Inoue bit her lip and balled her fists as worry etched on her gentle face. Her hand moved over her heart as she watched Ulquiorra close his eyes and stretch out his arms. Her vision was hazy with glistening tears collecting as she watched Ichigo, Renji and Chad readying their attack. Her soul was screaming to help him.

Ulquiorra glanced at the girl from the corner of his eye trying to ignore her pitiful emotional state. He stood tall closing his eyes, steeling himself for the pain that was sure to come. The whipping winds of power in the air let him know that they were about to strike. He was doing this for her sake, but her eyes could not see it that way.

He grit his teeth and sucked in a breath.

After a few minutes of waiting he cracked open a curious green eye to find that he was surrounded by a sheer pink protective bubble. He could see Inoue shouting and pointing at Ichigo, Chad, Renji and Urahara as she rubbed her eyes. Apparently the bubble was sound proof, because he had no idea what on earth they were saying.

Pop.

“I don't care! I can't let you do this to him!”
Inoue yelled stomping her feet like a two year old child.

“What's the problem? If he dies you can always go fetch his spirit like before.”
Renji shrugged

“That…that is just a horrible thing to say…You…You mean person.”
Inoue scolded crossing her arms.

“Orihime, we have already discussed this.”
Ulquiorra said dusting the sand off his butt from his fall from the bubble.

Inoue dashed over and threw her arms around his waist.
“I…I can't watch you get hurt again.” She sobbed.

“Hime, the best way to jump start his power is by having him at the brink of death.” Urahara said walking over.

“It's true. I mean every time I almost die I find some new power.”
Ichigo said leaning on his zanpakuto.

Everyone gave him a blank stare and shook their heads.
“Luck is not a skill.” Ulquiorra rebuked.

“Hey, I still got your ass last time.”
Ichigo smirked, but the look vanished when he caught Inoue's hurt expression.

“Any…way…Hime, look here.”
Urahara said and the second she turned he slapped a sticker on her head.

A shocked Ulquiorra froze as the girl went limp in his arms. “What did you do to her?”

The others rushed over to see.
“She better be okay.” Ulquiorra said low and threatening still cradling her.

“She will be fine. I created this as a sleep aid for people who don't like to swallow pills.” Urahara smiled

“That's great and all, but how do you wake up?”
Renji asked grabbing one of the stickers of a sleeping panda beer.

“You just have to take it off to wake up.”
Urahara said as the group went silent in thought.

“How does one take it off if they are sleeping?”
Ulquiorra asked the question on all their minds.

“Huh, don't know. I had not thought of that.”
Urahara replied tapping his fan on his chin.

Ulquiorra closed his eyes and inhaled trying not to slaughter the strange shinigami.

Inoue had been furious when her eyes popped open in the dream realm, but that was fine if she was hindering him. She drifted through the different dreams in search of the same place that Ulquiorra had found. Since Aizen was demanding something from her body then he should be dealing directly with her.

She zigged and zagged through the desert unsure of where she was headed. The one thing that she was sure of was that Aizen was somewhere in this place. An icy wind shot down her back and she turned to find Aizen.

“Well, if it isn't my future daughter in-law.”
Aizen laughed which causing Inoue to give a nervous giggle.

“Aizen-sama, fancy seeing you here.” Inoue said in her most normal voice as possible.

“I could say the same to you.” He leered walking closer to the mentally shivering girl.

“I hear that you want a grandchild. Does that mean that you are changing you ways?” Inoue asked

“Why would I ever change my ways. I kind of like the way I am and I must say the ladies love me.”

This reminded Inoue of what he had done.

“How…How could you do that to your children?” She asked looking away from him in disgust.

“Come now, you only really care about one of my children. The others could have been beaten or raped daily for all you care.” Aizen said with a wave of his hand. Inoue cringed in guilt for letting the others remain in darkness.

“I…I um, I only wanted to save to save Ulquiorra.” She said weakly staring at her shoes.

Aizen relished in her defeated look. “Kind of makes you a bad person, now doesn't”

Inoue blinked recalling the others, but their souls had not reached out to her. “Ulquiorra was different than them.”

“So sure of your precious Ulquiorra? Think that he is better than me? Think he will beat me?” He asked

Inoue's eyes shot up to meet his. “You know everything don't you?”

Aizen grabbed her by the neck and pulled her face within inches.
“If you do not do as I say I will rip his mind apart and give that new body of his to some of my remaining pets to defile in front of you girl.”

“Don't hurt him…please…I will do it.”
Inoue shrieked as she tried to pry his hands off her neck.

Aizen exhaled releasing the girl to fall into a heap in the sand.

“You know what? To prove to you that I am not so bad of a guy I will not bother him while he trains to defeat me.”

“What is the catch?” Inoue rasped out still feeling the effects from the choke.

“I will allow him one year girl, but only if you are impregnated.” Aizen said in his holy than thou voice.

“I swear that if he beats you that you will have no realm to run to.” Inoue said venomously.

Aizen chuckled leaning down to watch her cower.
“When he dies I will make sure that you can not bring him back.”

She could feel her body waking, but before she disappeared Aizen grabbed her hair and crushed his mouth onto hers.

“You were supposed to be mine girl.”
Aizen said licking his lips, but she shot him the `not in any lifetime' look.

She shot up in the bed happy that Ulquiorra was not back from training. She needed time to cool off and calm down after that meeting. She cast her eyes out the window to see that the sun was setting coloring the sky in golds and oranges. She brought her knees up to her chest and leaned her head down upon them.

“Please don't let him fail.” Inoue whispered as a single tear tread down her cheek.

Inoue nervously entered the dark seedy bar with her eyes focused on the floor. The place had gone midnight cemetery silent until a woman punched her husband for staring. She could feel the drunken lustful eyes of the men undressing her in their minds. She clinched her fists and raised her head as the image of her Ulquiorra came to mind. She took a deep breath and walked with confidence over to the bartender.

“What can I get you?” The bartender asked with a wide toothless grin as he dried a glass.

“One hooker…Please.” She said it as if she was ordering a panda beer.

She could hear the whisper of the slim man beside her.
“Lesbians, It's always the good ones.”

“My wife left me for another woman.”
A fat man in a little shirt on the other side of her said.

“Your wife didn't leave you. She just called telling you to get your ass home!”
The bartender barked

“A man can dream, can't he?” The man cried grabbing his jacket and moving off his stool.

“Umm, excuse me.”
Inoue interjected to remind the bartender that she was still waiting for an answer.

The bartender leaned down.
“Madame is in the back corner. Can't miss her, she lays her breast across the table.”

Inoue thanked him making a mental note of the breast on the table thing. Her journey was short, but painful as every man that she passed pinched her ass. Inoue found the woman sleeping at the table and using her rather large breast as pillows. Inoue cleared her throat to wake the woman up without being rude.

The woman slurred and cursed as she slowly raised her head giving Inoue a started look. “Orihime” she ghosted.

Inoue tilted her head at the unfamiliar woman. “Do I know you?”
Inoue smiled taking a seat beside her.

A bitter sweet smile half appeared on the madam's face.
“I knew your mother…When she was young and hopeful.”

“Oh, I have not seen my mother or father in long time.”
Inoue replied fidgeting with her fingers.

“You're better off that way.” The madame mumbled snapping her fingers for the waitress.

“I need your professional help, because I am clueless on something.”
Inoue said biting her lip.

The woman looked back at the girl after placing her order.
“Honey, I aint some financial advisor. I'm a madam.”

“I need you to teach me how to seduce a man so that I can get pregnant.”
Inoue blurted out causing the bar to once again fall into a dead silence. The madame shot them all a glare telling them to mind their own business.

“One look from you should seduce any man. Well, unless he is dead or gay.”
The woman shrugged in memory.

Inoue furrowed her brows trying to find her next words.
“And if he were one of those. Is there any help.”

The woman gave the determined girl a look of `are you serious' and then sighed. The madame started to make a list of things that she could do to try and seduce the man. Orihime had pulled out a notebook and made sure to star things that she thought would be extra important. Once the woman finished she wished the girl luck.

The madame watched as Inoue slipped out the door as the waitress walked over with another drink.

“Cute girl, I was surprised you didn't push her into working for you.”
The waitress smiled.

The madame looked down into her drink as a tear slipped.
“Yeah, that was my daughter.” She rasped.

The waitress's eyes widened in shock, but softened feeling sorry the woman.

“Next one is on me.” The waitress said walking away to give the woman some time alone.

Inoue had returned to the shop with a bag full of tricks and a bag of lingerie. She decided that the best time would be after she healed him and the others were sleeping. She simply had to wait and study her technique.

Be confident and mysterious

Inoue looked at herself in the mirror. Trying to make a confident stare, but it looked more like constipated.

She was also finding it hard to see with the pitch black sunglasses she was wearing.

Use seductive voice.

“Hello Ulquiorra.”
She said deep and low, sounding more like a transvestite than a young girl.

It was at then that Ulquiorra had entered the room freshly bathed and healed.

Seductive clothes

That had been the easiest part for her so far. She did look amazing in the cute little green satin cupped babydoll with matching g-string. She had even dabbed a touch of glitter to her already noticeable breast.

Be flirty

“You know I have always thought that you were really hot.”
She said in the same manish voice.

Ulquiorra's eyes twinkled with laughter, but there was no way he was going to interrupt.

Ignore him

Inoue scratched her head in confusion.
“How can I flirt and ignore him?” She aked the mirror.

Ulquiorra couldn't help but smile at the lost look on her face.

Touch him. Like a massage to soothe his pain.

Inoue grabbed a pillow and slowly started to rub and soothe the fluffy item.

“Does that feel good?” Inoue giggled getting into her act.

“I bet I can make you feel even better.” She whispered hotly at the pillow.

Ulquiorra couldn't help it as a chuckle slipped from his lips.
Inoue jumped to her feet startled at the intrusion.

He waved his hand at her. “Please don't stop, because you noticed me here.”

Inoue tossed the sunglasses off to the side and kicked the pillow away.
“How long were you there?” she asked.

“I arrived a little after you started talking like a man.”
Ulquiorra said leaning against the wall.

Inoue's mouth parted as she sighed.
“Well this was all for nothing then.” She mumbled getting to her feet.

“What exactly were you attempting to do?”
He asked taking notice of her clothing or lack there of.

Inoue slumped her shoulders in defeat.
“I was trying to seduce you into sleeping me. You know sex.”
She whispered walking up closer to him with her head down so no one else would hear.

Ulquiorra tilted his head.
“If we have unprotected sex there is an 85% chance that you will get pregnant.”

Inoue chuckled and looked up into his forest green eyes.
“Thank you for the information. I had no idea.”

Ulquiorra realized that she was being sarcastic, but he didn't know why. Inoue moved away from him to look out the window. She rubbed her arms feeling cold because of her barely dressed state. He walked over behind her to wrap his arms around her waist. She leaned back into the warmth that was all Ulquiorra.

“I went to look for Aizen when I was sleeping.”
She said softly feeling his body tense at the name.

He was going to get angry, but he really wasn't surprised.
“and” He said wishing for her to continue.

“He is giving you one year to prepare, but only if I have your baby.”
She said placing her hands on his.

“I see.” Ulquiorra said leaning his chin down on her shoulder.
“What is it that you wish to do Orihime?”

Her hands tightened on his.
“What do I want? I want to get married to a man that loves me with all his heart, I want to have a baby with that man and I want that child to grow knowing what love is.” She replied.

He closed his eyes and exhaled tickling her neck with his breath.
“I would die for you. Is that enough for you?”

“I would rather you live for me, but I will take that as your way of saying that you love me.” She smiled

The couple had been silent at dinner as everyone else shouted and grabbed at the food. Inoue was keeping a firm hold on Ulquiorra's hand underneath the table. He knew that she needed the extra support when facing the others. Strangely enough Inoue thought that it was Ulquiorra who had needed her comforting.

Urahara was also watching them out the corner of his knowing eye. He sat on the porch after dinner waiting for them to come to him. He had raised a hand to stop them from telling an obvious lie in order to sneak out. With no questions asked he opened a portal to another realm. Inoue gasped as the fairy tale like realm came into view.

Flowers of every color, blue skies with only light fluffy clouds, Tall green trees swayed in the breeze and a path,

“There is a cabin at the end of the path. I think you both need some time away from all this. ” Urahara smiled.

“What about the training?"
Ulquiorra asked, but he figured that Urahara already knew what was happening.

“We will have time for that later. You get one week to straighten out you heads and powers.” Urahara said.

Inoue gave the hatted man a hug and then dashed into the unknown realm with Ulquiorra following behind less thrilled by the view than the girl. Urahara's green eyes shined from underneath his hat as he watched the couple with his knowing smile. This week was very important to more than just them.

“Well there they go.” Yoruichi said walking in to take a seat beside the daydreaming man.

“Then again didn't we always know it was going to come down to this?”
Urahara laughed closing the portal.

“It's tricky when dealing with things like this. It can back fire and cause more harm than good.” The cat scowled.

He fake sighed looking down to the cat. “Still no faith in me after all this…time.”
