Chapter 1: The Menos
Karin was a beautiful, football loving 14 year old teenager who had a high spiritual level. Therefore hollows were often after her. Her big brother, Ichigo Kurosaki killed them before they would try to eat her. She had ambitions to become a soul reaper so she wouldn't be so helpless against hollows. Ichigo only recently found out that she knew about soul reapers, hollows and the Espada e.t.c, e.t.c. She also wished she could visit Soul society. All the different squads and stuff like that sounded interesting. However she had given up knowing that she would never be able to do that. But that was about to change…
Karin was walking home from football practice when she bumped into someone. Karin didn't think she'd ever see someone like that, he had white spiky hair and looked about her age but his eyes, his emerald green eyes were much older like they had seen too much. 'I'm so sorry I didn't mean to bump into you' Karin said straight away.
'It's alright.' He replied in a bored voice and walked around her. Karin wondered who he was. There was something about him.
Karin was walking home from football practice again 2 days later when she saw an outline of a person sitting on a hill watching the sunset. Curious, she started walking up the hill to see who it was. When she found out who it was she was surprised. 'Aren't you the guy who I bumped into the other day?' The person turned around straight away. 'Yeah, I think so.' He replied wondering why she had asked.
'Hey what's your name?'
'Why do you care?' he answered in his bored voice.
'I dunno, maybe coz I keep seeing you everywhere or something, there's no real reason.' He sighed. He knew just by looking at her she wasn't going to give till she got an answer. 'My name is Toshiro Hitsugaya.'
'Mine's Karin Kurosaki!' She responded enthusiastically.
'KUROSAKI!?' Toshiro shouted.
'Yeah…' Karin said, a little scared, 'why?'
'Is one of your relatives called Ichigo Kurosaki?'
'Yeah, my big brother'
'Well that explains your high spiritual level.'
'I see you're a soul reaper'
'Yeah, a captain to be precise.'
'A captain! Really you seem so young and to have such a high rank! You're really coo-'
A woman was running towards them shouting, 'Hello Captain!!' Toshiro sighed. 'Who's she?'
'She's my subordinate' Toshiro answered.
'I meant her name.'
'Oh, Rangiku Matsumoto.' Rangiku reached them out of breath.
'Hi Captain!!'
'What is it Matsumoto?' Toshiro asked in his bored voice.
'Uh, captain, this girl…'
'She's Ichigo Kurosaki's little sister'
'Ichigo's little sister…He has a little sister?'
'Two actually, I have a twin sister.' Karin butted in.
'Two!?'
'Yeah' just then the sky ripped open. Both Karin and Matsumoto gasped. It was a Menos Grande! 'Karin run!' Toshiro shouted.
'What's the point it'll catch up with me in two steps!'
'You know captain, she has got a point.'
'Shut up.' Toshiro and Rangiku pulled out their soul slayers. Karin
stepped back getting worried.
It didn't take 5 minutes; Karin had to admit Toshiro obviously didn't
become a captain for no reason. 'Seriously your soul slayers really cool,
I mean an ice dragon! Wow!' Toshiro just smiled. 'Hey I just realized do
either of you know the time?' Rangiku answered. 'It's 10 past 7.'
'What!?' Karin exclaimed 'I got to get home see ya!' She shouted
already running.
Later that day Toshiro and Rangiku bumped into Renji. 'Hey what are
you doing here in the real world Captain?'
'It appears that Aizen is going to try and make a move which has
something to do with this town.'
'You can come to the meeting at Ichigo's house then!'
'Meeting?'
'Yeah, that's where I'm going now.'
'I guess it could be worthwhile.' All three of them walked to Ichigo's
house, Jumping to what Renji said was his bedroom window. Ichigo,
Rukia and Yoruichi were already there.
