" I'm okay. I just have a strange feeling about something." Hoshi said honestly.

Hoshi nodded and went back to studying. She hoped it was just one of the random feelings she sometimes got.


" So how did your testing go?" Urahara asked and hoped to see Katia's scores. He knew from there that curriculum could help Katia with the subjects she struggled with and also help improve the ones she was good in.

Ichigo went back to studying himself, knowing that Hoshi would tell him if anything was going to happen.

"It went alright, although there were some things that I didn't quite understand," Katia said, wondering if he wanted to see her scores.

If it was anyone else who asked that question, Katia would have said that she would work on it on her own. However, since Kisuke helped her with pretty much everything up to this point in time, she figured it was the least she could do. "I'm a little confused about this here..." she said as she pointed to the English text.

"I think it would be a good idea," she said, knowing that both her uncle and Kisuke could help.

"I still have a few more subjects to take, but I'll let you know if I need any help Kisuke-san," Katia said as she finished her lunch, finding out that she enjoyed the taste of shrimp.

Katia nodded, knowing that both Yoruichi and Kisuke would keep her safe. "I still think it would be a good idea that they don't know I'm here, unless someone senses me," she said. To her, it was a smart idea, especially since she didn't want to cause trouble to Kisuke or anyone else in the shop.

Katia giggled lightly at what Kisuke said, having a feeling that some of his experiments could get a little crazy if anyone messed with them. "Thanks Kisuke-san," she said.

"I'd like some more, please," Katia said.

Kisuke smiled and served more shrimp to Katia. He hoped that they would be able to hold off the next Vandenriech attack when it came.
( sorry about taking so long. Wasn't feeling well last night. )

(I hope that you are feeling better now Hill-chan)

Katia thanked Kisuke before starting to eat, wondering what Hoshi and the others were doing. And even if she didn't want to admit it to herself, she wondered where Katniss had been for the last couple of days.

( I'm feeling better. thank you. I think it was just all the stress I had from one of the classes I'm taking this quarter. It's very hard and I really want a good grade in it.)

Hoshi was glad that today was an early release day and wondered what everyone wanted to do. She hoped they would be able to train.

(I know those types of sickness...sucks, doesn't it?)

Ichigo was glad that today was an early release day, wondering what to do with the other half of the day.

( it does. I've had a ton of anxiety this quarter because of this class. My other two classes are easy comparedto it. But since I got my paper done finally I can relax a bit. )

Hoshi joined the others and hoped they agreed with her idea. " How does training sound for this afternoon?" She asked.

(yay!)

"It sounds like a good idea Star-chan," Tatsuki said, knowing that she could use help with the new technique that Ryuuzetsu was showing her.

Hoshi was glad that everyone agreed. " I know my dad will let us use his training area today. " Hoshi had the feeling that other Shinigami were here and didn't want to interfere with anything.

Katia tensed up when the other Shinigami arrived. She didn't want to be found while she was taking her tests.

Byakuya appeared in Kisuke's shop, knowing that all the captains were summoned here by the ex-captain of the scientist division.

Yoruichi knew that Katia was a little nervous with all the captains here in one place and stayed with her, hoping that her presence would have a calming effect on the girl

" Glad to see you captain. Are the others on their way?" Urahara asked.He was glad Yoruichi was keeping Katia company.4

Katia felt calmer with Yoruichi there with her and was able to concentrate better on her tests.
