Thanks for discovery this story!

And the fact that you found it was so amazing.

At first I intend to post all in one. But then I separated in chapters just for easy to relate.

Each chapter is sometimes short and sometimes long, but I like the meaning of those titles.

Let's me tell you what you would expect when you are reading my story. It's all about Ulquiorra and Orihime. Of course.

The title has already said it all. But maybe you would get the meaning until chapter 2.

Disclaimers: I do not own Bleach and their characters (definitely); they are all masterpieces from Kubo-sensei~

Some parts may sound weird in English; because I'm not an English Native one. Ha ha ha.

I also randomly used italic word to describe the thought of the characters or maybe it just some strong feeling of characters I want to put in to that word.

CHAPTER 0 - PROLOGUE: THE END IS THE BEGINNING

The war was intense.

No one knew which side would strike first again. Both sides had their casualties. All of shinigami were injured from bad to worst. Only the ryoka still had the strength to stand.

All of the Espada were dead. Tousen was dead. Aizen was alone right now and being surrounded by shinigami and ryoka.

Where was Gin? No one knew. But Matsumoto was not here either.

Aizen had got things he wanted: Hogyouku and Ouken. Now the only thing he had to do was awaking the Hogyouku and used it on the Ouken to open the Spirit King Realm.

In order to do that, he needed...

Orihime.

Using shunpo, Aizen flashed step toward Orihime who was in the middle of the ryoka group within a second.

But before Aizen could lay his hand to grab her, a pale hand with black nails pulled her in the opposite way within an instant.

Aizen's eyes were widely opened. He didn't expect it. It was not in his plan. No, he was sure the one in front of him shouldn't be here at this moment.

Because "he" had been already dead. It was Aizen who killed "him". He was sure that he had seen "his" body turning to ash.

"I didn't see you coming." Aizen said with his half-hearted smile. "Ulquiorra."

JinxJen's note:

This is the first story I ever made. I can't believe that the love I have for UlquiHime could inspire for all my sense of imagination.

Also, I have to apologize for the writing because I'm not exactly very proficient in English.

Even if I tried to use GORGEOUS words, I fail miserably. I just keep thinking it would be better if I use simple and easy to understand words.

See you in the next chapter.
