A/N: well here is chapter two. It would be nice if I got more reviews. It makes me want to update wayyy sooner. I might start making the chapters longer...if you noticed it kinda takes me a while to get my point across.

The Trio

She was dragged in battered and bruised. Her aqua hair covered in blood as a large scar ran down from the top of her head to the right side of her nose. Hazel glazed behind half lidded eye lids. Crimson birth mark horizontally across her face as blood covered it. Her green dress had been torn to rags. There were cuts all over her arms and legs. Numbness engulfed her whole body as everything was being sucked into darkness. Her mind was clouded barely registering the voices that surround her.

"Stupid wench, how dare she try to fight back!" One of the two guys proclaimed. Both holding her arms dragging her around inside a huge building.

"Heh… I see why the keeper wanted her so badly." Guy number two said as his eyes raked the woman's body. "Maybe once she all cleaned up I could have some fun with her."

"Whatever. She don't look that damn good. I would rather have that green eyed whore named Umi or that pink haired one named Seizu."

"What you're a fag now? There is no sexual gratification fucking men."

"Have you ever tried? They look better than any woman I have ever seen. Not only that, but the green eyed one is a bit feisty… well used to be anyways. Doesn't matter what the hell you do to him now. He simply doesn't react… period. As if he can't feel a damn thing. The fucker won't even moan."

"Ugh! Just shut the fuck up. I don't want to hear about your fag fantasies. I knew I shoulda called in sick today…"

"HA! Admit it, you're a closet perv. You want a taste of them just like the rest."

"Sorry no can do. I don't ride that side of the boat. Now shut the hell up and help me throw this woman into one of the rooms."

"Yea, yea…"

The two men came to a halt in front of a door. Once it was opened the girl was roughly thrown to the floor. To both men surprises, the two prostitutes that they mentioned earlier where in the room.

"Well what a lovely surprise." Stated the first guy. "If it isn't good ole Umi and Seizu. How about you two freaks of nature clean this wench up and show her the ropes. Depending on my mood I might just come back for the both of you."

Seizu narrowed his eyes slightly while Umi stayed perfectly stoic.

"Stop trying to flirt and lets go! The keeper is gonna have our asses if we don't deliver the packages." Said the second guy as he grabbed his partner pulling him from the room, and out the door and slamming it in the process.

It has been a year since Nel was first brought to this place. There were many others who were dragged in just like her. Some just couldn't afford to live normally and found this to be the only way to survive.

She missed her brother Grimmjow and boyfriend Nnoitra terribly. She wanted to give up and never think about the pain ever again… but, if she were to do that then neither Grimmjow nor Nnoitra would look at her the same way ever again. The first night she was brought to the night house she was left in the care of two strangers. Those two strangers were the only ones that really took care of her after she was dragged in. She also found out their names.

Szayel Apporo Granz. He had pink hair and amber eyes. He often smirks to himself when he's alone or simply thinking to himself. When he doesn't have a client he wears white rimmed glasses. At the night house he is called Seizu. He had cleaned all her cuts and gave her some aspirins. He also hand stitched the giant cut on her head. One thing Nel noticed about Szayel was that he had a mad glint in his eyes. Kinda re-minded her of a mad scientist.

Ulquiorra Schiffer was the other. He is known as Umi. Black hair and deep green eyes. He is extremely pale, almost to the point where he looks a bit gray under certain lights. Ulquiorra literally looks like a porcelain doll. He doesn't make any sudden movements or really moves around for that matter, he would sit down and stay that way as stiff as a rock. He rarely speaks unless spoken to but even then he doesn't always reply back. It surprised Nel when she heard his voice. Despite his features he has a fairly deep voice. He never changes his facial expression. It's like he has a permanent frown.

In the night house those two are her supports. They take the blame for any of her mistakes. Once she tried to run away from the night house and got caught. Szayel and Ulquiorra took complete blame for it. Their punishment was brutal. Their once scar free bodies were now covered with many scars. All to keep Nel safe. They didn't want her to go through what they went through. It was bad enough she was made into a prostitute like them. Her name was also changed. In the night house she is known as Nadeshiko.

Tonight was a very busy night. They were bound to have an unruly amount of clients. Szayel, Ulquiorra , and Nel were in the showers washing off all the filth that dare come in contact with their bodies. A few minutes later they were all in a hot tub to ease their sore muscles. It didn't bother Nel one bit that she was in a tub naked with two guys. She personally knew that wouldn't do anything to her. It wasn't like they had a choice anyways.

"Um… Szayel?"

"What is it Nel?"

"I've been wondering this for a while but… you and Ulquiorra have really long hair. Do you not cut it?"

"It's not that we don't want to cut it, we're not allowed to cut it."

Szayel's hair reached midways from his elbows and his shoulders. Ulquiorra's was just as long as Nel's reaching his waist.

"You don't mind me asking do you?"

"Of course not. You see… to make us look more feminine we are forbidden to cut our hair."

"Oh…"

"Don't worry about it. I don't mind my hair being this long."

"…"

"Are you feeling unwell Nel?"

'I want to go home.'

"I… want to go home. In this place, I feel so helpless. I miss my family, my friends, and my home."

Szayel frowned. They all want to go home back to their families. Him and Ulquiorra have been at the night house for so long. Neither can remember what it feels like to have a loving family. They were brought to the night when they were 11. Walking home from school together since their houses where in the same direction and area. They are now 20 and 21. Szayel being 20 and Ulquiorra being 21 since he was six months older than Szayel.

"You'll make it out of here." Both Szayel and Nel turned to look at Ulquiorra. It had been the first time he said something since telling Nel his Name a year ago.

"Ulquiorra…"

"Don't let this trash of a place get to you. You will make it out of here." He looked directly at Nel. His voice monotone and expression blank.

Nel wanted to cry. Szayel and Ulquiorra were more confident about her wanting to leave than she was. They stayed strong for her when she was weak.

'If I really do manage to leave this place…I'm taking you both with me. I promise!'

Now out of the hot tub, they were dressed in yukatas. Usually Szayel and Ulquiorra wore feminine yukatas but for some reason tonight is different. They were able to wear male yukatas instead.

Ulquiorra wore a black yukata with thin gray and green stripes; he also wore a deep green obi with flower prints that seemed to match his eyes. Szayel wore a lavender yukata with thin white and black square paterns; he also wore a black obi with similar square patterns as his yukata. Nel wore a dark crystal blue yukata with sky blue rose patterns; her obi was the same sky blue as the rose patters, it also had dark blue vine prints surrounding the roses.

Since the night was different from the others, neither of them found the need to pin up their hair nor wear make for that matter (mainly Ulquiorra and Szayel, but Nel applied a small amount of blush and mascara).

The three of them dreading the night but are eager to find out why tonight was so different.

Now standing in the lounge they were brought out of their thoughts when the secretary Ayaka came up to them.

"Sorry to interrupt you all but Nadeshiko, a client called in for you earlier today and should be arriving soon."

"Oh… thank you Ayaka-san. I'll be in my room shortly." With a curt nod Ayaka went about her way.

Nel gave a sad smile to Ulquiorra and Szayel before turning around and heading toward her room.

Grimmjow was starting to get really impatient. There were so many damn people lined up in front of the night house. There was no way they were gonna get inside before sunrise. Nnoitra seemed just as impatient as Grimmjow while Ichigo stayed a bit clueless.

"Ah, fuck this! I ain't got time for this shit!"

"Then how the hell else we gettin in?"

"Unlike you Jaegerjaqeus, I made a few phone calls. There's a guy round back I know, he'll open the back door."

"How come you didn't say anything earlier you fuckin tree?" Grimmjow snarled at Nnoitra. This only cause Nnoitra to smirk at him.

"Ya didn't ask pussy cat."

"Don't fuckin call me that!"

"Will both of you shut the hell up! Damnit aren't we suppose to be looking for someone instead of arguing like idiots!" Ichigo yelled at both of them. He was already severely irritated about looking for someone he's never heard of before.

Both Nnoitra and Grimmjow looked blankly at Ichigo.

"Che"

"Hmph…Jigura where's the back door?"

"Beats me…"

"For the love of g—ugh!" Grimmjow was starting to get a serious headache. 'This is not happening.'

Ichigo couldn't wait for the night to end. So badly, he just wanted to turn and leave take a taxi home.
