I am still trying to figure out this new text program so the chapter may refresh a few times while I try and get SINGLE spaces between each paragraph instead of double, triple and none……….
Warnings: None.
Orihime and Ulquiorra
Orihime had no idea what had changed, but much like Karin she found herself moved into Ulquiorra’s room and frequently under him. At first she thought her acceptance of the Claim was what had sent him into sexual overdrive, but this was something that had started shortly after he had brought them to Starrk’s to talk to Karin.
It was also different because he was in complete control of his senses and not even released. It felt more mechanical. Oh there were still nights where he released and had her squirming, begging and crying in pleasure beneath him, but where as the nights he had slept with her were more weekly to biweekly, it was now damn near nightly!
She and Tatsuki tried to figure out why he had changed after so long, but so far they could only draw blanks. Well tonight she was going to ask him why he was suddenly so interested in actually sleeping with her on a regular biases.
She waited until after they were both alone in their now shared room, getting ready to go to bed.
“Ulquiorra-san?”
He paused and looked at her.
“I was wondering why the, umm, sudden… increased… interest?” She asked, rubbing an arm nervously as she awaited his answer.
“It has come to my attention that….. children were possibly between our species.” He admitted.
She froze and stared at him in complete and utter shock. She had never, ever, for a single moment considered the fact she could get pregnant. Wait a minute!
“Are you trying to get me Pregnant?” She demanded sharply.
“It is expected of…..”
“Stop.” She held up a hand.
She took a few calming breaths and sat on the edge of the bed as she tried to sort out how to get him to understand that just deciding she should bear a child was wrong. It took years to get him to see that raping her was wrong, how the hell was she going to tackle this one?
She looked back up to study him, trying to gauge his mood and seeing a blank slate with a slight twitch of irritation in his eyes. He always hated it when she defied him as he still had a very difficult time trying to understand that even if he ‘owned’ her, she still had rights too.
“Look, I wont say I never want children, but right now I am not ready to raise a child. You do know there is more to children than just having them, right?” She asked.
He gave a short nod of his head.
“There are other things involved. They need emotional support and,” she sighed, “I am not so sure you are ready for something like a crying child. You can’t just order a child to stop crying and expect it to even understand.”
“You are saying I am the one not ready?” He asked sharply.
“Both of us aren’t ready.” She said firmly. “I am still adjusting to this change in our relationship. Any child brought into a household without Love is doomed to become a problem.”
“You were raised with Love?” He asked.
She stiffened and sighed. It was true she had not been raised by her parents, but rather by her brother.
“Yes. Niisan loved me very much.” She declared firmly.
“And since you do not Love me you believe we could not raise a child properly?” He questioned with a hint of disbelief.
“It would be difficult on the child to know their parents do not love one another. Kids can pick up on those kind of things and sometimes they end up taking sides. Could you handle a child that hates you because it feels like you have wronged me?” She asked. “Because I know I could not.”
He was silent for some time and she knew he was thinking about it. He would analyze what she had said before responding.
“How long do you think it will take for you to Love me?” He asked.
“What!? Love is not something you plan. You above all others should know that. It just sort of happens.”
“Soon or some time?” He demanded.
She sighed.
“I don’t know. Pulling stuff like this on me doesn’t help.” She admitted softly.
“I see no reason why I should need to discuses this. It is the next expected step after claiming a territory and mate.” He commented.
She felt a groan coming on and once more had to remind herself he wasn’t human and his ways were different from hers. It was so difficult to explain to him what was nature to her, just as she had a hard time understanding what was nature to him. And did he just refer to her as a mate?
She left that part alone for the time being, deciding to address it after she convinced him they were definitely not ready to have children. This was definitely one hell of a bombshell.
“If it turns out I can never love you, would you still force me to bear you a child?” She asked, fearing his answer.
“It is my right.” He answered firmly.
“You would go back to raping me?” She asked softly, casting her eyes down to the hands clenched in her lap.
She felt him bristle. He hated it when she referred to it that way, but to her that was exactly what it was. Maybe she could get Grimmjow to beat some more sense into him. It worked wonders on the last issue and might help resolve this one as well.
“I would prefer you were willing.” He reluctantly admitted.
“Remember what I told you about Love earlier, how both need to make sacrifices for the sake of the other?”
He gave a short nod of his head.
“Give me a year, please, to try and learn to Love you.” She requested.
“And if you do not after a year?” He questioned.
“Than,” she sighed, “I will agree to try and have a child.” She promised. “As I said, both must give.”
“And if you Love me before the year is out?”
“Than we can try earlier.” She folded.
“Acceptable.”
The conversation was clearly over. She crawled into the bed and he joined her a moment later after putting his own uniform away. They lay back to back and she found herself unable to sleep.
He had dropped one hell of a bombshell on her. She didn’t doubt that he would still take his right of her body since she was positive she wouldn’t be able to convince him to abstinence anytime soon. There was of course a chance she could conceive from that alone.
She blushed a bit as she considered talking to him about other methods to make sure she didn’t get pregnant. Somehow she doubted she would be able to convince him to use condoms from here on out, even if she could muster up the courage to speak to him about it. Maybe she could speak to Unohana-san about birth control pills.
Trying to get her pregnant just because apparently he had discovered their two races were compatible was definitely something she had never thought of. Compatible. Human and Hollow were compatible. How would he have come to such a ludicrous conclusion?
Orihime bolted up right, turning to stare at him in shock. He looked over his shoulder to regard her at the sudden movement.
“Why do you think we are compatible?” She demanded.
She feared she already knew the answer. There were only four humans being held here, and of the four only two of them were sexually active. Since she was not pregnant that left only one other horrible possibility.
“There has been a successful crossbreeding.” He answered.
“Are you saying Karin is Pregnant?” She demanded.
“It has been confirmed by Unohana-san.”
She stared at him completely dumbfounded. Karin, Ichigo’s younger sister, was knocked up by the same man who had tried to kill her brother no less then three times that she was aware of.
“Go to sleep.” He ordered.
She lay back down but her mind was in far too much turmoil to even consider going to sleep. Briefly she wondered if he wanted a child for himself, or simply because he couldn’t stand Grimmjow accomplishing something he could not. The two of them had been sleeping together for far longer than Karin and Grimmjow had been.
She didn’t know when she had fallen asleep, but when Orihime woke up the next morning Ulquiorra was already gone and the smell of breakfast wafted through the house. Tatsuki was just dishing out the omelettes onto plates when Orihime entered the room.
“Morning.” Tatsuki greeted her warmly.
“Karin’s pregnant.” Orihime couldn’t help but to blurt.
Tatsuki dropped the fortunately empty spatula. Her childhood friend turned slowly to face her, a look of pure shock on her face.
“What? Why do you think that? Oh?” Tatsuki caught on quickly. “Is that why Ulquiorra has become more demanding? He is trying to get you Pregnant?” She demanded sharply.
“Was. I got him to agree to stop for now, or at least not try every night since I doubt he will stop completely.” She assured her friend before Tatsuki went off the deep end on him.
She sat down at the table while Tatsuki retrieved the spatula from the floor and brought their plates to the table.
“For now?” Tatsuki asked, sitting down at her place.
“I got him to agree to at least wait a year to give me time to,” she sighed, “love him.”
“Is that even possible?” Tatsuki asked softly.
“I don’t know.” She admitted sadly.
“And after the year?”
Orihime looked at her plate, unable to answer. Tatsuki let out a sigh and reached a hand out to cover one of Orihime’s.
“I wish I could take even half of your suffering for you.” She whispered.
“I know. Just being here for me is a relief.” Orihime responded with a soft smile. “I don’t think I could have done this alone.”
“I will always be here. Now, you said Karin is Pregnant?”
Orihime nodded her head.
Tatsuki frowned.
“She is too young. This will not be easy on her. I presume the father is Grimmjow?”
“Yeah, which is the only reason I think Ulquiorra is even really that interested in having a child.”
“Which is wrong.” They both sighed at the same time.
“Well, at least you staved him off for a year. Maybe you can convince him in that time that just deciding to have a child takes more planning.”
Orihime merely nodded in agreement before taking a bite of her cooling omelette.
She was so infuriating, but he couldn’t bring himself to force her. And he reluctantly admitted she had brought up a valid point. True his instinct was telling him now that he had a Claimed female and a secure den that the next logical step was to produce offspring. He had just never really thought about it because he had never believed he could impregnate her.
As Grimmjow had pointed out in their argument a while back, the only females worth even considering to breed with were Harribel and her fraccion. Harribel would definitely be a worthy conquest, but she was strong enough that he could end up being enslaved instead of succeeding in a Mating Claim should she spurn his advances.
And Aizen had forbidden the Espada from Claiming each other. He would never go against Kami’s laws. There were of course her fraccion, but he would have to go through her to get to them, and again Aizen had forbidden anyone to Claim another’s fraccion. It was one of the reasons the other Arrancar were so desperate to be chosen as fraccion.
An Espada could Claim their own fraccion, there was no law against that, but as far as he knew none had been. The rest of the Arrancar ranks rankled him and he had no interest in any of them.
Despite being human, Orihime had a rather interesting power and a part of him wondered if it wouldn’t breed through. She was rather pleasing to the eye as well and while her personality could be a source of irritation, it was hardly a continuous source.
As Grimmjow had pointed out, the other female Arrancar were after power and would do anything for it. Orihime would never attempt to lie or lay down praise in an attempt to get something from him. She would straight up tell him.
His walk led him back to the clearing he and Grimmjow had destroyed and once again he found himself reluctantly admitting that when it came to emotional things and things involving Women, Grimmjow was one up on him.
Love was mostly an abstract concept to Hollows. Any Claimed female instinctively understood the next step was to bred. It was in their nature to offer themselves to try and get pregnant.
But they were Arrancar now, not the more instinctive driven Adjucas. They were basically the emotional equivalent of a Vasto Lorde now and were capable of feeling and expressing a much larger spectrum of emotion.
Granted he had been a Vasto Lorde before Aizen had found him, but he was freshly evolved. Not like Starrk and Barragan who had been Vasto Lorde before Ulquiorra had even began his forgotten, human life.
After several hours of intense internal debate he decided that it might be time to see what other advice about getting a woman to love you Grimmjow might have. The sooner he could get her to love him, the sooner he could ease the instinct to breed her.
As usual /love those that took the time to review. I love each and every one. Remember, you don’t need an account to review.
One trick I use when reviewing is I will copy the review before I hit post so if the checker fails you still have the work, you just need to paste it. To copy, highlight the text, hold down the ctrl key and hit C. To paste, hold down the ctrl key and hit V.
Szayel was draining her reiatsu to study it so he could nullify it, just as he did to Renji and Ishida. What’s up with Renji will be revealed, but not for a long time.
Starrk and Yuzu will not be getting together. There is a heart wrenching scene with Yuzu five chapters from now. At least I think it might be five. I really got to number them. Hmm.
Next Chapter: Karin faces of against Szayel once again, and this time he isn’t alone. One of the big secrets is revealed and a bigger one hinted at. Shush from you Kazes, you already know.
Oh, and I hit page 600 today. Yep, 600. This chapter ends on page 238 so there is lots more coming. Clocking in over 200,000 words already. The average wheel of time book is 300,000.
