"That's good to hear," Katia said with a smile, glad to know that her cousin was getting stronger. She knew that she would also have to get stronger, especially if the leader wanted her back.

" Maybe we can train together sometime this week. " Hoshi suggested. She wanted to help her cousin and knew the others did too.

"I'd like that," Katia said before taking a bite out of her piece of pizza.

Hoshi smiled and took a bite of her pizza. She was glad that Katia was happy here.

Katniss sighed lightly as she finally rested, having been patrolling for the past few days. 'Just a few minutes of rest...' she thought to herself before exhaustion finally took over. She had been pushing herself for too long now.

Travis Carter had just got some food for dinner and was taking a shortcut through the town. He wanted to be familiar with Karakura in case of any battles. He sensed a Shinigami nearby. He thought she looked familiar and went to see if she was alright. He looked around and was glad to see one around." Are you alright miss?" He asked concerned.

Katniss groggily woke up, reaching for her zanpakuto and quickly formed it into her bow before aiming it at the person who was in front of her as a reaction. Seeing that it was Tetsu's friend...Travis, if she remembered correctly, she lowered her bow. "Sorry...it's been a long night," she said, hiding a yawn behind a hand. She was about to ask how he could see her before remembering that he was one of the Quincy that were on their side.

" I bet. I sensed the Captains earlier today. Made me feel a bit uneasy. " Travis said. He had never felt that much spiritual pressure before, even if there were several captain level Shinigami in Karakura. " Would you like some help back to Urahara's ?" He asked , hoping she was alright.

Katniss nodded at the request, knowing it was better to accept the help instead of arguing, especially with how tired she was. She had felt the captains earlier today and it was because of them that she was out doing the extra patrolling. Not that she minded since everything was alright and she also had a feeling that she would have just been in the way otherwise.

Travis offered his hand and helped Katniss up. He knew it was important to forge a good alliance. He hoped that the other Shinigami would accept him as an ally once he met with the captains later this week." Ready to go?" He asked with a smile.

Katniss took the offered hand before being pulled to her feet by Travis. "I'm ready," she replied, having enough strength left in her body to be able to walk, not wanting to rely on Tetsu's friend too much. Just showing him this much weakness of hers was more than she usually allowed...except maybe Ichigo, but he was a special case.

Travis understood that Katniss didn't want to appear weak but knew that it took a lot of courage to accept his help. He was glad to see the shop in the distance. He wanted to ask Urahara about the meeting with the captains.

Katniss saw the shop in the distance as well and sighed lightly in relief. She would be glad just to fall asleep on the cot that Urahara provided for her.

" Would you like help inside." Travis asked. He wanted to ask Urahara about the meeting that was tomorrow. He knew Captain Hitsugaya would be there but didn't know who else would be. He usually wasn't this uneasy about situations.

"I'm not going to fall over anytime soon, but if you have business with Urahara-san, then I won't stop you from following me," Katniss replied.

Travis followed Katniss inside and gave a wave to Urahara. " I'm sorry if I'm bothering you Urahara-san, but I was wondering a out the other two captains that will be there tomorrow for the meeting here. " Travis asked. He felt bad for asking bit he wanted an idea on how to prepare.

Katniss also gave a wave to Urahara, but lacked the usual strength that she had. Hoping that her room was free, she headed towards it. "Anyone in there?" she asked. After waiting a few minutes of hearing nothing, she went inside before falling down onto the mattress, instantly falling into a dreamless sleep.

Kisuke saw that Katniss was practically dead on her feet as he returned the wave, making a mental note to soundproof her room before the meeting tomorrow, knowing that she needed the sleep. "From what I've been able to gather, Byakuya-san is definitely coming and originally Katniss' captain was coming as well, but knowing how bloodthirsty Kenpachi can be, I'll send a request in to send someone else, most likely Unohana," Kisuke replied, knowing that Travis had nothing to worry about, especially since he was fighting for them rather than against them.

(I believe that's the squad we put Katniss in, but I could be wrong)

( You're right.)

" That's probably for the best. I don't want to cause any trouble." Travis said feeling a bit better." Thank you for letting me know. I'm usually not so tense but Karakura has much more spiritual pressure than I'm use to. But I'll adapt." Travis said.

Travis nodded. " I better get going. My wife should be calling and telling my when she and my kids will be arriving. I finally found us a place to live. I know my kids will adjust here fine. " Travis said.

Melinda was nervous as she made her way to the meeting room. She hoped her idea of capturing a Seer had been accepted. She knocked on the door and waited to be asked in.

Katniss slept peacefully, not even her Hollow could have waked her if she wanted to.

The Leader heard the knock and issued Melinda to come inside.

" Ready for bed Katia-chan?" Hoshi asked after they had watched tv for a little bit. She had a strange feeling about something but couldn't figure out what it was. She shook the feeling away not liking it when they happened. Hoshi knew they often caused a vision.

Katia nodded to Hoshi's question, hiding a yawn. She also had a strange feeling, wondering if it would lead to a vision, and if it did, to what.
