I've decided to go back through and do some rewriting to this. It is very obvious that I wrote this when I was a mere high school student, so time for an upgrade and then back to the sequel!

The footsteps began to approach. I felt like I was going to throw up. Four men came around the corner. The first was Gin. "These must me the men he went to get." I thought silently to myself. The others all wore the same clothing white uniforms trimmed in black with a black tie at their waist that held their zonpakutos. One had short spiking blue hair with blue eyes. He wore his shirt open which revealed a pretty nice body in my opinion and a hole through his abdomen. He also had what I thought looked like a piece of hollow mask on one side of his jaw. The second had shaggy black hair and brilliant green eyes that had green tear streaks coming out from under those spectacular things. He was very pale, paler than me even! He had a similar bone thing on his had that looked like half of a helmet. The third had cotton candy pink hair and rust colored eyes. He wore glasses that looked like the same material that the others had on their faces.

"Now who in the world left the portal open?" Aizen asked.

I looked over at Lex who was making her eye smex face at the guy with the black hair. Luckily I was probably the only one who could tell that seeing as she is very strategic and never makes it obvious.

"I believe it was Yammy. He is always doing stuff like that." The green eyed guy said.

"Yea ya'll know he's a dumb ass!" Stated the blue haired one.

"Yes, yes, you are probably right now I want you three to take these two down to one of the spare rooms. They come through the portal that Yammy left open but I believe that they may be of some use to us. Szayel I want you to do some physical exams later. Ulquiorra on the way I want you to pick them up some appropriate clothing. That is all." Aizen turned on his heels, followed by Gin and they both went down the hall.

The blue haired guy stood with one hand on his hip and the other scratching his back of his neck. He just stood there and started at us, as did the rest of them.

"…Umm…I'm Lennie and this is Lex." If no one was going to anything more than just stand there I was going to break the awkward silence, I'm pretty good at that.

"Uh, I'm Grimmjow this is Szayel and Ulquiorra." The blue haired guy said.

"You will need to follow us." Ulquiorra said in a very monotone voice. His green eyes scanned us over.

We began to walk to down the white hallway. Mine and Lex's converses were making a lot of noise. This place echoed really badly. Ulquiorra was out in front. "Geez he walks fast." I thought to myself. I glanced next to me but Lex wasn't there. She was trying to catch up with Ulquiorra but, without having to run and making it seem obvious. I decided I was going to give her a few more minutes before she would give up. I was walking along thinking to myself when a question popped into my head, but instead of keeping it there it decided to come out of my big stupid mouth.

"So, what exactly are you guys?"

Everyone stopped, turned around, and looked at me. I could feel the heat going up my neck and onto my face. That's another bad thing about being pale. Anytime I got the slightest bit embarrassed everyone knew it.

"We are arrancar." Szayel answered cooly.

"And that is…?"

"Hollows that want to gain more power and become more like shinigami so we tear off our masks, or some of it at least. We are a part of the Espada, which is the top ten arrancars. Ulquiorra is fourth, Grimmjow is sixth, and I am eighth." Szayel continued to explain.

"Well I guess that makes sense."

Everyone continued to walk. Lex used this to already be beside Ulquiorra. I laughed on the inside. We came to a white door and we all stopped. The door was smaller than the one earlier and some that we had passed along the way. Ulquiorra opened the door and we all went inside. It was like a giant closet. It would have been much cooler only everything was white. Were they really expecting us to wear all white. I'm going to look like a ghost. The women's clothes were on the right. We began to sift through the hangers trying to find something that would fit us. When we were done we both went into a small little nook with a curtain on it to try on our new attire. Thank God I was wearing white undies, well they were Hello Kitty but whatever. I glanced over a Lex who was wearing bright purple panties with little brown domos on them. I began to snicker.

"Shut up who knew everyone here's favorite color is white!"

We both were about the zip up our tops mine a three quarter length sleeve, and Lex's long sleeve.

"This isn't going to work."

I looked up to see the problem. I tried to contain my laughter. There was no way in hell that Lex was going to get that top to zip up over her big boobs.

"Just switch me this is a little big."

This was better the sleeves were a little long for me but it worked and Lex could successfully zip up her top. We both had picked white pleated skirts. Mine was a little big but once I rolled the waist line a few times and tied the sash around it, it was fine. We came out of the little nook, our shoes squeaking one the tile floor.

"You need to change shoes as well." Ulquiorra said as a matter of fact.

"No way in hell." We both said in unison. Our expressions were blank but we were extremely serious. You DO NOT mess with our shoes. Converses, or any other sneakers for that matter to time to break in. You want them to wear out. You almost get a sense of accomplishment when they begin to fall apart. Mine were on the edge of needing duct tape. The three men looked extremely surprised but Szayel was the first to speak.

"Why don't you hold onto your shoes but only wear them in your room. You must wear the black boots everywhere else though. It's essentially a uniform that those loyal to Lord Aizen wear."

We nodded in compliance. Szayel patted my shoulder lightly. Darkness filled my head, red splattered everywhere, and screams filled my head until I realized that I was the one screaming.

"What the fuck is wrong with her!" Grimmjow barked.

Szayel looked extremely shocked and Ulquiorra stood there with a blank expression. Lex knelt down beside me. She had a very concerned look on her face but I could tell that she had a pretty good idea of what had happened. I had seen how he had died. I could always catch a glimpse of how a spirit dies but it was never that vivid. This was like I was standing beside him watching the whole thing happen. I felt tears run down my face. Lex knew that I wasn't much of a crier and grabbed my hand. I saw it all. It was in a lab. Szayel was blonde then. He seemed to be taking notes on something; I guessed that he was a lab assistant. Suddenly someone bursts through the door wearing a white lab coat. He is laughing hysterically. I couldn't tell if the man was drunk or just plan mad. I could feel Szayel's fear as he began to try and back out of the room. Suddenly the man lurched for a bucket and threw it with great strength at the defenseless Szayel. Whatever chemical that had been inside the container began to burn at his skin and caused a reaction turning his hair pink. He screamed in pain. The man took advantage of this and grabbed a scalpel and walked toward Szayel. He began to hack and slice away at his body.

I felt like I was going to throw up. I tried to shake away the vision and focus on what was going on right in front of me.

"All I did was touch her shoulder." Szayel said.

"NO! It-it w-wasn't that, I just…"

"She saw how you died." Lex said the words that I couldn't seem to find. "She usually just gets glimpses of things like car wreck, shot, was sick, but when you touched her I guess it was more…vivid?"

I nodded my head agreeing to what she said. They stood there staring at Szayel, who still looked shocked, Grimmjow had his mouth hanging wide open, Ulquiorra looked… intrigued would be the best word. Lex helped me to my feet. I couldn't look at any of them I just turned and grabbed the first pair of six and a half boots that I was saw slipped off my grey converses with purple shoes laces and put on the ankle boots. I stood there shoes in hand, staring at my feet. I heard Lex grab a pair of boots as well. Hers came up to her knees. I headed toward to door just wanting to get out of that room and focus on something else. Ulquiorra was in front beside him was Lex, followed by me, then Szayel and Grimmjow. I could feel Szayel's eyes burning a hole in the back of my head. I heard Grimmjow whisper quietly to him.

"What the fuck was that man?"

Szayel remained silent which I was thankful that he did because I knew that if he spoke again the tears would begin to flow down my already red and puffy face. I didn't want to cry anymore. I wanted to get to wherever room we were going to and just lay down and let the dark emptiness of sleep wrap around me.
