Okay this is only one chapter, and yet so long. Theres a wonderful Ulquihime moment in there, (I dont own Bleach) The Life In Our Hearts Chapter 7 The girls were all chatting excitedly as they walked to the entrance of their school, the boys behind them. While the girls were busy, Renji and Ichigo were having a quiet contest. Ichigo was eyeing Renji from the corner of his eye, and he could tell, that whenever he wasnt, Renji was doing the same thing. The other day when Renji had spoken to Rukia, there was something different about him, and Ichigo didnt like it. It wasnt that he was jealous, (yeah sure, jealous because he thinks his best friend likes the girl whom he has a crush on), he was just concerned about Renjis feelings. His ears suddenly perked up, causing him to look straight ahead. He noticed that among the girls crowd, there was a foreign hair color. There were two ginger-haired, one brunette, one blonde, one green-haired, and one black-haired. And..Pink? A pink-haired boy, wearing glasses, was walking side-by-side with Nemu. And pretty close at that. Who the hell is that? Ichigo asked aloud. Renji looked to where he was looking, and noticed him too. Oh. Thats Szayel, Nemus classmate. Renji said plainly. It took him a minute or two before he realized what that meant. Wait, what?! He yelled aloud. Ichigo and Renji ran to catch up with the girls. The pink-haired boy, glanced over his shoulder and saw them coming. He whispered something to Nemu, and the two of them left. Ichigo and Renji caught up with them. Kurosaki-kun? Whats wrong? Orihime asked. Thats what Id like to ask. Ichigo said. Who was that guy just now?! Ichigo asked irritatedly. Oh, that was just Szayel. Rangiku said timidly. And what did he want? Renji asked. Oh, he was just asking Nemu if she wanted to study with him later. Nel said. And what did she say? Renji asked. Yes, of course. The girls all said. WHAT?! The two boys yelled in unison. Before they could even blabber and grumble about that matter, they failed to notice another boy, now talking with Momo. Renji noticed him first. Now who are you? He asked almost accusingly. Hm.. Ill see you later then, Momo. He said and walked away. Renji stood there with his mouth wide open, and Ichigo stood there stammering. They both grabbed ahold of Momos shoulders and started shaking her. Who-who the hells was that, M0mo?! They asked. They noticed that Momos face was pink, and shaked her more. I-it was just Toshiro, my classmate. Momo said quietly, her face just getting even pinker. They glanced to the other girls, trying to see if there were other boys trying to get close to them. The bell rang, and the group stood there in awkward silence. Are you two done now? Can we go to class now? Tia asked. Ichigo and Renji let go of Momo, and followed the girls inside the school building, feeling a little uneasy. --In Class A-1 Rukia was discussing something with Ichigo regarding a project they were both working on. But of course Ichigo wasnt really listening. Mr. Shunsui had grouped them in twos again. (The man seemed to like doing it.) And he was happy that he was partnered with Rukia, but he was angry about that fact that Orihime was partnered with Ulquiorra, just like last time. Ichigo sighed, his glare becoming more intense. Ulquiorra didnt seem to be doing anything to Orihime. In fact, the two of them seemed to be getting along well. But it was that fact, that was angering Ichigo. Ichigo, are you even listening? Rukia asked. Ichigo didnt answer her, and his eyebrows twitched as Ulquiorra and Orihime started working on their project. Ulquiorra was writing down whatever Orihime was dictating. He was glad that he managed to be partners with her again. His curioisty was getting the better of him day by day about her. Urging him to learn more about the mysterious bubbly girl who seemed to welcome him all the time. While Orihime was reading from her notes, Ulquiorra glanced at her. She really was beautiful. But everytime he looked at her, there was something else emanating from her, that felt strange. Ulquiorra was never one to feel such things. He tends to believe himself as emotionless. So why do I feel like this when Im with her? He asked himself. Orihime caught his glance, and he quickly looked away. Is something wrong, Ulquiorra? She asked. The way she said his name was like music to his ears. Nothing. He said monotonously. The bell rang, and he gave out a sigh. Mm. Well, we can work on this later. Are you free this afternoon? Orihime asked. He was surprised. Only a few days ago, he told her not to come near him, and now she was asking him if he was free? Yes, why? Ulquiorra said plainly. Great! We can work on this at my house. Is that okay? She asked. Ulquiorra collected his things, trying to avoid her gaze. Its fine. Ulquiorra said. Orihime clapped her hands together in joy. Ill have Kirio-san make us some snacks. Orihime said happily. Ulquiorra wasnt really listening to what she was saying, but he was amused at her actions all the same. When he looked straight ahead, he noticed that Ichigo was looking at him. Glaring actually. He knew what it meant, and he hoped that he didnt have to deal with it later. Orihime had excused herself early in the afternoon from her friends, saying that she had a projcet to work on at home with Ulquiorra. Of course she wasnt able to go, until she had stopped her friends from squealing and screaming in excitement. She was excited as well, since it would give her a chance to get to know Ulquiorra better, and hopefully fix the unspoken agreement of not being friends with him. Ulquiorra was waiting for her outside the school building, and she hoped that she didnt have him wait that long. Lets go, Ulquiorra. Orihime said. Ulquiorra nodded and the two of them walked in silence to the road towards Orihimes home. She didnt know what to say to him, heck she didnt know what to say at all. They were still far from friends. During the time she had spent at their school, the only real friendly meeting they had was when Ulquiorra had woken her in her sleep while she was in the classroom. And that was something she couldnt get off her mind, especially when Ulquiorra had touched her face. She could still remember the look in his eyes when she woke. She fidgeted, which caused Ulquiorra to look at her. Is something bothering you, woman? Youre acting weird. Ulquiorra said blatantly. Orihime bit her lip at that. What an honest remark. She thought. Just then from the corner of her eye, she noticed something across the street. There was a small ice-cream stand, and a teenage boy along with a little girl was standing there, buying some ice-cream. The boy gave the girl a chocolate cone, and he got himself a vanilla. The sight was heart-warming, and at the same time it tugged at Orihimes heart. Why are you crying? She heard Ulquiorra say suddenly. She jerked her head, and only then noticed that Ulquiorra was now beside her, a curious look in his usually emotionless face. She placed a finger to her cheek, and she was indeed crying. Ah. I-its nothing. I just got somet-thing in my eye. Orihime said, but more tears came, and eventually a sob escaped her throat. Unsure of what to do, Ulquiorra just stood there staring at Orihime. Unaware of what he was doing, he reached a hand out to her face, and placed it gently on Orihimes cheek, making her turn to face him. Stop crying. He said, softer than usual. He wiped away the tears escaping her eye. Orihime stood rooted to her place, too stunned to move. They stayed like that for a while, before Ulquiorra let her go and turned away. Do you still want to study? Ulquiorra asked. Orihime took a deep breath, and blinked away her tears, a small smile forming on her lips. She nodded and walked towards him, and they continued the road home in complete and understanding silence. Hmm. Another clue to Orihimes secret. What could it be? Find out in next chappie ;) -Shirobara
