Rukia knocked on the girl's door lightly, hoping that they were free for the night. She had just come from their taichou's office and said that they could see their father/uncle if they wanted to.

" Lieutenant ! It's good to see you." Hoshi said with a smile. She knew that she could only call Rukia by her first name when they were off duty. It was hard but Hoshi was getting use to it.

Rukia chuckled lightly. "Come now, you know I don't mind the both of you calling me by name," Rukia responded after hearing her rank from Hoshi. She understood why it was the case. "Anyways, Taichou has given you the night off and your father/uncle is at the entrance of the division building. You two are welcome to see him, if you choose on doing so," she said in explanation.

" We do want to see him. " Hoshi and Katia said at the same time. Katia missed her uncle and was looking forward to seeing him very much.

"Then I'll let him know. I'll be back shortly girls," Rukia said before closing the door behind her, a smile on her face. She had a feeling that the girls were missing their father/uncle and knew that it would be good for them to have some quality time. "Damn it Gin..." she muttered to herself lightly, knowing that he was the current reason that the family couldn't be together. Seriously, couldn't they catch a break?

" Are they able to see me? "Tetsu asked when he saw Rukia. He hated it that the girls were here but knew this experience was good for them.

Rukia nodded. "You can go see them," she said with a grin.

" Thank you so much Rukia-San. " Tetsu said and went to go greet the girls.

"Don't mention it," she said before heading to her quarters.

Hoshi was glad she and Katia were able to spend time with Tetsu even if it was only for a short time." We miss you so much dad. " Hoshi said and was feeling sad. She missed seeing her friends at school and hoped they were safe. She didn't want to see anyone hurt because of her.

"I miss you girls just as much," Tetsu responded as he hugged them both, glad to see them after so long.

" How's everything back home?" Hoshi asked. She didn't like the heavy feeling in the air and feared that soon a battle would be beginning.

"It's been interesting, to say the least. But it isn't the same," Tetsu said. He knew that while he trusted Rukia and the captain of the Thirteenth Division to the wellbeing of his girls, he still worried about them. He just hoped that it didn't show on his face. "Though I think Ichigo-san is starting to have girl troubles," he said with a light chuckle.

Hoshi giggled a little. " I had a feeling that he was. " She said and wondered who her friend would end up with. She could tell that Orihime and Chad talked more than normal during yesterday's training and that Ichigo got along well with Claudia-San.

" So are we ready to head back to Urahara's?" Pete asked Claudia. They had done some sight seeing and bought a few things to take back home. " Pete had a bad vibe that this peace wasn't going to last and knew he needed to tell Kisuke-San.

"That sounds like a good idea," Claudia responded as she was loaded with her own bag of souvenirs

" Are you getting a bad feeling like I am? " Pete said not wanting to be alone in this feeling. It seemed worse than what a regular vibe could be.

"So I'm not the only one then," Claudia replied, sighing softly. She had hoped that she was just imagining things, but ever since they left, she had the feeling that she was currently being watched by someone, or something.

" I'm glad too. We're almost to the shop so I think we'll be fine.

Gin had sent one of his top Arrancars to spy on the two warehouse agents. He knew his master would be pleased to know this information.

"Good. I feel just as safe in the shop as I do in the warehouse," Claudia muttered.

Kisuke could also sense the tension in the air and kept and eye out for both Pete and Claudia to return. He just hoped Gin didn't have someone following those two while they were out.

Claudia felt the hair on the back of her neck start to stand up and cursed lightly before turning around, quickly holding the Tesla weapon in front of her. She knew she could have used her new found power, but she didn't know how far it could go...and during battles, something she couldn't depend on wasn't something she wanted to use.

The Arrancar went back to Heuco Mundo and went before Gin. " I found her master. She is near the Urahara shop and is much stronger than you said she was. Would you like me to bring her to you?" He asked.

Gin nodded. "I would. But Make sure to not be seen, by either her or her partner," Gin said. He wanted it to seem as if she vanished into thin air.

" Yes master. " The Arrancar said and went back to the living world. This wasn't going to be an easy job and knew how desperate Gin-sama was right now for more souls.

Pete opened the door for Claudia as both of them headed inside.
