"I'm just worried about what your friends will think of me..." she said. She was thinking about lying to her, but didn't have the heart to tell her that she was alright.

" Don't worry Elva-chan . They will like you." Hoshi said, knowing Chad and Orihime would , but wasn't sure about Ishida.

She nodded lightly, even if she didn't believe it herself. Then again, her brother was always telling her that she needed to believe in herself more.

Hoshi waved once she saw the others arrive. She hoped she could help Elva build up her confidence in herself.

Tatsuki waved back once she saw Hoshi-chan, Toushiro-kun and the spirit that Ichigo told her about, Elva, if she remembered the name correctly.

" Morning Tatsu." Hoshi said and waved to Chad , Orihime and Ichigo who were close behind. She introduced Tatsuki ,Chad and Orihime to Elva and was glad things were going well. Hoshi hoped Elva remembered meeting Tatsuki from last night.

Elva remembered Tatsuki well. While her reiatsu had a fiery nature to it, it was filled more so with determination rather than anger and wasn't scared of her. She lightly sensed reiatsu in the others, but it wasn't enough for her to get a feel of them. She was glad that everyone accepted her, although she noticed that Ichigo was looking around for someone. "Ichigo-san?"

"It's nothing...it's just that there's one more person you should meet, although it seems as if he isn't here today...odd."

" Are you sure he's not here? I thought I sensed him when I got here ." Hoshi said , knowing Ishida usually got here long before she did. The bell rang and Hoshi got up . She wondered if Elva would follow her to class. Hoshi knew her young friend would be safer inside.

Elva wondered who they were talking about before hearing a bell start ringing in the distance. Seeing that Ichigo, Hoshi and the others started heading inside the building, she followed them inside out of curiosity.

Hoshi sat down at her desk and got her homework out , passing it to the front. She took notes and let Elva look at the text book. She was glad that the teacher for once had stayed on topic.

Elva watched, hoping that anyone besides the people she met could see her. Even so, she kept quiet all the same. Especially since she never got the chance to cover it while she was living.

The bell rang for lunch and Hoshi grabbed her lunch .She smiled at Elva hoping her friend was doing alright. She waited outside the class room and waited for the others to head up to the roof.

Tatsuki had somewhat enjoyed the first half of the school day, actually surprised that there teacher stayed on topic for once. Once the school bell rang, she grinned lightly and grabbed her lunch before making her way up to the rooftop with the others.

Hoshi headed up the stairs and said in a low voice," How are you doing Elva-chan?" Hoping her friend was doing alright.

"I'm doing alright, thanks for asking," Elva responded in the same tone of voice.

" That's good. " Hoshi said with a smile and joined the others. She unwrapped her sandwich and took a bite, hoping things went well later.

Elva busied herself while everyone else was eating. Since she didn't need to eat, she thought about her brother and hoped that they could rescue him.

Ichigo finished his sandwich and noticed that Elva was looking in the direction where they had first met and where the Bount's house was. Getting up, he moved next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder lightly. "We'll help you get him back Elva-chan," he said.

Hoshi finished her sandwich and went towards Elva, nodding in agreement with what Ichigo said.

"Thanks...both of you," Elva said quietly.

Hoshi hoped she could help Elva and hoped Vincent was alright. Hoshi heard the bell ring and went back to class. She worked to finish her homework in study hall, now that she was used to having it done before going home. Class let out early again and she waited until the others in her study hall had left to talk to Elva." Would you like to head to the library? School won't let out for another 30 minutes." She said in a quiet voice.

Ichigo heard the bell ring a few minutes later and went inside with Tatsuki and the others. Once study hall started, he worked on his homework, striving to finish it before school let out for the day. Once he did that, he closed his eyes and waited for class to end.

Elva nodded with a light grin starting to form on her face, especially since she loved reading.

Hoshi smiled and headed to the library. " What sort of book do you like Elva-chan?" She asked as they made their way toward the library.

"A little bit of this and that actually, although I've come to like the Inheritance Cycle," Elva said. While she didn't like the character with the same name as hers, she did like the adventures that Eragon and Roran had.

" I haven't read those yet." Hoshi said . They arrived at the library and she went toward the fiction section to look for the Inheritance Cycle. She found the first book and checked it out. " School should be over soon. Ready to head to the lobby?" Hoshi asked as she put the book in her bag.

"You haven't?" Elva asked in disbelief as Hoshi checked the book out for her. Following her every step of the way so that she wouldn't get lost, she nodded after seeing Hoshi put the book into her bag.
