Black butterfly blues.

It's been several days since the girls threw you a sorta-suprise party, and for once in your hectic life, you are actually bored. "Haaa...." Sure, adding the Vizards to your squad has lowered your paperwork pile, but like the demon it is, it wont go away totally.

"Is he in here?" A slightly gruff voice whispers out. "Shh!" You peer over towards the sound of the voices and spy the door to your office creeking open. "Hmm?" You raise an eye as three white clade shapes sneek into the darkened room. "Did he see us?" "Shh!!" You chuckle softly as you instantly recognise the voices.

"L-Luppi-chan...I..I'm not sure about this.." "Shuuushhh!!" You hear more quiet shuffleing as you lean back and stretch. "huuhh...I sure hope I'm not the target of a prank.. I may have to tell Tia about this~" The mention of the unoffical matriarch of your arrancar cuties causes the group to squeek in alarm, and with a calm smile, you watch Luppi, Lilynette and Appaci tumble out from behind your couch.

"hello you three, any reason your sneeking into my office?" Your calm smile, and friendly wave cause the three to blush in embarasment. "Um...w-well.." Appaci shoves Luppi in the shoulder. "Go ahead Luppi, tell him!" "Well, w-we were KINDA bored...aaaaand...you know..." You chuckle at their silly act. "Bored? With the group we call family around?" The three girls giggle at your little joke."

"Everybody is off doing their own things today." Lily-chan whines softly. "And somehow, you three got left behind?" Luppi and Lily-chan glare at a strangely sheepish looking Appaci. "We COULDA gone along, if SOMEONE didnt turn off the alarm.."

A thought crosses your mind on how the arrancars have bunched together into their own little colony in the castle, and somehow, the littlist ones of the group started to share a room. "Hey, I said sorry didnt I?" Not wanting them to squabble, you calmly raise your hands. "Now now, dont fight. Tell you what, as soon as my works done. I'll play with you three, ok?"

The three little arrancars alight with happiness. "REEALLY!?" You smile and nod. "Yup, but you'll have to sit tight for a few minutes before I can-" Your train of thought is broken by a small black butterfly landing on the rim of your hat.
