Katniss was curious as to why Hoshi thought she would be angry with her. She knew that it was in this house that Rue was kidnapped, but it wasn't as if Hoshi opened the door or something along those lines. "Why would I be mad?" she asked, confused.

" Because Rue got captured." Hoshi said, feeling sad. She knew it wasn't anyone's fault that Rue got captured. Her dad told her no matter how strong the barrier was , they would still would have been able to take Rue. She understood it wasn't anyone's fault, but she still felt guilty.

"It's not your fault Hoshi-san," Katniss spoke up after a few minutes. As much as she did want to blame Hoshi and her father for letting Rue get captured, it wasn't their fault. It pissed her off, but she knew that she would rescue Rue or die trying.

Hoshi solemnly nodded." I promise to fight my hardest to get her back. " Hoshi said . She also promised herself to keep Saya from being captured.

"That's all I ask Hoshi-san," Katniss asked.

Hoshi nodded. She laid a card on the table when it was her move. " Do you have a place to stay Katniss-san?" She asked after a while.

"Urahara is letting me stay at his place for a little while, although I think he's use to the fact that his store is also now a hotel for shinigami," Katniss replied as she picked up the card and placed a card down when it was her turn.

Hoshi was glad Katniss had a place to stay. She waited for her turn to put down a card.

Ichigo chuckled lightly to Katniss's comment, having a feeling that she was right about Urahara having his store turned into a mini hotel as he played a card, only needing one more card to win this round.

Hoshi put her last card on the pile, knowing she didn't win. She didn't mind ,since she was enjoying having a normal time with her friends.

Tatsuki grinned lightly as she won the hand, glad that they could have fun in a normal type of way.

" Would you guys like to stay for supper. Dad said he'll be home later , so it would just be us." Hoshi said.

Tatsuki thought that it would be a good idea for Katniss to experience a dinner made by friends. "Perhaps I could help you make something Star-chan?" she asked.

" Sounds like fun. What sounds good?" Hoshi asked. She hoped Katniss was having a good time.

"I'm good with anything," Tatsuki said as Ichigo nodded as well.

" Okay. Lets get started then. " Hoshi said before heading to the kitchen. She looked in the refrigerator hoping to get an idea.

Tatsuki followed her into the kitchen, hoping that Hoshi could think of something for dinner.

~~~

Ishida was impressed. After the hour or so of training that they were doing, Saya was able to keep up with him.

" How about beef and rice? " Hoshi asked. She could also do chicken, but had a feeling Katniss would like beef.

"Beef sounds good," Katniss responded.

Hoshi smile and got the beef , peas and other things out. " Tatsu, do you want to start the rice ? Hoshi asked as she got the beef sliced thin.

"Sure," Tatsuki replied as she got out the rice cooker before getting the rice and some other small ingredients out.

Hoshi started the beef and let that cook. " Are peas alright?" Hoshi asked, once she was ready to add them.

both Katniss and Ichigo responded that it was alright.

Hoshi added the peas to the beef and gravy and stirred them in. Hoshi had a strange feeling that tomorrow wouldn't be calm like today had been.

Katniss hoped that wherever Rue was that she wasn't being tortured or something similar to that idea.
