Ichigo noticed that Katniss was ready to end the spar, and to tell the truth, so was he. Closing his eyes for a few seconds, Tensa Zangetsu reverted back to its shikai form before placing it on his back, it quickly fixing itself there, noticing that the others had left at least a while ago. "Um...I guess it's just the two of us now," he said as he scratched the back of his head.

" I guess it we are. How long did we fight?" Katniss asked. She usually didn't lose track of time like that.

"Dunno," he said as he found his human body and stepped inside of it. Feeling something in his back pocket, he reached in and pulled out a note. "Ichigo-We hope the two of you have some fun. We brought your bodies down here for you so you could get back into them and wouldn't have to search all over the shop. Knowing you, it should be about two or three hours after we all left and that female captain left back to Soul Society. Laters: Shinji and Co,"

Chuckling lightly, he made sure that Katniss's faux body was here as well. He would wait until she got back into it before asking her how she got the title "Girl on Fire".

Katniss got into her Gigai and stretched a bit. She knew she was going to be stiff for a few days.

"According to this, we've been here about a few hours, give or take," Ichigo said as he answered her earlier question. "Now then, you said something about being 'the Girl on fire'?" Ichigo asked, curious about the title.

" We have? The nickname was one my friend Cinna gave me and it stuck.

( I assume that this isn't the same universe as the Hunger games takes place? I thought it was a parallel to that one? )

(I was going with the fact that Katniss died in the world where the Hunger Games existed, but upon her death by the nightmares, her soul was transferred to the Bleach world, if that makes sense)

Ichigo shrugged. "Only one way to find out Kat-chan," he said as he headed towards the ladder.

( It does. Thank you for explaining it to me. )

Katniss followed Ichigo toward the ladder. " Do I still have more training to do?" She asked herself.

(no problem)

As Ichigo climbed up the ladder, he wondered what would happen from there. He knew that they had to rescue Rue as well as beat the Vandenreich, but wondered just why they were fighting in the first place.

Katniss was glad to finally be upstairs and wondered where Urahara was. She assumed he probably working in his workshop again. She also was glad she didn't have patrol tonight. " Thanks for helping me. " She said to Ichigo.

"Don't mention it...although, why did you want me specifically?" he asked. as he placed the cover back over the ladder so that no one would fall down the hole accidentally. That was one thing that Kisuke drilled into his head while he was training here.

" I know you the best. I wouldn't have felt comfortable by myself when Captain Hirako and the others arrived today. " Katniss said admitting h the truth. She knew she had a lot of adjusting to do while she was here in the Living world.

"I see," Ichigo said, completely understanding that with all the new people there, a familiar face was a good idea to have. "Then I'm glad I could teach the fearless Girl on Fire," he said with a grin.

" I'm glad you could too." Katniss said." When will we be training next?" She asked.

"Oh really now?" he asked with a small smirk before answering her question with a shrug, not knowing when they would train again.

" I'll ask Urahara once I see him again, though I have a feeling that might be a while." Katniss said with a smirk.

"Wouldn't surprise me Ms. Girl on Fire," he said cheekily, a smirk on his face as he said it. "Although that could also apply to Ryu-chan..."

" I do agree that it does. I dare you to call Tatsuki-San that. " Katniss challenged with a smirk. She knew that Ichigo was trying to help her relax.

Ichigo chuckled lightly at that. "It's not much of a dare since I was going to call her that anyways. Perhaps I could finally get a work out as well, although you gave me a nice warm up, Kat-chan," he said.

" That was just a work out? " Katniss said with a scowl. She wished Ichigo would stop calling her Kat-chan. " I promise map next time to make things more difficult for you. " She added.

"I'm just teasing you Kat-chan," he said. It had been a while since he fought like that, especially after fighting her Hollow Form. He still had a small bruise from where her tail hit him in the ribs as a reminder of that fight.

"I hope I didn't give you a hard time while I was fighting my hollow." Katniss said.

"Nah, it wasn't too much trouble," before wincing lightly.

" If I did hurt you I am sorry. " Katniss said. She knew her anger was the cause of all this, and hoped that she could control it.

"It's nothing I can't live with, but thank you for the concern," Ichigo said, knowing that she felt bad about not controlling her Hollow.

'You don't have to worry about me hurting your boyfriend again,' Hatniss said with a slight smirk.
