We Meet Again {Ulquiorra}

[Shoshi Ana]

It was a nice enough day, nothing had gone wrong yet at least, school naturally had been utterly dull as usual but she did not have work today which was good because she could not stand teaching little kids how to do a high kick and whatever else she had to teach them, no that was all tomorrow, today was a day off and a good thing too she was still getting over the bruises she’d gotten from Hueco Mundo when she’d gone to investigate what the hell had been going on over there while Soul Society continued to bitch to one another, she was certain Ukei would not be willing to step out of line and break some rules to help and do the right thing, man the people in that place had a tight grip on their subjects that was for sure.

Ana came to a stop by the lake though, it was such a lovely place the way the light reflected across the water, how the ripples formed from the breeze alone. She remembered talking to Isshin along this very lake as she remembered being chased by her own father many years ago and while her eyes frowned a smile spread across her face before she walked down to the grass and stood by the water’s edge, how the water alone could calm someone down, she was unsure why that was but it worked and she liked that.

She pulled some hair from her face, she hoped her and her friends and Ichigo and their allies could save this place from the rising threat it would be heartbreaking to see it all destroyed it would be a nightmare on its own and the people of this town be then good or bad did not deserve to have their home become a war zone. Ana wanted to find the enemies base and take the fight to them not the other way around. Her eyes though looked up from the water as she sensed something, her own energy picking up on someone else's she knew that energy but she couldn't put her finger on it, what was it, who was it?

[cifer ulquiorra *]

Ulquiorra had came to the lake and he had been looking at the girl who he didn't even recognize at all. He just stood there by the lake and he just didn't know what he was going to do since he wasn't totally have all the memories of the Ulquiorra that this one knew. He just didn't know what he had done to her since he was just woken hours ago. He just been looking at her with innocent eyes and he was confused of why this town feels like deja vu. He was so much confused that he didn't know what he was going to do now.

He just sat on the rock, and he just put his elbow on the hilt he just don't know what he was going to say to her. He was so much confused of what this place was and why someone had made him. He just looked at her with a pure face he just looked sad and he hadn't know why he was ever made in the first place. He just been looking straight at her without taking his eyes off him. He had turned his hand to look in the lake, and he had been scared of his reflection that he had a hollow hat on.

He was just been looking at her and he just had a who are you look upon the face. He had no idea that this girl was angry at his past self. "Who are you, and what is this place?" Ulquiorra asked. He kept his eye contact since he didn't want to seem rude. He just been trying to figure out his own memories but he had felt like his memories were locked in a fog or they were almost completely vacuumed out.

He was very scared of what she might do since he probably looked a ghost of her past. He was just sitting there and gave her a genuine smile. He didn't know anything else since he had been wanting to get to know her a bit more. "I don't have any memories of anything." Ulquiorra said. That was the truth he didn't have the memories of most things in his head he was innocent since his creation.

"Why do you look like you are angry at me for something?" Ulquiorra asked. He just didn't know what to say to make it all better.

[Shoshi Ana]

The chill ran down Ana’s back, shaking her spine as she shivered and wriggled a little but she didn’t know what it was. She knew this feeling, this energy she felt but she couldn’t place it. She started looking around before spotting someone sitting on a rock. At first she was uncertain who it was but they were looking right at her, straining at her and even the distance between them she knew, she knew just by that feeling who it was.

A gasp escaped her lips as she stood frozen. It wasn’t possible, she saw him die, she saw what Ichigo did to him, she was glad when he was gone but here he was. It had to be him because the pressure was the same as his had been, she had no idea of his true nature but seeing him watching her with those eyes and that expression had a thousand questions going through her mind. She wanted to run, run away but she couldn’t move, why was he here, how was it possible! It made no sense to her. Her bag slipped through her fingers and she covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.

Ana remembered all too well what he had done to her and her friends, she did not feel pity when he died but how could he be standing or rather sitting before her now. Though her stunned shocked expression faded when he asked who she was. Seriously! How could he not know who she was, she was the girl he stabbed and kidnapped and tried to turn her into what he was! She glanced around cautiously, this place… he knew what this place was. It was like her world started spinning around. She heard him say he had no memories but she couldn’t help but think ‘bullshit’ to herself as her attention snapped back to him. Oh maybe she was having a hallucination.

She walked over to him and poked his arm, solid, she poked again, solid, she poked his shoulder several times before yelping a little and jumped back, good lord he was real! Her heart was racing in her chest trying to escape her body it seemed, the jack ass had lived, she didn’t know how but he had because here he was the same energy, the same body just all weird… maybe it was an act, maybe he was pretending to be innocent to lure her into a false pretence and then take her away some place and kill her.

“Why… why am I… why…” she said not able to form a sentence, of course she was angry “How the hell can I not be angry at you!” she snapped “What do you want… if you’re here you want something… is it Orihime, me, Ichigo… well you’re not getting any of us this time. I won’t let you” she said finding her ground though in all honesty she was shaking in her boots. Gosh she hoped this was some bad nightmare and she’d wake up soon. Ulquiorra sat before her being all innocent and saying the strangest things acting like he didn’t know her.

[cifer ulquiorra *]

Ulquiorra had looked with the same innocent blank look. He didn't know what she was actually saying. He had gently took her hand and kissed it out of respect. He hadn't wanted to cause her any of disrespect. He just looked straight at her, and he felt like she had been deeply hurt once he had felt like it was the guy who the person who created him got his DNA from. He just didn't know what he was going to say about this. He had been gently stroked her hand, and he was worried about her a lot more than he was about himself.

He didn't want to cause her any misfortune, but he really didn't know what the Ulquiorra of the past did. He had been wanting to make sure that she had felt right at home or at peace with him. He hadn't know why but he had wanted to protect her from whatever might come to pass in the future. Ulquiorra had been trying to make everything right that his past self did that seems to happen two years ago. He had also had patted her on the head. He had seem to wanted to apologize for his past self.

"I am sorry for what the past deeds had done on you, I don't know what you are talking about or why you are so angry with me. I haven't done anything wrong against ya I had been created hours ago. I don't know why but you feel like familiar but that can't be I am not the real Ulquiorra, I'm a mirror copy of him." Ulquiorra said. He had been trying to figure out what she was going to say or do he had been trying to figure out his own memories, or why he was created for in the first place. He had been trying to find out about himself.

"Um sorry miss I still don't know you but can we talk I promise not to hurt you. I just want us to talk for a while if that's okay." Ulquiorra said. He just wanted to know why he was even created for. He just trying to make a place for himself in this world, without the cause of the pasts events. He just didn't want to let her go since he had wanted to keep her close he just wanted to be forgiven for whatever the original Ulquiorra had done. He had looked at her with sad innocent eyes that he had truly meant. He didn't know what he was going to do about this she had looked too angry for him to tell her anything but here he was trying to listen to her and make her understand.

"If you are still angry with me after we had talked you can poke me again as hard as you want. I wouldn't mind at all. Since the pokes only sting for a while." Ulquiorra said. He hadn't taken her eyes off her since he had first arrived at the lake. He was still scared of his reflection, and he had been trying to figure out who had created him.

[Shoshi Ana]

He grabbed her hand as Ana’s eye widened, what the hell was he doing! He couldn’t just grab her she wasn’t a stuffed toy people could just grab however when he kissed her hand her eyes nearly pocked out of her head, since when did he do something like that, why would he even do that, who did that these days! She only knew one other person who had ever done that to her. Her eyes narrowed down on Ulquiorra; touching her was one thing but kissing her hand was another thing entirely. She was so tempted to slap him across the face but she resisted the erg to take such measures plus she was shit afraid of what he’d do if she did slap him. The Ulquiorra she knew would have grabbed her by the throat and either crushed her airways or stabbed her.

It was not until he started stroking her hand did she narrow her eyes down and pulled her hand away “What the hell is wrong with you” she said. There was no way whatever he was trying was she going to fall for it, charms didn’t work on, since when did he act this way anyway, since when was he real he was supposed to be dead, she had to be dreaming she figured she was probably back in class and had fallen asleep at her desk and was now dreaming about this, it’s the only thing she could think of. But why would she dream of Ulquiorra, but then again a dream made no sense because he was really before her and his spiritual energy was all around her she felt it like she had with so many others before.

When he patted her head though that was it an extreme expression of displeasure and anger spread across her face as she swatted his hand away her other hand forming into a fist, she wasn’t a dog! She was a person you didn’t pat someone on the head pretending like everything was ok. Though before she started drilling him about touching her he said sorry which had her blinking a few times, wait had he just said sorry? So then he went on about something happening a few hours ago and not knowing where he was and being a copy and not the real Ulquiorra. “Oh that’s the biggest load of bullshit I’ve ever heard” she snapped “You dam well know what you did, you torments Ichigo and all his friends, you kidnapped Orihime then we came and got her, you had Miko become our friend and then turn him against us and then you killed him, stabbed me, kidnapped and tortured me and tried to turn me into an Espada like you before Ichigo and the others came and got me and then Ichigo killed you… you’re dead” she added and then frowned so if he was dead, like really dead then how was he here.

Another confused expression crossed her face “Wait what do you mean you’re a copy and was only created two hours ago?” was he actually being serious here? No it had to be a trick all of it had to be a trick, he had somehow survived and had been hiding now he was ready to attack again but she saw him die, she had seen it with her own eyes so how was it possible. An annoyed sigh escaped her lips “It’s Ana not miss” she said, how could he have forgotten her name, how could he have forgotten everything… it had to be an act it’s the only thing that made sense to her.

Hearing him want to talk had her looking to the side for a moment, what the hell could he want to talk about and since when did he ever want to talk? Glancing back to him she saw that look and frowned a little, what if he was telling the truth? “Oh I won’t poke you I’ll knock you out” she stated before pointing a finger at him “If I find out you’re lying to me or if you so much as try to either kiss me again or kill me I will cut your head off” she stated warning him keeping eye contact before she sighed. Ok so she didn’t have her family sword on her but she could still make shields so if he did try anything she’d kick his ass… or try to. She was still afraid of him after all he could very well be lying to her for all she knew, not that she had pictured Ulquiorra to be a little actor.

[cifer ulquiorra *]

Ulquiorra had looked at her, and listened to her breathing just enough to keep himself calm. He didn't know what he was going to do about this. He was confused of what Ulquiorra had done and then when she asked him about him being a copy he had decided to answer all her questions. He just wanted to make sure that he had answered these truthfully. He didn't know what else he was able to do he doesn't remember anything about her or Miko so he had decided to asked. He did wanted to learn about what the real Ulquiorra had done.

"Who is Miko, and I meant when I'm a copy that I am a science experiment the person who made me had some of DNA of his and made me out of that DNA. I don't know what you are talking about at all. All I know was two hours ago when I had woken from my long sleep with the original Ulquiorra face and his body and his abilities and some of the memories of Ichigo and that of Okashi that was about it all the rest is in a fog or vacuumed out of me that I don't even know myself. I'm being truthful here. I know this is much to take in but I don't know what else to do would you possibly help me realized what the original Ulquiorra had done since I don't have those memories I can't even remember you are Miss Ana. I am trying to figure out why I even look like this Ulquiorra. That what the person who named had given me as my name. I have no recollection of you at all Miss Ana. Nothing is wrong with me. I don't have those memories either." Ulquiorra said.

Ulquiorra had put his hands on his lap and he just looked at her with the same blank innocent and truthful look. He just doesn't know anything but Ichigo and that of Okashi Schiffer. He just been wondering what she was even talking about or who Miko was. He had been confused about a lot of things but this girl he was one thing that he had been confused about. He wasn't even acting he just stood there not even trying to lie at all. He just didn't know what he was even going to do since he had been trying to figure out what his purpose of being made for. He had been scared of his own reflection, and he just didn't know what he was even going to do about this talk about him stabbing her.

"I think the Ulquiorra you are talking about is the original Ulquiorra he's still dead I only have his appearance his abilities and mostly two of all the memories he had. I don't know what he had done but I'm not him I'm just a clone of him. Whoever made me wanted me to look exactly like him. I don't know most things you are talking about since my creation. The only thing I remember is Ichigo fighting against Ulquiorra, Okashi being my subordinate, and that he had gained a human heart in the end. I had gained that same heart along with human emotions." Ulquiorra said.

He had looked at her so carefully that he didn't even seem to be bothered by her cussing. He just been a clone who had a purpose that only the new enemy had known. He had been trying to figure out what he was evening going to do about this life, and what he was going to do.

[Shoshi Ana]

Who is Miko! Was her serious man he really was playing dumb, she didn’t like it, she didn’t like anything about this at all, what was his overall intentions, he was acting all nice but Ana assumed it was all an act as confusing as it all was to her because she’d watched him die. Of course she listened to him her face only growing more confused. She wasn’t buying it though and could you really blame her. He claimed he was a clone but she never knew clones were even real why would someone clone Ulquiorra, maybe to get to Ichigo. Oh no way was she letting that happen. Though as Ana saw it somehow he had survived and woke up in a science lab all fixed up but had amnesia. Yea that made more sense to her than his story. Why would he want help though with his memory, maybe to see if the impact he had had on all their lives was still there.

“Miko is… or was a young boy whose father was an Espada, myself and Ichigo helped save his mother before you got a hold of him and turned him against us, when he failed to do what you wanted him to you made yourself known before you killed him… at least I think you killed him, that bit all gets a bit fuzzy in my mind” she said shaking her head a little because she didn’t remember it all clearly, after Ichigo and the others came to get her back things became a blur she had no memory of ever seeing Miko again.

Though hearing Ulquiorra claim nothing was wrong with him meant something was seriously wrong with him. “The Ulquiorra I’m talking about is you… you are Ulquiorra… you kill people for fun, your torture people for who knows what reason, you follow orders like a good little dog and you are manipulative… but for some reason you don’t remember any of that and assume you’re a clone or something. I mean how is that even possible, though how are you alive when I clearly saw you die” she said more saying the last little bit to herself than to him.

Maybe it was some scientist from Soul Society who had cloned him if he was a clone, if she believed that, I mean the guy who was the head of that science department was a nuts job this seemed like something he might do though it might be someone else entirely which was a worry, in fact if this guy was a clone then that was a worry on its own. “More seems like you gained the depression of the human emotions” she mumbled to herself looking away from him shaking her head. Ok so say he was a clone and she wasn’t saying he was but just for the hell of it she might as well try get her head around it, then who created him and for what purpose and why did he come here let alone make someone or Ulquiorra like this. “Where did you wake up exactly because I highly doubt it was here… did you like teleport from some place?” she questioned of course she felt stupid, this was stupid, how could he be a clone she was playing along with his plot and becoming a sucker… so she thought.

[cifer ulquiorra *]

Ulquiorra had been looking at her, he was had been thinking of where exactly he had woken up he had remember it was a lab of some sort. He was trying to figure out what he was going to say to him. He just wanted to make sure that he had answered her questions with a straight answer. He just didn't know who made him truly he had been asleep but he just was given the memories of what the person had wanted to give to him. He also wanted to be kept strong but he didn't know what the enemy was up to since he just was made to forget who made him until it was time. He had been looking at Ana. He just didn't know what he was going to say to make her believe him. He was just looked down at his hand trying to figure out what he was going to say to her to make her believe him.

"I am serious who is Miko, and what you mean that I'm the Ulquiorra I don't know what you are talking about. I am the clone I'm being honest with you. I don't know what you talking about there, where exactly did I wake up. It was in a scientific lab they were trying to make Ulquiorra make alive again since they heard that Ulquiorra had strike fear into people but they only gave the clone two memories all the other attempts had failed I was the only success." Ulquiorra said.

He was looking down at his hands and he had hugged himself trying to keep himself calm. He still hadn't known this female he just looked at her with a trembling hand. He just hidden his hand away and looked at her he just didn't wanted to concerned her with his own problems and he had thought she wouldn't care but he was trying to hide it more. He just couldn't hide the shaking in his shoulders. Ulquiorra wasn't cold he was just afraid that he had been trying to hide him being afraid behind a mask. He just didn't know if she would cared that he was scared of things that he might do if the person who made got control of him.

"Ana, I don't what to say to make you believe me that I am sorry I am truly am sorry that the original Ulquiorra had stabbed you and killed the boy but I'm truly am not him. I don't know what to do I'm not the original Ulquiorra but haivng his appearance would strike fear into people. I am truly am not him I just don't have the tattoo of number 4 where he had his tattoo on his chest. I am sure I am not that Ulquiorra." Ulquiorra said. He had been given Espada number 4 to fool others that he was the real Ulquiorra but he kept his hakama closed so no one would see his chest. He had been trying to calm himself down but that wasn't working at all. He just wanted to make sure that he had spoke truthfully and honestly with Ana.

[Shoshi Ana]

She was ready to pull her hair out, she was becoming increasingly frustrated at him, this was not the Ulquiorra she knew… no he was far more unpredictable and creepy, she could not tell if he was being serious or if he was pulling her leg here. She wasn’t though going to let her guard down around him because she was sure that’s what he wanted to happen

Ana sighed and grabbed her head with her hand “Ah shut up already” she said and lowered her hand kneeling down before him “How can you say you are sorry when you don’t even know what it is you did wrong? You can’t say you’re sorry until you know what you did is wrong and until you actually feel sorry you idiot” she added, so ok she was attempting to say something nice there. She stood up, man she was getting a headache, what if he was telling the truth, what if he was a clone.

“Wait you said you don’t have a number 4 on your chest right… well let’s see it then” she said wondering what else he didn’t have, of course anything could have removed that number 4 though she was unsure if their type of tattoo’s could be removed “Ah actually never mind” she said shaking her hands and sighed again. “You know you’ve gotten really pathetic why someone would even bother making you the way you are is beyond me…” she said he seemed more like a failure than a success… why would they make someone like Ulquiorra to have emotions.

Glancing to him she frowned “You’re really telling me the truth aren’t you?” she asked him a little worried, if that was the case then why the hell would someone want to bring him back, I mean she knew that he had said why but like this? It made no sense what so ever. Her frown grew more once again she was falling for this trick, but maybe she could use it to her advantage, get some information from him, bringing Ulquiorra back though was a worry be him the original or not. “So you are not the first time they tried then. What do you remember exactly?” she questioned.

[cifer ulquiorra *]

Ulquiorra had been looking over towards Ana, and he was telling the truth. He just didn't felt like this and he had been thinking of how to answer what he had remembered. He decided to go with it and answer her questions about it. He just didn't know how she would take it and he was truly the success he had been trying figure those before. He had been falling through life just trying to find a way to keep himself strong. He had no idea of what he was going to do about this life that he was given. He had thought for a second. He just didn't know where to start.

"The thing I remember exactly is that the person who was making me was talking about Ichigo and the others and what happened two years ago that Ichigo helped the Shinigami. After that I don't know what is in my head I was asleep at the time. They constantly had me asleep and played music so I would stay asleep until they were ready to put me into Karakura town the music would be hypnotic and it would put me in a sleep daze. And there was a girl name Okashi. That's all I remember." Ulquiorra said. He had been trying to figure out what she wanted exactly to know. He had been looking at her, and he didn't know what he could tell her that she had wanted to know. He just been trying to keep himself from listening music.

"I am really telling you the truth I don't know much about anything and you asked me what I do remember so that's all I can remember the others were a failure they called me a success don't know why. I am wondering about that. I don't know what you want me to say I am confused about myself and I don't know why I even got Ulquiorra's appearance. I would like to know what the original Ulquiorra was like since I don't know about what he was like at all." Ulquiorra said.

He was just been trying to figure out what he have to say to convince her that he wasn't that Ulquiorra that had hurt her.
