Hoshi finished working on the ropes on his wrists and then went to work on the ones at his ankles. She kept her guard up and knew Captain Hitsugaya was still in the other room. She didn't know how Vincent would react to the Shinigami or to Junko when he got out of the room.

Vincent felt the ropes around his arms go slack and moved them in front of his body, slowly trying to get feeling back into them, especially since they were numb for so long. He knew that there was at least one Shinigami outside of the room, but decided to give Hoshi this one benefit of the doubt and waited for her to say something about it.

" I should warn you before we head out to the other room. There is a Shinigami there but you can trust Captain Hitsugaya. There also is a Bount still alive but she helped us find you. I promised to get her help with her injuries if she would help us find you. " Hoshi explained as she finished undoing his feet. " Do you need help out of the chair? " Hoshi asked.

Vincent was intrigued by the fact that there was both a shinigami and a Bount outside the area and yet they didn't seem to be fighting. Granted Hoshi said that the Bount was only alive because of the partnership this female Bount had with the girl behind him. "I'll trust in your judgement when it comes to Hitsugaya-san, but I'm not sure about the female Bount. What is her name?" he asked out of curiosity as he put weight on his feet and started to stand. Since his feet and legs weren't use to standing in a while, he did lose his balance, but he caught himself before hitting the floor. He tried again once he stood upright and slowly took a step. Carefully experimenting by putting his whole weight down on it, he wobbled for a few seconds but continued to stand.

" Her name is Junko Harada. " Hoshi said and wondered if the other captains were still outside. " Take my shoulder. I can help you until you get your balance back ." Hoshi said, knowing Vincent was taller than her. She still wanted to help him.

Vincent was about to protest but then thought better of it as he took her shoulder lightly, not wanting to hurt her accidentally. "Junko Harada..." he said, trying to think if that name was associated with any of the Bount that tried making him speak of his visions but came up blank. "I don't believe she tried getting me to speak of my visions like the others, so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt...for now," he said as she helped him out of his prison.

Hoshi moved carefully out of the room. " We're almost out of the room. " Hoshi said. She wondered if the captains had headed back to Soul Society by now. She still wanted to see it for herself someday. She knew eventually she would have to go there, but assumed it would be a while before she was able to go.

Junko waited with Captain Hitsugaya for Hoshi to come out of the room with Vincent. She just hoped that he wouldn't have a grudge against her. She would get answer soon as she saw both Hoshi and Vincent heading outside of the room, Vincent's hand on Hoshi's shoulder, most likely for balance.

Hoshi moved carefully so Vincent would be able to regain his balance . She introduced him to Captain Histugaya and to Junko. She wanted Vincent to feel safe.

Vincent thanked Hoshi stating that he had regained most of his balance by that point in time, as well as to introducing him to both Junko and Captain Hitsugaya. Seeing that there was no ill intent coming from either Junko or the captain's body language, Vincent relaxed just a little around them.

They headed down the stairs and Hoshi kept her guard up. She could sense her friends and a few of the Captains still outside. She was glad that Vincent was safe.

(gomen gomen (Sorry in japanese if you didn't know) , was reading fanfiction that hasn't been updated in forever)

Tatsuki waited for Hoshi and the others, hoping that Vincent would be alright.

(that's alright. I know a little bit of japanese, but not very much really. )

Hoshi was glad to be back outside and saw that it was getting dark. She knew Elva would be glad to see her brother again. She was sad that then Elva would be ready to pass on.

(nice. Didn't know if you knew what it meant or not)

Ichigo saw Hoshi, Junko and Toushiro come outside. He saw what he assumed to be Vincent tense up lightly when he saw the various shinigami.

Hoshi introduced Vincent to the others and hoped he wasn't afraid. She sensed a few captains , but didn't see them." Are you ready to see your sister?" She asked Vincent .

After Vincent heard the introduction of Ichigo and Tatsuki, he agreed to wanting to see his sister.

Hoshi led Vincent toward her house knowing the others would follow them. She couldn't wait to see the look on Elva's face when she saw her brother.

" I'll be right back. " Hoshi said before heading up the stairs. " Elva-chan. Someone downstairs is here to see you. " Hoshi said with a smile.

Elva heard Hoshi enter her home and heard her come up the steps. Hearing what was said, she hoped that it was her brother. "Y-You rescued...," Elva started to say.

" Hoshi nodded. " Vincent is downstairs waiting for you." Hoshi said with a small smile.

"H-he is?!" Elva exclaimed. Seeing Hoshi nod lightly, Elva hugged her enthusiastically. "Thank you Hoshi-chan, thank you so much," she said before starting to ask several questions, making sure that her older brother was okay.

" You are welcome. I promised you I would help rescue him." Hoshi giving the girl a hug too. " He's doing well now. He did have trouble standing up , but I helped him until he got his balance back. Ready to go down to see him?" Hoshi asked. She would stay in her shinigami form a little bit longer in case Elva was ready to pass on tonight. Though she would understand if Elva wanted a little more time with her brother.

Elva nodded, tears of happiness starting to form at the corners of her eyes. She let go of the hug and wiped her eyes lightly. "Still...thank you," she said. "and I want to see him," she said noticing that Hoshi was still in Shinigami form, assuming that she would send her to Soul Society if she asked her to do so, although she wasn't sure if she wanted to stay an extra day with him or not just yet.

" Let's head down then." Hoshi said offering her hand . Hoshi was glad to see Elva happy.
