<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#cc99cc">"Why not? I could use a bit of exercise."</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00"> Shana said, silently thinking of Grimmjow. She unsheathed her sword and took her stance, seeming a bit eager to get going.<br/>

In response to Daisuke's question, a chocolate-haired violet-eyed girl with tiger ears and matching tail giggled from where the doll had been.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bdfcc9">"That's simple, Daisuke-Kun! Ka-Sama is going to push you to your limits by pulling almost all the stops on herself."</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">the girl said. Then, without changing attitude or even taking her eyes off of Daisuke, she pulled a spike-edged blade out of the ground and swung at Koichi, who dodged in shock at the speed.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bdfcc9">"And while Ka-Sama's doing that, I get to play with Shishou-Kun! Everybody gets to play!"</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff3300">"Oh, great. Mama's getting serious, and Kureha-Chan thinks this is a freakin' game!"</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">Koichi mumbled, being near enough to him that only Daisuke heard him clearly.<br/>

As Yachiru opened her mouth to speak, the familiar pressure of Hitsugaya activating his Bankai filled the air, as well as the ambient temperature dropping to near freezing. Hitsugaya Toshiro was the only person out of the Captains that hadn't met Nell.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffe1ff">"Just head for Snowy-Taicho."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">-----<br/>

Lillinette had anticipated receiving a 'no' as an answer, but all the same, she couldn't help feeling odd.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffcccc">"Even...even though I had prepared for a 'no'...I still can't help feeling a bit...I think that human girl called it 'hearbroken'."</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">she said.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffcccc">"Even so, I apologize for taking your time, Dietor-Kun. Maybe...maybe uder different circumstances, there could've been something more for us."</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00"><br/>
<br/>
Even though there were obvious tears in her eyes at the sadness of being turned down, she still found some way to smile. Lilly bowed politely, then smiled gently at the assasin. Before she chose to leave, she steeled her nerves and wrapped her arms around Dietor, as if thanking him for both being honest and caring enough to let her down gently.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffcccc">"Thank you anyways, Dietor-Kun. Sorry if I wasted your time."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">As she spun around to leave, the centrifugal force lifted her skirt just enough to reveal her lingerie, though she seemed blissfully unaware that she'd just unveiled her panties, which just happened to be the same exact shade of pink as her eyes.<br/>
<br/>
After she'd left, there was a quick pulse of Ulquiorra's reiatsu, calling Dietor to the sunlight dome. It seemed that the Quarta Espada had something for his unofficial Fraccion to do.</span>
