Love Colloid Chapter 4

Love Colloid Chapter 4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The VDs are a specified group of the Espada. They are assigned to Karukura High and follow their leader, Aizen Sousuke. The VDs is short for Vasto Lordes, and everyone in town knows to steer clear. They are a group of teenagers who are bound to Aizen, they must unwillingly follow him in order to protect the ones close to them. They are trapped.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was Sunday morning. Grimmjow, Stark, Halibel, Yammi, Nnoitra, and Szayel were gathered around the blue headed teen's living room.

Grimmjow was forced to join the Espada in order to protect his family. Unfortunately, he screwed up once and Aizen's henchmen assassinated them. Now, Grimmjow has nothing to live for. His only family is the VDs. Almost the same situation happened with the other members, which is why they stay in this group….to protect the last of those close to them.

"Grimmjow. Why are we here?" Halibel asked from her seat on his old couch, in between Nnoitra and Stark. Szayel was sitting next to Yammi on the couch opposite of them, and Grimmjow was sitting on a chair he pulled out from another room.

"We have a new mission I suspect." Szayel monotone, reaching to place his glasses back in place, which seemed to have slipped a bit down the brim of his nose.

Grimmjow nodded. "We have to investigate Ulquiorra's Schiffer and Orihime Inoue's relationship status by the end of this week."

"Orihime?" Nnoitra shot, "That hot chick is with that loner kid?" He scoffed, "Man, I was planning on hitting it up with her." Halibel shot him a stare and said, "Nnoitra, you know very well that you can't involve any one with us, unless its Aizen's saying." The lanky man rolled his eyes.

Yammi seemed bored of the situation and yawned. Stark had almost fallen asleep and fell into Halibel's lap. She glared at the man asleep on her legs, but ignored it. She turned back to Grimmjow.

"Does Aizen want to recruit one of them?"

Grimmjow had a bored expression on his face. He nodded, "Yes. He wants Ulquiorra to join us."

Nnoitora narrowed his eyebrows. "Us? What is there to 'us'? What does Aizen even want? All he has us do is run off around doing fucking missions, and for what? We don't even know what the hell he wants!"

A flash of memories swept across Grimmjow's eyes. A pain shot through his chest, he reached up to touch it.

"I don't know…" he choked out. His head hung and his blue haired covered his face, "I don't know what to do." He muttered under his breath.

It was so painful, to see someone's life ripped apart because of his doing. Every mission the VDs were assigned brought pain and remorse, not only to the victim, but to the group itself.

But even with that knowledge, the VDs don't want to allow the ones already a member to go through any more pain.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other side of town, down a gloomy alley, behind an aged door, stood three men.

"Aizen, what is it you want with Ulquiorra?" Gin asked, sitting across from the leisure man around the old round table. A smile played across Aizen's face. "Gin..did you seriously just ask me that?" He chuckled, "I don't want Ulquiorra."

Gin furrowed his eyebrows.

"I know that this is all new to you since you just recently been placed as my right hand man. Gin, let me ask you something….what do you think our goal is?"

The silver haired man shrugged.

Aizen started, "I'm sure you heard of Nel, correct? We have spoken of her at a few meetings. Most notably, our most recent one."

"Yes. I have heard of her. But what does that have to do with Ulquiorra and Orihime?"

Aizen gaze lingered forward for a moment before slowly closing.

"Nel was in fact my sex toy. This is what out whole thing is all about, the espada, the VDs, all the other organizations, its not easy Gin. Its not easy finding a woman worth your standards, we use these organizations to satisfy our needs. When I say 'our' I mean me and Tousen, but now you are included in that group"

Gin's expression remained still.

"So…" he started, "you want Orihime…for sex?"

Aizen nodded. "That's it."

"Then why do you want Ulquiorra?" He inquired.

"I don't," Aizen replied, "He is a pawn in this game that I consider my life."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ulquiorra and Orihime were sitting in Orihime's living room this fine Sunday night watching a movie together.

The orange head girl was dressed in pink sweats and a black tank top. She was huddled under a blanket.

On the couch seated next to her, was Ulquiorra. He was dressed in dark jeans and a white T shirt. His hair was messy due to a hard day at work and his eyes were almost blood shut. All he wanted to do was sleep, but he promised Orihime he would stay up and watch this movie with her, even if there was school tomorrow.

The room was dimmed. The TV was the only light being provided.

Ulquiorra turned his vision to Orihime. Her eyes began to slowly blink. He can see how she was struggling to keep them opened. It amused him…

Finally, after five minutes, she gave in and fell asleep. Her breathing slowed down, but she was still sitting up. Ulquiorra had been watching her this whole time. An idea sprung through his head. All these feelings…all the desires, it began surging through him.

Like a robot, he mechanically reached for the remote and turned off the TV. All the while, still staring at Orihime. It was now dark, but the light from the moon radiated her entire being…

It felt familiar…..

Ulquiorra stared at her. What a sight to behold. Slowly, he scooted over to her, trying to keep quite. Once his body was right next to hers, he gradually wrapped his arm around her shoulders and brought her closer to him so that she was leaning into his chest.

He sighed in content.

Ulquiorra didn't know what he was doing. 'Is this normal?' He asked himself. Orihime was his only friend, was it ok to act like this with her, especially when she was asleep?

That didn't matter now. All the times Ulquiorra had tried to suppress this urge, these feelings, it worked in the end. But now….now it was eating away at him. All he wanted was Orihime. His only friend, the one who was there when his parents abused him. He was there for her when her brother died. They had been side-by-side, yet complete opposites, but they fit, so perfectly.

All these ideas spun through Ulquiorra's head as he absentmindedly leaned in closer to her. His other hand held her chin at an angle. He could feel her breath on his lips as he inched ever so close.

These thoughts he had in the moment made it seem as if all he wanted to do was ok, and there would be no consequence. His lips were so close, they were about to meet hers

and --

"What am I doing?" Ulquiorra stopped. What was he about do? He let his feelings take the better of him for the first time ever. He felt disgusted with himself. Immediately, he stood up, causing Orihime to fall over on her side…still asleep on the couch.

He took his coat and left. Cursing himself for trying what he wanted so badly to do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grimmjow and the VDs completed their meeting later that day. They had a goal in mind, and that was finding out Ulquiorra and Orihime's relationship. Were they just friends? That was what they wanted to figure out. Not wanted to....but that was what the had to figure out.

The sun had set. The street lamps were Grimmjow'a only source of lighting. He had his leather coat slung over his shoulder. His dark jeans and black buttoned up shirt with a popped collar made him almost blend in with the background. But of course, the little light there was, was enough to make his vibrant blue hair flash even more greatly, so he still stuck out like a sore thumb.

His goal? Well…he didn't quite know that. 'What is Aizen's goal?'

Grimmjow sighed as he continued walking down the old street in the midst of the night. His mind went back to Nel. He always had a crush on her….one might even call it love. But the look she gave him when she told the VDs about her quitting and never coming back. He felt…betrayed. They all agreed on never quitting in order to protect each other…each other as in their own family.

The whole scene flashed before his eyes:

****

Grimmjow along with his gang was hanging in his living room. Stark was asleep. Nnoitra and Yammi were playing cards. Szayel was talking to Halibel about how the math teacher's formula for solving two-step equations was preposterous. Halibel nodded every now and then.

The blue haired teen was spinning in his computer chair. The only person he had on his mind right now was Nel. She was called over for a private meeting with Aizen. Grimmjow didn't know why it was only her, or why he couldn't come. But man…he certainly wanted to know.

After about ten minutes of being lost in thought, the door suddenly slammed opened. Everyone flinched from what they were doing and looked up at who was standing in the doorway. Grimmjow's eyes widened.

Nel was standing there. Her jeans were ripped around her thighs, her white shirt was also ripped on its side with some blood marks, it was also slightly lifted and you could see bruises on her waist. Her teal hair was in a mess and tears were presently falling from her eyes.

"Nel.." Grimmjow started with concern, beginning to stand up, "w-what happened?!"

"I QUIT!" she spat.

****

Grimmjow sighed remembering this. After that, she cut all ties with the VDs along with the espada. He was hurt. They all vowed never to leave each other, but here Nel goes quitting on them without an explanation.

"What did happen to her?" He muttered under his breath. Still after all these months…he never figured it out.

Grimmjow began to turn the corner as he sighed once again in frustration. Suddenly, his body came into contact with someone. He stumbled back and blinked his eyes from the shock. Once he had his composure back, he looked up and saw Ulquiorra.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ulquiorra had left Orihime's place with guilt coursing through his body. As he turned the corner, he bumped into Grimmjow….just the person he didn't want to see.

After he regained his composure, Ulquiorra stood with hands in pockets. "Grimmjow." He said, recognizing him. After a moment or two, the pale teen continued to walk past him.

Abruptly, a hand clasped on the black haired teen's shoulder.

"Ulquiorra…" Grimmjow started, facing Ulquiorra's back. There was a moment of silence.

Grimmjow noticed something different. He didn't know Ulquiorra well at all, but every time he actually did see him, he always seemed as if he was better then the rest of the world, following one person. But now….he lost that sense of superiority.

"…is something the matter?" Grimmjow rasped.

Ulquiorra took a step forward, out of Grimmjow's grasp. "That is none of your concern," and with that, he walked off. The blue haired gang member watched as he disappeared into the darkness. A perfect match.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was Monday morning. All the school kids were wandering off to their learning sights.

Halibel, dressed in her school uniform, was walking to school. Her pace seemed to slow down as she took in her surroundings.

She sighed.

She remembered how herself and Nel used to walk together every morning, how they chatted amongst girly things. She even remembered how the teal haired girl blabbed about her crush for that Kurosaki. But Halibel always lectured her on how she couldn't have any relationships with anyone outside the VDs.

*****

"Nel," Halibel started, flipping some hair back, "Why don't you go out with Grimmjow or Nnoitra? If you really like this Kurosaki guy, you would let it go so he doesn't get hurt."

Halibel knew of Grimmjow's crush on Nel, she was observant like that.

Nel sighed, "You know what…before you joined the VDs….about 3 months ago, I used to have a crush on Grimmjow. But he ignored me and was always rude to me. So I realized he'll never return my feelings. But although I'm the VDs, Kurosaki somewhat treats like someone normal. Imagine if I wasn't in the VDs and how he'll treat me!"

"Stop," Halibel shouted, "Let him go…or you'll know what'll happen."

*****

Halibel sighed again. Now look where Nel was. She quit the VDs and is with the guy that she liked. "Why couldn't that bastard Grimmjow control his feelings…." She stared at the gate of the school, remembering all that happened.

Suddenly a flash or orange passed her eyes.

Ulquiorra and Orihime were holding hands walking through the gate onto the school grounds. She could see that the black haired teen was extremely drowsy and he had bags under his eyes. She also heard the auburn haired girl blabbering something like,

"..my favorite part was with the robot! It would be so cool to be one, moving your arms like this and eating metal!"

They were now off in the distance, but Halibel could see and hear Ulquiorra slightly pulled her towards him and say, "Why don't you get braces then."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ulquiorra was terribly tired. He stayed up to long watching that movie with Orihime, he still felt disgusted with what happened, and Grimmjow was more of a nuisance than normally.

But he still put up with Orihime's random blabbering. Well, not put up. He enjoyed seeing her talk, especially the way she does. He liked it about her.

'Like?' he asked himself.

Orihime continue to drone on. "Maybe you could be the detective and solve everything. You already look like one and half the attitude." She began waving your arms around, "I'm sure if I was kidnapped you'll find me in a second because you are just cool like that!"

"Orihime." He said.

The young girl was brought back to reality at the sound of his voice. She also noticed his hand tightened around hers. Ulquiorra stopped walking and turned to face her fully, still holding her hand with both of his.

"I wouldn't just find you…I'll prevent something like that from ever happening."

Orihime stared into his eyes. His words rung through her ears, something else accompanied them, but she couldn't quite get her finger on it. She furrowed her eyebrows while trying to figure out what that was.

Ulquiorra continued to stare at her. The urge he had began to circuit throughout his whole body. He tried his best to suppress it, but after what happened last night, it seemed all to difficult then before.

Suddenly he noticed her eyebrows furrowing and her lips in a pout.

"What the matter?" He inquired. Orihime looked up. That expression quickly wiped off her face and was replaced with a immense smile and shining eyes.

"Haha. What? Oh nothing." She continued to walk towards the door, "And then you'll have your awesome hat with a coat and everything."

Ulquiorra sighed, but continued to walk along side her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Halibel stared at what just happened. What a perfect coincidence. The sight she just saw of those two almost gave her a diffident answer to her mission. Halibel was always an observant person, how else would she had known of Grimmjow's and Nel's crush towards each other before everything collapsed.

But after watching the scene before her, she was able to conclude that Ulquiorra had feelings for that girl, but Orihime to naive like Nel to notice or think much of it.

Planning to tell Grimmjow of this later, she walked off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ulquiorra was waiting for Orihime who was in the lady's restroom. He had much on his mind. He didn't like how those new kids Orihime was hanging out with were giving him looks of disgust.

His black hair fell between his eyes as he leaned against the wall, arms crossed.

Then he saw, down the hall, two particular people who were giving him looks ever since he came to this school. He knew them as Ichigo and Nel. His eyes widened with immense proximity. He backed off the wall and stared at them, his hands trembling.

Their lips were touching. His hands were on her waist, her hands in his hair. They were holding each other.

Ulquiorra didn't know what to think. All what he saw was exactly what he wanted to do to Orihime, but he thought what he wanted to do wasn't natural, but this…..what is this?

He couldn't help but stare; his whole body began trembling, oh how hard it would be to suppress this urge after seeing someone else actually do it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Halibel had just informed Grimmjow of what she saw.

Grimmjow had walked through the school door, and what he saw sprung a heap of pain through his chest. He saw Nel in Ichigo's arms. All he wanted to do pumble that orange head bastard to the ground and finally take Nel as his. His hands turned into a fist and clenched with such force.

Suddenly, he saw a few feet ahead of his was Ulquiorra. Grimmjow was facing his back and could easily see how his black hair and school uniform blended.

'Is he looking at the same thing?' That question spun through the blue-haired teen's head. Slowly, he walked up to him, suppressing the anger he felt at the moment. Once he was standing where he could see his face at an angle, but Ulquiorra couldn't see him, Grimmjow analyzed his expression.

He took it in and narrowed his eyebrows with confusion.

Nel and Ichigo walked off, holding hands. Ulquiorra's, along with Grimmjow's eyes followed them. Suddenly, Orihime walked out of the bathroom laughing.

Ulquiorra turned to face her. 'Why did she have to come out now?! After me seeing this!!" The ink haired teen mentally yelled to himself.

Grimmjow figured it out. The way he saw Nel and that dam Kurosaki touching and kissing must have confused Ulquiorra, and what Halibel turned him only caused it to make more sense.

Before Ulquiorra could turn around, Grimmjow sped off around the corner and into another hallway. He was getting closer to completing his mission, but all he felt now was remorse. He fell to the ground, leaning his back on the wall and sighed.

"Nel….."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Dam it! Not now!' Ulquiorra continued to yell at himself. He had Orihime's hand in his as they made their way to class. She was once again blabbering about Ulquiorra being a detective, but he blocked out all sound. He gritted his teeth.

'I…can't…take…it."

He was about ready to press Orihime against the wall and finished what he started last night. After seeing Nel and Ichigo do it, it made it seem all the more ok for him to do this.

-Love is like a Colloid. Neither solid or Liquid-
