'Captain, OH CAPTAIN!' the shouting got louder as my stupid lieutenant drew up to my office.
'What is it Rongiku?' I sighed.
She looked so exited that I thought she must've been with one of her many boyfriends, but then she surprised me by asking, 'haven't you got the message from the head captain? We're going to the world of the living!'
'Oh that, I got the message this morning' I said still confused as to why she was so excited. We had gone to the world of the living plenty of times before and this was just another mission (to find the person who had been killing all the hollows in the world of the living while Ichigo and Rukia where in the soul society), granted we had not been there in a year but why would we have gone? 'Rongiku why are you so excitable today? It's just a mission, it's not as if it's a holiday.'
'Captain how can you say that?! Aren't you even a bit excited that you'll be able to see her again?' She said shocked.
'Who?' I looked at her hoping above all hope that she was not talking about the same person I thought she was talking about.
'Captain don't tell me that you have forgotten about her already, Karin of course!' My stomach dropped. Karin Kurosaki. Ichigo Kurosaki's little sister, and a girl in the world of the living that I had grown relatively close to. A girl that had never listened when I told her I was not in grade school. A girl who always insisted on calling me midget. A girl who had managed to get me to play soccer with her and then revealed that she could see souls, hollows and soul reapers when she got attacked by a hollow and in the efforts to save her friends got the hollow angry at her. There was one problem with us being friends; we had not seen each other in three years. Of course Rongiku Matsumoto had to bring Karin up.
Lost in memories I had not realized that my subordinate was talking to me.
'Captain? Are you all right' she said breaking me out of my thoughts.
'What? Yes of course I am fine' I snapped 'you were saying?'
'I was saying that we should meet up with her while we're there. Are you sure you're alright captain?' She said looking at me with uncertainty.
'No we should not meet up with her, we are on a mission and we can't afford any distractions, also shouldn't you be packing, knowing you, you'll need to pack 5 whole suitcases. We will be leaving in two hours so you should get started'
'Oh yeah! I forgot! See you at the senkaimon gate.' And with that she bustled out. Making sure that my door was shut and that Rongiku was actually gone I pulled the photo I had of Karin out of the secret draw in my desk. The picture was 3 years out of date but I smiled at the picture granny had taken of us. I was trying to pull my self out of the picture but Karin had me by the shoulders and was making sure I did not get away. She was laughing so hard at my failed attempts to get out of the picture and/or my geguy. I understood what she meant by the fact that I looked like a grade schooler and a midget, but in the three years since I left, I had grown a lot.
I put the photo away thinking to myself, how much have you grown Karin?
As we stepped through the senkaimon and onto the bank of the river, I looked out at the sky. I was still the same sky that Karin and I had looked out at all those years ago. I felt that the sky was welcoming me back and though many things may have changed over the years it was telling me that it never would. My problem was that I really had no idea how much everything else had changed.
Karin POV:
Karin was taking long swigs from her water bottle because she had just come off to sub in the soccer game she was playing.
'Karin can I talk to you for a sec?' She turned to see one of her mid fielders named Sangushi talking to her.
He was tall, muscular, popular at school and he always annoyed the hell out of her. Sangushi had been trying to ask her out for the past year but she said no every time. Lots of boys had been trying to date her, but she hated most of them and the others she liked just as friends.
'No, sorry, not today Sangushi' with that she walked up to the sideline to start packing away her stuff. Just as she finished the whistle blew for full time.
Saying goodbye to her team she walked the three kms (I'm Australian) in the direction away from her home and sat in the spot that she and Toshiro had once shared, looking up at the sky thinking about where the white haired midget might be. 'Your probably off doing some important captain business, but still... Why didn't you come back?' All of a sudden she was angry, very angry. 'You could have at least called or what ever it is you do in the soul society! Did you forget about me so easily?!' She was lucky she was alone because her raised spirit energy had attracted 3 small sized hollows. She took them down easily, all the while yelling at Toshiro for making her so angry.
When she had killed them she still felt the anger raging inside her. It was like she was boiling water in her stomach and the more bubbles that burst the angrier she became. She walked back to the fence and lent against it. Eventually she calmed down enough to think about going home and getting the homework done that she had been putting off. As she walked away she looked back at the sky muttering 'where are you midget?'
'Hayar!'As she walked in the door her father launched himself at her. He had taken to doing this to Karin when Ichigo was not there, which turned out to be quite often these days.
She dodged the attack and retaliated by literally walking on him as she went to the kitchen just saying, 'shove off dad, I'm hungry.' She greeted her twin Yuzu and went strait to the fridge and grabbed a rice ball. Then she went upstairs and willed her self to do the homework she had been procrastinating on for the last few days.
When it was done she sat on her bed and started singing one of her favorite songs.
'Hey there Delilah,
What's it like in New York City,
I'm a thousand miles away,
But tonight you look so pretty, yes you do,
Time Square can't shine as bright as you,
I swear it's true,
Hey there Delilah,
Don't you worry about the distance,
I'll be there when you get lonely,
Give my song another listen,
Close your eyes,
Listen to my voice,
That's my disguise,
I'm by your side,
Oh it's what you do to me,
Oh it's what you do to me,
What you do to me,
What you do to me'
