" Katia Yamada. " She said. Katia was the child of a Russian violinist and a Japanese professor. Her parents had been killed and she was taken in by the Vandenreich. She hated to betray them, but wanted to live.

Hoshi nodded and shunpoed to where Ishida and Saya were. " Rukia wants us to meet her. " Hoshi said. She could sense that there had been a fight in this location.

If Ishida hadn't sensed Hoshi's reiatsu coming their way, he would have accidentally shot her due to the fact that his nerves were on guard, especially since they just finished their fight a few minutes ago. Letting go of his bow, he nodded towards the petite shinigami. "Understood. Let's go Saya-chan," Ishida said a few seconds later.

Ichigo headed inside the shop as he saw Yoruichi exiting from the personal rooms. Deciding not to ask, he waited to catch sight of Urahara.

"Ichigo. It's good to see you. I assume Rukia sent you here." Urahara said. He knew there had been fighting going on .

Saya nodded and followed close to Ishida, feeling like she still wasn't safe. Her nerves were still on edge from the fighting that had only ended minutes ago.

"She did," Ichigo responded as he explained about their new prisoner.

Ishida felt that Saya was still on edge after the battle and still didn't feel completely safe. Placing a hand on her shoulder, he softly told her to relax.

" I'll get the seal ready. " Urahara said. He hoped the prisoner that they had wouldn't be too resitant to giving information to them.

Saya nodded and relaxed. She hated feeling like this, hoping the Vandenreich that had attacked them didn't get any information on how she fought.

Urahara nodded and got the seal ready. He had a futon inside , so who ever it was would be comfortable.

Tetsu felt the remnants of a fight when he arrived home but didn't see Hoshi's body. He assumed that it had happened quickly and had to leave it in a safe place. He wouldn't go investigate unless he was needed.

Katia walked toward the shop she was told about. The hardest part was to appear like nothing was wrong. She had a feeling it would be a very bad idea if she ran , though knew she had no place to go now.

(He?)

Tatsuki had felt a fight going on a few minutes ago, however, wanted to stay with Orihime in case anyone tried attacking her while she was ill. She just hoped that she hadn't missed out on a good fight.

Rukia kept a close eye on Katia, but had a feeling that she had nowhere else to go. She just hoped that the Vandenreich was willing to help them out. If she did, then they would probably try helping her...of course, this was assuming she helped that is.

( sorry about that. Stupid autocorrect is giving me trouble tonight.[sweat] )

Hoshi kept close to Ishida and Saya as they made their way to Urahara's. She wanted to make sure that the Vandenreich didn't decide to come back and attack.

(ah. No worries)

Ichigo followed one of the red spirit threads that he found before standing outside of Orihime's flat. Knocking on the door, he waited a few minutes for Tatsuki or Orihime to answer the door, assuming that both females were inside.

Ishida noticed that Hoshi was staying close to them and silently thanked her for doing so. He had a feeling that Saya would not be able to participate in another battle of that magnitude at the moment.

Urahara got the seal ready. It would be activated once the prisoner was in the specified area . He could sense Rukia and another unfamiliar presence getting closer .

Katia wanted to help the shinigami wanting to have a normal life. She didn't want to continue to be a Quincy if it meant she had to destroy things.

Tatsuki heard the knocking on the door and went to open it. Seeing that it was Ichigo, she asked him what was going on. After Ichigo explained about the short battle and the fact that they captured their opponent, she was split. While she wanted to go see the new captive, she also wanted to make sure that Orihime was alright.

"I'll be fine Tatsuki, honest. If anything happens around here I'm sure my flowers can take care of it," she said as she pointed to her hair ornaments.

"Are you sure?" she asked. Once getting a nod from the girl Tatsuki considered as a sister, she nodded lightly knowing that if Orihime was saying it was alright then she would go. "Alright then Strawberry, let's go," Tatsuki said.

"Whatever you say Ryu-chan," he replied.

Saya was glad that they were getting closer to Urahara's, knowing she would be safe there. She could sense another Quincy, but knew it was a Vandenreich member. She knew their spiritual pressure was much stronger than a Quincies.

Hoshi was glad things had been quiet on the journey to Urahara's Shop. She didn't know how she would have reacted to an ambush.

Hoshi was glad that they arrived safely and could sense Rukia getting closer.She was glad Saya had relaxed and was concerned about her friend.


Katia was tense as they arrived at Urahara's. She sensed a few high level shinigami inside and was afraid this was the end. " I promise to tell you everything I know. " She said to Rukia.

Rukia wondered why she said that already when she finally realized what was going on. She thought about using it against her, but decided against it...except for one rib. "Well since you already agreed, I guess we can call the hounds off. They won't be happy about it though..." She said, her face staying completely serious.

Ichigo saw that Saya had relaxed ever since setting foot into the store and was concerned about her. "Saya-chan, you okay?" he asked.

Saya shook her head no and explained about the battle she and Ishida had fought.

" Kuchiki-San! This must be our guest. I have her room already and it is secure. " Urahara said coming out of the shop. " The others are here waiting. " He added.

Katia tensed up more at the remark , hoping that was a joke of some kind. She hid her pressure out of instinct when a tall blonde haired male walked out of the small shop. She hoped this wasn't her end.

Ichigo saw Hoshi, Saya and Ishida show up with Katia and noticed that Rukia had a small smirk on her face as Katia was scared out of her wits. Sighing lightly, "Alright midget, what did you say to terrify her?" he asked.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," she said in her fake school girl voice. Ichigo stared at her for a few seconds with a "I don't believe you for a second and that doesn't work on me" stare.

Katia was led to a large room with a futon on the floor. She sat on the futon and wondered why they trusted her in the open, unless there was a barrier of some kind keeping her in. She didn't want to find out , since she was afraid this was the end.

" I'm afraid. That's all." Katia said, not wanting to show her fear. She didn't like the uncertainty that awaited her.

Katia nodded." More so the Vandenreich. I don't know what they will do to to me since I didn't return. " She said feeling safer here. She woud give them all the information she could and hoped it was enough.
