Hoshi waited with Elva for Ichigo. " You alright Elva-chan?" She said to her young friend.

" Thank you." Urahara said . He had noticed that Elva had wanted to say something ,but didn't and hoped she would tell him what was bothering her on Saturday.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking though," Elva said as they waited for Ichigo.

" You are welcome Elva-chan. " Hoshi said with a small smile.

" They did . Though Orihime said she was going to check on Ishida-kun first. " Hoshi said, hoping he was alright and not hurt. " Dad texted me that he's going to be out of town for a few days. Orihime said I could stay with her until he got back. "Hoshi said as they walked toward her house. She hated to impose on a friend on such short notice.

" See you tomorrow Ichigo." Hoshi said . She was thinking it might be better if she stayed by herself for the few days her dad was gone, only because Hoshi didn't want any one to get hurt in case she got attacked. Hoshi knew she would be fine, if she stayed inside the house.

Hoshi went inside and got changed into casual clothes.Hoshi sat down at the small table and invited Elva to sit down." I promised I'd tell you what I meant when I asked if Seers could see ghosts. My Grandma Fumi and my mom were both Seers. I didn't know either of them were until I was 16." Hoshi said.

(*growls* Damnit Fiona! Sorry, Burn Notice reaction over)

Elva was surprised. "You didn't know your mother or grandmother until you were sixteen?" she asked out of shock.

" I knew them. I meant I didn't know they were Seers until then.My mom died when I was eight years old. I took her death very hard and I worried my dad a lot. We moved from Karakura , because he was worried about me and my safety. My grandma visited us every summer ,up until the time my dad and I moved back here almost two years ago. That's when I found out my mom was a Seer and my dad a Shinigami. Though, I don't think my mom knew he was one , but I have a feeling my grandma did know. " Hoshi said solemnly, missing her grandma and her mom very much.

Elva listened as Hoshi told her story and was surprised that she was telling her about this. Once Hoshi was done, she was surprised to learn that her friend's father was a shinigami as well.

" I'm sorry to unload on you Elva-chan. I do wonder about a lot of things. My grandma told me shortly before she died that I had a cousin close in age to me. My mom had an older sister that I never did meet . I don't know if she's still alive or if my cousin is a boy or girl. I knew it was difficult for my grandma to tell me that information and she was very sick. I hoped I would have found pictures of my cousin in my grandma's things but I didn't. I apologize again for unloading all this on you. " Hoshi said sadly to her friend, but knew she could trust Elva with this. Hoshi had only told Ichigo, Tatsuki and Asami about what her grandma told her that night at the hospital. Hoshi had a feeling she would meet her cousin someday.

"You don't have to apologize Hoshi-chan," Elva said. Even if she didn't completely understand, she knew what it was like to keep secrets from someone...although in her opinion it seemed a bit cruel for her grandmother to tell Hoshi about her cousin right before she died, but didn't think it was right for her to say that. However, she made a silent vow to herself that when she got to Soul Society that she would try to locate Hoshi's grandmother and get any information she could out of the elderly lady. Perhaps then she could help Hoshi find this mysterious cousin of hers.

" Want to watch me make dinner? It's just going to be us tonight, but dad will be home tomorrow." Hoshi said with a small smile.

Elva nodded. "As long as you're okay with me watching. I don't want to intrude."

" I'm okay with you watching me . I like having the company." Hoshi said with a smile as she went down the stairs. " What sort of foods did you like when you were alive? " Hoshi asked as she started to make some rice for her dinner.

"Alright," Elva said before ginning a little. "I wasn't really a picky eater, so I was okay with just about anything. Although I loved apples, bananas and anything that was sweet," she said.

" I like those fruits too. Though I don't like pears very much. " Hoshi said as she got a bowl out for the rice. Hoshi got the rice out of the ricemaker and sat at the table to eat. " Elva-chan have you ever had the same dream more than once before ? " Hoshi asked suddenly. She was bothered that she had been having the dream about the forest for three nights in a row and wanted to know what it meant.

"Sometimes, why do you ask?" Elva asked out of curiosity. The only reason that a vision repeated itself was if it had to do with the Seer him or herself, or another seer that the person having the dream was close to.

" Recently I've been having dreams that repeat every night. The latest one is me in a forest somewhere. I feel safe there and it seems a little familiar. I walk down the path a ways and always wake up when I hear voices in the distance. " Hoshi said.

"But you don't know who's talking and why you are there in the first place, right?" Elva asked.

" Right. It's always the same voices too." Hoshi said as she finished up her dinner. " I hope I do find out who the people are." She said .

Elva nodded lightly. She wished she could help, but unless she saw the vision from a different point of view, she couldn't help. "I hope you do too," she said, yawning lightly.

" Are you ready for bed Elva-chan?" Hoshi said cleaning out her bowl. She was feeling tired too.
