I really do enjoy the pairing of Ulquihime, I do not care what other people thinks. Why did Ulquiorra have to die in the manga? Ulquiorra deserve to live to be with Orihime and it is no fair Kudo. It’s no fair at all, but I hope you all enjoy this story.

I was still thinking doing to songfic with “Numb” (Techno Remix) by Linkin Park, but I have other plans with the fanfic. I hope you leave a review ok, thank you Silver Horror logging out.

Tonight, Tonight – Smashing Pumpkin

Bleach – Tite Kudo

Tonight, Tonight

Ulquiorra walking through hall to the music room alone without anyone watching to his master’s entertainment, he did not want anyone to know about his talent while everyone is sleeping. He passed by Orihime’s room carrying a book of piano notes and he checks to see if she was sleeping. He make a quick peek, he sees her sleeping on her bed dreaming away. He left the room without emotion. He said in his mind, “I hope no one knows about my talent.”

(Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins begins to play as a background music as the moonlight shine on Orihime.)

Orihime quickly wake up from her sleep, she slowly sneaks out of the room with Wonderweiss behind her. “Are you sure it is a good idea?” said Orihime to Wonderweiss. “Ah,” said Wonderweiss grabbing her by the hand and they continue to follow him into the music room. “Where are you going?” said Barragan coming out of his room. “I don’t know, but Wonderweiss wants me to follow,” Orihime said. “IF you are curiosity, I will show you where you going,” said Barragan as he show them the way to the music room.

Ulquiorra: Time is never time at all.
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth,
And our lives are forever changed; we will never be the same.

“Thank you!” said Orihime as Barragan petting Wonderweiss on the head. He lead them straight to the double doors, he open the door that reveal to be an orchestra-like stage. They are on the second floor sitting down on the chair, Wonderweiss struggle sit down, but stumble on the floor. Orihime help him back up again and Barragan settle down Wonderweiss on his lap.

Believe, believe in me, believe. (believe)
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain.
We're not the same, we're different tonight.

They noticed that they were other arrancars all over and Barragan explain to Orihime, “Each night, someone has a talent playing beautiful music with a piano. We haven’t figure out who is behind it, but we will soon find out soon.” As Aizen walk in, they all hide and he slowly look around his surrounding before sitting down on his throne. “It seems to be too quiet,” said Aizen said in his mind, “Too quiet.” Ulquiorra coming out at the backstage, Orihime notices and she said in her mind, “He is behind the piano all this time.” “Saugh!” said Wonderweiss. Barragan quiet him down by giving him cotton candy, Wonderweiss begin to devour the cotton candy. Barragan smiles at him as he eat, Orihime stare at Ulquiorra as he play a violin peaceful. Orihime said in her mind, “He plays very beautifully.”

Tonight, tonight, so bright.
Tonight, tonight.

Gin comes up behind her and they mysteriously disappear without Barragan and Wonderweiss. Orihime realize that she was on stage right in front of Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra stop playing dropping the violin and he stare at Orihime for a second. Orihime got a little nervous staring into his eyes; they both stare for a second. Gin come up to Aizen and sits next to him, he whispers to Aizen causing him to become more interests. On top of the balcony, Loly stare envious at Orihime on the stage and Menoly tries to calm her down, but she refuse to calm down. She turn away, she left the area plotting her revenge with her partner behind them that will make them regret.

And you know you're never sure, but you're sure you could be right;
If you held yourself up to the light.

Ulquiorra grabs her by the hand, he put his arms around her back and she did the same. They both begin to dance on the stage as the music continue to play by Grimmjow and the Espada in an orchestra way. They both dance even more as they begin to enjoy themselves as Stark changes the background of the stage into beautiful scene on the lake. They both continue to dance their heart out. Orihime did not realize that she was wearing a beautiful dress made by Ishida himself sitting at the end of the stage. “Do not be afraid,” said Ulquiorra as they both went close almost about to kiss until Loly set the stage on fire in the dress up room.

And the embers never fade, in the city by the lake;
The place where you were born.

They did not realize that it was fire; Kaname and Grimmjow notice the fire. They try to take it out, but it did not work at all. Loly activate the trap door under Orihime, Orihime fall inside and Ulquiorra struggle to pull her back up. The burning wood hit him on his back causing him to slip unconsciously and Orihime fall down on the soft bag. She got up as she struggle to look around a way out, she notice Menoly right in front of her blocking the exit. Loly show up from behind punch her in the face causing to fall the ground and she struggle to get up. Loly was about to kick her in the face until Wonderweiss charge in for an attack with Barragan held Menoly back. “Why that brat?” said Loly in anger staring at Wonderweiss. She was about to attack him, but Barragan grab her by the end. “You should know better than that!” he scolded at them as Wonderweiss climb up to Barragan’s shoulder.

Believe, believe in me, believe. (Believe)

Orihime scream in terror after her foot was stuck, it trigger Ulquiorra to gain back his conscious. Ulquiorra turn into his true form as he dive down into the floor, he scream her name as he go through the rubble. Everyone call his name to give up, but he did not. Wonderweiss help as well while Barragan keep an eye on Menoly and Loly who sent straight to Aizen. Ulquiorra finally found her unconscious, he lift her up into her arms and escape outside. He lay her down on a ground, Szayel check her pulse and he turns to Ulquiorra with sadness in his eyes. “No, this can’t be happening!” said Ulquiorra showing no feeling, “Who was the cause of it?” Loly and Menoly standing in front of them, they are in so much trouble after Aizen give them a glare. “Now I know your true selves,” he spoken, “You kill the hostage and she did not do anything to you. You disobey my order and you should be a shame of yourself. You have disgrace your own kind by disobeying my order on not to harm the girl.”

In the resolute urgency of now.
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight.
Tonight, tonight, so bright.
Tonight, tonight.

Ulquiorra did not say a word to anyone, but secretly moan without showing any feelings. He failed the mission to protect her, but he lost his only friend and love. Loly and Menoly did not care at all about punish until Kaname kill them brutally and all hope is lost until Orihime slowly wake up from her dreams.

(The song paused)

Ulquiorra look up at her seeing Orihime slowly getting up on her own staring at him, everyone gasp in shock after she wake up. “I will never leave you,” said Orihime as she wake up. She reveals a hole on her check with a hollow mask that is shape like two butterflies on the two sides of her hair like a bow. She went straight to Ulquiorra and hugged him close to her. She whispered, “We haven’t finishes the play.” “But you are hurt,” he said to her. She smile and dance around the ground as the wind blow. He did not have choice seeing Aizen waiting patiently. “They want to know how it going end,” she whisper to his ear. Grimmjow and the other begin to play the song for Ulquiorra and Orihime to continue their dance after he change back to normal.

Ulquiorra: We'll crucify the insincere tonight. (Tonight)
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight. (Tonight)
We'll find a way to offer up the night. (Tonight)
The indescribable moments of your life. (Tonight)
The impossible is possible tonight. (Tonight)

On the final performance, Shun Shun Rikka (Six Flowers of the Hibiscus Shield) appears from nowhere dancing around summoning flower petals around Ulquiorra and Orihime.

Ulquiorra: Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight.

As they end their dance, they went closer to each other. Orihime stare Ulquiorra when she blink she sees Ichigo with a smile on his face. As their face come closer as they kiss the night away, but Ichigo faded when her eyes seeing Ulquiorra right in front of her.

Tonight, Tonight.

Orihime and Ulquiorra kiss each other once more, then the petals went up to the sky as each petal exploded to the sky ending performance.

Tonight, Tonight.

The real audience applauded as the curtain close, Ichigo said as he enjoy the play, “I thought this play would end worst, but it is not that bad.” “Not that bad?” said Rukia looking at him apathetic, “it was remarkable.” “Indeed!” said Ishida. “Well, you can’t blame them,” said Renji as they come out of the theatre, “Except those two arrancars really are spoil brats.” “Why would to title would be The Princess and Hollow?” said Ichigo to them. They all left the area leaving Ichigo alone in theatre, he said, “IT IS JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION.” The lights went off and Ichigo heard the door close leaving him lock up inside.
