Upated July 22, 2010

" You know if your going to keep coming to school like this I'm going to get jealous." Lor chuckled pulling my skirt.

" I kinda threw this together this morning. I was running late again."

" Are you ever running on time?"

" Sometimes…" I mumbled, " So you and John what happened last night?" I asked poking her thigh with my finger. She huffed. I smelled a combination of peppermint and cigarettes flow through the air.

" He started that whole thing about marriage again," she mumbled. " He just got a new promotion as an mechanic and has plenty of money to spare."

" So you don't want to marry him? I mean you've been engaged for about five years now. What's the problem?"

" The problem my little naïve chick is that I'm not ready. He may be but I'm not." She bowed her head. " He's talking about moving away and changing our lifestyles."

" And what's wrong with that?"

" When he says change our lifestyles he means for children?" She remarked twisting the diamond ring on her finger.

" Oh," I said feeling a bit stupid. " I never thought Mohawk John would be talking like this."

" Well he is Molly and he's serious. I mean I love him and all but I'm just don't think ready for this. He's even got me so worked up that I threw out my pack of cigs." I felt my eyes widen I surprise. Lor always had her cigs no matter what. I let her continue, " But I don't want to disappoint him. He seems so excited; you should have heard him talking about the house we were going to get and how many kids we're going to have. It's all so confusing."

" Lor I…" The five-minute bell ran before I could get my sentence out. I looked at Lor the concern showing across my face. She smiled her half smile.

" Go on." She urged. " I'll be ok." I grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

" Your figure it out Lor. You always do." I said as I walked down the path back towards school. Determined to not be late today. I suddenly was not in the mood to hear Mr. Baldie bust me today for being late.

Walking in view of the school I spotted Joel sitting on the steps. One leg tucked under the other. Smiling that dazzling smile of his, the lip ring, eyebrow ring and matching earrings seeming to glow in the light of the sun. " Yo," he greeted lifting his hand with his rings that matched his many accessories.

" Hey Joel," I sighed.

" Boot girl," he laughed. I blushed. " So you wanna go to class now or later?" He smiled.

" Now I guess."

" Then lets go boot girl." I nodded and followed him down the hallway where he walked me to my next class.

" I'm home!" I yelled as I slammed the front door. Who am I calling too? Setting my bag I headed into my room. As I expected there we was still in my bed. This time he was asleep, leaning against the head of the bed. My mom's teacups right where he left him.

Gathering up the teacups I sat them on the tray and started out of the room careful not to wake him. Once that was done I filled them again this time with the cold tea left in the fringe.

" Why are you content of taking care of me," he asked opening his eyes and sitting up straight. He caught me by surprise.

" W-well…I…om…"

" Don't hurt yourself. It was just a question." He snapped. I sat the tray down before I got the urge to throw it at him.

" Well for your information I don't feel right just leaving someone who can't even walk, alone with no help. I don't know maybe it's just the way I am."

" Interesting," he sighed

" What so interesting about that?"

He shook his head, and then reaching over with one white hand he grabbed one of the teacups. " You humans," he said before taking a sip. I raised one eyebrow. He said that as if he himself was not human but some kind of superior being.

" You say it as if you're not human," I said staring at his usually white face, and abnormal features. Maybe he's not human, I thought grimly.

" Humph," he said closing his eyes.

" So are you or aren't you?" I replied grabbing one of teacups. Suddenly conscious of how close I was to him without my bat or some form of protection. He didn't answer. His green eyes were focused on me.

" Nevermind." I sighed. " This is useless." I started to turn around my cup still in hand. When my boot caught hold of my rug, snagging it as I started to walk. I slipped following backward, the cup flying from my hand. Landing backwards on the guy. The cup came down hitting the top of his head with a clank, then splitting in half. He didn't flinch.

" Oops," I stated as his eyes drifted down to where I lay on his lap. I felt a cold shiver run down my spine. Tea from the cup dripped from his hair onto my face. I felt my face warm instantly. Sitting up I braced my hand against the bed. He didn't attempt to help me up. " S-sorry," I mumbled as I sat up. Realizing after a moment that I was sitting on his lap. Oh my god. Jumping up off the bed (and his lap) I quickly hurried to regain composure.

" Soap, water…soap and water," I stuttered hurrying into the bathroom. Then filling the basin (the same one that hit him with) with soap and water. Running back to him I pulled out the rag ringed it then began to wipe off his face. He stayed silent, his eyes still locked on me, his body unmoving. I pretended not to notice him glaring at me and continued to wipe the tea off his face. Once done I picked up the two pieces of my mother's now useless teacup and headed out the door.

Once out I tried unsuccessfully to calm the intense beating of my heart. And to erase the vision of his green, aloof eyes staring coldly at me.

Ulquiorra watched the girl leave before shifting his position on her bed. She truly was a stupid and clumsy girl. Touching his face where she had wiped it with the rag, he sighed. He could still feel the heat of her fingers that seemed to burn through the rag itself, her weight against his lap. Feather light yet heavy, it made his chest burn.

She reminds me of her, he thought. How long had it been since the war? Fighting Kurosaki and losing. Fading into the thin air of Hueco Mundo thinking that his life as an Arrancar was truly over. And to some intent it was. He had warned Kurosaki that if he didn't throw the final blow it would never be over. He would come back. But he had insisted that the matter in which we won wasn't how he wanted it to be.

Before fading away he had turned to the woman known as Inoue. " Are you scared of me girl?" He reached out his cold hand. Her eyes watered, in with sympathy in her eyes she replied, I'm not scared." And reached out her hand to his, in the moment she did his hand faded, then moments later his entire body.

He had yet to understand the human way. Why when he treated that woman so cruelly she still cried for him felt sympathy for him. Through he never asked for it, wanted it. Maybe his overanalyzing nature was part of it. Always wondering why certain humans did this, or acted like that. Happiness, love, longing. He couldn't remember a time when he felt these things. Felt anything besides despair. It showed in his eyes, this mouth, his very being.

" What?"

" I'm having an house party. I would love for you to come?" I raised my eyebrow.

" I don't know," I started to say before Joel grabbed my hand. The cold of his rings burning the palm of my hand.

" You know the offer is still good." I nodded innocently. He smiled. " Good."

" Besides," I said, " my parents will probably be home on that day. They pick the worse times to actually show up." He laughed at that.

" Well if you can't make it I can always come over to your house and we can have a party by ourselves." I blushed at that, folding down my skirt.

" Well see you later than," I replied stepping into my car.

" See ya boot girl," he waved heading to John his brother, car. Lor sat in with them. Upon seeing me she waved and mouth the words hi. I waved back smiling at her. Closing my door I started to start up the car but stopped halfway. Something's not right. Glancing out the car window I surveyed the empty parking lot. There was one there. So why am I having this feeling? Shaking my head I started up the car, pressed the petal and steered the car forward.

It refused to move, the tires rubbing against the sideway. Stupid car, I thought angrily as I shoved down on the petal. I smelled burnt rubber. Fine, I pulled my foot from the petal. Crossing my arms I took a moment to calm down. I could feel Dad's temper coming in. They had to buy me a hybrid; they couldn't buy me a stupid regular car. Taking a deep breath I tried again, this time the car moved.

Finally, turning the corner out of the school parking lot I flicked the radio on high.

Opening the front door I threw myself in. At the moment all I wanted was a bath. I suddenly felt dirty. Like some unknown force had soiled my clothes and skin. " Knock, knock I'm coming in." I shouted to the door of my room. The guy was no longer in the bed. The covers where piled up neatly upon my bed.

" Girl," I heard behind me. I spun around suddenly. Coming face to face with him.

" Oh you can walk." I said surprised. " And your…" I glanced down, immediately glancing back up as I did so. " Naked," I said focusing on his face. " Your still na…"

" You reek of hollow, girl," he snapped his green eyes scanning me.

" I reek of what?" He didn't answer. " Ok, I was just about to go take a shower." I realized I was up against a wall him hovering over me. My face burned with embarrassment. Reaching out he touched my face I involuntarily flinched. The cold of his hand burned my face.

" As I thought," he mumbled so low I almost didn't hear him.

" What?" He removed his hand from my face. Turning away from me he continued towards my room. " Wait!" He stopped. " You know if your going to be all weird on me you could at least tell me your name. You know so I know in case I have to turn you in for something." I joked. He turned slightly his green emeralds scanning me thoughtfully. Probably deciding if he should tell me his name or not. " Unless its one of those, if I tell you have to kill you deals." I smiled, showing teeth.

"Ulquiorra," he said coldly.

" Ulquiorra," I tasted the words in my mouth. I liked the way it sounded against my tongue. He didn't move, he seemed stunned, as if this was the first time he had heard his name said.

"Ulquiorra," I said again, " I like it."

" It's a far better name than Molly," he replied.

" Yeah, your rig…" I thought about what he said for a moment. " Wait a minute…hey…" His eyebrows turned up as if amused, then frowned back down.

Did he just joke with me? I thought as I watched him pick up a shirt from the basket I left him. Then in embarrassment shut the door, realizing once again that he was naked.

Flopping down on the couch with my can of opened tuna I stared with opened eyes at the flashing TV. Today was Japanese horror Friday. And the movie I picked out from one of my many Netflick retails was the Grudge. And since Lor couldn't come (business with John of course) and Joel at his moment wasn't even an option, I'm stuck here alone. Well that really alone, but one could say I might as well call it being alone since I haven't heard from him in about two hours.

" Oh my gosh what is that," the TV echoed, the sounds seeming to fill the house. I held my pillow close to my chest, biting my fork. A moment later the TV went dark indicating the movie was over.

" Great," I mumbled flipping over on my stomach. " That's my last movie." Burying my face in my pillow I closed my eyes. Maybe I should check on Ulquiorra he's been too quiet.
