" Do you know when we need to be at Urahara's?" Hoshi asked as she handed Ichigo the bowl.

" Maybe we should head there a little bit after we finish. "Hoshi said taking a bite of cereal. Her dream from the night before kept bugging her for some reason and wondered the city she saw was." Ichigo. I hope the Vandenriech don't invade Soul Soicety. I fear if they do , bad things will happen. " Hoshi said, hoping that wasn't the reason she had that dream.

" I hope we can. Though the dream was peaceful, I got an eerie feeling like I was being watched. I don't like it when I dream like that. " Hoshi said as she finished up.

Hoshi nodded. She rinsed the bowl and put it in the dishwasher. She hoped that the Soul Society wouldn't be destroyed like she saw in her dream.

" I think we should." Hoshi said as she grabbed her key from the hook. She didn't want to tell anyone waht she feared would happen, not sure what the others would think about what she dreamed.

" I'm ready." Hoshi said with a smile. She had her guard up as they walked.


Saya hoped today would be calm, not wanting to be captured.

Ichigo nodded as well as they both set off for a brisk walk. Sensing that Hoshi had her guard up, he subconsciously placed his hand next to his badge.

Katniss yawned lightly as she made her way back towards Urahara's shop, tired from staying awake the whole night while patrolling the town for Hollows. She hoped that she would be able to take a small nap before something else happened. Making her way back to the shop, she headed inside.

Hoshi was glad when they were close to Urahara's and glad to sense Katniss a little but.


Katia sensed a unfamiliar shinigami and tensed up. She hoped it wasn't the one who was friends with Rue Collins, the girl she had taken.She now felt ashamed for her actions.

Katniss was too tired to sense the new arrival at the shop, hoping that her room was still free.

Ichigo sensed Katniss there as well and was glad to see that she was still hanging around. He also sensed Katia as well before a bad idea happened to cross his mind. What would happen if Katia captured Rue and Katniss found out.

Katia saw the others enter and gave a small smile. She wasn't as nervous as she had been the day before.

Katia waved back and was glad to see everyone again.

"Are we ready to begin? " Urahara asked. He was glad Katia was adjusting well. He was concerned what Katniss might think of Katia. He just hoped Katia wasn't the one who captured Rue .

( Sorry about taking so long. Lost internet temporarily because of some severe storms. )

From what I can tell she's holding up alright. Though she hasn't met Katia yet." Urahara said noticing how tense Katia looked.

(That's no problem. I was working on one of my characters during a limited time event in my MMO)

"What does Katia have to do with this conversation?" Tatsuki asked as she got here a few minutes ago. She had explained who Katia was to Orihime and Chad as they were walking to the shop.

( Sounds like fun.)
"I was the one who took Rue." Katia said in a whisper. " I was ordered to do it. I regret everything I did for the Vandenreich." Katia said solemnly. She knew that her past would always come back to haunt her.

(It is, especially with the new Male Mage class)

"But you regret what you did, right Katia-chan?" Orihime asked. If she was, then they would protect her from Katniss's wrath.

" I do regret what I did." Katia said solemnly. She would do everything in her power to help get Rue back. She hated the terrible things she had done.

"Then we'll help explain to Katniss-chan what happened and that you're going to help us get Rue-chan back," Orihime responded in a kind voice.

"Exactly what hime said," Tatsuki added on to what her friend said. "Although I have a high feeling that Katniss will be pissed when she hears what you did under orders, but we'll make sure she doesn't try to attack you."

" Thank you. " Katia said wiping the tears she had. She wasn't use to be treated with this much kindness.
