Chaputa: Ne Jyu

"I don't want to go see Urahara. I don't mind Yoruichi but Urahara gives me to the creeps. He reminds me of a stalker." Annabell whined as she followed Orihime and Rukia to the shop that the older man set up with help from the ex captain. She just wanted to sit in her room, not come out or else she might get jumped by Grimmjow. "Actually, Grimmjow's the creeper."

Rukia rolled her eyes and turned down an alley where the shop was located at. "Inoue do you have a date yet?"

"No. Not yet." Orihime said and set her finger to her chin, tapping it every so often.

"You have company." A boy's voice ran in the air, making Annabell look around her two friends to see Jinta disappearing behind a door. She just hoped that he wouldn't get annoying.

"Ah. Welcome Inoue-chan, Rukia." Urahara's voice held fake happiness almost. As he opened the door, he stared at the lines that were set on the unknown teen's face. He knew that they were asking for trouble from what Unohana said at a meeting.

"This is Annabell Hall. We're here to look at the dresses if you still haven't sold them yet." Rukia said as she walked over to the ex-shinigami that held a fan to his face.

"Of course not. I wouldn't let Kisuke do something like that." Yoruichi pipped in as she walked out to see who the man was talking to. She smiled at the three teens and opened the door a little wider. "Welcome."

Annabell felt like everyone was staring at her face because of the marks that she didn't seem to understand why she had them. Sighing, she kicked off her shoes and walked into the shop that was owned by the ex-captains. Looking around, it looked the same like his first shop. "Can we get this over with? I have to do a report on Monarchies."

"Kyôraku-san class?" Yoruichi questioned as she walked out of the room to retrieve the dresses that they saved for the three. As the marks flashed in her mind, her smile fell from her face as she shook her head. Something about them made her wonder what was really going on with that teen. She was supposed to be a regular human without any spiritual pressure but she had spiritual pressure now. That spiritual pressure had that sense of evil to it and it reminded her of Aizen's.

"So how are you Annabell? Can I call you Annabell or is it Hall?" Urahara asked with a smile before hiding it behind his fan.

She glared at the pale blond haired man that seemed to wear his hat all the time. Shaking her head, she rolled her eyes and kept quiet. She had to answer the questions but this guy freaked her out like every other person at the school because they were supposed to be fictional people. Sighing, she met his gaze and forced a smile onto her face, "I'm fine Kisuke."

"What happened to formalities?"

"Well over here we don't do surnames first then first names. It's the opposite." Annabell said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. She let the smile fall and stare at the man that tried to take Kon back and everything else that seemed impossible. "Annabell's fine."

He nodded just as Yoruichi came walking in. He saw the hint of worry in her catlike eyes. He'll ask her about it later when the three guests left. Sighing, he got up and walked over to the dresses. Pulling out the first one which was a royal blue with it being strapless, he looked at the girls. "Orihime this is yours. I hope you enjoy it because Yoruichi-san was the one that picked it out for you."

The long-haired teen smiled and got up. Taking hold of the dress that was for her, she held it up and smiled at her friends. It looked amazing to her. Looking back at the two, she nodded her thanks. "What do you guys think?"

"How about you try it on?" Yoruichi suggested and watched the well-endowed teen rush off to the bathroom to change. Looking back at the two, she pulled out a dark purple that looked black dress out. It had one strap on the left shoulder and smiled. "Kuchiki-chan this is for you."

Something about the dress fit about her. Annabell knew that. It was almost bringing out their eyes or something to make them look a little bit more attractive. She smiled at Rukia as she held it up to her before rushing off. That also meant the last dress was for her. Looking at the two ex-captains, she sighed and got up. "This must be mine then."

The two nodded and pulled the crimson dress off the hanger. It tied around the person's neck and it did bring out her eyes. Handing it to the teen that looked like she didn't want to be there, they watched her disappear down the hall like the other two.

"Something's up with those marks." Yoruichi said as she kept her gaze on the hall in case she see the teen she was talking about. She didn't want her knowing anything that doesn't really concern her. Closing her eyes and leaning against the wall, she heard the clap of the fan.

"Yeah. Yamamoto-san did say that she's got Aizen's interest. We have to keep a little eye on her somehow. I guess Kurosaki has another job to do besides hollow control." Urahara said as he saw a door open then another. Watching Orihime and Rukia come walking into the room, he smiled a little. "You two look amazing."

"Thanks for the flattery Urahara-san." Rukia replied and looked down the hall just in time to see their roommate come walking out of a room. Smiling, she met her halfway and held her arms out. "You look amazing! It fits perfectly. It even matches your eyes."

Nodding her thanks, she looked at the other three then saw Tessai poke his head to see what the commotion was about. She wasn't sure if she should smile about it. Running a hand through her brunette hair, she looked at the dress she had on. It didn't feel right to her. A lot of things didn't feel right. One of those being her eye and the marks that seemed to be spreading almost daily it seemed like. "Thanks."

"Can you put them on my credit Urahara?" Kuchiki inquired as she looked at the older man.

He nodded as Annabell gapped a little at the question. "Have fun at the dance this weekend. That's all is asked of."

Annabell forced herself to nod as she went to change back into her regular clothes. As she did that, she swore her mind turned to that day when she saw her inner world. It looked beautiful. It was open like a prairie. There were grasses and wild flowers everywhere. She couldn't even tell where it ended. It made her smile as she slipped on her shorts.

Then her thoughts turned to the person that was in her inner world. The person that looked like her except for the eyes that were so different. She also remembered the marks that were so similar as hers. They just extended all over her face like a Hollow markings. It made her wonder what was going on to get her mind to focus on that moment. She shouldn't have a hollow in her because she knew that she didn't have that high enough spiritual pressure.

"This is getting complicated."

Slipping on her tank top, she stood there in the room. Even now she couldn't figure out what the person wanted to say because Byakuya interrupted her thoughts when she was talking to the person. Sighing, she walked out of the room with the dress and bowed. "Thank you Yoruichi-chan and Urahara-kun."

"It's no problem."

With that they left the shop. It still bothered the dirty crimson eyed teen with what was going on in her body. She shouldn't be able to see ghosts and have these markings on her face. Sighing, she looked at the sky. It just made her wonder what else she was going to find out in the future.

So how was it?
