Okay, new story! I got the inspiration for this one while thinking about an old Beverly Lewis book I read years ago. This is the first arc of the girls who work there. After I finish Karin's, I'll probably work on Yuzu, then Orihime, then Rukia. . . But it depends on who inspires me first. I had a lot of fun with it. Let me know what you think! ^.^
"And smile!" Karin grinned, looking through the camera at the couple standing in front of her. She snapped two last shots of them before pulling away and nodding.
"These will be perfect!" I'll go get Orihime so you can go over which format you want to use while I develop these for you to sample, alright?" She smiled looking up at them.
"Hime, I'm done with them!" Karin leaned around the corner and glanced at the pretty redhead behind the desk. She snapped her head up from the wedding ring around her slim finger and grinned. Karin rolled her eyes.
"Will you quit slacking off? They're waiting!" Karin exclaimed shaking her head. Orihime blushed and got up, grabbing the 'Save the Date' folder. She straightened out her blazer and skirt before walking into the next room with the couple.
"Karin, you have one more appointment before quiting time!" Yuzu chimed walking through the reception office with the orders for flowers.
Karin sighed, walking back to her studio. Grabbing a coke out of the fridge, Karin grabbed the camera and pulled out the memory card titled 'The Abarai's'. She shoved it into her iMac and opened the folder. She popped the can opened and gasped, feeling soda fizz over her hand.
"Shit." Karin hissed pushing away from her desk. Coke sloshed onto her white top. Karin growled at her own stupidity and stared down at the brown soda soaking into the white silk. I have another shirt in my camera bag. She thought looking at the case below her.
She pulled her top off over her head and walked to the sink on the far side of her studio. She plugged the sink and filled it with cold water, dropping the shirt in it. Karin turned around and froze, staring into the turquoise eyes of a stranger. Karin was actually confused by the stunned look on his face. Her next thought was how the hell did he get his hair so white? They stared at each other for a moment longer before he gasped and turning around, slammed into the wall. Karin squeaked, covering her mouth as he smashed his head off the wooden floor. Forgetting she was in her bra, she ran to see if he was okay.
"Okay, Momo, my sister, Karin will be out to talk with you about the save the dates soon. Toshiro, will you wait here, please?" Yuzu grinned. Toshiro gritted his teeth and pressed his lips together.
"Will you tell me where the bathroom is, please?" He asked. The little blonde grinned.
"Sure, right back that hall to the left!" Toshiro nodded and started back the hall. Turning into the first doorway on the left Toshiro froze. In front of him stood a topless woman. He watched her filling the sink. She turned to him and gasped. His eyes met her deep blue eyes. Instantly he was lost in them. She shifted and Toshiro remembered where he was. Whipping around, his face made contact with the white walls and the next thing he knew, he was staring at the tiled ceiling.
Her black hair obscured his vision a moment later.
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" She fretted. Toshiro groaned, rolling over. His arm brushed over the soft bare skin of her stomach and he jerked away, ignoring the throb in the back of his head. She looked at him in confusion, before pulling the opposite direction.
"Oh! Son of a bitch! I'm sorry!" She ran to the far side of the room and pulled a black shirt over her head. Turning back around, she grinned sheepishly at him. Walking forward she held out her hand.
"I'm Karin Kurosaki." Yuzu appeared in that instant.
"Karin, the 'Izuru's' are here. Oh, Toshiro, I forgot to tell you the bathroom was the SECOND door down. This is my sister's office." Toshiro blinked looking back at Karin. She had a deep blush across her pretty face.
"E-excuse me, sir." She frowned leaving the office.
Karin, you dumbass! He has to be your next appointment. He's engaged to someone else! Why the hell did he have to look so damn cute lying under me? Karin swore at herself on her way to the main office. Rounding the corner, Karin's face lit up with her most professional grin.
"Good afternoon, I am Karin Kurosaki, I'm the photographer for Kurosaki Wedding Planning." The young woman stood up and grinned.
"I'm Momo Hinnamori!" The Toshiro guy was standing behind her with his hands in his pockets. He was staring at a spot on the ground.
"So you must be her fiancée?" Karin leaned around Momo and forced a grin. Toshiro raised an eyebrow not looking up.
"Sir?" Karin pressed. He pushed off the wall and sighed.
"No. Not even close." Karin straightened herself. He stepped up beside Hinnamori.
"I am Toshiro Hitsugaya. Momo is my older sister." He spit shortly. Karin crossed her arms.
"Alright. Well let's get to work then!" She grinned, dropping her arms and motioning for them to follow her into her office.
Toshiro stepped into his car and started it, waiting for Momo to be done talking to Karin. Letting out an exasperated breath, Toshiro tapped on the steering wheel. He looked back to the front door of the white house that was the Kurosaki main offices. Karin and Momo were standing on the front porch and laughing. He smiled staring at Karin. Movement caught his attention. A dark haired man was walking towards them. He grabbed Karin's arm and roughly pulled her towards him and whispered in her ear. Toshiro furrowed his brow, not liking how Karin's face changed from joy to fear. She bowed hastily at Momo before being half dragged away by the dark haired man. Hitsugaya put down the window as they passed.
"You're such an idiot. I TOLD you to be home by 5! Why don't you follow simple fucking instructions?" He was yelling at her. Momo quickly got in the car next to her brother.
"I-I'm sorry, Reino… I lost track of time. I was talking to Miss Hinnamori and-" Toshiro gritted his teeth as the asshole roughly shoved her into the front seat of a rusty old Toyota and slammed the door. He got into the other side and started the car. It screeched and was turning onto the next street, while Toshiro was forcing himself to calm down.
"S-Shiro?" He gripped the steering wheel tighter and stared at the black leather. He looked over at his sister.
"Let's go home. Kira is probably waiting for you." He forced his voice to be steady as he started the car forward.
I was listening to Think Twice by Eva 6. That's where I got my inspiration for the last part. It just seemed like a HitsuKarin kind of song... Hope you enjoyed! Review so I know what you think!
