"I remember you telling me about that, and I don't blame you one bit," Ichigo replied as he took an umbrella out of his bag as well, having a feeling that it could rain before both headed to his home, wanting to check up on Tatsuki.

" I hope Tatsuki was able to get some rest. " Hoshi said as they walked toward Ichigo's house. She kept her guard up in case they were being followed, though by now it was pretty much a habit.

"Knowing my old man, she probably did. Either by giving her a tranquilizer or her just following directions," Ichigo replied as they headed to his place. To the unobservant stranger, they would see Hoshi rigid and guarded while Ichigo was aloof and relax; however, Ichigo, too, was on guard as he had a certain amount of spirit energy around him. It wouldn't destroy or cripple anything, but the amount of pressure would at least stall an Arrancar for a few seconds.

Hoshi opened her umbrella when she felt the first drops of rain start to fall. She was glad they were almost to Ichigo's house.

Ichigo opened the door and let Hoshi inside.

Hoshi shook her umbrella and closed it before she went inside, taking off her shoes and placing them on the shoe rack to dry . She hoped Tatsuki was awake, but understood if her friend was still sleeping.

Isshin saw Hoshi and his son enter the household and told them that Tatsuki was still sleeping due to the medication that he had to give her.

Hoshi nodded and hoped Tatsuki would be alright. She was glad though that her friend was getting some needed rest.

Ichigo nodded as well. "Dad, what did you give her?" he asked out of curiosity.

"Just something to knock her out without dreaming. She was having terrible nightmares," Isshin replied to his son's question.

" Did she say what they were about?" Hoshi asked , feeling concerned.

Isshin shook his head. "She didn't say and I didn't want to invade her privacy and ask," Isshin responded.

Hoshi nodded, knowing when Tatsuki was ready to say something about the nightmares she would listen. hoshi hadn't shared all the dreams she had in the past, mostly because she didn't want people to worry and understood why her friend didn't want to say anything.

"Was there anything else wrong with her, besides pure exhaustion?" Ichigo asked, concerned for one of his long time friends.

"No. The only thing she needs is sleep. Don't worry about her, she'll be fine," Isshin said, reassuring his son and Hoshi.

" I'm glad Tatsuki will be fine. Thank you Doctor Kurosaki for keeping an eye on her. " Hoshi said . She didn't want to see anyone she cared about hurt by this new enemy , not sure how she would deal with it.

"You don't have to call me that Hoshi-chan," Isshin replied, especially since he was friends with her father. He did, however, wonder how this new enemy caused Tatsuki to have so many nightmares.

" Is it possible that this new enemy could be using a form of mind control to cause Tatsuki to have the nightmares? " Hoshi asked after a little bit. Hoshi knew that once Elva was able to be in the same dream she was having , wondering if Seers were being used for their enemy's plan.

"It's possible...but I don't know how he or she is doing it if that is the case," Isshin replied after thinking for a few seconds. "Although if that is the case, why would he target Tatsuki-chan?"

" Don't know why. Is it possible the Seers are being used again?" Hoshi said in a low voice, hoping her idea wasn't true. She didn't really know how many Seers were left,and hoped to someday meet more.

"You thinking that this nightmare attack is used to stop Seers from having visions?" Isshin asked. It was a curious hypothesis.

" It's possible. Or it could be used to cause someone who might not be a Seer to have visions," Hoshi said, knowing some of the visions she had in the past could be considered nightmares to most people. What puzzled her was why this new enemy was doing this, and wondered if Aizen had done the same.

"How does that work though?" Ichigo asked out of confusion.

" I don't know. Though the closest situation I can think of was when Elva and I had a the exact same dream. I just hope the nightmares Tatsuki has been having are not visions a Seer is dreaming. " Hoshi said, wondering who she could ask for more information about the Seers.

"Wasn't that because you were both trying to see the same thing though?" Ichigo asked. "Perhaps we should ask your dad, he might know more about all of this," Ichigo said, hoping that whatever was doing this wasn't causing Tatsuki to see visions, knowing that some of them could be extremely disturbing.

" It was, but I can't think of anything else. " Hoshi said and agreed it would be good idea to ask her dad about this. Hoshi knew he had told her many things about the Seers, but also felt he was holding back some information.

"Is there anything we can do for Tatsuki, dad?" Ichigo asked, concerned for his friend
