Elva continued on in silence, not liking the fact that it was she who caused the bad mood to be felt by everyone else.

Hoshi was glad that they had made it safely to Urahara's " Well ! This is like old times. " Urahara said , noticing the young spirit that was with them . " Let's head to the back room so we can talk. " He said ,getting up from where he was sitting. [/COLOR]

Elva stood behind Hoshi, not liking the mad scientist vibe she was getting from the older blonde.

" It's alright Elva-chan. " Hoshi said as they walked toward the back.

" And who might you be ?" Urahara said kindly to Elva with a smile once they all were seated. He sensed the tension from the young spirit , having the feeling she was Seer like Hoshi was. Urahara wanted her to feel comfortable, knowing trust was important to Seers.
(Sorry about taking so long. Got The Hunger Games as a present and can't put it down.:XD: )

(which one in the series? The Hunger Games, Chasing Fire or Mockingjay? Also, Catnip *dodges arrows* is adorable. and I don't blame you...I read the first book in one day)

Elva tried reading Urahara's reiatsu and got a complex man but someone she could trust. "Elva, my name is Elva," she said as she sat next to Hoshi.

(I got The Hunger Games. I'm almost done with it. Going to buy the other two books tomorrow. )
"Nice to meet you Elva-san.How is it that you met Hoshi? " Urahara assumed it was Hoshi.He had a feeling that was why almost everyone was here.

" I met Elva yesterday while I was waiting for school to let out. I had sensed something nearby but didn't know if it was a Bount or not. I soon sensed a low level Hollow on the school grounds and I went to fight it . Afterward I said it was safe to come out of hiding. That's when I met Elva. What she told me is why we are here. " Hoshi said taking a deep breath. " She told me her brother Vincent is being forced to do terrible things by the Bount. Vincent and Elva are Seers like I am. She told me and Ichigo where the Bount were hiding. " Hoshi said. She would let Ichigo tell about the recon they did after school.

(Nice. Ordered the two books from amazon since I had a gift card that was suppose to go to the Kindle, but I didn't want the Kindle in the first place, so I just bought the two books and I might give the gift back to mom in February)

Ichigo knew that Hoshi wanted him to tell about the recon that they did and sighed, knowing that his friends were going to heckle him for his stupidity. "I didn't want to let an opportunity up, so I asked if Elva-san knew about the location of the Bounts. She responded that she did and guided us there. We looked around before we felt someone watching us," Ichigo said as he explained the events that happened.

( not sure where I'll buy mine. Might check Walmart , but if I can't find it there I might buy from Amazon. My town doesnt have a good bookstore any more. I used to go to Borders , but since they went out of business I don't want to travel two hours to the nearest B and N. )

Urahara knew that Hoshi and Ichigo going to the Bount's hideout , but he wouldn't say any thing. "Sounds interesting , since now we know that there is a rogue Shinigami working with the Bount. Captain , has there been any reports of missing Shinigami lately ?" He asked Captain Hitsugaya ." Elva-san can you tell me anything about this Shinigami that was working with the Bount ?"He asked . Urahara was glad his assumption about Elva being a Seer was correct.

Elva shook her head lightly. "Sorry...I didn't get a look at him. I didn't want to leave...not when my brother is in danger," she said.

"I'm willing to try," Ichigo said quickly. "Besides, if anyone should be a guinea pig for such an idea it should be me," he continued onwards.

"I want to try also," Tatsuki said firmly, halfway daring Ichigo to say no.

" I would like to try too. " Hoshi said confidently.
" Then it is settled. I should have something figured out by Saturday . Chad , Orihime, if you would like to come also , it is fine with me. I would also like to help with building everyones teamwork skills. I have a feeling we will need everyone's help like we did the last time. " Urahara said hoping that Ishida would agree to come also .

" I understand. " Hoshi said with a nod, knowing Ichigo didn't want to see her or Tatsuki hurt if anything did go wrong.

Elva thought about telling Urahara about Ishida's attack but thought better about it since she wasn't sure if it happened already or not. Plus...she wasn't sure exactly why he was absent today and wasn't jumping to conclusions just yet.

Hoshi hoped Elva was alright.

" See you all on Saturday."Urahara said , and pulled Ichigo aside for a moment.
