Ulquiorra listened to the phone ringing on the other line, leaning against his grey, splotched countertop. Speaking to Lilinette had reminded him that he had yet to call home, and he could hardly wait until he got back to the house to do so. It had become a yearning. Someone picked up.
"Hello?" the voice came over the distance, fuzzy but audible.
"Hello, Yuzu-chan," Ulquiorra said. "It's Ulquiorra. Can I speak to Ichigo, please?" Yuzu's girlish voice perked up.
"Ulorra!" she said happily, using the petname she had called him by as a toddler. "Nii-san, Ulorra called! He's on right now!" Ulquiorra could hear the rushing down the stairs, footsteps quickly getting louder.
"Well, give it here!" Ichigo admonished. Ulquiorra could see him yanking the phone out of Yuzu's little hand excitedly. "You, Ulquiorra!" he said into the phone. "What took you so long, man? Hold on, I'm putting you on speaker."
"I apologize," Ulquoirra said as the phone beeped. "I've been busy."
"We've been waiting," the redhead said. "We're all here. Study session tonight."
"Hiiii, Ulquiorra-kun!" Orihime chirped, undoubtedly leaning forward to be sure he heard her.
"Hello, Orihime-san," Ulquiorra said, pulling out a red-leather covered stool like what they had at old burger houses, sitting on it at his breakfast bar. The hanging red lights, he noted, were too high to have to worry about hitting his head on.
"How are you adjusting?" Ishida asked.
"Well," Ulquiorra said. "I put up the embroidered banner you made for me."
"Really?" Ishida's satisfaction was evident even through their scratchy connection. "How does it look?"
"You made it excellently," Ulquiorra promised. Ishida started to say something, but Rukia interjected.
"As much as we all love listening to you and Ishida chat about sewing techniques," she said, "I want to know about your new school!"
"Yeah," Renji quipped, "has anybody called you a girl yet?"
"We have a betting pool going," Orihime said cheerily, obviously not understanding a word out of her mouth.
"Shh, Inoue," Chad said. his deep baritone voice shivered over the phone.
"In fact, someone has," Ulquiorra said, frowning at the memory, "if you care to call it that. A rather raucous male has referred to me as 'babe' multiple times."
"And you haven't socked him yet?" Ichigo asked, incredulous.
"I have been tempted," Ulquiorra answered.
"Is this guy bugging you?" Ichigo asked, hints of his protective nature sliding into his tone. Ulquiorra appreciated it.
"It is nothing I can't deal with," he reassured.
"Why didn't you call sooner, Ulquiorra-kun?" Orihime asked sweetly. "It feels like it's been forever!"
"It's only been a week since I left, Orihime-san," Ulquiorra said.
"I know, but it feels like it's been so long!"
"I agree," Ulquiorra told her.
"How was the drive up?" Chad asked. That was why Ulquiorra liked Chad; he was a practical, gentle giant.
"Difficult," Ulquiorra said. "As expected. There was a huge snow storm just as I was passing through the Seireitei area."
"Did you stay with Byakuya?" Ichigo asked, tittering. It was well known that Ulquiorra and Byakuya were too similar to get along. They were respectful to each other, of course, but their silent and emotionless ways proved to be a nuisance when they were together.
"No," Ulquiorra said, "Ukitake-san was so kind as to let me stay with him."
"Ah!" Rukia said, "of course Ukitake-san would do such a thing! He is a very kind man."
"Man, Rukia, you sound like you've got some sort of a crush on him!" Renji joked. There was a smack and a yelp.
"Don't be ridiculous!" Rukia said indignantly. "Ukitake-san is far to classy to fall for someone like me, his own student!"
"You still sound like you have a crush. Ow," Chad said.
"We've missed you at the fight bar," Ichigo said, talking over the madness. "Every time I've kicked ass I did it thinking of you."
"I appreciate that," Ulquiorra said.
"Yeah, man," Renji said, "it's been really weird without you there. You were always the one raking in the most money in a night. Hey, are you gonna keep fighting up there? There's this kickass fight bar a friend of mine told me about. I think it's called the Glutoneria or something. I've heard that all the best fighters in Hueco Mundo fight there."
"I might look into it," Ulquiorra said.
"You should," Renji prompted. "It'd be a shame if you just stopped fighting."
"Agreed," Ichigo said.
"Unless you practice on that guy who thinks you're a babe."
"Ha, ha," Ulquiorra said.
"Ne, ne, Ulquiorra-kun," Orihime piped, "how are your new teachers? Are they nice?"
"Yes, what about your classmates?" Rukia asked. "Have you made any friends?"
"Yes, I have," Ulquiorra said, settling onto his chair. There would be a lot of questions to answer tonight; not that he could object. He just wanted to be comfortable answering them. He decided he should get some hot chocolate.
