"You're welcome Travis," Ryuken said with his lips tugged in a smiling position. While he wouldn't say it out loud and directly deny it to his dying breath, he was glad that someone was trying to close the rift between the Shinigami and Quincy.

" Anything we need to discuss before I head back home? I need to clean up a bit since my wife and children will be here late tomorrow. " Travis said with a grin. He did admit he could be a bit of a slob when he was alone.

Ryuken chuckled lightly at that. "Go home and get ready to see your wife," he said.

" Alright. Let me know if you find out any thing. I promise to do the same. Though it might be best if we communicate though the communication technique. " Travis said. He had looked in all his fathers documents for a name but he feared the name had been lost over the last 200 years.

Hoshi was glad to hear the bell ring after lunch. She was ready to get stronger, but was feeling nervous after the events of earlier that day.

(yay, finally caught up on Once Upon a Time. Can't wait until Jan 6th)

Ryuken nodded. "I will let you know if I find anything out. Hopefully we can find the name of both this leader and the person named uncle," Ryuken said before he let Travis take his leave, especially since he had to do some research...he pondered if his son would like to help, if he knew what he was doing.

Ichigo heard the bell ring after lunch, glad that they only had a half day today. After overhearing his dad talking about Jessica and her getting captured, he knew he was going to have to get stronger and the first thing to do was to master his Hollow form.

( can't wait either. At least it's better than March. Why did they push Grimm that far into the new year?)
" Ready to go?" Hoshi asked her friends. She knew Yoruichi would be waiting with Katia to help them train. She was nervous on what she would need to get stronger.

(Why did they push Warehouse 13 so far into the year?)

All of them nodded, though Tatsuki was glad that Hoshi told them what exactly was going on.

( I know . That's just too long to wait.I'm waiting for Sherlock to come back. Filming for season 3 doesn't start till until January.)

Hoshi had debated on telling the others, but knew it would be best for her to do so. She kept her guard up as they walked to Her house to train. She waved when she saw Katia and Yoruchi walking toward them.

(The BBC version?)

Katia waved back towards her cousin and their friends, glad that Hoshi was still safe. Then again, she was in the presence of Ichigo, one of the strongest shinigami she knew.

( Yep. Never could get into CBS's take on Sherlock Holmes. Read the stories in High School.)

Hoshi was glad to see her cousin safe and smiled. " Ready to train?" She said feeling confident that this was what she needed to do. Hoshi wanted to be strong enough to help.

(I'm okay with the one that's on CBS, but I haven't seen the BBC version yet)

"Ready, or not, all of you are going to be needing training, even you Ichigo" Yoruichi said.

Hoshi wondered what Yoruichi had in store for their training today and had a feeling it would help. Hoshi unlocked the front door and let everyone inside. She was feeling nervous about going to sleep that night not wanting to be blocked.

Ichigo and the others followed Hoshi inside, while the orange-haired shinigami wondered just what Yoruichi could train him in. Don't get him wrong, he knew that he needed to be stronger for this, but he just didn't know how to start, nor did he think Yoruichi knew anything more that could help him. Boy would he be in for a rude awakening...

"You actually think you can bribe me into doing your dirty work for you," Jessica growled out after hearing what the leader of the two people who captured her said. He wanted her to use her powers as a Seer to block two Seers from seeing into their plans. "Not only that, but even if I did agree to your bribe, how do I know you just wouldn't stab me in the back later?" she asked, glaring at the man.

" That wasn't a bribe my dear. It was a request. You will do as we demand, if you want to see your parents alive ever again." The Leader said. He would go to that level, as he had done many times before. He was being overly generous to this Seer, knowing he needed to get this done soon before both Katia and Hoshi got stronger. He didn't want them to be able to be immune to these attacks.

Hoshi had opened the hatch to the training and went down carefully. She got into her spirit form and wondered what else she could learn. Hoshi knew there were still many things she didn't know about being a Shinigami and Seer.

"Leave my family alone you sick bastard," Jessica said as she glared at the man in front of her. She would rather die instead of helping this man.

Tatsuki went down the ladder carefully before getting into her shinigami form. 'I wonder what Yoruichi-chan has in store for us...' she thought to herself.

The Leader smirked. " I like your fighting spirit. You would have made a wonderful Quincy, but I must be leaving. I will be back later to get you ready for what you will be doing. Just think of this a helping a worthy cause. " He said and left the room. He knew that this could only be done at night and had a few hours to wait.


Hoshi could see that Katia was looking nervous and gave her cousin a reassuring look. She knew Katia was as scared as she was about falling asleep.

"Go to hell!" she shouted to his retreating back. She knew that she was risking her life as well as her family's but she didn't care. She just hoped that someone would rescue her...and soon.

" Are we read to start ?" Yoruichi asked with a grin. She knew they only had a few hours to make sure Hoshi and Katia reached stronger level. Once that was done , tomorrow's training would be easier to plan. She was glad everyone had a day off school tomorrow.

Everyone nodded, ready and waiting for whatever Yoruichi had in store for them. They knew it was going to be brutal and didn't care, knowing that it would help them in the long run, especially now that the Vandenreich had a new Seer.

Yoruichi had a small set of cubes and set them on the ground." You probably wonder what these are. These are programs that will project what looks to be real hollows. They vary in strength and the projections are just like the real thing. "She said. This was a technology that Kisuke had developed back when he was third seat of Division 2. They had been used to help train the higher level officers and help them get stronger.

Ichigo looked on in interest, noticing that the others also looked on interested. Smirking lightly, he got into his stance, having a feeling that there was one cube here for each person. It would be a good time to test his new technique out.

" Now everyone take a cube. Don't worry about destroying the cube since it was sealed to be protected. " Yoruichi said. She would also take a cube, since she herself wanted to train a bit.

"We just stand in front of it, and it will activate, right?" Tatsuki asked. Hey, she was new to all of this sort of training and didn't know how to start it. She wasn't backing down, not this tomboy martial artist.

" Right. But you should be ready to strike since it usually starts as soon as it senses you are ready, even if you think you aren't.


Hoshi hoped that she could do this wanting to be strong enough. She had a cube and was waiting for the signal to start.

Tatsuki nodded as she walked in front of a cube, prepared for just about anything as Ryuuenjin was already in it's shikai state.
