Waking up to hear to annoying ring of his alarm clock Ulquiorra wished he could aces his cero only to use it to demolish and obliterate the device. Ulquiorra was dreaming so peacefully since he finally found someone to fill his emotionless body. It surprised him at first when he felt the first wave of emotions and he considered going to Syzeal but then reconsidered knowing he would most like mock him and probe him until he was back to feeling emotionless and living life in a monotone type of way. Rolling out of bed Ulquiorra sighed and went to his bathroom to see if his hollow hole was still intact or if it was hidden by his he knew the answer already he showed no facial expression that showed shocked when he looked in the mirror to see the hole there.

"Time to wear a scarf," Ulquiorra muttered to himself.

Orihime woke up the the hot bright sun shining throughout her window and the colors of the rainbow cascading along the floor. Stretching her arms out over her head she got up and stood up to walk to her closet.

"What to wear today?" Orihime asked herself.

Orihime moved along her closet before she found something she was looking for. A yellow sun dress that went down to her knees.

"Perfect," Orihime said and smiled.

Removing the dress fromthe hook she peeled off her pajamas and removed her bra and undies. She stood naked in her room and walked to her dresser and retrieved clean panties and a bra and placed them on and slide the dress on afterwards. Looking in the mirror Orihime twirled in a circle and giggled. Just then Orihime's phone began to ring and she ran to it.

"Hello?" Orihime asked.

"Hi Orihime," said Ichigo.

"Oh hi Kuroksaki-kun," she said," what's up?"

"Kiskue asked us to come down to the shop for a meeting," he said," training and all. Seems good knowing I don't have to fear holding back anymore."

Orihime laughed," time should we meet?"

"In an hour," he said," gives everyone enough time to eat breakfast, and enjoy a bit of their morning before we train."

"Okay," she said," see you then."

"Bye Orihime," he said.

"Bye," she said.

Orihime closed her phone and moved to her dresser and brushed her long orange hair then placed her hairpins never left the house without them. If so she made sure she was in close rang of others with spiritual pressure. Without Tsubaki, Shuno, Ayame, Hinaguki, Balgon and Lily. After looking at herself one more time Orihime ran downstairs and went through the cupboards and found cornpops. She grabbed a bowl and a spoon to and then went to the fridge taking the chocolate milk and poured it in her cereal. Orihime then put the milk back in the fridge and the cereal in the cupboard. Taking her bowl she moved to the kitchen table eating in silence. Days like these are days where she missed Sora. Though if Sora had lived would she have gained the power of her hairpins. In addition she wondered if any of her life would have become like this. Though it was full of voilence and gore it was also filled with happiness and joy. Looking out the window Orihime heard a bird singing a song. It made her want to spend the day with Ulquiorra but she knew training and becoming stronger was a necessity. She preferred not to battle knowing she was not a warrior hero like Ichigo but she knew she was able to help in her own way.

"I'll become stronger," Orihime whispered to herself," for everyone. I won't need to be protected. I can do this."

After finishing her cereal she walked to the dishwasher placing the dishes on the racks and closed it before she put on her shoes and left her house to walk to Kiskue's shop. Once outside she noticed the beautiful blue sky with a few white fluffy clouds and a faint cool breeze dance by her. A few cars walked by and she hummed to herself a song that she had heard many times but could not remember the lyrics. In no time she was in front of the shop and saw Jinta and Ururu. Jinta was younger but still chose to pick on Ururu.

"Jinta stop it," said Ururu in her quiet voice

"Be quiet and get to work," said Jinta.

"I am working," she said," you're the one goofing off."

"Shut up!" he said.

"Hello you two," said Orihime," is everyone here?"

"Nope," said Jinta," there's no one there yet but Kiskue-kun."

"Okay" said Orihime," well I'll be meeting up with him."

"Sure whatever," said Jinta.

Orihime walked passed the two siblings as they had a one sided quarrel. She entered the shop to see Kiskue sipping some tea.

"Oh your hear Orihime," said Kiskue," and you're early. Well the others will be here in a few minutes anyways so have a seat."

"Thank you Kiskue-kun," Orihime said.

Orihime sat down and noticed the three stuffed animals where in the gigai form as they walked in the room.

"Oh it's Orihime," said Kurodo," what brings you here on this lovely day?"

"Me and the others are training," Orihime said with a smile.

"As are we," he said.

"Yes," said Kiskue," it's going to be hard but a fun experience. None of you will fight the same person twice in a row though. Each will fight each other one on one. i hope you're ready Orihime."

"Yes I'm ready," Orihime said in a determined voice

"Good," he said.

The door opened to reveal Ishida, Chad, Jinta, Ururu, Grimmjow to Orihime's surprise,Tatsuki, and Renji, Rukia and Ichigo in soul reaper form.

"Is this everyone?" asked Kiskue.

"Yup," said Rukia.

"Why am I even hear?" Grimmjow asked rudely.

"To help train of course," said kiskue," you're strong and an espada so this will make everything will more interesting."

"Tch," said Grimmjoww," doesn't mean I can go all out."

"Only on the few who fought your comrades."

"Orihime count?" asked Ichigo," she tried to fight off Yammy."

"Yes," said Kiskue," but try not to damage each other too badly. We can't have Orihime using her spiritual pressure to heal most of you."

"I can fight," Orihime piped in.

"Yes I know," said kiskue.

"I'm not someone who will be like squad 4," she continued," I'll become strong like Rukia, Chad and Ishida you'll see."

"Why not as powerful as me or Ichigo," Grimmjow sneered.

Ichigo elbowed Grimmjow in the side having him mumble a "ow".

"Because I don't have a zanpakuto," she said," and I don't know the extents to Tsubaki's fighting ability."

"Squad four," Grimmjow said in a sing song voice.

"Shut up!" said Orihime.

There was a brief moment of silence.

"Squad four," Grimmjow said quickly.

Orihime got up with tears in her eyes. Everyone expected her to run away but were placed in shock when she slapped Grimmjow making him stumble back a few steps.

"I said shut up," she said as tears streaked down her face.

The door opened loudly with Ulquiorra standing there.

"Oh hello there," said Kiskue.

Ulquiorra ignored Kiskue and walked up to Orihime pulling her into his arms and placed a pale finger under her chin lifting her head up.

"What's wrong?" asked Ulquiorra.

"Grimmjow said I was only use for squad four in the thirteen court guard squad," said Orihime.

"Yeah and then she slapped me," said Grimmjow.

"Good," said Ulquiorra," Orihime is not weak. She can stand up for herself and though her healing powers are more enhanced than her fighting abilities it does not make her weak."

"Someone's crushing big time," said Grimmjow.

"Trash," said Ulquiorra," i'd say the same for you and your soul reaper."

"Can we just train?" asked Orihime.

There were no longer tears in her eyes but a look of determination. One that showed she would fight her best and would try to prove the others wrong about being weak. Orihime was barely any help in the soul society for fighting and in Las noches so she wanted to become tough. She vowed it.

"Then lets go," said kiskue.
