Forbidden Love (Ulquiorra fanfic) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 41

After a few hours, I realized it was almost ten o'clock.

"I'm going to have to go soon." I sighed.

"It looks like it, yeah..." She sighed.

"I've really enjoyed all of this, Esther." I knelt by her and smiled. "I was so lucky to have you as a friend. Well, you're practically like the sister I always wanted." I started to swell up with tears.

"I'm going to miss you..." She said with a teary smile. We then hugged and said our goodbyes. I left her house and decided to go on a walk to all the places which contained memories that I would cherish forever. I walked out of the street, up through Low Fell and to the school. I walked past it and then continued towards a park which I had really fun memories with my friends in. I kept on walking until I reached Fabian's house. I stood outside and smiled, thinking of everything we had together. I then started to walk away and towards my own home, however I didn't stop outside of it. I just looked at it and then flashed onto the roof. I looked over the town for miles and then I flashed towards Urahara's shop. By the time I had arrived, it was almost 11 o'clock but when I landed outside of it, everyone was standing, looking at me. Urahara, Ururu, Jinta, Rukia, Ichigo, Renji, Paige, Fabian, Esther, Bethany, Charlotte, Amy, Shannon, Leah and Jade. They all were standing in front of the shop, looking at me.

"Why are you all here?" I asked them, my head bowed.

"We couldn't let you leave without saying a proper goodbye." Bethany smiled.

"But we've all said goodbye... You're just going to make it harder on all of us..." I sighed.

"Don't be so stupid." I looked up and saw Renji walking towards me. "They're your friends, it wouldn't be right if you said goodbye to them all individually." He smirked.

"Don't think of it as a perminent goodbye." I looked past him at Urahara. "Just think of it as a trip. You'll see them all again." He smiled.

"I suppose you're right." I smiled and walked towards everyone. "I'll see all of you again, I know it." I smiled at everyone and then they all just gathered around me, hugging me.

"We might miss you but you'll always be in our hearts forever, Amber." Fabian whispered into my ear.

"Thank you..." I whispered back with a teary smile.

"What's going on?" I turned to see Lord Aizen behind everyone. They then all let go of me and I walked over to him, Ulquiorra and Grimmjow.

"They were all just saying goodbye. That's all." I smiled and wiped my eyes.

"Are you alright?" Ulquiorra asked as he walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm fine." I looked up at him and smiled.

"That's good." He hugged me and rested his head on mine. "Are you ready to go now?" He asked as he let go of me and I turned around to have one last look at the life I was leaving behind.

"I suppose so." I smiled at everyone with tears in my eyes but before I turned to Ulquiorra, I saw Fabian walked towards me.

"One last hug? For old times sake." He smiled.

"Yeah." I smiled back at him and hugged him, for the last time.

"I'll see you again, and next time I do, I'll do my best to get you back." He whispered in my ear so no one else could hear him. "All because of my love for you, Amber." We let go of each other and he smiled. I smiled back and then turned to everyone else.

"Thank you for being so important to me in my life. I'll never forget any of you. I'll miss you all, so much but I'll see all of you again before you know it." I smiled and then turned towards Ulquiorra, Grimmjow and Lord Aizen. "Let's go home." I took hold of Ulquiorra's hand as he opened a garganta. We stepped inside and started to walk away from everyone as the garganta closed.

Ulquiorra's p.o.v.

I looked at Amber as I felt her squeeze my hand tighter while walking through the garganta towards Hueco Mundo. She was crying but tried her best to hide it.

"Are you alright?" I asked her.

"I-I'll be fine." She looked up at me, trying to smile.

"That's good." I said as I stroked her cheek.

"Amber.." I turned to see Lord Aizen in front of us.

"Y-yes, my lord..." She murmered.

"Why did you say that to them?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" She responded as she let go of my hand and looked straight at Lord Aizen.

"That you'll see them again." He sighed.

"Because I wanted them to have a shread of hope that they might see me again. I didn't want them to feel even worse than what they already are so I wanted to leave them with a happy goodbye. I'd feel so bad if I just left them there like I didn't give a damn about them." She bowed her head and I could tell she was upset.

"You do realize that even if I do send you on a mission to the world of the living, you won't have the time to visit them, right?" He smirked.

"I know. I've already told them that." She sighed. "Can we go home now?" She asked, shyly.

"Hmm." Lord Aizen scoffed as we kept on walking again. I looked at Amber and she really wasn't happy now. I tried to speak to her too but she didn't respond, she didn't even look at me...

What's made her so upset? Have I done something wrong? What should I do now?... Should I talk to her about it or just leave it?... Arghhh. Women can be so frustrating sometimes...

We finally arrived at Los Noches and as soon as we were back in the throne room, Lord Aizen still wasn't pleased.

"There will be a meeting tomorrow and I expect all Espada to be there. Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, you are dismissed. However, Amber, I'd like a word in private please." He really didn't look happy but all Amber did was look at him and nod.

Okay, I'm starting to get worried now. She just looked and nodded. What the hell is wrong with her?! I really hope she talks to me about it later...

We bowed and then turned towards the doors to the throne room. We flashed towards them and as soon as we had exited the room, the doors slammed behind us.

"I wonder what's going to happen..." Grimmjow mumbled.

"I just hope she'll be alright..." I sighed.

"Ulquiorra, are you really regaining your feelings?" I looked at Grimmjow, who had a smirk on his face.

"I've always had feelings, Grimmjow. I've just always kept them hidden. There's been no need to show my feelings as they just got in the way during battles in the past." I sighed.

"So what makes her so special?" Grimmjow asked and I just looked at him, confused.

"I-I don't know..." I mumbled as I looked away. I put my hands in my pockets, closed my eyes and started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" I heard Grimmjow yell.

"I'm going to my room. I've got some thinking to do..." I mumbled as I just walked down hallway after hallway until I finally reached my room. I walked in and closed the door behind me. I walked over to my bed and lay down. That thought kept running through my head.

What makes her so special?....
