My history with Bleach is an off-again on-again one. I started out watching the anime -- the Soul Society arc -- and loved the Ichigo/Rukia interaction. After that arc had ended, there seemed to be an endless parade of filler anime episodes -- which quickly made me lose interest in the anime itself.

Fortunately I picked up the manga online, around chapters 190 or so (Conquistadores), just when the Arrancar were appearing on the scene. And even during their first introduction, when they're fighting -- but not one another -- there's some kind of tension between Orihime and Ulquiorra. Right away he seems fascinated with her, particularly with her powers. But I didn't really start to ship them until he came back for her, in 234, "Not Negotiation". The way he approaches her, the intensely blinding and almost creepy way he's sooo focused on her...I kind of knew from this point on, given his apparent possessiveness when she wasn't even in his grasp yet, that there would be something happening between them.

And now that I think about it, now that we've seen the last chapter (354) with Ulquiorra's discovery of a heart, and how he realizes it's born between the union of his and Orihime's hands, chapter 234 takes on new meaning, especially with this poem (thought to be Orihime's words/thoughts) in the beginning of it: http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/234/03/

"In the fifth, therein lies the heart." It could be a reference (especially with the picture of her hand touching a mirror) to five fingers of a hand -- grasping for another. Either way, it's an eerie coincidence given Kubo's scene between them in 353 and 354...and I feel like Kubo never includes these things accidentally.

Beyond shipping, I'm actually working on some UlquiHime porn as we speak. XD Of course given the recent manga chapter, it's gonna be during Orihime's confinement. But I'm hoping to get it done this week! :D

Thanks! Now I know where to start reading the manga! :D
I should be done just in time for porn!!!! XD

*nods*

Ulquiorra is definitely really paying attention to her, which always makes me shipper senses perk up.

And you're working on porn? Sweet! I can't wait to read it.

Thanks! :D It's gonna be porny but slightly lulzy as well...I think that's Orihime's influence. *snickers*

I can't imagine porn with Orihime NOT being slightly lulzy.
