Enter My World

Chapter 4: Comienzo

As I stepped out of the gargantuan, following close behind after Ulquiorra who walked towards the center of the park. It was the same exact place I had woken up in, the place he found me. He bent down to examine the ground, I figured he was doing what he was told to do so I stayed out of his way and walked around.

It felt like before, the breeze swaying the trees causing each leaf to dance, while the pale moon illuminated the earth to those who wandered late at night, the night sun. how brilliant seemed the night it was almost indescribable. As I let the breeze swallow me whole, my mind remained untouched and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

"Its funny, life is, I mean," I commented rather sadly. I felt Ulquiorra look up from his spot, waiting me to continue. I never was one to pour out my feelings, not to my friends, not to my family, especially to a stranger. Yet, I felt myself continue.

"I remember back when I was home, and I would here my parents argue constantly, being scared all the time of what the outcome would be, I remember wanting to be somewhere else," I replied as I turned to stare at him now.

I felt my eyes stinging, but luckily they did not give and I managed to continue. " 'Anywhere, any place at all,' I would think. Just not here," I walked towards him, my light dress swaying softly to the calmer night breeze.

"But look at me here, far away from home, far away from all those troubles. And I'm here missing them, to be over there," I continued sadly, remembering the pain I felt there, feeling the pain I felt now for not being there.

"I would have never thought I'd feel this way. It's funny how we wish for something new so desperately, but when we have it, we wish to go back. And then the cycle continues, never breaking," I added, it was true, or at least for me it had proved true.

"We humans are complex things," I finished as I looked up at the moon, wondering if she was sad too, seeing everybody's sad lives. I turned back down to see Ulquiorra who had stood up and remained staring at me, deciphering me.

Closing the little space between us I reached up my hand to touch his face, to trace those sad tears of his, forever engraved in his pale face. "Yet, I see you, an arrancar, troubled as well," I said before continuing. "We humans aren't the only ones-" I said before being cut off by Ulquiorra's sudden movement.

Ulquiorra's pale hand removed mine from his face rather firmly, not at all satisfied with what I had just said. "Do not ever compare me with you, humans," he said strictly, almost disgustedly. I felt my heart throb in pain, 'What was so wrong with us, with me?' I felt so lonely all of a sudden, worse than I had before stepping out of the garganta, as if all those meaningful acts Ulquiorra did for me had never happened, as if he had never felt that way.

I felt my eyes begin to water as he walked the opposite way, leaving me hurt and confused. I had just figured that perhaps to broken hearts could become one, and live on as one, rather than alone and hurt. Perhaps, they were just foolish and irrational thoughts.

Before I could mend my mistake, if it was reasonable to call it that, five figures appeared. They were in a rush and when they caught sight of us they immediately stopped, alert and afraid. I stared at them wide eyed and then back to Ulquiorra, awaiting for his instructions. I was afraid that a battle would commence as the five figures neared and I got a clearer picture.

Unmistakably, it was Urahara and his co-workers and beside him was the tall and strong Chad. I was struck with fear and unconsciously I made my way towards Ulquiorra, who was not too far away. "Ulquiorra?" I whispered softly as I tugged on his white sleeve.

Ulquiorra stiffened, not at my touch, but as he scanned the people in front of us with his perfect green orbs. I felt him move up towards the front, as if hiding me, protecting me. Despite his harsh words and actions previous from now, his actions showed the opposite. He did care, or at least I wanted it seem as if he did.

With a snap of his pale fingers a garganta opened obediently, thus ending our trip to the real world. "Who are you!?" the man with the green robe demanded as he examined us, but mostly I felt his gaze on me, making me feel even more uncomfortable.

Ulquiorra just gave a scoff before speaking to me, "Let's go," he repeated and then to Urahara and the others he replied rather confidently. "I did not come here to fight you," he said as he stepped into the garganta.

I stayed there unsure of what to do, this was my one and final chance to chose, whether to go with the good guys or the bad guys. Was I making the right choice by staying with Ulquiorra? Or was fate giving me one last chance to chose the correct path? Although common sense told me something, my heart told me something else. I stayed there debating my choices, but I knew the decision could not be prolonged no longer.

I turned to Ulquiorra sadly, letting him know of my undecisiveness. Ulquiorra stared at me, his green orbs showing me no emotions, even if he did have some. Letting me chose, he close his eyes and turned around and slowly began to walk back.

I faced Urahara and the others, was this really what I wanted? I had a choice, finally I was given the chance to chose, and here I am resigning myself to something I did not want. Whether I was making the right choice or not, I knew it felt right, so I turned back to the figure I had strong feelings for, despite our short time together.

"Wait!" I shouted as I ran in behind Ulquiorra, into the darkness, before the portal could close. I remember seeing his green orbs staring at me bewildered, wondering why. I smiled at him wholeheartedly. He remained staring at me, before turning his gaze away and continuing walking. As I walked alongside him, I couldn't help but feel that within than emotionless mask of his lied a smile, a smile of great relief.
