I came back into reality after about ten minutes of simply trying to get to know Ulquiorra a bit more. But just like in the show, she showed no emotion. Always speaking in that monotone voice. I wanted to be creeped out, but instead, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I knew from the show that she was always alone, and I kind of understood that in a way. Going through high school without parents is tough. And because I had trouble connecting with other people I didn't have very many friends. So I swore to myself that I would try to help her out.

Anyway, once I came out of jinzen, I immediately stood up and walked out to the (currently empty) training grounds. Once I was there, I used the kaleidoscope to summon a tenshintai dummy. I used structural analysis on it and located the three-day limiter enchantment. I then used alteration to turn that off and add an energy absorption spell so that I could refuel the dummy if I needed too.

Satisfied with my work, I then stabbed Murcielago into the tenshintai.

There was a burst of dark green and black energy, which created a shockwave that would have knocked me flat on my ass if I hadn't braced myself. Said energy quickly coalesced into the form of Ulquiorra in her base form.

She opened her mouth to say something, only to be interrupted by the doors back into the castle slammed open, revealing Celestia and Luna standing in fighting stances.

"Jack! Are you alright? We felt a surge of dark-!" Luna started before noticing Ulquiorra, "Foul creature! Get away from our friend!"

With those words, Luna and Celestia both fired beams of magic which merged and made a larger beam right at Ulquiorra. It would have hit too if she hadn't used sonido to dodge. She then got right up in their grills and would have fired a bala straight through their heads if I hadn't grabbed her collar and pulled her back to make her miss.

"Would you all just calm down already!" I shouted, "Ulquiorra, these are the princesses I told you about! Celestia, Luna, Ulquiorra here is the source of some of my powers! Now chill before I kick all of you to the damn curb!"

They all stared at me, then exchanged a look, then looked away from each other with a grunt.

"Good. Now that that's settled, Ulquiorra, I'm going to need you to go over there so I can have a word with these two. I'll let you know when we're done."

She glared at me, likely because I just gave her a not so subtle order, then spoke.

"I thought I was supposed to be teaching you, why should I do as you say?" She said.

"I know I asked for your help, but I don't think you want to hear the things we'll be talking about. This shouldn't take long, I just need to explain some things."

She grunted and sonido'd over to the opposite side of the field. With a nod, I turned and glared at the two sisters.

"Alright you two, listen up cuz I'm only gonna explain this once." What you did was stupid as hell," I held up a hand to stop any protests, "I understand you were trying to help, but if I hadn't stopped her then she would have blown your heads off. And unlike me, you can't heal from that kind of thing. There's also the fact that you immediately jumped to the conclusion that she was my enemy. That dark energy you felt was me freeing her from the sword she was trapped in. Due to what she is, she will always feel dark. And before you ask, I'm not going to tell you what she is. She doesn't need me blabbing about all her secrets."

With a sigh and a shake of my head, I continued, "What I can tell you, however, is that she has not had a very good life. It's because of that that she will feel empty. She learned to suppress her emotions to the point she forgot she had them in order to cope. Be patient with her. Can you do that for me?"

I waited until they both nodded before nodding myself. Then I signaled to Ulquiorra that we were done, she sonido'd over and I continued to speak, this time addressing all three of them.

"Alright, now that we've all calmed down, how about we go to the kitchen and I'll make up something for us real quick."

They agreed and we went on the hunt for food.


Author's Note

Sorry, there was no boys and girls version lol.
Anyway, I'm not dead. I just thought I should tell you how this is going to work.

Alright so first off, I am not running on any kind of schedule. Nor is this story planned out except for the barest of barebones. As in, 'all I know is that this will focus on shenanigans, and maybe a bit of romance in the background.'
