"Thanks Tetsu. I think Minato should be here tomorrow or the day after," Byakuya said before taking his leave, knowing that he had people to check on and make sure that they weren't doing things that they weren't suppose to. He was sure that some members from the Eleventh squad would be looking for fights.
~~~

Yoruichi blushed lightly at what he said, glad that he was asking for her input. "Thanks," Yoruichi responded and was about to say something else when their food came.
~~~

"Karin-chan likes sports, mostly soccer, although she isn't bad in the kitchen either. Whenever I was sick, she's the one that cooked and while I haven't tried her cooking firsthand, Aniki and Tou-san have said it's decent. She also wanted to go to the movies to see that new chick flick, even if she would deny it to her dying breath if you asked her," Yuzu said with a small grin, not knowing that Karin was just outside the door.

Tetsu went back inside shortly afterwards and saw the girls in the kitchen. "The Shinigami are here to make sure that Vandenreich stay away from here. Isshin-San believes that they'll try to attack on Sunday. Also both you girls will be safe while you fight. Though it won't be held against you if you decide not to. Captain Kuchiki has asked one of the members of his squad to shadow you girls " Tetsu said.

Hoshi knew she wanted to fight and was glad someone had agreed to watch them, but she wondered who the person was.

---------
Urahara was enjoying the food and Yoruichi's company. "How is your dinner?" He asked after a while.

--------
" I know grandma wants to see that movie too. She's been complaining that grandpa won't take her. I know you three will have fun. I'm thinking my mom will want to help me unpack my apartment , though I would rather spend time with you guys. " Naomi said. She loved her mom very much, but sometimes wanted to do things on her own. She had been like that since she was a little girl , but still liked the time she spent with her mom.

Katia was glad to hear the news that her uncle got for them both and that it came from Byakuya-taichou, one of the few captains that she could trust, although she wondered if it was because the Vandenreich were forcing Jessica to block their visions of the attack, if there was indeed going to be one, from them, since neither of them had discussed an incoming attack. Then again, Hoshi did have a vision about her being chased by Coin and Snow in the forest...

"I want to fight. I'm glad that someone will be shadowing the both of us, but I want to help. If nothing else, I want to prove to everyone here where my loyalties lie, and everyone here has been working so hard for me to obtain a normal life...I'd rather not let the people I used to work with take that away," she said, hoping that her cousin agreed.
~~~

Yoruichi was enjoying not only the food, but Kisuke's company as well, glad that she had suggested the restaurant in the first place. Hearing her date's question, she swallowed the bite that she in her mouth down first before answering, "It's very good. What about yours?" she asked.
~~~

Karin shook her head lightly before coming into the kitchen, secretly glad that their grandmother would want to spend some time with the two of them. It had been so long since they last saw them that she barely remembered Grandma Eiko (I think that's right) and Grandpa Ren. "I think it's nice that your mom wants to spend time with you Naomi," she said, knowing that only Ichigo and their dad had fond memories of their mother/wife.

Hoshi nodded in agreement." I want to show that I am a capable fighter and will do my best to fight." Hoshi said in a determined tone,. She wasn't going to let the vandenreich succeed in what they had planned. She had a feeling she was going to have a vision tonight, and hoped it wouldn't be a bad one.

Tetsu smiled at the determination both girls had." I'm glad you both want to fight. " He said with a smile.

------
" That's good. Mine is very good too. " Urahara said with a grin. He was happy that the both of hem were having a great time together.

-----
"It is good. It's been a while since I've seen her." Naomi said sadly. She had been so busy with her studies that she didn't go home during the last few breaks to see her family. " Mom's a pretty good cook too. Her parents owned a bakery in Yokohama for many years. Mom is a graphic artist , but her first job was cake decoration at her parent's bakery." She said with a smile.

Katia grinned lightly at the praise. She was glad that her cousin also wanted to fight and hoped that they could prevent the vision of Tetsu dying from happening, at least during the war. She had a feeling that she was going to have a vision tonight and hoped that it was of something good.
~~~

Yoruichi nodded, glad that the two of them could enjoy the night like they were doing. It was something different, but in a good way.
~~~

"Perhaps she could teach us a few new recipes then?" she asked, hoping that her aunt would. No one but her family knew that Karin liked to cook just as much as her sister. In fact, it was one of the few girly things she did.
~~~

The Vandenreich leader was glad to know that he was getting results from Jessica. If he knew that all he had to do was threaten to harm the first key, Rue Collins, then he would have done so the first week that she was here. He decided to go lax on her tonight, having a feeling that she knew what the consequences would be if she disobeyed him.

Tetsu smiled and hoped the meditation that the girls would be doing each night was enough to help them with their visions. He didn't want the Vandenriech to succeed in hurting them. He hoped Jessica knew of ways to still allow the visions to happen without getting caught.
------
Urahara was full after eating his dinner and was happy that tonight had gone well. He hoped Yoruichi had as good of time as he did.

-----
" I think she could." Naomi said with a smile glad that the girls were looking forward to meeting their family.

------
Jessica hoped she wouldn't get caught by allowing both Hoshi and Katia to have visions, but still gave them the nightmares. She didn't want any Seer to have to suffer losing family because of the Vandenreich. Her uncle Jake had been killed by the Vandenreich many years ago for risking capture. She hoped her parents were safe and still alive and wiped away the tears she felt in her eyes.

Yoruichi was glad that Kisuke agreed on the date and hoped that he would take her on another one in the future. After a few minutes, the waitress took both plates away and asked if they wanted dessert.
~~~

Both girls were happy to hear that, knowing they would like to make some memories with their mother's side of the family, especially since the last time they saw them was when they were infants.
~~~

The Leader went to sleep, giving Jessica the benefit of the doubt for tonight. Of course if he found out that she had abused his kindness then she wouldn't like the consequences.

(Not sure what's wrong with mene. I hope you get this. )

Urahara didn't want desert but was willing to share one with Yoruichi. He asked her if she wanted to share one with him hoping she did.


------
Hoshi got ready for bed and meditated a bit. She hoped that she really was going to have a vision tonight and was worried about Jessica for some reason. " Ready for bed Katia-chan?" Hoshi asked.

-----
" Are you girls ready for me to teach you?" Naomi asked her cousins. She was ready for some sleep after the eventful day.

(It's being glitchy all day)

"no thank you," Yoruichi also replied. She had a feeling that Kisuke wanted to share one, but she couldn't eat another bite, not now at least.
~~~

Katia nodded as she got into her new bed, although she was worried about Jessica for some reason and she didn't know why. She hoped Jessica was alright...
~~~

Both Karin and Yuzu nodded at their cousin. Karin didn't want to be a bother until her powers awakened and Yuzu didn't want her older siblings to worry about her.

( I know. I kept getting that error earlier. Wonder what happened. )

Urahara looked at the bill and stood up once the waitress had left the bill. He left a tip and offered his hand to Yoruichi. " I hope you had a good evening. " He said with a smile.

----------

Hoshi turned off the light and said good night to Katia. Hoshi fell asleep and dreamed of a intense battle. There were many hollows and she was doing her best to fight them. She saw a man that she didn't recognize who was fighting a Vandenreich and was trying to get to her. Hoshi felt herself being grabbed and she woke up suddenly .Hoshi knew this was a vision and closed her eyes again. She hoped Jessica would be alright not wanting the girl to be punished.

-----
Jessica focused to make it seem she was blocking both Katia and Hoshi. She knew that completely blocking them would soon cause her to not have visions and knew not having visions was a bad thing. Jessica feared she would be found out, but knew there wasn't a way to prove she was disobeying. Her dad had taught her these moves only because it would help her with the nightmares she had always been prone to. Jessica missed her parents and hoped they were still alive.

-----
Naomi helped both her cousins with repressing their energy and was glad they were quick learners. She said good night and went to the room she was able to borrow for the night. She was looking forward to being in her new apartment tomorrow and meeting Ichigo's other friends.

"I enjoyed this night immensely, thank you Kisuke," she said as she took his hand as both of them left the restaurant.
~~~

"Night Hoshi-chan," Katia replied after finishing her meditation. After falling asleep she had a vision of the battle that both she and Hoshi was in, seeing a blonde-haired man working with them. She also saw the man take what seemed to be a lethal hit...that was meant for her. Before she could figure out if the man was alright, she woke up, a slight amount of sweat on her face.
~~~

The Kurosaki sisters were surprised as to how quickly and easily they learned the technique of how to repress their reiatsu before saying good night to Naomi. Yuzu decided on keeping her reiatsu suppressed as she went to sleep whereas Karin just fell asleep, or at least tried to do so with her reiatsu acting the way it was.

" I'm glad you did. " Urahara said as they walked back home. He was glad that the restaurant was reasonably priced. He sensed more Shinigami in the area and was feeling that soon this peace would be disturbed. He hoped that in the next few days he and Yoruichi would be able to spend time together.

--------
Hoshi woke up after a nightmare and shuddered. It was always the same one, running down white halls being chased by someone evil. She knew that Aizen couldn't hurt her , but feared the man who had taken his place still could. She was glad it was almost time to wake up and then would tell Katia her dream.

-----
Naomi woke up at 6 that morning and stretched.In about 2 hours her things would be in Karakura and delivered to her apartment. She had a feeling her uncle was already awake and Naomi got dressed in her training outfit. It was a white pair of light weight pants and a light weight jacket with a hood. She had a light blue t shirt underneath that helped the outfit look normal. She wondered what Ichigo's would be since he was a Shinigami. She grabbed her bag as she went out of the room and saw her uncle already awake. " Morning hope you slept well. " She said with a smile.

Yoruichi noticed the other shinigami in the area as well and sighed lightly to herself. She just hoped that even with everything that was going to most likely happen that they could still have some moments together.
~~~

Katia woke up slowly, yawning as sleep still tried to keep it's hold on the young woman. However, seeing the worried look in her cousin's eyes quickly woke her up. "Hoshi?" she asked, wondering what was wrong, having a feeling that it had to do something with the vision she saw. 'Or was it more of a nightmare than a vision? He wouldn't try to have me killed...would he?' she asked herself.
~~~

"Morning Naomi. I take it that you're about to do some training?" Isshin asked, glad that someone in this household could wake up early without him having to interrupt their sleep. He had a feeling that Ichigo would sleep in if he didn't constantly try waking his son up the way that he did.

"I had a scary vision last night. I dreamed we both were fighting hollows and there was a blond haired man with us. He was helping us fight the hollows while he was fighting a Vandenreich member. He was trying to get to us and I had been grabbed by behind while I was trying to get to you. You had Snow behind you and it must have been Coin who grabbed me. I could see the blond haired man block a hit with his sword that was intended for you. " Hoshi said and shuddered. She hated the dreams where she was captured.


------
" I am, but not till later. I'll be training with Ichigo and his friends this afternoon. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Ichigo fights. " Naomi said and sat down.

"I saw that too, though I didn't see what happened to the blonde-haired man. But I would think that my ex-leader would want me captured and brought back to him, not killed..." Katia said before telling Hoshi what she saw in her own vision.
~~~

"You'll find out then, I'm sure," he replied.

" It could be that Snow and Coin are working for someone else too." Hoshi said thinking it was strange too that Katia was a target of a lethal blow. She thought about the vision her cousin had and had a feeling they would meet the blond haired man very soon.


------
" I'm sure I will. " Naomi said with a smile." Dad wanted me to ask if there still is the training area under the clinic. He said that's where grandpa wants to train Ichigo." She said after a little while.

"But what would my death bring to the boss of Coin and Snow, if that is the case," Katia asked, somewhat surprised that they had both seen the blonde-haired man. She wondered if they would meet him soon.
~~~

"It is, though I don't know what condition it's in since I haven't used it in forever and the others didn't know about it," Isshin replied.

" For some reason I have a feeling Coin and Snow are working for someone else. Your death could be something used to upset the leader of the Vandenreich." Hoshi said and shuddered, not sure why she felt that way. She hated that Katia was a possible target and that she was captured in this vision.


------
" Dad says he'll take a look at it tomorrow. He said if it's condition is too bad , grandpa will train Ichigo at Urahara's." Naomi said remembering what the message said.

"It's possible...but I don't like it. I think we should try sticking as close together during this battle, assuming that it's soon," Katia said, not liking the fact that she could possibly die...or that blonde-haired man could die for her. She didn't want that on her conscious.
~~~

"I'll go ahead and take a look, and clean it if it needs cleaning today," Isshin said. He knew that while Ryuuken was alright with him, he didn't know how he felt about his son.

" Sounds like a good idea. I don't want to be captured. Do you think dad should know?" Hoshi asked knowing they still had some time till her dad left for work.



" Okay." Naomi said and thought a moment. "Do you think the other Quincy here in Karakura mind my presence here? Grandpa said that it can be a bit tricky when a Quincy moves to a new area." She said. She was a bit nervous since she had felt several presences in the area.

"I think he should know, especially if he knows who the blonde-haired man is," Katia responded.
~~~

"I doubt it. Although I'm not sure what will happen if you tell other Quincy that you're an Elemental," Isshin said, though he had a feeling that if anyone did care, they'd be facing down Ichigo.

(also, perhaps we could make Karin an Elemental Quincy?)

( we could. What element should she be? )

Hoshi nodded. "That sounds like a good idea. " Hoshi said. " Do you want to use the shower first?" Hoshi asked after a little bit. She hoped Jessica was alright since she still worried about the other girl.


" I don't know either.Dad has had trouble in the past , but he says usually the other Quincy have respected what he can do despite being an elemental. If they are younger, they might not have heard of Elemental Quincies, but if they are older , they might want to see what I can do." Naomi said feeling a little nervous. She really didn't want to fight another Quincy. " I have a feeling that Karin might be an elemental. But I might be wrong once her power is unlocked. " She added.

(I was thinking fire, for her temper and all that)

"Are you sure? I don't mind taking a shower after you Hoshi," Katia responded.
~~~

"Ishida's father might want to see your abilities first hand then, if you tell them about it, but I think that's about it. I wouldn't mind if Karin-chan was an Elemental Quincy to be honest, but I don't think Ichigo would be one," Isshin said after a few minutes of thought.

( I agree. )

" I'm sure. " Hoshi said. She wanted to think about a little about what they both had dreamed. She wondered if it was normal for two Seers to have similar visions and would ask her dad that.


------

" I'm sure Ishida-san will wonder about my abilities and ask after training today. I don't mind showing what I can do, since it will bring a better understanding of elementals. " Naomi said since she knew most Quincy had never seen an elemental fight before. " I don't think Ichigo will be either. I think his powers are more like grandpa's and Aunt Misaki's since those powers are more of a melee type. " She added.
-----
Jessica woke up with a severe headache, knowing that was a side effect of giving another person nightmares. She knew the leader would want to know how she did that night, knowing if she failed ,they wouldn't feed her today.

"Alright," Katia replied as he got up out of the bed and headed towards the bathroom. Once inside, she closed the door and then turned the shower on. 'I hope Hoshi-chan is okay...it's weird for us to always be having similar visions and/or nightmares,' she thought to herself.
~~~

Isshin chuckled lightly at that after nodding at what Naomi said. "Yeah, him being more of a melee person is a pretty good description of his powers, which I'm sure you'll see when you spar with him later on today," he replied.
~~~

The Leader woke up and yawned before stretching for a few seconds. After getting himself ready for the day, he stopped by the cell of Jessica and Rue. "Well?" he asked, waiting to hear what she had done over the night.
