I lay on my side, my face half-concealed by the pillow. God's quiet tones floated over me. Ulquiorra had come and he had slipped from me to hear the report.
"One was injured?"
My breath caught. Who had it been? I hadn't wished for any of my friends to be hurt.
"It was unavoidable." Ulquiorra's tone was succinct, lacking emotion. "The woman resisted."
Rukia! A shudder of remorse gripped me from the depths of my soul. Though I knew my deception would cause them pain, I didn't mean for it to end like this. For them to come to harm because of me.
The tone in his voice surprised me. "It is impermissible that they should've been harmed Ulquiorra." Reproving. Gently criticizing as a father should over his children. "I'm sorry that I should have caused you displeasure over my actions." I did not like Ulquiorra. His obvious servility and admiration for every fiber of God's being, made me believe it went deeper than simple reverence for one so great.
"It is alright." A gentle smile in his voice. "As long as it doesn't occur again."
"Yes, my Lord." Ulquiorra basked in the light of the moon. I felt sick with resentment.
"Where is she now, Ulquiorra?" His long, muscular form lounged in the doorway, the flowing white robe he had slipped on over the hakama bared his chest. The hands that had caressed my most intimate places, lay on either side of the door. My God was breathtaking to glimpse the way I had from his rise to the heavens that fateful day. Yet his presence was even more magnificent when I had come before him again.
"In the sick bay. Szayel is attending her," Ulquiorra said after a long moment. "The rest of Kurosaki's friends have departed, save for the Shinigami-and...another."
Surprise colored his tone. "Ah.. another one who refused then, Ulquiorra?"
"No, my Lord. This one has agreed to join us in exchange for staying by Kurosaki's side."

AN: another thing, Aizen is referenced sometimes as being like the moon for the Hollows-hence Ulquiorra basking in the light of the moon.
