A/N: Fuck homework, write fanfiction! :D
I know, I'm pathetic. Anyway, if anyone cares (Ha, no one does) I have a small challenge/request thing in my stories. It's called Breathing: Second Chances. Basically it's the kind of story I want to read and I can't find without shuffling through- you guessed it, romance. Or it's just… fail.
I've noticed there's beginning to be a spacing problem, and I apologize if it happens to this fic as well. Even when I edited Heaven, the spacing issue was still there.
LOL: Thanks for the tips! I don't see how I skipped over them XD But yeah, I'll defiantly try to make one for each… but I'd have to re-watch those Toshiro meeting Karin episodes, I skipped over them haha
Disclaimer: Think about it… seriously?
Reaction Shot
Chapter 2: Ulquiorra X Orihime
How long had it been? It was impossible to tell the time in Hueco Mundo, and the eternal moon that never shifted position didn't help. Orihime had to guess it was a few days at least. Her internal clock was still normal, so she slept when she normally slept, got hungry at the usual times, and had a random burst of energy she would usually reserve for P.E. at school. Right now she was beginning to get that burst, so it must have been close to afternoon time. With nothing to do, she hummed quietly as she looked up to her barred window. A light breeze blew in and she sighed.
Just when she was about to enter her perfectly normal daydream zone, her door opened. Ulquiorra silently stepped through and looked at her, impassive as he always was.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Lord Aizen has decided that it would be best to give you something to entertain yourself so that you will not go completely insane. It would ruin his plans."
"Really?" she said with a bit of disbelief.
Ulquiorra closed his eyes and stepped to the side. A single, lowly Arrancar stepped inside and placed a white laptop on the table in the room. The Arrancar bowed to Ulquiorra, then left.
"This… thing has a power source that will last up to 6 hours. After that, it will be taken away to recharge."
Orihime may have not used computers that often, but she knew enough. The Espada watched her as she started the piece of technology up and began punching in keys. He was curious as to why it made her so happy.
"Why are you smiling, woman?"
She looked up to him and motioned for the Espada to come closer.
"Cause it's fun to use computers. I mean, I don't use them at often, but they're still fun. You can play games, do stuff, and use the internet!"
The human girl's enthusiasm confused Ulquiorra. Not even several hours ago she was moping and crying. Did all trash enjoy indulging themselves in staring at a screen?
Ulquiorra continued to watch as she opened up something called the internet and began pointing to pictures of other humans or whatever she found popular. The whole concept made no sense and it was slightly irritating.
"I will return in 3 hours."
Orihime pouted a little when he left the room without another word. It wasn't often she really got to talk to anyone, and even though he could be cruel, he was still company. Regardless, she returned to browsing normally. There was so much she could do now. She could even try to contact her friends! Then again, Orihime didn't want them to get hurt, but she knew they'd try and rescue her regardless. She could wait, especially if she could have a computer for a while.
"Hmm, what to do now? Maybe a search can help me find something."
Giggling, Orihime began searching for 'things to do when bored'. So far, there had been nothing listed she could do in her situation. Then, a certain result caught her eye.
"When I am bored," she began as she read the blog post aloud. "I like to read Bleachy fanfiction. The stories are just so cute and fun to read!"
Orihime had never heard of fanfiction before, so she decided to try it out. From the site, she was linked to some page in English. It wasn't as though she couldn't read it, it just caught her off guard for a moment. For some reason, English had been the easiest class in school.
On the page, a search bar caught her attention. Perhaps she could find something with her name in it, then she could pretend it was really her! Another giggle past her lips as she typed in her full name and hit enter. Much to her surprise, there were so many with her name as well as the names of her friends.
"Woah, even Aizen!" she exclaimed.
There were so many to choose from. The question of just how people knew about her didn't cross her mind as she decided to filter some of the results out.
"Ulquiorra's on here too? Amazing. Though, there seems to be more romance than anything." Orihime giggled. It was a bit cute.
After minimizing things down to less than a hundred results, she began to read through them. It would be easier just to pick the first one, so she did. Something called The Princess and The Servant. It sounded just like a fairy tale, so she decided to read it.
Throughout the rather lengthy story, Orihime couldn't help but to go into fits of laughter. It was too hilarious. Ulquiorra had apparently fallen in love with her and they wanted to escape, but Aizen- the evil King, wouldn't allow it. Orihime nearly fell out of her chair as she held her stomach and slapped her palm on the table.
When she finally finished, her eyes were red and she sniffed.
"I wonder how Ulquiorra or Aizen would react if they read it. It's so-so funny!" she said loudly to herself.
Seeing as how the story was done, she decided to move on to another. Maybe it would be funny as well. The next one was much shorter, and barely took up two pages. Ashes in the Wind seemed to be a promising title, so Orihime clicked it.
It was a bit sad, and if she hadn't read the previous story, she would have cried. Ulquiorra had died in her arms after a dramatic fight with Ichigo and professed his undying love for her. Still, him being in love with her was silly, but it was still sad since he died in such a way. Whoever wrote these fanfictions sure were creative.
Time flew by without her even noticing, and Ulquiorra entered once again. The same Arrancar from earlier pushed a trolley of her lunch in, and Orihime gasped as she looked up.
"Oh, Ulquiorra! Are you going to stay while I eat this time?" she asked excitedly.
He noticed the twinkle in her eyes and became curious again. Had she been crying? After all, he did leave her while she was in a jovial state, perhaps the computer had done something while he was absent.
"Yes, I am." He responded dully.
"Oh, good! I want you to hear this story I just read. It's a fanfiction, and someone wrote about you and me!"
When the Arrancar left, she began to eat her simple meal of soup and bread. She was careful not to spill anything on the keyboard as she dipped a piece of the French bread into the soup and took a bite. After a sip of water, she began the short and strange love story of Candy Addiction.
Ulquiorra's passive face began to form a grimace as she read each word of the offending story. He didn't like sweets in the slightest, and he especially wouldn't have liked them if trash fed it to him. If that's what humans considered entertainment, then the whole universe was made of trash and his whole respect for Aizen had surely dropped a few levels as he was the one responsible for giving the thing to the prisoner. By the time the story was over, Orihime's lunch was finished, and he resisted using a cero on the small computer.
"Woman, never-ever…. Read me such…. Offending material. It's trash. You are trash, and that computer is a piece of the lowest trash."
Orihime squeaked as the metal of the trolley bent under Ulquiorra's strong grip. Wheeling it away, he left her to scratch her head and continue her fanfiction experience.
"Oh well. I guess he wouldn't like it since he doesn't really like anything… but it's still funny!"
With renewed vigor, she continued to read story after story, laughing all the way.
Chapter 2: End
A/N: I can seriously picture her laughing at the whole thing. Maybe I should add Orihime x Ichigo later on. Since in canon, and one sided, I'm not sure though. It would be like her admitting her feelings up close and personal. Ya know, with him awake. If the anime or manga makes it happen, I might do it. Next up… I don't know.
Suggestions, flames, and C.C. welcome!
Lmao, I'm 35 min late for class.
Fluttershy: Yay.
