" Marry Christmas," Lor greeted as she barged right into my house.

" Its October Lor," I corrected as John came in second as cap over his shaved head. Sitting down the bags of food she smiled at me.

" Well its Christmas for us because we have good news," John cheered.

" And what would that be?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

" Your looking at it," John cheered.

" Lor's your good news," I said. " You know John that's pretty weak even for you." Lor held her head in frustration.

" I'm pregnant," she said blandly. I felt my eyes widen. That was surprising to hear. Even through I should have already figured it out, with the piles of baby books that sat in John's car over the past few weeks. And the fact that John kept asking me appropriate baby names. But I just took that as John being stupid.

" A-are you sure?" I asked. " Are you sure its not just…"

" She's positive, we just got back from the doctors its official."

" Do you know what its going to be?"

" They said they aren't sure yet but in a couple of weeks we will have an idea," John answered yet again. I smiled.

" That's great, I'm happy for the two of you. So when's the wedding?"

" That's the other thing," John noted, " we aren't going to have a wedding. Just signing the papers."

" Oh," I sighed.

" Wait Molly," Lor said the patients lacking in her voice, " there's more."

" More?" I sighed. " What else more can there be?"

" We are moving," John said.

" Moving," I sighed suddenly feeling that familiar ache in my gut. Biting my lips I instinctually looked away. " Awesome," I cheered. " Where too?"

" Like three hours away from here. John's uncle is allowing us to move into his old two bedroom one bath home. And despite the fact that its his old home it's a really nice place," Lor continued. I smiled. They seemed happy, joyous actually as they told me how the house looked and the yard. And how they had just enough space to get that dog John always wanted. And I laughed when they laughed and asked questions when they were needed.

And once it was time for them to go I politely escorted them out, all he while holding back the stinging tears of loneliness.

Filing into the room Joel immediately positioned himself in the to the far corner of the room, as he waited his turn to step forth.

" And the Arrancar's?" Questioned the leader of the soul society his voice course.

Closing her eyes Rin folded both her hands together. " They have been eliminated Both of them." She lied. Joel couldn't help up be surprised. Rin of all people lying to the authority himself? Joel had expected him to know the whole story by now, and he was more than ready to try and convince them that one of the arrancars weren't dangerous. But it seemed like Rin had a plan all her own.

" LT, can you confirm this?" Joel was asked next. Looking from Rin to the screen

He nodded, " yes sir. It is indeed how she reported it to me."

" Very well," we may proceed with opening the gateway," he commanded.

" Opening the gateway? What for?" Stated Joel as the gates leading from the Soul Society opened behind him. The screen in front of him flicked black. Turning around swiftly Joel came face to face with lieutenant Renji Abrai and Rukia Kuchchi.

" Lieutenant," Bowed Rin. Joel stayed where he was.

" Oh I see what happened," Joel replied shrugging his shoulders. " The old man doesn't trust me so he sends you two to."

" What do you mean by that?" Rukia yelled pointing at Joel. " If you didn't find a way to strew everything up on your first year in command we wouldn't be here right now."

" Yeah whatever. I told that old geezer I had everything under control," Joel replied folding his arms. Sighing heavily Renji turned his attention to Rin who was sitting quietly in the corner, as Rukia began shouting.

" Ok talk," he said out loud his voice at the peak of authority. Both Rukia and Joel became quiet. " There something about his whole situation you're not telling us."

" Yes that is true," Joel replied stepping forward. " But before I tell you, you have to listen to my reason for doing so."

Nighttime already, I thought as I sat up gently from the bed. Blinking a couple of times I surveyed my dark room. All was as I left it before I laid down to take a nap. Guiding my eyes to the front of my bed I noticed Ulquiorra sitting with is head against the bedpost and his eyes closed. He's asleep, I observed, he's so handsome, and peaceful looking sitting there. Maybe I should, grabbing my cover I started to pull it towards him when his eyes snapped open.

" What are you doing girl?" He demanded.

" Well um you were sleeping so I thought I should cover you up…"

" I do not require sleep," he snapped standing up from the bed. I dropped the cover from my hands.

" Well excuse me for trying to be nice," I snapped back, " it just seemed to me like you were sleeping the way your eyes were closed and your head was leaned against the bed post." I raved as I headed towards the bathroom to grab my toothbrush.

" Does it occur to you," Ulquiorra began, "that you often shed tears in your sleep?" He asked at the same time I began to squirt toothpaste on my brush. I stopped where I was.

" I…"

" What reasons have you to cry like that? What saddens you?" He asked as he headed towards me. Putting down my toothbrush I glanced in his direction. I could feel the familiar sting of tears as they rolled from my eyes. Closing my eyes I lifted my hands to wipe them away. Suddenly not wanting Ulquiorra to see me shedding tears.

I felt his hand wrap securely around my wrist removing my hands from my face.

" Ulqui-" I stuttered as his free hand slowly braced the side of my face. His touch was cold, and burned my cheeks. But I ignored it was I sercame to the demanding look in his eyes.

" Answer me," he demanded. I shook my head.

" I don't know, I guess I'm afraid." I said looking down. Afraid of being alone." I admitted. " Afraid of waking up and once again seeing that there is no one there."

" I see," Ulquiorra said dropping his hands. I heard myself gasp. " Do you fear that I will somehow find a way to leave you?" He asked his voice icy and aloof. I didn't answer, I didn't want him to know that I partially was afraid of that. Turning away from me he headed to the window. Reaching out I grabbed the sleeve of his shirt. He stopped abruptly.

" I'm sorry if I upset you," I stated. " Its just that…I…"

" No more has to be said girl," he responded.

" Ulquiorra I…" I started to say tightening my grip on his shirt.

" Molly!"

" Yes gram?"

" Can you please come and make me some herbal tea."

" Yes ma'am," I said. " Looks like Grams back from bingo," I sighed as I headed towards my door. Stopping halfway when I noticed Ulquiorra standing in the middle of the floor. " You can come too, I'll just tell her your visiting or something."

" Touch down!" Gram yelled as she jumped from the couch spilling popcorn across Ulquiorra's lap as she did so. " You know," she replied turning to Ulquiorra, " You're a nice young fellow. Kinda creepy looking and a little quiet but your better than those other kids Molly brings in here. With their questionable fashions and annoying matter of speech." She announced as I sat her tray of food in front of her. Looking up in the direction of where Ulquiorra was sitting I noticed he was looking at me.

Adverting my eyes quickly I tried my best to eliminate the blush that cheeped up on my face. " Don't forget the tea," Gram warned. " Remember what I told you…if you.."

" If you leave the roots in the tea too long the tea will be too bitter. I know I know," I said as I headed back towards the kitchen. In the same instant the doorbell rang. Sighing heavily sat down the tray and walked towards the door. Swinging it open roughly a petite Asian girl automaticually greeted me about my age with blue eyes and black hair that stuck awkwardly out from her head. She stared at me for what seemed like minutes her eyes wide before finally opening her mouth.

"Konichiwa," she greeted in Japanese. " Rukia Kutchi," she said also adding a additional sentence in Japanese that I could not understand. Then smiling she added another sentence and then another all in Japanese. Staring at her in wonder I figured she thought I understood what she was saying. Then she grabbed my hand and grinning she continued to talk while I stared at her in confusion.

" Rukia you idiot. Did you forget his is America. They don't speak Japanese here," someone said behind me. Turning I suddenly came face to face with a Japanese guy about my age with crimson red hair and tattoos that that sketched up his forehead and down his neck. Looking up I almost gasped I didn't even feel him come up behind me.

" What the hell," the black hair girl yelled. " Why didn't you tell me sooner. I just told my whole speech. And I don't want to got back over it again."

" Well, if you weren't such a idiot you would know that she probably didn't speak Japanese." The guy with crimson red hair yelled back. Then they began to argue each saying things in different languages I couldn't quite understand. Pressing my hands behind my head I started to back up towards my door when I felt the black hair girls tiny hand grab my wrist. I felt my wrist tingle then that same weird energy flow from her body. Could she be a…

" You know," the girl started to say, " You look just like someone I know. Identical almost." She smiled, and then took both my hands in hers. " I know that's weird isn't it?"

" No not really," I commented smiling warmly. We stood like that for a few moments before she grasped loudly. I felt myself react instantly.

" Oh I almost forgot, my name is Rukia, and this is my partner Renji." I waved in his direction. He merely huffed and folded both arms. " And your probably wondering what we are doing at your house at this time of night." I nodded. She got at least that much right. " Well we'll new foreign exchange students. And Joel told us so much about you that we just had to meet you," she bowed. I moved back involuntary. " Its so nice to finally meet you Molly."

" Its nice to meet you too," I said blushing. She smiled.

" Well with that said I guess we will be on our way," Rukia said turning and walking down the path with the red headed boy. Shutting the door I shook my head violently, friends of Joel. Does that mean she's a Soul Reaper, I thought as I pressed my back against the door. And if so are they after Ulquiorra?

Even so I couldn't help feeling as if I knew both of them from somewhere. Like in a past life or something. Faded memories that had not yet been erased but stood faded and blurred in my mind. Finally revealed upon meeting them again. No its just your head playing tricks on you again. I thought as I made my way back towards the kitchen my gaze locked on the ground the whole time.

Taking another step I ran straight into Ulquiorra, (which was like running into a brick wall) and sprarled backwards towards the ground. I sat where I was unmoving as Ulquiorra looked down on me. The tea pots an cup in his hands. Sitting them down the counter he extended a white hand to me. I took it willingly, marveling at the feeling of my hand molding within his. I won't let them hurt him. I thought. I just won't…

" Girl I have told you once sleep for me is not necessary."

Molly continued her pursuit towards Ulquiorra holding up her cover. " Oh come on. You sit here every night watching me while I sleep. And your telling me you didn't once sleep while watching me" He shook his head. Poking her finger into his chest she sighed. " You know, you can be really difficult when you want to be," she said leaning off the side of the bed so that now her face was inches from his.

Stupid girl…He thought as he let his gaze sweep quickly over her face. " I know," he mumbled replying to her last remark.

" You know if you change your mind there's a free spot," she said throwing herself under the covers and laying down. Sighing he directed himself to the window beside her bed. Repelling every bone in his body that was telling him to accept her offer.

She's doing it again, he thought as tears rushed down Molly's face again. Gripping the pillow she was hugging she continued to cry.

" I guess I'm afraid of being alone," The words rang through his mind. Alone. Is that truly what she fears? She believes she is alone and yet she has many by her side…

Her grip yet again tightened against the pillow. And the need rang through him again that feeling he couldn't describe. He wanted to comfort her, perhaps hold her like he sensed she wanted him too. Perhaps I could…he began at the same time she stirred.

" D-don't," she groaned. " D-don't…lea…" turning around she released her grip on the pillow. Walking towards the sleeping girl he stared at her aloofly for what could have been hours before removing his gaze and returning to the postion at which he was.

Driving into my normal parking space at the parking lot in front of school I unlocked the doors for Ulquiorra to step out before getting out my self. He was by my side before I could blink. Moments later John's pick up appeared beside and me and Joel jumped from the truck.

" J-Joel," I gasped. He was topless his torso muscular and tanned, the dark angel of on his stomach seeming all the more visible from my distance. As well as the many cuts and bruises from previous battles.

" Give me the damn shirt," he yelled through the window at Lor. She stuck out her tongue.

" I told you already the fair for riding in the back of the truck was your shirt. Which I should make you walk around school all day without, but since I'm a nice pregnant lady I'm going to give it too you free of charge." Reaching out the window she handed him back his shirt. He snatched it roughly. " Nice doing business with you dork," she replied as she drove off.

I took my slow time approaching Joel as he pulled back on his shirt. Upon seeing me he waved

" What happened back there" I asked as I came within range of him. He shrugged.

" Hormonal pregnant lady who just likes seeing me without a shirt," he chuckled rubbing it off as it were nothing. His eyes flashed to who stood behind me. And I was suddenly happy that I was standing as a wall between the two of them. The glare they gaze each other was enough to melt titanium.

" Oh come on your two. Can't we get through to day without any fighting," I said pressing my palms against both of their chest. " Without any thing remotely bad happening," I added going from switching my gaze from one to the other to looking completely at the ground below their feet.

Nether one answered. And as if planned they both released themselves from my grip and started towards the school. Stopping at the same time only when they noticed that I wasn't following them but staring as they both walked ahead.

They're like alter egos each of each other…Covering my mouth I stifled a giggle. Both their eyebrows rose. Joel, Ulquiorra…Running ahead I ignored the riding up of my shirt as I grabbed both their wrist and pulled them forward. Gaining no resistance as I did so.

Waltzing right up to the front doors of the school I stopped upon seeing Rin. Sitting quietly on the steps a book on her lap. " Hello Molly, Joel…Ulquiorra," she greeted without so much as peeking from the pages of the book.

" Hello Rin," I said. She looked up from the book at me. Her eyes centered on my face.

" I see you are better," she replied a bit of actual feeling in her voice this time. I smiled generously at her. Blushing she turned her attention back to her book. " There was a teacher, in there looking for you," she said.

" A teacher looking for me? That's weird."

" She said she needed you right away," Rin replied. I started up the steps expecting Ulquiorra to follow me. He didn't flinch. Shrugging my shoulders I continued up the stairs. Stopping suddenly when the doors opened and a blonde headed woman stepped forth.

" Hi," she greeted loudly pushing her face towards mine. " If you don't mind dear I'm going borrow you for just a sec ok," she didn't await my answer as she wrapped both arms around my body and pressed me securely into her chest.

" I sense that you do not want a fight," Ulquiorra replied as four Soul Reapers surrounded him. " So what purpose do you have for luring me here?"

The petitie raven-haired female stepped forth, " we are here to discuss the conditions of the bond. And offer a way in which to break it," she said.

" I am listening," Ulquiorra replied.

" This is so not fair, I wanted to hear what was going on. Why did you have to volunteer us to this?" The blonde hair woman whined, " This wasn't even that hard. She didn't even put up a decent fight." She tugged me harder forcing me deeper into her breast.

" Oh stop complaining," the voice beside her said. " And you're smuggling her."

" Oh," she exclaimed letting me go immediately. I fell to the roof floor holding my throat for well-deserved air. " At least she's cute," the lady said.

" I don't see how that should matter."

" Wow, your just a kid," I mumbled out loud, As I took in the sight of the boy probably about eleven or twelve standing on the side of the roof. His hair bleach white spiked out from his head, matching his turquoise blue eyes that now glared down at me.

" As a captain of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads I ask you to reframe from calling me a…" Reaching over to his face I pulled his cheek. Not even realizing what or why I was doing it.

" A kid as cute as you is a captain," I replied. He blushed. The lady behind me laughed.

" See even she thinks your adorable."

He pulled away, " I'm going to ask you reframe from touching me like that," he replied coldly his cheeks reddening.

" Ulquiorra," I mumbled, " are they trying to hurt him?" Glancing between the both of them I awaited a answer. " That's why you brought me here isn't it. You think I don't know what's going on. You guys want to hurt Ulquiorra and can't do it while I'm around. That's why you guys want to break the bond."

Tears…

Why am I crying…?

A hand came out and touched my shoulder. I turned leaning in front of me was the blonde woman. " Its nothing like that," her voice was calm, compassionate. " For all the Soul Society knows Ulquiorra is dead. Our reason for being here is more to protect than harm."

" You're protecting me?"

She nodded. " There are more Arrancars out there. Ones that are actually bad. And we believe they may be attracted to you for some reason," she started. The boy ahead her cleared her throat. Probably signaling that she has said too much. " So wipe off those tears, they are so not helping your cuteness."

Running the sleeve of my black shirt over my face I erase any tears that may have remained.

"Rangiku don't forget the bracelet" the boy warned.

She formed a small "o" with her mouth and gasped. " Oh yes I almost forgot," reaching into her breast she pulled out a small silver bracelet. Then grabbing my wrist she clipped in on.

" Just a little present from us," she smiled.

" Oh come on let me keep her for a day," Rangiku pleaded as she forced my face into her chest. " She's just so adorable."

" Rangiku," Hitsugaya exclaimed annoyingly.

" Oh come on all of you know it," she said grabbing my face and forcing me forward. Her hands puffing in my cheeks giving me a stuffed expression, " Don't even try to act like you guys don't. Like you Renji," she said pointing accursedly at Renji.

" Who me?" he asked surprised.

" Yes you, I saw you sneaking glances at her. And you Joel your no better you can't even look at her without drooling." Crushing me back against her chest she sighed loudly. " Even Rin agrees with me. Don't you Rin?"

Rin who was buried in a novel merely blushed and nodded. Joining the speechless blushing males.

" That's enough Rangiku," Hitsugaya replied placing a hand on his head.

Pouting she released me slowly, " I don't know why your acting all stuffy. You're the one who couldn't stop blushing after she smiled at you."

Hitsugaya's face turned scarlet.

" Either way," Rukia cut in, " the business has been handled and you guys have no real reason to stay in these forms."

Blinking I watched as one by one they transformed, their black robes disappearing and being replaced by all their own. Joel in his black skull shirt and black Trips, and Rin wearing another Lolita dress held together by various ribbons. Rukia sported a long yellow sundress that made her look younger than she probably was. Both Renji and Hitsugaya wore faded jeans and different colored Eagle shirts. Rangiku who was the last to transform wore a shirt that ruffed at its end, and a shirt that seemed too small to conceal her breast.

I took a moment to survey the weird group of people. Suddenly noticing that Ulquiorra was missing. " Ulquorr…" I started to say before my eyes caught sight of the bracelet on my wrist. Suddenly Hitsugaya's words came back to me…

" This bracelet will allow for a longer distance between you and Ulquiorra. In turn severing but not completely breaking the bond. But this is only temporary so prolonged lacked of contact may not farewell."

Lifting my wrist I stared intently at the bracelet feeling the others eyes on me as I did so. So now Ulquiorra doesn't have to be side by side with me…all the time. I should be happy…happy.

" Molly," Rukia began. Spinning on my heel I faced her. Joel was standing beside her.

" I guess I have to show you guys around now huh?" I asked.

" Yep," Rukia nodded.

" Ok," I said, " lets go," walking forward we opened the doors to my school.

Yay done...I'm so excited...*smiles* Can't wait to write the next....review...they turn me on.....*blush* i mean they encourge me...*wipes sweat* See yah next chapter!!!!
