Tetsu smiled and called in the order. " It should be at the house once we get inside and settled. I'm so glad that you are safe. " He said.

"You are?" Katia asked.

" I am. I was worried when I sensed the captains today. I don't want you to be harmed because you were once part of the Vandenriech. " Tetsu said.

"You thought the captains were there to take me?" Katia asked.

" Not really But I don't trust what one of them would do. I can trust that there are captains that will do anything to keep you safe." Tetsu said.

"Which one?" Katia asked. She had a feeling she knew which one her uncle was talking about, but wanted to make sure.

" Captain Hitsugaya. I know Captain Kuchiki will also. There's only one you really need to worry about and that's Kurostuchi-teme. " Tetsu said hoping that either Kisuke or Uryū had said something about him. He was the only captain that Tetsu detested.

Katia nodded. "I read about him...he was the only one that Leader wanted to try and recruit," she said. She also knew that if he was given a chance, he would definitely want to experiment on both herself and Hoshi.

" Why is that? " Tetsu asked curoius. He knew Mayuri-teme wasn't a traitor but would do anything for his experiments. He sighed at the thought.

"Because Mayuri always got results and wasn't afraid to experiment on anything, or anyone," Katia replied.

" That's true but I'm afraid the Vandenreich would have regretted recruiting him. I don't wish even my enemies to have to suffer from Mayuri. " Tetsu said as he pulled in the drive way.

Katia giggled at that. "Probably be worse for them if they did recruit him," she said as she got out of the car. She assumed that her uncle wanted Hoshi's input on what to get on the pizza/pizzas as well.

(Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you had a good one. )

Hoshi was glad to see both her dad and Katia arrive and agreed on pizza. She liked most toppings. "Would you like a salad to go with it?" she asked.

" That would be good. What do you think Katia?" Tetsu asked.

Katia thought that it was a good idea to have a salad as well and nodded at the suggestion.

" Would you like to help?" Hoshi asked Katia. She was glad that things were going well with Katia here.

"I would like to help, if you don't mind showing me what to do," Katia said.

" I'll show you. It will be simple salad. " Hoshi said getting out the lettuce and a tomato , along with two knives and the cutting board. " First you take the lettuce and put it on the cutting board. Try to get the pieces small enough so they don't need to be cut." Hoshi said demonstrating." Now you try." She said moving aside so Katia could try.

Katia nodded as she watched her cousin cut the lettuce and tomatoes before trying herself, hoping that she was doing it correctly.

" You did great job. Now put some lettuce in each of the three bowls. " Hoshi said after she put some lettuce in a small bowl. " And then repeat with the tomato. "

"Thanks," Katia said with a smile, glad that she did it right before doing what Hoshi said and followed her directions.

" Would you like salad dressing? We have ranch , honey mustard and a spicy wasabi. " Hoshi said as she got them out.

Tetsu paid for the pizza and brought it to the kitchen. " You girls did good. " He said with a smile.

"I'll take honey mustard please," Katia said as she thanked her uncle for the compliment. She was adjusting well to having a normal sort of life.

Hoshi opened the honey mustard and got the plates out for the pizza. She put them on the table and then got forks. " Ahow was your day Katia-chan?" Hoshi asked.

"It was alright. I had to take a test, although if it weren't for Yoruichi-sama, I'd be scared when all the captains came," Katia said. "What about you Hoshi-chan?"

" Same here . Trained a little bit today. " Hoshi said as she sat down to eat. She was glad Katia had been safe.
