" You are also here before Tetsu and the others but this will give us a chance to talk about how we can help Yuzu. " Kisuke said having a feeling that her powers had awoken.

"Oh?" Yuzu asked, curious now.

" Yep. Now let's head on in where we won't be heard. " Kisuke said feeling Kusaka had someone watching them.

"A good idea," Isshin responded as he, too, sensed that someone was watching them from afar.

The unnamed hollow was sitting somewhere out of sight but he was able to see the Kurosaki family. He needed to somehow distract them so he could bring the youngest to his master.

Tatsuki sighed lightly as she got up from the bed. She had passed out after training herself to the bone and then a little past it, trying to get stronger and more intune with her zanpakuto. Though Ryuenjin did warn her to be careful...

" Is Tatsuki here or at home?" Isshin asked hoping she was here.

"She's at home. She's been running herself ragged, and I think it's because she blames herself for letting Orihime get captured.

Ichigo sighed at that. "Ryu-chan's always been like that..."

Chad kept his guard up as he headed to Tatsuki's apartment and felt guilty. He had been in Mexico visiting family and had just got back feeling he should have been here in Karakura instead.

Tatsuki sighed lightly as she ate a light breakfast, still feeling bad about letting her friend get kidnapped like that. She was the self-proclaimed protector of Orihime and she had let the girl down... Hearing a knock on the door, she went to open it, surprised to see Chad standing in front of her. "Chad?" she asked.

" Hey. I'm sorry I haven't been here. But I want to be ready and help bring back Orihime. " Chad said feeling guilty he hadn't been here.

"You heard?" she asked.

"Ishida-kun texted me. He's as upset as I guessed and I have a feeling we'll be making a trip soon. " Chad said.

"It wouldn't surprise me. I'm gonna head to Kisuke's if you want to join me," Tatsuki said.

"I would like to. " Chad said and promised himself that he would train hard.

(my god do the Tampa Bay Buccaneers SUCK. 0-49 in the 3rd quarter)

"Then let's go," Tatsuki said.

( how does that happen? But I do agree that they do. )

Chad was glad that Tatsuki was going with him since he had a feeling they were being watched.

(I have no clue.)

An unnamed Arrancar was keeping an eye on Tatsuki, his boss saying that he wanted her captured alive.

Chad knew he had to keep his senses up and looked around. " We are being followed. Stay close and act casual. " He said glad there were a lot of people out today.

Tatsuki nodded and stayed close to the giant of a man. "So...did you enjoy your vacation?" she asked as she tried to hold a conversation. It was the only way she wouldn't try checking who, or what, was trying to follow them.

" I did. Got to see my cousins and even went to California to visit my Aunt Paloma. She works in Los Angeles as a costume designer. " Chad said.

"Sounds like fun. With an aunt like that, I'm surprised you don't cosplay," Tatsuki replied.

" Not really sure who to cosplay first but my aunt said she would help me. My cousin Rosa does cosplay and is pretty good at it." Chad said .

"oh?" Tatsuki asked.

" Here are some of her pictures. She's cosplayed Sailor Mars, Misaka from SNK , and several characters from Doctor Who and Once Upon a Time. " Chad said wondering if Tatsuki had seen those shows.
