Elva took Hoshi's hand and grinned lightly before heading down the stairs with her.

Hoshi watched the reunion between the two siblings." I'll let you guys have some time togeather . I'll be outside with the others if you need me.." Hoshi said . She knew her dad was still in the house and she went outside .

Elva saw her brother and ran towards him before hugging him. "Vince-nii-san!" Elva said happily. Out of the corner, she saw Hoshi leave and head outside, silently thanking her for giving them private time.

Ichigo saw Hoshi coming outside and hoped that everything was okay. Making his way towards her, he asked what was going on.

" I'm letting Vincent and Elva have some time together." Hoshi said.

Hoshi was feeling sad that soon Elva would have to leave. She was happy her friend would find peace, but still would miss Elva very much. She went over the things she had to do tomorrow. She had to finish her homework and copy her notes for Ishida , hoping she was able to visit him tomorrow afternoon. She only did this so she wouldn't cry.

Ichigo would miss Elva as well, knowing that Hoshi would feel bad about another one of her friends leaving her for Soul Society. He didn't want to mention the false hope of her possibly returning for a visit if she went into the Academy.

Tatsuki ignored the battle-loving captain and headed over to her friends, knowing that Hoshi wasn't liking the fact that Elva would most likely be leaving soon. The martial artist wished that she could do something to help her cope with the pain of loosing another friend, seeing as Asami left with the other captains.

Hoshi was glad her friends were here . She knew they would help her as much as they could. Hoshi wondered what would become of Elva once she had went to Soul Society. She often had the same thoughts about her grandmother and her mom. She wiped her eyes at the thought and waited for Elva and Vincent.

Elva and Vincent talked for a long time, catching up on several things. After they talked about everything they could talk about, Vincent sighed lightly, not wanting his Imouto to go, even though he knew she had to, otherwise she would turn into a Hollow eventually. Both he and Elva knew this, but at the same time it was hard for the pair to part ways.

Elva had tears lightly running down her face, but she knew that she would see him again, someday. One part of her wanted that day to be soon, while the other part of her wanted it to happen a long time from now. She gave and received one final hug from her brother and whispered "Sayonara" into his ear before heading outside to see Hoshi and the others. Gathering her courage, she asked Hoshi to send her to Soul Society.

Hoshi nodded and gave Elva one last hug. " I'm glad I met you Elva-chan. " Hoshi said before unsheathing her zanpaktou and preforming the konso, with tears in her eyes. She hoped Elva would be alright.

"I'm glad to have met you too Star-chan," Elva said as she gave Hoshi one last hug, hoping that the girl didn't mind her using her nickname. Elva closed her eyes as she saw Hoshi draw her blade, a small amount of tears coming down on Elva's face. She felt the Konso take place before feeling nothing.

Hoshi smiled that Elva had used her nickname and went to her friends. She knew she would miss her friend Elva.

Hoshi waved goodbye to Captain Hitsugaya as he left with the other captains. She had a feeling though she would be seeing them again soon for some strange reason.
( Timeskip a few days ahead? And start a new arc?)

(You're reading my mind. Where's the hidden camera?! *starts looking*)

Toushiro waved goodbye to the trio, knowing that the three would be okay for the time being.

( nope not reading your mind. )

The next few days went quickly. Hoshi visited Ishida that Sunday and told him what had happened. She knew Orihime had told him earlier , but he had asked her what had happened. The Wednesday after the battle , Hoshi woke up as usual to get ready for school, glad that her dad would be home that evening. She missed Elva very much and hoped her friend was alright. Hoshi got dressed after her shower and put her hair in a ponytail, before heading down

She made some toast and put her bento box in her school bag, having made her lunch the night before. She looked at the clock and grabbed her bag heading out the door . She sat on the usual bench as she waited for her friends, hoping that the strange feeling she had would go away.

(lol kk)

Ichigo noticed that the next couple of days went by quickly enough and that life soon returned to normal. Ishida was still in the hospital for one more week before his father would safely discharge him, but other than that, Tatsuki himself and Hoshi returned to a normal-like existence for the three of them. Even though he knew that Hoshi missed Elva-chan, it seemed to Ichigo that Hoshi was coping with sending the girl to Soul Society.

Heading downstairs, he grabbed a quick bite to eat for breakfast and grabbed his school bag by the door, his lunch made yesterday was already in his bag. Once out the door, he locked it seeing as he was the last one to leave the personal side of the Clinic before meeting up with both Tatsuki and then Hoshi.

Hoshi was talking with Tatsuki and Orihime when the bell rang and headed to class, still feeling like something was going to happen soon. She sat down in her seat getting out her homework to pass it to the front. " Why do I have the feeling I'll be seeing the Shinigami again ? Does it have to do with the dreams I have been having?" Hoshi thought as she took notes of the lecture.

Hoshi was glad when the bell rang for lunch and grabbed her lunch of rice and a hard boiled egg. She waited for her friends in the hall . She was wondering why Keigo was bugging Ichigo, but figured it would be a bad idea to know. She wished she could shake the feeling she had and rubbed her eyes, feeling a headache coming on.

" I feel a headache coming on. It might just be tension or because I read in bad lighting. " Hoshi said heading to the roof ,hoping it was just those things. She didn't want to know what Keigo had been bugging Ichigo about.

" I will. " Hoshi said as she sat down and opened her box. She hoped eating something would help. She had leftover rice and hard boiled egg with the vegetables she had saved from her dinner last night and started eating.
