Come on Lex! You need to concentrate at least for a little bit!"

"This is like serious torture you know. I do better if I just wing it."

I glared at my best friend with the most serious expression that I could make but finally just gave up and slammed my Advanced Placement U.S. History book down on the picnic table. I sighed and said "FINE! I give up no more studying. What do you want to do now?" Lex looked at me with that look and I knew what she was thinking.

"We should go…"

"Hunt some hollows…" I finished.

Lex laughed and stood up from the picnic table. She began scanning the park and the woods nearby. Lex and I are half soul reaper. My dad was the shinigami that was assigned to our town. He had a fling with my mom and I was the unfortunate result of said fling. I've never met my dad he left soon after I was born. I really love my mom. She's the one that told me about the spiritual world, I never really asked how she knew about it all I guess she heard it from dad. Lex's story is about the same as mine. We used to joke about how maybe we actually had the same dead beat dad and we would finally actually be half-sisters. We look nothing alike so that theory was quickly dismissed. I'm on the short side with shoulder length red hair. I have pale skin and freckles. Lex is the same height as me, but she is blessed with beautiful Hispanic skin, courtesy of her mother. She has long, black, wavy hair. One more difference is that she is defiantly more voluptuous than me. AKA: bigger boobs.

We were both gifted with some pretty cool stuff. We kind of by accident discovered that we were in fact Soul Reapers. We had zanpakutos, but couldn't release them or anything. With our strong spiritual pressure we attracted some hollows. Small ones, but still scary. We quickly learned how to defend ourselves. We both kept this aspect of our lives away from our mothers. We wouldn't want to give them a heart attack.

I could also, to my displeasure, see how any spirit or hollow died. Lex could see what ability a hollow possessed, as well as other soul reapers. This comes in handy when we find a hollow so we know whether or not we can take it, or if we should just run.

"SHIT! FUUUAHHHHH"

I quickly spun around in reaction to Lex's out burst.

"You stubbed your toe on the picnic table didn't you?"

"YES LENNIE YES I DID! AND IT HURT LIKE HELL!"

"Maybe you should put your shoes on…" I replied coolly.

Lex gave me her signature 'I'm gonna you if you say one more thing' look. She sat down and began to but on her black Converse tennis shoes. Suddenly I felt an odd spiritual pressure, but it wasn't a hollow or shinigami. "Lex…." "Yeah I feel it too."

We began to walk down the hiking path in the park to find the source of this odd feeling. We reached a small clearing and saw what we had been sensing. It looked like a tear in the world, just sitting there. Lex began to walk closer to it.

"I think it's a portal…what do you think?"

"I think you might be right, where so you think it goes?"

"It kinda feels like hollows, but not really? There's really only one way to find out you know"

"Yea true, but if it is hollows…"

"…can we make it back out?" Lex finished my thought. "I say we go, I think it'll be ok."

"Are you sure?" I grabbed my friend's wrist before she could take another step.

"Hells yes I'm sure Lennie, and even if its not I'm sure we'll be ok. We are Lex and Lennie! We kill hollows, we help wondering spirits, we make overly stuck up teachers giggle, you can talk your way out of anything, and I can make a damn good cake! There's nothing we can't do ya got it!"

"Well you do make a pretty good cake…ah what the hell lets go."

Lex always had a sort of sixth sense. If she had a bad feeling, something bad usually happened. After so many years I've learned to trust her instincts. They've saved our butts.

Lex and I stepped through the portal holding hands and our breaths, waiting to see what was on the other side.

Where ever we landed it was cold. Everything was white. White floors, white ceilings, white walls, white doors, white everything. I looked at Lex whose dark eyes were still scanning the area.

"I've got a bad feeling about this." Lex sighed.

"Stop sounding like Han Solo it's freaking me out! Where ever we are I think it's pretty obvious that we aren't supposed to be here!"

Footsteps from the other side of the large door made us both go pale (if I could possibly get any paler). The door began to slide open and I grabbed hold of Lex's arm.

"Seriously it's boring here Aizen! Can't we get like, I don't know, a pool or something?" The man who spoke was really creepy looking. He was really squinty and had light grayish hair. The man who he was speaking to had slicked back auburn-brown hair with a small strand that was out of place falling onto his forehead. They both stopped dead in their tracks when they spotted us.

"And who might you two be?" the squinty guy said.

I was the one who stepped forward hopefully I could babble my way out of this mess.

"Well I'm Lennie and this is Lex. Well I'm really Caralynne…Lennie and this is Alexandra…Alex…Lex…umm do you mind, we uh seemed to have made a wrong turn.

"Wrong turn from where?" Aizen asked eyeing us suspiciously.

"Um… the woods in the park on the path thingy." Lex answered. I was glad that she caught on to my 'let's just play dumb act'.

"They seemed to be just humans don't they Gin?" Aizen said.

"Well it's obvious that someone left the portal open and you know as well as I that they aren't just humans, though they really might not know where they are. There is something a little off about them."

"All I can do is see what hollows and soul reapers are capable of!" Lex blurted out. I wasn't sure whether it was a good thing that she said that or a bad thing. Lex's mouth tended to get her into trouble.

"Well that's obviously useful (I'm guessing that's a good thing?) and what about you?" Aizen turned to me.

I swallowed down the urge to scream or bite back at him with some snide comment as I would have normally done in this situation for one reason. Both of these guys were scaring the living shit out of me.

"I can see how people died." I managed to get the words out.

"I think that we can use these two little girls don't you Gin? Round up Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, and Szayal to escort these girls to their new home and to find out who left the portal open." He then turned to us. "I hope that you to will find your new home in Hueco Mundo quite comfortable as you will be here for some time." Gin used shunpo to speed away to where ever he was going.

Aizen waited patiently as we heard four sets of footsteps rounding the white hallway to our left. My heart pounded in my chest. What the hell were we going to do? Could we get out of here? What did the Aizen need us for? I didn't even want to see how terrible the next three were going to be. Before my paranoid thoughts could continue Lex held my shoulder and leaned in to whisper something into my ear.

"Hueco Mundo means Hollow World in Spanish Lennie." Things just got worse.
