CHAPTER 4: OF PLANS AND GIGAS part two
Szayel rolled his eyes as he walked over to the tables. Yoh sighed, of course he would do something like this, it wasn't that surprising to him and it shouldn't have been to the girls either.
"Calm down," The scientist stated as if three bodies in a lab were the most common thing in the world, but maybe in his world it was.
"Calm down? You have three dead bodies and you want us to calm down?" Kieli hissed, backing away from the tables. A look of confusion passed over Szayel's face before a smile took over.
"Dead? Those are not dead bodies." He tried to hide his laughter.
"Really? They look dead to me." Nora snapped losing her normally composed personality.
"Yes really. Those are the things you will be using to hide your spiritual pressure. It's similar to the gigais that the soul reapers use while in the human world. Not only will it hide your pressure and allow you to be seen by humans, it will keep you from being noticed by those soul reapers. Nora this one is for you," He pointed to the body on the far left.
It looked just like Nora, the only difference was that her skin was tanner and her black hair had a pixie cut.
"Kieli, this one is yours," He pointed to the one in the middle. Instead of blue hair like Kieli, the body on the table had straight blonde hair that reached past her shoulder blades.
"And Yoh, this one is yours." The last one on the table looked like Yoh, if he were in some sort of stereotypical punk movie. "Go ahead, try them on."

"Are you finished putting them on?" Szayel asked impatient to see how his modified gigais looked. Behind the curtain (Kieli and Nora forced Szayel to put up) Kieli struggled fitting into the gigai.
"Shut up!" She hissed. Nora, already fitted into hers, rolled her eyes. She silently helped Kieli, who took the help without a fight. Kieli mumbled thanks under her breath before pushing the curtain to the side to show Szayel.
They didn't look like themselves; instead they looked more like teenagers from America than teens from Japan like they were supposed to be. Szayel circled the two girls as he made mental notes on what needed to be fixed.
Kieli wore a plain blue shirt, skinny jeans and grey knit boots. Her blonde hair fell loosely down her back and her bangs swept to the side showing only one of her ice blue eyes.
"I look like an idiot." Kieli mumbled picking at her clothes. Nora shrugged thinking she didn't look too different from her normal self. She looked in the mirror as Kieli went on about how stupid she looked and tried to get use to her new reflection. She wore a simple green tee-shirt, faded denim jeans and a pair of white ankle boots.
"Will you please be quite Kieli? I made it exactly to what was requested. Put it up with the one who is making your background information." Szayel pushed his glasses up trying his best not to be annoyed by Kieli.
"Szayel, this feels weird." Yoh said, finally stepping out from his makeshift dressing room. He was shorter than normal, about two inches or so, and his hair was spiked into a mohawk.
He wore a black shirt with the anarchy symbol scribbled across, black baggy pants hung low on his waist. Chains and random straps hung around his legs, threatening to pull his jeans lower. A pair of black and red combat boots covered in useless buckles finished his new look. Kieli and Nora stood wide eyed as they watched him step further into the room allowing Szayel to inspect the gigai. Yoh shifted uncomfortably. If this is what was popular then they were going to stick out like sore thumbs. How did people even walk with their pants down so low?
"Umm Szayel?" Nora said after a while.
"Hmm?" He responded.
"You said that these are like the gigais the soul reapers use, so I was wondering, what's the difference?" Szayel smirked at the question ready to launch into a full description. "The short story please." Nora added as an afterthought knowing Szayel would spend an hour explaining. His smile fell a bit.
"Well you see, if you were to use those gigais, they would easily be able to tell you are not human. How to explain…picture your Espada power as a sort of colored ribbon, a ribbon that only the eyes of a trained soul reaper could see. These gigais help to change that color from one of an espadas to the color of a human's ribbon. Does that make any sense?"
He asked, not sure if his analogy worked.
Nora nodded, somewhat getting the idea but Kieli and Yoh were still confused. What the hell was he talking about? Ribbon? "And these gigais also channels you extra abilities so, to the soul reapers, you are just like humans with slight spiritual pressure, but not much. So they would not see you as a threat."
"Cool, so we'll be like super humans then." Yoh said. The pink haired Espada sighed exasperatedly and rolled his eyes.
"Sure, we'll go with that." Nora answered seeing as Szayel was almost at wits end. "We're going to change then leave-"
"Oh and another thing, with all the modifications I made to the gigais, you can't keep taking them off and on like you please." Szayel said stopping the three.
"What, Why not?" Kieli asked.
"As soon as you take it off the seal is broken and every soul reaper will be able to sense you. So unless you want to be caught and executed I suggest you keep them on. Don't worry you will get used to wearing them." Szayel said.

[A/N] Thank you so much for all the favorites and the follows, it makes my day (even though I didn't really think this story was all that great to be honest). Anyways I will try to make the chapters a little bit longer. Let me know what you think and tell me what you want to see in the next chapters. Please review, I do appreciate constructive criticism.
