On The side note I just edited and added things to this story I wrote this back in 2008, I was young and apparently really bad at spelling. -_-'

So enjoy the edited version of my story.

Chapter 1


Karin Kurosaki walked towards her family clinic. She wore nothing but a pair of jeans and a brown tank top. A grey hoodie covered up the many bruises and scratches she harbored from training.

She no longer held that cocky and rude expression on her face but instead wore a blank expression.

/ I'm in deep crap. How do I explain everything to my family? Well here goes nothing. /

Karin opened up the door and steeped in keeping her hood up. The first person she sensed was her father, who was currently running towards her.

"My Karin-chan is home, my precious flower has returned."

Karin patted her father's back awkwardly because normally she would have punched him before he even glommed her. "Dad" she looked away ,"Im sorry I left like that I have no excuse for my actions at all."

He studied his daughter for a minute. This girl was not the Karin that left this girl was more matured and seemed much older. He put an arm around her pulling her as they walked.

"Your sister was very worried about you and Ichigo well I'd say he's been worried to. I'm just glad your home" he turned and faced her with a stern expression, "never do it again do you understand me it's bad enough your brother is never home but not you to."

Karin nodded breathing a sigh of relief. /That was to easy the, old man knows more than he lets on. / She gave a simple nod "Hai"

Her father ruffled her hair as she walked up the stairs. She blinked something was missing. It had only been two months since she'd been gone but it felt like two years. She frowned , it felt good to be home yet so foreign.

/ Why do I feel like Ichigo is the one who is the angriest at me? / She stopped and looked at his door to his room.

/ Maybe I should tell him. He is a shinigami to/ she sighed shaking her head as she walked past his door to her own room.

/ Then he'd ask me how I got my powers. Which reminds me I need to confront the old man about being a ex captain of the 13 squads of Seriate./ she walked in her room through her stuff on the ground, and sat on her window seal pulling her knees to her chest and staring out in to the sky until her eyes felt so heavy she closed them and nearly fell asleep.

"CRASH" Karin jumped up in to her defense of stance for hand to hand combat.

/stupid baka, ichi-nii can't even come home quietly./ Her eyes widened. / And he brought over some people as well… this bad. /

It was important she stayed off the radar of soul society unlike her older brother she had no intention of getting wrapped up in soul society's problems she had enough on her plate with out added stress. Speaking of stress Karin wondered how the hell she was going to talk her way out of this. She wasn't worried about Ichigo he wasn't observant. Her father more or less was suspicious but wouldn't call her out on her two month escapade. But Yuzu .. Yuzu would be a problem.

A wave of guilt rushed through Karin, she would have to lie to her twin, her other half they told each other everything. Yuzu was the one person Karin let in and talked to but she knew she would have to pull away. Yuzu was to precious and innocent to be dragged in to the mess that had found Karin and to much of a liability Karin wasn't going to risk having. Yet this was her twin she owed Yuzu an apology.

/with luck she wont kick up to much of a fuss. I'll apologize but I have to distance my self from her its to dangerous./

Karin walked down the hall way her hood up and hands in her pocket, she walked in to the living room not even pausing. She had to apologize to her twin. She walked in to the kitchen unnoticed by Yuzu; and leaned on the entrance door. Karin watched her other half work away in the kitchen. It still amazed her at how different they were, her twin reminded her so much of there mother. Yuzu looked normal as she happily stirred the soup pot, but the tension in her shoulders gave her away to how worried she was. Karin was willing to bet her two months of being AWOL hadn't been to kind to her twin.

"Hey" Karin called relaxed as if she was care free when all she really wanted to do was run and take down a summons or hallow than face the pain she caused her twin. .

Yuzu dropped the spoon she had and whipped around staring at Karin in shock tears already clouding her eyes. She quickly embraced her sister tightly crying holding Karin as if she would slip away. Two months with out her twin, no notice prior, just a note saying sorry I'll be home soon. Don't worry!. Don't worry the very thought of the note made yuzu angry, she never got angry but she spent two months worried sick about her twin. She pulled away and through her tears glared at Karin taking in her twins appearance. Karin's hair was longer shoulder length, every thing looked normal except she was lacking her normal attire, something was off but yuzu couldn't place it. Even with her twin so close it seemed Karin was still away.

"Karin-chan we were so worried about you! I was so worried! How could you just leave like that and not tell me! Me your twin, Dad was a wreck! Two Months Karin, I thought something had happened to you, we all did its bad enough Ichi-Nii is never home but not you to Karin. '" Yuzu wasn't just angry she was pissed' Karin rarely ever saw this side of her twin. " And Why are You wearing that Hoodie its no cold yet."

Karin anime sweat dropped of all the things for yuzu to focus on. "Yuzu I'm sorry I know I should have warned you ahead but I knew you would try and stop me and I had a good reason. I'm so sorry I left you to worry but I had to get something's figured out"

Yuzu didn't look pleased " And what things did you need to figure out that kept you away for months?" yuzu took in her twins body language , Karin's look was blank as she held Yuzu's stare.

"I can't tell you that. Just Know it was important enough I had to leave to fix it. I know I've only been gone two months but a lot happened. And I'm sorry but I cant tell you or anyone about it, it's better this way just know I'm home now and I don't plan on leaving again like that but if I do I promise to tell you and find away to let you know I'm okay." Yuzu's dropped her glare and stared at Karin sadly her twin never kept anything from her ,so there most be good reason, it didn't stop the hurt that she felt.

"Karin-chan w….. I'm glad your home" wiping the tears from her eyes she hugged her twin again. Karin relaxed and hugged her twin back.

"Now that that's taken care of… if anyone else ask I was at soccer boot camp"

Yuzu looked gave her twin the –I cant- believe you- look "soccer camp in the beginning of school" Karin only nodded. Yuzu sighed knowing shed go along with it because Karin asked her to.

Yuzu nodded before getting back to cooking dinner. "dinner will be ready soon"

Inside Karin's mind she did a victory dance but part of her felt bad for not telling her twin the truth but hey it was for the greater good. /Well that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Now that means the only one to cause trouble would be Ichigo./

Karin walked out of the kitchen bracing her self for impact the moment her foot hit the living room floor she was grabbed up in to her brother's strong embrace. Not that she'd ever admit it but she had missed her brother terribly it was no secret how close the siblings use to be. She had missed her big brother protector; sadly he couldn't protect her this time. She ignored the other people in the room.

Ichigo stood and looked at his sister she was taller and well her hair had grown it had only been two months but it felt like for ever. Something was off about her she was different; something in her eyes reminded him of how he looked after he saved Rukia in soul society. With that thought his mind took off at warp speed, the thought of Karin fighting those things or her becoming a shinigami horrified him. In his agitation of the many scenarios playing in his head his anger began to rise. /how could she be so stupid/

Karin smirked feeling Ichigo's reitsu flare up not that her expression changed from relaxed. "Ichi-nii calm down I don't see why you're getting so worked up? I've been away at soccer camp."she stated in a bored manner, and just like that the short fuse to Ichigo's temper went up in flames.

"WORKED UP! WHAT THE HELL KARIN YOU WHERE GONE TWO MONTHS AND YOU ASK WHY I'M WORKED UP! YOUR FREAKEN 13 YOU CANT GO PRANCING AROUND ON YOUR OWN!" Karin didn't even flinch she looked bored, secretly enjoying the show.

Ichigo continued "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED WE'VE ALL BEEN? HOW COULD YOU JUST LEAVE!" he was mad how could Karin stand there like it was no big deal, did she not understand the danger she could have put herself in. / why the hell is she so relaxed why isn't she yelling back/

"One I don't prance Ichii-nii and two how does it feel to be the one left to worry? I can to a degree understand what you must be feeling what everyone else felt with me gone I'm sorry you were worried but as I have stated before I was away training. You shouldn't be such a hypocrite you do it all the time. I would appreciate if you would stop glaring, your face is going to get stuck"

Ichigo blinked/ who the hell is this and where is Karin/ it clicked at what she had said. " What the hell Karin, Don't lie to me I don't believe for a second you were at soccer camp."

Karin smirked. /so he isn't as oblivious as I thought, still this is a problem, if I call him out I know he wont respond./

"Then where else would I be Ichi-nii?" she cocked a eye brow and Ichigo glared harder. Karin sighed knowing she wouldn't get any where so maybe half truths would work " Ichigo just let it go I'm home and safe. You never say where you've been and I don't ask. As much as I'd love to sit and talk about it I cant… relax, stop looking to panicked I'm not in any trouble or I'd come straight to you." Ichigo relaxed at that still agitated but she had a point however his big brother complex just couldn't allow him to let it go...something wasn't adding up.

He closed his eyes taking in a deep breath, when he opened them he looked calmer "were did you go Karin" he saw her hesitate, "no lies"

Karin looked away and remained silent emotions gone. The look his sister had made him cringe he hated when Karin went emotionless but still his curiosity was at peak. Karin not talking was like issuing Ichigo a personal challenge. /challenge excepted little sister/ " I will find out the truth Karin"

Karin sighed seeing her brothers determined face she walked past him annoyed that he wouldn't drop it. " what ever Ichigo "

"Oh and Karin" Karin turned half way up the stares " welcome home" for the first time since coming home Karin smiled.


I do not own bleach except my ideas. Also i have a huge fear of making Karin to ooc,however in my defense Karin is the type of character who has a basic parts to her identity that make her the Karin we all know and love... However I full believe she also has a lot of room to grow giving me tons of room to add to her character as I see fit. So in other words I reserve the right to borrow Karin and use her for my story as I see fit. Though she is not my character.. I do have fun writing her. So if you don't like how I've written her my apologize this story is not for you.

On the other hand if you plan to stick around please review! I like knowing what my audience thinks...also let me apologize in advance for the fact I update really slowly.

Big thank you to those who have followed me and encouraged me to keep writing.

hope ya'll enjoyed the new and improved version? thoughts? feedback please! Pelawen out.
