"Stupid Arrancar.", Ichigo muttered as he put pressure on a cut he had received.
Ichigo looked around and was shocked to see that no one had been able to get through. In fact some of his friends had been beaten. Grimmjow and the Arrancar with pink hair were talking to each other because both Renji and Rukia weren't moving. He looked to Sora and cursed.
"So", Sora spoke up, "will you people stand down?"
Yoruichi laughed, "Stand down? I haven't had this much fun since we rescued Rukia!"
While Yoruichi was talking to Sora , Nel had gotten a good shot in, sending her into a tree. Nel seemed surprised and even, oddly enough, sorry,
"Oh no! Sora I think I hit her too hard!"
Sora couldn't stop his chuckle, "Nel, she is a captain level opponent. She won't go down from one hit. Even from you."
Sora caught Ichigo's blade before it hit, "I am having a conversation here. That was rude."

Orihime woke to the sound of fighting. She sat up quickly looking for who or what was fighting, but all she saw was Ulquiorra staring at her T.V. She crawled over to him and pulled his hair playfully,
"So what you watching?", she pulled a little harder.
He turned to her, "I am watching this person fight against what I would believe to be impossible odds."
She finally looked to see exactly what he was watching, "Batman?"
"So that is what this person is called."
Orihime laughed a little, "Ulquiorra Batman is not a real person he is a fictional being that fights crime in a fictional city."
"Why put such trash on this thing", he pointed to the T.V.
"Ulquiorra! It isn't trash. It's entertainment."
Orihime turned the T.V. off and wrapped her arms around his neck. She was confused and a little afraid. What were they going to do? She couldn't stay with him here and she didn't want to leave her friends, so what could she do?
"Ulqui-"
"Woman, Orihime, I came here to find out what these feelings are that I have." he rubbed her arms, "and now that I know I believe it is time for myself to leave."
He felt her stiffen and tighten her hold on his neck, "You can't leave.", she grabbed some of his hair, "you just came back."
He sighed, "Woman, no matter the feelings that seem to connect us we are still on opposite sides in an ageless and everlasting war. You are a human girl and I am an Arrancar. You eat human food and I eat human souls. yo-"
"Stop...please."
He could feel her tears as they hit his shoulder. It hurt him to do this, but she needed to be reminded that they were and are two different beings.
"Can't I go with you?", she whispered without hope.
"No"
"So this will be the last time we see each other?"
"Most likely."
Orihime pulled his hair until he turned around. She stared into his eyes for what seemed like an eternity. She lowered her face within an inch of his and whispered,
"If this is the last time we will ever see each other", she kissed him lightly, "will you make it a good memory?"
He watched as she pulled away and walked back into her room. He stared in her direction for about a minute before standing and walking in after her. He slowly closed the door behind him.

It had been four hours since Sora had started this conflict with the shinigami. No one was fighting any more though. Yoruichi and Nel had come to a draw and were laying next to each other by a tree. Grimmjow and pinky were still talking by the now waking Renji and Rukia. Urahara was fanning himself as he watched Ichigo lie panting on the ground. 'Damn, what is taking so long? Well it doesn't really matter anyhow as long as he gets to me before he leaves. Still I'm getting bored'
Sora sighed as he sat next to Ichigo, "Tell me something, why are you trying to get Orihime away from Ulquiorra?"
Ichigo glared at him, "Because we are her friends and we want her happy."
Sora looked at Ichigo and said with a very uncharacteristic d tone, "And if Ulquiorra is what makes her happy?"
Ichigo's eyes grew sad, "That's what I'm afraid of. If he does then the Soul Society will come and arrest her for consorting with the enemy."
Sora closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
