Firstly im going to say that this won't be like other stories, because I dont like how most hitsu-karin stories are plotted, 11 year old kids are hard to write about in a "lovelike" way, and Ichigo seems like he should be a bit older than 15. so im my story everything is the same. but Karin is 16 and Ichigo is 20. Karin, will have her slight power, with the good chance of becoming a shinigami before* she dies, but im not writing some story like all these other ones where shes "so rediculously powerful and obtains shiki and bankai within a week of discovering she has some power." sadly i will have the "new student thing" because i think its a good way to "shock" karin that Toshiro will be staying in Kakura for a while.

DIsclaimer: this will be my only disclaimer. i dont own bleach. obviously.

the story will pick up directly after 133 "hitsugaya's holiday"

remember they're 16 not 11

It was an unusually cold morning in southern Kakura town, the air had the feeling of a thawing winter, while being cheery and bright, the wind had a chill to it. Sun, to bring happiness but the chill had you yet wary with a coat, armor against the cold.

At the apartment of Inoue, A young whitehaired Captain sat enjoying the cold chill. it was early, the sun hadnt risen yet but the world had the surreal shadowless glow that happens only on a clear morning. He sat silent to the outside world while he questioned his soul.

"Your still young child." the Frost guardian Hyorinmaru bade him. "you tell yourself your not a child yet when your Being is forever you are young."

"you know i hate being treated like a child Dragon. Just because of my appearence doesnt mean i am a child.''

"your spirit form is essentially the reflection of your soul Toshiro. you may act like a seasoned captain, but i know your thoughts havent matured past adolesence. I chose you Toshiro, because i knew you could handle position, strength, and duty, immediatly in your life. Your still young to me boy, but you will grow. remember this day and use it for our will." The dragons thoughts receeded back into his world, and the cptain opened his eyes to see a midmorning sun, glaring at him defiantly.

Getting up he walked off the small porch to prepare himself something to eat and his Lieutenant her hangover tonic.

At a rooftop blocks away, A young girl sat wrapped in a blanket in the early morning absorbed in her thoughts, she was wondering what hhad happened to her brother lately. She had gone over that day hundreds of times and knew that when she saw ichigo sprout from his own body with a massive meat cleaver she wasnt imagining things. and ever since her brother had acted strange, taking his meals in his room, went to freinds less, and was more... perverted. She knew something was diffirent. she knew that it looked like Ichigo, and might even be ichigos body, but it wasnt really him. it confused her, and She knew that that kid, Toshiro, knew what was going on. the day before at a soccer game with a high stakes bet (they wouldve lost rights to the feild) one of those masked monsters had attacked, and she had been knocked down, but not unconcious, and saw him sprout from his body like her brother, with a katana and slay the monster. he had turned and was conversing with a brown haired woman, who was dressed like them, and had a katana as well.

She didnt hear their conversation, but the woman left and he returned to his body before she got up. he had immediatly gone and laid fingers to her freinds necks, then approached her and seeing her concious, helped her up.

she was going to find him again, and they were going to talk. hopefully he didnt disappear like her brothe had.

Hearing a buzz she climbed back into her room as her twin yuzu awoke and they began preparing for school that day.

She wore what she always wore to school, one of her brothers old school uniforms. she hated wearing skirts and blouses so she always wore the grey slacks and the jacket.

she got to school and waving goodbye to her twin they seperated to their own very diffirent groups.

Karin went straight to their classroom on the third floor to where she sat at the back of the classroom. She toned everythig out with her ipod and waited untill the class began.

the teacher eventually walked in and began telling the class something which she couldnt hear due to her heaphones. she Pulled off her heaphones so she could listen to the class and the first thing she heard was His name. Toshiro Hisugaya.

He walked into the class and coldly observed the class, his gaze fixating on karin almost instantly, eyes slightly widening.

the teacher told him to take one of the open seats in the back, conveiniently one next to karin.

Sitting down he gave her a small nod and stared at the front of the class.

She couldnt believe it, why would he be in school? Is this a fake?

she slipped him a note,

"toshiro i didnt know you were starting school here"

He passed back a note almost instantly that read

"We'll talk after class kurosaki, pay attention to our teacher."

She grinned, almost exactly what she thought he would write back. so she contented herself to a mixture of staring at him, outside, and a little of what was going on in class to make shure they werent doing something new.

a few endless hours later, the blissful break, lunch, came around and the class filed out, Karin and toshiro waked up to the roof together, where karin knew nobody went since thats where the "kurosakis" would go. Her and her brother wernt exactly veiwed Sane at the school.

"i didnt know you were a kakura high student toshiro," she pulled out her lunch and sat down against the wall.

He pulled out a very neatly packed box and sat down next to her.

"you have questions" he stated.

"yeah" She took a few bites of her lunch, thinking. she decided on her first question.

"you know where Ichigo is dont you?" she looked at him, his perpetual frown deepening.

"I have no idea whare your brother is."

"Dont lie to me! I saw you yesterday, when you killed that monster at the soccer feild." He Tensed

"i saw you and ichi both move out of your bodies"

he Kept eating his food, silently, when he finished he looked at the sky, then over at her.

"you will listen to me carefully." his voice-no Aura became cold and buisinesslike,

"Ill say this once, and you will beleive it for its the truth. no questions untill after this school period is over."

Me and your Brother are whats called Shinigamis..."

He talked for the rest of the lunch, he told her about what a shinigami is, their job, his status as a captain of the 10th devision. Hollows, why he was in Kakura town, where he beleives her brother is, and about the war thats brewing. Quietly Karin absorbed his words, slowly realizing how crazy it sounded, like a game or some story, but she beleived him because she could remember the names he used like Shinigami, and hollows, from hearing them from ichigo's room. He was just begining to tell her a bit about the diffirent levels of hollow when the bell to return to class rang. he stood up immediatly, proffering his hand to help her up.

"I will answer your questions after school kurosaki. now come on."

She looked into his Icy eyes, the one part of him she could read, they showed.. concern for..her?

She Reached up and took his hand.

Chapter one! tell me how it is folks,

well see where this goes!
