Toushiro blushed lightly at what Hoshi said. "You do?"

Hoshi nodded and gave a smile. " I have a feeling you feel the same way about me. " She said after a while. Hoshi hoped she was right ,since this was something new to her.

"How did you know?" Toushiro asked, surprised. He was glad that Hoshi said that he liked him, and glad that she returned the feelings that he had for her.

" Just a feeling I guess. You looked as nervous as I was feeling so I assumed you were feeling the same way I was." Hoshi said with a small smile. She was happy that she was right about how he felt.

Toushiro smiled, glad that Hoshi had the same feelings for him that he did for her. "Thanks Hoshi-chan," he said, although he didn't know what to do from here. He had given ideas to Tetsu, but that's all they were.

" Would you like to talk for a while?" Hoshi said hoping that Toshiro wanted to talk. " I hope it's okay if I call you Toshiro-San. " She added with a smile.

Toshirou chuckled lightly at that, knowing that he usually got annoyed when people called him by his first name. "I'll allow it, Hoshi-chan," he replied before agreeing to her question.

" What sort of things do you like? " Hoshi said. She really didn't know much about Toshiro-San, and hoped to learn more.She wanted this relationship to work , even if they did live in separate worlds.

"Several things actually. It probably wouldn't be a surprise if I said I liked Autumn and Winter," Toshiro said with a small chuckle as he told her more about his likes, including her as well.

" I like spring and fall the most. Summer is okay but I like seeing when the leaves start to grow on the trees and when they change color. " Hoshi said and talked about a few things she liked. " I also like to draw and dad said he would teach me and Katia how to improve what we already know. " Hoshi said. She was glad her dad had liked his gifts and was sketching things again.

Setsuna was worried as she wrote the check and put it in an envelope. She had to get the key put of her shop before the Grimm got suspicious of her. First she needed to talk to Kisuke about the box. She dialed the shop and hoped he could help her.

"Spring I'm okay with, but I don't like the Summer months all that much. It may be because I'm an ice type, but I'm not sure. Although I didn't know you liked to draw," Toushiro said with surprise.

Kisuke heard the phone ringing and went to pick it up. "Urahara Kisuke speaking," he said.

" I've always liked drawing, ever since I was a little girl. I'm not very good, but my dad is going to help me improve on it.." Hoshi said with a smile.

" Hello Kisuke-san. This is Setsuna. I have a question I need to ask you. How do you send an object that could change the way things are in the world without a certain group finding it?" She asked hoping he could help.

"Then I cannot wait to see one of your drawings," Toushiro responded. He was glad that he had taken the day off, even if he knew that the paperwork would be waiting for him when he got back. Though he would worry about it then, before a thought came to him making him sigh lightly.

"What are you talking about?" he asked, alarmed.

" Is everything alright?" Hoshi asked. She was enjoying this time with Toshiro and hoped that they would have more times like this. She knew it might not be very often, but Hoshi had a good feeling about this relationship.


" Remember I said something earlier today about meeting someone? Well I did meet with him and I feel this the might be wanting to spy on us. Have you heard about a human group called the Grimm?" Setsuna asked.

"Sorry, it's just that I know how my lieutenant acts," Toushiro said while shaking his head lightly.

"I remember you saying about that," Kisuke said before scowling lightly, knowing who the Grimm were. While he knew that they would help fight against monsters that they call Vesen, they were also looking for two keys out of the seven that they had. If she had one of the Seven Grimm Keys...

"You're still at your Aunt's shop, correct?" he asked, hoping that she was. If so, he could be able to help her.

" Oh. " Hoshi said. " Do you like watermelon at all? Dad wants to plant it again since buying it in the store gets expensive. " Hoshi said after a while of thinking.

" I am still at the shop. I need to get the key to my father. I know he'll be able to reseal the box , since the current seal is weakening. My aunt told me that the key should never leave the protection of the Quincy. " Setsuna said. " I also bought a necklace that I have an odd feeling about. I'll give it to you when it arrives, since it might be used as a spying tool. " She added.

Toushiro nodded. "It's actually one of my favorite fruits," he admitted.

"Alright. I'll be there in fifteen minutes," he said before hanging up the phone. He was worried about Setsu, especially since he knew that the Grimms, and the Royals, would do anything to get those keys.

" It is? I like them too. Bananas are another favorite of mine. " Hoshi said with a smile.


Setsuna hoped Kisuke could help her. She had the small box in the safe but the box looked like a solid cube. The box was camouflaged by a high level protection seal that only a few people could open.

"Really now? I didn't know that..." Toushiro said as he said that he never tried one, at least, not that he knew of. That didn't mean he wouldn't try one.

Kisuke left the shop and hurried towards Setsuna's shop, knowing exactly where it was since he helped her aunt finance the shop. Shaking his head before getting lost in the memories, he quickly made his way towards the shop knowing that time was of the essence.

" Yep. I like them on oatmeal and on peanut butter sandwiches.Though I also like honey with it to make it a little sweet. " Hoshi said with a smile.

Setsuna was glad to sense Kisuke getting closer, since she was getting worried. The meeting with the Grimm had scared her, and she feared they wanted something from the spirit world. She had heard of the Vesen and had even met some, not understanding why the Grimm killed the. She felt what the Grimm did was like how the Quincy had been hunted by the Shinigami .

"That sounds like something Orihime would like," Toushiro said, chuckling lightly.

A few seconds later, Kisuke saw Setsuna's shop in the distance and made his way towards the front door of the shop. Not knowing if it was okay to use the personal entrance like he did in the past, he walked inside. "Setsu-chan?" he asked.

" It does doesn't it?" Hoshi said with a laugh. " I like a lot of the American foods my dad makes. He's taught me and Katia how to make some of them. " Hoshi said and thought about Katia. She was happy to know her cousins now and wished she would have know them when she was younger.


" I'm here. Sorry. I'm still lost in thought. Here is the box I told you about. " She said and put the box on the table. She could feel the seal getting weaker and was starting to worry.

"That actually sounds interesting," Toushiro said surprised.

Kisuke could feel the great seal that was holding something at bay, though didn't know what was inside it. "And the necklace?" he asked, having an idea that it should probably be taken out first, just as a precaution to what she was hiding in there. He had an idea of what was sealed, but didn't want to ask, just in case.

" I don't have the necklace yet. It will be delivered in 2 days. I don't know why the Grimm want to know about Karakura so badly. Normally they avoid the spiritual side of things. " Setsuna said.

"I don't know either. From what I've heard about the Grimm, they usually let us do what we want, and we let them do what they want. Why they would be worried about Soul Society is anyone's guess, though I have a feeling it has to do with the missing key. Speaking of which, why does your family have one of the keys Setsu-chan?" Kisuke asked, curious.
