Ishida nodded, knowing how it felt like to be considered lower than scum. It was a second reason that he had hated Shinigamis before he met Ichigo. The fact that they said something a prophecy though intrigued the Quincy. "I don't blame you for hating them for calling Seers lowly, I would have done the same thing if they said it about Quincies," Ishida said before he saw Ichigo and Tatsuki off in the distance.

Hoshi nodded, understanding what Ishida had said. She did hate those men who had said that about her. Hoshi noticed that Ichigo and Tatsuki had entered the school grounds and waved when they were close.

" Morning you two . " Hoshi said with a small smile. She wondered if she should tell Ichigo what she had told Ishida. She decided she would , but she would wait till later.

"Morning," both Tatsuki and Ichigo said at the same time.

Hoshi giggled a little bit. She saw Orihime and Chad come toward them and wondered if Ichigo would tell them about the Bount. Hoshi didnt want to be a part of anything the Bount had planned, she would fight as hard as she could to keep herself and her friends safe.

Hoshi shook her head no ,as well as Chad and Orihime. The bell rang and they all headed to class. Sitting down Hoshi handed in her homework and took notes . She hoped someone would walk with her to school. The bell rang and she grabbed her lunch . The rain had stopped earlier and she headed to the roof with the others.

Hoshi sat down and got her sandwich out. She had her mind on what happened on the way to school and ate her sandwich.She wondered how many people did know about what powers Seers had she hoped someday to find out.

(sorry for taking so long today. Traffic was chaotic...)

Tatsuki wondered what was on Hoshi's mind and sat down next to her before taking out her own sandwich.

( Thats alright. )

Hoshi was startled when Tatsuki sat next to her ." Sorry about that Tatsu.I didn't see you there."Hoshi said ,feeling embarressed.

" I'll be alright .I was called a lowly Seer by the two that have been following me. I overheard the conversation they had. What they said made me wonder about the Seers and why they would be considered lowly." Hoshi said in a whisper.

Hoshi gave a small smile when Tatsuki said that. "Thank you Tatsu. You think I should tell my dad about being followed?" Hoshi didn't know how her dad would react to the news.


Tetsu had gotten the message from Urahara about the Bount. He also was told about the battle that had went on with them. He agreed to keep an eye out for any unusual activity. " I wonder if that's why Hoshi has been so tense lately. I want to help as much as I can ."Tetsu thought to himself as he went back to his office.

Ichigo ate his sandwich in silence, hoping that nothing would happen while they were at school.

Isshin got the message about the Bount from Urahara and frowned lightly, not liking the situation one bit. He remembered what happened last time and would prepare for anything that would be out of ordinary.

The bell rang and Hoshi and the others went back to class .She finished her homework during study hall. Once the day had ended she waited for the others.

Chad waited outside of the school building for Hoshi after school let out, Ichigo saying that she wanted to ask him something.

Ichigo heard the bell ring and headed back inside for the rest of the school day. He wondered why he bothered listening to this half the time since he knew what his job would already be: a Soul Reaper. Of course he didn't say that out loud and still studied. Once class let out for the day, he headed towards the door with Ishida, Tatsuki and Hoshi.

Hoshi asked Chad if it was alright he would walk with her to school . She was glad that he said he would . Hoshi still wanted to be a teacher, even if she was a Shinigami. She knew that she had to maintain a normal life here in the living world. She often wondered what it was like in Soul Society and to be a part of the Gotei 13. She kept close to her friends as they walked.

The Bount watched them for a few minutes before vanishing, not wanting to know if the young man wearing glasses could see them or not.

Hoshi hoped that nothing would happen as they walked. She didn't know that they were being watched for those few minutes. They continued to walk .

Ishida kept an eye on the spot for a few more minutes before turning around. After a while, he bade them farewell as he turned off the main path that everyone was taking and headed down a side street that would take him to his house. His danger sense was screaming at him to move and he did, as metal rained down upon where he was standing just a few minutes ago.

Drawing out his pentacle, he focused spirit energy into it as his bow came to life.

They stopped at a park and sat down at a bench. Hoshi hoped that nothing bad would happen while they were here.

Ishida jumped out of the way of another metal rain attack and shot several arrows in retaliation, relying on his senses to guide his shots. Luckily he couldn't run out of ammo, but he had a feeling that the Bount he was fighting was the same way. Interesting...a duel of attrition he thought to himself before hearing a shout of pain after firing to the left.

Tatsuki noticed that Hoshi was still worried about what happened earlier today and didn't blame her. She just hoped that she could do something to help.
