" I haven't. I've wanted to read them though. " Hoshi said as they walked toward the front. She sat on a bench and waited for the bell to ring. " Elva-chan? Is it alright if I ask you later about Vincent ? ". Hoshi asked . She wanted to know more about him and Elva , but didn't want to ask any questions that her young friend didn't want to answer.

Elva was curious as to what Hoshi wanted to know and said that it would be alright but first asked her own question. " Why do you want to know?"

" I just would like to know what he is like." Hoshi said with a smile. She also wondered about the rest of Elva's family and if they were worried about Vincent too.

Elva nodded lightly. "My brother is very kind and strong...he reminds me a little of Chad-san, although he isn't as tall as the giant," Elva said quietly.

" He sounds like a wonderful person Elva-chan. " Hoshi said with a small smile, hoping to help her friend feel better. She was determined to help him escape from the Bount.

Elva blushed lightly at the praise. "Thanks for saying that Hoshi-chan. He was everything to me, and still is."

" He probably feels the same way about you. Can Seers see spirits? I've wondered this since I found out I was a Seer. " Hoshi said. She had often wonderd if it was normal for Seers to see ghosts.

"I hope he does...besides our step-mom, who I hate, he's all I have," Elva said, a frown appearing on her face for a few seconds before she replaced it with a grin. "I think all Seers can see ghosts, but only a few can actually interact with them," Elva said. She knew that when she was alive she could see spirits and tried helping them as best as she could. However, she never saw any Hollows while helping the Pluses.

" My dad is the only family I have. I have wondered if they could see ghosts. " Hoshi said solemnly. She felt bad that both Elva's parents were gone. She heard the bell ring and waited for Ichigo and the others to get out of class.

Tatsuki saw Hoshi and Elva waiting for them and headed towards the two. Once she was within hearing distance, "Class let out early?" she asked.

"Really?" Elva asked quickly. "I'm sorry. If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to," she said, apologizing for her actions.

"I'll tell you later . I promise. " Hoshi said with a smile."Class did get out early again today." She said answering Tatsuki's question. It sort of bothered Hoshi that Arima-sensei had been letting them out early this year.

"Alright," Elva said as she saw Tatsuki head towards them and let the two talk.

Hoshi talked with Tatsuki as they waited for the others to arrive. She knew they would be headed to Urahara's once they did.

Hoshi wondered what was wrong when she saw the scowl on Ichigo's face. She was getting nervous about telling the others about what she knew.

" Is everything alright?" Hoshi asked. She saw Chad coming too toward them.

Ichigo heard a couple of sirens from across the way and inwardly smiled. "Let's just say the people I ran into don't want to remind them of the lesson they learned today," was all that Ichigo would say.

Tatsuki shook her head lightly. "One of these days you're going to pick a fight that you can't win, you know." Tatsuki said as Ichigo just shrugged.

Hoshi agreed with Tatsuki, but didn't say anything. She kept her guard high as they walked, in case they were being followed.

Hoshi also wondered where Ishida was today. It wasn't often that he missed class ,and was concerned when he did. " You doing alright Elva-chan? " She asked, seeing her friend was a little tense.

"Does your missing friend have a bow for a weapon," she asked lightly. She had shuddered lightly since she saw a vision while walking next to Hoshi. While it was rare for Seers to have visions while awake, it did happen.

" He does." Hoshi said , hoping nothing bad had happened to Ishida.

Elva nodded lightly. "I don't know if it happened today or if it will happen in the future, but he was ambushed. He fought well, but...he's hurt. Badly," she said, not wanting to go into the details of how bad his injuries were, especially since some of them looked life threatening. Unfortunately, her vision didn't show anything else.

Hoshi was quiet the rest of the way to Urahara's. She hoped that Ishida was alright, not wanting to see any of her friends hurt.
