Nothing without You
I do not own bleach
Please review! It's an experimental while I'm pending my other fanfiction. Thanks for reading! (By the way, I REALLY need an idea for the plot of the story, it would really help if you guys could give me a few ideas.) and like I said, it's an experimental, so this is just a little something I decided to try out. Thanx for reading!

I sat at the table working an algebra problem with Yuzu.
"Okay, four X and seven is…?" Yuzu pointed to the four and down the long line of numbers and variables with the tip of her impeccably sharpened pencil. I ran the numbers through my head. I was never good at math, but Yuzu was almost three grades ahead in math. I didn't know how she did it. She was almost a grade ahead in practically every class otherwise, so usually, I just ask her the questions and she gives me the answers.
"Thirty-five?" Yuzu sighed.
"No Karin," she dropped the pencil onto the paper, leaving a small dash mark on the zero making it look like a six. "It was forty-seven." She stood up and murmured something under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." She returned to washing the dishes. "just try your best Karin, okay?" I nodded and returned to the problem before me. Damn algebra, solve your own problems. I thought to myself.
I stared down at the math problem like it was a foreign language. "Yuzu!" I whined. I stared at her until her eyes met mine.
"Pleeeaaseee?" I begged.
"no,"
"Pleeeeaaaaseee?" I pushed.
"Fine!" she cried. "The answer is seventy-seven and five tenths!" I smiled in satisfactory as I wrote down the answer. I had never been one to cheat, but when it came to math, the "no cheating" rule didn't apply. My cellphone began to ring in my pocket, startling me and making me draw one long, jagged line across my paper.
"Damn it!" I cried, reaching into my pocket. I looked at the caller ID and it read elementary kid. "What does he want? I haven't heard from him in almost three years." Yuzu looked up at me from the dishes.
"Who?"
"Elementary kid." I pronounced loud enough for Yuzu to hear.
"Him? We haven't heard from him in almost three years!" She held a metal spoon to her chest dramatically.
"Don't Yuzu, you're getting a water stain on the front of your shirt." I opened the phone. "hello?" Toshiro's voice came loud and clear through the phone.
"Kurosaki," still calling his friends by their last names, I see. "Meet me in the park."
"Okay, but where's my hello, or my 'hi Karin, how are you after not checking in with you for three straight years?' " I said coldly. "why do I have to go to the park with you?" I admit, I was pretty angry at him for ignoring me for three straight years. But I had to understand that he was fighting the winter war, but he could have at least sent a letter or something.
I could practically hear him wince over the phone. "sorry, I just thought that after all this time that we could, you know, catch up on stuff." His voice was full of emotion that I couldn't read.
"Fine, I'll meet you there in five." I said, closing the phone before he could say anything else. "Yuzu, I'm leaving to see Toshiro at the park. I'll call you before I get home."
Yuzu nodded and returned to the dishes. "Okay, but don't be gone too long, I don't want you missing dinner like Ichi-nii does." I smiled and pushed the chair in.
"Fine Yuzu, I'll be home by six-thirty." I said, shuffling through a pile of clothing and pulling out a pair of mismatching socks. I tugged them on and walked out of the kitchen and stopped at the front door. I pulled my hair back so half of it was down, and half of it was up. I checked my appearance. I didn't want old man Toshiro thinking that I'd turned into a total slob over the three years he had been gone.
I fussed over a blue hoodie that I had pulled on over my plain black t-shirt and stuffed the pockets into my denim skinny jeans. I pulled on a pair of old tennis shoes and then opened the door to leave.
"Who are you going to see?" came a voice behind me.
"Why are you asking, Ichigo?"
"because, I've never seen you fuss so much over yourself in front of the mirror before." Ichigo said, nodding his head towards the mirror.
"Whatever. I'm going to see Toshiro at the park, I'll be home by six-thirty." I said, slamming the door behind me in haste. I walked down the road and pondered on what I was going to say to Toshiro when I saw him. I could say, "hey, I'm pissed at you for leaving me for so long." Or something like, "I missed you, why didn't you call or something?" both of these ideas sucked, and I knew it. I felt butterflies pulsating inside of my stomach. I don't think that I had ever felt so jittery in my life.
"It's fine Karin, you're best friends, remember?" I tried to reassure myself, but the pep talk wasn't working. I picked up my pace. I have been longer than five minutes, and I had to hurry before Toshiro assumed that I ditched.
When I reached the park, I started searching for the familiar white hair and the usual skinny jeans and polo shirt. I shielded my eyes from the sun and glanced around. I spotted him where we usually met when we were kids. I took a deep breath and made my way down the hill and to the spot where Toshiro Hitsugaya waited.
Okay everyone, I know I'm already writing another fanfiction at the moment, but this one just had to be put down on paper!
I'll be adding the next chapter in three days! Reviews are welcome, constructive criticism is also welcome! Thanx guyz!
