I Pray

Hey I'm back again just wanted to post up another Hitsu X Karin fanfic before summer ends. I only spent a approx. a day and a half so I apologize if this isn't what you expect it to be. A little warning characters are off personality. Wanted to try a drama between them so it's sappy and sad.

Summary – Based on the song "I Pray" by Amanda Perez. A few years pass by and Hitsugaya makes a trip to the Human World. Feeling anxious to see his friend Karin again until during his stay he discovers something about Karin that may change their lives. Warning – Drama not my usual action adventure/ romance.

Chapter 1 – You're Back?

White. Everywhere it was white. The glaring brightness of white light covered the streets, the walls, even the air. Within a few seconds the blinding white light faded away welcoming a view of a town. Not just any town, this town was special. It has a history, a history that only very few people knew about. This place was called Karakura Town.

With every step he took, his heart beat faster and faster. He was anxious. Although anxiety was never part of his personality, he had a feeling of impatience eating him up inside. He had to go somewhere. He had to be there, to see her. It had been a little more than 5 years since he last been to the Human World, 6 years to be exact.

How was everything? How was she doing? The thought of her made his heart skip a beat. At first he denied how he felt for her, but the more time separated them, the more he fell for her. Soon he fell so hard for her that every minute of his life felt like hell as he continued to go through life without her.

But now it's different. This is where he takes action. No matter what happens he will find her. He hastily made his way through the Karakura Park and took a turn. As he turned to his left, he bumped into another person.

"Ah … gomennasai," the person whom he bumped into said. He stood there frozen. He couldn't believe what he is seeing. Before him, she stood. The one he has been searching for stood in front of him, flesh and blood, breathing, and apologizing to him.

A small gasp escaped from her lips. It seems that she too was surprised.

"Toshiro? Is that you?"

The two of them continued to gape at each other. Many people were passing by them, moving forward, but to them it was as if time had stopped. In front of him was a girl, no a young woman. He would have never thought she would be this beautiful. Taking in every detail of her, he took a deep breath and blushed.

After what seemed like years she spoke.

"W…what are you doing here? I mean, not that I mind it's just … it's been quite a while since you were last here." She said softly looking away from him avoiding his sea-blue eyes that stared equally surprised at her.

He shyly looked away searching for the right words to say to her.

"I … came to see how things are here." He said reluctantly. Even all this time he still struggled to express his emotions.

"Really." It sounded more like a statement rather than a question.

"So, where are you going," she asked trying to enlighten the mood.

"Nowhere really."

"Um … I see, well would you like to hang out maybe catch up on some good'ol times? That is if you aren't busy."

"No. That's fine." A smile stretched across her face as they both walked around Karakura.

Not much was said between them but it didn't matter to them. Silence was golden after all. They walked towards the park again and they both sat on a swing gazing at the outside world before them. Not a single word passed between them as he turned to stare at her. In his mind, he was in total shock. In the last few years, he had felt that the image of her when they were both younger had been the only thing that he ever thought was beautiful. Now, he gazed at her, amazed, breathless at how much more beautiful she had become. Her black hair now longer cascaded down her back, curves that filled the right places making her look more like a woman rather than a 16 year old girl, and her face, the sweet yet fierce expression that showed all signs of youth. Everything about her mesmerized him, making him fall even more for her.

She sits there unbeknownst to how she was affecting him. Before he could stop himself, he reached out his hand, clasping hers. Surprised by the sudden contact, she brought her head up and stared directly at his eyes.

She didn't need him to explain for his eyes explained it all.

She then clasped his hand giving it a gentle squeeze but not letting go. For the rest of the day they sat on the swings in silence holding each others hand.

In her mind, she was screaming with joy. He was finally back and this time she won't let him go. Not now, not ever.

Hints - Um they are reunited after 6 years.
