Hoshi got the spare bed that she had in her closet and put it on the floor for Elva, making sure everything was neat." I hope you sleep well tonight. If you need me , don't hesitate to wake me up. " She said and got her pajamas on .

"Are you sure? Don't you need your sleep?" Elva asked after she heard Hoshi speak. She was acting a lot like her brother, not like the stepmother they had before. She still remembered some of the bruises that she was given from that woman.

" I do , but I'll be fine. " Hoshi said setting her alarm and getting into bed,not minding getting up knowing Elva needed her. Hoshi was used to waking up in the middle of the night since her dreams often woke her up or when she was needed to fight hollows. " Tomorrow you'll meet my other friends. " Hoshi said , hoping that things would go well when she met the others.

"As long as you're sure," Elva said as she noticed her setting up the alarm clock and getting into her bed. She slowly drifted off to sleep, hoping that any of her dreams/nightmares woke Hoshi up.

Hoshi fell asleep. She dreamed again about the forest path , knowing it wasn't the one that led to the Bount. Hoshi walked down it a ways she heard voices in the distance and woke up. She sat there in bed trying to figure out what the dream meant. She went back to sleep hoping she wouldn't dream again.

Elva fell asleep quickly, actually surprised by the softness of the futon. After running from the Hollows, it was a nice change of pace to actually fall asleep for once without having to wake up on a hair trigger. She was so tired that she didn't dream for once.

Hoshi woke up again when her alarm sounded and shut it off. She took her shower and then wiped herself off. She then got into her uniform and made her bed. She then brushed her hair and put it in a ponytail. She didn't like it when her hair got in the way." Morning Elva-chan. How did you sleep last night?"

Elva heard the alarm going off and yawned lightly, still a little sleepy. Then again, she wasn't much of a morning person and continued to wake up while Hoshi took her shower. She was still rubbing her eyes while Hoshi was getting dressed and only fully woke up once she started talking. "Morning Hoshi-chan. I slept pretty well, thanks for asking. What about you?" she asked, covering her mouth with a hand as she yawned lightly.

" I slept good. Thank you. Are you ready to meet the others today? ." Hoshi asked Elva and grabbed her school bag." We better get some breakfast before Captain Hitsugaya arrives ." Hoshi said and headed to the stairs wondering how the others would react to Elva.

"That's good," Elva said as she followed Hoshi down the stairs. She wasn't sure about this "Captain Hitsugaya" but if Hoshi trusted him then she would at least give this person a chance.

Hoshi had cereal and then made a sandwich for her lunch. She put it in her school bag and waited in the living room. " Elva-chan? How old are you and your brother?" Hoshi asked wondering.She hoped it was alright that she asked.

Elva watched her do the normal tasks that she used to do before she was killed. Hearing Hoshi's question she smiled lightly. "I may not look it, but I'm thirteen and my brother should be around eighteen or nineteen," Elva said answering the question. She heard a knock at the door and went invisible, not knowing who it was.

" Really?" Hoshi said and looked out the door." Captain Hitsugaya is here . Ready?" Hoshi said to her new friend grabbing her school bag and opened the door." Morning Captain." Hoshi said with a smile and waited for Elva.

Elva nodded to both questions, but was ready to turn invisible at a moment's notice if this Hitsugaya person wasn't friendly or tried sending her away.

"Morning Hoshi-san," Toushiro said as he saw Elva next to Hoshi and raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

Hoshi shut the door and locked it once Elva was outside." Captain this is Elva. Elva this Captain Hitsugaya. He's one of the allies Ichigo mentioned yesterday." She said introducing the two, knowing she would have to explain how she met Elva soon.

"N-Nice to meet you," Elva said nervously, feeling the immense amount of reiatsu the young captain held. She knew that she could trust him, but she was still a little scared around him.

"Nice to meet you Elva-san," Toushiro replied, noticing how nervous she was acting. Turning to Hoshi, he then teased her by saying that young female spirits just tended to flock to her.

Hoshi blushed a little bit and smiled a little. She knew the younger spirits felt comfortable around her. Hoshi knew this was because she was only 8 years old when she first started seeing ghosts. She hoped Elva would be alright, noticing her friend's nervousness.

Elva giggled lightly and wondered if that was why she felt calm around her, even though she was also a Shinigami. She noticed that the Captain's reiatsu lowered lightly and she didn't feel as nervous around him all that much now either. "I don't think it's that actually..." Elva spoke up.

"Oh?" Toushiro asked in genuine curiosity.

"I think it's because her reiatsu has a sense of calm around it. Yours does too, now that you lowered it Hitsugaya-taichou" she said, causing the captain to blush lightly.

Hoshi blushed a little bit too. She didn't think of herself as a calm person. Since she worried about things a little too much at times.

Toushiro didn't see himself as calm either, especially since he always had to deal with Matsumoto. There was also his childhood friend as well. He was just glad that what happened with Aizen didn't effect her as much as he thought it would. "Are you ready to head out Hoshi-san?" he asked.

" I'm ready. You ready Elva-chan?" Hoshi said with a smile. She hoped things went well today.

Elva nodded. "I'm ready," she said and hoped that Ichigo and Hoshi's friends were okay with her presence.

Hoshi walked toward the school and had her guard up. She thought about what she would tell the others about yesterday. Hoshi also wondered what the reaction would be when she said Elva and her brother were Seers. They arrived at the school and Hoshi sat on the bench . " I hope Ishida's reaction to Elva isn't like the one he gave me at first. I wonder if it had to do with me being a Seer?"Hoshi thought .

Elva walked in silence next to the two, hoping that she wasn't disturbing anything. She just wished that no one would hate her or her brother for being a Seer...or that the Bount were using her brother.

" You alright Elva-chan?" Hoshi said quietly , when she noticed the worried look on her young friend's face.
