"No. " Karin said. She knew there had been a time he had lied but understood now why he had.

Ichigo shook his head lightly at that. "Besides then?" he asked.

" Besides then. I knew you were lying to me and Yuzu then to keep us safe. " Karin said.

"You're not gonna win Protector, just give up while you still have your dignity intact," Claudia quipped.

Josh grinned agreeing with his sister. He was glad that Ichigo-san had a good relationship with his sisters. " I should get going. Thank you all for a good time. " He said with a smile.

"You are quite welcome Joshua-san," Kisuke said as he watched the young man leave the shop, hoping that he would be okay.

Claudia hoped Josh would be safe too, but was glad he had the talisman with him.She was looking forward to the training to begin since she was getting tense.She wasn't sure what Kisuke had in mind for her own training and had a feeling it was going to be more difficult than it had yesterday.

"Farewell Joshua-kun," Nel said as she saw him leaving the shop with a smile on his face.

"So...what now Kisuke?" Ichigo asked, having a feeling that they were going to continue Claudia's training. He didn't want to say anything specific about it while Pete was in the room.

"Captain Kuchiki has agreed to help with Claudia's training. He wants to see how she adapts to different situations. " Kisuke said. He had answered the questions the younger captain had about Claudia's powers and wanted to see how it worked.

"Wait, what? What powers?" Pete asked, a little curious and a little alarmed.

" I sort of developed powers because of being able to see ghosts. Want to see what they can do?" Claudia asked Pete. She hoped he wouldn't freak out.

"Sure," Pete said, extremely curious.

Claudia focused and formed a small piece of metal over her hand. " Wait till you see it during training. " She said.

"Yeah, you should," Ichigo smirked lightly. He wouldn't call her Magneto in front of Pete, but knew that Pete would call her that himself once he saw her abilities.

" Lets head down then. We still have a few hours before the others arrive. " Kisuke said after he finished with the dishes.

"Good idea," Ichigo said. If Pete was surprised at Claudia's abilities, he would be impressed by his and Byakuya's...either that or want to kill Byakuya due to his Zanpakuto.

Pete was surprised he could see the Shinigami out of the bodies that they had been in but not able to see ghosts. " I hope it's a cool ability. " Pete said thinking of all his favorite comic book characters.

"Mine may not be impressive by much, but I know you'll find something interesting with Bya's and Claudia's," Ichigo said with a grin, already moving his head forward so that Rukia's attempt for swatting him missed.

" So lets get stated then. " Claudia said. She wondered what sort of abilities Captain Kuchiki had but had a feeling they were somting very dangerous when encountered.

Ichigo watched both Byakuya and Claudia, preparing himself to step in at a moment's notice if he needed to. He just hoped that he wouldn't have to.

"Claudia-san, are you sure you're ready for this? My skills aren't similar to that of Karin or Ichigo," Byakuya said.

" I'm sure. " Claudia said and saw the worried look on Pete's face and hoped she wasn't doing something she might regret later.

"As long as you are sure Claudia-San. Scatter...Senbonzakura," he said as he noted that Claudia had her shield up and ready for whatever happened. Mentally directing his petal blades at Claudia, he did admit that he was curious as to what would happen.

"Aniki/Ichigo," both Karin and Rukia exclaimed with a tone of concern in their voices. They both noticed how tense he had become after Byakuya activated his shikai.

Claudia brought up the metal pieces when she saw the petal blades head toward her and pushed it forward wondering what might happen if she did. She knew that her powers seemed to adapt to the different types of attacks that would hit it.

Ichigo watched on, tensing his hands into fists, knowing that it was still training for Claudia, but that still didn't help knowing about the damage that Byakuya could cause with the blades. Though he was impressed...it seems as if Claudia's ability could adapt to the situation at hand...well, almost. He noticed that some pieces of the metal were still getting cut by the blades.

Claudia could feel the pressure of the blades and focused on her brother. She didn't want to see him hurt and knew if he was she didn't know what she would do.

Urahara noticed that Claudia's shield had gained strength but knew she needed to do something. " Try and focus on the metal moving the blades out of your way. " He suggested.
