Hitsugaya Toshiro stepped forward onto the field after the soccer game ended. He had not seen her for almost a year but he knew she would be happy to see him. He knew he was happy to see her, not that he would ever admit it to anyone but himself. They were similar in more ways than one and always had been. She was the only person who seemed to take him seriously when he spoke instead of brushing him off as 'just a kid'.
Maybe that was because she was only a kid herself. They had always been the same height so maybe she just viewed him as a peer. He had waited until the game ended to reveal himself because he knew she would drag him in if she saw him. Luckily, they had won without his help. Her friends suddenly hushed their celebration when they spotted him walking towards them. Like always, she was slow to catch on, "What's wrong guys? We won!"
They didn't respond, instead, they continued to stare at him as if he were some kind of freak of nature. They were always odd so he didn't pay any attention to their behavior. Hitsugaya reached out and tapped her on the shoulder. Karin turned around faster than he had expected her to. Suddenly he found himself eye to…the top of her head….he had grown taller than her! He hadn't noticed until she turned around. Hitsugaya was expecting to come eye to eye with Karin…and obviously she was expecting the same since it took her a moment after she turn to look up at him. He put his hands in his pockets and smirked at her, "Well this is unexpected."
She shoved his shoulder, "Stop your quiet gloating. What are you doing here?"
He shrugged, "I'm on vacation. Forced vacation but still vacation."
She nodded but still glared at him in his elevated height, "Well I'm going home. I'll talk to you another time."
He knew what she was saying. She was heading towards her house, follow, but don't be seen by her friends. So, he waited until every one of her teammates left her side and went their separate ways and caught up to her. They walked in silence on the way to the house in an all too familiar manner. Upon arriving, he spoke up again, "I'm assuming I'm going through the window?"
She shook her, "Don't bother. It isn't like they actually care. Besides I'm assuming you probably need a place to stay anyway."
So, he found himself walking through the front door of the Kurosaki household for the first time. He had expected Ichigo's exclamation about what he was doing there. He had expected Karin's sister cooing over Karin bringing him home. However, he hadn't expected to lock eyes with his former captain from across the room. Before he could even think about what he was saying he found the title slipping past his lips, "Captain Shiba."
Then everything went silent.
