Ulquiorra was flying in the night. He flew into a tree and attached himself to an orange, sucking the inside of the fruit. Satisfied by the fruit, he curled his lip at a mosquito flying by. He would not eat bugs, for anything. flying by searching for prey. He dove and circled back. Ulquiorra started to look for a place to spend the day. He had been traveling for a little while now, searching for one person. Long ago he decided that he would find her and protect her.

'She was worth protecting, she was not trash.' He told himself. He couldn't find a tree so he settled for a sign for shoes. He used echolocation to check his surroundings. He took note of the sidewalks and buildings. He didn't like the area, but he heard her talking about Karakura Town in her sleep. So this would be where he would look. The woman would have his help, even if she didn't know it. He wondered if she hated him, but in the last seconds of his life he saw something in her eyes that he would never forget.

Orihime was walking from the grocery store to her house. She sighed, they didn't have the right ingredients for her super bean bean sauce. Rangiku would be so disappointed. She sighed again and didn't notice the three men following her because she was so absorbed in thinking what she would make instead. She passed a shoe store when one of the men grabbed her arm and yanked her back.

"Ummm can I help you," Orihime asked nervously.

"Actually sweetheart, we want to help you," One of the men said while leering. Orihime tried to scream but the third guy covered her mouth. As they ripped off her shirt a black blur came out of no where and launched itself on the first attacker. The second and third guy looked at the first confused. The first started screaming as blood started dripping down his face. The third said,

"What the-," The first fell down and the black blur jumped to the second. The third watched in horror as the second's face was bleeding. The black blur disappeared as the second went down. Orihime was open mouthed while still in the third's grip. The third looked around and tried to run with Orihime but she kicked him and ran until he punched her, and tackled her. The black blur screeched with fury and once again swooped down on the third attacker. Tearing at his face, its wings burst out and covered his eyes. Orihime realized it was a bat. Suddenly, as the third went down, his hand shot out and knocked the bat into the wall. Orihime grabbed the little bat and ran.

When she got home, she was panting and hurriedly put the bat on the table. It wasn't moving. She called her fairies and said,

"Soten kosen, I reject," The bat's eyes opened and Orihime gasped as she saw a color of green she had only seen on one person. The small figure jumped up and flew to a hanging plant on her ceiling, and went to sleep. Orihime would of giggled but she was still in shock as the realization of what would have happened if the bat hadn't attacked her attackers. She shuddered and looked down at what remained of her shirt. Orihime decided that the little bat was fine so she took a bath to calm herself. When she finished the bat was awake and still upside down and watching her.

"Thanks for helping me," she said to the bat, "You look like someone I knew, but he's gone now. So I think I'll call you Ulqui, cause you have the same color eyes he had." Orihime looked down at the last part.

"If you want to stay, you can. I'd like it if you stayed." She didn't know why but for some reason, Ulqui made her feel safe. She smiled and went to sleep.

Ulquiorra watched her fall asleep. Finally he had found the woman. She was lucky he had heard her scream. He grew angry as he thought of the men who had attacked her.

"I must try to stop feeling these emotions. Emotions are trash, and have no purpose." He said to himself. He remembered the glimpse of recognition that he had seen in her eyes. She looked sad. He didn't like seeing her this way. It bugged him. Ulquiorra wondered why when she looked at him, it made her sad. He watched her sleep. She seemed more peaceful than when she was at Las Noches. He couldn't blame her.
