Katniss blushed. " I did. " She said. " What girl doesn't have a crush on her best friend who happens to be a guy. " Katniss said teasing in a friendly way about Tatsuki's crush on Ichigo. She was glad that Tatsuki had came by.

Isshin nodded. He remembered that night that Ichigo had awakened his powers because of Rukia. He also remembered that night that Ichigo had lost them and was forever grateful Kisuke had been there to help his son. Though he hadn't expected Ichigo and his friends to save Rukia, but knew that had finally uncovered Aizen's treachery. " I will see if they have and promise to train them. " Isshin said glad that his son had forgiven him. " I wish your mom was alive to see what fine young man you have grown to be. She would be proud. " Isshin said with a little sadness. He was proud of his son too.

Tatsuki blushed lightly, knowing it was a true statement and laughed lightly, nodding as such. "You have a point Kat-chan," Tatsuki said, not realizing the nickname that she gave to Katniss.

Ichigo blushed in embarrassment at his father's words. "Thanks dad..." was all that he said.

Katniss grinned. She kind of liked that nickname. " Would it be too much to ask if I could join you and your friends tomorrow? I don't need to be on patrol until later so that would give me time to train." Katniss asked. She wanted to be able to work with everyone since she knew this peace wouldn't last.

" Anything else you would like to know? You do have cousins on your mother's side that are also Quincies. They live in Yokohama I believe." Isshin mentioned. He hadn't seen his in laws since Misaki had died but they had kept in touch some what. They always were tense around him, when they knew he would never hurt them. He hoped that he could ask for their help in fighting the Vandenreich.

"I don't see why not. Actually, Kisuke wanted me to ask you that in the first place," Tatsuki said, scratching the back of her head in embarrassment. 'Speaking of which, I wonder what's going on with Ichigo,' she thought to herself, a little on the worried side. Seeing that Katniss wasn't annoyed by the nickname she accidentally gave her, she asked the archer if there was anything that she wanted to know about herself.

"What are they like? Mom's side of the family I mean," Ichigo asked.

" Then that works out good. Where have you guys been traning?" Katniss asked. How long have you known Ichigo? Also how did you meet your other friends?" Katniss asked wanting to know.

" They are good hard working people. Your grandfather Ren is a retired electrician. He's still alive and I think he just turned 92. Your uncle Kenji is a teacher and your mom's older brother. He has a daughter about 23 named Naomi, who is interestested in a medical career and a son your age named Daisuke. Your grandmother Eriko is still alive as well and is 89. She was a seamstress for many years. I know they wanted to contact you and your sisters but were afraid that the Vandenreich would find them. Your grandparents escaped when Misaki and Kenji were young children because of what was happening. Your mom told me that your grandparents didn't agree that the Vandenreich should treating their members so badly. I want them to be able to trust Shinigami , but they fear them too much. " Isshin said.

"Well we actually have two training areas. We train here sometimes obviously, but there's also a place similar to Kisuke's training dome where Hoshi-chan lives at," Tatsuki said as she answered Katniss's question. "I've known Ichigo since he was five, although if you met him back then, you would be surprised about how he turned into the crazy protector that he is today," Tatsuki said as she started telling Katniss about Ichigo and how they first met.

Ichigo listened as his father told him about them, surprised that so many of them were still alive. He was also secretly glad that Isshin didn't make any stupid remarks about dating his cousin, but he wasn't going to say anything to give the man ideas. "They sound like some interesting people...are you sure they would still want to meet me, even after all this time?" He asked.

Katniss was surprised that there was another training area like this, but then remembered Hoshi's father was also a Shinigami. "It's great you have a friend like Ichigo. I sort of had a friend in school before I met Gale. Her name was Madge Undersee and we ate lunch together most of the time." Katiniss said thinking about her past her past life again. She wondered why she was able to remember when most spirits forgot them.

"I know they would.I have talked to Ren recently and your grandparents do want to see you again. Ren is sorry that he lost touch with you and the girls after your mom died. He wanted to talk to you many times,but he never got the courage to until recently. I know your cousin Naomi lives in Naruki City and would like to see you again too. Would you like to see them?" Isshin asked. He had been talking with Naomi trying to help her make some decisions what she should do after she graduated. He hoped Ichigo did want to see them.

Tatsuki was a little surprised that Katniss was able to remember her past life so well, especially since she was told that shinigami usually lost memories of who they were when alive. "Yeah, it's nice having someone who actually treats me like I'm a person, and not just a girl," Tatsuki said with a small smile on her face. Then again, she was always beating him in karate when they were little.

"I would like to see them actually," Ichigo said, knowing that he wouldn't get angry at them. If he couldn't get angry at his father for not telling him this about mom, then how could he be mad at them for the same reasons?

Katniss nodded. " It's never right to judge a person based on those things. Do you think everything is alright? There was a lot of tension in the air here earlier." Katniss said feeling concerned. It seemed that the tension had built up in the last few hours, and hoped everything was alright back in Soul Society.

"That's good. I can call to see if they are able to come visit this weekend. I had talked to Naomi a couple of days ago and she said that her dad, brother and grandparents were coming to visit her in Naruki city. It's just the next town over and I think we could work something out." Isshin said. He was glad this was going well and that Ichigo hadn't asked about Grand Fisher or Kon yet. He hadn't wanted to give the mod soul to Kurotsuchi, but it was the only option he had at the time.

Tatsuki nodded, also wondering what had happened. "I noticed that too when Ichigo and I walked in here...I actually think that Kisuke sent me in here so as to not be a distraction to Ichigo and whatever Kisuke wanted to talk to him about. I hope he's okay," she added.

"Sounds good then," Ichigo said with a small smirk. He had been told that his father had defeated Grand Fisher by Tatsuki when he came back home and when he was having a vacation from his powers. "So I guess this is where I tell you that I already know about you defeating Grand Fisher?" He asked nonchalantly.

"I hope he is too. About training tomorrow when should I be at Hoshi-sans?" Katniss asked. She had to patrol tomorrow night, but she wanted to train first.

" You do?" Isshin said feeling a bit relieved that Ichigo knew already. Now came telling where Kon was.He looked to Urahara to be the one to say something.

" Now you probably want to know about Kon. Don't worry too much when I say he's now with Division 12. I left strict instructions to make sure your friend wasn't harmed while he's there. " Urahara said. He would need Kon again if Ichigo was needed by Soul Society again, and knew that time was coming soon.

"We usually start a little after noon when we have half days at school, so you should probably be around then. She knew that they also had the day after off as well which was she asked if she wanted help patrolling.

"I'm pretty sure karma is coming back on Kon then," Ichigo said, chuckling lightly at the perverted bear's plight. He remembered having to talk Tatsuki out of kicking his ass that day.

" That sounds reasonable. I would like some help." Katniss said with a small smile. She wondered if Hoshi would like to help too, but wasn't sure if she was able to. Since the last attack was targeting both Hoshi and her cousin, Katniss had feeling that Tatsuki's friend was still a target.

"I'm pretty sure it is too." Urahara said with a light chuckle. He just had one more thing to say tonight and that was to Yoruichi. He was feeling a bit nervous, but knew he couldn't back out of telling her how he did feel.

"Alright then, consider me your back up for tomorrow then," Tatsuki said, glad that she could be of help, before both females heard a knock on the door.

" Hope you girls are doing well in here. " Yoruichi said with a smile. She was glad that Katiniss was feeling more comfortable here. The one thing that bothered her was that Kisuke was acting a bit more strange than he usually did. She had a feeling something was up.

"We are. Is Ichigo alright?" Tatsuki asked through the door, not knowing if Katniss wanted the older female in the room or not.

" He'll be alright. I'm glad that he's taken all this so well. I was afraid I would of had to interferes if things got bad. " Yoruichi said with a slight smirk. She had been a bit worried when he had gained strength knowing that the Vandenreich would have blackmailed Ichigo because of his Quincy blood. She hoped he would tell his friends , knowing that they all would accept him no matter what he was. " Are you training with us tomorrow Katniss? We'd love to have you." She said to the archer. .

" I am. I'm actually looking forward to it. " Katniss said with a small smile. She wondered what Yoruichi was hiding, but wouldn't ask since she had a feeling it was about Ichigo.

" So have we discussed everything?" Urahara asked. He wondered if Ichigo would be capable of learning Blut, Hoping he could. He knew Ishida was strong enough as a Quincy to learn it and wondered how he would react to Ichigo being part Quincy.

"I think so, unless you're still going to hide your feelings for Yoruichi-san," Isshin said with a small smirk, teasing one of his old friends as he saw his son just shake his head and mutter something under his breath, most likely wondering how he was related to him.

Tatsuki raised an eyebrow, wondering just what Yoruichi was hiding from her. She had a feeling it had to do with Ichigo, but she'd ask him on the way home or some time tomorrow. "I was also going to help Kat-chan on patrol tomorrow, especially with the events that have been going on recently," the martial artist added.

" Actually I'm going to tell her tonight." Urahara smirked back."I'll let you know if I hear anything new. I'm hoping the captains will let Travis-San speak to them. I feel that we need to finally end this feud knowing that there is much at stake now. " Urahara said. He didn't want the Vandenreich to succeed at starting the apocalypse.

"Really now? Then good luck with that buddy," Isshin said. "Ichigo," He said as his son looked at him. "It's up to you if you want to tell your friends this information or not, but I highly suggest that you do. I'm going to go ahead and head home. Don't stay out too late with Tatsuki-chan," he said in a suggestive manner.

Ichigo nodded at his dad's advice before narrowing his eyes. "Dad...," he said warningly.

Urahara chuckled. He was glad to see both Isshin and Ichigo back to their normal selves. He hoped one day he would have a family of his own. He waved good bye to both Isshin and Ichigo and went to get ready.

Ichigo shook his head at both of the elderly males before saying his good byes and exiting the room. With two younger sisters, he knew it was a Bad Idea to just walk into a room full of women and knocked on the door. "Tatsu-chan, you in there?" he asked.

Katniss heard Ichigo and opened the door. " She's in here would you like to come in?" She asked Ichigo resisting the urge to call him strawberry. She would wait till he annoyed her again.

" Better get going. I have a feeling the mad scientist has another plan brewing. " Yoruichi said and went to find Kisuke. She had a feeling he was up to something and hoped it wasn't too crazy.

"Only if I'm not interrupting anything," Ichigo replied.

" You weren't. Me and Tatsuki were just talking. She asked me if I wanted to join your training tomorrow and I said I would. " Katniss said.

Urahara smiled when he saw Yoruichi enter the room. " Glad you found me. Yoruichi , there is something I've wanted to tell you for a long time. " He started.
