The crinkle of diamonds filled the air in the dark room. The beautiful jewels strung on a silver thread and handled with care. The owner of the silky ivory hands that handled them pulled them carefully across a smooth neck. The hooks latched together and the jewels trickled down like drops of rain. Silky black hair covered the back of the necklace and flowed down the back of the lonely figure. With one last look, she was ready to begin the day. This ivory goddess.

"Ma'am. The boss is waiting for you." a dark tone filled the room.

"Yes Brick. Ill be there in a second."

This goddess was a sultry woman known as Keiko Schiffer. The sister of one of the most feared and respected mob bosses in Europe.

Europe was divided into 4 territories ruled by the 4 famed mob bosses. The whole system was based on money, power, and respect. Everyone stayed in their respectful territory. Rebels ended up dead. It was a cruel form of modern dictation, but it was the only way the whole continent was to be governed without the possibility of 'falling'. Keiko's brother, Ulquiorra Schiffer, was one of these four bosses. He governed the far west side of Europe which included Spain, France, the United Kingdom, and others connected. The Schiffer clan was known to be strong, stern, and heartless but just. The last two remaining heirs now governed part of Europe with an iron fist.

Keiko was her brother's right hand man . All business regarding her brothers territory was conversed with her. The only things she never was allowed to hear was the meetings with the other mob bosses. Never in her life has she talked with or even seen them. She only knew their names. Grimmjow Jaegerjaques from the middle western side, Nnoitra Gilga from the middle eastern side, and Sosuke Aizen from the far eastern side. She always wanted to meet one of them, but her brother forbade her from engaging in meetings with them. That is, for now at least.

"Ma'am please. T-The boss is getting impatient. He needs to see you right away."

"Im sorry Brick. I was just lost in thought."

She walked out of the dark room that belonged to herself passed the tapestry filled hallway that served as the heart of the Schiffer manor, their home. The manor was beyond any mansion anyone has ever seen. Not only was is large, it was fancy. Filled with the most exquisite art and decor money could buy. It was a bit gloomy however. It couldnt distract the prestigious family from their work. Soon, a large brown wooden door was the only thing separating her from the most important man on this side of the country.

One of the bodyguards opened the door and Keiko walked in with a small smirk on her face. She could see the back of her brother's giant leather lounge chair. It was hard to tell what he was doing but if one had to guess, he was drinking his tea while sitting by the large fireplace burning on the side of the room with the sweet violins from the classical music playing in the distance. Keiko walked up slowly to the side of the chair and looked down at her brother who, in fact, was drinking his tea. He set it down as she reached for his face with scarlet stained nails and pulled his face toward hers. She gave him a light kiss on the corner of his mouth in respect and affection, not wanting to get deep violet lipstick on his pale skin. He looked directly at her, his cold emerald green eyes meeting her ruby red ones.

"You look beautiful." he said without a change in facial features.
"Thank you brother dear."

She smiled and brushed the bangs away from his face, another form of respectful affection. "You wanted to see me?"

Ulquiorra closed his eyes and appeared deep in thought. Keiko stepped away from him as she sat in the leather chair directly across from him. This is how they usually saw each other everyday. They would converse in the meeting room about business or family matters. Tea and small pastries would be provided for them in case they got hungry. It was early afternoon at the time.

"I wanted to inform you that the Boss from the Middlewestern side will be meeting with me tommorow afternoon."

Keiko sighed. She hated when her brother informed her about another Boss coming to visit. She already knew she wouldnt be able to join in on the meeting so why would he tell her.

"I understand. Ill stay away."

"Actually." he looked up. "This time will be different. I actually want you to accompany me."

Ruby eyes grew and looked up at the pale figure.

"W-What?"

"Yes. I want you to accompany me to this meeting. Is that understood?"

Keiko couldnt believe what she was hearing. After 3 years of not being able to engage in the Boss meetings, she was finally able to be able to attend one. Every bit of her wanted to jump and scream in excitement, but she needed to be calm and not show those weak signs. She just nodded and lightly smiled.

"Yes dear brother."

She got up and kissed the corner of his mouth again showing her gratitude and gave a small bow to take her leave. Ulquiorra took and kissed her hand showing his affection as well. Keiko starting walking back to the door where her bodyguard, Brick was waiting.

"Oh and another thing."

Keiko stopped in her tracks. "I know this may sound terrible, but wear something...'wild' tomorrow."

She turned around and a thin black brow rose.

"Wild?" she questioned.

Ulquiorra sighed and got up. He looked a bit agitated at her response but at the same time it couldnt be helped.

"I mean something low-cut and tight." Keiko's eyes widened and a rose-colored blush swept across her face as the pale boss walked up to her. "Dont think too hard about it." he said. "The middle western boss loves women and having you around the meeting tomorrow will relieve the tension between us. I dont particularly care for that man."

The ivory goddess sighed in relief and chuckled. She didnt say anything but rather nodded and took her brother's face in her delicate hands. He shook his head as her face inched closer to his. "And you need to stop with all this affection."

Keiko let go of her brother's face and giggled.

"Maybe if you let me have a good man then I wont need to give you so much."

The pale boss sighed and took his sister's hands.

"There is no man in this world good enough for you."

"Except you." she smiled.

He chuckled. Slightly amused.

"You may take your leave now."

"Thank you. Dear brother."

She bowed once more and walked out the door Brick had opened for her. Mixed feelings rushed into her head all at once. Excitement. Fear. Nervousness. Awkwardness. She would be able to meet the middle western boss tommorow.

"Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez." she said to herself.

The last name didnt surprise her. The man was German. It was only obvious that he rule over Germany. An imaginative picture flashed through her mind of what the man could possibly look like. Tall? Short? Thick? Skinny? She thought of many weird and amusing images and giggled at the thought, but she suddenly remembered that she would have to wear something slightly skimpy. That's when the fear came in. 'What if he's some chubby old pervert?' she thought. She thought of asking her brother what he looked like, but she didnt want to seem totally interested or he would get upset.

The dim lights and the smell of roses welcomed Keiko again as she walked to her room. She was there most of the time anyway since there was nothing else for her to do today. The most she could do was watch tv, talk to her maid Harribel, or sleep. She decided some company would calm her down.

"Belle..."

"Yes ma'am." a head peeked out from the door.

Harribel was a slim, medium tonned woman with beautiful long blonde hair and sea green eyes. She was a stern woman and only smiled when in her mistress' presence mostly because she had a hand in raising the young heiress.

"Im bored and I need some help for tommorow."

The blond maid rose a brow in confusion. "The Boss from the middle west is coming by tommorow and big brother needs me to wear something...wild." Keiko said gulping.

"I think I have just the thing. A new dress came in from Paris and I think its what your brother wants you to wear tommorow."

Harribel walked into her mistress' closet. It was more like a large room in a house, not really a closet, but it held all of Keiko's clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. She picked up a large box and walked to the victorian table in the middle of the room.

Keiko opened the box and took out the dress.

"Its perfect!"
