Ok. Sorry this took so long. I will try to have the next update posted sooner. I apologize for any and all OOCness. Remember this is an AU fic. Thank you.
This chapter is shorter than I wanted it to be, but the best place to end it.
Now off to spread more MuraUlqui love XD!

Ulquiorra followed Muramasa through the hallways of his lavish home trying not to stop and take in the sights that were presented as they passed them. He was hoping for a chance to observe such lovely works of art, that were no doubt priceless, at another time. His mind instead focused on the things he had heard Lord Muramasa wanted him for the job, and frowned only slightly. If his memory served correct, Lord Muramasa had not denied that Ulquiorra would be warming his bed on the evenings the lord didn't have company. Was it possible that he would be doing more than simply being the lord's escort and attendee to these gatherings? A flash of nervousness and worry passed through the male's bright green eyes as he thought about it.
"Do not worry yourself over such trivial things Ulquiorra. I may not have denied it, but I did not confirm it either.", Muramasa said in a low tone as he opened the door to the place they would be having practice. He said nothing more and Ulquiorra was left with the distinct impression that he had perhaps angered the lord. "I am not angry with you Ulquiorra. I merely am a bit restless. Visits from Lord Aizen will do that to anyone.", he said going over and opening a window to the cloudy sky outside.
Ulquiorra froze in the middle of the room. Was Lord Muramasa reading his thoughts? That very thought sent a shiver down the younger male's spine and he unconsciously took a step back. A natural human reaction considering how humans always seem to fear that which they don't understand or that which doesn't seem to fit their ideals of normalcy. His mind seemed to be racing at a thousand miles a minute as he worked to convince himself that there was no way this man could read his thought. Logically speaking, he was probably showing his emotions across his face and the older gentleman could easily assume his thought process. Yes, that was the logical reason.
A deep breath took care of his strangely oxygen-starved lungs. Ulquiorra had not realized that he hadn't been breathing all this time, and after a few more deep breaths felt himself a lot calmer until a hand lightly touched his shoulder. The tension came back before it seemed to relax against his body's wishes. Once again it felt like he was not in control of something he should very well be in control of. He fought to speak and when he did his voice held no traces of the fear he felt in his heart.
"You mentioned dancing my lord.", he said softly and respectfully. "May I ask how we are supposed to practice such a fine art without the aid of music?"
****
Muramasa was walking knowing Ulquiorra was following behind him. He did not trust Aizen anymore than he would trust his enemies to spare his life should he be unfortunate enough to lose a battle to one of the many he had acquired over the years. The halls were barely lit with light enough to brighten the place, but enough that even a human could see as they walked through him. His mind was still working on why he had allowed this young man to stay initially, but now he did it because he did not want to see another promising youth destroyed by Lord Aizen. While he viewed the humans as food, even he was against such acts of baser cruelty where it was not needed. He never saw the point in over exertion of dominance when it was already clear who was the dominant party.
His musings were interrupted due to the swirl of emotions coming from Ulquiorra. Why the youth may slip up and show more than Muramasa was quite certain he was used to, the emotions he could feel on the inside of Ulquiorra were the ones that screamed the loudest. Had he been in a better state of mood or had not dealt with his supposed peers today he may have perhaps smiled at the thoughts going through the younger male's mind. Instead, after a long inward sigh, he spoke to Ulquiorra, forgetting that the other had no idea of what he was or the fact he could read his mind.
It was things like this that made humans so difficult to work with. A simple revelation would lead them into a state that caused nothing but fear and confusion. Fear. It was a very unflattering scent for a person and not one Muramasa enjoyed unlike others of his kind. He gently brushed a stray bit of lint off of Ulquiorra's shoulder, resisting the urge to roll his eyes when the emerald eyed male tensed up again. He used his powers to calm him before removing his hand so the male could speak.
The question was said without fear even though it was more than obvious that Ulquiorra still held fear in his heart. "You will be practicing the steps first by following my lead. Once you have sufficiently mastered the steps, we shall add the music into the dance.", Muramasa said positioning Ulquiorra into the proper form for the first dance. "A simple waltz should be easy enough to start with.", he told him getting into position as well, but not holding Ulquiorra too close. Frightening the male would only make this that much harder. "Let's Begin."
Muramasa led him around on the floor correcting him when needed before stopping after a little while. "That was decent. We shall add the music now. Remember to keep eye contact and move with both your dance partner and the music.", he told him as he moved to a dark corner of the room. Ulquiorra was curious as to what Muramasa was doing, but suddenly heard a very beautiful almost haunting melody coming from the darkness where Muramasa was now emerging. He walked over to Ulquiorra watching almost expectantly to see if the youth had in fact remember what he had just been taught. He had come across a shockingly large number of humans that could not seem to remember things even after a mere five minutes. It made one wonder if he had once been like that when he was human.

Ulquiorra gave a small bow and then slipped into the correct dancing position with Muramasa before he felt himself being led in the dance. It felt different with the music now playing as if somehow this were a different situation than one he had been in before. Just moments ago, he had felt like a student taking lessons from a teacher, now...what was it that he felt? Just as he was going to focus in on the feeling, a small voice in the back of his mind was reminding him that he was supposed to look up at Muramasa and move with him almost as fluid as water flows down a gentle creek.
Taking another deep breath, he looked up into Muramasa's eyes. Ulquiorra felt himself almost freeze in his movements, but managed through sheer force of will to continue the dance. He hadn't remember seeing the lord's eyes quite like this. They almost seemed to glow in the dim light of the room as they continued. Only the music was heard in his ears and dancing felt as if he were doing the impossible and flying. This shouldn't be happening and even though fear tried once more to creep itself back into Ulquiorra's heart, he couldn't concentrate with the way he was being looked at.
Did the music stop? Had he moved closer to his lord and not noticed it? He wasn't even sure anymore. His body seemed to move on its own and for a moment he felt he was losing his soul to one of those creatures of legend, but such things were not humanly possible.
What if he isn't human?
A sliver of fear made its way into Ulquiorra's heart then, but he could not break the trance like state he was in. A small puff of air hit his face and he felt heat rise to cheeks. He didn't feel well and opened his mouth to tell the noble least he disrespect him and find himself on the streets this evening once again looking for work. "Lord-", he started only to be cut off at the first word.
"We are currently alone. I believe I gave you permission to call me just Muramasa when there were no others present.", he said to him and yet his voice sounded so much softer than Ulquiorra's mind remembered. It was like a honey sweet baritone, but he wasn't even sure why this was so. Was it that he had not realized how Muramasa's voice sounded before.
"Muramasa", was the only word Ulquiorra got out before his eyes closed and he was in a state of unconsciousness unaware of his surroundings any longer.
Muramasa smiled, turquoise eyes still with the faint glow to them, as he held Ulquiorra close to him to stop him from falling. "Perfection.", Muramasa whispered as he picked Ulquiorra up bridal style and carried the unconscious male back to the room he would be staying in from now on.
