Recovery

" Is this yours?" Ulquiorra asked as he threw the bleeding arrancar to the floor. She coughed and spat blood curling down the side of her mouth.

" Damn Ulquiorra what the hell did you do to her?" Grimmjow grinned.

" She will live. But I can promise you one thing. If she attacks me again I will not hold back," cautioned his tone leaving no room for discussion.

" What made you hold back this time?" Inquired Grimmjow.

Ulquiorra did not answer. He had no answer. Grimmjow chuckled. " Ok, Ok, I get it. Did you hear that Lolli? Stay the fuck away from his woman. Or your dead meat." Turning away from both of them Grimmjow proceeded back to his room. Only to stop halfway. Turning he grinned, " Why the fuck are you still here. Get the fuck out if you don't plan on staying."

Giving Grimmjow a quick warning glance Ulquiorra turned on his heel and proceeded towards the exit, not bothering to look back.

" I feel like I've been hit by a truck?" I mumbled as I opened both eyes. " Am I?" Sitting up quickly I pulled my shirt up to examine my back and shoulders. Bear as if I never got hur…

" Errr…." Came a voice from across my bed. Looking up from what I was doing I turned my eyes to where the sound was coming from. Sitting on the edge of the bed, stuffed and beady eyed was a stuffed lion. It stared at me I stared back. " Err…I think I'm in love!" It jumped from where it was standing towards me its small arms outstretched.

" What the hell!" I yelled throwing my hand up. Instantly a purple orb surrounded him. He floated aimlessly. " You can talk. You're a teddy bear and you can talk."

" Not a teddy bear but a lion. Much more manly. But if you want to call me a teddy bear, then anything for you baby." His small eyes gleamed. " Now let me out of his ball so I can enjoy you…" Placing all four of his arms and legs against the orb he struggled to push himself free.

" Ok so now I'm officially weirded out."

" Let me out of here!"

" Where am I?" I demanded.

" Urhara's shop duh," the lion replied.

" B-but how? I thought that only my soul could be…"

The door to the room I was sitting in slid open. " In most causes that would have too be done. But this time I used a technique that allowed us to transfer your body without any problems. Good thing you were unconious it wouldn't have work if you were fully awake."

" Oh. Well explain the talking lion. Cause I'm confused."

" You mean Kon."

" That's his name?"

" Damn right it is sister," he snapped.

" He's harmless," Urahara replied. Dropping my hands I allowed the orb to fall from his body. He landed with a plop on my lap.

" Yes, yes, those glamorous mounds, there like treasures from above." Leaping forward he attached himself to the front of my chest.

" Unless you're a girl with…well," folding the fan in front of his face Urahara turned away.

" Glamorous mounds. I love you I love you." Kon whispered in my chest. Glaring in disgust I grabbed him up quickly.

" You little…" Throwing him across the room he hit the wall with a squeak. " Perverted little talking lion thing."

" Oh don't be so hard on Kon," Joel replied as he walked in the room. " He can't help if he has a soft spot for girls like you."

" Which is supposed to mean?"

" Nothing," Joel replied as he bent down to pick up Kon. " You ok now?"

" Yeah I guess," I replied touching my shoulder blades. " How long was I out?"

" Three days," Urahara replied.

" Are you serious?"

" Yes. But we were to blame for half of that. In order for the healing process to completely work we had to keep you in a state of uncouniousness. So don't worry."

" As long as it was you guys doing?" I said.

Joel laughed, "You talk a lot in your sleep."

" What did I say? Oh please say I didn't say anything embarrassing."

" No. It was mostly just people's names." He looked down for a moment. The flipping Kon over in his palm he sighed. " You should really let Rin know your ok. She refuses to come in here until she hears that you are."

" Didn't know she cared, " I declared.

" Well she does," Joel replied.

" Should I yell for her or…"

" No need, she's right by the door."

" Rin…"

" Yes Molly." Stepping from beside the door Rin walked in slowly. Her face down.

" I'm ok Rin," I Beamed.

" I see," she replied aloofly. " I'm happy." She took a couple more steps forward, until she was two feet away from my bed. Reaching out I leaned over and took her hand.

" Ri…"

Leaping forward she wrapped both her arms around my neck and trapped me in a tight embrace. " I'm happy too Rin. Thank you for caring." I said as I felt her tears run onto my neck.

I know you want me…I can feel it. It doesn't take genius to know that much. Could she really see it. His desire. His sudden need for her. Or was that just her slur of the moment. The lust of her intoxicated sanity. Reaching out he involuntarily touched a hand to his lips. They still tingled from the night before.

Even knowing she was intoxicated and unlike herself, he still yearned for her. His whole body was pinned against his own iron strong will. If he hadn't grabbed her, hadn't forced her too move away, he would have attacked her. Attacked her with all his bottled up passion and desire. Just as she attacked him, this he knew for a fact.

Pushing back his hair he let his fingers pause for a moment over small piece of his mask that had began to form. So my powers are returning, he thought. How much longer until my sword regenerates like the rest of my body? Slowly lowering his arm his eyes caught sight of the bracelet at his wrist. As long as I'm attached too this girl they may never fully return.

"The only way to break the bond is too kill the girl," Surely the thought of killing the girl did occur in his mind. For it was a simple task. He could kill her far easier than she could kill him. And after tonight it was very obvious that she had little regard for her life, through others around her held it in high concerns.

" I'm taking her back to Yurichi and away from here. She'll be healed there."

" And away from me."

" Yes, which is the best thing now."

He could still remember the conversation between himself and Joel. Still hear the hatred in Joel's voice as he spoke.

" I just don't understand. Your name was the first to come out her mouth. You a hollow. I don't see how she could…"

Ulquiorra had no answer, all he could do was stand and stare as Joel growled in frustration then turned back to where Molly was. His determined and willful eyes now distant and bewildered.

" That Joel," he replied. " I do not know." Which was the truth he did not know. Hadn't the slightest idea, how she could possibly love a hollow.

" Food time," Rukia announced as she barged in my room. Joel, Rin and I were sitting on the bed facing each other as we took turns playing a game of checkers. Kon sat on my lap his soft head pressed against my chest. " We made Muso."

" You mean I made Muso," Renji complained appearing behind her. His usual smirk on his face. His hair was no longer up but flowed over his chest in two long braids. He wore a apron that had written in sloppy letters on its front, " Kiss me I'm a red head."

" You, me what's the difference. Either way we have food." Sitting the tray in

front of me Rukia grinned.

" Thanks Ruki…" I began. She stopped me.

" Wait that's not it. Ta-da." She pointed to the door. A moment later Rangiku walked in wearing nurse's outfit. Beside her Hitsugaya stood a soggy seven-layer cake in his hands.

" Ah…Joel," I said. He shrugged.

" It's a get well soon cake. Isn't it great?" Rukia cheered. I smile wearily.

" I made it," Rangiku cheered snatching the cake from Hitsugaya. " Its beautiful just likes you."

I stared at the soggy whipped cake, and then cracked a weak smile. " Thanks Rangiku. Thanks everyone you don't know what his means to me?"

" Now what are waiting for lets dig in," Rangiku cheered.

" Calm down Rangiku before you drop the cake," Hitsugaya snapped back.

" Hey don't eat it all," Renji complained. " Rangiku!"

Amongst the confusion I turned to Joel. " I didn't know you had such interesting friends when I met you."

" Neither did I," I said. " I should have introduced you earlier."

" Yeah you should have. I like these guys."

" Their just loveable," Joel commented.

Turning to where they were surrounding the soggy cake I yelled, " Aren't you guys going to share with me. Yes me the chick in the bed that you originally made the cake for." A smile spread across each one of their faces. They started towards me plates in hand when the door burst open and Urahara walked in, a curvy woman with black hair and a dark skin beside him, wearing partially nothing.

" You guys are having a party and you didn't invite me! That just won't do." He raved waving his fan in front of his face.

" That's because you're strange," Rukia commented shoving her cake in her mouth.

" Well that's mean."

I surveyed the woman standing beside Urahara. Her arms were crossed her face serious. She looked somewhat familiar. " Hi, if you don't mind me asking. Who are you?"

" You don't recognize me?" She said smirking. " That hurts Molly."

Urahara placed the fan over his face again. " Think really hard. Who could she possibly be?"

" Your girlfriend," I answered out the top of my head. He nearly fell over. " Oh, no…she's far from that."

I looked her up and down again, she's so familiar I just don't know who…" Yunachi," I replied. Before I could react or even see, she had me in her arms.

" I didn't think you were ever get it ," She said.

" I thought you were a cat?"

" That's my other form," she said letting me go.

" I thought you were a boy."

" Yes, well most people do. I'm surprised you didn't flip out like most who figure out that I'm not really a cat nor a man."

I smiled. Seeing the things I've seen. How could I be? Talking teddy bears. Sprit creatures called Soul Reapers. Hollows. Not much could surprise at girl after all this. " So you can like change whenever you want or is it a every full moon thing?"

" Whenever I please I could do it right now if you…"

" NO!" Everyone yelled in unison.

" Why not?" I asked.

Urahara laughed, " Lets just say Yunachi lacks a sense of modesty when it comes to changing."

Yoruichi laughed at this. " Maybe some other time then. When it's just the two of you. Those sissies in here don't seem to be able to handle a body like mine. Now that that is settled. How are you feeling?"

I ran my hands over my shoulder blades. " Better than I have in a long time," I replied. I heard Joel sigh in relief. " What was her motive in attacking me anyway?"

" According to what she said when she was attacking Ulquiorra she planned on taking you back to Grimmjow."

" Man I'm jealous how does Molly get so many admirers?" Rangiku whined as she licked her spoon clean. Hitsugaya huffed.

" I don't know," I replied. " When I was under her control she seemed more willing to kill me then to take me back."

" What happened to her body?"

" Ulquiorra took her," Joel answered. " Weather he killed her or not I'm not sure."

I thought about the vision of Ulquiorra with the girl pinned against the wall. And wondered if he really did kill her. Or did he mainly just take her back to Grimmjow?

" Either way," Joel replied brushing his hand across my slightly bruised cheek. I blushed from his warm touch. " She's safe and sound now."

" When will I be able to go home?" I asked.

" Whenever I take you back," Joel replied. " Besides its better that you stay here away from your house for a while. Don't worry your grandmother knows your going to be a away for little while and…"

" Joel," I started. The room suddenly went quiet.

" Molly don't argue," he replied cutting me off smoothly. " It's already done. Your not going anywhere near that house without me there. It's already decided."

I started to open my mouth and tell him that I wasn't under his control that I could decide when I went home. But I shut it instantly; the look he was giving me wasn't giving me any clearance to say anything. " Oh ok," I mumbled. He nodded. Obviously satisfied that his point had gotten through. Rolling my eyes I turned swiftly away from him. " Well smart guy what about school? Huh? Fucking retard."

" That's taken care of too," he said coolly. I rolled my eyes again. Then balling my hands into fist I resisted the urge to punch him squarely in the jaw.

" Just shut the hell up Joel," I snapped turning away from him. He smiled goofily.

" Are you scared of me girl?" He asked reaching out leisurely.

" I'm not scared." I called back the tears falling gradually from my eyes.

" I see," he said wryly. Reaching out hesitantly I grabbed for his fading hand. Touching it momentarily before it faded into ashes his body soon to follow.

Sitting up in the bed I wiped the old sweat from my forehead. Another dream…after all this time? " I can't fucking do this anymore," I said as I pulled myself up on my elbows. After four days straight of sleeping, and being healed, sleeping and being healed I was starting to lose my mind. I had to get out of this room.

Throwing my legs over the bed I stood. Legs a bit wobbly as I mustured up enough strength to stand and head towards the door. Opening it slightly I peeked out suddenly. The coast was clear, no one was roaming the halls as usual guarding me from leaving. " Almost there I just have to…"

" Where are you going?"

I jumped. Standing behind me was the little girl from before. Her orange hair set in two ponytails, her eyes gray.

" No where. I mean too the restroom. Yeah I need to take another shower."

" But you already took one shower," she commented.

" I want to take a another one."

" Urahara told me too keep you away from the…"

" Listen," I mumbled. " All I want is too get a bit of fresh air. That is all I ask. Can I at least do that?"

She stared at me blankly. Sighing heavily I decided to push past her. She moved slightly but not enough to let me through.

" What the hell? How old are you?"

" Six," she said smiling.

I smiled sourly back, " That's good, great actually now move please."

" I'm sorry but I can't…" balling my hands into a fist I focused all my energy on entrapping her in a orb like I did Kon. Feeling the purple aura rise from my fingers and make their way towards the girl suddenly.

" Nice try," she whispered still smiling. " But Joel warned me you would do that." I felt my eyes widen, the girl was no longer standing in front of me.

" How did you?"

" Now please Molly would you go back too the room. The others aren't here right now and I'm suppose to wat…"

Ducking to the side I made it past her small body just by an inch. Hitting the wood floor with a clank, I took off to where the main room was. Expecting to see Urahara sitting there with his usual fan in hand and smirk. Instead what I saw made my eyes widen and my jaw drop.

An older version of me.

" Orhime," I said without thinking. Her eyes widened as well. Opening her mouth she said something in Japanese something I couldn't quite understand but I knew it was something along the lines of, " How do you know who I am?"

The little girl from before came whirling around the door frame her eyes filled with tears. " Mommy," she whined. I turned too Orhime. Standing she took the girl in her arms.

" Your Orhime, the girl from my dreams. The one that was captured. But your not that young…and Ulquiorra…"

Her eyes jumped at the sound of his name. " You know him?" She asked her accent strong.

Her question was all but lost to me as I shouted back, " You're the one he was in love with. Long for. I see it all the time when I sleep. I can't get it out of my head. Its like I'm you and all that happened, happened too me too and…"

" Ulquiorra is alive," she said. I let my eyes wonder over too the little girl in her arms. Orange spiked hair and gray eyes.

" Yes," I replied.

" When I first saw you days ago I was just as surprised. Then hearing the news from Joel I couldn't believe what I was being told. But sure enough there you were. Even now I can sense his thick and dark spiritual pressure in your veins. A mixture of both my spiritual pressure and his, combined to make one singl…"

" Wait a minute," I said. " What do you mean your spiritual pressure? Mine may be similar to yours but its not completely alike. And it's not yours."

" Molly," Orhime said. " You were created from my spiritual pressure and his mixed to…"

I held my ears and shut my eyes. Even now I could the images of Orhime cutting into my head making it impossible to think. Why is this happening now of all times?

" Did Urahara not explain it to you. Did none of the others?" She said standing up and touching my hands. I pulled away.

" No. Don't touch me." The images continued to swirl. I bit my lip in frustration. Tasting blood. " I'm not you. I'm just not. I refuse to believe that."

" Don't you see? Don't you realize?"

" No!" I shouted lifting my hand against her. I could feel the spritual energy curling from my fingertips into a tight ball around my hand. " Don't touch me. I'm not you ok? I'm not…"

" My heart is with them…our hearts are one…"

I felt her hands brace themselves around mine. Instantly the energy from my hand escaped me. Her arms come around my body pulling me in a tight embrace. " Urahara probably did not want to have to explain this too you when he just found out himself. But its true. I'm not saying that you are I, are the same person. Our experiences in life, and friends make us too completely different people as far as personality go. I'm just telling you how you came too be." She tightened her embrace. I hugged her back. Grateful for the warmth of other's body embraced around mine.

" I'm just so confused right now. " I'm being told that I'm one thing. And that Ulquiorra is another. But none of the pieces seem to line up. I'm just so confused."

" And that is where we come in." Standing in the door way was Urahara. His face was stern.

" Urahara…" I said. " Yoruichi. Where are the others?"

" Down in the training grounds. I asked them to remain there until I can explain the situation too you." Sitting in front of where we were Urahara stared at me for a long while before replying. " As Orhime told you before you are not a normal human being. But a being created when two spiritual pressures of reasonable sizes are morphed together to create one being. And in this case it's the spiritual pressures of Orhime and Ulquiorra." He paused.

I took my chance to open my mouth and speak. " Then why is my spiritual pressure more similar to Orhime's than its is to Ulquiorra?"

" Before you were made. As in before the energies were actually mixed we believe that Ulquiorra in his faded state provide only enough energy to actually form you and not enough to actually dominant the big picture. In turn picturing you in the likeness of Orhime herself."

" But I still have parents. I remember my childhood."

" They are not your birth parents," he replied simply.

" That's impossible…"

" Have you ever once asked them about the conditions of your birth. Or have they talked to you about it?"

" No never. I just assumed that…"

" Then there is your answer," Yoruichi replied. " You were made by Orhime and Ulquiorra. A mix of spiritual pressure so strong that it created a living being. And you served as a beckon for Ulquiorra when he materialized."

" So I'm like the kid of Ulquiorra and Orhime?" I asked.

Urahara smiled, " well yes and no. More like the sister of Orhime."

" So my life with my mother and father and brother, it was all nothing?"

"I wouldn't say that, they are still your family even if they didn't birth you." Urahara replied.

I nodded. Actually thinking about it I realized that what they were saying was true. I never really did fit into the family. George's death and mom and dad's leaving so eagerly proved that fact. I leaned back so I was sitting on my butt.

" Well that was a shocker. Does Ulquiorra know?"

" He does now. We just got done delivering the message too him. As well as the others."

" Great so now everyone is in on my new discovery. Yay." Lifting my self up I eyed the phone sitting on Urahara's counter. It would be so easy to call my adoptive folks right now. Call them and pile my guilt and shame on them. Blame them for my being this way. And tell them they weren't forgiven for not telling me the truth.

" You two are not the same people," Urahara said as if reading my thoughts. " But I guess you already knew that."

I nodded, " Yeah a little."

" Is that all Soul Reaper?" Ulquiorra asked.

" Yes."

" Does this surprise you?" Ulquiorra questioned not bothering to turn around and face Joel. Joel sighed heavily.

" I can't believe that someone as beautiful and willful as Molly could be created with the help of you? I just can't. A hollow. Its just not possible."

" And you are trying to tell me what?"

Joel continued, " Fuck. I can't fucking believe this. This only makes it more complicated. I could have lived without knowing. Lived without having to…I can only imagine how she feels right now. Realizing her parents aren't her real parents. Her brother is not her real brother."

Closing his eyes Ulquiorra imagined the girl sitting on her bed, her knees pulled up to her chest as she silently cried to herself. Those tears like rain, he could feel them now pouring down heavily. And it sent something roaring up his spine. Knowing he once again was the cause of that pain.

" Go to her," Ulquiorra replied.

" What?"

" You heard me Soul Reaper.. You are doing no good standing here balling too me. Your services are needed elsewhere."

" But…"

" I did not ask for you excuses," Ulquiorra replied turning away from Joel. Knowing that only Joel could ease that pain that he unwillingly caused. As much as it made him angry the thought of Joel holding her, watching her cry and comforting her, in ways he could not. He knew it had too be done.

" I'm going to talk to her," Joel said. Everyone nodded in agreement. " I…."

" We understand," Rukia announced. " Do what you have too do."

Nodding Joel headed down the hall. Suddenly being intercepted.

" She is sleeping," the girl with the spiked pigtails, replied as she blocked Joel's path. " She told me too keep things quiet whil…"

" I understand Rikku," Joel replied touching the girl's head. " Its only for a second ok." Not waiting for a reply Joel walked past the girl to where Molly was staying. Her door was cracked. And he could hear her wet sobs and muffled cries.

Opening the door slightly he slid into the darkened room. Sitting on the bed her head cradled in between Rin's shoulder was Molly. Upon entering Rin's face rose, her blackened doll like eyes focused in on the intruder standing at the door. " Shhh…." Rin hushed rubbing Molly's hair gently. Molly continued to sob.

" Rin. Can I have a minute with Molly I need to talk too…"

" No one is supposed to be here," Rin warned tightening her grip around Molly. Joel sighed.

" Rin I…"

" I want to make her stop," Rin whispered, her voice a choked cry. " Make her stop."

" I will Rin," Joel reassured. " I will." Walking to where Molly rested Joel placed a hand on her shoulder. Her breathing shifted for a moment. " Molly."

No reply.

" Molly. It's me Joel the idiot. Remember." No answer. " Listen I told everyone I would stop you from crying. Make you smile again. But you know what I'm not. You should cry. After what you've been through it's only right that you do. Sighing Joel habitably pushed his hand though his hair. " So cry Molly. Cry for all its worth. But just remember when you're done, when all your tears are dried up, we'll here. Me, Rin, everyone, we're right here for you. You don't have to cry alone."

Molly's breathing hitched. " Joel," she choked. Reaching out she pulled herself towards him. Falling forwards she let her head rested against his lap while the rest of her body trailed from Rin's.

Smiling lightly Joel placed his hand gently on Molly's head. " I will sit here as long as I takes."

I want to go on.

Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible.

-Jane Rubietta

How long has it been brother since I last wrote to you? Almost a year I guess. You must think me mad at you for waiting all this time, or angry for you not telling me the truth. But I'm not. Actually I'm relieved. I always knew in my heart that something like that was the case.

I'm happy because I could have been anything, anyone. But I ended up right here. And thinking about everything that has happened I realized that if I wasn't made, I would not have mad all the friends I have now. I remember you once telling me that life was life no matter how you obtained it. And that it was mine alone to control and curve as I pleased. I didn't understand back then. But I do now.

And thinking about it now. I realize that I will not dwell on what happened in the past, but I will move ahead. I will go on. I want to go on.

Molly.

Holding the note at arms length she studied its contents one last time before taking it in between her fingers and tearing it apart into small pieces.

" I hope they reach you brother, where ever you are," she whispered as the wind beat furiously, and the rain poured down scrapping the sky and lifting the tiny pieces of paper from her hands.

She waited until all the piece of paper had drifted steadily into air to be carried off by the fierce wind before turning towards where Joel and Ulquiorra were. " We've waited for the rain this long you guys," she replied outstreaching both her hands to them. " We might as well enjoy it." Water spread down her face, mixing with her tears making it impossible to tell the difference between the two.

Reaching out they both grabbed opposite hands. She smiled at the contact. And for a moment she let the energy that seem to flow through her body be released but only for a moment.

Molly, Both Joel and Ulquiorra thought in unison. They could feel it too. Feel what she was feeling at exactly that moment.

Yay....on to the next chapter!!! See ya then. I cant wait to start writing and figuring out what going to happen next in my Ulquiorra x Molly sega!!!!
