"Interesting..." Toushiro said before turning to Kisuke and suggesting that he take the barrier hiding Katia down.

Urahara nodded and took the barrier down. " It's safe to come out. Captain Hitsugaya is here if you would like to say hello" He said to Katia. He knew Yoruichi was spending time with Soi fon.

Katia was glad that the test was over. She admitted to herself that once the captains were dismissed, she was glad to have finished the test a half hour later. Sensing Toushiro, she was glad that it was just Captain Hitsugaya that was left, knowing that he wouldn't harm her.

Tetsu smiled when he saw Katia. " How did you do on your testing?" He asked. Tetsu was glad that Kisuke convinced him that this would be good for Katia.

"I think I did pretty well, although I did have a little trouble in some parts," Katia admitted as she waved towards Toushiro, one of few captains she trusted.

" That's good. What parts did you have trouble with?" Tetsu asked. " Would you like to say hello to Captain Hitsugaya before we leave? "He asked.

"I had a little trouble with English and History, but other than that I think I did well," Katia said, glad to see Toushiro again and waved towards him. "It's been a while, hasn't it Toushiro-kun?" she asked.

" It has Katia-san. I hope you have been doing well." Toshiro said with a small smile. He was glad to see that Katia had Tetsu as an uncle, knowing she would be safe with him.

"I have, thanks to you and the others, especially Uncle Tetsu," Katia said as she answered Toushiro's question. "What about you Toushiro-taichou?" she asked.

" I've been doing well. I'm glad I was able to see you today Katia-San. " Toshiro said with a small smile.

Tetsu was glad that Katia was happy here. He would do anything to keep her and Hoshi safe.

Katia nodded, glad that she was able to see one of her friends. She was still a little hesitant when it came to certain shinigami, but she knew that Toushiro, her uncle and the others that she trusted wouldn't harm her.

" Hope to se you both agian soon . Please tell Hoshi-san I said hello." Hitsugaya said to Tetsu and Katia. He had to get back to Soul Society soon and get ready for the arrival of the squad zero members. He had a feeling the the damage that had been done could have been much worse if Hoshi didn't have that vision.

"I will Toushiro-taichou," Katia said with a small smile. She had heard rumors of the zero squad and were surprised that they were in fact real. "Um...Toushiro-taichou?" she asked, hoping that she wasn't annoying him. Seeing him stop and turn around to show that he was listening, she continued. "The Zero Squad...they won't hunt me, will they? Leader-sama told us some frightening rumors about them..."

" From what Ukitake-taichou told me , they won't. But more than likely they will want to hear what you have to say about the Vandenreich. " Hitsugaya said. He could trust what the older captain told him but he still was a bit wary on what the other captains might do to Katia.

"Alright. I'm sorry for being so scared of the Shinigami Captains but..." she started to say, hoping that what she didn't say was understood by the boy Captain.

" It's alright Katia-san. I understand. I hope in time you won't need to fear." Hitsugaya said kindly. he was glad that Katia was comfortable around him.

"Thanks Toushiro-kun," Katia said with a small smile.

"You are welcome. I'll let you know if they do want to speak with you." He said to both Tetsu and Katia.

"Thanks Toushiro-kun," Katia said before turning to her uncle and asking if they could go home.

" We can. Hoshi should be there already ." Tetsu said before he waved goodbye to everyone.


" See you guys tomorrow. Do we want to train when we are let out early again?" Hoshi asked before her friends left.

Everyone nodded or responded positively again to Hoshi's question, even Ichigo.

Katia nodded and headed near her uncle. "Thanks for letting us know about the Zero Squad Toushiro-kun," she said, waiting for her uncle.

" I will." Toshiro said and waved good bye to both Katia and Tetsu.

" what sounds good for dinner?" Tetsu asked when they got in the car. He could sense that Hoshi was tired.

"What about Pizza?" Katia asked.

"Sounds good. How does pepperoni sound?" Tetsu suggested. "Tomorrow how about we have spaghetti?"He added with a smile.

"Pepperoni sounds good for tonight," Katia said before also agreeing to tomorrow's dinner.
