"I just don't want anything to happen to you Hoshi-chan," Elva said lightly after Hoshi told her that her father was staying with her here. "Can you tell my brother that his younger sister misses him and wishes to see him one more time," she said after Hoshi asked if she wanted to say something to her brother.

" I can do that. I know he'll want to see you again. I'll also explain how I know you. If he asks , that is. " Hoshi said kindly to her friend , knowing soon Elva would want to pass on.

"Thank you," she said, knowing that after talking to Vincent she would most likely head to Soul Society. It wouldn't be right for her to stick around after all, especially since she was already dead.

Hoshi waved and then headed downstairs. Hoshi knew that she wasnt doing this for herself, but for Elva, Vincent, Ishida and Tatsuki. Hoshi knew that things had to be set right.

Ichigo waited for her downstairs, since all the other shinigami spirits already left after Byakuya arrived. The only people left were Ichigo, Rukia, Chad and Orihime.

" I apologize for taking so long. I was talking to Elva for a little bit. " Hoshi said, still bothered by the scared look she saw on Elva's face.

"That's alright Hoshi-san," Rukia said lightly as everyone else nodded in agreement.

Hoshi was glad no one was mad at her and said she was ready to go.

Ichigo said that it wasn't a big deal before they all left, heading towards the place where the battle would start.

Hoshi kept her guard up as they headed toward the battle. She didn't want her friends to be ambushed, knowing there was the possibility.

(Yay! Final Fantasy XIII-2)

Rukia kept an eye out around them, ready for an ambush if it came to that. She noticed that Ichigo was also on the lookout. "Ichigo, how long do you need to take down the barrier?" she asked.

"I'm not sure honestly," Ichigo replied, his eyes looking at the forest above him, keeping an eye out for any attacks. Soon after, they saw the other shinigami waiting for them.

( glad it is finally out. I just need a 360 or a PS3. )

" Let me know when you need me Ichigo. " Hoshi said as she kept her senses high, having the feeling of being watched.

"Alright, I will," Ichigo said before he felt for where the barrier was with his hand. Once he found it, he closed his eyes and started concentrating.

Hoshi concentrated on Ichigo and kept focus , knowing she had to be ready for his signal, and remembering to keep aware of her surroundings.

As Ichigo concentrated, a small sphere of red energy appeared on the tips of his middle and index finger, growing in size the longer he concentrated. As soon as it was near a tennis ball in size, Ichigo let the energy out and hitting the barrier. A few seconds later, the sphere punched through the barrier, making the barrier collapse. Opening his eyes and panting lightly due to how much it took out of him to do that, he quickly noticed a small portion of his energy returning to him and thanked Hoshi for helping.

Hoshi nodded feeling a little drained after restoring part of Ichigo's energy. She knew it wouldnt prevent her from using her Shikai. She tensed up sensing something in the trees, knowing it wasn't a Shinigami, but wasn't sure if it was a Bount .

Asami jumped down from the trees, startling Hoshi and the others. "Sorry I was late, Tetsu-san told me what was going on and I hurried over here as fast as possible," the newest shinigami said.

" That alright Asami-chan." Hoshi said, glad it was her friend instead of a Bount, but was still wary about her surroundings. She wasn't sure what the plan was.

Ichigo was glad that it wasn't a Bount as well, especially since he had a limited amount of energy at the moment. However, he knew that they would have to fight eventually.

Soi-fon was startled to see Asami, but was glad she was here. She and the other captains needed to make sure Hoshi was safe while they rescued Tatsuki and Vincent. Getting him to trust the shinigami would be a difficult task and hoped that Hoshi would be able to build that trust , due to Hoshi being a Seer herself. She sensed something that was off and coulnt quite place it, keeping her senses open in case it was a Doll.

A few seconds later, the Bount holding the shield felt it collapsed around her as her doll rematerialized from around the house. "You didn't let them in too easily I hope," she said to which the doll nodded. This female didn't like the fact that their leader was trying to hurt an innocent Shinigami or hold a Seer captive and wanted him dead. However, she knew that with her power as it was right now, she couldn't even hope to take him on, nor anyone else in the group.

Hoshi followed the others and would do what ever they needed her to do. She kept having the feeling of being watched, not sure if it was just her mind playing tricks, or the feeling she usually got when things were about to change.

Ichigo noticed that Hoshi was tense and kept his eyes peeled. He wish he knew where Tatsuki was, instead of randomly searching room by room for them.

Hoshi looked in the rooms in search of Tatsuki. She tensed up when she heard voices coming from one of the rooms she was going to check and paused to listen to hear what they were saying, keeping her guard up.

Tatsuki was trying to talk or just do something to notify her friends where she was, hoping that it was enough.
