Ok, I feel like I haven't talked to guys who read my story much…..Anyways, I hope you guys like my story…er I really don't know what to say….Also, I just thought of something the other day! If anyone has a birthday, let me know, because I want to have one of my chapters dedicated to you. Please review after you read my story! Enjoy!:D
Ulquiorra and Orihime were walking towards his house now. The rest of the day after lunch had surprisingly passed by quickly. Orihime gasped in surprise as they stood at the gates of Ulquiorra's house.
"Is that your house?" Orihime asked Ulquiorra, shocked at how rich he was. Ulquiorra nodded his head silently as he opened the gate and started walking through the path in the gardens to get to the door. He turned around when he noticed the girl wasn't following him. He motioned his hand to Orihime, who was still at the gates.
She scurried up the path quickly and smiled a bright smile at Ulquiorra's families' garden. They walked up the porch steps together and Orihime watched as Ulquiorra stuck his hand in his pocket, and pulled out a house key. He stuck the key in the lock, twisted it and pushed open the door. He held the door open for Orihime to walk through it first.
Orihime smiled gratefully and stepped into the Grand Hall room. She looked around the huge room in awe. She turned around and smiled at Ulquiorra who was now in the house with the door closed and locked.
"WOW! This is really amazing, Ulquiorra! You're so lucky! I only live in an old and cramped apartment but it's still really cozy! I can cook well and clean and-"
Ulquiorra then took the chance to cut her off while she was pausing.
"Where shall we work on our project?" Ulquiorra didn't know if the girl had any certain preferences.
Orihime thought about this for a moment. "Any where you want, I guess." Orihime suddenly felt very shy. She did not know how to act in a rich person's house, let alone speak the proper terms. She didn't even know the rules of the house.
Ulquiorra broke her thoughts of worry and started walking up the Grand Stairs. "Follow me."
Orihime obeyed and followed after him, walking down long corridors and hallways. They finally reached a plain wooden door. It wasn't as fancy like all the other things in the house. Ulquiorra took out yet another key and stuck it in the lock.
He was used to locking and unlocking his door because of Grimmjow's many sneak attacks and pranks that he set up in his room any time he forgot to lock his door. With an easy twist of his arm, he unlocked the door and stepped through the door way.
He tossed his school bag on his bed and more gracefully, set the bag of supplies they had bought for the project earlier on the ground. Orihime looked around Ulquiorra's room in surprise. She hadn't expected his room to look normal like a teenager's room. She had expected for his room to look fancy just like the rest of the house did.
Orihime got over her shock and sat down on the floor, sitting on top of her legs. She pulled out a journal and a pen out from her school bag and started writing things down.
"What do you want to do? Draw a picture or write a description?" Orihime asked thoughtfully.
Ulquiorra thought about this too. He was really good at writing and grammar. He was also good at drawing, too. He was better at drawing than he was at writing so….
"I think we should draw it out, it will give us a clearer image and it won't take as much room as writing a description out." Ulquiorra answered.
* * *
Grimmjow was walking through the hall way, heading towards the Karate Dojo. He had signed up for martial arts practice. Ulquiorra had signed up too but he was skipping out so he could work on the project.
He suddenly sensed someone behind him and quickly jumped up in the air, did a back flip and landed behind the person who was following him. He reached for the person's arms, in an attempt to pin the person's arms behind their back……but, sadly failed. The person, Grimmjow noticed was Tatsuki. She was the girl he sat next to in the class room.
She also jumped up into the air but instead of doing a back flip, she thrust out her right leg and landed a good and painful kick in Grimmjow's face. She then bounced off of his face and swung her arm back to punch Grimmjow in the guts; Grimmjow saw through her move and blocked it easily.
Grimmjow also swung his arm back to try to punch the girl in the stomach. She grinned an evil grin and jumped back, bounced off the wall and kicked Grimmjow in a place where no dude wants to be kicked by a very strong girl. Tatsuki grinned again; she was glad that she had finally got through Grimmjow's defense.
"Don't start thinking that I'll go easy on you because you're a girl!" Grimmjow grinned and pinned Tatsuki against the wall. People who stayed after school, looked at them funny when they walked by Grimmjow and Tatsuki, who was currently pinned against the wall, trying to kick Grimmjow somewhere-anywhere, just as long as she kicked him anywhere. Tatsuki grunted as her foot made contact with Grimmjow's stomach-how lucky! Grimmjow grunted and released his firm grip against her.
Tatsuki grinned again and jumped up into the air and kicked the back of Grimmjow's spiky blue head. This time, Tatsuki pinned him up against something. Only this time it was against the floor, in the middle of the hall way.
"You're pretty good, I'll admit that much!" Grimmjow suddenly said, unexpectedly. Tatsuki wasn't used to getting compliments at her fighting skills so the compliment caught her off guard and caught her by surprise.
"Yeah, you're pretty good at fighting yourself" Tatsuki replied with a grin on her face. Tatsuki grunted as Grimmjow flung her off of his back and into the wall. He stood up and smiled an evil and cocky smile. He shuffled his feet as he walked over to Tatsuki and held out his hand to her so he could help her up.
"Come on, we'll be late for practice if we don't hurry up." Grimmjow told her as he noticed what time it was.
"Yeah, let's go" Tatsuki replied as she grabbed her things which were scattered all over the floor in the hallway, along with Grimmjow's things. They grabbed their book bags and started rushing down the hallway, towards Karate practice.
"Hey, you wanna come over to my house after practice?" Grimmjow asked out of the blue. Tatsuki grimaced at the thought of going over to some guy's house-especially the one he just fought.
"Sure" Tatsuki finally answered with content and satisfaction. Grimmjow smiled.
Ulquiorra had drawn an exact model of the place he had seen in his vision, except for the girl who looked strangely like Orihime. She even had the same blue hair pins as the girl did in his vision. He sensed that the hairpins had meant a great deal to the girl so he decided to ask her about them later.
Orihime was currently digging in the bag of supplies they had bought on their way here. She pulled out two plastic boxes, one filled with clay and one filled with modeling sand. She then held them up on either side of her head and asked, "Which one should we use to make the moon, the clay or the modeling sand?" Ulquiorra looked up from his drawing and looked at the options.
"I think we should use the clay so that we can use the sand for the sand"
'That felt weird putting the sentence like that.' Thought Ulquiorra.
Orihime went rummaging through the bag again and this time pulled out a plastic bag. She showed Ulquiorra the bleach white sand.
"But that's why we got this" Ulquiorra looked up again and frowned.
"Well then use the modeling sand for the moon and use the regular sand for the dessert." Ulquiorra answered, still frowning.
"Okay!" Orihime brightened and smiled, glad that the problem was resolved. She took the modeling sand out of the box and tore a chunk out of one of the corners. She began to squish her hand together-resulting in a moon-looking shape.
Orihime wanted to make the moon look realistic but beautiful like in fantasies at the same time. She formed little mini-rocks and craters to make the shape look realistic, and then made it look like the shape had a glow to it and also adding cool and spooky shadows in the places where it needed them. She added the shadows behind craters and rocks and a little bit next to the dents.
Next, she pulled a see through string through the figure and hung it up in the cardboard box.
While Ulquiorra was making the background for the cardboard box, he heard a familiar voice call out to him. At first, he thought it was nothing but the voice kept calling out to him. He stood up and walked to his door in his room. As he opened the door, he was met with a blast of shouts.
It was Grimmjow and someone else-great….
He turned towards Orihime and asked, "Do you want to take a break and eat something?"
Orihime looked up from her little paper mache building. She nodded as Ulquiorra turned and started down the stairs. This time, she followed. Ulquiorra frowned as he saw Grimmjow and Tatsuki bickering to each other. They were arguing about who won their fight and who didn't.
Tatsuki smiled up at Ulquiorra, one of the other new kids. Behind him, she saw Orihime.
"Orihime? What are you doing here?" Tatsuki yelled up to her. Ulquiorra and Grimmjow grimaced at her yelling. Orihime noticed and yelled more softly.
"Tatsuki, remember? We are working on the project for class!"
Ulquiorra shook his head slowly and started descending down the stairs once again. Orihime trotted after him while an awkward giggle escaped her lips.
The two were now in the kitchen. They were seated at the black counter bar. They-well Orihime was eating Rice balls and sushi with honey, peanut butter, and chocolate syrup drizzled and spread all over the food. Ulquiorra on the other hand, was eating a bag of barbeque potato chips and a Dr. Pepper soda can.
Orihime was now giggling because she was surprised to find how hungry she had been in the past hours or so. She couldn't believe that she hadn't noticed it before. Ulquiorra was now glaring at Grimmjow who was now in the room with Tatsuki. Ulquiorra's glare said, ' Say anything-anything at all, and you're dead! I so mean this! I can still blackmail you about that one time when you-'
"Okay! Okay! I won't say anything, I swear!" shouted Grimmjow who had known what Ulquiorra's glare had meant. Tatsuki started laughing at his stupid and random outburst.
"SHADDUP!" Grimmjow roared. "It's not funny!" As he said those last words, he tried to punch Tatsuki but missed and made a very-noticeable-dent in the counter. Tatsuki couldn't help it, she started giggling but stopped when Ulquiorra gave her a glare…
Ulquiorra stood up and glared at Grimmjow who was trying to hide the dent from Ulquiorra.
"If you're going to ruin this kitchen, you will be the one paying all of the fines and bills." Ulquiorra said calmly.
Orihime looked between the two siblings nervously, she didn't know what was about to happen, but she had this really bad feeling…
Just then, Ulquiorra and Grimmjow's mother walked in the room and smiled at everyone lounging in the kitchen. Orihime looked at Asteriyanna. She gasped in wonder and surprise. She looked like Ulquiorra exactly-except for the hair. The hair was still kind of curly like Ulquiorra's hair but longer. She had emerald-green eyes that shone brighter than Ulquiorra's eyes. She looked like she was wearing mascara, but with a closer look-she wasn't. She had very long and thick eyelashes, which is why it looked like she had mascara on. She was currently wearing one of those suits under shirts, except it was black. She was loosely wearing a green tie around her neck along with a pendant. The pendant was a sterling-silver dragon, wrapped in a spiral. It's pointed tail was clutching a blue sphere. She was wearing dark blue skinny jeans that had tears in them.
Asteriyanna laughed nervously. "Uhhhhh….Is there a reason you're staring at me?" She asked Orihime.
Orihime blushed a deep blush. "Oh! I'm sorry! You looked really pretty!" Orihime answered.
"Why thank-you!" She replied happily. She walked to the fridge and then grabbed a can of soda. It was the same kind of soda that Ulquiorra had been drinking only moments ago. 'Okay, so the two looked alike and had the same tastes' Thought Orihime.
Asteriyanna turned towards Grimmjow. "Whatcha got there Grimmjow? You look extremely guilty….." She trailed off as she saw the dent Grimmjow was trying so hard to hide.
She smiled an evil grin, walked up to Ulquiorra and set down her soda can next to his. She then cracked her knuckled as she walked swiftly to Grimmjow. Grimmjow looked terrified.
"Don't worry honey I won't hurt you…." She trailed off as she grunted when picking Grimmjow up, then ran to the nearest window and threw him out of the house. She went over to a smirking Ulquiorra and grabbed her soda can. She then walked over to Tatsuki and patted her shoulder.
"If he does anything stupid, feel free to hurt him!" Asteriyanna told Tatsuki. At this, Tatsuki grinned. Asteriyanna left the room and swept up the stairs to the gaming room. Grimmjow and she shared this room all the time when they played video games. Ulquiorra was the only one who didn't play any.
"Wow! You're mom is really awesome!" Tatsuki suddenly exclaimed to Ulquiorra.
Ulquiorra nodded his head in agreement. She wasn't like most moms and was surprisingly violent.
They all heard grunts and moans. They looked at the window to see Grimmjow attempting to climb up the wall and into the window. Suddenly they heard him screaming.
"GAHHHHH! HOLY SHIT! YOU GUYS! HEY HELP ME IN! THERE'S A DAMN PANTHER DOWN HERE!!" Grimmjow screamed at them.
Tatsuki looked down and so did Ulquiorra and Orihime. Yup. There was a panther down there.
"Tatsuki, Orihime, I want you two to hold on to my legs and lower me down so I can pull him up." Ulquiorra said suddenly.
Orihime hesitated at first, but then nodded. Tatsuki also nodded. With that, Ulquiorra started crawling out the window, looking as if ready to start his bungee-jumping lessons. Tatsuki grabbed onto one of his legs and Orihime grabbed the other as they slowly lowered him down.
Orihime loosened her grip and let go as they almost had Grimmjow in. The panther was now jumping up and snapping at Grimmjow's blue and spiky head.
Tatsuki also dropped his leg, but as he was about to fall, grabbed onto his pant leg at the ankle length. Tatsuki began to pull them up as Ulquiorra's pants slipped off. He gasped in surprise and embarrassment but then realized that there was a rabid panther below him. The panther was squished under Grimmjow's and Ulquiorra's weight. The panther also happened to get knocked unconscious as Grimmjow farted.
Ulquiorra glared at him, but then realizing the laughs above him and beside him, coming from Tatsuki and Grimmjow stood up and brushed of his now-very-hairy-green-boxers.
Orihime tossed down his pants while Tatsuki was on the floor, literally laughing her ass off. Literally.
Ulquiorra blushed as he ran off into the bushes to slip on his pants. Grimmjow was still laughing at him but then Ulquiorra shouted something that shut him up.
"Yeah well I wouldn't be laughing if I were you! You just knocked a rabid panther unconscious by one of your disgusting farts…..again." Ulquiorra shouted to Grimmjow who wasn't laughing anymore. Tatsuki was though, and she had gotten pictures with her cell phone camera too!
Asteriyanna came running into the room.
"What happened?" She asked worriedly.
Tatsuki pointed to the window and explained everything- When I say everything-I mean EVERYTHING that happened just now.
Tatsuki then took out her cell phone, and showed her the pictures of Ulquiorra in his boxers. She began laughing just as Tatsuki had been a couple of minutes ago.
Ulquiorra and Grimmjow walked in through the front door. They ran to the kitchen and saw the laughing Asteriyanna.
Grimmjow tackled her while Ulquiorra stayed behind but was smirking. While them two were fighting, Ulquiorra grabbed Orihime and rushed upstairs to his room to start on the project again.
Orihime smiled at Ulquiorra." Thanks" she said.
Ulquiorra didn't ask what she had meant by that simple phrase-he knew exactly what she had meant. Hey, Ulquiorra….um do you want to walk with me after school tomorrow? There's this candy shop I wanted to visit." Orihime asked nervously.
"Hmmm."Ulquiorra nodded his head. "Wait, what initial does the candy shop's owner begin with?" Ulquiorra asked, suddenly worried that it might be someone he knew from his childhood.
"The initial begins with a "u" " Orihime answered him.
"Ah, Urahara Kisuke" Ulquiorra remembered.
***
"AHHHH-AHHHHH-ACCCHHHOOO!" Sniffled Kisuke off in the distance.
"Do you have a cold boss?" Tessai asked him.
"Ahhh no I'm fine really! I bet some pretty girl mentioned my name is all." Kisuke answered with his voice sounding stuffy.
"Sure, sure" Tessai mumbled
"Did you say something?" Kisuke asked Tessai.
"Ahh no no." Tessai answered quickly.
***
"You know him?" Orihime asked curiously.
Ulquiorra didn't answer her. Of course he remembered. He was the man that saved both his and Grimmjow's lives when they were ten years old. He was also the man who let their father get killed without a single word of regret.
*Flash Back*
Ulquiorra had always been a very happy child. He smiled, he laughed, and he showed emotion. Most of all-he loved. H e loved his parents, and his brother, too.
Ulquiorra and Grimmjow were walking by their father on either side of him. They were going to celebrate their mother's birthday and had wanted to throw a huge surprise party and invite all of her friends and family.
It was really nice out today, the sun was shining, there was a soft wind tugging at Ulquiorra's hair. There was cherry blossom trees full bloom in the middle of May. There were some of the petals, being tugged at by the soft wind and fell off, drifting off with the wind; going with the flow.
Right now, Ulquiorra was carrying flowers, plates, forks and spoons, cups, and a bag of chips. Grimmjow was carrying their mother's favorite soda: Dr. Pepper Cherry. He was also carrying table cloths.
Their father was carrying the cake; also mom's favorite: Vanilla Cake with chocolate frosting.
They suddenly heard a loud screeching sound that was inhuman. Their father ordered the boys into the car and told them to stay there. Ulquiorra was sitting in the front seat, holding their mother's birthday cake. Grimmjow was sitting in the back; on the verge of peeing his pants which he used to do very often when easily scared.
Ulquiorra jumped out of the car as he heard his father yelling at someone or something. He ran up and gasped when he saw his father wounded and bleeding. He looked at the monster above his father. The monster had a white mask on with random patterns. The monster also had a bug-body and was black.
Suddenly, a guy in a bucket hat and clogs (AN./ We all know who that is! Our very annoying bucket hat dude!)
Came at the monster with a sword and sliced the hollow in half and left without saying anything or helping us any further.
Ulquiorra cried as his father lay there on the ground-helpless and dying.
*Flash Back End*
Orihime waved her hand in front of Ulquiorra's face. "Are you okay?" She asked him.
"Uhh. I'm fine" Ulquiorra answered smoothly. Ulquiorra looked at his alarm clock. It said 9:45 PM. Ulquiorra started putting things away.
"Come one I'll walk you home, it's starting to get dark out." Ulquiorra offered his hand down to Orihime who was still sitting on the floor. Orihime stood up and followed him out the door.
They walked under the moonlight while heading towards Orihime's house. Orihime looked around and shivered. Ulquiorra noticed this and handed her his jacket-it was black with a green skull with head phones over its ears were on the front.
Orihime smiled "Thanks!" She thanked him and slipped the jacket on-zipping it up.
Orihime's Point Of View
We had been walking for a while when I looked around and shivered. Ulquiorra handed me his jacket, and I thanked him then slipped it on. Orihime saw something twinkling in the sky and looked up at the sky. There were stars all over the sky.
To me, it looked like a beautiful dark-blue canvas with a bright moon and twinkling stars. I sighed and bit my lower lip. It was a habit I picked up when I was very little.
I could see my apartment building a couple of blocks away from here. I looked over at Ulquiorra; he was staring up at the moon as we walked. I smiled as I thought about the moon we saw in our visions.
"Hey did you remember-"We both started at the same time but then turned away and avoiding each other's eyes. I was blushing a deep red while he had a light pink on his cheeks. You could barely tell that he was blushing but the extra color was there.
I smiled "Sorry, you go first..ehehehehhh.."
Ulquiorra's features softened," I think we both know what we wanted to say."
I nodded my head "yeah". For some reason, I wasn't in a talkative mood today. I wouldn't space out as much either….
I sneaked a look over at Ulquiorra and I gasped. The moon's light was shining down on him. His raven hair was glowing from the moonlight. His pale skin was even paler but softer looking. He had a demonic aura around him but it was un-harmful all the same.
Somehow Orihime knew.
She knew that she had to be here.
Right now.
With him.
Under the moonlight.
Right now, right here, with him, under the moonlight-the beautiful moonlight.
