Footprints in the Sand [28/28]

[miss_soupy]

It was early spring when Orihime stepped foot into her apartment again. When she did, she found that she couldn’t speak. Instead, she stepped around her home touching things absentmindedly while trying to gauge her shockingly calm feelings. Eventually, she made it to her desk, where an open notebook lay. She noticed some writing scribbled in

too cute!! I loved it, and I followed all of the story, so i wasn't really sure what to expect, but i love this ending, great job for seeing it through and not ending it half way. =) oh, and i loved the whole contrast thing, and how it made them both more beautiful, too true

[miss_soupy]

Thank you! >3< Oh yes, I made sure to stay quite a bit ahead while writing this one. Really, all except the last chapter few chapters were written before I even started posting it. XD

I really love their contrast as well. Really, it was something I hadn't considered before. You can't fully appreciate light without experiencing true darkness. Orihime and Ulquiorra, while extremely different, mesh together in all the right ways ;)

What a lovely, fulfilling, satisfying ending! It is the fairy tale that Ulquihime is incarnate.

Beautiful work!

And I do hope you give us some side stories! I would love to read how you envision their time together prior to this glorious conclusion.

I'm glad you liked it!

I think writing Ulquiorra and Orihime together in the real world would be a lot of fun, so I hope I can come up with something. I also really want to write about Ulquiorra~<3

;3;

This brought me to tears. How I wish that Ulqui returns, even more now. It's not fair for anyone to gain a heart after searching for so long and losing it right after obtaining it. It's... it's... horrible. Even a person as horrible as Aizen wouldn't deserve this.

Siigh. If he stays dead... I'll stop reading Bleach. Not because of shipping reasons, I'm not that immature, but because his death would contradict everything that Kubo said all throughout of his manga. So redemption counts only for the good guys? As long as the hero knocks some sense into good guys, they'll return as allies, but for bad guys, it's only death they'll receive? Good riddance and goodbye. Hell~o there FMA. *wink*

Good god, Ichigo isn't as bad as Jesusruto when it comes to brainwashing baddies with fanfiction power, but still. What was even the point of giving him a heart in the first place then? Might as well Kubo killed him off without any tearjerking departing scenes a la Nnorita and be done with.

I believe Ulquiorra will be back =w= I agree, if Kubo didn't bring him back, it wouldn't make much sense with the way he is making the arrancar so pitiable. I think he showed them as much more complex than mere monsters on purpose.

Yup, Ulquiorra has to come back!

Thanks for reading ^^

Lovely! Makes me all depressed now when I seen the upcoming animated scenes of Ulqi vs Ichigo final battle. Really I can't live through that again. Your story is like a soothing balm, truely a beautiful and well written story! I'll agree bring on the side stories. I'll even pay you in Ulqi doodles! ^_^

[miss_soupy]

Yeah, Ulquiorra's death will be a hard thing to watch (but those leaked vids were so awesome, I can't NOT watch >.<) Hopefully by the time the anime returns to canon Ulquiorra will be back *_*

Here's to hoping!

Ulqui doodles?! I might take you up on that~ ;D

[miss_soupy]

I'm glad you enjoyed the ending *sniff* I can't believe it's over (then again, it took how many months??) LOL

I'm sure this won't be the last you see from me!

[miss_soupy]

Happy holidays to you too! ^^
