"It had been 70 years, 70 years ago, on that one day, I met you.. You scared me..You forced me to leave my friends..
But slowly, I started to learn what you were really thinking.. How you really felt, what you wanted to feel..
I'll never forget the way you tried to protect me but still tried to make it look like you were just following orders.. Those silent green eyes, always watching over me..
Even after you were no longer there, I still felt your protecting gaze on my back. Keeping me safe in every kind of situation, like my own guardian angel..
I miss you so much, it hurts me every day. But even with all the pain, there isn't a single day that went by without thinking of you.. Ulquiorra.. I hope I can see you soon..
Orihime slowly tucked her gray hair behind her ear, softly smiled to the sky and closed her eyes for the last time in her human life.

Ow! Orihime crashed loud and hard on the yellowish pavement. She felt kinda dizzy and when she tried to stand up she almost fell over again.
'Where am I?'
As she looked around she spotted herself in a mirror. A young pretty face surrounded with beautiful orange hair stared back at her in shock.
'Is that me? I look like I'm 18 again!'
'Yes.. I assume that's you. And we're in soul society if that information is enough to answer your question?'
The soft voice had startled her and before she knew it, she was on the ground again.
' I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to scare you... Here..'
Orihime finally looked up at the stranger as he offered her his hand to help her get back up.
Their gazes met.. 'Such beautiful green eyes.' She thought when she took his hand.
