Laughter filled the air as two young children ran through the large field of flowers. A young girl and boy, both around the age of six or seven laughed as they took turns chasing each other around. The young girl had beautiful brunette hair that fell just above her butt, and bright, ocean blue eyes. Her skin complexion was a rich, very light beige; her cheeks a luscious rosy pink with a small amount of freckles, barely noticeable. She was average height and had a very nice figure for a young girl such as herself. The young man, however, had a very dark shade of brown colored hair, along with deep, forest green eyes. His skin complexion was very pale that could pass for white, a slightly pinkish color added to his cheeks. He was tall for his age, as well as lanky. The two looked as if they had known each other since birth.
“Catch me if you can!” The young girl sang as she ran from the boy.
“I’m gonna catch you! Then you’ll be it!” The boy called out to her, both of them laughing.
The young girl suddenly gasped when the boy tackled her to the ground then laughed.
“Your turn to be it!” The boy sang and got up, running off in the opposite direction.

Both the young boy and girl had known each other since they were in diapers. Their mothers had known each other for a long time, and both had gotten pregnant with their children around the same time. The young man, though, was a few months older then the girl. The two children knew each other throughout their school days, and spent every second they possibly could together. Some had confused the children for brother and sister; some confused them for a very young couple who had not yet discovered love. However, the truth was they were the best of friends; no one could break the bond they shared. The girl had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, and the boy had grown into a handsome young man. Both still shared the same bond they did when they were little. They both still resembled their younger selves, with just a few noticeable changes.
“So, are you going to the dance?” The young girl asked, now around the age of 16.
“I’m not sure. I don’t think I will.” The young boy answered, also about the age of 16.
“How about both of us go together? You know, as friends?” The girl suggested, swinging her legs over the side of the cliff.
“Alright, that sounds good.” The boy answered, and they both smiled at each other.
“I’m glad you agreed. Come on, we should go tell our parents that we’re going to the dance.” The girl said and stood up, dusting herself off.
“Okay.” The boy answered and stood up as well.

The woman’s hair had grown out to the back of her knees, and her ocean blue eyes remained the same. Her freckles had faded, but her cheeks remained that luscious rosy pink color. Her skin complexion darkened slightly over the years, though it was still very light. She had also grown chest wise. They were not too big, nor not too small. She had truly, grown into a beautiful young woman that no man could resist. The man had become taller and had a nice muscular build, though not too muscular. His hair had grown out past his chin, and his eyes became slightly lighter. The man and woman were now around the age of 21 or so. They both also held feelings for each other, but were too afraid to admit it to the other.
“Hey, Ulquiorra. Let’s make a promise.” The woman blurted out suddenly. She and the young man, Ulquiorra, were sitting atop a well, staring at the star filled sky.
“What kind of promise?” He asked, turning to look at her.
“Let’s promise each other to never forget one another, and always be together. No matter what.” She said, still staring at the sky.
Ulquiorra remained silent for a long moment. Though, he instantly smiled when she turned to look at him questionably.
“Alright. I promise.” He said, causing the woman to grin hugely.
“Okay! Give me your pinky!” She said, holding out her own pinky finger. Ulquiorra and the woman locked fingers and shook their hands up and down once.
“There, it’s a promise. If one of us breaks it, we have to stick a needle in our eye.” She said, causing Ulquiorra to chuckle.

Ulquiorra and the young girl soon confessed their feelings to each other, and were now in a committed relationship. They held a deep love for each other, and watched out for one another. They were the ideal couple, most envied their love and relationship. No one had thought they would end up together, since they seemed more like brother and sister. They moved in together in a one-bedroom apartment, and lived happily together. Ulquiorra supported both himself and the girl with a good paying job. The woman stayed at home and cleaned, and made sure dinner was ready when he returned home from work. They were, literally, the ideal couple. The two were happy together, and they loved each other more then anything in the world.
“Welcome home, love!” The woman said happily, wrapping her arms around the man she loved.
“It’s good to see you. How was your day?” Ulquiorra asked, placing a soft kiss on the woman’s lips.
“It was okay, though I was lonely without you here.” She said and made a pouting face, which he quickly kissed away.
The two remained in that position for a long time. Ulquiorra began to sway from side to side, humming softly as he kissed the top of her head.
“I have to ask you something.” He suddenly said, pulling away from her. The young woman looked at him, confused. The young man dropped down on one knee and pulled a small, black velvet box out of his coat pocket.
“I love you more then anything. Please, make me the happiest man in the universe and marry me.” He said, staring up at her with the box in hand. He opened it and revealed the beautiful, triple diamond white gold ring to her.
Tears welled up in the woman’s eyes as she stared at him, covering her mouth with both of her hands. Unable to speak, she nodded furiously and squealed as she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him with all the love in her heart.

It was the day before the wedding and the two were not allowed to see each other that night. Ulquiorra went to his Bachelors party with a few friends, while the woman spent the night in the apartment with a few of her friends. Even though a Bachelors party was supposed to be for men who are sad to see their single days go, Ulquiorra was not sad one bit. He could not wait until he said the famous words ‘I do’, nor could he wait to sweep his beloved bride to be off her feet. He had no interest in any other woman; she was the only one for him. The woman also could not wait until she said ‘I do’. She was in her room, looking at herself in the mirror with the wedding dress pressed up against her body. She smiled contently and turned to the one girl she trusted most in the world. Her mother.
“I can’t believe my baby girl is getting married. You’ve grown up!” The middle- aged woman said, wrapping her arms around her daughter.
“Mom, it’s not like I’m going away forever! Please, let go!” She said, struggling to push her mother off.
“Oh, honey. I’m sorry. It’s just, it feels like only yesterday I was changing your diapers.” The woman said, tears welling up in her eyes.
“You’re aging too fast, Mom. We’re staying here, so you can visit us all you want!” The bride to be said with a heart-warming smile on her beautiful face.
“I love you, baby girl.” The mother stated a few moments later, hugging her daughter once again.
“I love you too.”

The wedding day had come, and Ulquiorra was awaiting his bride at the end of the aisle. He wore a jet-black tuxedo with a small rose, the same color as the woman’s eyes, in his jacket pocket. When the music started once again, warning everyone that it was time for the Bride’s march down the aisle, everyone stood up and turned to look for her. There she stood, at the opposite end of the aisle in the white wedding dress. She held a bouquet of blue roses, the same as the one in Ulquiorra’s jacket pocket, in one hand. She held her father’s arm with her other hand. Slowly, they began walking down the aisle, a huge smile covering her face as she stared at her soon to be husband. Ulquiorra took the woman’s hand from her father’s once they reached the end of the aisle, and then lifted the thin veil from covering her face.
“I do.” Ulquiorra said with a genuine smile on his face.
The priest repeated the same question to the woman, and she answered, “I do.”
Everyone stood up and clapped for the newly wedded couple as they shared their first kiss as husband and wife. Both Ulquiorra’s and the woman’s mothers’ were crying as their fathers just chatted away.
“Have a great time on your honey-moon! Call me, okay!” The woman’s mother shouted as Ulquiorra and the woman drove off in a baby blue Cadillac.
“I love you, Ulquiorra.” The woman said, leaning against her husband’s shoulder.
“I love you too, Mrs. Schiffer.” Ulquiorra said and kissed her softly.

A couple of years passed, and the couple were just now returning from the hospital. The young woman had given birth not long ago to a beautiful, healthy baby boy. Ulquiorra was driving while the young woman was in the back with their newborn baby. They had named him Sean. [Don't ask, I'm not very creative! XP] The baby boy had his father’s bright green eyes, but he had his mother’s chocolate brown hair. He looked a lot like his father in many ways. Sean was looking around the car, a neutral expression on his face. He wasn’t sure where he was, what was happening or who the two people were. The young girl was smiling widely while holding Sean’s tiny hand in hers. She was amazed that she and Ulquiorra had created such a beautiful baby boy.
“He’s so beautiful, Ulquiorra.” The young woman stated softly, kissing Sean’s forehead.
Ulquiorra smiled, glancing at them through the rearview mirror. “Yeah, he is. You did a good job, honey.”
The young woman smiled more. “I’m so happy right now. I couldn’t ask for anything better than this.” She whispered.

One year after the birth of their son, Ulquiorra and the young woman had to leave town for a few days to take care of some family issues. The problem was, they couldn’t take their son with them. Sean had a weak immune system like his mother, and taking him over the state border could put his life in danger. The young woman had a friend she trusted more then anything, so the couple decided to leave Sean in her care until they returned. The woman and Ulquiorra were sitting in the friend’s living room right now. Sean was sitting up on the sofa next to his father, holding on to him for support. The woman and her friend were chatting away, trying to figure out when they would be back.
“Thank you so much for taking care of our son. I really appreciate this, Monica.” The woman said as she and Ulquiorra walked to the door.
“It’s no problem. I love kids, especially little Sean. He’s an adorable baby.” Monica stated, smiling.
“Take care of him. We’ll miss you, Sean!” The woman stated, kissing her son’s forehead.
Ulquiorra kissed his forehead as well before the two walked to the car.
“Good bye! See you in a week!” Monica called out as the two drove away. But she had no idea that was the last time she would see Ulquiorra.

It happened just outside the city they were heading for. A drunk driver wasn’t driving with his headlights on and he couldn’t see anything. The drunk driver crashed right into the driver’s side of the couple’s car. The door caved in and crushed the entire left side of Ulquiorra’s body. The woman, however, was unharmed. The woman stared at Ulquiorra in pure shock. Ulquiorra had blood all over his body, his eyes wide when he realized what happened. The woman reached over and touched his face, hoping that it was just a dream. But it wasn’t, and that scared her more then anything.
“Ulquiorra! Please, say something!” The woman shouted, shaking his shoulder.
Ulquiorra coughed up blood and closed his eyes. “A-are you… alright?” He asked through a shaky voice.
“I’m fine, but you’re not!” The woman shouted, pulling her bloody hand away from his face. “Just hang on, I’m calling 911!” The woman said in a panicky voice.
“N-no…” Ulquiorra whispered, trying not to stutter. “I-I’m fine.” He said.
The woman shook her head. “No, you’re not fine! The entire left side of your body is crushed!” The woman shouted.

The couple had made it to the hospital. Ulquiorra was clinging to the last bit of life he had left, as well as the woman’s hand. The woman would not stop crying, nor would she stop begging Ulquiorra to stay alive. It was her voice that kept Ulquiorra from dying. The paramedics were doing all they could to save his life and keep him alive. They even tried to get the woman away from him, but they soon realized it was impossible. It was impossible to separate the woman from Ulquiorra, especially in a time like this. The paramedics were performing CPR while others were trying to save some of his major organs.
“Please, Ulquiorra! Don’t leave me!” The woman pleaded, holding Ulquiorra’s hand tightly.
“I-I’m…sorry…” Ulquiorra whispered in a shaky voice.
“No! Don’t say that! You’re going to be fine! They’ll fix you up, and then we’ll go back to our son, together!” The woman said, but Ulquiorra had already given up.
“Remember the promise you made to me?! Remember,” She asked “you said you would never leave me, so why are you doing this?! Please!”
Ulquiorra chuckled softly but coughed once again. “F-Forgive…m-me. I couldn’t keep… my promise.” He said, opening his eyes to see the face of the woman he loved one last time.
“No! Don’t leave me, please!” The woman shouted.
“I-I… love you… Terra S-Schiffer.” Ulquiorra whispered, pulling her hand up to kiss it.
“Ulquiorra, no! Don’t go! Don’t go! Don’t go! Don’t go!” Terra repeated those two words over and over. It was too late though. Ulquiorra had died.

Several months have passed after that fateful day. Terra had returned home, but she was never the same woman. She isolated herself from others and refrained from leaving her room unless necessary. Her son, Sean, was confused about where his father was but also curious about his mother’s strange behavior. He had never seen his mother cry so much on the day when everyone was dressed in black. This day was different though. Terra screamed into the pillows of her bed, while punching the soft mattress. She couldn’t take the pain anymore. Once she calmed down, she got dressed and took her son to Monica’s home.
“Please, just take care of him. I can’t tell you why.” Terra said, staring at the floor.
“Terra, you’re acting strange. I’m worried about you.” Monica said, holding Sean in her arms. “Are you alright?”
Terra nodded but didn’t say anything. She stood up, patted Sean’s head then walked out of the house without another word.
“Terra…” Monica whispered, but turned her attention to Sean when he began to cry.

Terra drove home, trying to keep herself from crying. She was planning to end the suffering tonight. She couldn’t live without Ulquiorra. Terra knew what she was leaving behind, and she hated herself for it. But Sean would grow up to be a wonderful man, she knew that for sure. Terra got out of the car, not even bothering to lock it. She walked up the stairs to the one bedroom apartment and closed the door. Her heart was beating fast as she walked to the kitchen, opened a drawer, and pulled out a butcher knife. Terra held the knife against her neck, fresh tears falling down her face.
“I’m sorry…Ulquiorra.” She whispered, swiping the blade across her neck.
Terra fell to the floor, blood spewing from her neck. “F-forgive…me.” She said.
And with her last breath of life, she whispered, “I’m coming for you… my love.”
Seconds later, death claimed her body and she lay there lifeless.

Ulquiorra chuckled softly but coughed once again. “F-Forgive…m-me. I couldn’t keep… my promise.” He said, opening his eyes to see the face of the woman he loved one last time.
“No! Don’t leave me, please!” The woman shouted.
“I-I… love you… Terra S-Schiffer.” Ulquiorra whispered, pulling her hand up to kiss it.
“Ulquiorra, no! Don’t go! Don’t go! Don’t go! Don’t go!” Terra repeated those two words over and over. It was too late though. Ulquiorra had died.

Several months have passed after that fateful day. Terra had returned home, but she was never the same woman. She isolated herself from others and refrained from leaving her room unless necessary. Her son, Sean, was confused about where his father was but also curious about his mother’s strange behavior. He had never seen his mother cry so much on the day when everyone was dressed in black. This day was different though. Terra screamed into the pillows of her bed, while punching the soft mattress. She couldn’t take the pain anymore. Once she calmed down, she got dressed and took her son to Monica’s home.
“Please, just take care of him. I can’t tell you why.” Terra said, staring at the floor.
“Terra, you’re acting strange. I’m worried about you.” Monica said, holding Sean in her arms. “Are you alright?”
Terra nodded but didn’t say anything. She stood up, patted Sean’s head then walked out of the house without another word.
“Terra…” Monica whispered, but turned her attention to Sean when he began to cry.

‘Cause I’m not leaving you anymore

Hold on to me, never let me go ♪
Terra drove home, trying to keep herself from crying. She was planning to end the suffering tonight. She couldn’t live without Ulquiorra. Terra knew what she was leaving behind, and she hated herself for it. But Sean would grow up to be a wonderful man, she knew that for sure. Terra got out of the car, not even bothering to lock it. She walked up the stairs to the one bedroom apartment and closed the door. Her heart was beating fast as she walked to the kitchen, opened a drawer, and pulled out a butcher knife. Terra held the knife against her neck, fresh tears falling down her face.
“I’m sorry…Ulquiorra.” She whispered, swiping the blade across her neck.
Terra fell to the floor, blood spewing from her neck. “F-forgive…me.” She said.
And with her last breath of life, she whispered, “I’m coming for you… my love.”
Seconds later, death claimed her body and she lay there lifeless.
