Rin.

" Good morning Gram? Where Mom and Dad?"

" They left early on some business."

" I assume they're be back."

" In a couple of days. They tried to wake you but you wouldn't wake up."

So the insane tapping at my door had been them. I should have known. I smiled.

" I'll call them later and let me then know I heard them," I replied pulling the juice from the fringe. " Have you seen Ulquiorra?"

" No dear," Gram said. I nodded. When I woke up this morning I noticed a extreme lack of cold that was his flesh. I'm pretty sure he was sleeping with me last night. Maybe he just needed some air…

" Ok, well I'm going to get ready for school," I said walking back to the my room. Gram hummed then. I headed back to my room. Where I got dressed, did my hair and applied a thin layer of my makeup. Once done I got my stuff ready and headed towards the door.

Gram had toast on the counter waiting for me. I thanked her then headed out the door. Suddenly having to go to school today and deal with Joel and Grimmjow. They were still angry with one another. Knowing those two they would probably start back up again.

When I finally got into the parking lot, after thirty minutes of waiting in line I immediately parked my car and stepped out. Joel's truck was already there. But he was no where to be found.

That's a surprise he's usually here to bless me with his presence. I headed towards school. Stopping when I neared the steps. Rin was sitting upon them, a book in her hands. When I neared she looked up aloofly.

" Molly," she acknowledged.

" Hey Rin," I called. " Where Joel?"

" Inside," she said. I sat down beside her. She shifted uncomfortably.

" We have twenty minutes before our first class starts." I said. She nodded. Then sitting her book down on her lap she stared absently at the ground. As if searching for something to say.

" Your dress is really pretty," I commented.

" Thank you," she said back.

" I was thinking about going to Hot Topic today and getting a some new pants. Wanna come with me? You might find something you really like."

" That would be fine," she said. We sat in silence for a few more moments before I decided to speak up again.

" I'm going to go find Joel alright. I'll be right back."

She nodded. I ran up the stairs into the hall. Crowds of students walked past, some of them snickered my way while others just stared. A couple of girls laughed then pointed behind me. I turned suddenly. Standing behind me was Grimmjow. He was looking the other way, his hands in his pockets his usually pointed turquoise hair was slicked back.

" Grimmjow?"

" I need to talk to you for a minute." He took hold of my arm.

" What…?"

" Hurry before that annoying boyfriend of yours comes." He started to lead me down the hall in a hurry. Nearly dragging down one corridor after the next.

" Grimmjow what…" I was pressed up against the locker. He was turned the opposite way.

" I…I'm sorry," he mumbled.

Still confused all I could manage was a exclaimed… " What!"

" Yesterday. Provoking your boy toy or whatever. Then fighting…" He huffed then started to pace. I pressed my palms against the locker. It's taking him a lot to say sorry…I couldn't help but smile, then giggle. He turned, frustration laced his features.

" What…? I'm trying to apologize and you laugh?"

" No…" I said still laughing. " Its just that…." I put on a somewhat straight face.

" Its ok. I didn't blame you guys. Its not your fault that you had a testonone overload."

He looked at me in disbelief. " Besides you two were prone to fight anyway. Your personalities are so similar that's its unbelievable." He seemed to accept this because his shoulders relaxed and his jaw unclenched. " Why were you so worried about it anyway…?"

He turned smoothly and walked to where I was leaning. Then pressing his hand against the other side of locker next to my head, he leaned over. " Grimmjow?" I said leaning away slightly. His paused slightly, his mouth was inches from mine. His eyes searched mine, blue and beautiful. Staring at them I could see everything he had been through. How hard a life he really had lived. My breath caught in my throat.

" I don't know …what…is it about you?"

" Me?"

" Ever since that day…" He mumbled. I bit my lip. That day. When he captured me, tied me down then tried to kill Ulquiorra. " Your even giving me that same damn look."

I glanced away.

" Your afraid," he said not bothering to break contact with the side of my face. " I don't blame you. I'm a monster."

I turned back towards him swiftly. " Your not."

He shook his head then pulled back. He looked sad for a moment. " You don't know me," he growled.

I felt my fingernails press into my palms. " Then let me know you. You said before that you wanted me ….well wouldn't I be more inclined to let you have me if you let me see the person you really are."

He gave me another sideways look before grinning.

" Man your too damn clever," he said. I grinned. He came back towards me. Then pressing me back up against the locker he pushed his forehead against mine.

" We had a good thing going Grimmjow don't ruin it," I warned staring at him defiantly. He grinned.

" I'm just showing you the real me babe," he shot back. I sneered back then pushed him away with surprising strength. Once away I pressed my hand against his hair and ruffed it until it contained its usual messy shape.

" Then that's a start," I replied continuing my pursuit down the hallway.

When it came time for gym I finally met up with Joel. He had his video camera of course and was filming Paige, the perky plaid in pink popular girl. When I neared she was just getting finished talking about this years Valentine/Prom which she was in charge of decorating.

I almost retched in my mouth at the thought. Pretty in Pink everyone on the walls, in the hall on my desk.

" And that's a rap," Joel replied. She grinned.

" Thank you so much Joel. I knew I could count on you." Running over she gave him a tight hug. " I will be seeing you at the dance right?"

" I'll try," He said. She smiled.

" Alright then. Thanks. I'll come and get the finished copy from you tomorrow aright?"

" That will be fine," and with that she was off. Switching down the hall wince she came.

" Wonder what she gave you to make you record her," I added. Joel turned. He did not look happy. I almost flinched.

" So…."

" Don't start Molly," he said. I blinked.

" What?"

" Nothing. Nothing at all. So how was your day?"

" Delightful," I snapped. " You!"

He glared at me. Then reaching into his pocket he pulled out two floppy pieces of paper. " She gave me invitations. To the dance."

" Oh. That's nice."

" I want you to go with me."

" Really? But those kinds of things aren't…"

" Just us. No one else." He added cutting me off.

" Joel…"

" Afterwards I'll be taking you too dinner." He said. His voice left no room for compromise.

" I don't get a choice do I?"

" Nope," he said pressing a button on his camera.

" Its ok. I can always accidentally loose the ticket in the washer," I joked. He didn't so much as cracked a smile. " You're angry at me aren't you?"

" What do you think?"

" Um…"

" Just forget it," he snapped throwing up both arms and heading back down the hall far away from me.

Betrayal. The word dangled plainly in her mind. Sending a clear shockwave of pain up her spine each time she thought about it. Betrayal. The one thing she couldn't see herself doing, but yet she was.

" I will be able to complete the mission this afternoon," she alerted.

" And the hideout?"

She paused. " I have yet to obtain," she replied. There was a long sigh.

" Very well. Just complete the mission at hand first. Everything else can wait. We are sure that in capturing the girl the others will reveal themselves in time."

" Yes Master."

" Oh and Rin."

" Do not fail. I cannot assure you will live his time if you do." There was a click indicating that he had already hung up.

Molly…Joel…My friends…Through she had to commit the act today. On her date with Molly. Going to the place she called Hot Topic to go shopping. This was her first time doing such a thing with another "Friend." She wanted to know what it would be like.

Betrayal.

Blush found its way to her face. Shopping with Molly…How could she handle such a thing. Someone as beautiful and kind as Molly, was feign to Rin.

" What are you doing up here alone?" It was Joel she turned. When he saw her reddened face he suddenly looked surprised.

" I am to go to Hot Topic with Molly," she said retaining her composure.

" Really?" Joel said rubbing his head.

" I do not know how to handle doing such a thing." She said trustfully.

" Who does?" Joel said. " Molly's a psycho when she goes to that store. If you don't watch her she'll buy the whole place out."

" I do not…"

" Just be yourself. Molly can't ask for anything more."

" Yes but…"

" Geez Rin its not that serious. Just be yourself and your be fine."

" Really?"

Betrayal.

" Yeah. Would I lie to you?" He smiled. That same smile…I still remember it from when he was younger…I can trust it…

" Ok…" Rin said.

" Now come on. School's about to end," Reaching down he grabbed her hand and hurled her up.

Betrayal.

I can not think about it…at least for now. At least until…

" You can change the station if you like" I offered. Rin shook her head.

" I like this station."

" It plays the best Rock," I added.

" It is what Joel usually listens too. So I have grown accustomed to it."

" You guys don't have music like this in the Soul Society?"

She shook her head again. Her grayish/silver hair followed the movement of her head.

" Don't know how you guys do it." I said.

" Many are to busy for such a thing."

" What do you do? I mean what is your rank?"

" I'm second lieutenant to Captain Nemu Kurotsuchi of the 12th division of the 13 Court Guard Squads."

" So your like third in command?"

" Yes," she said. There was a hint of sadness in her voice. I started to ask her about it but stopped.

"So did you get to pick your squad or…."

" We can request what squad we want to be under but we can not officially pick."

" Oh. So is that how you met Joel?"

" I was on my first mission in the world of the living, he was young. I was assigned to find and kill a rouge hollow, who was eating the souls of the living and the dead. It was a harder mission then intended. I ended up getting injured." She paused.

" They let you go alone? What happened to guys to come and help a girl out?"

" I wasn't a girl," she said blandly. I swerved off the road a little.

" What do you mean…? Are you telling me your not a girl?" I exclaimed. Rin looked confused.

" I never said I wasn't a girl?"

" But you just said…" I started.

" I was once male but after my injury I was converted," she said. It was my turn to be confused.

" What…?"

" My body was so badly damaged that I no longer could continue to remain in it. So my master placed me in the body of this female he created."

My head was spinning. I had to pull over on the side of the road. " So your saying you Captain, Nemo whatever, moved you from your original body to another, a female body to save your life."

She nodded. " I was an experiment. He was already dabbling in this sort of thing." She held up both hands. " The experiment was a success." She blinked twice then looked my way. " Does it bother you?"

" No…not really. It's just a surprise." She didn't reply back. " So do you want to go back to being a boy?" I asked. She shook her head.

" No I am content on being female. I was always mistaken as a girl in the Soul Society anyway because of the nature of my looks. But if I must I will go back."

I nodded then pulled back onto the road. I would have never guessed that Rin was once male. It kinda moved my whole outlook of her. I glanced back over at her, she was blushing uncharacteristically.

" What wrong Rin?"

" Nothing. Nothing." She shook her head.

" How about this one Rin?" Molly held up a black dress with a frizzle skirt at the end. Rin shook her head. " Ok then we can try another."

Molly continued rambling through the racks while Rin sorted through the various bows and hair clips they had available. Fun ….this is fun. Molly and me. I want it to last forever.

" Do not fail this time…"

Perhaps it could wait another day. She could make up some excuse, some lie to tell. Make up some occurrence so that Molly wouldn't have to leave. At least not yet. Molly…betrayal is the last….thing I want to do…

" Oh my gosh Rin. I found it. The perfect dress." She held up a all black Lolita dress. The last one on stock. Rin's size. This time Rin nodded. Molly broke out in smiles. Rin liked the way she smiled.

Rin and I finished shopping around a quarter to eight. By the time we were done both our hands were filled with clothes. We even stopped by the food court for a bite too eat.

" Did you have fun?" I asked placing the bags in the back of the car. She nodded

" Good cause I can't wait to do this again."

" Yes….again." She looked down.

" Is something wrong?"

" I think I dropped something?"

" Really?"

" Yes. I think…its over there…" she scattered forward. I started to follow her but she stopped me.

" No…! Don't come any closer….I…."

" Rin?"

" If you….if you come any closer I might…"

" Rin…?

" I might do something horrible."

I neared closer to her. " Like what?"

" I don't know what to do…." She cried. " How to deal with…this…"

" Deal with what Rin?" I asked bending down to her sitting level. She stirred.

" Your going to hate me," she said.

" No I won't?" I said. " Just tell me. I'm your friend Rin."

"Friend?"

"Yeah," I said smiling. "I'm your friend. I really like you. If I didn't then I wouldn't have asked you to come with me." She nodded. "Now come on I think you should sleep over tonight. We can try on our new outfits ok?" I was still holding her hand when she stepped up onto her feet. Tears were still falling down her cheeks, reaching over I wiped them away. She blushed. I started to ask her what she wanted to tell me but stopped when Rin started back to the car.

It sounded important at that moment but now it seemed irrelevant to what we were planning to do. I jumped in the car after her. Questions still fresh on my tongue, but Rin seemed distant so I didn't even bother.

"Another successful day huh hollow?" Kon exclaimed landing on Ulquiorra's new bed. Ulquiorra didn't answer. His attention had been on his newly formed sword. "I can't wait until my Princess comes. So she can hug me too her…" the stuffed lion stopped talking when emerald eyed hollow turned towards him with something live venom. Kon shut his mouth.

"I would much appreciate it if you would not speck of her in such a vague manner.

"Well…excuse me for stating the truth. If she's gorgeous then she's gorgeous." Kon added lying down. And besides she really likes you so someone like me probably wouldn't stand a chance. If it wasn't for my obvious cuteness I probably wouldn't even be here right now."

The mentions of her, of Molly sent his thought spiraling to her again. Surely she was angry at him for leaving her alone this morning. Even so he longed to see her face, hear her voice. After a whole day of going without even he was due.

The sound of a car pulling into the lawn erupted moments later. The stuffed lion leapt from the bed and disappeared out the door. Placing his sword down upon the bed he followed after it, to until he neared the back door. Molly was just stepping out of the car. Upon seeing him she immediately crawled out the car and ran forward.

"Where have you been all day?" She asked him. In the close proximity Ulquiorra could smell her. Underneath the sweat and smothering outside her sweetness rein through.

" Look," she pointed to the her lip. Sticking out was a new piece of jewelry. A ball set at the end, and looped around to the underside of her lip. "It's been a while since I put in my lip ring. I was a little afraid that it closed up."

Ulquiorra eyes went to the lip ring then to her face. She looked tired. Rings surrounded her eyes and her skin looked clammy and paler.

Rin stepped from the car behind Molly. Ulquiorra didn't even notice. " Your tired," he stated brushing her eyebrows. She flinched.

"I've had a long day." She added. " Rin and I are going to stay up and watch horror movies, your welcome to join."

He ignored her offer and continued to examine her features. " Do as you will," he finally said walking ahead of her to the house.

" Phantom of the Opera," I said holding up a Rin's newly brought CD. She nodded. I popped it into the disk drive. " Never seen it before."

" Its is pretty good," she replied. She wore my stripped pajama's with Jack Skeleton on the breast and happy bunny slippers. I had recently pulled her hair up into a tight ponytail that trailed down her back like a silver veil.

" Either way It's probably a step up from the last movie we just watched. It wasn't even scary."

Sitting beside her on the couch I pulled my legs up to my chest. " Thanks for coming Rin. I really needed this. After everything that has been happening, Its refreshing to have sort of a break."

" Your welcome Molly," she said. She was looking down again. I smiled warmly.

" Friends," she replied. I nodded.

" Friends," then falling backwards I laid my head against her lap.

" Yep she's asleep," Kon replied as he leapt over the couch and landed on Molly's shoulder. She stirred but didn't wake. Rin's gaze turned to Ulquiorra who was standing in front of the TV.

" She's really tired," Rin commented rubbing Molly's hair gently. Ulquiorra didn't reply.

Reaching out both arms Ulquiorra signaled for Molly. Abiding his unspoken command she soflty lifted up Molly as not to disturb her and placed her in Ulquiorra's arms.

Through not waking went all for not. " Rin's sleep with me," she said softly into Ulquiorra's shirt.

" So you were awake?" He asked. She didn't open her eyes. " Very well," he replied. Rin looked shocked.

" I don't know how…" She hesitated. " Ok."

" As if its some kind of honor," Ulquiorra replied carrying Molly to her room and laying her down. Then with much care he placed the covers tenderly over her sleeping form. Rin observed him, and how he mechanically yet gently brushed away the stray hair in her face. Turning away he headed to his new room. " If you need me I will be elsewhere."

Then he was gone. Rin watched him go before slowly drawing herself into Molly's bed and laying down. It smelled just like her, and the smell soothed her. Making it easier to close her eyes.

As far as she was concerned everything else could take second seat. The mission…the betrayal. Molly…beautiful…wonderful Molly was Rin's friend. Nothing was more important than his moment.
