Chapter 3

A Stolen Kiss... Rivals once more

"Yeah... real smart looking..." Ulquiorra commented as he left the office. Looking about the place he noticed that the halls were completely bare, blank. No color but white, lockers lining only one wall. Taking a turn Ulquiorra looked up and read the number on the door "B-7..." he sighed walking into the room. (I Guess I have no choice... not until I figure out how to get my powers back...) he thought upon entering.

"You must be the new kid" the teacher at the top of the room smiled, her long light-brown hair falling over her shoulders, though somehow completely clear of her face. "yeah..." Ulquiorra answered. The teacher seeming to ignore his comment smiled at the rest of the class "Everyone this is Uryiu Uske" she said to the class before telling him to pick an empty seat and to go ahead and get seated.

Doing as told Ulquiorra took the only seat available besides one that was sat back in the far corner of the room. Usually that would be his seat but for the fact that Orihime sat next to the seat in which he took. "Hey... thanks for earlier..." he told her. It seemed safe seeing as how she didn't seem to notice exactly who he was.

Looking into Uqluiorras emerald green eyes Orihime giggled "It was no problem. It was nice to meet you" she said before turning to face the front of the room, the second bell ringing.

After school had ended Ichigo came up from the back of the room not being noticed before. For the first time he was actually early, usually making a late entrance. "Hey Orihime you free after school?" he asked her

"What a coincidence" Ulquiorra laughed "I was just about to ask the same thing..." he said scratching the back of his head with one hand trying to make everything seem natural. Then seeing that Ichigo wasn't going to move away he turned back to Orihime. "so what do you say... wanna hang out?" he asked

"Sure me you and Ichigo can all go to the park or something" he smiled brightly before hugging him. Stuck in an awkward position Ulquiorra just sat there for a moment before finally raising his arms and wrapping them around her hesitantly.

"Come on!" Ichigo broke the hug "Let's get going if we want to make it before dark" he grinned. He wouldn't admit it but he had a crush on Orihime and couldn't bear to stand the new kid getting a hug such as the one she gave him. 'This is going too far mister...' Ichigo thought, 'better kiss her at the park... before he gets an idea' he thought as they started to walk out of the school.

After school at the park

Ulquiorra laughed hanging upside down on monkeybars, watching Orihime try it. 'your out of your league Ichigo...' he thought. On the way to the park after noticing that Ichigo had a thing for Orihime he decided that he'd take as much time as he could with her so that Ichigo wouldn't have it. Also if he could he was even on planning to like her.

When almost up she ended up falling though. "Ouchie..." she mumbled rubbing the back of her head.

Jumping down almost immediately Ulquiorra was by her side, though Ichigo had gotten there first and was helping her up. "Look Orihime... I know this isn't the right time but..." Ichigo started knowing he had to do this now "I..." he leaned in.

'Oh no your not..." Ulquiorra thought putting his hand on her shoulder. Surprised she looked at Ulquiorra which caused Ichigo to miss and kiss her cheek. "I like you" Ulquiorra said quickly giving her a deep passionate kiss on the lips. Surprisingly her lips were warm and soft unlike what he imagined.

Trying to struggle at first Orihime soon gave up falling under the spell of Ulquiorra's kiss. She kissed back forgetting Ichigo for a minute her hands wrapping around the small of his back. Feeling his tongue against her lips she opened her mouth to allow entry soon feeling his tongue brush against hers.

"Hey!" Ichigo yelled pulling her back and making her fall. With a scowl Ichigo went off "What was that?" he asked before looking at her. Looking back again "You bastard..."

Not expecting Ichigo to react so badly Ulquiorra was caught by surprise as Ichigo's fist connected with his cheek. "Damn..." he shook his head, "What's wrong with you?" he asked "You were about to do the exact same thing?..." his voice lowered as a smile crept across his lips. Ready for the next attack he side-stepped Ichigo's next hit and spun around, though never making contact with him. "STOP!" Orihime cried with tears in her eyes.

They both stopped immediately, Ichigo going to her. "No..." she looked away from him the tears still in her eyes. "I want Uryiu.." she sniffled. Walking away even more pissed now Ichigo clenched his fist. 'your going to pay...'
