Here's the first sermon: Toshiro and Karin. I know it's weird 'cause he's like... 500 years older than her. But, I think it's really cute. And... He kinda stalks her at one point. This takes place at about that time. I don't remember specific episodes/chapters. Don't hate.

3rd Omniscient

They met on accident. Fate, some might call it.

He didn't believe in fate. Why should he? Look at what he was.

But maybe, that's fate too.

Maybe it's all fate. Out of our hands. Our destiny, not our own.

Maybe.

Toshiro 1st

I can't believe I'm actually doing this...

That was the thought running through my mind as I climbed the old oak tree and nimbly jump to the roof of the Park Building.

But... It was worth it.

I hope.

Just to see her ease with almost anything, her strength, her beautiful black hair...

She was playing soccer as usual. With her friends. They were so much... Weaker than her.

The one that looked like a drunk clown trips, and falls. He bursts out crying.

"Oh, get up. It's just a scrape." She says sardonically.

He whimpers out, "But... You're just too tough, Karin."

Yup. That's right. I was practically stalking Karin Kurosaki.

Ichigo would kill me if he found out.

They're leaving. The park is almost deserted except for one person.

Karin.

She looks annoyed. He only tripped, I think. It's not like the clown kid could help it.

"Hey, you. The kid on the roof." She calls out.

I look around. Crap. She's talking to me.

"The short kid with the spiky white hair." I fume at this, but soon my anger is replaced by anxiety. What am I supposed to do?

I leap from the roof, then walk as calmly as possible to meet her.

"Um... This looks bad..." I start.

"Bad? I'm pretty sure it illegal." So she's mad at me. I gulp. She doesn't seem like the person you want mad at you.

I guess I like that. It means that she can stand up for herself. I just wish that anger wasn't directed at me.

"Well..." I try to swallow. I can't. Am I sweating? Is it noticeable?

She's glaring at me.

"I was- I was just... I wasn't stalking you, if that's what you think."

"Oh really? Because I've seen you up there for the past week."

"Dang. I guess I'm getting worse with my sneaking abilities."

She laughs. "Ya think?"

Okay... So she's not so mad anymore. (A/N: Here comes my sad attempt at humor...) "So... What'd the fish say when it swam into a wall?"

"Are you serious." She asks critically.

"Dam. Get it? Heh heh..." I mentally facepalmed myself. I'm so lame.

She snorts. "You're pathetic. And funny. It's a good combination."

Is she serious? I'm not sure what to do next.

Just as I open my mouth, she puts a finger to my lips. "How about Friday? I like movies. Meet you at the downtown theatre."

She walks off, and I just sorta stand there, open mouthed.

Friday Night

The movie was a corny love flick... Karin's idea. We made fun of it the whole time, and got kicked out at about the middle.

So we went to an all night diner and had breakfast for dinner. I made her laugh, and had a great time.

I found out she likes the same mortal bands as me, and we both have an obsession for breakfast foods.

I feel love-drunk.

It's so weird. I would've never thought I would feel like this... Especially with Ichigo's little sister.

We're walking, hand in hand. Just... Walking.

We end up at the park, right under the old oak tree.

Before I know what's happening, we kiss. Nothing big, just a little peck. But...

It's the best I've ever felt.

I know that we can never be, and I know this will probably be the last time I ever see her.

But maybe... When I'm done with being a Soul-Reaper, we'll meet.

All I know is just this moment, holding her, under the old oak tree.

3rd Omniscient

So maybe it is fate, maybe we're preordained.

Or maybe we make our own destinies, our own futures.

Maybe it's a mixture of the two.

Whatever is going on, it worked for these two.

I told you it was a sad attempt at humor.

Yeah, she's 11. I know this. It's not like they made out or anything.

And yeah, he's like... 400. But everyone deserves love. Besides... He looks 11.

There will be more!
