Emerald Sun

The next morning she woke up to feel the stare boring in on her body. She sat up to see Ulquiorra. He was sitting in the corner of the room just waiting silently for her to awaken. She gasped in surprise " U-ulquiorra-san!" She covered herself up. " How long have you been there?!"



"For a while."



"R-really?I didn\'t do anything silly...or...-



"You were restless, but you slept sound for the most part." He assured raising to his feet.He walked to her bed slowly, more slow then usual. She tilted her head a bit to the side, letting her auburn fall over her shoulders. She focused on his movements and was surprised when he reached her bed he fell on his knees. Trying to catch himself he brought his arm close to his body when it was to late. He fell face first into the bed.



"ULQUIORRA-SAN?!" She gasped sitting up more and moving to his side. " What happen?" She asked in disbelief.



"You were not supposed to wake up so soon." He stuttered.



"Ulquiorra-san what happened?" She urged leaning closer. She brought her fingers to his hair and moved it behind his ear. He was about to speak but she shook her head and put her fingers on his pale lips. " Do not speak. Let me heal you first." She urged moving her hands quickly to her head.



He lifted his hand up and pulled hand down " Orihime. You don\'t have to do that. I will heal within a couple hours." He spoke.



"I haven\'t even looked under your clothes. How can that be?! You have internal-



"I heal on my own. The only thing that can not regenerate is my internal organs."



"But I just said that they seem to be hurt!"



Ulquiorra turned his vision away from the girl and spoke low " I have been hurt Internally...but its in an area that doesn\'t have organs."



It took her a couple seconds to understand what he was talking about but when she got it she looked at him " You were hurt last night...from who?!" She asked in a very serious tone.



"Its nothing new."



"W-what do you mean?"



"They use me and I let them use me..." He said in a cold and ashamed voice. If you hadn\'t been around Ulquiorra you would not have noticed the fluctuation in his voice. But she picked it up and leaned over him, cradling his head gently.



She had been scarred by the one time she was raped and Ulquiorra was being raped often? She felt sick even thinking of it and that is when she understood why he blindly followed Aizen. Why he had lost hope in himself and emotion. He turned his emotions off and the only thing he showed was his cold silence. She began to shudder letting tears fall down her cheeks. Her orange hair draped over him shielding him from the light. His eyes widened and he looked up feeling the tears trickle down his face and onto his own. He didn\'t understand why she was crying, but it was an overwhelming feeling of a flood making him drown inside. He felt his body overflowing with all kinds of things that he didn\'t understand but he didn\'t show it still. He brought his weak arms to her face. He awkwardly laced his fingers into her hair and began to massage her gently. She stopped crying and whispered " I am never going home am I?" She spoke quietly into his face. She was hovering over his forehead.



His answer tickled her neck and chin " I don\'t know." He spoke the truth.



She leaned forward letting her head rest on him, her salt stained face burned but she didn\'t react towards the pain. The two sat there in probably the most intimate position either have ever achieved willingly. She could feel her heart pounding out of her chest into a rhythm in which she wondered if Ulquiorra\'s matched her own. She didn\'t ask, she hardly ever brought up the word anymore. He didn\'t seem to understand it.



He finally shut his eyes and spoke " May I rest next to you?"



"Sure." She spoke sitting up bringing her hair to a tamable distance from his face. He moved under the covers near her. She turned to her side facing him and brought her arm up in a childish manner and let it sit there. He mimicked her and opened his eyes to look into her own. For once she did not turn away from his stare, she understood him better. His eyes were no longer piercing, they were glowing and reaching out for some form of warmth. He didn\'t move his stare away from her, he watched her as her lids opened and closed. It didn\'t seem like he did either of the two often, he was different then humans. She finally smiled at him and closed her eyes and fell into a slumber. Ulquiorra brought his hand up to hers and went to touch her fingers but pulled back with cold feet. His eyes concentrated a bit and he finally moved his hand around her own and he sat there. He didn\'t understand the things that were occurring in his body or head but he liked the warmth he felt from her. So he sat there, Emerald eyes feeling her warmth, his Auburn Sun.
