Ichigo said that it was no problem. Seeing her father come inside, he grinned lightly and responded with the same words given to him. "Any news we should know about on the Bount?" He then asked out of curiosity.
"Ichigo, he just got home from work, give him a break," Tatsuki said in a scolding manner, getting a small laugh out of Tetsu. |
" It's alright. Haven't heard anything new today. But I'll let all of you know when I do." Tetsu said.
|
"Alright, thank you all the same," Ichigo said in a respective tone.
|
" Hope to see you on Saturday. " Tetsu said as he went to his office .
" See you guys tomorrow. " Hoshi said with a smile. " I had a great time this afternoon." |
"We did too, Star-chan," Ichigo said as he noticed that it was starting to get late. "We'll see you tomorrow then," he said as both Ichigo and Tatsuki headed out of her home.
|
Hoshi waved as they left. Later in the evening she got ready for bed and set her school bag on her desk chair. Hoshi dreamed about the forest again. She walked up the path ,still not knowing where she was. Hoshi heard voices heading toward her and she woke up with same feeling as last night. She fell back asleep and didn't wake till her alarm rang.
Hoshi got dressed after getting out out of the shower and grabbed her bag before heading down. She made her lunch and ate some cereal, before waiting for either Chad or Captain Hitsugaya to arrive. |
Tatsuki thanked Ichigo for taking her back home, even if she didn't like the idea of having a bodyguard every time she went outside. She knew that it was necessary, but that didn't mean she had to like it. Once inside her apartment she got things ready for school before heading to bed, noticing that Asami was sleeping on the couch. She assumed that she was doing a Hollow Patrol and let her body sleep before heading to bed herself.
Getting up the next morning, she grabbed her bag after doing her normal morning routine. Making a quick lunch for herself, she made a mental checklist as she waited for Ichigo. |
Hoshi sat in a chair and was thinking about the dream she had last night. It felt like a separate dream, but in the same location. She snapped out her thoughts when she heard the doorbell.
|
Hitsugaya was standing in front of Hoshi's door, waiting for her to answer it after ringing the doorbell.
|
"Morning Captain . I hope I didn't keep you waiting ." Hoshi said with a smile .as she finished locking the door .
|
"Not at all," he replied as he stood there with his bag over his shoulder. He didn't like the fact that he was the only one who could pass a student with them, but he didn't voice his displeasure.
|
Hoshi kept her guard up as she walked toward the school, sensing something was h off. She couldn't tell if Hitsugaya sensed it too, so she decided not to say anything unless asked.
|
Hitsugaya scowled, thinking that he dealt with the person that was tailing him earlier. "You sense that?" he asked.
|
" I do." Hoshi said in a low voice. She had the feeling they were being followed and was glad they were almost to the school.
|
"Are you able to use your powers while still in human form?" He asked. If she could, then they could easily confuse him or her into thinking of something else. He knew they were near the school, but he didn't know if they would attack the school or not and didn't want to risk it.
|
" As far as I know I can't " Hoshi said in a whisper.
|
"Alright. Keep heading to the school as if nothing is happening, just let me know if I'm about to walk into something, off the sidewalk or we're at school," he said before closing his eyes and focusing on his powers and where the person following them was. Once finding the person, he focused more on his powers to make the water and air molecules around the individual get colder. He wasn't going to check to see if it worked, but in theory, the person would be encased in ice.
|
Hoshi did as she was told and made sure Captain Hitsugaya didn't run into anything.
|
A small boy was following them. However, this was no ordinary small boy and was actually a Bount and was told to keep an eye on one of the girls. Seeing that Ichigo was too strong and physical, he decided on working on the bodyguard of Hoshi, knowing that his Doll could negate whatever powers the Captain could throw at him. The only problem was that he couldn't use his doll for long periods of time since it was a doll that used true fire.
He noticed them starting to talk in hushed tones and assumed that they were talking about school related topics before he felt the air around him starting to get colder. Not risking the side effects of using his doll, he pulled the jacket that he wore closer to him. However, that didn't help as soon, the air around him got even colder before small molecules of ice started to form around him. Before he could do anything to stop it, it was too late: He was frozen solid. |
" Captain , we're at school now ." Hoshi said when they arrived .
|
Toshiro opened his eyes once she said that and thanked her for letting him know. He noticed that no one was around, but that was normal, seeing as Hoshi usually got here earlier than the others. "Um...if you don't mind me asking, you have any strange dreams last night?" He asked. If she didn't want to answer, then he wouldn't push the subject.
|
"It is alright . I did have a strange dream and it was the same one I had the night before ."Hoshi said once she had sat on the bench.
|
Toushiro nodded and sat down next to her. He wondered what the dream meant and was tempted to ask Hoshi, but he had a feeling that the girl didn't know either.
|
Hoshi sat on the bench and waved when she saw Ichigo and the others arrive. She wished she knew what the dream could mean.
|
Chad and the others waved back.
"Why do I have a feeling that both of us were followed today?" Tatsuki asked. |
