A Caged Bird

Panic. Fear. Nausea. Rukia felt all these. Panic, being caught by the enemy. Fear, She knew she was no match for him. Her urge to vomit when he touched her. Those hands...How many have died by his hands?

Her body went stiff, the warmth left her. The thought to fight back left her as soon as it enter her mind. Useless. It was all useless. She readied herself for death. Death by the hands of an arrancar. How funny that it was that she would not let anything get in her way to save a friend, but one of the things that was dragging everyone down was now her. She closed her eyes. She straighten her body, she is a Kuchiki, and she'd be damned if she wasn't one to the end. Her head held high, I will not bring shame to the Kuchiki clan.

"Well?" Rukia said in a cold voice.

"Well what, trash?" Ulquiorra monotoned voice replied.

"You are going to kill me, right?"

"Aizen has use for you." With that, Ulquiorra picked up the petite Shinigami and used Sonído.

The urge to vomit increased. Rukia's mind was filled with thoughts. What does he mean Aizen has use for me? Where am I going? How can I escape?

As if sensing her thoughts, Ulquiorra spoke, "You cannot escape." Rukia knew that it was true, but couldn't help feeling the need to escape, to get away from the awful situation.

She looked up at his face. Green eyes, pale skin, messy black hair, cyan lines running down his face. His hollow helmet rested on the left side of his head. Ulquiorra looked down at her for a second. He continued to their destination. Rukia then looked down. Never before has Rukia wanted so much to be in the embrace of death.

Rukia Kuchiki. One of the Shinigami that came to save that woman. She was easily captured, being smart enough to realize that resistance was pointless. Whats so special about this trash? Ulquiorra might not see it but he trusted Aizen about her.

Ulquiorra neared a small building. Looking around , there was not another building in site. He stopped right in front of it. He pulled something out of his left pocket and opened the door. It was a dark room. Rukia squirmed in hold. Ulquiorra shut the door then dropped Rukia to the floor. He heard the Shinigami mutter, something about him. He faintly heard her say bastard. Ulquiorra might of smirked but of course his constant frown was firmly in place. He turned a switch and the light came on, flickering for a second. He saw the petite woman survey the room. A bed, some chairs, and a table was all that was the white room had to offer.

Without a word, he turned a left the little kuchiki girl, locking the door to her new cage.

Ichigo was healed by Orihime but she couldn't heal his wounded pride. How dare Ulquiorra leave him like that? That bastard. He could barely contain his anger.

"Ichigo..." Orihime said, looking as if she was about to cry.

"D-dont cry!" Ichigo had no idea what to do with the now sobbing Orihime.

"I j-just wa-ant to tha-ank you for sa-aving me," She said between sobs, " I didn't-" She was cut off.

"Hey you two, we have to go now!" Ichigo and Orihime looked up, startled, to see Renji.

"What?" Orihime said.

"We have to go. Your save so we must leave and help out in the human world, Aizen is attacking and we need to help them!" Yelled Renji.

Ichigo looked at Renji with horror. His home was under attack? Already? Ichigo calmed himself then looked at Orihime. He picked her up.

"I-ichigo?" she squeaked.

"Does the others know?" Ichigo ignored Orihime.

"Yeah, they're going on ahead already. Hurry up our we'll be stuck here" Renji said impatiently. Ichigo nodded and flashed step, following Renji. He couldn't help but have this nagging feeling in his head. He ignored it and stepped in the garuganta that Urahara some how created. The nagging feeling intensified. The orange hair shinigami looked to the red head.

"Where are the others?"

"They went before us. They were needed. I stayed behind to get you two."

"Oh.." What was so important that he forgot? He got even more irritated as he watch Hueco Mundo disappeared from their view. Ichigo looked down at Orihime. He was able to save his friend so thats all that matters...right?

Rukia sat on the ground. The same spot Ulquiorra dropped her. That bastard. How dare he! First he kidnaps her, spouting some random bull about Aizen, then bring her to the remote building and dropping her like a sack of potatoes. The nerve of that guy. Rukia hand went to her zanpakutō, hoping to be able to use Hakuren on the walls. Her hands was empty. When did he steal Sode no Shirayuki?

Rukia grinded her teeth. She was furious at the arrancar. As furious as she was at the green eyed arrancar, she was even angrier at herself. How could she let her self be taken away by him? How could she of let him take shirayuki without noticing. Pathetic. Just pathetic.

Rukia got up and looked at the walls. Looked harmless, but knowing Aizen, it must have alot of kidō spells on it, making it useless for her to try using her kidō. Rukia then walked around, looking for something to bash the wall with. The chair. One chair wouldn't be missed, there was two others. Rukia grabbed the nearest chair. She threw it at the wall with all her strength. The chair broke into pieces, the wall stood triumph. Rukia sighed.

Walking towards the bed, Rukia head lowered in defeat. Climbing into the bed, Rukia knew she needed to keep up as much strength as she could. She had to be alert at all times. Rukia closed her eyes thinking of her situation. Her mind got drowsy and as she feel into a sea of sleep, Rukia's last thought bothered her. What happened to Ichigo and the others?

Ulquiorra headed toward the room where he usually gathered with the rest of the espada. His left hand tucked into his pocket, his right held a Zanpakutō. He stole it from that violet eyed when she was busy squirming in his hold.

Violet eyes...Her image flashed before his eyes. Black hair, pale skin though not as pale as his, short in hight, she was incredible light, and those eyes...Such an unusual color. Her eyes showed him anger, pain, sadness...so much sadness, but in an instant he saw determination in her eyes. A rare beauty in humans and shinigami standers.

He cleared his head, pushing all thoughts of her out. Why think of trash like her? Must be because Aizen ordered the kidnapping. Aizen must think of her very useful. When he is done with her, she'll just become another corpse.

Ulquiorra entered the meeting room. He gave a small bow. "Aizen-sama." He greeted

Aizen smiled at the green eyed Arrancar. "Ah Ulquiorra, how is my little bird?"

In case you don't remember:

Garganta: how Arrancar and Menos-class Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. Urahara was able to copy this technique,

Sonído: The Arrancar version of flash step.

I decided to write a RukiaXUlq one shot. It should be posted but its very short.
