Both Tetsu and Urahara saw Isshin arrive. Tetsu waved him over towards them. He knew they had to discuss a few things before the training started.

Asami saw another shinigami arrive. She wondered who he was. She still was behind Hoshi . She hoped she could do something to help. Even if it was just to keep Hoshi away from Aizen. Asami had felt the change in the air too. It scared her very much. To her it felt like hollows but then again it didn't. What ever it was she didn't want to meet one.

Isshin headed over to the other two quickly and asked what was going on. He assumed that they would have already started training Ichigo and the others.

" I need to ask you a favor. I'm not sure if Ichigo told you yet, but I'm going to the Soul Society to testify . I'll be gone a week. I hope it's alright if Hoshi stays with your family till I get back. Also ,Kisuke and I have an idea on how Tatsuki and Hoshi can get out of their bodies if needed. It would require a small amount of their reiastu and make it into a pendant ." Tetsu said .

"It's similar to the badge Ichigo has really. I think they might be having to fight sooner than we'd like them to.Have you thought of a way for Asami-chan to be able to help us? Urahara knew something was up. He also knew Aizen always had a back up plan or an intention to fail on a plan to distract his enemies. The girls had to be ready.

Hoshi saw the adults talking and hoped they could start soon. She wanted to be able to gain enough strength to fight.

"Ichigo told me about it a couple of days ago, saying that you had some information on Aizen since you were in his division before. I don't mind Hoshi-chan staying with us for the week," Isshin said before nodding to answer Kisuke's question. "I called in a couple of favors and asked Miyori-san to make a gigai that had a large amount of reiatsu in it. He said that he would have it ready by the time you entered Soul Society. I was going to go with you and bring it back with me," He said to Tetsu. Before Kisuke or Tetsu could ask, he explained the theory that he had from the hypothesis that his son gave him. In theory...Asami could possess the gigai and move around like a normal person.

He then slowly got out of his gigai. "After we end training for today...I think we should tell Hoshi-chan and Tatsuki-chan about the idea of the badge. Although if we wait here any longer I have a feeling my son will ask just what's taking all of us old folks," He said with a light chuckle.

Urahara and Tetstu also chuckled. They both agreed that it was an interesting theory that just might work . Tetsu looked at Asami and grinned. She was more comfortable now than she was earlier. " I'm ready to start if the both of you are ." Tetsu said and headed toward the four that were gathered chatting .

Urahara left the same time as Tetsu did. He liked the idea that Isshin had . He hoped it would work, since it had never been done before.

Isshin looked around for Asami as he headed towards the rookie shinigami. He figured that Tatsuki would have a good balance between Kido and physical attacks while his son would be fully physical and Hoshi would be fully Kido. Chuckling lightly to himself, he headed towards the others.

"Alright, who's ready to have some fun?" He asked, only to get kicked in the face by his son for such a stupid comment. He expected it though, and let his son get the free shot in, since that would probably be the only one he got on his old man.

"I'm game," she said as Ryuenjin rested in its sheathe, ready to be taken out and used. She wanted to be able to help this time, especially since Orihime lied to her last time about them going to Soul Society to rescue Rukia. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen the petite girl in quite some time.

"Stop treating this like a game dad!" Ichigo shouted after kicking his father in the face. He waited for his father to stand up on his own power, knowing that he didn't put that much power into the kick.

"You want me to stop treating this like a game, son?" He asked, deadly serious for the first time in a while. He calmly unsheathed his Zanpakuto and brought it in front of him. "Then let's start training. Fight me and show me what you got," he said as he noticed Ichigo grin ferally and place his hand over his face, drawing dark energy and summoning his hollow mask.

"I'm all set...father" Ichigo said, not noticing that his Hollow-like energy was bothering Asami, Tatsuki or Hoshi seeing as it was there first time around the presence of Ichigo while he had his Hollow powers activated.

Asami now knew why she was scared of Ichigo.She went invisible and ran for cover. She was determined to stay hidden for good.

Hoshi got her shikai ready to fight her dad. He had unleashed his and said she couldn't be distracted .Hoshi was distracted once Ichigo had his Hollow powers activated . She dodged the swing of her dad's katana. She felt he wanted her to swing at him she tried to hit the katana but it seemed it hit something else . Hoshi fell backward after she blocked the latest move. She saw Tatsuki and Urahara off in the distance. She snapped back to focus and barely missed getting hit. She got back up and blocked a kido attack her dad used . She kept at this for a little while longer.

Tetsu was right that Hoshi was more inclined to use the defensive part of her shikai rather than offensive. He was more of an offensive fighter . His shikai looked like a regular katana but it used his reiatsu to power his attacks.

As Ichigo equipped his mask, Tatsuki's senses screamed at her to run away. She quickly moved to the side as Kisuke took her moment of fear as a chance to attack. Tatsuki quickly took Ryuenjin out and blocked the second strike with her blade. As she was doing that, she kicked Kisuke, or at least tried. Kisuke saw the tactic coming and disengaged from Tatsuki.

Tatsuki kept her eyes on Kisuke, glancing over only to see Hoshi and Ichigo fighting their fathers. She noticed that Ichigo was fighting evenly with his father, and noticed that he was able to get a slash in. Her danger sense kicked up and she quickly brought her blade up to block the strike, but since it was hastily created, her blade was knocked out of her hands and forced on the defensive, before she had a crazy idea. She shifted her eyes and located her blade before coating her body with her Reiatsu, fire forming around her.

Ichigo was a little surprised that even with his Hollow Mask he was giving just as well as he was taking. A scratch from his father was met with a following scratch from Zangetsu. This kept happening for a while before Ichigo was able to get a lucky shot. However, before he could capitalize, Isshin surprised Ichigo by using a Getsuga Tenshou.

"How..." Ichigo asked, shocked that his father could use the same attack that he used.

Tetsu knew he had to get Hoshi to use offense. How he would do this he wasn't sure . He knew his attacks were too similar to be effective. Even if his was a kido type Zanpakto , he had the feeling hers was at least a sub type. Which one it was he had to find out. He would have to up his power to help her use offence.

Hoshi felt her dad gain strengh as he continued to train her. She held her shikai like Zanpaktou spirit did when she unlocked her shikai. She saw a fog surround the both of them . She continued to fight back. She was able to strike the more she focused her reiatsu into her fighting.

Tetsu was glad Hoshi was finally using offence, as he fought the images of her .He did know which one was the original , but he continued to fight them. He could tell she was improving. He would shout out to her what to do . He didn't do this too often. he realized she would respond better to this method .He wasnt surprised Hoshi had an illusion type. It fit her personality the best .

Tatsuki was using her fire armor to a great degree for both offense and defense as she got closer and closer to her blade. She brought her arm covered in fire up in a defense to block the sword, the reiatsu-infused flame, using her other hand to lash out and punch Kisuke in the chest, causing the older shinigami to grimace in pain from the heat and force of reiatsu held within the punch. She saw Kisuke send out a wave of crimson energy, and prayed that by crossing her flame reiatsu arms that it would be enough to defend her against the ranged attack.

Unfortunately, the attack was too strong and pushed the young shinigami back. However, in the process, the attack placed her right next to the sword. Putting her foot underneath the hilt of the blade before flipping it up and into her hand. Feeling Ryuenjin back in her grip made her grin ever so slightly. "Bask in the Depths of Hell, Ryuenjin!" She said, as her blade flashed before lengthening. It soon became a curved sword. The hilt was colored crimson yet had no guard. The blade itself had a cold looking blue running through the middle of it as it was surrounded by a burnt orange color.

Tetsu had defeated the duplicates and was now fighting Hoshi. He wanted to make sure she could fight any type of attack. He was careful not to overpower his reiatsu levels . This was only part one of the training. They would take a short break and he wasn't sure who he would fight next . They would have to discuss it while the rookies rested a little. This round would last another 30 minutes before ending.

The fog had dissipated and Hoshi had the feeling the duplicates were defeated . She continued to dodge the attacks and had a few of her own , but they were weak blasts of reiatsu compared to her dad's. Tetsu was glad that Hoshi was controlling her reiastu more. She had a long ways to go though before she could lend it to amplify another's levels .

Ichigo's mask broke five seconds ago and after that happened, he was on the defense from his father. Luckily, Ichigo was still able to block most of his father's attacks, but he could not muster the speed to get inside his guard and attack like he could before. Ichigo growled before he got an idea. Granted Hichigo would get annoying stating that he created the attack in the first place, he let the cloth from the hilt grow and started twirling it around before quickly throwing it at his father, dulling the edge with reiatsu in case his father didn't block the strike.

"Flame Armor...interesting concept hatchling," Ryu said, knowing that by now his voice didn't distract her.

"Ryu-kun, I'm busy at the moment... she said as she blocked a kick from the older male with a knee. She winced lightly at the amount of power he put into the kick before backflipping, trying to catch Kisuke off guard with the attack. Unfortunately it didn't work, but she wanted the space. What can I do for you oh great master? she asked sarcastically, causing her spirit to chuckle halfheartedly.

"And here I thought I would teach you your first attack," he said before Tatsuki instantly got serious. "Good. Remember there is a time and a place for sarcasm, with me now is not the time. Now then, channel your reiatsu into my blade and repeat this phrase. First Wing of the Fire: Flame Dancer"

Tatsuki grinned as she channel her reiatsu into Ryuenjin, not noticing the blue of the blade turning white. While she was doing this, Kisuke was charging towards her, trying to disrupt her and see how she would react.

Hoshi knew her dad before was holding back his attacks, because now he was putting more strength into each strike. She was having a harder time dodging his attacks. She blocked his kick toward her leg and used the defensive karate moves she was better at. "Use your reiastu to make your kicks stronger."Indigo said knowing Hoshi could listen without being distracted. Hoshi did this and was able to block more of his strikes.

Tetsu noticed the change in the strength of her moves. He had hoped this would happen. As the first round ended. Tetsu helped Hoshi up. She had fallen down afterward.

Tatsuki took a few breaths in as Kisuke stopped attacking in the spar. She let her guard down for a few seconds after he said that his time with her was over. They would take a thirty minute break in order for them to recharge their respective energies.

Hoshi sat down to catch her breath.She had never worked that hard and could feel her muscles tighten She saw her dad head off to talk to Isshin and Urahara. Hoshi knew she could have done better. She didn't know what else they had planned for them.

" How should we approach the next round?" Tetsu said. He had the feeling Hoshi wouldn't hold back as much if she spared with someone other than himself. He knew he could have pushed her harder.

"And I think the only other person Ichigo would fight at full strength is Kisuke. Otherwise he'll most likely hold back." Isshin said, thinking. then again, he could learn how to hold back after all...

"I'm thinking Tetsu should fight Tatsuki this round , Isshin fight Hoshi and I fight Ichigo. Next round I'll fight Hoshi , Isshin fight Tatsuki and Tetsu fight Ichigo. With Ichigo fighting Tetsu ,he'll have to hold back. That's one thing he needs to work on.

" I agree with Ichigo fighting me he'll have to hold back a little , but this way it would give me a chance to fight harder." Tetsu wanted a challenge ." What do you think Isshin.?"

"I think it's a good idea, especially since he won't be using his mask for at least a little while." Isshin said as he looked to the young teens. "Did anyone notice where Asami-san went? I want to talk to her," He said.

Ichigo noticed that Hoshi was a little scared of him. "Hoshi-chan?" he asked in concern.

"I think she went invisible. She tends to do that when she's scared. I think she is watching us though. " Tetsu said . He knew that Asami would want to watch Hoshi fight.
Asami did come out of her hiding spot to watch Hoshi fight . She went over to the older Shinigami after she heard her name . She reappeared and said . " What do you want to talk to me about?" she said in a shy voice . She hope they could tell her she could help .

"I'm okay Ichigo. " she said with a small smile. " I'm just wasnt used to seeing you with your Hollow mask." That was the truth, she knew she had to get use to seeing it. " Is that the reason you trained with Shinji and his group last week?" She had assumed the trainig had to do with his inner hollow, but didn't ask. She didn't want to be seen as nosy.

"I don't want to get your hopes up, but I think I have a way for you to help," Isshin said as he noticed the girl look at him in surprise. Before she could ask how, the elder Kurosaki explained what he had in mind for the girl.

"Oh...I'm sorry," he said, not thinking that his hollow powers would have an effect on either Tatsuki or Hoshi. He didn't think when he fought against his father. "Yeah, that's what I was doing. Shinji and his friends...helped me control Hichigo." was all that Ichigo said.

"Hichigo?"

Asami listened as Isshin explained what his theroy was. " I hope it works . I promise if it doesn't I'll pass on to the other side. Hoshi wanted me to promise I would eventually . "

" I think I get bothered is because I'm too sensitive to reiastu . I wonder who each of us are going fight next ?"

The 30 minutes was almost up. " " I think we should be getting back to the training."Urahara said . He wasn't going to hold back on Ichigo . On Hoshi he might just a little bit. He had done that with Tatsuki to gauge her strength.

"I hope it works too. I have a feeling that Hoshi-chan would be extremely sad if you passed on." Isshin said, silently hoping that it would work.

"I see," He said, conveniently ignoring Tatsuki's question about Hichigo for now. Before she could growl at him and ordered him to answer, the three adults came back towards them.

"Break time's over. Hoshi-chan, you're with me this time." Isshin spoke as Kisuke motioned for Ichigo to follow him, leaving Tatsuki with Tetsu.

" Ready Tatsuki?" Tetsu said. He released his zanpaktou and got in a fighting stance. He wanted to see how she would react .

Hoshi released her zanpaktou in time to block a strike from Isshin. She had a much more difficult time than she had with her dad. She quickly realized Isshin wasn't going to hold back . She would have to put her full power in to each move.

"Ready," She replied bringing her zanpakuto out and quickly releasing her Zanpaktou as well. She hoped that Hoshi would forgive her if Tatsuki hurt Hoshi's father

Tetsu swung at her hoping Tatsuki would be able to follow with a strike of her own. He hated fighting his daughter's best friend, but he knew that they had to get them ready to face any type of enemy.

Hoshi was doing her best to block Isshin's attacks. She was in offensive mode . She tried to get some blows in herself .
