Chapter 8: "God Damn Kitty Kitty!" -Lockhart
Orihime blinked in surprise at his response. A moan was not what she'd been expecting as a reply to fingering his hueco. (using hole without hollow sounds weird and wrong so I'm using the Spanish word) She was intrigued and curious.
Her fingers traced the hole in his chest delicately and Ulquiorra struggled to quell the emotions and feelings creeping just beneath his mask of emotionlessness.
He felt like cursing himself when a moan escaped his throat. 'I'm not supposed to encourage her!' He hissed mentally. He felt her fingers move again and a rush of pleasure rippled through his body. This didn't go unnoticed and Orihime was about to stroke it again when he snapped.
In an instant the Espada seized her hand while simultaneously fisting his other hand in her hair. Without a word he bent his head forward and rather forcefully pressed his lips against hers. (and this is not encouraging her how?) All rationality had left his mind.
Orihime was so surprised she didn't respond. she just stood their ,statue like, as the Espada's lips pressed firmly against her's in a kiss. For a moment he just held her like that, then broke away releasing her and stepping to the right towards the door.
just as Orihime was recovering from her shock Ulquiorra fled shutting the cell door behind himself.
She was all alone again.
She'd made a mistake. Ulquiorra fled because she'd rejected him. When she didn't respond to his kiss, she'd told him she wasn't interested. She unintentionally turned him down.
But was she interested?
Orihime hadn't really considered it before. Of course she always had feelings for Ichigo. But Ichigo wasn't there anymore, he never returned her feelings anyway. And now there was Ulquiorra, her all but emotionless caretaker. And he'd just expressed the emotion she once believed didn't exist within him.
Realization finally washed over her. Orihime had finally broken past his barrier. He actually opened up to her just barely and she had unintentionally slapped him down.
but would he come back?
She wasn't quite sure, but if he did, whenever he did, she needed to have a decision made. Did she like ulquiorra?
Yes.
Being locked up in this cell had caused her to take to her emotionless warden. She'd discovered things about him no one else had. Orihime had actually gotten to know the Espada.. and now that she thought about it he wasn't so heartless. (metaphorically speaking)

Flashback:
Ulquiorra made his way down the halls of Las Noches. His destination was the prisoner's cell. Szayel and the prisoner had a so called "sleep over" the night before and Ulquiorra was on his way to collect the dishes from the woman's room. he silently wished that Szayel had already left.
His hopes were quashed when he heard laughing a chatter from within her room.
He felt like rubbing his temple as he quietly opened the door.
The moment he opened the door Szayel assaulted him with a sadistic smile. "Wonderful timing Ulquiorra! Me and Orihime were just discussing pick up lines from her world. Got any ideas yourself?"
Uquiorra gave them a blank stare. "What is a pick up line?"
Szayel snickered evilly and said. "Its really easier if I just demonstrate." He got up and draped his arm around Ulquiorra's shoulder. "Like this. I don't have a library card , but do you mind if I check you out?"
Ulquiorra's eyes narrowed as he glared at Szayel.
"But Orihime and I's favorite is, My love for you is like diarrhea, I just can't hold it in." Szayel smiled wider. "What do you think?"
"I think you are sick." Ulquiorra shrugged Szayel's arm off and walked over to the empty food trays from the night before. "i take it you haven't heard anymore about that anomaly in the Hueco Mundo?"
Szayel put on a serious expression. "No I haven't... " He turned to Orihime and winked then turned back to Ulquiorra. "But we've devised the perfect theme song for when we head into battle." Orihime jumped up and stood next to him. "Ready?"
"Fighting evil by moonlight." Orihime began singing.
"Winning love by daylight." Szayel joined.
"Never running from a real fight. We are the ones called Esapada Moon!" they both sang together. "We will never turn our backs on a friend. We are always there to defend. We are the ones in which you can depend! We are the ones called Espada Moon!"
Before they could even finish Ulquiorrsa used sonido and escaped the room.
"I take it he didn't like that idea very much did he?" Asked Szayel in mock exasperation. Orihime just laughed cutely.
End of Flashback.

Orihime patiently waited for her next meal. While she waited she helped herself to the various fruits on the tray she hadn't hit with a pillow earlier. After many hours her waiting finally paid off. She heard foot steps coming towards her cell from down the hall.
"Stupid Ulquiorra, stupid Aizen, (Not that he'd ever say this to Aizen's face) stupid Gin." Grimmjow mumbled angrily. "Why do i have to be caretaker? This is ulquiorra's job."
Grimmjow was pissed because ulquiorra had suddenly requested a mission. After he left Gin had given the job of prisoner caretaker to sixth Espada in ulquiorra's absence.
It was unlike the fourth Espada to decide to take off for a day or two but neither Aizen nor Gin complained so now Grimmjow was stuck playing babysitter. It sucked bad.
Coming up to Orihime's cell door the Espada quickly unlocked it and kicked it open carrying a tray of food inside.
"Okay Princess. Food time." the sixth Espada stalked over to the old food cart in the middle of the room and brushed aside the old food remains so he could place the new tray on top.
"You're supposed to take that cart away and bring another one." instructed a feminine voice.
Grimmjow quickly found the speaker. She was seated on the bed, sort of in a curled up position in the middle.
"Sorry, but that's asking too much of my hospitality." Grimmjow came back. "you can just deal with the old one."
"Where is Ulquiorra-sama?"
"Whay does it matter?" Grimmjow rocked back on his heels while folding his arms behind his back.
"Because you never serve me food." she retorted while eyeballing the contents of the tray he'd just brought. She decided it must be Hueco Mundo food from its sickly appearance.
"Well now I am." He sniped, sounding slightly offended.
Orihime turned her head away from him.
Grimmjow looked at her from the corner of his eye in curiosity. "What's got your panties in a knot?" (Inside Grimmjow's mind # 1: He wonders what kind of panties she's wearing.) "Ulquiora serving you food can't be much better than me."
Orihime ignored him.
"Oh, C'mon! Admit it! If not for the fact that the guy moves he'd make a splendid lawn ornament. All he does is walk around chanting, 'I serve Lord Aizen.' At least I can carry on a decent conversation."
She still ignored him.
"Ya know, you really piss me off. I'm already pissed that this job got pawned off on me to begin with and now I get treated like this?" Grimmjow fisted his hands. "I hope Ulquiorra feels spacial when he comes back. (He'll feel special alright. As the author I'll make sure of that.) You're a real pain in the ass." With that Espada numero seis left.
Orihime blew a raspberry at the closed door after he left. Then, not to wast any time, she retrieved the tray that Grimmjow had just brought and dumped it's contents out the window.
After wards she continued to sit on the bed and bide her time. Ulquiorra couldn't stay away forever.
Please let me know if I made any mistakes! The song used was a hollow alteration of the Sailor Moon theme song. The pick up lines were from Weird Al's "Wanna B Ur Lovr." Thanks for the song ideas and I'm still accepting more! This new chapter was Hell to write. I'm glad I finished it though. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!! If you weren't aware before everything in the hollow arc is in Spanish. Hueco = hollow, Mundo = world, Pantera = panther, Murcielago = bat, Espada = sword, so on and so forth. Anyway. Hueco can also mean hole so as not to sound redundant I'm using it in my story. And apologies for the OOCness. Its not intended but imminent for this story to work. Thanks a bunch.
Throughout this Fic there will be random ( ) these are used to express my thoughts or inputs. They are meant to be funny and witty but they aren't part of the actual story. I was told by my peers however that they made the Fic twice as good, so I present them to you here in the printed version of this story. .....Yes I wrote this by hand on paper with pencil originally. You get the idea. Hand written stories are out of date.
So let me know!!!! Thnx!
