Jinta and Ururu walked in with some rice, ebi fry and rare cheese cake.
"Hey moocher don't touch the desert until after dinner," said Jinta.
"I'm not a moocher," said Renji.
"Oh hush now no need to fight," said Kiskue.
"Then why have us train," muttered Renji.
Orihime watched as Rukia elbowed Renji and him complain. Ulquiorra continued to hold Orihime's hand and he would occasionally run his thumb over her finger.
"So I finished that gigai," said Kiskue," do you like it?"
"It seems adequate," said Ulquiorra," I just hope this time there are no defects."
"Oh I highly doubt that," kiskue said
Orihime ate some of her food before placing it down. Though her stomach told her she was hungry she was not herself. The thought of eating anymore made her nauseas.
"Do you want my food?" Orihime asked Ulquiorra.
"No thank you," said Ulquiorra," you should eat."
"I'm not that hungry," she said.
"But was your stomach not growling before we came up here?" he asked.
Orihime flushed a slight pink.
"Y..Yes," said Orihime," but I'm not hungry anymore."
"Just give it to the moocher," said Jinta.
"I'm not a moocher," said Renji once again.
"Oh yes you are you just have to stop denying it."
Renji snorted and ignored Jinta. Orihime just looked at her food but was still dissatisfied with the food that still remained. Orihime wasn't one to waste food. Orihime took a small nibble of rice from her chopsticks and ate it.
"I...I'm not feeling very well," whispered Orihime.
She hoped that no one heard but Ulquiorra was right beside her. Ulquiorra placed a hand on Orihime's cheek.
"Are humans face suppose to be so warm?" asked Ulquiorra," because as I recall from the last time I touched your cheek they were not this warm."
"I'm not warm," Orihime said confused.
Orihime rubbed one of her cheeks and felt the nausea return once more. Her head spinning with the combination of how her stomach felt made her want to puke.
"Orihime your face is flushed," said Ichigo.
"Yes but so is yours," said Orihime.
"But mine is from training," he said.
"Kiskue do you have a health book?" asked Ulquiorra.
"I believe I do just let me go in the storage room," said Kiskue," I'll look up her symptoms."
"You're not going to die are you?" Ulquiorra asked.
"Don't go thinking of the worst," said Ishida," mine and Ichigo's dad are doctors. Ichigo have you seen this before?"
"Um.." ssaid Ichigo," I..Uh I forget."
"Typical," said Ishida.
Kiskue entered with a book and looked at Orihime.
"Well it seems you have a virus," siad Kiskue," nothing deadly. Just a flu. Probably not swine flu.
"But I felt fine before," said Orihime.
"Maybe it took time to take effect," said Ichigo," do you flowers help this kind of stuff?"
"I don't know," said Orihime," it returns things to it's original state but I don't think this flu is altering me. I guess I got to go home and all. I don't want to but I don't want you getting sick."
"I'll go with you," said Ulquiorra.
"I don't want to get you sick though," she said.
"I doubt so," he said," plus how bad could it be."
Orihime looked up at Ulquiorra with her grey eyes and they softened and admitted defeat with a single glance.
"Okay," said Orihime.
Ulquiorra stood up and picked up Orihime wrapping his arm around her waist walking with her.
"Thank you for the meal," said Ulquiorra.
"yes thank you," said Orihime," I'm sorry I couldn't enjoy it."
"It's all right Orihime," said Kiskue," just get better soon. You're going to be missing out on training."
The two left the shop and Orihime leaned on Ulquiorra as they walked. Orihime's body was exhausted from the training. She had to move quickly to evade blades, Tatsuki's punches and kicks, kidou, cero, tenshou getsuga, the deadly arrows Ishida shot and the blows Chad delivered. Using some of her spiritual pressure wasn't a hassle just being able to manage to do unscratched was hard. Orihime was envious of how Ishida and Chad were better at fighting than her. Ishida had quincy powers giving him reitsu filled arrows and Chad had hollow like powers with defense and offense and both were powerful. All Orihime seemed to have was lowly Squad 4 powers. Sometimes Orihime wished she had a zankpautou like the other soul reapers and Ichigo. One day though. One day she would become a full Shinigami and be able to do things like kidou, use shikai and maybe one day bankai.
"Are we almost there?" Orihime asked in a sleep toned voice.
"Almost," said Ulquiorra," a few more blocks."
Sighing Orihime continued walking until Ulquiorra stopped and she heard her door open.
"Go change," said Ulquiorra," then I'll come in once you're done."
"Okay," Orihime said.
Orihime walked slowly to her bedroom and went to her dresser where she pulled out a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. Removing her previous cloths she placed on her new ones and put the old ones in the laundry hamper.
"You can come in now," Orihime called.
The door slowly opened and Ulquiorra stood at the doorway as if he were a stranger. Orihime pulled him into her room and he guided her to her bedroom where he placed her under some covers and tucked her in bed.
"I'll be right back," Ulquiorra whispered," I'll get you a cloth with cold water for your fever and a bucket encase your feeling ill enough to the point were you puke."
Orihime hoped it wouldn't come to that. She didn't have the desire to puke and have Ulquiorra witness something so repulsive and detestable. Orihime listened to the faint footsteps and then after a few minutes the sound of running water from her bathroom. Orihime then hears Ulquiorra as he rummages through her cabinets for a bowl. Soon enough Ulquiorra returns and gently places the cloth over her head.
"Is it okay if I join you?" Ulquiorra asked.
Orihime nodded her head and noticed she had her eyes closed since she opened them to see Ulquiorra fully clothed. Ulquiorra moved the blanket up and got in then pulled Orihime into his arms.
"Get better soon my love," said Ulquiorra," and have sweet dreams."
Awww Ulquiorra is so sweet. He I put in swine flu lol not many people care bout that stuff no more but i dont really care. Got bored, wrote a short chapter oh well. Enjoy.
