"Ismene? That's a funny name!" a dark haired girl replied. Jumping up and down. "my name's Kitty!" she replied her pail purple eyes flickered, she held out here hand for me to shake, I ignored it and dropped my box-o-stuff on the bed. (it was the day before school and I was already about to ripe this girls head off her shoulders) "I can tell we're going to be great friends!" she declared, tackling me in a giant hug.

"really? I can't," I replied, scraping her off of me. "in fact girls like you would never come near me!"

"hey! You're that senior's little sister , the one who beat the crap out of my brother last year… what's his name?" she interjected poking me in the chest.

"Grimmjow, yeah, he's my brother." I replied a little embarrassed, all I ever got all my life was: wow you look nothing like your brother, I guess you weren't lucky enough to get you mothers eyes like he was! "and I guess you're Luppi's sister…?" she nodded "Yeah the only time he eve called home was to tell me who's ass he kicked"

"Yeah! But I don't care what our bothers did , we're still gona be the best of friends!" she cheered hugging me and jumping up and down.

"get off me before I stab you in the appendixes!" I replied in a rather calm tone. She released me and stepped back, like I was some kind of hazards material!

I rolled my eye and turned my attention to my box-o-stuff I pulled out a small card board box that I found in the back of our closet when I got evicted last year , it had "PROPERTY OF GRIMMJOW, ISMENE YOU OPEN THIS AND YOU DIE!" as curious as I was I wasn't about to open that box, Grimmjow was usually serious about his threats.

I pulled out my cell phone , and scrolled threw the list of names, until I got to my brothers number. I pressed the green call button , then held it up to my ear.

"what do you want?" a harsh voice asked.

"oh, it soo nice to hear your voice agene too! Anyways… I found a box with your name on it when I was moving out!"

"and?" he asked

"what do you want me to do with it?" I replied getting frustrated with him.

"I don't know put it in storage or something!"

"what storage, the shelf above my bed? That thing is gona fall and crush me in my sleep!"

"fine! Bring it down to my room! Oh my God! Your so annoying!" he shouted I herd a click.

"hey! Kitty! Don't touch my stuff!" I yelled grabbing the box. Our rooms went far apart, just 3 doors down… ha-ha that's one of my favorite bands!

I walked down the hall quickly (I didn't know how long Kitty could go without digging threw my stuff) I tapped on the door. No response… I knocked harder. Still nothing. I banged on the door.

"would you hold on, freaking spas!" someone yelled., a pail black haired senior with green eyes opened the door. "what do you want, fish!" he asked.

I couldn't do anything but stair.

"well?" he replied.

"umm, can you give this to Grimmjow!" I replied, holding out the box.

"I take it you're his little sister?" he replied take the box from me.

"how'd you know?" I answered.

"well, it would be a little weird if you were his mom. Since you're younger than him, and your mom is died," he replied.

"hi, I'm Ismene! And thanks for reminding me!" I replied, "you must be… well we don't really talk much"

"Ulquiorra!" he replied.

"it's nice to meet you," I said in a feeble attempt to make conversation.

"nice to meet you too," he replied closing the door, "nice tattoo by the way!" the door slammed. I smiled I had a tattoo of a scissor tail right above my left hip, I also had angle wings tattooed on my back but I'll get back to that latter. I picked a good day to show a little midriff!

I was turning around to leave when WAM! I ran into something! I staggered back a few step and looked up. "watch where you're going fish!" a guy with spiky orange hair yelled.

"I'm sorry Kurosaki-sempie!" I replied bowing slightly. "please forgive me!"

I took off down the hall way. good god Kurosaki-sempie! you know how to kill a mood .

"eeekk!" Kitty squealed, "O-M-G! he is soo fucking gorgeous!"

"he's also a senior! And my brother! And I don't feel comfortable talking about him like this!" I replied. why the hell did we wined working the same shift? I asked my self, poring a cup off tea.

"do you think you could set us up?" she asked jumping on me, I stumbled the tea cup fell out of my hands and shattered on the floor. I took a angry breath in threw my nose.

"I'll see what I can do, if you stop jumping on me, and you clean this up!" I yelled a little too loudly because every one in the tea shop turned and looked at us. (including our boss) "sorry Urahada-sama!" I said waving.

Kitty quickly bent down and swept up the broken remains of the tea cup. I grabbed a napkin and a pen and wrote down her name, number, and room number on it. "Kitty!" she looked up and I pressed one of the corners of the napkin to her lips, so that I got her lipstick print. I grabbed a cup of coffee and handed them both to her "fix your lipstick then, give this to my brother and tell him it's on the house! If there's anything I know about my brother it's that… you'd be paying for that cup of coffee anyways," I replied.

"thanks! I owe you like a million!" she replied.

"if you stop jumping on me like you're a husky pup then you owe me nothing!" I replied.

"Izzy you have a customer at table 2!" random girl who works at the tea shop but doesn't have any other lines in the rest of the story said.

I walked over to table 2, "hello my name in Jenny, I'll be your sever this evening may I take your order?" I asked in that board teenager tone, not looking up from my note pad.

"Jenny? I thought your name was Ismene." my customer replied.

"well they never replace these things so wile I'm 'on call!' I'm Jenny!" I replied, looking up from my note pad, and recognizing the green eyes and raven hair "oh, hey you're my brothers room mate… oh I'm sorry I suck with names!" I inwardly kicked myself.

"that's fine my room mate's little sister!" he said smiling, I laughed sympathetically.

"Jenny! I'm not paying you to socialize!" my boss yelled. I turned around and waved.

"okay you've gott'a order something before I get fired!" I whispered. "we can do this entire name game when I'm not about to be canned!"

"Jazzmen tea!" he replied. I jotted it down and ran off before my boss had another chance to humiliate me. could you make a worse second imprison? I asked myself.

"Hey! Can I sit here?" I asked 2 kind' a scary girls during lunch.

"why?" The one with loooooooong curly dark hair and familiar dark green eyes asked, crossing her arms over her chest trying to look even scarier. Even though in reality she was probably one of the most naturally beautiful girls in the inter world!

"because I don't want thoughts little preppies sitting with me! And you guys are doing a good job of scaring them off!" I replied, referring to the group of cheer leaders, and Barbie dolls sitting in the middle of the cafeteria for every one to see talking about outfits and boys and what ever other gorse stuff "normal" girls talk about!

"good reason, sit Goth puppy!" the other girl with bright red hair and gold eyes said as I slid into the booth.

"I'm Ismene-"

"Ismene Jeagerjaques!" the girl with black hair replied. "you're the fishy that every one's been talking about! The one with talent on and off the stage! We should have dance class together!" I smiled shyly: I was an okay dancer but I was only at my best when , the music spoke to me and I listened to my heart not some dance instructor!

"I really hate that title!" I whispered.

"I'm Fai Abarai!" the girl with long deep, deep red hair said. Shaking my hand.

"Cinna Schiffer!" the girl with longer, curly black hair replied in a friendly tone. (yes apparently every one in this fan fiction is related to a bleach character!) "I'm Ulquiorra's twin sister! You know: 'you brother's room mate" (right that's his name!)

Right as she said that guess who happened to walk in with some red headed bimbo clinging to him like a titanic survivor to a life raft! You called it… I hope. Ulquiorra!

"what the hell is he doing with that whore?" Cinna yelled. Once agene every one turned and looked at our table. I averted my eyes. "ha ha… story in the literature, I'm really getting into it!" she laughed sitting back down . "if he come's over here with that girl: pretend like you like her!"

Just then I felt someone reach up my skirt. I jumped and tuned around in mid air " Nnoitra! You pervert!" I yelled . Smacking the freakishly tall teenager. I was wrong it was a something!

He staggered backward a few step laughing . "oh! sorry Izzy! I didn't know it was you! You've grown up!" I shoved him to the ground. Nnoitra Jiruga was a friend of my brothers, and notorious womanizer!

"don't you think it's time to stop hitting on freshmen , Jiruga?" Cinna asked, poking her chicken breast with a fork.

"and I recall a conversation you had with my brother that went a little something like: 'you touch my sister agene and I'll kick your ass!" I replied crossing my legs. "it would be a shame if he some how found out…" I put my finger on my lip and gave him the innocent angle look I had protected.

He took of leaving a trail of dust behind him. "how do you know Nnoitra?" Fai asked, brushing her long deep, deep red hair out of her face.

"he's a friend of my brothers!" I replied, making a star out of my mashed potatoes. "he lived down stairs from us around the time our parents died…" I replied.

"oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't knew you and Grimmjow were orphans!" Fai said sounding like she was felling sorry for me.

"don't be! it's not big deal anymore!" I replied, trying to get rid of the gloomy atmosphere I had just created.

"okay class someone feel like showing off?" the dance teacher asked, every one just looked around hopping that they went going to be first "Hay you! 'Supper freshmen!' show us why everyone's been talking about you!" she yelled. I looked up she was staring right at me! supper freshmen? I asked myself well I guess its better than tragedy girl!

"yes Mrs. Yoruichi!" I replied, as I finished liaising up my point shoes (okay, don't be mad at me! Yoruichi just reminds me of the dance coach at my friends school okay?). I got up from my spot in-between Cinna and Ulquiorra (whom I was suppressed yet for some reason happy to find in this class) walked to the front of the class. The teacher put on some insignificant classical music that no one's ever herd before, I closed my eyes, and took a deep berth don't think just feel! I told myself. I let go, listened , got lost in the music there was noting else in the world just me, my little space, and the music, it spoke to me moved me, my actions were completely involuntary, it was almost like it want me out there but the music itself on the dance floor, like it was speaking threw me! I felt alive, like I was with an old friend, I wanted to feel like this always!

The music stopped I opened my eyes and smiled. My class mates were stupefied, even the Mrs. Yoruichi seemed to be impressed. I was always amazed that something that came so naturally to me seemed to others as though I had worked for hours on end to move so fluently!

I curtsied and returned to my seat.

"where'd you learn to dance like that?" Cinna asked in amazement.

I shrugged "it's not really something I learn," I replied. "there's a slim chance I could teach you, but it doesn't work well with choreography- Oh my God my feet hurt!" I hastily pulled my shoes off., "Ah! I forgot to put padding in the shoes, agene!"

Cinna reached over and slapped Ulquiorra on the chest. "ask her!" she whispered.

"I don't understand why you want me to do this!" he whispered back.

"it'll improve your social skills!"

"okay can you stop whispering like I'm not right here, and get to the point?" I hissed, having a conversation in my lap wasn't that fun… neither was the slap fight that broke out shortly after, for that matter!

Eventually Cinna won, (witch I kind of expected) leaving Ulquiorra doubled over in his chair. "would you like to come hang out with us after school tonight?" he managed to wheeze.

"that depends: who's us, where at, and how dose it compare to watching 'The Latte Late Night Show Crag Ferguson' wile eating a bowl of chocolate ice-cream?" I replied.

"Ismene! Ulquiorra! Cinna! Is it life or death?" Mrs. Yoruichi asked.

"no ma'am!" Cinna replied.

"then Shut-up!" she yelled. Instinctively the three off us looked at our feet, acting like we where good students that had learned our lesson.

"talk about it after class?" I asked. Ulquiorra looked at me and smiled. My heart leapt! Oh, my God, you're falling in love with him! something in my head said I need to up my medication! I thought.

"hey Izzy! You're late!" Fai yelled, she was wearing a bright black shirt with a red exclamation point on ot an red mine shirt red stilettos. She was also standing in between 2 girls with black hair I assumed they were sisters because they looked a lot alike, but there styles were completely different, one was wearing a black beanie and a hoody over a Jack skeleton T-shirt wile one of them was wearing a baby blue sun dress. "this is Vive, she's a freshmen just like you!" Fai said pointing to the girl in all black "and this is Rukia, she's a Junior like me! There sisters " she pointed to the last one. "this is Izzy although I think she prefers Ismene!"

Vive looked up briefly from her cell phone "hey, locker neighbor" she said look immediately back to her phone clicking away at the numbered buttons.

Yep. I was defiantly not feeling the love!

"you look cute!" Cinna said, walking up from the senior dorms. She was wearing a black dress with black and white striped tights and black leather boots with a gold buttons. "of coarse you're adorable to begin with!"

I smiled inwardly. "what are you wearing?" someone yelled. I jumped and wheeled around: Grimmjow. I didn't think of myself as scantily dressed I was just wearing a tank top with skinny jeans and leather boots… I was leaving a lot to imagination!

"what are you doing here?" I asked. Brushing the hair out of my face.

"well apparently babysitting! And thanks for trying to set me up with your little freshmen friend, I really appreciate you interference in my social life!" he replied.

"you act like you're not going out with her!" I replied, "speaking of Kitty: you didn't invite her, did you?" a pulse of adrenalin went threw my veins.

"would you relax I'm only going out with her to piss Luppi off ! I wouldn't be caught with her outside of school grounds!" Grimmjow replied.

"this is the last time we invite him anywhere! That's low man!" Rukia replied. "I don't carer if she is a hooker, Grimmjow, you don't take advantage of a girls feelings like that!"

I glared at my brother. "seriously dude! Nel taught us that much!" I replied. (Nel was our foster mom)

"you're, sick!" Vive replied. "I mean she a nice girl! And she really likes you!"

"I take it you know Kitty!" I replied, brushing my black hair off my shoulders.

"I went to middle school with her, she's a sweet girl, just a little ditsy! She has a lot of problems at home. You know with the Guy brother and all" she replied.

"got to love those Catholics!" I replied. "I could ask for a better room mate but I could also do a hole lot worse!"

I turned and looked at Grimmjow narrowing my eyes "and so could you!"

He scowled and rolled his at me. "so what are we waiting for?" he asked.

"Ulquiorra, his bimbo girl friend, Szeil, Jackie, Jenny and Remey!" Fai replied.

"who's Szeil?" Cinna replied, crinkling her nose.

"you know, the guy with pink hair and glasses!" Fai said, "Jackie's older brother, Jenny's Cousin!"

"Fai his name is Szayel!" Cinna replied. "and he told me 5th period that he had too much homework and isn't coming!"

"maybe you should stay home and do your English 1 homework?" Grimmjow snapped. Cinna paid him no attention.

"look you can just leave if you don't want to come, or have you suddenly decided to take an interest in my personal life agene!" I replied angrily.

I was miserable watching Ulquiorra and that red headed girl falling all over each other.

"I knew I shouldn't have come!" I told myself , as I walked to the bath room.

"hey, baby!" some big burly dude missing his shirt yelled. I ignored him "he grabbed my arm. Hey! I'm talking to you! Bitch!" he yelled.

"well, I'll listen to you when you learn my name!" I yelled pulling away from him I was not in the mood for this. He grabbed me agene and pushed me agents the wall. "get away from me!" I yelled. He pulled me into a violent kiss, I crinkled my nose, I was going to be sick, she smelled like beer and cheep hookers! (don't even ask me how I know that).

I tried to brake away from him, but he overpowered me.

Suddenly something pried him off of me. I opened my eyes. "Ulquiorra?" I whispered .

"are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm going home!" I replied, walking away.

"I'll drive you!" Ulquiorra offered, fallowing me to the door.

"thanks but I'd rather walk!" I replied acidly, I was still mad at him after all. "why don't you go have fun with your girl friend"

"Ismene! This is a bad part off town! My sister is going to kill me if she finds out I let you walk back to campuses alone,!" he replied, taking my hand.

"then don't let her find out! My lips are sealed!" I hissed, pulling my hand away.

"are you mad at me or something?" he asked. To tell the truth I was shaken badly by what just took place. I actually thought it was going to happen agene.

"I just got caught off guard!" I replied, putting my hand on my head. "I just want to go home and sleep this off!

I can't afford to make any stupid mistake!"

"isn't that what being a teenager is for?" he asked, unlocking his car.

"it's not something I'm supposed to talk about!" I replied. "trust me! If I could tell you I would… may be I will around 10 years from now!" he opened the passenger side door.

I didn't move. "don't you have a girl friend to go make out with?" I asked, glaring at him.

"she used me to make her ex jealous, I'm completely un attacked!" he laughed. "don't make me force you!"

"please!" I replied walking away. "I could through you threw that window over there if I wanted to!"

I woke up a few minuets later in the passengers seat of Ulquiorra's car. "I told you not to make me force you!" he replied.

"this isn't my night is it?" I asked stretching "attempted rape, assault, abduction, what's next?"

"molestation?" Ulquiorra replied. I glared and zipped up my jacket.

"don't joke about that kind off thing!" I scolded.

"something happened to you when you were younger didn't it?" he replied.

I looked at my feet. "a lot of things happened to me! That's why I want to go into law enforcement, so what happened to me doesn't happen to anyone else!" I replied.

"you can't possibly think that you can-"

"would severely decrease the number of time's occurred work better for you? Why do you have a Jason Mraz CD?" I asked picking up a CD case that said "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things"

"hey, he's a great musician!" Ulquiorra replied. "what's wrong with that?"

"nothing, you just don't seem like that type of person," I said flipping the case over.

"what do you mean by 'that type'?" he asked.

"you don't seem like the kind of person who's into love, and winy divorce songs, I mean it's tragic, but both my parents died in a car crash and you don't hear me singing about it all the time!" I replied. As we pulled into the school parking lot.

"I guess you can't judge people," he said, pulling the parking break. "do you want me to walk you to your room?" he asked.

"no! that much I can do by myself!" I replied forcing myself out off the car.

That dream, that nightmare. I still have it some times. It haunts me reminds me why I can't make any stupid choices yet.

It was a memory. A memory that you try to push to the back of your mind and forget, but no mater how hard you try every time you close your eyes you see it as vividly as the day it happened.

"Antigone!" I called to my older sister "I found your story!" I yelled holding a book off Greek tragedies over my head. She sat up and smiled.

My sister was beautiful I regent never telling her that, she had our Mom's stunningly blue eyes and long curly silver hair.

"that's great Bella!" she laughed, putting me in a head lock.

She called me Bella as in the Italian word for beautiful, because I always felt like the ugly duckling around my siblings, the both inherited the better traits from our parents wile I was the gray-eyed , flat haired toddler that fallowed them around.

"what's it called?" she asked taking the book from me.

Even though now it's painfully clear , I didn't notice the worry in her voice.

"Antigone!" I replied turning the pages in the book.

"having fun with your little sister? That so cute!" someone yelled.

The man he was a blur like the rest off the dream, all I know is that the person who killed my sister calls him self "The King of Thebes" and that I will make him pay for what he has done!
