Junjou na Kanjou(The True Feeling)
Even if my love reaches at the breaking point, 1/3 of it won't reach
My true feeling is just spinning in the air,
My heart isn't even saying "I love you"
That was another silent night in Hueco Mundo. Again, there, on the top of a white building in Las Noches, a man was standing and admiring the silvery crescent moon above him with his emerald orbs. You may say that it was his hobby to enjoying the moon's shine in every spare time he had. In moonlight's embrace, his silver skin looked even paler, causing the cyan line that descended from his eyes looked more clearly. He closed his eyes for a moment as the cold night breeze approached him, sending the long coat of his jacket and his white hakama dancing slowly, along with his silky, black hair. Yes, yes, night was Ulquiorra Schiffer's favorite time, the time when he could feel the moonlight touched him softly and sent the comfortable peace into his mind. It couldn't be helped, since night was the time when he was born, the time when he became an arrancar.
Suddenly, he felt someone stood behind him. He knew this reiatsu well enough to know who was standing behind without even looking at him. "What is it, Szayel?" he asked the pink-haired Espada with quite irritated tone—since Szayel had interrupted his ritual to admiring the night-queen above.
Szayel Apporo Grantz sighed at the green-eyed Espada and pushed up his spectacle. "Aizen-sama is looking for you, you'd better go to see him now," he said before turned his back and left.
Ulquiorra waited until the Szayel left, then he turned his back, glancing over his shoulder at the moon once again and disappearing to Aizen's room.
Within a minute, Ulquiorra had faced a huge door of his superior's room. He brought his right hand up and knocked the door. Then he heard Aizen's voice came from the room before him, "You may come in."
Ulquiorra obeyed his leader's words and opened the door slowly, finding the owner room was sitting on a huge, white chair at the end of the room. Then, Ulquiorra bowed in respect to the brown haired man, the ex-captain of 5th division who had betrayed the whole Soul Society. "Is there something you want me to do, Aizen-sama?" the Quarta Espada asked as he raised his back and stared at Aizen.
"Yes, Ulquiorra," the brown haired man nodded, "I want you to take her as your fraction," Aizen said, throwing his gaze on a female arrancar who was kneeling few feet before him.
That was the first time when Ulquiorra noticed that there was another person in the room. He stared at the female arrancar who had stood on her foot now. When she turned her back to face the expressionless espada who would be her superior, Ulquiorra could see that she was quite beautiful. Her silver hair was glowing like the moonlight, so was crescent moon-shaped remainder hollow mask that laid around her right eyes. As she landed her deep-blue eyes on Ulquiorra's green optics, a bright smile found its way to her lip. Then, the arrancar bowed to Ulquiorra, "My name's Siete Lumina, and I'm looking forward for your help and guide, Ulquiorra-sama!"
Aizen smiled at the two of his armies, "Teach her well, Ulquiorra."
"Hai, Aizen-sama," Ulquiorra bowed once again to his leader as he felt something were rising in his chest, something that he couldn't understand; it felt uncomfortable, but also comfortable in the same time. What were these strange feelings? Were these because of that silver–haired arrancar? Ulquiorra was wondering….
On the long, sleepless nights,
The image I send to you whisper "That is Love"
Continuously shaking speech that moves you into tears changes into a slight fever mingled with a sight
It had been at least two months since Siete became his fraction. And at these two months, Ulquiorra kept wondering what were the strange feelings that moved inside him. Days after days, he could tell that these feelings just grew even bigger and bigger. And it made the Fourth Espada a bit irritated. Why you ask? Simply, it was because sometimes, these feelings were nearly took the better on him. Like this day, when he was in the library with Siete, looking for some information asked by Aizen.
"Uhm, Ulquiorra-sama, what does the book looked like?" Siete asked her superior about the book they were looking for.
"Black, tick, old book," Ulquiorra answered simply, not even bothering to looked at the silver-headed arrancar. He just paid his attention fully on the bookcases filled by hundreds of books around of him.
"Oh…." Siete mumbled and returned her gaze to the bookcase. Her eyes scanned the HUGE bookcase before her as she read the books' tittles quickly. Then, her eyes narrowed when she saw the book, it looked exactly like what Ulquiorra had described; VERY thick, black cover, and it was definitely old.
"Found you~~" she said happily. Yes, she had found he book they needed, but there was a problem she had: the book was on the top of the floor-ceiling bookcase, meant she couldn't get it because of her only 160 cm height. She looked around to find Ulquiorra and ask his help. Crap, she found no one near her now; probably he was looking for the book in another part o the library. She sighed and decided to do something that definitely wouldn't be suggested by Ulquorra….
Meanwhile, Ulquiorra had searched all over the library, one after another bookcases, but he still couldn't find the book. So, he decided to see Siete, she might had found it. He walked back to the first place and welcomed by unexpected scenery: Siete climbed up the bookcase, causing Ulquiorra's emerald orbs grew wider as he found his fraction did the most stupid thing he ever seen.
"Siete, what ARE you doing up there?" he walked quickly toward the bookcase.
Siete looked down to the male Espada and smiled innocently, "I'm taking the book," she said and waved the black book on his hand.
Ulquiorra looked at the silver-headed with an are-you-stupid-or-what look and asked her, "Why didn't you just get a stair?"
Ulquiorra's fraction blinked at the green-eyed Espada a few time and asked back at her superior, "We have a stair in this library?"
That's it! She was awfully stupid! Of course they have! What kind of library that didn't have a stair? Ulquiorra let out a breath and spoke to the still-on-the-bookcase arrancar, "Enough, get down here. NOW."
"Hai, Ulquiorra-sama!" Siete said, grinning happily and waving the book to Ulquiorra which causing she lost her balance and… she fell from the 11 feet-highs bookcase! Siete was too shock to balanced her body and landed on her foot, so she just closed her eyes tightly, waiting to hit the ground.
WHAMP!!
Siete did hear loud sound; initialing something had hit the library's floor. But, strangely, she didn't feel the hard floor hit her; instead she felt something warm had caught her. She cracked her eyes to see what happened, and the next second her blue eyes were staring at something white. What? What was it? She blinked and realized: it was Ulquiorra's white jacket. Well, she was facing Ulqiorra white jacket, meant Ulquiorra had caught her right before she hit the floor roughly, meant she was LAYING ON THE TOP OF HIM. This fact made her blushing like mad, and she quickly looked up to Ulquiorra's face to apologize him. But she just found that he was staring back at her eyes.
As their eyes connected, again Ulquiorra felt something was wrong in him; he felt like there were thousand numbers of butterflies dancing wildly in his stomach. Hypnotized by Siete's beautiful blue eyes, there was something in his mind whispered and pushed him to hug the girl who was laying on the to of him now. 'Hug her, just go and hug her!' the voice kept whispering in his head.
"U…Ulquiorra-sama…? Are you okay?" Siete smiled nervously, face still as red as tomato.
Siete's voice snapped him back to reality and he realized that he must have dozed out about three minutes or so. "Get off," he said quickly in his cold, emotionless voice as he tried to kick out the stupid voice from his mind.
Give me smile and shine days,
By your smile I can withstand the cold of a frozen night
Even if my love reaches at the breaking point, 1/3 of it won't reach
My true feeling is just spinning in the air,
My heart isn't even saying "I love you"
Like rain in the middle of summer, the dry, bareness moistens, your smile is bright
Give me smile and shiny days, don't clear up so quickly!
Because we can overcome any wall that stands in our way
Another week had passed, and until now, that strange feelings still laid in the green-eyed Espada's heart. No matter how hard he tried to ignore them, no matter how hard he tried to kick them out of his chest, the result was just the same; it was useless. He couldn't understand why his heart always skipped beat every time he was close to Siete, why he couldn't threw his eyes away from her every time she was smiling, and why the heck he always felt the shivering feelings down his spine every time she touch him. It made Ulquiorra frustrated, it made he hated when Siete was around him, but in the same time liked it too. Weird, wasn't it?
"Ulquiorra-sama, is there something bothering you?" one night, Siete asked to her superior, plopping herself next to Ulquiorra who was leaning against an unused building of Las Noches, reading a random book beneath the moonlight.
Ulquiorra turned his eyes from the book to his fraction. He stared at her with his beautiful green eyes for a moment, 'She can read my mind or what?' he thought.
Then he asked back in his usual emotionless voice, "Why do you think there's something that bothering me?" And again, after stared at the silver-headed arrancar for just a few second, the shivering feelings inside him awaken.
Siete smiled with her usual warm smile, "It's simple, I can feel it. I can feel that you are bothered by something. So, what is it, Ulquiorra-sama? Mind to share your problem with your fraction?" Then she pulled her knees up to his chest and laid her head on them, readying herself to listen to her superior.
Ulquiorra flew his gaze to black sky above, staring at the moon, which was glowing in the same color as Siete's hair. His hand played with the white sands around them as his mind dancing inside his head. Should he tell her? Or shouldn't he? Well, he already realized that Siete was the source of this strangeness in him, so maybe she could help? Ah, yes, maybe she could help him to understand what were these feelings.
Deciding to tell the female arrancar about these stupid, strange feelings inside him, he rolled his emerald orbs to her and then he spoke, "I have something strange inside me this lately; something that I can't understand."
Siete raised an eyebrow, Ulquiorra, the Espada who always used his brain had something that he couldn't understand? That was strange. "Strange? What is it, Ulquiorra-sama?"
Ulquiorra thought for a moment, trying to find the fit words to explain about the strangeness. "I have a strange feelings toward a certain arrancar. Every time I'm close to her, I always feel like there are numbers of butterfly dancing wildly in my stomach, and then I find myself can't move my eyes from her figure," he said as his mind wondered why did he become so opened to just a lowly arrancar like Siete.
At this time, Siete's eyes grew wider. Seemed that she had understand what kind of feelings Ulquiorra had inside him to the 'certain arranccar'. But the green-eyed espada didn't notice his fraction's reaction so he kept continuing his explanation.
"And I always feel a shivering warm down my spin every time I saw her smile." Then the fourth espada looked at his fraction, this time, he saw that Siete's eyes were wide and her jaw dropped. "From your expression, I suppose that you can tell me what are these feelings I have," he said in a rather order tone, "So, what kind of feeling are these?"
The silver headed arrancar laughed frantically at her superior's question. "Ulquiorra-sama! The answer is really easy! The feelings you have are called as LOVE!!" she said as she held her side, trying to control her laugh.
"LOVE?" Ulquiorra asked bluntly at her.
"Yes, love," Siete said as she finally could stop her laugh, "I can say that you are falling in love with this 'certain arrancar'." She gave the confused Fourth Espada her best, warm smile to comfort him, since Ulquiorra looked didn't really understand about this 'love'. "It's okay, Ulquiorra-sama, it's not a bad feeling and it wouldn't hurt you either, although I never thought that you can fall for someone before"
Ulquiorra moved his gaze from the female arrancar next to him, now he stared at the beautiful night queen on the sky. Once again, he sank deep into his own thought; so this is love, the feelings that haunted him for these two months are called as love. Now, he had understood that he had fell for his own fraction, the 'certain arrancar', Siete Lumina. Yea, he had fell for her at the first time they meet, the first time his emerald eyes met her deep blue ones beneath the same silvery moonlight as this time.
"So, this is love?" he mumbled.
Siete nodded happily at her superior, "Yes, Ulquiorra-sama."
"Siete," Ulquiorra looked at Siete's blue orbs.
"Yes, Ulquiorra-sama?"
Ulquiorra didn't say anything for a moment, he just kept staring at Siete's eyes, enjoying the shivering love danced gracefully inside him and admiring how beautiful the 'certain arrancar' next to him was. "What if I say that the 'certain arrancar' I've fall for is you?" he asked the silver headed with his soft, emotionless voice, but you could tell that his voice wasn't as cold as before; this time, there was a soft warmth in it.
Siete's eyes once again grew wider and some color found its way to her cheek. "M-me?" she stuttered.
"Yes, you," Ulquiorra said firmly.
"Errr…" the female arrancar rubbed the back of her neck before she smiled shyly, "Say, Ulquiorra-sama, will you blast me with your cero if I say I love you too?"
Whoever you love, this image will reach them, right? Don't say you can find them, your words are dancing in the space
The further apart you go, the more it hurts the person you love
The more I chase them, the more my heart feels cruel distance
Give me smile and shine days
Give me smile and nice days
If only we could meet in an embrace
Whoever you love, this image will reach them, right?
If only you had said so in your dreams
Even if my love reach the braking point, 1/3 of it won't reach
My true feeling is just spinning in the air,
My heart isn't even saying "I love you"
