Several months had passed and now it was the middle of October. The green leaves that used to spread around the trees were a vibrant orange like the pumpkins, yellow as bright as the sun and red like fire truck. Orihime was in the middle of her final year of highschool and Ulquiorra had moved in with her near the end of August . He had little things so it was no trouble for Orihime. It was the afternoon of a beautiful sunny day. Orihime was returning from Tatsuki's home and was in an area that was isolated. Everyone wasn't around. Ishida had went on a family vacation for some odd reason, Chad was working along with Ulquiorra and Grimmjow and Ichigo went to Okasa. Orihime was interupted in her thinking when a cold child of autum air swirled around her body lifting the leaves off the ground and they began to do a dance. She heard the loud cry of a hollow. It appeared in front of her and stabbed an arm through her stomach.

"I am going to wait before I eat your tasty soul," said the hollow.

Orihime couldn't breath properly. Her breath in loud gasps and her wide eyes looked down at the hole in her stomach. The blood pouling beneath her body and her vision clouding in darkness. As she was dieing she felt regret in how she was leaving everyone how she had just got Ulquiorra back and now she was losing him to death. Salty tears formed in her eyes; however she was not afraid. Only sad since she and Ulquiorra fit together like lego pieces. The tears streamed down her face screaming regrets on what she could of done to protect herself. how she could have used her powers. Her world was engulfed in darkness and Orihime died.

~~~~~Soon after~~

Orihime's opened to see the blue skies and looking at her human body.

"Finally," said a voice.

Orihime turned to see a hollow...The hollow that killed her. Orihime began to sprint as fast as she could away from the hollow.

"Mmmm more fun for me," she heard the hollow say.

As Orihime ran under the path under trees she turned around to face the hollow.

"Koten zanshun!" Orihime yelled.

Nothing happened her hair pins did not even turn into Tsubaki.

"Koten zanshun!" Orihime cried.

Again nothing happened. Again and again and again Orihime cried out for Tsubaki to help her but there was no response. The hollow walked towards her smiling and the eyes...Those eyes, those red eyes stared at her with hunger. Those eyes spoke saying it was time to die again. The hollow pounced forward and she expected to be eaten but there was a sound of a sword clashing against the hollow arm. Orihime had her eyes closed so she had no idea what to expect but to see Ichigo. In the past Ichigo had been the one to save her but when she opened her eyes she saw black hair and emerald orbs looking at her.

"Oh Orihime," Ulquiorra.

Anger was swarming in his eyes and he turned to face the hollow. Ulquiorra dropped his sword and Orihime saw a green light. Ulquiorra's cero. She was blinded slightly by the light but knew that teh hollow had been vaporized and obliterated on sight. Ulquiorra turned and hugged Orihime.

"Oh God no," Ulquiorra whispered.

Orihime didn't know she was crying until Ulquiorra wiped the tears away from her eyes.

"I love you," Orihime said.

Orihime was hugged by Ulquiorra and the held each other until Ulquiorra made a gasping sound and Orihime felt a light nudge from her stomach. Ulquiorra's grip loosen and he looked paler than before. Orihime looked up to witness as a hollow threw him away and saw the tree snap in half from impact. Orihime screamed and turned to the hollow. For sure she would die but then she heard a new voice.

"Hado 33 sokatsui!" yelled a voice.

Orihime knew who loved to use that kidou spell. It was Rukia. The kidou had killed the hollow and Orihime ran to Ulquiorra. An endless flow of tears and as she knelt beside the man she loved her hands shook voilently.

"Y...You can die," Orihime said in a shaky breath," y...you can't"

The pain constricting her chest making it harder to breath and it felt like she were to explode. she needed to save him, she needed the assistance of Ayame and Shuno. Her tears landed on Ulquiorra's cheeks and landed on his uniform. The only thing Ulquiorra could do was hold Orihime's chest to reassure that it would be okay. Ulquiorra had never taken off the necklace he had found in the sand in Las noches. It was a symbol representing there love. No matter how long he lived in this third life he wold never have taken it off. Orihime knew his life was treading. He had blood splattered on his face from his mouth that dripped down his lips to his chin. She pressed her lips to kiss him once last time and wished there could have been more time or that life could be so unfair. Orihime did not know what happened after a hollows life or even a soul reapers. Was it for sure death or was there another life awaiting them? She didn't want to know because she wanted to be with Ulquiorra and die alongside with him.

"Soten Kishun I reject" she whispered.

Suddenly there was a bright long oval placed over Ulquiorra's body. She noticed his eyes were squinted and she could barely detect the the emerald eyes. It worked, her powers had once again returned. Orihime gasped and concentrated watching as the hole that was inside Ulquiorra slowly stitch itself together. Rukia stod beside her and watched as she preformed. Once finished Orihime turned to Rukia.

"I need to send you to the soul society you know that right," said Rukia.

"Yes," said Orihime," Ulquiorra I want you to hear this. I love you so much. I'm going to come back I promise. I'm going to become stronger and we'll be together again. I want you to live in my house. I don't want it to be sold to anyone. I love you a lot."

"I love you too," said Ulquiorra.

A single tear slide down Ulquiorra's cheek causing Orihime to cry even more. She didn't want to go but she knew if she didn't leave she would too become a hollow herself like her brother Sora did. Orihime did not want to risk it. She would do what she set out to do. Become a soul reaper and become as strong as Rukia and Renji.

"I'll send you to soul society," said Rukia," I will go to Yamamoto too and have him place you in a squad. Find your way to the gate and meet Jidanbo. I'll meet you there ."

Orihime knew she would have soul reaper powers since she alread yhad spiritual pressure. It was not the greatest but she was preapred to leave.

"Goodbye Ulquiorra," said Orihime," until next time."

The light grew at the end of Rukia's zankpaktou and she was tapped lightly on the forehead and transformed into a hell butterfly on her way to soul society.

"Goodbye Orihime," said Ulquiorra," I love you."
