"Come on Yuki, let me see." Matsumoto moaned softly.

Yuki shifted, the dress hugging her body, trying to get comfortable. She had always preferred the loose 'no one needs to see my body' type outfits. This dress, on the other hand was showing off every curve she had tried to hide over the years.

Yuki stepped out from behind the screen door, still focused on the form-fitting dress. She only looked up when she heard a gasp.

Matsumoto's jaw lay on the ground as she gaped at the now-blushing girl before her.

"Wow Yuki. You have an amazing figure on you."

Yuki frowned at the blond before her as she wished Matsumoto would take it as seriously as it actually was.

"No joke Yuki," Matsumoto said when she saw the snow-haired girl's face. "I'm being serious. Taicho's going to love it."

Yuki smiled sheepishly down at her feet, wiggling her toes slowly.

Matsumoto grinned at the girl before her. She was so adorable. Rangiku just knew taicho was going to LOVE it.

The blond grabbed Yuki and dragged her over to the mirror, intent on doing her make-up and finding her matching accessories. She seated the girl and started going through the things her friends had given her, looking for things that would match the dress.

Rangiku pulled out light blue earrings, a silver arm band and silver flat shoes. They would go perfectly with both Yuki and her dress.

She set them aside and started unpacking all the different colors of eye shadow, lipstick, blush and kohl.

Out of the corner of her eye Rangiku saw Yuki's eyes widened at all the items but she brushed it off. Rangiku pulled the shoes and the arm band closer, checking each item alongside them and the dress. She packed a few items back into the bag and finally settled on silver eye shadow, light lipstick, a soft pink blush and black kohl.

Perfect.

Yuki carefully unzipped the dress and stepped into it. She zipped it back up and took a seat by her table. She turned to the mirror and started rummaging around in her bag. She pulled the kohl out and leaned in. She drew neat lines with the eyeliner around her eyes before she leaned back to study her work.

Awesome. Kohl-rimmed grey eyes blinked back at her from the mirror.

She picked up her brush and started on her long white hair. She pulled the top part up into a ponytail and tied it with a black ribbon before she grinned at herself.

She was good to go.

Yuki stepped out of her house, sliding her door closed. Her shoes made soft padding noises as she walked to the edge of her property. With a flicker and a puff of air she was gone.

She flitted from roof to roof and landed on one of the roofs on the edge of the light coming from the party. Her eyes automatically went to the entrance, where Toshiro stood. He wore black slacks and a light blue dress shirt. He was rocking softly on the balls of his feet and glancing around. He spotted her and smiled up at her.

He looks Yummy. Yuki thought before she giggled. She took a step forward, preparing to Shunpo when a clammy rag was suddenly pressed to her mouth. She tried screaming but felt herself being figuratively pulled down and literally pulled back. Her hand sluggishly stretched out, futilely trying to grasp at the light.

So . . . close . . . she thought before she succumbed to the drug.

Toshiro rocked softly on the balls of his feet, flicking his eyes from side to side. A flicker of blue from the corner of his eyes had him turn and spot Yuki. She wore a blue dress with her white hair half pinned up. She was looking at him, smiling softly. The shadows behind her shifted and a dark shape appeared. She leaned forward, probably preparing to jump off the roof when the shadow wrapped arms around her, one covering her mouth, one holding her middle. She started thrashing, but it was too sluggish to be natural.

Toshiro's eyes widened and he started running in her direction when a flash of brown stopped him. Momo stood before him, smiling widely. Toshiro tried going around her but she kept blocking him. He snarled under his breath and pushed her out of the way, not caring when she hit the ground. He flash stepped to the roof and tried futilely to grasp the last bits of her reiatsu.

But it was too late.

They both were gone.

I am so sorry about the time.

The plot, it just up and walked away.

But luckily I tracked it down, making it possible to continue the story.

I'll try to be better, I promise.

But don't be expecting me to continue MMIAN. I want to finish LATS first. But when it's done I'll continue.

Peace.

Out.
