Trifling Matters...

Previous Post: New Watcher

Silence.
Unbroken, unending silence.
The kind that swallowed the unwitting whole.
The kind that belonged only to me.
It brought me solace when I could not produce it for myself.
It never asked for anything.

In fact, it never asked at all...

It did what I wanted and never questioned me.
It did not cry or whine when I paid it no attention.
It did not trouble me when I was not present.
It did not demand an answer of my whereabouts.
It did not spread further than I wanted it.

But.

It gave nothing in return.

The silence was a selfish thing to be used and manipulated.
Abused and mistreated.
Hungry, but never sated.
Used, but never acknowledged.
Crushed, but never appreciated...

And then there were those who demanded noise from me.
Who cried from self pity.
Who stained my sanity with their words.
Who petitioned me to listen to their problems.
Who dragged me down to their level.
Who went by names.
Faces.

As if I cared.
I did not.
I could not.
I will not.

Here in Los Noches, there was nothing but madness.
Madness that went by names. Numbers. Pronouns.
I wanted no part in it.
However the silence could not dictate whom I was supposed to listen to.
My orders have been set.
My limits defined.

Nothing will change.
The woman will fall under my jurisdiction.
Her motives become mine.
Her emotions be burned away.
Her reasoning turn to dust.
Her hope destroyed.

I will see to that myself.

*walks up to Orihime's door and pushes it open* Do not fuss or whine. I am in charge of you as of today.

The first part was supposed to be in Ulqui's head and it was written all choppy--- I know! I know! It's just that I'm too lazy to write more.--- but hopefully it got the point across that he's in charge of Orihime now.
