First Bleach story and I'm so excited. I love this pairing even though it will never happen but I'm still going to write about it. Anyways this story is based on a picture I saw of the pairing and I instantly got a story going in my head. So let's start the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or any name brands mentioned in this story.

Mini Love

I don't know how it happened but somehow I'm still here. I, Ulquiorra Schiffer, the 4th espada, or former espada, am standing here in front of Captain Yamamoto receiving my punishment for supporting Aizen. I shouldn't have been here, alive and shackled, but that woman, for some outrageous reason, found a small piece of me and brought me back to life. I should've been in the sand of Hueco Mundo; I should've been nothing but dust.

I looked up at the old shinigami and straightened my posture. I wouldn't show weakness here and especially not in front of the High Captain himself.

"Ulquiorra Schiffer, do you understand why you are here today," asked Yamamoto in his powerful voice.

I kept still and stared emotionlessly at him. He knew I wouldn't give an answer and decided to keep going with his verdict.

"The one called the 4th espada, it is has been brought to my attention that Orihime Inoue brought you back from the dead. Is this information correct?"

Again, I gave no answer. I just stared silently ahead with no reaction shown on my face. He took my silence as a yes.

"It is time for me to give your punishment. I have given this much thought and I have decided an interesting punishment for you."

I did my best not to clench my hands. My wrists were starting to hurt from being tied together and I just wanted him to finish me off already. I just hoped my second death would be quicker than the last one.

"You have been known to have no emotion and have never cared for anyone. Well, I'm going to change that. You are to spend the rest of your life on Earth and not in the form you are in. Because of your power, you will have to be…," he smiled, "down sized."

…

You have got to be kidding me. I would rather die all over again, which was actually what I was expecting. I just had to know why he would keep me alive.

"For what reasons are you keeping me alive for? Surely it is better to kill me since I have such power?"

"We are only doing a favor for the Inoue girl. She has asked us to keep you alive and find something else as a punishment than death or confinement. We had wrongly accused her as a traitor and we are only paying back our dues. But since this is such a huge favor, she has agreed to take you in her home and teach you how to care for others."

Not only was I being turned into a tiny figure but now I had to share a home with the whole reason behind this mess?! I was going to kill her, like I should've done long ago. I glared at Captain Yamamoto and clenched my hands into tight fists. Good thing my skin was already white.

"Now it is time for your downsizing, Ulquiorra. Guards, take him to Captain Kurotsuchi."

Two shinigami with long staffs stepped forward and grabbed the rope that was connected to my wrists. They moved me along like a dog on a leash. I was going to kill all the shinigami for this, and they would be slow and painful deaths. After walking for about five minutes we stopped in front of a laboratory of sorts. The door opened by itself and inside there was a big glass dome with some sort of tubing coming out at the top. Next to it stood a man with a black and white face and gold eyes. This was Captain Kurotsuchi.

"Ah. You are the espada to be miniaturized, aren't you? It's too bad that I couldn't experiment on you first but I must follow my orders."

He walked over to a big machine and started pushing these flashy buttons. The dome in the room started to rise up off the ground and left a platform. Kurotsuchi motioned his hand towards the platform and the two shinigami guards holding my rope lead me towards the dome. They positioned me in the middle of the platform and one of them cut the rope that tied my wrists together. The dome above my head quickly descended around me before I could go for the throats of the shinigami. They made a big mistake letting my hands go. When they had their backs to me I immediately changed into my second release form. I had been saving my energy enough for an opportunity like this. But before I could break out of the dome, the squad 12's captain pressed a big red button and something flashed before my eyes.

Okay, this is just the prologue but tell me if I should continue. Trust me when I say there will be more Ulquiorra and Orihime moments in the future. And the chapters will be longer than the prologue. Read and Review.
