A/N: Hi, XxAnimeandBookLoverxX, here! This is my first Ulquihime fanfic, so please be soft. Not also that, but is has nothing to do with the plot in Bleach in anyway. It's a made up story, by me, that has all the original characters but there is nothing about Shinigami, Arrancars, Zanpakutous, Spirits (well, maybe), and ETC. Enjoy. And it starts of with Ulquiorra's Pov. But I'm starting off with a poem for this chapter. And, yes, this is the preface.

Summary: Ulquiorra is a vampire in the twenty-first century, who doesn't believe in love and the love in others. Only the love to himself. He grows tired of his "nightly" job, but that's the only way to keep his instincts and lusts alive. The immortality he's been blessed with bores him and he sees humans nothing but trash in his eyes, even though he knows how to control himself. But that's when he met her. Orihime- an abused teen beaten from her brother's girlfriend. He starts having feelings he's never felt before in centuries and starts to realize what love is and where it comes from.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bleach, it belongs to Tite Kubo.

Darkness may hide the trees

and the flowers from the eyes

but it cannot hide love from the soul.
