Here's little something different for this story. I decided to have Ulquiorra's POV, since this is bout him after all so back in Japan…..

PS-Do not own anything!

Orihime was currently cleaning their house early in the day. Their daughter Hana was helping her mother by dusting the book shelves, she was on her tippy toes as she tried to get the top of the shelf when she knocked over a few things by accident. Orihime being in the next room, heard something and rushed over to see Hana picking up an old family album from 1912 to 1975. The album belonged to her husband….he had it with him for all his life, both living and dead.

"OH HANA! Are you ok?" she asked worried and kneeled down to her level.

"I'm fine, mom! I just knocked over Dad's album, that's all" she said reassuring her mother. Hana picked the book up and opened it to the first page. It showed a father and a son that looked or resembled a lot like her father in military uniform, but one had dirty blond hair and the other dark brown hair.

"Mom…who's this?" she pointed to said picture. Orihime looked at the picture and read the little words on it. It was in German or Austrian, she couldn't read either.

"I'm not sure sweety looks German….ask your father when he comes back from his errand" her mother said. Hana nodded her head and place the album by her father's sitting chair, so she could ask him later.

Ulquiorra was currently walking towards a cemetery that a little ways off from his home on foot. He was holding Periwinkles and Tiger Lilies in his arms towards a head stone that laid in front of him. The head stone was plain with some candles that the care takers left a while back in front of it. Ulquiorra walked and checked the previous flowers he left 2 weeks earlier. They were wilting, so he replaced them with new, fresh ones, and changed the water.

"Hello Grandmother" he said as he bowed into a fetal position. A few years back he meet his biological mother's mom, when she visited town on vacation. Apparently she was searching for him all her life. At first it was awkward, but over time they talked and made peace with each other. She told him of his real mother and father, of how she ran away looking for him and his father disappearing after his mother's death. Ulquiorra told her of how he met his lover(Don't worry! He somewhat lied!). He was only paying his respects, since she chose to be buried here, instead of in the states, where her husband resided.

"I brought you more flowers from my wife's garden, I knew how much you loved the flowers when you visited" he said talking to the stone as he sat up. Oh, yes. Ulquiorra mellowed out over the 5 years he's been with Orihime.

"I wish you didn't have to die so soon, Grandmother. I would've loved for you to meet my other friends" he said as he lit one candle. He stayed a little longer, till his legs grew numb. Ulquiorra stood up and left the head stone, taking his time getting back home.

"I'm home" Ulquiorra said as he walked in and took his sneakers off. Hana rushed over to him and pulled him by his hand towards the living room.

"DADDY! DADDY!" she said as she sat him down.

"What is it Hana?" he asked. His answer was his photo album shoved into his lap as his daughter crawled in as well. She opened the album to the first page and point to the picture from earlier.

"Who are these people Daddy?" she asked him. Ulquiorra looked at the picture, and saw that it was his great-grandfather, Ludwig Schiffer and grandfather, Ethan Ludwig Schiffer back during the 1st WW.

"Those are your great grandfathers" he told her.

"Really?" she asked as her eyes grew wide.

"Are they German like you Daddy?" she asked him as she turned the next few pages and stopped on one that showed Ethan Ludwig in a concentrated camp uniform. Hana looked at the picture.

"Why is he wearing Pj's?"

"It's a uniform" he told her.

"For what?"

"Work"

"That doesn't look comfortable at all" she said as she turned the page again and saw some momentums in there.

"No it's not" he said coldly. A Swastika arm band, a star of David patch, and few others small things in there as well. Though one caught Hana's eye. It was a picture take a few days after Ethan was liberated from the camps….it was his wedding picture with Elsa.

"Is that Grandma?"

"Yea….."

"she looks like mommy!" she exclaimed happily! Yes it was true. His mother had light brown hair much like his wife, but she had blue eyes instead of grey ones. Saying went true for him, you marry your mothers. Or something like that.

It was lunch time for Rani as she sat on a bench alone. She was a loner as her father. Friends find her first, not the other way around. Her sister Masaki was different though. Everybody wanted to be her friend as soon as they either met her or see her. Her mother says she has that…..glow. It wasn't fair. She gets friends easily and she has to work it.

"Hi Rani" a boy's voice broke her train of thought. Rani looked up to see Aiden with Xahan standing right besides him.

"Hey Aiden…..Xahan" Rani greeted as she beckoned for them to sit. They did so without complaint.

"What are you doing here by yourself?" Xahan asked her as she leaned on her hands. The ghost had a worried look much like a mother would. Rani didn't say anything as she continued to sulk in the bench.

"no reason….." she said bluntly. Silence fell between and it was cutting into both Aiden and Xahan. This girl was unbelievable! No wonder she was alone!

"I met your dad earlier" Xahan said to her. Rani's head perked up to this.

"Ghost say what now?"

"you heard my kid. I met your dad earlier and it looks like you've been holding out on me" she told her. Aiden looked confused.

"Holding out? What do you mean?" he asked his ghost friend.

"Apparently, her father is friends with my son!" Xahan shouted to her.

"Friends? Who?" she asked her.

"The one with cropped black hair and very green eyes! The one that looks like Markus!" she screamed to Rani, making her short purple hair fly a bit. Aiden tried to calm her down. Rani thought hard as Xahan's fury raged on.

"Xahan you never told us his name or how he looks like!" he told her. This only made her calm a little.

"You're suppose to know! That's why-!"

"Hold it!" Rani butted in. Xahan looked at her.

"You said with black hair and green eyes?" she asked her.

"Yes….." she hissed.

"Is his name…Ulquiorra Schiffer?" she asked cautiously. Xahan's angry face went blank as she heard that last name. That's Markus's family name….

"Y-yes….." tears began to leak out from her eyes. Making her green eyes look like gems. Rani looked at her with sad eyes.

"Where is he?" she asked as she fell to her knees and grabbed Rani's shoulders. Rani looked into her eyes.

"H-he's…."

"RANI!" a very happy voice cut her off and Xahan disappeared instantly. Rani paled as she saw her sister and her two new friends walk over to her and Aiden.
