"That...that sounds like something that Master would have done...but why would he want me, especially at a young age?" She asked. If this car accident really did happen, it would explain why she didn't remember anything until after she was settled into the home base of the Vandenreich.

Ishida wondered that as well, although what Tetsu said about his father was probably true. He knew that there had to be something more to Katia then met the eye, but what? "Maybe...there's something that you and we don't know about you yet, Katia. Something about your powers that made you valuable enough for your ex-master to kill your parents and subtly brainwash you into believing anything that he said was right. Or it could be nothing at all. You could have just been at the right age and at the right place when he saw you," Ishida said as he thought out loud.

" I'm thinking Katia was just the right age to be trained. From what Ive been told about both Seers and Quincies, the younger the training starts the better. " Tetsu said. He remembered Hoshi had started training to be a Seer at a young age, but knew it had been cut short when her mother had died.

Ishida nodded at that. "That makes sense. Grandfather started my training when I was seven," he replied. He just hoped that this didn't change anything between them all. He also silently wondered who Katia was thinking about when she said 'Master' and hoped that he wasn't looking for her, or trying to get her back.

(Sorry about taking so long. Been watching Doctor Who today. It's supposed to be back in September, but there is no offical date yet. Really miss it. )
Tetsu wondered too who Katia meant by " Master" He would ask Kisuke if he knew." I'm glad that you know that you have family now Katia. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask . Same for you Uryu. " Tetsu said with a kind smile.

(...we both like WH13, Grimm and now Dr. Who...nice. I miss it as well...)

"Thank you sir," both Katia and Ishida said. Ishida was glad that this went against what he thought would happen. Although he was curious as to why both he and Katia had Quincy powers while Hoshi had Shinigami and Seer powers and asked Tetsu about it.

" I think it's because Quincy powers are stronger than Seer powers. Hoshi inherited her Shinigami powers from me and when they were unlocked, they became the same as her Seer abilities. From what she's told me, they seem to be working as one ." Tetsu said doing his best to explain.

"And because you can lend your power to others, Hoshi can do the same, right?" Ishida asked. If she could, a small possible idea was forming in his mind. It would be considered a short cut, but at times like these, they needed to do whatever they could.

Katniss huffed lightly as the worn out looking bow in her hands shattered as if it were glass as she tried firing an arrow from it. Growling lightly, she dropped the remains and jumped backwards from the arrow that landed where she was standing just a few minutes ago. Scanning her surroundings, she suddenly moved to the left before sticking her foot out, tripping her zanpakuto spirit out of luck. However, before she could take advantage of it, Mockingjay turned her fall into a roll before vanishing once more.

"Nice try Catnip, but luck only gets you so far," he said in a taunting manner.

" I can. " Hoshi said. She could tell Ishida was thinking up something and wondered what it was.

"Alright. Tetsu-san, is it okay if we use your training grounds for a few seconds? I want to test something out," he said. Seeing a worried expression on the older man's features, Ishida also told him that he was welcome to watch, and would stop if he said so.

" You can. I'll come and watch and show you the entrance. " Tetsu said as he got out of his chair. He asked them all to follow as he made his way down the basement steps. He stopped at one of the corners and opened a trap door that reveled a set of stairs. He hoped Hoshi would be alright if she used her powers.

Ishida followed Tetsu down to the basement, knowing that both girls were behind him. He just hoped that his theory worked, although he wasn't sure if it would be a permanent addition to reiatsu or not.

Hoshi grabbed the pendant around her neck once she reached the bottom of the stairs and sat in the chair nearby. She got into her spirit form. She saw that her dad had done the same. " What is your idea Ishida-san? " She asked.

"I was thinking of having Katia doing something similar to what I did when I was training my reiatsu, but speed up the recovery time just a little. What my grandfather had me do was exhaust most of my reiatsu for a day, then take a day off to regain my reiatsu. Every time I did this, I was able to get a little bit stronger each day," Ishida said, explaining.

" Sounds like a good idea. How would you speed up the recovery?" Tetsu asked.

"I was hoping to use Hoshi's power to transfer reiatsu in order to speed up the recovery," Ishida said factually.

" Sounds interesting. " Tetsu said intrigued. He knew Hoshi still needed to get use to her powers, figuring this would be good practice. He did get worried that Hoshi often got tiered when she used her amplifying abilities.

Ishida nodded as well, glad that Tetsu approved.

" When would you like to test your theory out? " Tetsu asked. "Though I suggest tomorrow would be the best, that way you all would be rested enough to train." He added.

"I didn't think about that actually, thanks Tetsu-san," Ishida replied.

Ichigo wondered what to do with the rest of the day, bored out of his mind. True he could train with his Zanpakuto or try to lengthen the time he could tap into his Hollow powers at will, but both seemed a little blah to him. Of course his decision was made for him when he was brought into his mindscape. 'The hell?'

" No problem. Would you and Katia like to stay for supper. I was thinking about ordering pizza." Tetsu said. He wanted to help as much as he could while he was in the Living World, not sure when he would be needed again to fight.

"Pizza?" Katia asked, causing Ishida to look at her funny.

"You've never had pizza before?" Ishida asked, surprised. Everyone ate pizza at least once in their life, it was just how the universe worked.

" It's alright that you don't know what pizza is. I had that same reaction when I first had it ." Tetsu said and explained what pizza was. He wanted to help Katia, knowing that was what Fumi would want him to do.

As Tetsu described what pizza was, Katia's stomach growled lightly. "From your description...I wouldn't mind trying it," Katia said, waving off Ishida's apology, knowing he meant nothing by it.

" Alright. What would everyone like? I have a flyer in case you want to see what kinds they have." Tetsu said.

"I would like to see a flyer, if you don't mind...Uncle," she said, hoping that title was alright. If not, then she would call him Tetsu-san like everyone else but Hoshi did.
