Shuhei and Uryu followed the five into a large training room, both feeling really uneasy. "You are aware that the Quincy's are striking tomorrow night. At your current power levels your both useless." said one. They both looked slightly offended but didn't argue.
"Now you understand that all of the great vampires each have a spechial ability that earned them that rank correct?!" asked Hikifune. They both nodded.
"Then you can figure out what we're going to do. You will both reach that level before we leave this room." they told the stunned boys.

Kensei stormed around the small room in frustration. "What the hell are you still doing here?!" he spat at Isshin. Isshin smiled as he came out of the shaddows.
"You worry too much Kensei." he said. Kensei raised an eyebrow.
"You think!? Those boy's are like my son's! And I thought you left!" Kensei added, frustrated that the man was still there. Isshin nodded.
"I did, just to see where they Quincy's were. They're closing in, they'll be here by tomorrow night like they said." Isshin said. Kensei paled. This was their last night of peace then. "You know they won't kill Uryu right?" Issin asked.
"What are you talking about?!" Kensei asked. Isshin sighed.
"They won't kill Uryu, not on purpose. You see, they need him. Ryuken, beleive it or not, does love his son and doesn't want to see him get hurt. The reason they are attacking us is for their power struggle. The Quincy's had three pure blood families. The Bach, the Ishida, and the Kurosaki. After the Kurosaki died out the Ishida family had full power, bu Juhabach is trying to take control. Ryuken is leading a campane against the vampires, figuring that if he wipes us out entirly the few who follow Juhabach will leave him and that will end that dispute. Juhabach however is figuring the same thing. Also, if he does kill Ryuken, then that won't help him much since his followers will turn to the next leader, Uryu. So if he can capture Uryu, and use him like a puppet, then he can rule the Quincy's. They are trying to wipe us out as a show of their ower." Isshin said.
"So the kid's still a tool?" Kensei growled. Isshin said nothing. "I will kill them. I will kill them all." Kensei growled.
"Like I said though, Ryuken really does love his son!" Isshin said.
"Where did you pull that from? Your ass? Besides how do you know all this anyway?! I know you spend a lot of time over their, and I've heard Uryu mention you in the past as a friend of his fathers, but I never said anything figuring you were spying. Now I don't beleive that's the case. Spill it Isshin Kurosaki! I want to know your connection to the Quincy family you mentioned." Kensei snarled. Isshin sighed.
"Misaki was my wife and the head of the Kurosaki family. She was supposed to marry the Ishida head, Ryuken, but like Uryu she disagreed with much of the Quicy ways and fell away from the traditons. She met me, a vampire whome she was supposed to kill, and instead we fell in love. I married her and a few years later she got injured and died. Ryuken wasn't such a bad guy and even though we didn't fully see eye to eye, for Masaki's sake, I'd keep track of him. He had a young son with his wife Katagiri, his name was Uryu. I watched after him, recognizing the same spirit in him as I did in Masaki. When he wanted to leave I helped him out, and when he was attacked by the vampire, I brought him to Kisuke, the only vampire I knew to find you. You recognized him for what he was and asked him to join your team. The rest is history as they say." Isshin said. Kensei nodded with a heavy sigh.
"This isn't going to be easy you know. People will die." Kensei said.
"Yeah, I just hope it's not the children." said Isshin.
"Waasn't Masaki also Ryuken's cusion?!" asked Kensei suddenly.
"So you heard that too huh?! Yeah, that makes Uryu and Ichigo second cusions." Isshin said. Kensei gave Isshin a strange look.
"Now that doesn't make sense. How is it that Ichigo is a hundred yet his mother was around only thirty years ago, as was his father?!" Kensei growled.
"Don't you pay attention?! Quincy's age much slower than the normal human Kensei! Damn, even I knew that before I met Maskai." Isshin said. Kensei nodded.
"I see, I guess that explains so much." he said. Isshin looked towards the training room door.
"Well I gotta go, I'll see ya again Kensei." he said, and with that, he was gone again. Kensei looked towards the door agian, silently wishing the boys luck before he went to bed.

Shuhei and Uryu collapsed in a sigh of releif. They did it! They actually did it! "Good, now you need to get some rest. The Quincy's will be here in a few hours." Hikifune said. The two nodded and ran off to their room, reading to rest. As they ran, they went past Lisa, Mashiro, Nanao, and Orihime. They tried not to giggle at their excitement of just a few hours of rest. Orihime couldn't help but think of the last battle they had. They had watched the fireworks right before hand. It was nice and something that she'd never forget. Now was an even fiercer war on it's way. She shivered.
"It'll be alright Orihime. We will win." Nanao said. She smiled to her friend for her encouragement. Orihime nodded. Suddenly an alarm went off. Everyone came running out of their sleeping spots. The sun was barley setting in the horizon and with it the Quincy's lined the place. They were here, and the war had begun!
Thank you so much invisable ink, mary lou, and Saya Kotsu. In all honesty I almost gave up on this, but I want to finish it. I'm starting up the fighting so if they'res any characters anyone want's safe from death let me know, cause I'm actually gonna kill off a good few. I'm going to appologise ahead of time. Sorry! And I'm sorry for the long wait. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
