Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or any of its characters. If I did, I'd know where Szayel's hollow hole is.
Anyways so I like Japanese honorifics so I use them randomly when I think it sounds good but since I'm not Japanese half the time I leave them out. So if it has been at all confusing. sorry. I just like randomly spamming my story with them!
Okay... I'm guessing you are all mad at me from that horrible April fools joke I pulled. I know it was horrible and I knows I prolly deserve the scarce reviews I got for chapter 10. Sorry! . but I thought it was funny. . Anyways i knows you are all mad at me but please start reviewing again. I LOVE THE REVIEWS!!! I am a Fool!! "What a happy little world you live in. Dream on fool dream on." (and if you recognize who quotes that last part I love you!)
I have the settings on anonymous reviews enabled, so absolutely anyone can review this story. Please review and tell me what you think.
Summary: I figure by now if you need to know where the summary IS then go back to any of the previous chapters. You've read this far you should know what you are reading.
Chapter 11: "Do You Feel Like a Man, When You Push Her Around." -Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Grimmjow gave him a pew face before taking his leave? (Grimmjow's mind # 2: "Meow meow meow meow..." Meow mix song.) Ulquiorra watched the sixth Espada leave before turning his attention back to Orihime.
Orihime felt his cold sad gaze pierce into her like a knife. He didn't say a word but his eyes were full of accusations. He held her gaze for a moment longer before turning his attention to the food tray Grimmjow had brought.
"Are you alright?" he asked, still staring at the food.
"Y-yes. I'm fine now."
"Is that what happened to the food I brought?"
"Huh?" Orihime was confused.
"Did you dump the food I brought out the window?" He asked. "The food before I started bringing you the other world food."
"Y-yes." she whispered in reply.
Ulquiorra let out a tired sigh. The Espada started towards the door not even bothering to look at her.
"Don't leave." said Orihime.
Ulquiorra didn't stop.
"I want you to stay." She pleaded.
Ulquiorra stopped and glanced over his shoulder. "Why?"
"Feed me."
"You don't like that food." He plainly pointed out.
"I will if you do it." She retorted. (Oooo! I wonder what she's implying.)
"No." He started for the door again.
Orihime panicked, afraid her second chance was just going to walk out the door again. As fast as her body would move she leaped off the bed and ran up behind Ulquiorra just as he was reaching the door. She proceeded to fling herself at him and was surprised when he turned around and caught her.
His expression was slightly shocked so Orihime guessed he must have caught her out of reflex.
"Don't play wi-" Ulquiorra's sentence was cut off as Orihime pressed her lips against his. The kiss was quick and rushed and she pulled away almost as quickly as she kissed him.
The fourth Espada's eyes read confusion.
"Please don't leave."
Ulquiorra released her immediately and stepped back.
"I-I have other duties to attend to." (Like what? Cutting himself?)
Orihime looked defeated. She turned her gaze to the floor. her head tilting down. "Oh. I'm sorry, Ulquiorra-sama. I didn't mean to keep you." She apologized. (Yes she did.)
"I'll return once I've finished to check up on you." He left with that.
Orihime crumpled onto the bed she wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad. Ulquiorra had rejected her but he'd also promised to come back. She wasn't sure if this was a good sign or a bad one. She decided to wait and find out. (What else is she gonna do? C'mon she's in a cell.)

"Artuto Plathadido!" Yelled Ichigo. "We killed you!"
The Arrancar in front of them was taken back by the orange haired soul reaper's outburst. "Its Arturo Plateado. And I'm sorry to say that you are sadly mistaken. I was not at my full strength the last time we fought. But I've come back."
"What do you want?" Demanded Rukia.
"Funny that you should ask that, little reaper." Arturo let out a laugh. His voice held a French accent that was recognizable whenever he spoke. "i have no interest in you, I'm more concerned with the strange congregation of hollows i sense out there." He gestured in the direction of Las Noches, which was not visible from where they were. "Something is impeding on my territory. I want it gone."
"You fought with Head captain Yamamoto when he was a young man, correct?" asked Rukia, she was trying to recall what her brother had told her.
"The aged old artifact? He's nothing compared to what he was before." Arturo laughed again maniacally. "Why do you ask?"
"That would mean you were created before Aizen even existed." Said Uryu.
"Precisely" answered Rukia.
"Who is this Aizen you speak of?" Arturo became intrigued.
"How were you created?" Asked Rukia.
"I formed naturally. I am the first, and the most powerful. I came into existence eons ago." Explained The Arrancar.
"According to my brother and Lady Yoruichi, you came to the Soul Society thousands and thousands of years ago and fought with Head captain Yamamoto and several other protectors of the Soul Society. Very few survived the battle against you and you left blood and broken corpses in your wake. Even with the combined powers of the most powerful of reapers it wasn't enough to kill you and it was only by luring you into a trap that the survivors were able to seal you away in central 46. in a cell with no doors and no light where not even time existed and the one contained inside did not age."
"You are well informed little reaper."
"If that's the case the arrancars that exist now shouldn't even be classified as Arrancar." said Uryu.
"What arrancar?" Demanded Arturo. "I don't sense any arrancar."
"You dumbass!" Said Ichigo. "That spirit pressure you feel out there is a whole shit-load of them!"
"That pressure? Arrancar?" Arturo snorted. "Don't make me laugh substitute. Thats just insulting."
"See for yourself, Arturo Plateado. They are led by a traitorous soul reaper captain named Sosuke Aizen." Explained Rukia. "He plans to obtain God status."
"Blasphemous." Arturo snarled. "a soul reaper dares tread on my sands and claim himself ruler of my realm. A lot has changed in my absence indeed." The arrancar pushed past the group and headed straight for Las Noches. This time he walked with more speed and purpose. The wings of fiery spiritual pressure flared on his back with agitation. The once contained spiritual pressure now flowed off of Arturo in powerful waves. The entire group behind him flinched and gasped as the waves of energy hit them and stabbed their bodies like thousands of Zanpakuto. It really was true. Arturo was back and with more power than last time. The Arrancar not only held the power of the Sokeyoku but also his own great power that had yet to awakened itself.
Arturo Plateado had been contained for so long in central 46 that his own power had gone dormant. And that wasn't the scariest part of his abilities. He had an ace up his sleeve that could even match Sosuke Aizen.
Okay. Orihime kissed Ulquiorra. so yes the relationship is progressing. In the mean time I tried my hardest to keep Arturo Plateado in character. He is a hard character to portray oh master Kubo. Anyway. I know it is cheesy but Yoruichi, Byakuya, Yamamoto, and Arturo himself explained Arturo's past in The Shattered Blade. So I had Rukia explain a lot of it here. i figured maybe Byakuya would explain it to her. and Renji is just dense so. And Ichigo swings his sword before he waits for and explanation so he doesn't know anything. Yes Arturo is the strongest Arrancar to ever exist. But that was a long time ago. his absence has allowed other arrancar to arise and well. now he has to regain his ground. Arturo kicks ass! I digress, The next chapter will include more appealing romance. so make sure to read. Hint hint. not quite, "Warning high sexual content!" But their will be more than just kissing! :D Please review I want to know what my readers think of the not quite famous Arturo Plateado from BLEACH the Shattered Blade.
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. So anyway... yes HAND WRITTEN means pre-written.
So let me know!!!! Thnx!
