Love Triangle?! Square?
" Stop! Your killing him…" Joel fell against the dirt face first. A hole in the middle of his chest. " Joel!" A black hand shot out towards me. " Come girl," he commanded. I opened my mouth to scream only to find that no sound would come out. Those eyes…those green eyes tinted on the sides with blue…so like…
" Ulquiorra?" I mouthed. The black creature didn't answer.
" Who ever is touching my boob let go," I mumbled. Someone's hand was indeed on my boob but it wasn't anyone's touch I recognized.
" Sweet, sweet mounds…"
I peeked open one eye. Standing on my stomach, their hand leaned forward on my boob was Kon. I immediately grabbed him up and threw him across the room. He hit the wall closest to the door. " You idiot!" I yelled pulling the covers up to my chin. He slid down the wall slowly, leaving a trail of drool on the wall. " Where's Ulquiorra?" I glanced around the room. He was no where to be found.
" I don't know." Kon whined from the floor. I jumped from the bed. The door to my room opened and Ulquiorra came in, walking almost to fast for me to see him. He stopped at my bed.
" You sound distressed girl." He said glancing around the room with just his eyes. His gaze shot to Kon. " If I would have known he would be a pest to you I would have disposed of him when he arrived."
" He just surprised me," I said.
" Evidently he grabbed your boob," he replied glancing over my body. " Where ever that may be."
I felt my face flush. " I meant to say he grabbed my breast."
Ulquiorra raised one eyebrow. " He grabbed you where?"
" My breast." I answered. Before I could speak another word Ulquiorra was across the room. Kon was in between his hand.
" Annoying pest." He said. I jumped up.
" No Ulquiorra don't hurt him…yes he is a pest but…" I started. Ulquiorra looked at me like I had something on my face before dropping Kon. Kon choked then scrabbled over to where I was standing.
" My queen. My glorious queen." He grabbed my ankle.
" Kon? Why are you here?"
He scribbled up my leg to my shoulder. " Joel sent me. He said something about…" he stopped. I glanced over at him waiting for him to finish the sentence. " Oh almost forgot. I'm not supposed to tell you."
" Why not?"
" Because he told me not too." Kon remarked leaning over my shoulder and staring downward, obviously enjoying the view of my breast from the slit at the top of my shirt.
" And you listen to him before you listen too me."
" Bosses orders."
" So Joel is your new master? What about Ichigo."
" That guy's a bore. All he cares about his is precious Orihime and his two little brats. I don't have any fun over there. So I made Joel my new master."
" Is that so…" I commented. Then grabbing him by the arm I pushed him towards Ulquiorra. Who looked at Kon like he was trash he wasn't going to even consider touching again. " I take back what I said, have fun Ulquiorra."
Kon started to shake. " What…don't…"
" Then tell me why Joel sent you. Come on. And hurry before I get Ulquiorra to "dispose" of you." I said adding deep emotion on the word dispose. He started to shake. He looked like he was about to tell me what I wanted to know, but then changed his mind.
" No I promised Joel I wouldn't." He started. I shoved him into Ulquiorra's chest and headed for the door. He screamed. " Ok. Ok." Jumping from Ulquiorra's grasp he scrambled back over to me. " He sent me to check up on you. Until he could get here himself." Kon's arms wrapped around one of my breast.
" Its that all?"
" Uh huh."
" Are you sure?"
" Uh huh."
" I fail to understand him," Ulquiorra said after a moment. His gaze locked on Kon squeezing my breast and mumbling unrecognizable words.
" What Kon? " I lifted the stuffed animal who whined loudly.
" No. But he also leaves me quite confused…I mean the boy Joel."
" He's just really protective," I said. " He always has been." I tightened my grip around Kon, who had stopped struggling. I could feel his beady gaze on me.
" Doe he not trust me to protect you thoroughly enough?" Ulquiorra asked. I shook my head.
" No that's not it…he just…" I stuttered. A moment later I felt Ulquiorra's fingertips against my skin.
" Do you not trust me girl?"
I felt my face blaze, " I trust you. If I didn't, you wouldn't be here right now."
Ulquiorra removed his fingertips from the side of my face. " That boy refuses to lose you to me. He told me so himself," Ulquiorra's gaze was locked on the fingertips that had just touched my face. " But what he fails to realize is that the same goes for me. His gaze shifted to where I was standing. " I do not enjoy losing." Be said sharply.
A shutter passed through me before I could stop it.. The way he said it, it frightened me. " I…I…" He held up his hand.
" No response is needed, girl," he replied. " I will leave now, so you can get dressed." Taking the necessary strides to get to where I was standing he reached over as if to touch me. I closed my eyes and waited. The touch never came. Instead I felt the gentle tug as Kon was being pried from my fingertips.
" Whatcha doin? I wanted to stay…" Kon's voice became muffled. I peeked open one eye to catch the door just before it shut.
I do not enjoy losing…I wonder what he meant by that?
" Do you always spoil the fun?" Kon shouted squirming in Ulquiorra's grasp.
" Quiet." Ulquiorra threatened. There was silence between the two. Kon couldn't help glancing up at the white formal Espada. He seemed so much different than how he pictured him to be. He was still cold and aloof, and his composure was still frightening. But something, something he couldn't quite put his finger on was weird coming from him.
" Molly really is amazing," Kon blurted out. Pressing his small fluffy hands against his mouth he shut himself up.
" Yes," Ulquiorra replied. " She is."
Surprised that Ulquiorra actually spoke to him Kon squirmed again. " I see why Joel loves her." Kon replied.
He loves her…well of course the boy does. He is capable of such things. But still…
The door to the girl's room opened and she stepped out wearing a simple black shirt and jeans. Her hair was pulled back away from her face and her earrings were still gone so was her usual makeup. But even without her makeup and body jewelry she was still beautiful to Ulquiorra. The urge to reach out and simply touch her stirred within him. But he ignored it.
" I didn't feel like putting all that on today," she replied pulling back a strand of hair from her face. " Those earrings are really hard to put on." She said as if reading his mind.
" Wow she's beautiful," Kon drooled. Ulquiorra dropped the stuff animal. He scrambled over to Molly.
" Mom and Dad are still asleep. That's weird they're usual up by now." She mumbled. Kon appeared on her shoulder.
" Well we should go before they wake up. Parents can be annoying." Kon said. Molly nodded.
" Ok," she turned to Ulquiorra. " So are we riding in my car or…"
Ulquiorra turned suddenly. The familiar spiritual pressure of someone seemed to be bouncing off the walls. " Or what?" It was Joel's voice. Ulquiorra had to stop himself from rolling his eyes.
" Joel you idiot!" Molly yell jumping towards him. He outstretched his arms and caught her before she could strike him. They fell against the carpeted floor Molly sitting on his lap pounding him playfully with her fist. " You sent Kon here to protect me. What were you thinking?"
"I had important stuff to do."
" Oh so you send a stuffed animal to do your job," she remarked back. He grinned then grabbed her wrist. She hesitated.
" Hey it was last minute I couldn't get anyone else. Can you blame me for wanting to protect my little Boot Girl?"
" Bite me," she growled.
" Ok but you asked for it Molly." Before she could reply back his mouth came up to her slender neck and lightly pieced the skin just above her collar bone. Ulquiorra felt something roar up his spine but he reminded just as aloof and composed as he was before.
" Joel you butt!" Molly yelled smiling. Joel grinned. Ulquiorra let his eyes drift to her neck, the spot the boy bit was already starting to redden. How dare he act as if he owned her…Seeing the mark on her satin skin annoyed Ulquiorra more than he knew it should.
" I will not lose to you…"
Her hands went to her neck. " Can't believe you really did that," she complained. He shrugged as if it were nothing.
" You told me too."
She was on her feet then, smiling.
" You didn't tell me you were going to school yesterday," Joel replied. " I wanted to drive you."
" I have a car," she said.
" I have some things I wanted to talk to you about." Joel sounded serious this time. And his gaze went to Ulquiorra quickly. Ulquiorra pretended not to notice the boy's glare.
" Ok well let me get my bag and we can go." she turned to Ulquiorra. Her mahogany's inquiring. " Are you coming today?"
" You seem quite taken care of," he snapped without thinking.
" What do you mean by…?" She started but Joel grabbed her arm. Ulquiorra turned away so he couldn't see her face. Right now the sight of her, with Joel was torture. He just wanted them both to leave so he could be alone yet again. " Ok." She said following Joel. " Well bye then."
He didn't answer her. He was already heading the opposite way. The stuffed doll dragging hurryingly behind him.
" I could have drove myself," I complained picking at a loose string on Joel's seat. " John must have been in a good mood, if he finished his piece of junk so quickly."
Joel smiled. " And who said babies weren't a good thing. I got my babe back," he hit the dashboard. I rolled my eyes. I would never understand dudes.
" What did you want to talk to me about Joel?"
The truck slowed down to a reasonable thirty. Joel's face turned serious. " How much time do we have until school starts."
" About forty minutes. Why?"
" Cause I have to do this," Joel swerved off the road onto the grass. Then placing the car into neutral he took a deep breath. I sat in silence as well, staring at him my eyes wide as saucers.
" Joel?"
" Just be quiet for a minute Molly," he snapped. He seemed to be fighting some internal war. I could see on his face that he was deciding what to do next. Frustration laced his features. I thought about opening the car door and jumping out to give him a moment, but that wouldn't do anything. After a moment he spoke. " I don't like…" he took another deep breath. " I don't like the fact that things happen and you don't tell me."
" What are you talking about Joel?" I demanded.
" I heard about you and Grimmjow. You don't know…you don't know…how much will power it took for me not too…"
" So what about it?" I said. He glared at me.
" Molly."
" Grimmjow's an idiot. I don't even know why…it doesn't matter. What happened doesn't matter…Grimmjow means nothing to me. That meant nothing to me. And it shouldn't mean anything to you." I took a moment to calm my beating heart. " Grimmjow's the last person your going to have to worry about losing me too." I added. Regretting the words as soon as they left my lips.
Joel looked shocked at first, like someone had just struck him the heart with a sword. Then the pain kicked in, and I instantly bit my lip as if it would take back the words spoken. " Joel I'm…"
" No your right, your completely right," he said. A moment later his hands left the steering wheel and wrapped around the cut chain hanging from my dog collar. Then pulling me forward he pressed my lips to his. It was a chaste kiss. The kind we used to give each other when were kids, after a whole day of playing on the playground. But even now, it felt the same. I closed my eyes at the familiar feeling.
Joel's lips were so different from Ulquiorra's or Grimmjow, his were soft, warm and inviting. I started to open my mouth but he pulled back. His eyes were half lidded as he spoke. " Now you know where I stand. I won't lose you…to him…to anyone."
The words might as well have not been spoken. My head was spinning and my senses were dazed. He started the car without a word, then pulled off the grass. Neither of us spoke on the way to school.
Ulquiorra and Joel. Complete opposite…hollow and shinigami…natural born enemies. Put them in a room together and watch the sparks fly. Grimmjow…Baka! Kisses me for no good reason…adding to the confusion in my brain. Need to find some object hard enough to actually dent his skin. Must inflic…
" Well that's not nice Kitty," It was Grimmjow's voice. I almost jumped out of my skin. His hand reached across my desk and yanked my black notebook that I was writing in.
" Grimmjow!" I exclaimed.
" Most inflict….what? Pain?" He reached across and took my stub of a chain in his hand. " Pleasure?" I moved back a couple of inches.
" How'd you get in here?"
" I walked. Duh. The correct question should be why am I here?"
" Ok," I closed my eyes. " Why the fuck are you in here Grimmjow?" He grinned.
" That's more like it." Leaning against my desk he continued grinning. " Same reason as yesterday. I bit my lip. To try and suduce me…. " How have you been feeling lately?" He asked suddenly serious.
" Why the hell should you care?" I snapped.
" The periods between separations are growing shorter."
" What's that suppose to mean?" He didn't answer. A moment later class started and he walked out causally his hands in his pockets. The periods between separations are growing shorter…what's that supposed to mean…Is he trying to say something about me and Ulquiorra?
" I don't like to lose…"
"I won't lose you too anyone…"
Stupid Ulquiorra…and Joel….and Grimmjow. Slamming my head on the desk I sighed loudly, no longer caring who heard me.
" And I was like yeah well you can go take a hike bud…." The stuffed lion rambled endlessly into Ulquiorra's ear. While standing on his shoulder, its hand latching onto the already pointed yet blunt end of Ulquiorra's mask. Ulquiorra had long ago toned out the lion's pointless rambling.
He needed to find some place remote and away from humans. He had sensed the returning of his powers. And he needed some place to try out the full extent of them.
" I don't sense any souls around here," Kon replied hopping off Ulquiorra's shoulder. " I guess you could work here."
This process will probably take longer than I imagined…the thought extending his fingers. Then summoning up his pressure he began the process of calling his stocked spiritual pressure.
" Another clear jump! Wow Molly you've gotten better."
" Really?" I asked still sitting on the mat.
" You keep this up and you may be competing." The couch replied. I smiled.
" How much training do you do at home?"
" Not much," which was true. It didn't train at home under regular conditions. And I didn't need to ponder where the extra agility and strength had suddenly come from.
" Wanna another go round?"
" No, I'm ok. I'm a little tired." Standing from the mat I headed to blenchers where I laid down against one. I couldn't explain why but for some reason I my eyes felt suddenly heavy and my body ached. So tired…sleep…I'll just…close my eyes for a moment.
" Molly wake up," I shifted up. Joel's face was above mine. I rubbed the side of my mouth reflexively. I had fallen asleep on the bleacher.
" Joel what the…"
" You fell asleep," taking my hand in his large one he helped me up. " You ok?"
" I think…I don't even remember closing my eyes."
Joel looked concerned. In fact I was feeling a bit tired. If it wasn't for Joel's grip on my shoulder I would have fallen over.
" Molly," he started. I pressed my forehead against his shoulder.
" Will you be alright?" It was Rin's voice. I didn't bother to sit up.
" Oh hi Rin."
" Hello Molly," I peeked one eye out one eye and peered over at Rin. She was staring motionlessly, her face blank. When she spotted me looking at her she glanced over at the ground.
" Molly?"
" I'm starting to feel a bit light headed…" I said. Joel tightened his grip. Rin looked suddenly concerned.
" Molly…your nose…"
" My nose…"
Before I could utter another word, Joel had his shirt pressed against my nose.
" I'm bleeding…" I mumbled touching my nose. I could feel the blood curling down my lip and my chin. " Why am I…" I felt my weight give on my feet and fell forward.
Finally…his sword was back in his hands. The familiar weight and form, he swung, it seemed to cut the very air. The lion sitting on the branch awed. With it he could finally maybe transform…this much had been accomplished with a few more hours…
" Girl…" he whispered. It was slight but he sense a sudden distress. She…sheathing his sword he faced the opposite way.
" Molly? Where?" Kon asked hopping down, and landing on Ulquiorra's shoulder.
" We are leaving," Ulquiorra replied stringing his sword to his hip. Molly was waiting.
" Well I'm done." The nurse said. I sat up wryly. " I can say is you've worked yourself a little too hard. I told the couch she's working you kids too hard."
" Is that all," I asked touching my nose. Joel huffed. I could tell he didn't like that answer.
" It won't happen again will it?" Joel asked. I leaned my head against Rin's shoulder, I was still feeling a bit light headed. She shifted slightly as if she was about to move away but stopped.
" It shouldn't, if Molly doesn't work herself too hard."
" I'm not don't worry," I said standing up on shaky legs. Joel helped me.
" I can go to class now right?"
" Yes…"
" No," it was Joel this time. I turned suddenly.
" What?" The door to the nurses office opened. And standing at its base was Grimmjow. His hands were in his pockets, a wide grin on his face. The nurse froze and her face grew blank as if dazed.
" Hey," he greeted lightly flicking his hand. Baka! I thought standing up straight.
" What are you doing here Grimmjow?" Joel demanded.
"Came here to check on Molly," he beckoned to where I was standing with a move of his head. " You ok?"
I nodded.
" Calm it down reaper boy, geez." Grimmjow exclaimed still smiling. I could practically feel the anger rising off Joel. His pressure was suffocating the room. Even the nurse seemed somewhat effected. I touched his arm, he pushed me gently off.
" Where do you get off? I thought I told you to stay…"
" As if I would listen to you, please. Who do you think I am?"
Joel growled again. A sound from the back of his throat. Grimmjow grinned.
" You act like she's yours or something. Which I know is far from the truth."
" Where are you getting at Grimmjow?" Joel asked.
" Its just what I said. She's not yours. That's all I'm getting at."
" Nether you," Joel added. Grimmjow shrugged. Then taking the necessary steps to get to me he grabbed my arm and pulled me brusiglily against his iron hard chest. My forehead hit his neck and I felt a ping of pain.
" Grimmjow!" I exclaimed.
" See she's already calling out my name," Grimmjow said. He was baiting Joel trying his hardest to make him angry. I started to pull away from him, but when my hand touched the exposed flesh of his chest he grinned and I pulled back. His hand swept through some of my hair.
Joel lunged, Grimmjow dodged, now holding me bridal style. I protested. " Just sit still Kitten. This is going to be fun."
" How is this…" he kissed the top of my head quickly. " Nurse! Their fighting," I yelled. Still dazed she said nothing. " What did you do to her?"
With his lips still on my forehead he smiled. I could feel his lips twisting. " I just dazed her a little. Nothing much."
" Put her down," Joel warned.
" Yeah like he said," I added.
" This is just to fun," Grimmjow raved. " In fact I've been itching to take you on Soul Reaper. You reminded me too damn much of that orange haired freak. So what do you say?"
" I say put her down."
" Your lack of vocabulary is…" Grimmjow started. Joel lunged. Grimmjow dodged. " Hold on Kitten, we're about to take a little ride."
" Ride?" What?" I closed my eyes against the familiar feeling. He was moving fast, just like Ulquiorra when he was holding me. My stomach dropped. And before I knew it I felt the slight breeze of the wind as it blew through my hair.
" Grimmjow what the he…"
" I'll be right back." He jumped. I'm on the roof again…
" The triangle effect," It was Rin voice this time.
" The what?" I asked still glancing off the side of the roof.
" The triangle the situation people like you often find themselves in. Having to decided between one side of the other. Being that you are on top."
" Me decided between Joel and Grimmjow. Please those aren't even options." I snorted.
" Which is why they have took it upon themselves to fight for your hand," Rin explained sitting on the side of the roof. She had a book in her hand. " Through Ulquiorra is not here, but he is still part of the linking. So therefore you have just been moved to the middle."
" What?"
" So he does intend to fight," Rin replied not looking up. " Very well." Lifting on hand she flicked her finger lightly against the air. Instantly a dot of black highlighted the air, then spread and opened. A portal…she did that with just one finger? Then standing she reached in slightly, then came back out. Joel's discarded human form lay on the ground in front of her feet.
I almost screamed. What the heck was Joel thinking? Was he really going to fight Grimmjow over something so stupid. I pulled myself onto the roof's edge and looked over. Both had their swords unsheathe and seemed to be ready to fight. But the more I think about it I've never seen Joel's sword unleashed. It could be interesting.
"Rin," I called.
" Yes Molly?"
" How long have you known Joel?" I asked. Joel and Grimmjow were now fighting. Their swords clashing with the other. Filling the air with the metallic sounds of metal against metal.
" Since he was very young," she answered.
" How did you…?"
" It is because of him that I am even alive. I owe him much."
" How so…what happened?"
She looked away from her book for a moment as if she was about to answer me then looked back and shook her head. " Nothing. It was too far back for me to try and recall."
" Well tell me this? Did you look like this when you met him?"
" Of course. He ages much quickly than do."
" D-do you think they're hurt each other?"
" Not from what I can tell. They seem to be toying with each other. And it doesn't seem as if neither wants to hurt the other if it means disheartening you." She sounded serious when she spoke I relaxed a little.
" Come to think of it, I've never actually heard Joel release his sword or call its name." I observed. Joel and Grimmjow swords were locked.
" Akuma tsuin gan," Rin replied.
" Ak…what?"
" The name of his sword. It means Demon Twin Guns."
" Guns? But it looks like a regular sword to me?"
" Not when they're released. When release they…" There was crash. I turned to glance off over the roof. Joel was plastered to the wall, pieces of brink and cement fell down from where his back imprinted. Blood curled down the side of his mouth.
" Joel!" I yelled standing.
" Molly, wait!" Rin exclaimed. I turned. She was reaching out for me, her face full of shock.
" Rin what…" My foot caught against the ridge of the roof and I felt myself falling. I opened my mouth to scream but nothing would come out. The world was sweeping by. I could see the ground, the metal pole that stood beneath where I was to land. Could hear both Joel and Grimmjow scream for me. I'm falling…I'm going to die…I'm…No! I have to concentrate. I have to summon some of my power…if I concentrate on my body maybe I can…Summoning my powers I watched as the orbs appeared surrounding my body waiting for a command.
" Gather," I yelled at the top of my lungs, just before my leg connected with the metal of the bar below.
His intention had been on saving her. He had watched her fall, watched her body plummet to the earth, seen the fear on her face. But just as he set off, he noticed orbs appear around her body. Then her body halt as if frozen in time itself.
" Wow!" Kon exclaimed. " She froze."
Ulquiorra himself could not even believe it. She was frozen. The orbs around her surrounded her body, in a protective bubble. She opened her eyes slowly then looked around.
" How!"
Amazing…She sat up suddenly then stood. She was still floating. She then descended until she was inches from the ground.
" Release," she called. The bubbled vanished she landed. " How did?"
" Molly!" It was Joel. He came running forward. Ulquiorra followed. The girl's gaze went from Joel directly to Ulquiorra. She leaped.
" No!" She placed herself between Joel and Ulquiorra.
" What the heck Molly!"
" You two will be the next to start fighting if I don't stop you," She added. " Those who baka's over there have already started."
" Molly you just fell ten feet and that's all your worried about," Joel said.
" I fell ten feet because I thought you were hurt?"
" Well I'm not," Joel exclaimed grabbing Molly's bruised arm. Ulquiorra could see that she was still flushed from falling, and shocked.
" Are you ok girl?" He asked. She nodded. Her eyes roamed his body, then stopped at the sword on his hip. She puzzled over it for a moment before finally asking.
" Your sword you got it back?"
" Yes. But not fully. Its power is still lacking."
She smiled. " Still it's good you've finally got it back."
" I sense your distress so I came. Is my training putting stress on your body?" He asked. She smiled and shook her head. Joel stepped forward as if to protest but stopped. Ulquiorra didn't remove his eyes from her person. She's lying…I could sense that she was hurt…
Grimmjow who was standing in the background just huffed. Ulquiorra paid no mind. His eyes were still locked onto Molly. I shall have to train more nearer to her…to avoid this in the future.
The lion on his shoulder jumped down. " Why were you all fighting anyway?"
No one responded. Molly stepped up, anger plan on her face. " They don't have a valid reason. Their just being idiots. Fighting for no reason."
" That's not it," protested Joel.
" Then what is it?"
He didn't answer. Molly huffed. " How about you Grimmjow?"
He shrugged.
" See no good reason. Just killing each other for no reason. If me going to the nurse if going to erupt in senseless violence then I guess I won't go anymore." Molly replied with a tight smile. " Geez boys are so stupid." She told Rin. Ulquiorra closed his eyes. He didn't know the reason the two were fighting. But by observing the scene they had been fighting over something involving Molly.
And knowing how protective Joel was over her, he could see a fight breaking out in the mist of them. Idiots…she far to willful to accept something like that…
" A-are you ok ?" Rin asked. Molly nodded again.
" I had been practicing doing that for a while. I wasn't sure it was going to work but…" she looked towards where Ulquiorra was standing. Then blushing she turned back to Rin. " I got it."
The girl with the silver hair, Rin smiled uneasily.
When I arrived home. Both Mom and Ulquiorra were in the kitchen. He had an apron on and a spoon was in his hand. He looked like he was in the middle of stirring something.
" Ulquiorra?"
" Girl," he said
" How did?"
" I asked him to help cook. He agreed." Mom cheered. Ulquiorra placed the spoon the counter. Then walking over to me, he reached out. I closed my eyes. His fingertips brushed my eyebrows.
" You're tired," he stated. " You need to go rest."
" But I want to help you guys," I protested weakly. His gaze didn't waver. Mom had stopped what she was doing in the background and was now looking at us. Ulquiorra didn't seem to notice or if he did he didn't care. The bracelet on my wrist shifted slightly.
His touches were feather light, soft as if he dared to make himself do more. I found myself leaning forward. Why couldn't he just do more…push himself…like before. The memory of Ulquiorra, of his hands on me, his lips on mine came rushing back to me. And the only thing I could suddenly do to stop myself from attacking him was to turn away.
He didn't protest or say a word as I headed into my room silently. Once in I noticed Kon on my bed. He seemed to be asleep. I curled up against his snoring form and feeling instantly asleep. Where I then dreamed of a portal much like Rin's opening up right in my bedroom.
" I failed this time sir," Rin replied.
" Failure is not an option. You said you had it covered. Shall I bring more Soul Reapers to increase the odds of their capture?" The head Soul Reaper inquired.
"That won't be necessary. We have it covered," Hitsugaya assured.
" I trust your words are true, Captain." The head Soul Reaper snapped logging off. Leaving the screen black. Hitsugaya's snow colored eyebrows curved. Rin had paused. She had the opportunity to grab Molly.
" Failure is not a n option. If we are to contain her without casualty we must put aside undue feelings. And remember what's at stake if we don't."
" But, Ulquiorra he's not hurting anyone…" Rin protested.
" He's a hollow. Have you forgotten that? And he's killing her. Weather it be intentional or unintentional it no longer matter what his intentions are."
" I know but…" Rin started but stopped instantly. There was no point in arguing. " We can successfully proceed tomorrow."
" Come girl…" the creature called still reaching out. His eyes bared down at me. From where I stood I could see the fangs waiting in his mouth. Both Ulquiorra and Joel were dead.
" No! Leave me alone…" I swiped at his hand. Feeling nothing. Opening my eyes I glanced at his fur stuck fingers. They were dissolving, floating into the air. Tiny particles barely visible by the eye.
His green eyes saddened. " I see," he mumbled. Turning away.
" Huh?" I opened both my eyes. Ulquiorra was leaned above me. His green eyes staring down intently.
" You food is ready," he replied. I rubbed my eyes. The plate of food was sitting beside my bed, steaming and ready.
" Thank you," I whispered. He nodded.
" I'll leave you to…" He started, I grabbed his arm.
" No please stay. I…I had another dream. About that same creature." I said. Ulquiorra froze. " He killed you and Joel again."
" I see," he said. I froze. His voice sounded so much like that creature when he said those words.
" U-Ulquiorra," I tightened my grip. " I…w-will…"
" What girl?"
I felt the blood rush to my face. " Will you stay with me tonight?" I asked looking away. He didn't reply for a long while, then sighing he closed his eyes and nodded.
" But eat first," he said sitting on the side of the bed. Nodding I picked up the fork and dug in. Once done I placed my food on the table beside my bed, and curled up against Ulquiorra's cold lap where I soon fell fast asleep.
" Love triangle…" The girl mumbled against Ulquiorra's chest. She was doing it again. Talking in her sleep. " Square?"
He shook his head, her words had no meaning. Had he the heart he would have woken her up and made her aware of her useless prattling. But such things did not occur within him, so he left her as she was.
Her breath was hot against the cloth at his chest, but he didn't complain about that either. The lion named Kon lay against her, his hands wrapped around her wrist. Ulquiorra's hands rested loosely on her waist, as far as he could allow himself to go.
Why can I not tell her no. Something so simple…yet I could not…this girl is like a weakness…He thought back to how he ran to her aid. Abandoning all that seemed most important at that moment to come and save a human girl. It's this bond…No it had to be far more than that. Just the sudden rush of her heart beat unexpectedly sent his nerves on edge. She was unpredictable and unreliable on her own.
And end now he was attending to her needs. He felt as he should be disgusted with himself, but surprisingly wasn't.
The girl shifted slightly, and before he could warrant or stop it, her arms came up and wrapped securely around his neck pulling him down towards her. " So hot…" she whispered, kicking the covers away. He followed the movement of her body, until he was laying on his side, the girl's face buried in his neck, her knees curled at his stomach.
" I fail to understand you…" he said pressing his chin against her head and closing his eyes to drift off to sleep.
