Ichigo had his hands in his pockets, wondering what Urahara wanted him for. All he got from the ex-captain was a message saying to come to the shop.
"I hope he's not in any trouble..." Katia said, slightly concerned. |
" I hope not either." Hoshi said.
" Glad you could make it Ichigo. You are probably wondering why I called you." Urahara said. |
"I am. What's going on old man?" Ichigo asked.
Tatsuki was working on a few swings, trying to get use to the heat of the flame, although she was also overhearing their conversation, at least when they brought Ichigo up. Taking a short break she walked towards them. "Knowing Strawberry-kun, he can take care of himself," Tatsuki said. |
" Katniss has achieved her Bankai and wants you to help with her Visard training. Would you be willing to help?"Urahara asked.
Hoshi agreed that Ichigo could take care of himself and didn't feel so worried. Though she still felt something was wrong. |
Ichigo blushed lightly, but quickly hid it. "She asked for me?" Ichigo asked, surprised.
|
" She did. I did contact the Visards today so he training starts tomorrow afternoon. I'm glad she trusts you enough to ask." Urahara said.
|
"Me too. I thought she would want to do this by herself, from the attitude she puts off," Ichigo replied.
|
"I think Katniss being stationed here has helped her open up a little bit. I don't know what happmed but I know something in her past still bothers her." Urahara said.
|
"Probably. Are the others here yet?" he asked. He knew that after the war that Shinji and the others were reinstated as a special fourteenth squad, but he didn't let Kisuke knew that he knew yet.
|
" They should be here soon. " Urahara said , wondering how Ichigo would react to the news of a new squad.
|
"Alright. I can wait, although I have a feeling that they're going to try and first 'create' Katniss's Hollow before they teach her how to control it," Ichigo said, knowing that the mask wasn't anything by itself, but it did signify the starting process.
|
" I think they will do that too. It's better to have that happen then the hollow develop on it's own. " Urahara said and saw Soi-Fong arrive. He wondered how things went with Katia.
|
Ichigo raised an eyebrow at the appearance of Soi-fong, wondering what she was doing here.
|
Urahara was looking forward to trying out his new invention hoping that it would work correctly. " I think we should let Katniss know that it's almost time to train. " He said looking at the clock.
|
Ichigo nodded lightly, although he noticed an interesting gleam in his eye. "Old man...what do you have planned?" he asked.
|
"I have a new invention I want to try out. I think it's a solution from keeping Bankai from being stolen. " He said.
|
"And this invention won't work on me since I already don't have to worry about that, I assume," Ichigo said deadpanned as Kisuke nodded.
"That's why I'm here," Soi-fong said curtly, "Although I'm also curious as to see what Katniss-san's Bankai is like," she added. |
" I'm curious too. Maybe I can test hers on the disk too. Are we ready to get started?"Urahara asked.
|
Both nodded, signifying that they were ready for just about anything.
|
" I'll just get Katniss. " He said and headed toward where Katniss was. " Katniss-San? Are you ready to begin training ?" Urahara asked.
|
"Born ready," Katniss said, once she heard Kisuke coming towards her. It was one of her habits as a hunter that carried over to her when she died...shaking her head quickly as some of the memories resurfaced.
|
" Are you alright? If you want to talk just let me know. " Urahara offered.
|
"No, it's nothing. Nothing at all," Katniss replied quickly. "Anyways, I'm ready. Can we go?" she asked.
|
" We can. " Urahara said and had everyone head to the training area. He hoped he could help Katniss.
|
Shinji had appeared, along with the others before everyone headed inside. "Just like old times, eh?" he asked before dodging a sandal to his face.
