"Likewise Soji-san," Katia said with a light grin on her face. She hoped that she would run into him again. 'I wonder... she thought before jumping lightly as Hoshi asked her who was that from behind. "Hoshi-chan, don't scare me like that!"

" I am sorry. " Hoshi said feeling embarrassed. She hadn't thought Katia was distracted but still wondered who the new Shinigami was.

"It's alright. I shouldn't have left you like that," she said as she noticed Hoshi looking towards the new shinigami.

" Who is he?" Hoshi asked and hoped he was nice. She really wanted her cousin to be happy.

"His name is Soji. He was very nice," Hoshi responded.

( you meant Katia right?)

(erm...yeah)

( okay sorry about that. )

" I'm glad he was nice Katia-chan. We should head to breakfast soon and maybe we can talk to Rukia-San about our dreams. " Hoshi said.

"Good idea. Hopefully our fukutaichou can talk to Taichou for us," Katia added.

" I hope so too. " Hoshi said as they walked toward the mess hall.

(You're free to have Hoshi tease Katia)

Katia followed her into the mess hall.

" I have a feeling you like Soji-San. " Hoshi said lightly teasing her cousin.

Katia blushed lightly. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

" I think you will soon." Hoshi said and gave a grin.

"You're not going to stop teasing me about this, are you?" Katia asked

" Nope. Unless you want me to that is." Hoshi said.

"Then please stop," Katia responded as she opened the doors.

Hoshi nodded and looked around for Rukia. She knew that soon the battle would start and was feeling very tense.

Rukia waved her hand as she saw Katia and Hoshi.

" Rukia-san. We need to tell you something. " Hoshi said and told about the dream both Katia and herself had the night before.

Rukia listened to the two tell her about the dream vision that they shared and scowled. "I'll let taichou know as soon as possible. Thanks for bringing this to me you two," she said before asking how they were doing.

" I'm doing alright." Hoshi said and added that she didn't like the tension in the air.

"I'm doing alright as well, thanks for asking Rukia-chan" Katia said.

" Is everyone ready?" Gin asked as he stood in front of a portal. This had to work out or he would be in deeper trouble than he had realized in the beginning.

Staark and the other Arrancar under his command nodded.
