Oh I See... {isshin}

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana really was becoming more and more frustrated with the Quincy, some leader got angry and waged war, though who started the first one, them or the Shinigami? She understand if he was angry and wanted revenge for his people but well they were an in-balance to society. Her eyes quickly widened at her thoughts, oh but she didn't think Ichigo or his sisters or Uryu were an in-balance... just more when the Quincy killed a Hollow, yea yea that's what she had meant.

"You know he kind of sounds a little desperate" Ana said quietly tapping her chin but there was no doubt the guy was old, he probably had hundreds of years planning this war, he'd be ready for anything... well nearly. They just had to try think one step ahead, ah she had no doubt they would win this war and send Juha to the grave. Ok maybe she doubted a little, just a little.

Glancing to Isshin she blinked for a moment and gave a small smile "I think you have said that once before you know. It would have been nice to have met her. I am sure one day I will... though she might tell me embarrassing stories about you, hope you're prepared for that." Ana stretched her hands out for a moment before frowning a little. She did wonder what Ichigo's mother was like, Isshin had mentioned her before and told her a little but only a little, Ichigo never spoke about her and Ana never asked as she always figured if he wanted to talk he would but he was stubborn.

Spotting Urahara up ahead she had to wonder how he knew they were coming, ah he must have felt their presence, yea. How else would he know... maybe his ears had been burning as they'd been talking about the old bat a little bit. Watching the two men for a moment she made a small face before raising an eyebrow at Urahara. Yea as if he had hundreds of ears. She could have said something witty to that but best not to give the old man any more fuel for the fire now was there. "Which one?" Ana asked him following him into the shop, the fact they wanted to go to Hueco Mundo, or the Quincy attacks or Ichigo's families secret or... well the list went on. It had to be the first one though right?

"So I was thinking maybe you could make the portal to Hueco Mundo for us and then I can bring us back?" she said more asking than anything, last time she had gone to Hueco Mundo she had been scowled for it.

[Kurosaki Isshin]

There was only so much he and Urahara could do for Soul Society the two of them had been exiled and banned but still they tried to keep the balance because they too could lose their lives if Quincies took over Soul Society so they would all have to pull together no matter what position you held everyone was needed for the sake of not only human existence but the world as they knew it today. It wasn't good to have Quincies roaming around if they won they would most likely have to kill all Quincy to avoid them revolting again and rebelling to this scale.

Isshin let a grin spread across his face yeah the man did seemed desperate, he had been planning this take down ever since the beginning and it was all carefully thought out so what did he have planned, had he looked at Soul Society's defence at all angles figured out who was the toughest fighters and who would prove a problem in their invasion he was aware they made a note of five war potentials that were to be those who could put an stop to their plans and did that mean that the Quincies had a plan to eliminate each of the 5 war potentials.

Isshin let out a small chuckle ''I have haven't I! I think a part of me still cant let go of her....silly I know'' he said. ''Oh she will tell you loads of stories there are so many'' he said. ''Ichigo never tells you anything about her does he'' he sighed a little. It was probably best his son didn't talk about her because he usually became distressed and seeing him like that wasn't like him.

Seeing Urahara Isshin gave him a life of his hand in a sort of wave as the two had a nod of acknowledgement and of course Urahara had given Ana the impression he had hundreds of ears to hear all, but he was just super good at detecting anyone's reaitsu assessing its density, size and stability all to detect who it was and if he could go up against them in battle so he could already tell if he was a match for whoever's reaitsu cropped up. Urahara glanced toward Ana ''Well I know of many situations but one at a time...the war of course and what we can learn from the new Quincies'' he said. But he knew that little was known about these new super Quincy and what they were capable of but that was where this little trip would help. Hueco Mundo was overthrown by Quincies and it was what Soul Society could look like had the Quincies won.

Urahara nodded ''Sure, I can make a portal'' he said as he walked towards the trap door opening it up to reveal his underground basement.

[Shoshi Ana]

Smiling a little Ana shook her head, it was nice to know he still loved and cared for his wife so much. I mean it'd be nice to see the man be happy with someone else too but that was not her choice to make that was his, only he could move on completely if he wanted to. Oh was he afraid to? Well that kind of made sense. She quickly shook her head to stop herself thinking any further. When Ichigo's name popped up Ana looked over to Isshin and frowned a little before lightening her expression. "No. I don't blame him though, I don't talk about my parents to him either. I mean sometimes I try but then I think he wont care or doesn't want to hear it and it's rude of me to offload to him. But I get it I really do. And besides I think he might slowly be opening up to me a little you know" she beamed at Isshin "Why he told me all about the stuff you told him like a minute after you told him, that's progress. Granted it's taken several years but still.". Well he had not told her everything, like she was unsure if Ichigo knew he was part of a royal family, the sucker! Ana knew but she was playing dumb, just as she had when Ichigo told her about Juha and his quincy nature.

Of course coming across Urahara and his ear comment had Ana wondering for a moment before she asked which situation, naturally he knew about them. Letting out a small sigh she had to wonder why she asked sometimes. The guy was too smart for his own good. Looking up suddenly "Are you going to be coming with us?" she asked him. She had to wonder for a moment if he was. What exactly was it he knew they could learn from the Quincies? Maybe she had miss heard him, wouldn't surprise her.

Urahara agreed to open the portal for them and for a moment Ana blinked. Wait no hesitation to allow them to go, no rules or speech or... oh right she was going with Isshin, that was probably why. Normally she was sneaking off with Ichigo or the others, this time she was going with another adult and suppose Urahara knew about this so made sense he was not having at it. Not that Ana was complaining mind you. "You're the best. I'll bring you back something for the trouble" Ana said waving her hand like it was nothing. Maybe capture a quincy and bring them back for Urahara to do whatever it was scientists did.

Walking down the stairs to the basement Ana looked around "Ah this brings back memories... why I remember that time when..." she glanced over forgetting Isshin was there before spotting him and quickly shut her mouth "never mind" she mumbled and waited for them.

[Kurosaki Isshin]

Isshin never really thought the loss of a family member ever went away, it lessened over time but remained forever and he would always care for her despite not being around. He hadn't even thought of finding someone new it didn't feel right at this time he had plenty on his agenda with a wayward son and two girls to run circles round him. He looked up and over at Ana with a reaffirming nod ''Yeah, its not something so easily spoken about....'' he began but he paused as she described how it may be difficult for her to talk to Ichigo about her parents he furrowed ''I have only ever told him to hear people out, he would want to help you im sure because he understands how it feels....'' he said. Sometimes it helped to listen and talk to someone who had an ide of how you felt about a point in your life. From a young age Isshin taught all of his children to help others. ''Sure he might be surprised you choose him to talk to because well lets face it he's not the first person you would go to, but he's listening even if he acts like he doesn't care im pretty sure he thinks highly of you Ana'' he nodded at his statements.

It appeared she had got a little bit closer to Ichigo by getting him confide in her more, his expression said that of a 'Wow' look he was surprised but everyone needed someone to offload to. He let a big grin spread across his face yes it had taken several years so it seemed. ''You'd think he would show all of his personality to a friend of several years...'' he laughed. ''Ha but that's the funny thing about it'' he continued.

In Urahara shop they were making preparations for the experimentation journey to Hueco Mundo. Urahara looked blankly at Ana as she requested if he'd be joining them he shook his head. ''Oh no, I think you are in the most capable hands of Isshin over here'' he smiled. Isshin frowned ''Well I thought you were going to be harsh then...'' he said. This would hopefully answer questions that surrounded the new breed of Quincies emrging they weren't like any of the ordinary bow and arrow ones.

Heading down into the basement Urahara lead Isshin and Tessai towards the large square shaped pillars of stone, snapping his finger on the stone the portal activated and visioned a black hole endless in destination. ''I have plenty of healing apparatus for you Isshin in case of emergency...'' he said tossing him a small brown bag that was fastened at the top. Catching it Isshin nodded. ''Oh and be careful don't die now!'' Urahara said with a smile looking to Ana offering to bring him something back for his troubles ''Oh not at all...this is for the good of mankind you're doing more than enough'' he said. Both Isshin and Urahara went silent and looked at Ana hearing her trail off her sentence both of them knew what the end of that sentence would be. ''That was dangerous now wasn't it'' Isshin sighed.

[Shoshi Ana]

Indeed it was not but it sometimes helped to talk about it. Isshin sure seemed to love talking about his wife which was nice, it meant he still loved and cared for her a great deal and was not afraid to talk about her. She admired that about him. "That's the problem though. Sometimes talking about your own loss can bring up the memories of the other persons loss and they may not want that" she said. Orihime was different, she could talk to Orihime, she still had to tell Orihime about her parents really but her friend sometimes talked about her parents to her so Ana owed her really. Orihime was after all like a sister to her.

Smirking to herself for a moment she waved her hand "You kidding I start talking to him and he's all Ana you talk too much" she said trying to mimic Ichigo before laughing a little. Though in all fairness she did talk too much sometimes. Though like his father he listened. Sure Isshin talked back more though, it's why it was so easy to talk to the old man, he actually talked back and understood what you were saying.

Ana soon after entered the building and headed for the basement, she was telling the truth though it did indeed bring back memories, not all good but most were. Looking over to Urahara she asked if he was coming too. Ah the chicken wasn't going to come, suppose that was a good thing in a way, he could stay here and help everyone here and cover for them. Knowing him he'd come up with some crazy story as to where Ana and Isshin were. Hmm maybe it was best to tie him up and lock him away until they got back then, nah he'd probably enjoy that.

She watched Urahara hand Isshin a bag of 'goodies' so to speak and frowned "Oh I see you give your buddy a bad of supplies but when me and Ichigo run off to Hueco Mundo we get nothing but a lecture" she said folding her arms and shook her head. Ah well in all fairness normally they were all running off in secret, least this time Urahara knew they were going. Mind you it was kind of strange to be going to such a dangerous place without Ichigo, instead she was going with his dad... oh this would be interesting she'd get to see Shinigami Isshin in action for a first!

Ana wasn't going to let either of them die, that was just not acceptable now was it. She nodded her head though when he said he didn't need anything brought back Ana frowned a little, hmm, she'd still try find him something to bring back, she wanted information too so getting something to study was better than nothing, even if it was a file or a weapon or anything really. When Isshin spoke up Ana waved her hand "I know I know." she looked to Isshin and gave him the thumbs up "We'll be fine though, so let's get this show on the road and find out some details huh. The sooner the better and you have to get home for your girls so we can't keep them waiting" she added. Least the girls would get to spend some time with Ichigo.
