The Newest Espada

~~~~~~~chapter 4~~~~~~~~

*He sighed and walked out the door, headed towards where Jow was supposed to be hidden. When he found her, she was sleeping, her stomach exposed, revealing her tattoo. Her felt a strange urge to touch her skin, but

he only touched her ears. She vanished, reappearing behind him, a dagger at his throat. She dropped it when she saw who it was*

Jow: Sorry!! Didn't know who you were, you scared me! Oh jeez I'm really sorry!

Ulquiorra: It is fine. Why are you hiding? Are you scared of someone?

Jow: No I was only thinking... Don't take this the wrong way, but uh... do you.. have a girlfriend?

*he looked surprised at her, causing her face to flush with color. She dropped her gaze, embarrassed. He took off his shirt, revealing the hollow hole in his chest. Her face turned even more red when she saw his body. He

saw her eyes fill  with lust, and he pointed at the hole in his chest*

Ulquiorra: I do not have a heart, so I have no feelings for you. Understand?

Jow: I... Wow... Your.... Oh wow... I'm sorry, what were you saying?

Ulquiorra: .... Are you seriously that distracted?

Jow: Hey, you took off your shirt. I think I had a great reason to be distracted. I... Wow that came out weird... Sorry... Again...

*Ulquiorra started to put his shirt back on, but she touched his arm and he stopped. She felt his chest, and her face went even paler. She let go, and he put his shirt back on. She blushed, and turned away*

Jow: Sorry about that...

Ulquiorra: .... You would be better off with either Grimmjow or Nnoitora. I suggest you aim for one of them.

Jow: I don't want them though. To be honest, they kinda scare me,... I... Nevermind... I'm sorry...

Ulquiorra: You apologize too much. You have not done something wrong that you need to apologize for.

Jow: ... Sorry? I don't know what to say now...

*Ulquiorra started to walk off, his hands in his pockets, and Jow followed him. She wished he would show some interest in her, but he remained as blank as ever. She reached for his hand, and he shot her a warning glance.

She moved he hand away instantly, and looked rather sad. He sighed and took his hand out of his pocket. He grasped hers, and her face turned bright pink. He noticed that he enjoyed it when her face was flushed with

color. He found it odd, and wasn't sure he liked it*

Jow: Thank you, Master Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra: No problem, I suppose. I would like to ask you something, and I expect you to answer truthfully. Ok?

Jow: Of course.

Ulquiorra: Where did you get these scars?

*He traced his finger across a particullarly deep scar on her wrist, and she flinched, Jow tried to pull her arm away, but for all the good it did, he could have been a statue*

Ulquiorra: Well?

Jow: No fair, I didn't think you noticed! I don't want to say.

Ulquiorra: Just say it.

Jow: I got in a fight with a group of guys in the World of the Living. Needless to say, I lost. They beat the life outta me, pretty much literaly, and broke almost every bone in my body. They got scared when I was near death, thought they would go to prison for murder if someone found me, so they tied me up, tossed me in the back of their car, and drove to some forest. They opened the trunk, dropped my body about 7 miles away from the nearest town, and drove away. I got my revenge of course, you should have seen the look on their faces. Thought they were gonna faint. Don't look at me like that, I didn't kill them, just left them mortally wounded. Like they did to me. If not for some Soul Reaper passing by, I woulda been dead. I left the moment they had healed me though, didn't want anything else to do with them.

*She was hungry, he could tell, because she looked like she was gonna bite him at any time. He laughed, on the inside of course, because she was drooling a little bit. He made a small cut in his chest with his zanpakto, and pressed her mouth to the wound,

telling her to take his blood, that he freely offered it. She did, and her eyes widened in shock at the flavor of him. He tasted so good, she could barely think straight. Even after she had had her fill, she continued until he

put his hand to her mouth. He looked paler than before, if that was even possible. She blushed*

Ulquiorra: I know you like my taste, but you are taking too much.

Jow: Sorry! You do taste good by the way.

*He sat with her until he recovered from feeding her. They then walked back inside, and Ulquiorra escorted her to Nnoitora's room. When he turned to leave, she hugged him and he froze. His hand was on her shoulder, about to pry

her off, but decided against it. He wrapped his arms around her, and could feel her heart beating, slow and steady*

Jow: Please don't tell anyone what I told you today. Please...

Ulquiorra: I won't.

Jow: Promise?

Ulquiorra: I... I promise.

*Jow pulled away and looked into his eyes. He stared back, his hands on her waist*

Jow: May I ask you something?

Ulquiorra: Of course.

Jow: Do you have feelings for me? I mean like I have for you?

Ulquiorra: I am unable to express emotion. I am sorry, but I do not feel like you do.

*She sighed and looked away. His hands fell away from her waist and he put them back in his pocket*

Jow: I understand. But even now, I still care.
