No Beta. Saying sorry now :/ And chapters will steadily grow longer.

Chapter One

Regretted Words

She wasn't supposed to listen to him. She never has before, why would she now? It wasn't so literal. He would never wish that on her.

Well. Not literally.

He didn't mean it.

He just didn't mean it.

What made those stupid words come from his mouth wasn't even important anymore. He doesn't even remember what it was.

"Don't you dare Kurosaki Karin."

But like she always does, she only smiled. Tired. Cold. Weary smile. Stained in blood.

"Hey," hoarse voice. She shouldn't speak. "Its Hitsugaya."

She goes blurry in his eyes, and until they fall to her cheek does he realize it's tears. She isn't supposed to die. She can't.. she just can't.

"You can't." he finds himself muttering, ignoring the pain shooting though his hand while he is holding too tightly onto her. She doesn't feel it anyway.

"We have a game, baka. Saturday. You promised, we're going to finals." he refuses to believe her eyes are fading. They're supposed to be on fire. The eyes he grew up with, he fell for through high school, and still love through college. The eyes he was going to marry in a few more months."You can't leave the team, your family..." words continue to choke out while he can only stare at her. Drops of blood brush her face, his or hers he doesn't know. Her hair is mixed with shards of glass from the broken window of the coffee shop, and he can feel the eyes of the many other 'saved' hostages. He doesn't care. He doesn't care about any other them, only the girl dyi-... on his lap. "You can't leave." Why did she have to play hero? Why did he?

"Toshiro...ke up..."

He finds himself blinking at her words. "Karin-"

"I love you Tosh." and with that she was gone.

The ambulance finally arrives, and she is hanging loosely in his arms.

He is numb. The blue and red flash in his eyes, but he doesn't feel their sting, the paramedics call orders, but he can't formulate the meaning in his head. It just doesn't connect.

And suddenly they are taking her away from him.

He refuses.

He is clinging to her body, knowing that she isn't there. A slim manicured hand grips onto his shoulder. Past his white locks, her can see orange locks falling over slim shoulder. He lets her body go, because it isn't her.

"who the hell did I fall for huh?"

Their conversation just before the heist comes to his head. Like now, everyone's eyes were on them.

"Well I don't fucking know Karin! Maybe you shouldn't be with me then!"

Beginning of the end.

"Then I won't!"

But he was so mad.

"Fine!"

And she is just so stubborn.

"Fine!"

...Was- was so stubborn.

"Here's your fucking ring! I don't want it! Fuck off!"

You weren't supposed to die baka.

"Like I give a shit! Go crawl in a ditch and die already!"

We were supposed to make up.

"This is a heist!"

Like how we always do.

"Everyone down on the ground!"

Because that's how we were.

"Toshiro, don't!"

And that how we were supposed to be.

"Karin!"

Forever and always.

Bang.

Didn't we promise that with this ring?

"Karin!"

But everything tumbled down.

"...Karin..."
