" I have a day left, but I know I'm close to achieving it." Katniss said. She wondered what her Bankai would look like.

"Alright. I promise to. I'll also look for more pictures of your parents. If either of you want pictures of your parents just let me know." Tetsu said to both Ishida and Katia.

"Good to hear. I wonder what it will look like," Ichigo commented.

"Thank you Uncle," Katia said, knowing that her uncle would keep the violin safe for her, as well as helping her see what her parents looked like.

"You are welcome. Would either of you like to stay over again tonight? Or if you don't I could drive you both home. There still will be training though it depends on how long Captain Soi-Fong is. " Tetsu offered to Ishida and Katia. He was glad that Hoshi was able to spend some time with her cousins. He knew eventually he would have to talk to Ryuken about the Vandenreich and if he wanted to help. He knew his brother-in-law's views but Tetsu knew they needed all the help they could get in this fight.

"Dad's probably working late again tonight, and I haven't heard from Saya-chan or her aunt in a while, so I assume they're both doing alright," he said nonchalantly. While he wouldn't mind sleeping in his own room in the lonely house, it did get on his nerves just a little, although he didn't show it. "I'm fine staying over here again Uncle, as long as you don't mind that is," he finally said.

"I would like that uncle," Katia said. She wouldn't admit it out loud, but recently Katniss was starting to scare her just a bit.

Ichigo bid Katniss a farewell before heading out of her room, a soft sigh coming out of his mouth as he did so. 'At least it isn't as bad as I originally thought. But still...she's entered phase 1,' he thought to himself as he remembered the mask that saved him from Renji's serrated blade. If it continued without being put into check, her Hollow would make an attempt to take control, just like his did.

" I don't mind. I'm enjoying having you both over. " Tetsu said with a smile.


Hoshi was glad to be spending time with her cousins. She had a feeling that Katia was safer here. Hoshi felt there was something different about the spirtual pressure of Katniss and it was making her uneasy.

"Thanks uncle," both Katia and Ishida said.

" What sounds good for dinner? We have pizza leftovers or I could make popcorn and we could watch movie. "


Hoshi had a feeling that tomorrow would go well with Soi-Fong but knew something bad might happen to Katniss.

Ichigo saw Kisuke and waved to him, wanting to let him know what was going on.

"Leftovers sound good to me uncle," Ishida replied as Katia nodded as well.

" How did it go?" Urahara asked and hoped it wasn't too late to help Katniss


" I'll get them heated up and bring them out. What would you like to drink?" Tetsu asked.

"Right now the mask is saving her from lethal damage, so she'll be okay to finish your crazy bankai training, but after that I think you should call Shinji and the others so that she can take care of her Hollow before it even attempts to take control over her.

"Whatever you have to drink is fine with me uncle," Ishida said.

" I'll let them know what's going on. " Urahara said, not sure if Ichigo knew that Shinji, Rojuro and Kensei had returned as captains. He wouldn't mention it, wanting Ichigo to be surprised

Hoshi went to the kitchen to help her dad and poured glasses of sprite.She put them on a tray and took them to the living room" The pizza should be ready soon. Dad put it in the oven to heat it up . Would either of you like to watch a movie tonight? Your pick." Hoshi said with a smile.

"Thanks Kisuke. After bankai training, they should be able to help her control it and after that we should test to see if her Bankai can be stolen." Ichigo said.

Ishida smiled a little as he got an idea. "Hoshi, do you have Mulan? I think Katia would like that movie a lot," he said.

" I do. " Hoshi said with a smile since Mulan was one of her favorite movies. She would try to think of some others that Katia might like.

" Sounds like a good idea. I'll let you know how things go after tomorrows training. " He said. Urahara was concerned that Katia might be in danger if Katniss became a Visard. He would have her stay with Tetsu for now. Urahara was glad that Katia had family here in Karakura.

"Thanks. I'm quite curious to see what her Bankai looks like to tell the truth," Ichigo said. "Also...I think Katia should stay with Tetsu-san for now, until Katniss has control over her Hollow," he added.

"Mulan?" Katia asked before seeing Ishida smile lightly. She had a feeling that her cousins were going to help in trying to recreate some childhood memories that she missed out on while she was with the Vandenreichs, silently hoping that no one was trying to actively look for her.

" Sounds good. She'll be safe there. I'm concerned that the Vandenreich might be looking for her and Yoruichi has offered to watch Katia when she comes here on Monday. Katia has been helping around the store and has been doing well adjusting to life here in the outside world." Urahara said. He knew Yoruichi also was concerned about Katia's safety.


Hoshi smiled too and helped her dad bring in dinner. She then got the movie set up so they could watch as they ate.

Ichigo chuckled lightly. "I guess Yoruichi considers herself Katia's adoptive mother or something like that," he said, glad that Katia would be safe come Monday. Even if he knew nothing about Soi-fong coming tomorrow to interrogate Katia. "Anyways, I should get going, especially since we're still going to be doing some training tomorrow," Ichigo said as he waved good-bye.

Katia and Ishida thanked Hoshi and their uncle as the movie started.

Urahara waved back and went back to looking at the disk. He had figured out how it worked and was close to finding a way to prevent a Bankai from being stolen.

Hoshi was having a good time watching the movie with her cousins and hoped Katia like the movie.

( sorry about taking so long. Was watching WH13 and fell asleep. )

Hoshi yawned a little bit once the movie was over.She knew she would need the rest to be ready for tomorrow. And hoped everything went well.

(I see. I usually tape the episodes and watch them either later tonight or tomorrow. Although I need to catch up on Alphas...I'm an episode behind)

Katia liked the movie a lot and was glad that Ishida had suggested it for them. Yawning lightly, she noticed that Hoshi had yawned as well. Knowing that she had the interrogation with Soi-fong tomorrow, Katia suggested that they all get some sleep.

" Sounds like a good idea Katia-chan. " Hoshi said with a tired smile.

" I'll get the futon ready for you Uryu-San. We'll all need to be rested for tomorrow " Tetsu said. He hoped the interrogation went well tomorrow knowing it would be very difficult for him not to interfere if it didn't.

" I would please."Hoshi said and gave a tired smile. She had a feeling tonight would be one where she would have a vision and hoped it wouldn't be a bad one.

" Thank you for the help Uryu-San. Hope you sleep good tonight. " Hoshi said with a smile.
