Ichigo was intrigued by the idea of hypnotism. "I think this is the first time you ever talked about this Tetsu-san," Ichigo said after listening to Hoshi's father.

Toushiro sat there and quietly listened in on the conversation, but had nothing to add to it, yet. This was the first time that he even heard of an event such as this and mentally cursed Aizen yet again for what he did. He did have a question though and voiced it to Tetsu. "Why did talking about the nightmares help the patients?"

"It is the first time. There were things Fumi wanted me to know before she died so in case they happened again. Talking about the dreams helped them cope with them. That's why they were hospitalized in the first place. The lack of sleep affected their health badly.She didn't think it was Seer related at first until she read her father's journals. He kept a detailed record of what Seers were capable of. The nightmare technique was one that hadn't been used in 200 years. The Seers were very bothered at what was happening to the Quincy and they collectively decided to stop using techniques they assumed the Shinigami would deem dangerous." Tetsu said solemnly, since he knew of those days all too well.

Toushiro raised an eyebrow at that. "The Seers could use this as a method of attack on normal citizens?" he asked out of curiosity. If that was the case, what else could Seers do he wondered.

" From what Fumi said they could, but only in very dire situations or if they were forced to. If there is a Seer doing this , they aren't doing it willingly. The Seers never wanted to be a threat to anyone. Fumi told me those techniques were supposed to have been forgotten by most Seers, but only a select few knew about them. It's possible Aizen had got a hold on a Seer who knew this and forced them to use this technique. " Tetsu said, feeling worried . He hoped he didn't start anything against the Seers.

Toushiro noticed the worried look that was sent his way and smiled lightly. "Don't worry Tetsu-sama, the Seers secret is safe with me. I'm not going to have another Quincy Incident on our hands," the ice captain said. He knew that while the Quincy population had to be diminished, he still had not liked the outcome of that event.

"So it's possible that whoever this person is has a Seer and is forcing them to help?" Ichigo asked, making sure he got the jist of it. He hoped that wasn't the case, especially since his mind instantly went to Vincent.

Tetsu nodded and thanked the younger captain, feeling less tense now." It is very possible.He said solemnly, not wanting more innocent people to suffer ." Thinking also of Vincent. He hoped Vincent was safe , not wanting him to suffer through being captured again.

"Who's Vincent?" Rue asked innocently, not entirely understanding the situation that was going on.

" Vincent is Elva-chan's older brother. " Hoshi explained. This was a lot to take in, hoping that Tatsuki would tell them what was wrong.

"She never told me she had an older brother," Rue said, wondering what else her friend left out.

"Is there any way to tell if we're actually helping her?" Ichigo asked Tetsu.

" I don't know exactly, but Tatsuki would be the one to know once we did. I also want to as you Ichigo if Tatsuki mentioned sensing anything strange last night. Hoshi told me you knew about her and I sensing the evil presence that was out on the street last night." Tetsu said, hoping that those two incidents and the nightmares were connected.

"She said that someone threatened her, last I remember. Not with words, but with actions...showing that he could get to her whenever he wanted," Ichigo said as he clenched his fist in anger.

" This isn't good . We need to act soon then. " Tetsu said, not liking the fact that Tatsuki was in this much danger.

"What do you mean?" Ichigo asked in alarm.

" If he's already threatened harm he probably will act soon. I don't doubt she's safe with your father, but I'm afraid he might strengthen the intensity of the dreams. We should act soon to try to get Tatsuki to tell us what the dream is." Tetsu said solemnly.

"You mean to say that my dad could be making the nightmares stronger without realizing it?" Ichigo asked. He knew he was asking too many questions, but he only knew a little bit of info on Seers and that was only because he was a trusted friend of Hoshi's.

" I meant to say who ever our new enemy is, could be strengthening the dreams and cause Tatsuki harm. I apologize if I confused you at all." Tetsu said , rubbing his forehead. He knew he couldn't let the stress get to him and needed to focus better.

"Sorry," Ichigo said, sighing lightly. "So I need to convince my dad to let Tatsuki wake up and somehow get her to explain the dreams to someone, shouldn't be too hard." Ichigo said, before he thought of something. "What about her Zanpakuto spirit? Could that help her with the nightmares, at least for a little bit?"

" That would work. If Tatsuki tells someone she trusts the most then her Zanpakuto spirit would be a good choice." Tetsu said, knowing that telling anyone about the nightmares, she would be out of danger.

"Alright," he said. If there was anyone Tatsuki trusted, he knew it would be her Zanpakuto spirit.

" We probably won't be able to do anything tonight. Unless Tatsuki is awake already." Tetsu said, hoping she was, knowing the sooner the nightmares stopped the better.

"You're probably right, as much as I hate to admit it," Ichigo said. "Plus, I highly doubt my dad will listen to me right now, not after what I tried doing after he suggested something that stupid."

" What did happen? " Tetsu said raising his eyebrow a little, knowing those two fought more often. than he and Isshin had back in the old days. That thought reminded Tetsu that he still needed to tell Ichigo about his dad, but would wait for another time.

Ichigo explained what his father suggested originally and why he flipped out the way he did.

Tetsu nodded , understanding why Ichigo did flip out. He knew he didn't want Tatsuki to become a Vizard either, and silently hoped it wouldn't have to come to that.

Ryuenjin was watching the turmoil of his partner's soul in agony but couldn't do anything about it. Whatever was causing this created a powerful gust of wind that not even he could get through. He dared not use his power over flame to try and help him get through the storm gusts and to Tatsuki, not wanting to risk his flames getting out of control.
