Hoshi also waved and got the glasses ready.


Tetsu finished his report and sent it to Soul Soicety. He hoped that his plea to keep Katia here wouldn't be ignored. He feared ifhse went she wouldn't be allowed back. He went to the kitchen for some breakfast hoping today's training went well.

Katniss woke up early and rolled out of the bed, ready to get some more training in and hopefully get her bankai before either the end of today or tomorrow. Taking a quick shower, she headed out of her room.

"Morning girls," Ishida replied. "Is breakfast ready yet?" he asked out of curiosity.

" It's ready. What would you like on your pancakes. There's syrup and butter on the table , but I can get out some honey or jam if you would like. " Hoshi said.

"I'm fine with just syrup, but thank you for asking," Ishida replied.

" Okay. " Hoshi said and got the syrup out. She was glad her dad had joined them, feeling a bit concerned for some reason.

"Thanks Hoshi," Ishida said before seeing Tetsu look a little tired. He had a feeling he knew why he looked that way, and hoped that Katia would be able to stay with them. If she was forced into Soul Society, he would fight whoever stood in his way to get her back.

Tetsu sat down and took a few pancakes and put some butter on them. He was looking forward to today's training. He knew Hoshi was close to perfecting her second ability.

Tatsuki headed out of her apartment and head over to Hoshi's house to start training.

( sorry about taking so long. )

Hoshi could sense Tatsuki getting closer as she finished up her pancakes. She wondered if Ichigo would be here today too.

Ichigo headed towards Hoshi's house as well, wondering what sort of training they were going to do today, as well as what his Hollow told him.

Hoshi finished up and started to put the dishes in the dishwasher. She was glad that everyone liked breakfast. She could now sense Ichigo and felt a bit nervous, not sure how he would react to Kaita and Ishida being her cousins.

Ichigo stopped for a bit, feeling the nervousness in Hoshi's reiatsu. 'I wonder what's wrong,' he thought to himself as he noticed Tatsuki heading up the drive. "Morning," he said.

Tetsu hoped things would go well today and wondered is he would get a response to his plea. He knew Katia being his niece had to be enough for her to stay safe. He was feeling a bit of tension in the air and wondered how Katniss was doing.

Katniss placed her hand on one of the swords scattered around the area and got ready to face her zanpakuto spirit as she got ready to swing once he got close enough, anger fueling the swing of the blade. When the blade hit however, the edge of the sword broke off, leaving her with just holding the handle. Scowling lightly, she quickly brought her arms in front of her chest in an X formation to block the punch from her spirit partner.

Tatsuki responded to Ichigo's greeting with one of her own before getting up to the front door. Once she was there, both herself and Ichigo knocked on the door.

" I'll get it. " Hoshi said and answered the door. " Hey guys. Glad you are here. Please come in. Ishida-San and Katia-chan are already here. " Hoshi said. She hoped today went well.

"Hey Hoshi-chan," they both said as they entered the house at her request. They were surprised to hear that Katia and Ishida were already here.

" Are either of you worried about Katniss-san? For some reason I feel very worried about her. " Hoshi said as she led them to the kitchen.

"My Hollow said something about her last night," Ichigo started, causing all eyes to go to him. Coughin lightly he continued. "He was saying how her anger and fuel for revenge could cause her to become a Vizard like myself. I was going to tell Kisuke, but..." Ichigo said leaving off the rest of the statement.

" It might be a good idea to tell Kisuke."Tetsu said. He knew from experience that anger and rage were not good things to hold on to.

"I was planning on doing that actually," Ichigo replied.

" Sounds like a good plan. Though the sooner you let him know the better. He should answer the phone if you call." Tetsu said. He knew that Katniss could be in danger.

"There's also something else I was told last night....by both Tensa Zangetsu and my Hollow," he started to say before shaking his head lightly. "I'll let you know after making that call," he said, buying himself a little more time as he headed into the hallway to call Kisuke.

Hoshi wondered what else Ichigo had to tell them and hoped it wasn't anything bad.

Ichigo dialed the number to Kisuke's shop and waited for Kisuke or someone in the shop to pick up.

"Hello?" Urahara said. He recognized the number as Tetsu's but knew it wasn't his friend. He had a feeling though this call was important. Urahara was getting concerned about Katniss , but wasn't sure if he was right about his assumption.
