All three shinigami in the room were astonished by the knowledge that Travis knew, each one quickly mentioning that it wasn't a problem. They also understood why the Vandenreich hated the Seers and wanted to kill them off, even though they also understood the one quality that the branching members of the Quincy understood about the Seers as well: they were only human.

"To my knowledge, the farthest that I've heard mentions of the Shinigami and of Soul Society is during the eleventh century, but it was only mentioned in passing by a priest of the name of Sabbah, who wondered what happened to the soul of the person that he and his soldiers killed in order to protect their land. I believe he also was the creator or father of the Guild of Assassins, but I'm not one hundred percent sure about that last tidbit," Kisuke said. "Although it is also possible that Soul Society was created long before being mentioned, since you cannot have life without having death."

" I know that most religions have stories of what the afterlife is like. I wonder if they all are connected some how. Like their might really be a supreme being who created everything." Travis said thinking. He knew about why Aizen had tried to destroy this town and wondered who this Soul King really was.

"Even I don't know the answer to that question Travis-san," Kisuke answered, although he did admit that it was entirely possible.

"Oh good, you're awake. We were starting to worry about you," Ned said as Jessica just glared at him, knowing that he and a female were responsible for her being here against her will.

Travis nodded." What else should we discuss?" He asked." I know that there will be a time when the Clans will want to be involved once they find out the Vandenreich are causing this much trouble.It's just getting them to fight in this battle since they might consider this a Shinigami problem." Travis said. He wasn't fully affiliated with the Quincy Council but he had an idea on how they thought when it came to these sort of things.

"Do we know anything about the Seer that was captured?" Unohana asked.

" We know her name is Jessica Williams and is 18 years old. She and her parents live on a sheep ranch just outside Darwin, Australia. Her parents were badly injured in the attack but should make a recovery. From what I could gather, there is a good chance she'll be forced to block Hoshi and Katia from having visions. We have to find a way to get Jessica to safety and also rescue Rue Collins from the Vandenreich." Kisuke said. He knew Katia was able to open a portal to where the Vandenreich were, but knew their enemies would expect that.

Byakuya and Unohana nodded after Kisuke informed them. Byakuya knew of her name, but that was all he knew, unlike Kisuke. "So the question is, how do we rescue them? It's obvious that we'll have to create a portal, but they'll be expecting that," Byakuya said as he thought for a few seconds. Then he remembered what Travis said. "Travis-san...about the Quincy Elders...if you mentioned that they had kidnapped a Quincy because she was a Seer, would that pique their interest of joining?"

" I'm sure it would. I can message a few of my contacts to see if I can get a hold of the North American branch. I don't know of any Quincies here that know of the Elders here in Japan but I ask." Travis said. He had a few names that were from around here and would ask around hoping to get a unified front put together. He knew if more of the Clans got together the better chance they all would have.

"That sounds like a good idea. The more help we have, the more chance we have to get Jessica and Rue out of that place. Though I have a feeling that Katniss-san will also want to come on this mission as well," Kisuke said.

Travis nodded." I let you know what I can come up with. I would gladly let Katniss help. " He said. He hoped his fellow Quincy were as willing to help him in this fight. " Would it be alright if I discussed this with another Quincy I know of. I've been meaning to talk to him since I arrived but both our schedules haven't allowed it. " Travis said. He wanted to talk to Ryuken Ishida about this hoping he knew how to contact the Japanese branch of the Elders.

Kisuke chuckled lightly. "It's a good thing you'd let her help. She wouldn't let you go without her," he said, wondering who he would want to talk to. He had an idea of who it was, but wasn't one hundred percent sure about it. Nevertheless, he gave Travis the go-ahead, trusting him.

" Thank you so much Urahara-San. " Travis said. He was glad this was going well. " How many of the Shinigami would be willing to work with Quincy?" Travis asked. He wasn't sure how many remembered that war and how many knew of it. He just wanted them to fight as a united front.

"I know Ichigo-kun and the others will help you, anyone else I'm not so sure about," Kisuke said.

Katniss yawned as she woke up, surprised that she slept for so long.

" I guess that's just a risk we'll need to take. Would it be possible for me to try to convince the other captains that Shinigami and Quincies can look past out differences long enough to take out our common enemy in the Vandenreich ?" Travis asked. He knew that everything rested on both sides resolving this 200 year old feud.

Kisuke nodded lightly, knowing that it was a risk that they all needed to take. He also sensed that Katniss was awake, glad that she had a good night's sleep as he heard Byakuya saying that he would bring it up at the next meeting. "Now then, why don't we break for now, since we all have ideas on what to do?" He asked.

" Sounds like a good plan, Captain. I thank you and Captain Unohana for meeting me today. I'm looking forward to working with you in the future." Travis said respectfully. He owed them a lot for protecting his family and he silently vowed to do what he could to bring peace to both the Quincy and the Shinigami.

Byakuya nodded his head back in a similar show of respect. He hoped that they could stop this before it ended in disaster for Hoshi, Katia, or any Shinigami.

" Would you like me to contact you once I get word from the council?" Travis asked. He wanted to get those calls in soon and also contact Ryuuken Ishida . He wanted to make some allies here knowing that soon they would need each other to keep those girls safe.

"That would be a good idea, Travis-san. I think that way Byakuya-san or Unohana-san can contact me, and I can help organize everything," Kisuke said as he saw both Unohana and Byakuya nod.

" Alright. How can I contact you?" Travis asked. He knew of a technique his father had used to communicate with others but wasn't sure if any one else knew of that technique.

"I have heard that the Quincies have a way of communication over long distances. If you could use that, I'd greatly appreciate it," Kisuke said, knowing that Byakuya or Unohana would send him a Hell's butterfly or send their lieutenants to tell them.

" We do have a technique. It's always been a safer way to communicate with others since they can't be listened into. I'll send you one once I do have some information. I must get going before it gets to late for my contacts. " Travis said and thanked Kisuke and the captains for having him here.

Kisuke thanked him in return for wanting to trust him with such information. As he left, he saw Katniss enter the room. "How are you feeling my dear?" he asked.

" Much better." Katniss said. She had felt some Captains here and also someone else and wondered what happened while she was asleep.

Travis headed back to the house he was renting and kept his guard up. He didn't want to be stopped before he sent those messages. He locked the door and went to the special room he had sealed off. He sent a message saying that he needed the Elders help in stopping the Vandenreich. He also mentioned Katia and said she was a Quincy with Seer powers and that the Vandenreich were after her because of that. He was glad when he was done since it always took a lot of effort to send such a message. He made a few phone calls , one to his wife and the other to Ryuuken Ishida. He hoped that he could get some help from the Japanese branch of the clan .

"I'm glad to hear that. Even if you're in the eleventh division, you still need to rest every once in a while," Kisuke replied. He noticed that she was sensing the others who had left just a few minutes ago. "Katniss-san?"
