone's eyes widen when they couldn't feel Aizen's reiatsu, he was finally dead. Ulquiorra transformed back to his normal self and he walked towards Orihime's body. He looked around, hoping to see her soul but it wasn't there. Rukia was holding onto Orihime's body and she watched as Ulquiorra approached her. He looked at Rukia and handed her the stone, he told her that Orihime died trying to destroy the stone and there was no need for him to keep it. Everyone was surprised with what he said and did. He kneeled down and gently grabbed Orihime's body to carry her in his arms. He started to walk towards the broken down door but then stopped and he turn his head slightly, looking at them from the corner of his eye.

" Your mission failed. There's no need for you all to be here. Leave now, Shinigamis."

" What the fuck Ulquiorra!! How are we gonna just let them-"

Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure intensified and that shut Grimmjow up. Ulquiorra continued walking away, holding Orihime's body in his arms.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

" What is your report on the mission?" asked Yamamoto.

All the captains and lieutenants were in the room, including Ichigo and the gang.

" Aizen is dead, sir." Said Hitsugaya.

For those that didn't go to Hueco Mundo, their eyes widen.

" Dead?! Who killed him?!" asked Yamamoto

" It was Ulquiorra Schiffer, the fourth espada."

" Espada?!"

" Yes, we also have the hougyoku stone."

" That's good news."

" We also have Gin and Tosen captive, they are each in their own cell."

" What happened with the girl Inoue Orihime? Was she a traitor?"

" No! She never betrayed us! She was the one that risked her life to save us all by destroying the stone!" yelled Ichigo.

" Where is she now?"

Everyone's eyes grew sad.

" She was killed by Aizen." Said Ichigo with the saddest tone in his voice.

Ukitake eyes widen, he felt horrible that Orihime died, he grew very fond of her since he helped her and Rukia train.

" We couldn't save her..we just.." said Ichigo.

" We need to find her soul, if her soul wasn't at Hueco Mundo it means that her soul is here in the Soul Society." Said Ukitake.

" There's so many souls here, how are we going to find her, its like trying to find a needle in a hay stack." Said Soifon.

" I will find her, even if takes me days, months, years… I promise I'll find her!" Said Ichigo.

Ichigo?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Three months had passed and there was no sign of Orihime's soul. She has been here before, why doesn't she go to the front gate to meet with her friends, thought Ichigo. Ichigo was walking down the dusty streets and saw someone with long reddish hair helping a little girl get up from the floor. His eyes widen and his heart was beating faster. He was walking towards the girl and he finally opened his mouth to speak. He would of just grabbed her but he had done it a few times before that none of those he grabbed were Orihime, instead they were some angry woman that ended up hitting him for grabbing them.

" O-Orihime?"

The girl did not turn around; she was still trying to help the little girl that fell down.

Please let it be her!

" Orihime!" said Ichigo louder.

The girl with the long reddish hair turned around and Ichigo's eyes widen.

It's her! It's Orihime!

It was Orihime but she looked a little weak and very skinny.

" Orihime! It's me Ichigo! Are you ok?!"

Orihime looked at him and she smiled.

" I'm sorry, Do I know you?" asked Orihime.

Ichigo stomach dropped. The girl in front of him was Orihime, she looked like her, she talked like her, and she even smiled like her, how could she not know who he was?

Flashback

" Be aware that Orihime may not even remember who you are, or who she is. A lot of us Shinigami's do not remember anything about our past, or who we were before we died. Honestly, it's rare to find a soul that remembers the way they died or the person they were before they died. Don't be surprised if Orihime doesn't remember you at all." Said Ukitake.

She doesn't remember, she doesn't even know who I am.

" I think you have me confused for someone named Orihime." Said Orihime with a smile.

" Oh, I'm sorry. What's your name?" asked Ichigo.

" Uhh"

Orihime put her hand behind her head and was smiling.

" Now that you ask me…Uh.. I don't know." Said Orihime laughing.

A sweat drop formed behind Ichigo's head.

This is Orihime..

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It was sunny, the sky was filled with clouds, and flowers were blooming, it was spring in Karakura town. All the children were playing in the swings and the slides at the park, having a wonderful time. There was a couple walking down the sidewalk holding hands and eating ice cream. It was a beautiful day for everyone to go out and enjoy. From the distance there was a black opening in the sky, someone was coming out of it. It was Ulquiorra and he was using garganta but no one even noticed him, they kept doing what they were doing. Ulquiorra was walking in the park, looking around as if he was looking for someone. He looked everywhere for the woman, and he finally went back to the park and the sun was about to set. There was still a few children playing in the swings and Ulquiorra let out a loud sigh. When he was about to return to Hueco Mundo he saw someone at the distance. He stopped and his eyes widen. From the distance he could see a young woman with long reddish hair. She was wearing a Shinigami's outfit and was carrying a zanpakuto. She was smiling while watching the children play.

It's her…

He couldn't stop staring at her, watching her giggle, the wind blowing on her hair; she looked beautiful. Everything was bit nostalgic; he was at the same park where he first met her. He wanted to talk to her but didn't know how to approach her. Especially since he knew that she wouldn't even know who he was. He started to think that it was a wrong idea to have come to the human world to find and talk to Orihime. He started to think that he should just let her be, but he missed her. The time that they spent apart was very hard for him. He thought that since he had lived without her before he can go back to his normal like as an Espada but as the days passed on without her presence he began to miss her and felt a pain that seemed to never go away. Ulquiorra was in the shadows and staring at the beautiful Shinigami, he just wanted to admire her from a far. He finally had her in front of him and he couldn't even go up to her, he felt foolish. The sun was finally setting and the happy children were tired and heading off to their parents to finally go home. Orihime was still by the park and she was looking at the sunset. Orihime heard a beeping sound on her cell phone. A hollow? When she looked at her phone, she saw that the hollow was very close by. She looked up at where the hollow may be at but she didn't see anything. That's strange. She then saw someone walking out of the dark shadows. She thought he looked a bit strange, he looked human but then again he didn't. She took out her zanpakuto and looked at him seriously.

" Who are you?!" said Orihime.

" My name is Ulquiorra."

" What is your business here?"

Ulquiorra kind of hoped that she would at least remember him, but it was obvious that she had new clue who he was. He remembered what Ichigo told him a couple of days ago when he went to Hueco Mundo. Ulquiorra was surprised to see Ichigo in Hueco Mundo, again. Ichigo just wanted to tell him that they had found Orihime's soul a few months ago and that she had become Shinigami. Orihime was now in the 13th division along side Ukitake and Rukia. He told him that they were happy that they finally found her but that Orihime doesn't remember anything of her past. They tried telling her about her past but she can't seem to remember a thing. She was still the same old Orihime but without her memories.

" I came here..to talk to you." Said Ulquiorra.

" With me? Why?"

" It's been six months since the last time we've seen each other."

" Six months? I'm sorry... I don't remember you."

" I knew you..when you were alive."

Orihime's eyes widen.

" You knew me.. when I was alive?!"

" Yes."

Orihime was still holding on to her zanpakuto, she couldn't let her guard down not even for a second. Even though the man standing in front of her told her he knew her, she couldn't trust him.

" Were we friends?"

" No."

"………………….."Oh no! Were we enemies? And now he wants revenge?!

" We were more than that."

" What do you mean?"

" We were…"

It was so hard for Ulquiorra to say what he had to say. He never considered him and Orihime to be boyfriend and girlfriend. They had fallen in love with each other but it was so weird and hard to actually talk about it.

" …together."

Orihime felt confused, she was actually with that guy when she was alive? She would have never thought she would be interested in him, not that he wasn't handsome or anything… they were just so different.

" Together?"

" Like..a umm…"

Orihime began to blush.

" ..relationship?"

Ulquiorra knew the whole situation was going to be awkward; he had to say things he really did not want to say.

" Yes."

" How do I know you're not lying?!"

" I will show you that I'm not lying." Said Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra raised his hand up to his face and removed his left eye, Orihime's eyes widen. He then crushed his eye, turning it to dust. The dust started to flow into the air in front of Orihime and she saw images of herself. She was amazed and confused, it was surely she but why couldn't she remember. She saw images of her laughing, eating cucumbers, writing something on a desk, staring out a window, eating a donut, wearing a school uniform in a park and then an image that took her off guard. She was naked. Her eyes widen and she turned to look at Ulquiorra and her face was red.

" W-Why am I.. was I …were we..oh my god!"

She kept looking at the images and she was always hugging someone that seemed to look a lot like Ulquiorra. She couldn't see his face but his arms and body looked like his. She then saw an image of her getting married, but with another man.

Omg..i did it with that guy Ulquiorra and now I'm marrying another man?! Was I ..a whore?!

Orihime put her head down and she felt bad.

" I'm sorry, I just can't seem to remember."

Ulquiorra was hoping that by showing her his memories of her that she would at least remember something, but she didn't. He started to walk towards her. Orihime lifted her head up and saw that he was approaching her but then she raised her zanpakuto and told him not to get any closer.

She doesn't even trust me.

" I have something that belongs to you." Said Ulquiorra.

" What?"

Ulquiorra took out a small white notebook out of his pocket and set it down on the ground.

" This was your journal. You loved to write and you wrote everything about yourself here."

Orihime looked down at the white notebook. My journal?

Ulquiorra turned around, did a small hand movement and he had opened garganta. He turned his head slightly, looking at her by the corner of his eye.

" If you remember anything after reading that notebook, meet me here tomorrow at midnight. I will wait for you here."

Ulquiorra entered the black space that was formed and then it closed, he was no longer at the park. Orihime walked towards the white notebook and grabbed it. She opened the notebook and began to read it.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It was midnight and Ulquiorra was waiting for Orihime. He was hoping that she remembered something, anything. It was 1 am and she didn't show up. It was 4 am and she still didn't show up. The sun was rising and she never showed up, he had waited for her that long. He turned around, opened garganta and left to Hueco Mundo, never to return again.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It had been two weeks since the night he talked to Orihime. Ulquiorra was walking down the halls of Las Noches and was about to pass by Orihime's room. He turned to look at the room and for a second he imagined Orihime running towards him and jumping on him to give him a kiss. He had to forget her, even though it was very hard for him. She was finally back, but yet she wasn't and he couldn't do anything about it. Now that Aizen was dead, everyone listened to what Ulquiorra had to say. He was the strongest of all the arrancars and obviously he was even stronger than Aizen. No one wanted to defy him, because they all knew that he would easily kill them. Ulquiorra was now the one in charge. Ulquiorra kept walking down the hall but then suddenly stopped. He turned around and his eyes widen.

" Orihime?"

Orihime was standing before him, wearing her shinigami outfit.

" H-Hello..Ulquiorra-san."

Ulquiorra couldn't say anything; he was so surprised to see her in front of him.

" I-I remember."

Ulquiorra felt so much joy inside him but he didn't show it, he looked at her with his serious expression.

" Everything?" asked Ulquiorra.

" Yes."

There was a long silence between them, he wanted to just grab her and kiss her but for some reason he couldn't.

" I'm sorry I didn't show up that night." Said Orihime.

"It's fine."

" I actually remembered everything soon after I read my journal."

" What?"

Ulquiorra felt a little angry, he waited for her for so long and he thought that she didn't remember a thing but she did and she didn't show up? Why?!

" I couldn't show up till now."

Orihime put her hand in front of her face, and when she removed it she had a hollow mask on. Her eyes were completely black and her eye color was now golden. Ulquiorra's eyes widen. A hollow mask?!

" The reason why I didn't meet up with you that night was because I went to see Hachi and asked him if he could help me become a vizard . It took me weeks to become this, it was painful but worth it. It's funny.. how we always said we were so different but now we are more alike than ever. You're a hollow that gained shinigami powers and I'm a shinigami that gained hollow powers..pretty funny."

" Why?!"

" So I can be stronger, so I won't ever be the reason why you're hurting."

Orihime put her hand on her face again and the hollow mask was removed. She wasn't like Ichigo that only had a few seconds to use the hollow mask, she actually manage to use it whenever she wanted to, she was that strong.

" You didn't have to-"

" I wanted to…I thought this was a way for me to become stronger, stronger for you. I want to always be there for you, Ulquiorra-san."

Ulquiorra looked at Orihime and he was amazed with her, she was still the sweet, caring Orihime but yet she was different, she was stronger.

" Thank you." Said Ulquiorra.

Orihime smiled.

" I thought you said you'd never keep memories...that by keeping them it'll only make you weak." Said Orihime with a smile.

He knew she was talking about the images he showed her that one night.

" I told you, I only keep the ones that make me stronger."

" I recorded every moment I had with you, Orihime. You were the one person I did not want to forget. The memories I had of you were what made me stronger… You were always on my mind Orihime, always."

Orihime's eyes began to water. She ran towards Ulquiorra and jumped to wrap her arms around his neck and she kissed him. Ulquiorra would never admit it to Orihime but he missed her daily greeting, it was something he always looked forward to. They were kissing each other for a long time, Oh how they missed each other's kisses. They were finally together and there was no one to stop their love. Ulquiorra felt something that he thought he would never feel again, happiness. He was hugging Orihime when she looked up to see his sad, green eyes.

" Do you think..we'll always be together?" asked Orihime.

Ulquiorra looked down at Orihime and hugged her tighter.

" Always."
