Forbidden Love (Ulquiorra fanfic) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 8

Ulquiorra's p.o.v.

"Is she alright?" Grimmjow asked me.

"She'll be fine." I responded. "After all, she's progressing steadily, which is good." I picked her up and we went back inside. I heard the door close behind us and as we made our way back to her room, Lord Aizen walked towards us. When he realized that Amber was in my arms, he seemed shocked.

"Ulquiorra. What happened?" He asked.

"She had a bad dream. That's all, my Lord." I said as he grabbed a strand of her hair and started to stroke it.

"That's alright then. Take her back to her room and check on her in the morning. Hopefully she'll be alright by then. Good night, Ulquiorra, Grimmjow."

"Goodnight, my Lord." I bowed and Aizen started to walk past us.

"Goodnight." Grimmjow then walked on past me, back to his room.

"Ulquiorra.." I turned back to see Aizen looking at me.

"Yes, my Lord?" I responded.

"Make sure that she's alright by morning. I want to see her once she's awake." He smirked and turned away.

"Yes, my Lord." I then turned and continued walking towards Amber's room.

I wonder what Lord Aizen wants with Amber? Wait. It's none of my business. I'll leave it be.

We finally got back to her room and I put her on her bed. As I did, she finally opened her eyes.

"U-Ulquiorra?" She stuttered.

"Hello again, Amber. Are you feeling better?" I asked.

"I'm just tired. That's all." She could barely keep her eyes open, never mind speak.

"Get some rest then. Lord Aizen wants to see you in the morning so you better go back to sleep." I stood up straight and walked over to the door.

"Please..." I heard Amber starting to speak before I left. I turned and saw her trying to stand up.

"Amber, you need to get some rest. Lie down and go back to sleep." I repeated.

"Don't leave me.. Please.." She looked up with tears in her eyes. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her so I closed the door to her room, walked back over to her and lay her back down. I pulled the blanket over her and placed my hand by her head.

"I'll stay tonight but you need to get some rest." I stood up straight and turned towards the couch. I walked over and sat down.

"T-thank you.. Ulquiorra.." She spoke with such little tone in her voice as she fianlly fell back to sleep. I wonder what was wrong with her before. Especially after her crying blood. I felt so worried, which wasn't normal. I never normally felt something towards someone, except hate and bitterness. What makes her so special?

Amber p.o.v.

I finally woke up after a long night. When I did, I turned my head to see Ulquiorra still sitting on the couch with his arms crossed and eyes closed.

"Ulquiorra..." I whispered so quietly but he still heard me speak.

"So you're finally awake. Are you feeling better?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'm alright." I said as I sat up. "I could use a drink of water, though." I stood up and walked over to the table to get a glass of water.

"Grab your jacket." I turned to see Ulquiorra walking towards me. "Lord Aizen is waiting." He stood in front of me and his eyes darted towards mine.

"Yeah. I know." I walked past him, still keeping eye contact until I picked up my jacket and put it on.

"Let's go." He said as he started to walk out my room.

I followed and quickly closed the door behind me. We kept on walking down the corridor until we finally came to the throne room.

"Amber. Good morning." Lord Aizen stood up and, when I got to him, hugged me.

"Good morning, Lord Aizen." I responded.

"I heard that you had a bad dream last night. Are you feeling better now?" He asked as he let go of me.

"Yes, my lord. I also heard that you wanted to see me this morning, what for?" I asked.

"Ah, yes. Ulquiorra, could you leave us for a moment?" He turned to Ulquiorra. I saw him bow and then he left.

"You wanted to talk to me?" I asked again.

"Yes. I wanted to talk about your position." He then sat down on his throne and rested on his hand.

"My position?" I was confused.

"Yes. Once your training is complete, I want to see how well your powers are. I'll see how strong you are and then we can talk more about your position." He kept saying that word. 'Position'.

"I'm sorry, my Lord, but what do you mean by position?" I asked.

"Your position in the Espada." I was shocked.

"You.. want me to be apart of the Espada? That.. that's crazy.." I was so shocked. I didn't know what to say.

"We'll talk more about it later but for now, I wish to get you a new change of clothes. If that's alright with you?" He changed the convosation within a matter of seconds.

"Of course, my Lord." He then stood up and started to walk past me.

"Follow me." He then said.

So, that's what I did. I quickly caught up to him. We kept walking down corridors until we finally came to a really big door that looked like it had never been touched before. Aizen then turned to me and smiled.

"I've prepared this room for you so I hope you enjoy it." He then opened the door and turned on the light. When I walked in, it looked like a walk in closet. It was great. I had the biggest smile on my face.

"This is amazing." I said while taking a big long breath of the smell of new clothing.

"Take your pick. However, I must warn you, once you pick an outfit, you can never change it." He said.

"I'll choose wisely then." I walked in properly and started to have a look around. When I got to the bottom of the room, there was a mirror which made me look at the ears on my head. I glanced at them for a second and then ignored them. I kept on looking around until I found the perfect outfit. I picked up one of the jackets which came to the bottom of my ankles, it had long sleeves and a large collar similar to Ulquiorra's. I then picked up a top which looked like a crop top. I grabbed a hakama, tabi and zori. I then turned to see Aizen looking confused.

"Are you alright, Amber?" He asked.

"Er, yes. I was just wondering if there's anywhere I could get dressed." I said while holding onto my new outfit.

"There's a curtain over there. You can get changed behind that." I nodded and quickly ran over to it. I pulled it closed and started to get dressed. When I was done, I opened the curtain and walked over to the mirror. I looked at myself in this white jacket, white hakama, white top, black tabi and white zori. I didn't look half bad.

"You're looking more like an Espada every day." He said as he walked over to me.

I laughed a little. "I'll take that as a compliment."

"There's one thing missing though." I turned to Aizen and he held out a black sash.

"Where does that go then?" I asked.

"Where ever you want. It can go around your waist, around your head, anywhere." He said.

"Hmm. I'll have to test some things out later. Thank you, Lord Aizen." I bowed and walked over to him.

"It's my pleasure. From now on, this is what you wear. Now lets go back. You still have your next training session, don't you?" He reminded me.

"Oh crap! I completely forgot! Thank you for reminding me." I ran out of the room. Then I realized that was rude so I ran back and stood in the door way. "Goodbye, Lord Aizen." I bowed and then quickly ran off towards the training room again.
