" Is everything ready?" Hoshi asked Tasuki. She also Rue wasn't being tortured. She also hoped Saya was safe.

"Should be," Tatsuki said, seeing that Katness and Ichigo had set the table up.

Hoshi put the beef mixture in a serving bowl and took it to the table. " What would you all like to drink? " She asked.

Tatsuki had gotten herself a glass of milk to go along with dinner.

"Milk please," Ichigo said as Katniss also asked for some as well.

Hoshi nodded and three glasses out. She poured milk in them and brought two to the table for Ichigo and Katniss. Hoshi went back for her's and sat down in a chair.

Ichigo thanked Hoshi for the meal before digging in.

Hoshi stared to eat and was glad that everyone was happy. " How is it?" She asked after a while.

"It's good," Katniss said.

" I'm glad you like it. " Hoshi said. " What about you guys? " She asked Tatsuki and Ichigo.

"It's good," Ichigo replied once he swallowed the food he was chewing. Tatsuki nodded her head in agreement.

Hoshi was glad that everyone had liked dinner. She finished her dinner and took her plate to the sink to start the dishes.

Ichigo and the others had finished as well, enjoying the meal that Hoshi made for them. Once they were done, both Tatsuki and himself picked their plates up and brought them to the sink, each helping Hoshi clean up. A few seconds later, Katniss also pitched in.

Hoshi was glad for the help. She heard the garage door opening and was glad that her dad was home.

Ichigo heard the garage door open, assuming that Tetsu-san was home from work. He glanced over at Katniss for a few seconds, hoping that she wouldn't make a scene with Hoshi's father.

Tetsu could sense both Ichigo and Tatsuki in the kitchen and thought he sensed Katniss. He hoped she wasn't blaming him for Rue's capture. " Its good to see you here. " He said as he entered the kitchen.

Ichigo subtly moved towards Katniss, in case she created a scene and let out a small breath as he found her trying to control her anger. He hoped that she was thinking it wasn't his fault that the barrier fell.

" I should apologize Katniss-san. I didn't expect that anyone would know where Rue would be. I also didn't expect the barrier to be destroyed by the Quincy who took her. I understand if you are angry with me." Tetsu said.

It took a few seconds for Katniss to make a response. "I'm not angry with either of you, even if I do have the right to be," she responded. She knew that they tried everything within their power to keep Rue safe, plus there was also the fact that they didn't know she was one of the keys.

"I understand. I promise you we all will fight our hardest to get Rue back. We just need to know where she was taken." Tetsu said. He was glad Katniss wasn't angry.

"If only we knew where that was," Tatsuki muttered lightly.

" I wish we knew too. " Tetsu said, making a note to ask his friend Travis if he had an idea.

Ichigo wondered if Ishida or Kisuke would have any idea where Rue could be, but kept his ideas to himself for the moment.

Tetsu excused himself when he heard the phone ring. He had a feeling that things were about to get interesting

" See you guys tomorrow. Hope you all had a good time. " Hoshi said.

"See you tomorrow Star-chan," Ichigo said as he waved goodnight to her as they all left.

Hoshi waved goodbye to Ichigo. She was glad to have had company tonight.
