"Alright. Thanks," he said before heading off from the three girls. Following his senses, he came to where he felt a strong amount of reiatsu. Looking around, he finally saw a Shinigami sitting on a tree branch.

Hoshi hoped Ichigo would be alright. " You okay Rue-chan?" She asked her small friend. She was worried about all of her friends it seemed today. To her ,everyone had seemed tense about the feeling in the air.

"I...think I know who the shinigami is that has been following us," Rue said, looking down lightly for not telling Hoshi earlier.

" You do Rue-chan? Who do you think it is? " Hoshi asked in a kind voice.

"I think it might be a friend of mine from when I was alive. She was like a mother to me although I never told her that while I was living. Her name was Katniss," Rue said.

" That's a pretty name. Is she nice?" Hoshi asked , feeling concerned about Ichigo for some reason.

"It...depends on who you ask. She was quite nice to me though," Rue said, hoping that her old friend wouldn't give her new friend to much trouble.

"I can see you, you know?" Ichigo deadpanned to the shinigami up in the tree.

Hoshi unlocked the door to her house, hoping that everything would go well with Katniss and Ichigo. "Would you guys like to watch a movie?" She asked Tatsuki and Rue.

"What did you have in mind Hosh?" Tatsuki asked.

Katniss looked down at the orange-haired boy, semi-impressed. Of course she wouldn't let him know, just yet anyways. "Your point?" she responded.

" Not sure really. How about " My Neighbor Totoro? What would you guys like to watch." Hoshi asked.

"Works for me, and I think Rue-chan would like it," Tatsuki responded.

Is every new female shinigami a pain in the rear when I first meet them? he asked himself before staring at her. "Which also means you know what's going on. Why are you hiding...better yet, stalking, us?" He asked, trying to keep his temper.

Hoshi smiled and got the movie off the shelf and put it in the DVD player. "Hope you like this movie Rue. " She said with a smile.

"I have my reasons, Kurosaki," Katniss responded as she jumped down to the ground, not wanting to tell them about her connection to Rue, not yet anyways. "I'll be keeping my eye on you, just in case you need my help. Let Arisawa-san know that she doesn't have long before the nightmares make her a permanent shinigami," she said before vanishing.

Rue nodded, before paying attention to the movie once it started.

Hoshi sensed Ichigo coming closer and hoped that things did go well.

Ichigo entered Hoshi's house with a small scowl on his face. However, when he saw the three girls watching a movie, he grinned just a bit.

Hoshi was glad to see Ichigo was alright. " We just started. " Hoshi said in a whisper.

"I see," Ichigo whispered back before making himself comfortable next to Hoshi. He knew it was an old cartoon movie, but it was something that he adored as a kid, although he would never admit it under torture or death.

Hoshi liked this movie very much as a kid . It was the first Miyazaki movie her mom had let her see. Hoshi smiled at the memory of getting the tape for her birthday one year. She hoped Rue liked it.

Rue sat and watched the movie silently, enjoying every second of it.

Tetsu arrived home and was glad to see everyone having a good time watching a movie. " Hope everything is going well." He said once the movie was over.


( Happy Easter.:)

(Happy Easter!)

"That depends on your definition of 'well,'" Ichigo said, still annoyed with the encounter of that shinigami. He also realized that he never got a name from her.

" What do you mean?" Tetsu asked. He sensed Tatsuki feeling weak, hoping they still had time to help her. He didn't want her to lose the life she had as a human.

Ichigo what happened with the mysterious shinigami.

Testu knew this was serious." I guess we have less time than we thought we did. How long have you had these dreams Tatsuki ?" Tetsu asked, concerned.

"It started about a week ago, but I didn't think anything about it until that voice talked to me," Tatsuki said.
