!Chapter1!
Beep! Beep!
`What's that noise?'
Beep! Beep!
`Is that an alarm?'
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
`No it's my alarm clock! I don't want to get up!' Orihime groaned in her pillow as she stretched out her left hand in order to hopefully hit the snooze button.
BEEP! BEEP! BAM!
Orihime found herself hitting wood, as she fell to the ground. She quickly sat up, and traces of tiredness suddenly gone and replaced with pain. She rubbed her face before going up to stop her immensely irritating alarm clock. Once it was off she shuffled over to her bathroom and soon you could hear the water running.
Once she got out the shower she then went to her closet and pulled out her school uniform. They were black hakama's with white haori's and black hitoe. She brushed her beautiful waist length orange hair so that half was up with a clip in the back of her head while the rest hung loosely behind her shoulders. She was sure to grab her little blue clips and put them in as well.
She then made her way down the hallway and down stairs just in time to hear a knock at the door. She knew who it was and went to open the door and see her friend Rukia Kuchiki at the door. “Hey Rukia, come in for a sec.”
“Ok, but hurry we don't want to be late…again.” Rukia said. Orihime knew she was right, she already had enough detentions to last a life time. She went in and grabbed a bagel and a banana then she and Rukia left the house.
They quickly walked down the street only to be distracted by police sirens heading in the direction of the two schools down the street. There was there school Shinigami, which the students had knick named it the “Soul Society”. Nobody really knows the purpose of the name, but it seems to fit. Across from it is Hueco Mundo. Those two schools have been rivals for as long as anybody can remember. No doubt something must have went down between the two schools, and usually Ichigo Kurosaki was the one to get involved in the fights at the school. Rukia and Orihime hurriedly ran off down the street and into a crowd filled with the black uniform of `Soul Society' and the white uniforms of Hueco Mundo.
They made there way to the center only to be greeted by pretty much all there friends. Toshiro Hitsugaya was being handcuffed and shoved into a car, along with a feminine looking guy that Orihime didn't know. Ichigo also getting handcuffed was still trying to get at the blue haired guy that Orihime knew as Grimmjow. He and Ichigo have hated each other pretty much there whole lives. Then there was the red pineapple head that they all knew as Renji giving glares at this guy with pink hair. `I wonder if that hair color is natural?' Orihime thought to herself.
“Something crazy must've really went down here if Toshiro was involved.” Rukia said. “Is that my brother speaking to the officer?” Rukia pointed her head at Byakuya who seemed to have an unemotional face although Rukia knew he was infuriated.
“Inoue!” Orihime turned in the direction she heard her name only to see Rangiku Matsumoto running towards them. “You should've seen the crazy fight!”
“Fight? Why were they fighting?” Orihime asked.
“I don't really know for sure. I'm always late, but when I got here it was at least ten guys crowding around the guys. Then I saw Ichigo hit Grimmjow in the jaw and then chaos!” Rangiku stated. She was a pretty woman. She had orange hair just like Orihime, except hers had flips. She was a senior while Orihime was a junior.
“But only six of them are getting arrested.” Rukia said.
“Yea, only six of them fought. The other 7 stepped back to watch.” Rangiku said, as she looked the guys over and began to point them out. “It was that big black guy there, the tall one there, the one with blonde hair there, the girl with green hair there, that guy with the black hair there, the feminine one, the bald guy, pinky over there, Grimmjow, and the real pale one right there.”
“Real pale one?” Orihime looked in the area Rangiku pointed. “I don't see him.”
“He's the one with his hands in his pocket.” Rangiku said.
“Oh I see him!” Orihime said. It was like déjà vu, because as soon as she said those words he turned to look at her. His cold green seemed to have been looking through her. Orihime couldn't help but look back.
“Rukia.” Came a deep voice from there rights. They all turned to see Byakuya. “The cops want to question you three about the situation.”
“But brother we weren't here. How could we possibly know what happened?” Rukia asked.
“He just wants to know about the past and stuff like that. Just answer the questions as best as you can.” Byakuya then turned and walked away as a police officer came up to the three girls, and he guided them to the couple of cars so they can drive them off for questioning.

They drove for a little while with some cars following them. No doubt the ones with Toshiro, Ichigo, and Renji were in front of them. Soon they turned into a parking lot in front of a gray building. The doors soon opened for them, and they notice that the guys from before were there as well.
The girls ran to their friends. Since the cop said that they could speak with them as long as they don't try to set them free. It didn't matter anyways they were being closely watched.
“What the hell happened back there?” Rukia asked as she latched on to her boyfriend Renji.
“Yea pineapple head, how'd everything get so rough that they had to call the cops?” Rangiku asked.
“I warned them to keep their cool. Ichigo here thought it was the best time to lay one on Grimy over there.” Toshiro said as he came up to them.
“Well I never said I was the best at controlling my anger.” Ichigo said. “What are you guys doing here anyways?”
“They brought us in for questioning. Although I don't know what good it would do seeing as we were late and don't know what exactly went down.” Orihime said.
Suddenly Toshiro hit the ground as the feminine guy had walked passed them all with pinky, and Grimy. They gave each other hated glares except for Grimmjow who decided he wanted to take a liking to Orihime at the moment.
“Son of a…” Ichigo started but stopped hearing Rangiku's voice.
“That girl really has manly hits don't you think Inoue?” Orihime couldn't help but laugh as the guy turned to glare at them.
“I hope you know that I am fully a male, and you're starting to look really good right now.” The guy said. Rangiku got a disgusted look on her face as he continued. “Your name is Rangiku right? I'm Luppi and I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of each other.” Luppi then turned and stalked over to the rest of the group of people. Orihime noticed the girl with long waist length green hair gave Ichigo looks when she thought nobody was looking. She was a pretty girl, and Orihime knew she must hate hanging around all of those guys. That was until she noticed the blonde was a girl as well.
“Hey Ichigo Nel's giving you those looks again.” Rukia giggled. “Man does she have the hots for you!” Everybody turned to glance at the green haired lady and then back at Ichigo who shrugged it off as if it was nothing important.
“Alright ladies you need to come with me.” The officer said. “We're going to lead you to a room where you'll… is that smoke?”
There was a large poof of smoke coming from the direction of the school and suddenly fire trucks and ambulances were racing back to that area.
“Man were too late! Well looks like you guys are in the clear until some other time.” An officer said as he uncuffed the guys. They all then hopped back in the police cars not even sure which ones they were going to until they were inside and realized they were all separated. Orihime found herself in a car between the pale guy with the fierce green icy eyes, and Grimy.
“Well, look who we have here.” Grimmjow stated. “Ulquiorra it looks like we've caught ourselves a beauty.” Although Grimmjow was a handsome guy she found herself slightly disgusted.
“Well, hello to you too Grimy.” Orihime said as he growled at the name. The guy next to her didn't seem to show emotion, and Grimy was a hot head. `Grea,a masochistic guy and an antisocial guy. This is going to be a long ride.'
“Certainly you're not stuck on that stupid name Ichigo gave me are you?” Grimmjow asked as he began to run his hand over her thigh. Orihime's eyes slightly widened as she scooted away from Grimmjow, which happened to be closer to Ulquiorra.
“It fits you. Don't you think?” Orihime answered. Her actions and her words were getting on his nerves.
“I'm sure you don't find Ulquiorra more comforting than me?” Grimmjow chuckled as she moved even closer to Ulquiorra. “That's not wise. He's a deadly guy.” Orihime thought about his words. Grimmjow was a crazy guy, almost got caught for blowing up some house, they had no proof that it was him so he got out of that one easily, but Orihime knew that it was him, for one he did tell her. `If Grimmjow was saying that this guy was deadly then it must be saying something.'
Orihime turned to look up at the guy only to meet icy green. He had black hair that reached the end of his neck, and he had pale skin. He wore that white Hueco Mundo uniform that occasionally would have a black stripe somewhere. He was beautiful in his own way, somehow addicting. Orihime couldn't look away from this guy.
`Why is this woman looking at me like that?' Somehow this girl fascinated him. He was indeed a deadly man, and she knew nothing about him. `But she finds me a hell a lot more interesting than Grimmjow. Maybe even feels more comfortable.' What the hell was wrong with this girl?
All thoughts were cut off when they suddenly came to a stop. The doors swung open, and Orihime looked at her school, which was up in flames.
Orihime couldn't believe her eyes. Her beloved school was burning. She couldn't help but stare at the bright, hot flames. She could feel the heat even from the distance she was standing. Her eyes widened as she blinked a couple of times as she didn't understand what was going on. She couldn't process what was going on into her mind simply because it was blank.
Orihime was brought out of her trance as somebody tugged at her arm. She turned to see Ulquiorra dragging her away so the fire men wouldn't run her over. She was standing next to Ulquiorra and Grimmjow when she noticed Ichigo walking over to her. She ran towards him.
“Do you know what happened?” She asked as she clung to his arm. He looked down at her and smiled gently.
“They think it was arson.” Ichigo said.
“But why would somebody want to burn down a school?” Orihime asked as he walked her over to her friends. She turned around to look at Ulquiorra while she was still listening to what Ichigo was saying. For some reason she was drawn to him.
“I don't know, but there was no leaks in the school, no faulty wiring. There was nothing. It had to be set afire purposefully.” Ichigo stated. They were now with there friends and they could here exactly what Renji was saying.
“I think it was Grimy!” Renji shouted. They weren't too far from the `Espada' as they liked to call the group of ten. They called everybody else `Arrancar' for some reason. And Orihime will never know. Anyways the `Espada' heard what Renji was saying and quickly made there ways over with Ulquiorra strolling behind in the back.
“What you tryna say `Pineapple'?” Grimmjow asked. “And would you stop calling my Grimy!” Orihime couldn't help but giggle. Which caused a couple of people to notice her, she didn't like that. `Why do all I always do things at the wrong time?'
“Oh that's funny to you?” Grimmjow asked with an amused smirk an his face.
“It is to me!” Rangiku stated pretty loudly. She had that funny grin on her face, and Orihime silently thanked her for the save.
“Nobody asked you babe.” Luppi said. A chuckle was heard from the group of Espada. “And what's so funny Nnoitra?” Luppi asked.
“I don't have to answer that question.” Nnoitra stated.
“The hell you don't! I'm tired of your attitude! You almost surpass Grimmjow here!” Luppi said as if he were the leader of the group. The tall Nnoitra gave him an amused look.
“You're lucky I got burned and cover my tattoo, because right now I feel like kicking your ass!” Grimmjow shouted. Ulquiorra visibly rolled his eyes as Grimmjow and Luppi went at it again. They were beginning to forget the whole point in the mission. They were to burn down the school so the two schools would merge, and Aizen could somehow get a hold of the girl. Still that girl was really starting to interest him, she knows about them and knows that they weren't somebody to tamper with, but she still held a friendly face. `What the hell is wrong with her?' Ulquiorra asked himself.
“Yea well now I have that tattoo and you will never get it back! Now be obedient and obey your master!” Luppi shouted then smirked with triumph, which didn't last since Grimmjow laid a nice one his face and a sickening crack was heard. Luppi went sailing to the ground with a nose bleed.
Grimmjow's cerulean eyes went ice blue as he glared at Luppi on the ground holding his nose like a 3 year old who just scraped his knee. Grimmjow's whole aura seemed to darken, hell even his hair seemed to turn a deep aqua! Luppi shuffled backwards as Grimmjow walked towards him.
“I belong to no one, and my only master is of the one who created me. You'd be well to remember that.” Grimmjow sneered as he turned away from Luppi.
“Well it seems that Grimmjow ends on top…once again.” A teenager with silver hair and squinted eyes walked up to the group. They all knew him well, he used to go to the same school as all of them until he caused one of the students to fall into a coma.
“Gin.” Was all Toshiro said as Gin walked towards the group. Toshiro hated Gin for causing his girlfriend Momo to fall into a coma. He visited her everyday and nothing seemed to change.
“Toshiro.” Gin said with his usual smile, or smirk. You could never really tell the difference between them. There were only two people Toshiro knew who could actually tell and that was Gin himself and Rangiku his friend that was a sister like figure in his life.
“What is it Gin?” The pink haired guy asked.
“Yeah what Pinky said.” Renji spat viciously. Although the joke made him sound less intimidating.
“Don't tell me you forgot my name already?” Pinky asked. He looked over at the group standing in front of him and noticed they all had blank and clueless faces. He sighed before he spoke. “No matter I'll tell you my name one last time. Szayel Aporro.” Szayel watched as Renji rolled his eyes and shrugged.
“Yea, whatever. What are you doing here Gin?” Renji asked as he ignored Szayel's answer. Szayel's eye twitched as he watched the group of people just completely ignore his name.
“Nothing much, but to give this letter to your principle. You see our principle has noticed the fire and wanted to help with as much as he can.” Gin said as he walked to where there principle Shigeku stood. The man was old put had a powerful look to him as well. They saw as their principle nodded and wandered over to speak to Rukia's teacher Jushiro although she herself would've preferred Kaien, sadly he was murdered. Jushiro seemed a little reluctant, but it seemed he gave in. He immediately went over to Soifon who went to Byakuya who did not look happy but nodded anyways. Suddenly Byakuya came over to Toshiro and whispered something in his ear and walked away. Toshiro looked furious, he being so young, but holding a high rank in the school as somewhat a teacher slash student person had trouble holding in his anger.
“What is it?” Ichigo asked. He was really curious as what seemed to be traveling through the high authority that quickly. Ichigo still felt funny acting like a student in front of other students so he didn't, which often got him in trouble. Toshiro was indeed his teacher, but he didn't really have to act so grown up.
“We are to merge schools.” Toshiro said before he walked off. Ichigo looked furious, Renji looked sort of pissed, Rukia seemed like she understood, Rangiku looked slightly uncomfortable, and Orihime just shrugged it off. They didn't bother to go after Toshiro looking at the direction he was going he was probably going to visit Momo at the hospital.
“Well lets go Inoue might as will just go chill at your house for a bit.” Rukia said as she grabbed Orihime's arm and dragged her off. Orihime barely have time to shout out to Rangiku if she wanted to join.

The three girls arrived at Orihime's apartment and Orihime fumbled for her key. She let out a small cry as Rukia snatched the right key from her hands and opened the door for her before tossing it back and rushing to the couch. Orihime could tell that Rukia was slightly unnerved so she didn't bother to shout at her about manners this time. She went to her room to let down her hair and take off her shoes, double checking that her clips were still in place.
Orihime came to her kitchen only to see Rangiku rummaging through the cabinets.
“What ya doin?” Orihime asked. Rangiku turned around quickly only to bump her head on the counter.
“Oh I don't know…looking for the sake!” Rangiku said as she turned back to what she was doing. “I know you got some in here, I can smell it.”
“Rangiku it's in the cabinet next to that.” Orihime stated as she went to sit next to Rukia who was now watching the news with there burning school on the screen. Rukia shook her head not particularly understanding the situation.
“Why would somebody burn down the school?” Rukia asked.
“I don't know, maybe somebody doesn't like us?” Orihime said.
“But the only enemies we have are across the street at Hueco Mundo.” Rukia stated.
“Yea, but the only enemies in Hueco Mundo that we have seems to be the `Espada'.” Orihime said in quotes. It was a funny name to her. She knew that they were dangerous but they never really threatened her. Well Grimmjow has in attempts to go out with her, but they weren't really `I'm going to kill your whole family if you don't go out with me.' They were more of `I'll be sure to make you fail all of your classes if you don't go out with me.' type of threats. So honestly she had no reason to actually hate them.
“Yes, and they are not enemies you would want.” Rukia said as she reached for her phone that was ringing. “Yes…of course!...I'll see you in 15 minutes…bye!” Rukia ran out the house saying something about movies and Renji. Orihime giggled and shook her head at her crazy friend.
THUMP!
Orihime jumped only to see a drunken Rangiku on the floor. Orihime frowned at her friend and attempted to lift her, but Orihime was lacking in strength so she settled on dragging her. She managed to drag her into the living room before she herself tripped on her rug and fell on her butt. Rangiku mumbled something that sounded an awful like Gin.
“Gin what?” Orihime found herself asking. She knew she shouldn't pry while Rangiku was in this state, but she didn't know much about the mysterious Gin, so she was curious to find out.
“Left me.” Rangiku mumbled and opened her eyes. “He hurt me…emotionally.” Rangiku got up and sat on the couch. “We we're old friends…and lovers.”
“And seeing him today kind of brought back old memories.” Orihime understood where Rangiku was getting at and if she didn't want to continue then she didn't have to. “Ummm, would you like some dinner?” Orihime got up as she went over to her kitchen. When she heard the small reply of agreement she began to make something so that Rangiku could feel better.

The next day everybody put on their regular uniforms and met in front of the Hueco Mundo school. The guys seemed to burn with anger as the girls just shrugged it off and walked alongside the guys. Rangiku stood beside Toshiro in a sisterly fashion, while Renji hugged Rukia close with his arm wrapped around her waist. Rukia hated it when he got possessive and Orihime knew nothing good could come from this day, especially when they got their new schedules and found they only had one class with all of them together. The rest was either they were alone or had one other person with them.
Orihime hurried off to find her locker. She felt very awkward seeing as her locker was on the top floor, and it didn't seem that anybody from her school was on this floor. Hueco Mundo was a large school, and was at least five floors, maybe even six.
Orihime found her locker and soon found that she was right, she was the only person from her school with a locker on this floor. She also found it odd that she didn't have to share a locker with any student she had it all to herself. `Guess I just got lucky.'
Orihime got stuff for her first class and opened her locker only to find Ulquiorra in the locker next to her. She let out a startled yelp. Ulquiorra she gave her a blank face.
“Oh, sorry I didn't hear you come over here.” Orihime stated.
“That's fine. May I see your schedule it's a very large school maybe I can help you around.” Ulquiorra asked. `I already know your schedule,it's the same as mine since I was given the assignment to watch over you.'
“Oh, sure. Thank you.” Orihime was a little shocked. It was the most he's ever spoken to her and she was surprised to hear his voice. It was deep and relaxing. She found herself liking his voice and found the need to hear him use it a little more often.
“You shouldn't have a problem. You have the same schedule as I do. Just follow me.” Ulquiorra said before he turned down the large white hallway. Orihime made quick work in following him, it wasn't a surprise since at Shinigami she had found Rukia in the exact same way, and they too had the same schedule.
Ulquiorra went down the stairs until they were on the second floor. This was the floor where Orihime had parted with Rukia. He stopped in front of a large black door and pushed it open with ease. Inside Orihime found herself in a room with Ishida who was being bothered by this girl with violet hair and a yoyo. Although it was just her luck that Grimmjow happened to have been in the room as well.
“Is the little Quincy getting frustrated?” asked the violet haired girl. She dropped the yoyo in front his face and as he grabbed for it she brought back up quickly so he wouldn't grab it.
“Cirucci leave me alone.” Ishida finally said after his fifth try. The girl laughed and took her seat behind him and she finally noticed the two that entered the room. “Well hey Ulquiorra!” Ishida looked in the direction of them and waved. Orihime smiled and waved back. Cirucci frowned at the little display, and Orihime giggled. Cirucci first glared at her then began to laugh as well. Ulquiorra who had saw the whole thing remained quiet and took his seat next to Cirucci and pulled out a seat next to him. Orihime sat and found herself in between Grimmjow once again. She shook her head, it was going to be a long day, especially when a girl with long black hair in long pigtails grimaced at her.
She felt somebody's hand on her thigh. She didn't have to look to know who it was, she grabbed his finger and bent it back as far she could which was pretty far, abut not far enough to break it. She heard a low grunt of pain and felt him move his hand away from her and she shook her head. `A very long day indeed.'
It was lunch and Ulquiorra pulled her to a table with people in which she didn't completely feel comfortable with at the moment. She was sitting with the rest of the Espada including Grimmjow. It was apparent that all the Espada have clothing in which they each show a spot where they have a tattoo of a number. Ulquiorra didn't show his so Orihime wasn't so sure about him. It seemed that if you had a tattoo of a number you were considered popular and not to be bothered with. The one with the smallest number was apparently the best. Even though Ulquiorra didn't show a number people cowered away from him.
The guy with the lowest number present had the number 1 and he was a lazy ass in Orihime's dictionary. His name is Stark. He has shoulder length black hair and a gotee. Also there is a girl that always follows him around her name Lilinette. She is known as an Arrancar like all non-Espada people. `It's funny that they seem to call us Soul Reapers or Shinigami behind our backs. And they seem to really hate us.'
The second Espada is a girl named Halibel she has dark skin and blonde hair. She was quiet and has a nice attitude, but the thing that bothered Orihime the most was the type of clothes she wore. They were just so…revealing. Orihime also didn't quite understand the school `uniforms'. They all had the same style, and color, they were just never the same. Everybody had something different, and Halibel's showed the bottom half of her breast. It was really grating on Orihime's nerves, but as long as Halibel felt okay with it then maybe it was okay with her. Not.
The third one was not a student but a history teacher his name was Barragan. He was an old man and Orihime doesn't like him. He was just like any other cranky old man except more demanding and intimidating. But one thing Orihime did like about was he was more laid back and relaxed.
Orihime has never seen anybody with the fourth number and always wondered if it were somebody she's known. She couldn't help but be curious about the mysterious 4.
The fifth guy was Nnoitra. Nnoitra was intimidating at first glance because of how tall he was. Orihime found him nerve wracking because of the grin that was always plastered on his face. What really shook her was that the grin always seemed to grow in size and never faltered. Orihime looked around the table only to see Nnoitra staring at her with that crazy grin of his. `What's his problem?' Nnoitra has long black hair with black eyes and he always seemed to hunch over, but that was probably her imagination.
The sixth used to be Grimmjow. Orihime knew this because once Ichigo had fought him before his shirt ripped and his number came into view. Unfortunately Grimmy was burned and it covered the six and he was less important. Orihime hated how that worked. It made her want to go up to Grimmjow and heal him, but she couldn't do that it would be like betraying her friends. The current wielder of the six was Luppi. The feminine looking freak. He had short black hair that was curled around his head making him look even more like a girl. His eyes were violet and that only added to his female disposition, but he was vicious and it was sort of scary. Luppi even sounded like a girl the only thing that would be proof enough that he was a guy is the way his pants slightly bulges when he looks at Rangiku. Orihime shuddered at the thought.
The number seven Espada is Zommari Leroux. He was a tall dark skinned guy with a Mohawk. He was quiet at all time it seemed. Orihime never seen him open his mouth once except to eat. But he seemed kind since he picked up her books when she dropped them once. `That was pretty embarrassing.'
The eighth Espada was Szayel Aporro Granz. The pink haired, glasses wearing, genius was incredibly annoying. The way he talked, the way he bragged, the way he flipped his hair, the way he walks, the way he thinks he's superior to everybody, and the way he laughs just really annoys her! He was annoying in every freaking way possible!
The ninth Espada Aaroniero always wore a long hood so the you couldn't see his face. Either the hood or the mask. His laugh was loud and irritating and Orihime never even bothered to pay much attention to him.
The tenth Espada in which Orihime thought they only went up to nine was Yammy. Yammy was another dark skinned guy with a black ponytail. He was big and built and also a big fluffy teddy bear inside. Although the way he eats could tell you otherwise. But you could also tell that he was one of the least respected Espada.
The one Espada that didn't get any respect by the other Espada what so ever was Neliel or Nel. She had long flowing green hair but didn't even have a number. But somehow she always seemed to smile. Orihime made quick friends with her.
“Inoue exactly what are you doing over here with them?” Rukia asked as she was walking past the table.
“That's really none of your goddamn business!” Grimmjow stated.
“It is since you've been trying to get in my friends pants for a while now!” Rukia said. Orihime giggled at that one. Grimmjow glared at her and she had to try her best to hold it in.
“Lets go Orihime.” Came Ichigo's voice.
“She's here now get over it!” Grimmjow yelled.
“She's probably here because you forced her. Now lets go Orihime.” Ichigo said. Orihime was about to get her things and go but one look from Ulquiorra and she stopped. She didn't know why but he gave her a stern look and it was like she was stuck.
“Come on Orihime what's taking you?” Came Ichigo's voice again.
“Perhaps she doesn't want you commanding her to go somewhere.” Said Ulquiorra.
“I'll do and say whatever I want.” Ichigo said, and to Orihime he was taking it a little too far. Rukia seemed to be thinking along the same lines as she gave Ichigo one of her what the hell are you doing looks.
“As much as I want her to come with us demanding that she come is not the way to do it.” Rukia said trying her best not to get an attitude with Ichigo. Ichigo glared at her, he wasn't in the mood. For some reason being around Grimmjow angered him and his presence wasn't helping much.
“Exactly.” Started Ulquiorra. “Have you ever thought that maybe she doesn't want to leave?”
“And why would she want to stay over hear near Grimmy?” Ichigo asked curious of what the pale man would say. Grimmjow growled at the use of the name.
“And what makes you think she's here to see Grimmjow?” Ulquiorra asked with a raised eyebrow. `Why anybody would want to be with that weak Grimmjow is beyond me.'
“And why wouldn't she be?” Grimmjow asked. Orihime wanted to laugh at what he was thinking. She would never go anywhere just to be with Grimmy. The only reason why she was still sitting was because of the way Ichigo was acting and the man none as Ulquiorra. He was a puzzle the girl couldn't solve and she was very curious about him.
“Do you want to ask her?” Ulquiorra asked.
“Maybe we should.” Grimmjow stated. “Why wouldn't you be here to see me Inoue?”
“Uhhh…” Orihime started lamely. `Are they seriously asking me this?!' Orihime looked at the faces around her and found that they were truly curious. So she decided to answer truthfully so no rumors would start. “Because, I'm not remotely interested in you in any way.”
Ichigo bust out laughing. Nnoitra's grin grew. Yammy was booming with laughter. Luppi looked slightly disgusted. Ulquiorra didn't show emotion. Rukia smiled. Szayel smirked. Halibel just looked at Orihime and even though you couldn't see her mouth due to her collar you could tell she was smiling. Stark awoke from his sleep and looked blank. Zommari looked at Grimmjow and studied his face. Nel looked at Orihime wide eyed for her boldness, and Ulquiorra showed no emotion. Grimmjow was fuming.
“What was that?” He asked in a low threatening tone. Orihime eyes widened a small fraction.
“You heard her.” Ichigo said still laughing.
“I wasn't talking to you Kurosaki!” Grimmjow was pissed. Orihime was getting scared. Ulquiorra took this as the time to try and avoid the oncoming fight.
“You can not blame her for speaking the truth.” Ulquiorra said looking at Grimmjow. He silently gave this girl her props for being bold. Not many women would say no to Grimmjow simply because of his temper and strength. Yes Grimmjow was weaker than Ulquiorra but stronger than many others. The girl was bold.
“Yea, whatever.” Grimmjow said. “I've had better girls anyways.” Grimmjow then walked away with a scowl.
“He'll get over it.” Ichigo said. “He's gonna go find him a bitch that he can take his frustrations away with.” And true enough Grimmjow walked over to that very same girl with the long black pigtails who smiled at him. But in her eyes not only was there a deep longing, but fear as well.
“What I tell ya?” Ichigo asked. Rukia rolled her eyes.
“As much as you hate that guy you sure do know a lot of what he does.” Rukia said. The rest of the Espada seemed to have all of their attention on Orihime and she felt a little self conscious under there gaze. She scooted towards the safest person closest to her and that happened to be Ulquiorra. He gazed at her as if she were crazy. `Once again she's found comfort in me. How the hell does she do that? Everybody's uncomfortable around me!'
“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” Was all Ichigo said. He noticed Orihime move towards the Ulquiorra guy and wondered what the hell she was doing. He was tired of standing around and would love to sit. “You coming Orihime?”
“I think I'll stay. Thanks anyways Kurosaki-kun.” Orihime then began to eat. She was still pissed at Ichigo for thinking that he could demand her to do every thing he asked. He angered her and she didn't want to be near him at the moment.
“What?” Ichigo asked. He really couldn't believe what he was hearing.
“I said I'm going to stay and eat lunch hear!” Orihime said. She turned to face Ichigo. “But Thank You for asking!” Ichigo gave her this look, but didn't say anything to her. He could only guess that she was mad at him. It was weird to have the sweet and innocent Orihime angry at Ichigo. He nodded and walked away, he didn't want to stay long enough to beat Szayel's ass who was giving him this smug look. Rukia stayed and gave Orihime a look that said be careful. She could understand why Orihime didn't want to sit with Ichigo, if it was Rukia she would've slapped the hell out of him, but this was the sweet Orihime she was dealing with. Rukia then walked to the table where her boyfriend and her friends were waiting.

Orihime closed her locker and nearly ran into Ulquiorra. She looked up at him surprised that he was still there.
“May I walk you home?” He asked her. Orihime blinked a couple of times before smiling.
“Sure.” Orihime said and they walked down the hall together. When they reached the bottom of the steps Orihime could see Ichigo about to fight Grimmjow……again. Orihime shook her head and gave a worried glance in his direction. Ulquiorra paid no mind to the two and kept on walking but went a different direction than the door. Orihime watched as a full out brawl went on between Rangiku, Toshiro, Yumichika, Ikkaku, and Renji fought Luppi and Yammy. Rukia was nowhere in sight.
Orihime tried to make her way over to her friends but somebody grabbed at her arm. She turned to see Ulquiorra. “That is not the best idea.” He said.
“But I have to…”
“Somebody wishes to speak with you, and he does not like to be kept waiting.” Ulquiorra said cutting her off.
“Well he's gonna have to wait!” Orihime again tried to go to her friends but this time she was practically dragged away from the sight.
“That is not an option.” Ulquiorra said as he continued to drag Orihime. She looked up at Ulquiorra in disbelief. What can be so important that he had to drag her away? `Why is he suddenly so cold?'
Ulquiorra brought Orihime in front of two large silver doors. He knocked and awaited an answer. A muffled `What' was heard from the other side.
“I have brought the girl Aizen-sama.” Ulquiorra stated.
“Bring her in.” Came the voice of this so called Aizen. Orihime did not like where this was going at all. Ulquiorra pushed open the doors and pushed Orihime inside. This moment would change Orihime's life forever.
Orihime looked around the dark room. The room looked large, but you couldn't really tell because of the darkness. She felt a chill come from her back and was suddenly aware of the fact that Ulquiorra was not in the room. Even though he being so rude to her, and forced her into this room, she would love to have him at the moment.
“Miss Inoue.” Came a voice from the man across the room. Around him was the only light in the whole room.
“Y-yes?” Orihime stammered. She was scared, she didn't know who the man was, and she didn't know what he was going to do with her.
“Don't be so scared girl. I have a request that you will make.” Aizen said. Orihime relaxed a bit. `A request that I will make? What makes him think that I will make this request?'
“I will?” Orihime asked.
“Yes, you have no choice in the matter.” Aizen chuckled. “Well of course you have a choice, but I do hope you will not make the wrong one.”
“And what exactly is this request?” Orihime asked. She was getting very skeptical and suspicious about this whole situation.
“It's simple really. You will leave your whole life behind you and come with us to start a new one.”
“Wha…”
“And in this new life you will use your powers to benefit us.” He finished.
“Benefit us? Who are us exactly?” Orihime asked.
“All of the Hallows of course, and me.” Aizen told her. Orihime wondered if the hallows were the students in the school, seeing as they were often called hallows.
“So you want me to help Hallows, and Arrancar, and Espada?” Orihime asked, seeing if she got it right.
“It seems that you know a little about them already.” Aizen said. Orihime simply blinked. To say that she was blank was an understatement. She was completely lost, she never knew much about the hallows, except that her brother was considered one of them.
“Ah so that is all you know.” Aizen said slightly surprised seeing as she seemed particularly close to Ichigo Kurosaki. Orihime did not answer so he continued.
“Hallows are pretty much people who has died and did not cross over to the other world. They stay behind because there is something that is holding them back. Usually if they stay behind they turn into hateful creatures. Hallows have to live even after death and to do that they must feed themselves.” Aizen said.
“Wh-what exactly do th-they eat?” Orihime asked, and she regretted it immediately.
“Honestly, I'm surprised that Ichigo didn't tell you anything. Or all of your other friends as well. They know almost everything about these hallows, but since you don't know, I will have to tell you myself.” Aizen began. “Hallows feed on human souls.”
Orihime's eyes widened. Then she suddenly remembered that night when her brother died, that night when Ichigo saved her from her brother after his death. That night when her own brother tried to kill her. She suddenly remembered Rukia and how she is a Soul Reaper and how she was to be executed, and remembered Ishida and Chad, and everybody else. She even remembered how to use these powers that she had. She knew she had them, but she could never figure out how to use it.
`Why does he want my power? What exactly can he do with it? I just know how to heal, nothing else. What does want with me?!'
“I will not help you.” Orihime said. Surprisingly she said that with absolutely no fear in her eyes. Aizen grinned evilly.
“Yes you will.” He said.
“What makes you thing that I would help hallows destroy all of the Shinigami and the earth?” Orihime asked. How she knew that she doesn't know. `I guess it all just came back to me.'
“The fact that we have all your friends in a live or die situation, and we obviously have the upper hand.” Aizen said.
“What are you talking about?” Orihime asked. Suddenly a big screen popped up in the behind Aizen. The screen showed a split screen video on her friends and there fight that was currently happening. Grimmjow was beating up Ichigo, and had one arm. Ichigo looked like he was about to die at any minute. Rukia herself was nowhere to be seen. Her other friends seemed to be in a fight of there own. Toshiro was missing as well and by the way that his team looks she could only guess that either he was badly injured, or dead himself.
Then it hit her. Right now out of all of her friends Toshiro Hitsugaya is the strongest. If he was down, and Ichigo was about dead then the Espada could very well kill them all, and still be breathing just fine, or at least still be standing up straight. `And their lives are in my hands. If I refuse this `request' then my friends will die. I have to do as they say.'
Orihime was defeated. She didn't want to go but she had no other choice, she wouldn't let her friends die because she refused to leave her life behind. It would be hard to start a new life, but I have to get used to it.
“I-I accept.” Orihime said.
“I knew you would.” Aizen looked at the girl who was still standing. Such a fragile girl held tremendous power. “Ulquiorra.” Just then the doors opened to reveal Ulquiorra. He looked passed Orihime towards Aizen.
“The girl has accepted. Call of the fights, and take her away.” Aizen said before he disappeared behind some hidden door that Orihime hadn't seen before. Ulquiorra looked down at her for a while before turning around. “Come”.

To say he was surprised was an understatement. Ulquiorra had half expected the girl to break down and cry, but to his surprise she stood strong. Or so it seemed. Right now they were traveling through a place where only hallows dared to go. Shinigami at times, but usually they never got there way back and were trapped here forever. They were now in the real Hueco Mundo. Where there was no real sunlight, but one where Aizen has made especially for the Arrancar. The place was huge, and the buildings were all white. There was no black in sight except for there outfits. Orihime still had to continue school at this new place; she just hoped that her friends at home were okay.
She had to live with Ulquiorra, which at first was a bit weird, but she soon got used to it. He had two separate bedrooms, but they had to share bathrooms, which was absolutely annoying. You'd think that women would take forever in the bathroom!
Orihime had actually made some friends. She had found out that the school back at home had disappeared the second she had left. The people that were left were the Shinigami students. There school was repaired soon after, and now they continue school there. Her best friends ended up being Cirucci, and Nel. They were really cool and nice girls. Cirucci was the tough one, Nel was the quiet one, and Orihime was the loud one. They were a perfect match.
Apparently Aizen, even after five months doesn't want her out of Ulquiorra's sight. He goes everywhere with her. It was bad enough when he had to tutor her, since she was absolutely terrible at math, he wouldn't let that ever leave his memory. She was surprised to find out that Ulquiorra was pretty cool in his own quiet and frustrating way. But he's still a cool guy none the less. `Not to mention extremely sexy!' Orihime giggled at her thoughts. She had figured that out a long time ago. She had walked in on him while he was in the shower and man oh man! Thankfully he had a towel on, but he had become the most favored item of her dreams after that. It was then that the mysterious 4 was Ulquiorra, which wasn't surprising at all. His tattoo was on his chest on the left.
BRRIIINNNG!
The bell rang and Orihime was up and out of her seat within a blink of an eye. She went to her locker and grabbed her white bag. As soon as she closed her locker a hand wrapped around her arm. Orihime immediately tensed.
“Aizen-sama wishes to see you over dinner, so we have to make sure you are presentable.” Ulquiorra said.
“What!” Orihime said. Ulquiorra didn't say anything as he dragged her through the halls. On her way out she caught a glimpse of that girl with the long black hair in ponytails again. She gave a vicious grin and the blonde girl next to her only smirked. Orihime shuddered and allowed Ulquiorra to take her to there home.
When they got there Orihime dressed in a white dress, seeing as that was the only color she owned now. The dress was a long gown to be specific. She had to where white high heels and she put her hair up into a bun.
Ulquiorra then led her to the huge palace in the middle of the whole city. It wasn't a really long walk since all the Espada had to live close in case they were ever summoned, but her feet really did hurt, seeing as she had to walk in high heels. When they got inside Ulquiorra led her to a seat which ironically was right next to Grimmjow. Gin was sitting at the table as well and Orihime couldn't help but think of Rangiku. She wondered how her long lost friend could love somebody such as Gin; he was just a very suspicious person. But then again Rangiku always picked the weird ones.
The room was silenced as Aizen walked into the room. He looked around the room and smirked once his eyes landed on Orihime. Ulquiorra himself didn't know what Aizen was planning, but for some reason he did not like the way Aizen was looking at Orihime. Ulquiorra couldn't really put a finger on the way Aizen was looking at her, but he wished to know since it was getting on his last nerves the ways that look was making him feel.
“I have something to show you all before we start dinner.” Aizen said, and soon everybody's face became one of curiousness. “Grimmjow come here.” Grimmjow raised an eyebrow, but complied. “You as well Inoue-san.” Orihime became extremely nervous, but she made her way up to Aizen as well.
“Inoue-san will heal Grimmjow's arm.” Aizen said, and Orihime looked stunned. `What?!'
