Karin's Memories

"Ugghhh! I can't believe that we still have had no luck!" groaned Ichigo

"I can't believe I got paired up with you." Toushiro stated

They were searching the Rukongai for Karin. Ichigo had promised her that he would get all the Soul Reapers that met her and make her remember her life when she died.

Although that only turned out to be Toushiro, Matsumoto, and Rukia helping.

They had been searching for 3 months now with no luck. They finally decided to split up in two groups and look seperatly.

"It's almost noon we need to get back to see if the others found her." Ichigo stated.

They ran back to the tea shop they had agreed to meet at.

Rukia and Matsumoto were already there, "No luck?" Rukia asked

"None." Ichigo sighed

"Well then I'm looking by myself. I've got nothing better to do." Toushiro stated

He left the shop but came running back just as fast as he left "Guys come quick!"

They all ran after him then when he stopped they saw Karin standing in the middle of a soccer field looking saddly down at a popped soccer ball.

Ichigo walked up to her, "Hey do you know who I am?"

She looked up at him, "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAK!"

Rukia went next, "Snap out of it! Remember us already!"

"Do I know you?

Matsumoto stepped up, "I don't have anything to say but my Captain told me to stall until he got back...yada yada yada."(I couldn't come up with anything for her to say)

Everyone looked back at where Toushiro had been but he wasn't there.

"Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada..."(Still nothing)

"SHUT UP ALREADY!"

Luckily Toushiro came back at that moment he held out a new soccer ball to her, "You want it?"

She streched out her arms towards the ball.

"You can have it on one condition."

"Fine what is it?"

"You have to beat me at a game."

"What are you doing." Ichigo asked

"You'll see. Now will you play me or not?"

"Sure. I'm pretty sure I can beat you."

Toushiro shrugged he walked out onto the field. They played a thirty minute game before it came down to a 5-0 dicision Toushiro leading.

He ran down the field opposite to his goal then kicked the ball high in the air. He jumped up and flip kicked it into his goal.

"TOUSHIRO! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU CHALLENGE ME IF YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO WIN? YOU'RE SUCH A MEANIE!" Karin yelled.

"I could've done that." Ichigo bragged

"No you couldn't have Ichi-nii I only reconized his moves because..." Karin backfired on him

"SHUT UP! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME KILLED OR SOMETHING!" Toushiro shouted dragging all attention to him

"I still don't think he'd kill you. Maybe he'd chase you around with Zangetsu but not kill you."Karin retaliated

Everyone registered they were talking about Ichigo, "What do I have to do with any of this?"

Karin looked at Ichigo, "Toushiro's afraid you'll kill him because..."

"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!" Toushiro interupted

"Oh come on Toushiro the only way I'd kill you is if you were sneaking around at night with one of my sisters." Ichigo said scratching the back of his head.

"SEE I TOLD YOU HE'D KILL ME!...oops, I probably shouldn't have said that."

"WHAT!" Rukia,Matsumoto, and more importantly Ichigo yelled.

"Nothing, Nothing at all..."

Toushiro flash stepped to Karin, picked her up, then left yelling, "REMEMBER I'VE GOT YOUR SISTER!"
