Ulquiorra stands on the podium, gazing out placidly at the audience, with not a care in the world. He leisurely crosses his arms and blinks in slow progression while inwardly determining the outcome of this situation he's gotten himself into. It wasn't really all that problematic: he had been snatched up from a dismal abyss of darkness and despair and whisked away here without prior notice.
By Kevvy Talks no less.
He couldn't say he was bothered by these current events; if anything, he was suffering mildly from a state of suspended boredom. He held no qualms about the crowd. Altogether, they seemed more and more interested with the Kuchiki girl than him. He was not going to dive into a speech of angst, but he couldn't deny all the focus on this girl of all of them was beginning to get agitating. After awhile, he just chose one of the pieces of furniture decorating the setting and fell down onto it as elegantly as one could possibly fall.
Every now and then his foot would bob up and down from where he sat in the familiar wooden chair he'd propped himself up in, legs overlapping one another, figure unusually taut, expression grim. His lips pressed in a thin line as a few of the spectators joined in shouting out advanced bids on the petite raven-haired woman.
On the far of the stage, Ukitake was sitting amongst a sea of cushions and plushies that Kevvy had gone out of the way to get him just for his convenience.
Ulquiorra was presented no such luxeries. Not that he would have accepted such if they were given.
He had no use for such necessities.
At one point, the white-haired shinigami glanced over at him with chocolate brown eyes that were as wide as a puppy's and said, "I don't know who I should pick. They're all so wonderful." His lips lifted in a contented smile and he clutched closer a sort of bunny doll that Rukia had given him. "Aren't you excited?"
"Thrilled," Ulquiorra said monotonously.
BloodRedDeathGod: "I will give my undying soul for Ulquiorra! I will gather 1000 souls wrapped in the blackest shadows for you! I will...I will rip out my heart and give it to you!"
Ulquiorra sighed.
It was a start.
To be continued...
Anime-kisses, you are still on par with Alchemistofpeace for Ukitake; the both of you may have to offer something' extra cuz it's too close for Ukitake to call. So far, BloodRedDeathGod is at the top of the list for Ulquiorra. I apologize to everyone for the brief chapter; I didn't have much to go on cuz everyone bidded in advance for Rukes. I did everything from Ulquiorra's point of view for fun. I have evaluated all your bids and taken them into consideration. Rukia appreciates all the offers in advance. Thanks. Keep 'em comin'!
