" He probably wants her because she's a Seer. All I know is he feels all Seers are traitors and need to be dealt with. Though I think he wants her since she knows where Saya is staying. " Katia said with an involuntary shudder. She didn't want to see Hoshi captured or hurt.

Tetsu shuddered as well after hearing what Katia said about her ex-leader's attention when it came to her daughter. He still remembered what both Katia and Hoshi said this morning, but kept his mouth shut.

Soi-fong sighed quietly at this, knowing that she wasn't going to like speaking of this. "A few members of the Vandenreich appeared. Four captains have admitted to losing their Bankais. Do you know what is doing this and/or how it works?" she asked.

" I do. It's a small disk that can absorb the Bankai. It then can be used against the captain if the person who stole it wishes to do so. " Katia said feeling a bit sick hearing that some captains had their Bankai stolen.

" I did, but I gave it to Urahara-sensei to find a away to reverse the effects and to keep a bankai from being stolen." Katia said.

" It is possible. He wanted to create a disk that could re absorb the Bankai that had been stolen, though I don't know if he finished it yet." Katia said.

" Is there anything else you would like to know? " Katia asked. She hoped she was being of some help.

" I know that the leader goes by the name Buckbeard. I don't know of his real name but I know he is very powerful. I also know of a technique that the Stern Ritter use. The Stern Ritter is an elite group of the Vandenreich army. They use something called Blut. It's a technique that gives one inhuman defensive and offensive capability by making reishi flow into their blood vessels." Katia said. She knew of the technique but had never used it. She knew she wasn't strong enough.

Soi-fong wrote the information down, knowing that she couldn't remember everything that Katia just said. Grinning lightly, she thanked Katia for cooperating with them.

Tetsu wondered if Ishida or Katia knew the technique and if not, figured that Ryuuken would.

" I am glad to help. " Katia said. She wondered if she should say anything about the dream Hoshi had, not wantng anything bad to happen.

Hoshi wondered how Katia was doing. She hoped they all would find out how it went.


Katia gave a small smile and was glad that she was helping out. She felt she fit in better here and not feeling useless anymore.

Katia blushed a little bit. " It was nice meeting you." Katia said with a small smile.

Tetsu was glad that everything went well. " Ready to head downstairs Katia-chan. " He asked.

Katia nodded with a grin on her face, glad that she wasn't being separated from her new-found family. "Ready," she said, wondering if the technique that Ishida showed her had helped raise her reiatsu levels, although she wasn't sure if she could yet use the technique that she told Soi-fong.

Hoshi saw her dad and Katia and was glad to see them both. She knew the others would be glad too. " How did it go?" She asked.

"It went well," Katia responded with a grin before lowering her voice to a whisper before saying that she didn't tell Soi-fong about her dream vision.

" I'm glad it went well." Hoshi said with a smile and said in a whisper." It's alright. It's probably for the best." Hoshi had a feeling things were very tense in Soul Society, but couldn't figure out why.

"If you say so," she whispered before seeing that Ichigo wasn't there. "Where's Ichigo-san?" she asked.

" I don't know. Usually he would have let me know if he couldn't come." Hoshi said feeling a little concerned.
