What should I do now?

Ulquiorra's body and clothes had both been shredded beyond repair after that fight atop the dome of Los Noches, unfortunately leaving him in the torn remains that, unlike his physical health, couldn't be improved without being completely replaced. Useless. Managing to stand despite his stiff muscles Ulquiorra noticed that his sword lay on the ground beside him, both blade and sheath appearing untouched. Had it regenerated as well? Picking up his weapon once more, he walked forward to see where he was. His questions could wait until later.

Why am I still here?

There had been few choices in where to go, and it wasn't like he could just walk about Hueco Mundo half naked. If even half. However, it took a while for Ulquiorra to figure out how to use a garganta again in order to get there, his hand refusing to stop shaking every time he summoned even a small amount of reiatsu. Finally, after countless failed attempts, he managed to create a small and somewhat stable opening. The effort leaving his body trembling. Seems my body isn't as recovered as I thought. It would probably be best to avoid fighting for now.. he thought, watching his hands shake occasionally as he navigated the dark path of the garganta. Soon he'd be back in Los Noches, and, if all went as planned, some clothes.

What is left for me?

It was unusually quiet, even for here. The halls had no traces of use for some time, no voices echoed from the nearby buildings or rooms he passed by. As he made his way through the maze of corridors he passed by a certain room that gave him pause. That woman again.

What happened to her?


Note: Shorter chapter on this one! I might keep making them this way for Ulquiorra.. Tell me what you think if you post a review! ;)
