Hoshi was glad it was Captain Unohana and felt she could trust her. She still felt shy around those she didn't know but still would be respectful. Hoshi still felt a little dizzy, but not as much as she was earlier. She also had the feeling that she would be needed soon, but wasn't sure for what.

Tatsuki relaxed after seeing that it was the fourth captain and the fact that the more experienced fuku-taichou was happy to see her captain. "Unohana-taichou?" she asked, wondering what brought her over here.

" Checking to see that you are doing alright after you fainted Tatsuki-san ."Capatain Unohana said with a kind smile. She had sensed the change in Tatsuki's reiatsu while she had fought off a Bount with a plant based Doll. She knew the other captains would be here soon to discuss the next phase of the plan.

Tatsuki was surprised that the captain was concerned about her well being and mentioned it to the captain as well. Hearing an explosion in the distance, she hoped that Ichigo was okay.

Hoshi also hoped Ichigo was okay. She kept sensing strong reiatsu heading towards them, wondering who else would be here. Hoshi sensed Junko was getting, hoping she would make good on her promise. Hoshi also hoped that the captains agreed to her idea to find Vincent.

Ichigo ducked under the leader's wild axe swing and swung up with Zangestsu, cutting the axe in two. However, he didn't see the doll until the last second behind him. "Gah!" Ichigo shouted as he used his blade to shield himself from the explosion as best he could before sprinting away from the area, his danger senses going haywire.

Hoshi sensed the evil presence , assuming it was the lead Bount. She knew he still was alive, but the other Bount had been defeated. Hoshi had the feeling he would try to prevent them from getting to Vincent. She didn't want to be captured and was ready to help fight to make sure she wasn't. She knew there were more Shinigami than when the fighting started , causing her to be tense.

(I thought the leader was the evil presence that Hoshi felt. Anyways, I'm going to bed for the night. I'll see you after another annoying day at work. I have a feeling it's just going to be me and my supervisor again...not fun)

( It is the leader she senses. Sorry about the confusion. Hope your day went better. I changed my last post a little bit . I hope it makes more sense.)

(thanks for clearing that up and my day was a little better, I'm glad you cared)

Ichigo sensed other shinigami around him fighting other Bounts as his battle went on. He was tiring, but he also noticed that the leader was also getting slower as their battle went on. Soon it would only be a matter of who more stamina and the will to keep fighting.

( Glad your day was better.:) )
Junko was gaining strength and knew soon she would have to make good on her promise. She hoped that she would be allowed to help.

(Thanks ^_^)

Isane noticed that Junko was getting better, especially now that she had her Captain to help heal the Bount's wounds. Unohana wondered as to why Hoshi had saved the Bount female and asked the young Seer.

" I wasn't able to sense Vincent while I was helping Ichigo look for Tatsuki. I have a feeling that the Bount might be concealing Vincent's reiatsu so no one can sense it. Junko-San was following us and was badly injured. I offered get her help , if she promised to help us find Vincent. . " Hoshi said respectfully to Captain Unohana. Hoshi knew that there might be another plan to get Vincent and would understand if her idea was rejected. She did feel nervous as she spoke.

"That is an interesting theory that you have Hoshi-san," Unohana said as she noticed Junko slowly rising from her seated position. From what she understood, hiding or concealing another's reiatsu was unheard of. To do it one needed to be extremely powerful or have a mastery in skills such as Kidou. "Your plan has merit Hoshi-san and I do hope that Junko-san will hold up her part of the bargain," the captain said as she felt Ichigo's reiatsu return to normal, wondering if that meant his battle was done.

Hoshi nodded glad that Captain Unohana liked her idea,though she knew the other captains might not like it. Hoshi hoped she would be allowed to help. She saw Junko sitting up , and saw her looking worried about something.

Junko knew the barrier sealing the room Vincent was in would be impossible for her alone to break. It had been Hirose who had put it up and hoped there was someone with the knowledge to break it.

Ichigo used another Black Getsgua Tenshou after kicking the leader back, making him take the full front of the attack. Ichigo was able to put a spiral onto the Getsuga, causing it to pierce the leader's chest, killing him instantly.

Soi-fon had finished her fight and was heading toward to where Captain Unohana was . She still sensed a Bount presence as she got closer . She wondered why there was a Bount there and hoped there was a good reason.

After Ichigo finished his battle, he noticed that there was still one more Bount left. What concerned him the most though was the fact that this Bount's signature was close to both Tatsuki and Hoshi.

Hoshi felt the captains that had been sent here to fight start to come closer. She also sensed Ichigo coming toward them. Hoshi knew that soon she would have to explain her plan.

Junko felt tense as the other captains approached. She knew that they could hurt her if they didn't want her help.

Tatsuki turned her attention towards the Bount. Why she may not have liked them as a whole, she remembered each one that had hurt her, and this Bount in front of her was not one of them. "Relax. I'm pretty sure that Unohana-taichou won't let anyone hurt her patient, enemy or friend," she said, hoping to calm Junko down.

Junko nodded at Tatsuki. She had remembered how the other Bount had hurt Tatsuki. Junko didn't want to hurt her, and gave the excuse that she had to keep the barrier up. Junko saw the captains arrive and wondered what would happen next.

Ichigo headed towards the site where Hoshi and Tatsuki were, along with the other captains. He was curious as to why they were all there arguing amongst themselves. Probably something to do with the Bount Ichigo thought to himself as he got closer.

Hoshi knew it would soon be her turn and explain why she had saved Junko. She saw Ichigo arrive and was glad to see him.

Byakuya was waiting for a reasonable explanation to come from the Seer. To him, it seemed as this was her idea, if she couldn't explain it exactly, then she would die just like the other Bounts that tried attacking him earlier. It was a little harsh coming from him, but he knew that the Bount were nothing more than what humans called Vampires and shouldn't be able to live long lives.

"Hoshi-chan? What's going on?" he asked.

Hoshi knew she had to have a reasonable explanation. " When we were rescuing Tatsuki and I saw Junko-San following us, I offered to get her help for her injuries. I knew somehow that she had been attacked by another Bount and that she would know where Vincent is. I had her promise to help us find him. I couldn't sense Vincent while I was in the house. I have a feeling that his spirtual energy is being concealed somehow so we can't find him." Hoshi said feeling nervous.

" I do know where Vincent is being held. It wont be easy to get to him though. " Junko said hoping she was allowed to speak. She knew they wouldn't find him if she didn't show them where he was.
