" I didn't. " Hoshi said feeling guilty. She knew that information would have helped with their planning.

"It's alright," Katia responded.

" Ready to start the day? " Hoshi asked since today was an important training day .

"Yeah," Katia replied, knowing that today was very important.

Hoshi was looking forward to this training since they both would be learning new things. " You excited about the training?" She asked as she got out of bed.

"Yeah," Katia responded with glee. She knew that both her cousin and herself would be learning several things today.

Hoshi smiled. " Then let's get ready. " She said and got her things ready for the bathroom.

Katia nodded as she got ready for her shower. Getting her clothes ready for the day, she waited for her cousin to finish with her shower before taking one herself.

Gin was getting things ready for tonight's attack. He knew that this would be the best way to get another soul and to not be seen while he was taking one. He just hoped that there wasn't anyone who had a gun like Urahara had the last time there was a battle.

Ishida was using the time from Gin not attacking them in order to train, not only himself, but also the young female that was next to him.

(I believe her name is Sasha, and had a crossbow-like spirit bow, but I could be wrong)

( it was Saya. )

Saya was glad to be back training after a long while and knew that she needed to help fight. She didn't like that three of her friends were targets of someone who wanted to be in power.

(awesome, glad I was right)

"I'm glad you're willing to help Saya-chan," Ishida said as he was helping her get back into the swing of things. He had a feeling that they would soon be needed to help fight.

"You are welcome Ishida-kun. But I should be thanking you for helping me get back into training. " Saya said. Her grandma had died and it had been hard to not help her friends that needed her. Saya was glad that her Aunt understood why she needed to get back into training so soon after her grandma's death.

"It was my pleasure Saya-chan, and I know your grandmother will be proud of you," he said. He knew how hard it was for her, but was glad that she wanted to continue fighting.

" I know she would have too. I miss her a lot. " Saya said feeling sad. But she knew that her grandma was finally at peace after all the years she had been afraid of the Vandenreich.

Ishida hugged her lightly. "That she would be," he said softly. Over the days and months, Ishida had been there for Saya through everything.

Saya gave a smile. " I don't want to see our friends get taken by Gin. " She said knowing that she would fight her hardest to keep them safe.

"And they won't. We'll fight until we have nothing left to give," Ishida spoke with determination.

" Do you thing Gin is the last bad guy we need to fight?" Saya asked having a feeling there was someone much worse just waiting for this to get over.

"There will always be someone to fight Saya-chan. If not Gin, then someone else," Ishida said, sighing lightly.

" I guess that's they way things are. Are we ready to get back to training ?" Saya asked and wanted to be good at the new move she was learning.

Ishida nodded. "Yeah. You still working on that move of yours?" he asked.

" Yep. Still having some trouble with it, but I think I am getting better." Saya said and was hoping she would have the chance to practice more today.

"What are you trying to do again?" Ishida asked out of curiosity. He knew that she told him in the past, but he had forgotten.

" I'm trying to increase the number of arrows I shoot at a a time. So far I can shoot 25 arrows instead of 24. " Saya said wanting to be able to shoot 30.
