" It's no problem. " Tetsu said with a smile.

Halibel blushed lightly. "Still, thank you" she replied. 'wait...me, blushing?'

Tetsu smiled. " How about breakfast. Hoshi and Katia have pancakes all made. "

"Sure. I'll wake my Fraccion up and we can all eat," she responded. She knew that there would be a few things to learn once they got their gigai but until then, she was at the mercy of Tetsu...within reason of course.

" Are we ready for our guests Yoruichi? " Kisuke said with a grin but was concerned that it would be hard to hide three Arrancars.

(four, not three just for a heads up)

"We are," Yoruichi responded. "You were working on the four night and day," she commented.

(Sorry about that.)

" Yes I have been. Though I am surprised Halibel and her Fraccion did defect." Kisuke said.

(no problem. It happens to all of us :p)

"Me too. But I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially since now we have two powerful allies on our side," Yoruichi responded, wondering just what happened to cause the proud Arrancar of Water to defect.

" Are we ready to go?" Saya asked Soji and hoped everyone was okay. She had sensed the Arrancars last night and was fearful.

"I believe we are," Soji replied. He, too, had felt the Arrancars last night, but had a feeling everything was taken care of.

" Do you think Hoshi and Katia are okay?" Saya asked and didn't want anyone else to be taken.

"I haven't heard anything from Tetsu, so I think they're both okay Imouto" Souji responded.

" That's good. " Saya said as they walked.

"Agreed," he responded before seeing Ichigo and his sisters and waved.

Yuzu waved back to Soji and Saya and was glad to see that they would be with them too.

Karin waved towards the duo as well, glad to see that they were well.

" Glad to see you all. " Saya said and saw Chad , Tatsuki and Uryu in the distance.

Chad smiled and nodded as well, glad to see that his friends were alright.

Kisuke waited outside his shop and kept watch. He knew Kusaka wouldn't risk attacking him, but wasn't going to let those he cared about get hurt.

Tatsuki soon saw Kisuke outside of his shop and was glad to see him, though the karate girl was surprised to see four spirits behind Tetsu, Toushiro, Katia and Star-chan and even though the four spirits had bone masks, she didn't react due to the fact that Tetsu and the others weren't alarmed.

" Welcome everyone!" Kisuke said " Ladies it is on honor for you to be here. " He said kindly to Halibel and her Fracctions.

"Thank you for having us," Hallibel replied, as her Fraccion nodded as well. They knew that they were here only because of Tetsu and Toushiro's mercy.

" We'll be safer inside. " Kisuke said sensing a change in the air.

"That would probably be for the best," Halibel replied, also sensing something amiss.

Kusaka had sent some spies to watch the shop again, but he had ordered them to attack once the training was over with. The leader of this group was under strict order to either capture a Seer or make sure Halibel was killed.
