"Thank you," Toushiro said. Once the waiter left, he picked the bag up that held his and Hoshi's food in it before laying a card on top of the bill, knowing that Souji would add a tip.

Souji added the tip and was glad they were going to see how they could help.

The four quickly left the restaurant, though Hoshi sighed lightly. 'I wish we could just enjoy the day...' she said with a soft sigh.

Toushiro heard Hoshi sigh lightly and turned towards her. "You okay Hoshi?" He asked with concern in his voice.

" Not really. " Hoshi said. " I was just hoping today would have been a normal one."

"I second that actually," Toushiro said with a light sigh. "Perhaps I could request a day off after everything has settled down?" He said in a questionable tone, wondering what she thought about that.

Hoshi thought. " That would be nice. " She said and hoped it was possible. She understood he was busy at times and was happy when she did get to see him.

"Go. Remember that Kusaka wants Tier Hallibel back alive, not dead. He wants the pleasure of torturing and killing her to himself," Coyote Starrk said before the other Hollows fanned out.

" We need to get ready. " Tetsu said. " Stay close to me. I'm not letting him get someone I care about. "

Tier blushed heavily at that. "You...You really mean that?" She asked, surprised before her new blade shined a bright blue. 'Hydro-chan?'

" I do mean that. " Tetsu said seeing Tier's blade glow.

" You can know that my name is Isode. " She said and was excited.

'Isode? What changed for me learning your name? All I did was...wait, I had to fall in love in order to earn your name?' she asked, surprised. She didn't think that it would be so simple. "But...I'm an Arrancar. How can you love someone who's dead?" she asked...not knowing what to say to that. She was still worried about telling Tetsu that he was starting to become someone that she could care greatly about...

(You can come up with design and activation phrase if you want)

" Yes. Love is possible for all beings. "Isolde said. " When you need me just say comforth beautiful water and I'll appear as a naginta. "

(A naginata?)

( this is what it is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naginata If that doesn't work I'll try again. )

(You spelled it wrong originally, so i was just double-checking)

"Oh what the hell. Come forth beautiful water...Isolde!" she said after drawing the new blade. In her hands now held a beautiful polearm weapon. "Wow..." she said, still genuinely surprised this happened...all because she fell in love with Tetsu.

( sorry about the misspelling. )

Tetsu was impressed and smiled. "Ready to go?" He said with a grin.

Tier nodded, hoping that she could learn how to wield Isolde's power quickly.

" Don't worry Tier-Chan, I'll teach you as we go. " Isolde said.

Tier nodded as she heard the mental voice of her new Zanpakuto. 'Thanks. Now then I have a question...can I wield both of you at the same time in Shikai? You and Tiberon that is.' she asked her new spiritual partner.

" I don't know. I'll have to ask him. And yes we get along. " Isolde said.

Tier was glad to hear that her two Zanpakuto spirits got along, but to be quite honest...she had to admit that this was a little on the strange side.

" We got company. " Tetsu said as hollows filled the area.

'Good, this will be the best time as any to tell you about my abilities,'Isolde spoke to Tier. 'Get ready'

Tier nodded and got ready to fight. She sensed Hoshi and Katia were also here to fight and would do what she could to protect those girls.

Souji had a Soul Pill in hand, ready to use it at a moment's notice if he had to do so. "Get ready to fight if need be," he said to both his girlfriend and her cousin/sister. He already knew that Toushiro also had a Soul Pill in his possession as well, and would fight as well.
