Note: 1) I don't own math :D (Even if I'm a student at the University of Mathematics and Informatics)
2) I don't own Bleach
Even if I'm a ToshiroxKarin fan, in time I got bored, so I decided to search another paring … and since any couple that involves Karin is crack I thought of KarinxRenji (Ichigo's sister + Ichigo's shinigami best friend = HOOOTTT), but … I got tired of it fast enough.
Than I saw the episodes with Espada (I totally love them … Espada=Akastuki) and … guess what … you don't know … hmmm too bad … ok I'll tell you: I saw Grimmy. Can you blame me for thinking that he is the hottest character in the bleach series (sorry Ichigo, you are the second) … please … it's not my fault that Kubo made him so … fucking tasty.
Anyway … next step was to search Grimmjow x pairings. Imagine my horror when 90% of the fanfics that included the blue haired hunk were yaoi. After I got tired of reading yaoi with Grimmjow (yeah … I read yaoi … I was so desperate) my mind made an invisible link between him and Karin (Ichigo's eternal enemy + Ichgo's sister = unbearably HOT ) … sooo I'm here :)
As a reference, one of the best fanfics I ever read is "Prize of victory" (I'm still afraid that after this one … my humble story will be another fly to crush) I agree with Nova Alexandria that these two are almost too easy to connect... she's just like Ichigo from so many points of view, which makes her as attractive as her brother... and just like him, she attracts danger like a magnet :d (or al least in my fanfic)
They also have the chemistry on their side
Summary: A dream that becomes reality. The question is what happens when the dream … is a nightmare. Karin Kurosaki & Espada (especially Grimmjow) total crack. SHE will give them HELL.

SIX
Chapter 1: SIX is the answer
"Girly girl, let me sleep, let me die … you're strangling my freedom, you're destroying my being. What have I done to you to deserve such a fucked up treatment … let me out ….and I'll …fucking kill you"
Karin woke up in a pool of sweat, panting heavily from the intense dream she just had. She couldn't say that it was a nightmare or anything like that; it was more like a lecture about the turmoil created by her strange inner feelings. It wasn't the first time she had the same dream, and she was certain it won't be the last.
But now, this was a problem that could be taken care of later, when that homework she was suppose to do will finally reach its last page. Of course her teacher was a total dork and ass which thought that every student had eyes only for his fucking subject … what the hell happened to the world, that suddenly math became soooo important. I mean except form the obvious calculations you do when you buy something, math is … useless.
It was a good thing that her math teach couldn't read minds, or out little Karin-chan would be busted directly to the moon and back … a come and go ticket (go&come).
After a tiring fight with Pythagoras's Theorem and with a freaking Thales … with some fucked up angles which had some stupid relationship with fractions, Karin was destroyed …. Someone was drunk when he created that equation (sorry Thales … I have nothing against you, just the fact that … in middle school I wanted to strangle you for creating that alike triangles theorem)
With her hands behind her head she watched through the dirty glass of her window the big clouds taking different forms and shapes, one of them abandoning the group for a better place in the west … maybe there "he" will have a better life, maybe there "he" will became the ever lasting rain.
Who knows? Who's to care?
"Damn!" screamed the girl rushing to the door "I totally forgot about Ichi-nii" she took a big jacket from the chair, not realizing that it was in fact her brother's "Fuck!" she swore when her big toe came in contact with the hard wooden leg of the chair "Somebody hates me today" then when her forehead hit the door frame another wave of curses left her mouth "You little … fuck you, and the architect that made you so fucking low … we are not dwarfs for god's sake … and die you fucking wood and the fucking tree that made you so fucking hard" after she took a breath she added "And fuck me … along with my screwed up logic"
With the help of the divinity, the raven girl was able to leave the house without any other injury. In the street a local gang was discussing the plan of conquering the whole town, on the other side an old lady was trying to pull a box from the garbage truck without alerting the driver … and so on. In other words the town was just the same way; nobody felt different. It was like the Aizen incident never happened … peace and quite.
But the Winter War had taken place over the fake Karakura Town, Aizen almost destroyed it in order to create the King's Key … Gin Ichimaru was dead, just like Kaname Tosen. The mighty Espada, the pride of Hueco Mundo, the Vasto Lordes that could destroy Soul Society, dead as well. So yeah … every bad guy was six feet under.
"Then why do I feel like something bad is about to happen, like a cloud is threatening my peace of mind … why? Maybe I'm just paranoid. " thought Karin feeling a snap inside her heart.
After 10 minutes of walking on the pavement, Karin reached her destination: the Karakura Mall. A huge building, resembling a medieval castle, covered with a reddish brick pattern. Nobody blamed the company for that unstylish Mall; the fault was without a doubt deserved by the inhabitants that "suggested" (the kind of "suggesting" Aizen does) a classic style … by classic they meant: A copy of the Dracula Castle; even if this was a Mall, not fucking Transylvania (I had to add something about my country … I'm a stinking patriot)
"Hey!" screamed Jinta waving his hand "We are heerreee!" again he had to emphasize every word in order to "court" her twin, Yuzu, that implied that he was suppose to be polite with Karin … quite hard coming from two natural enemies (two Karakura Red).
"I can see you, dork" answered raven-hair "I may be tired, but I'm not blind"
"Bitch" muttered the boy in a low voice, so his love interest couldn't hear; too bad Karin wasn't deaf either.
"You little motherfucker" her right knee was about to collide with a certain Jinta-male-organ, when her brother suddenly appeared behind her, grabbing her elbow in order to attract her full attention.
Karin knew from her experience that when Ichigo wanted something urgent from her he made this particular gesture, which meant … I wanna talk with you NOW. So, due to this interruption, Jinta lived another day with his you-know-what intact.
When the two siblings were a fair distance from the group, Ichigo eyed her suspiciously earning in return The Kurosaki Frown and The Hollow Ichigo Glare … all in one: Karin Kurosaki.
"You are … just like me" sighted Ichigo, discarding for a second the valley between his eyebrows "Anyway … I just wanted to ask you why …" but he was stopped by Karin's ironic comment.
"This is not a compliment Ichi-nii, no matter how much you love yourself and so on …"
"Can I Continue?"
"Sorry" she looked the other way "Please continue."
Ichigo stared at her for another second, recollecting his speech. Because Karin had interrupted his trail of thoughts, now he had no idea what to say. He was stuck in this silence … with his sister … with his always nosy sister.
"I want to ask you what the hell happened to your vocabulary" suddenly remembered the strawberry "You swear at least 20 times a day, sometimes 20 times a phrase"
Karin grinned, coming with the ingenious idea of dashing out of her brother's reach; hell, even out of the town if that could stop her nii-san from muffling her in his "protection". Instead of that she just answered that "I do not have a swearing problem … I just … swear when I'm angry"
Ichigo's frown deepened, if it's possible "Which, by the way, is ALL THE TIME!" screamed the boy, clearly annoyed by his sister's reserved attitude and her pathetic of an excuse. He was not really upset that she was reserved; he was upset, because she was reserved with him … her big (overprotective) brother.
Karin was about to respond to the obviously offensive accusation with another offensive attack on the subject of Ichigo's masculinity, when Jinta "thought" that throwing a tree branch at Karin would be fun … fun my ass; but we all know that Jinta isn't quite a thinker, so let's give him a break … since Karin won't be so merciful.
Swear: "You SON OF A BITCH" screamed the girl at him, her resemblance with a hurricane becoming clearer by every passing second "I will skin you ALIVE! Did you hear me? You little piece of TRASH, SHIT and any other excrement created by mankind!" she took a short breath, calming her nerves, but not enough to stop "I will snap EVERY BONE in your FUCKING body in six till it's nothing left … FUCK YOU!"
Her friends and even the passer bys were left dumbstruck in the middle of the road; after such a demonstration, who wouldn't. Moreover Karin switched her attention to a shocked Ichigo "And I'm not angry all the time …. And I DO NOT have a swearing problem … And you should just go … fuck someone"
…. A moment of silence ….
Her older brother stared at her for a short moment, before bursting into laughter in a way that made Karin blush at her own stupidity. Her logic was indeed screwed up beyond recuperation.
"Look Karin" said her brother with a hint of regret in his voice "You are … most of the time … angry. I cannot describe the way you behave, but I know one thing … it is strange"
"You're the one to talk" snarled Karin loudly "And that's my line!" even if her thoughts were the opposite.
"He's right. I'm always on edge, always ready to fight, to defend, to kill. I'm like an animal in a cage struggling to break free."
"Look" stated Karin "I wanna go home and take a nap … I had this HUGE homework at math, and I'm still tired … and angry" *snap* "That doesn't mean that I'm always angry" Ichigo said nothing, so she took this as a sign of acceptance "and" she added reluctantly "tell Jinta that if he ever dears to hit me again … I will" she really wanted to say fuck, but she called off, judging that after the previous show, another swear would be the last straw "tear his brain in six pieces, and I'll feed it to … a hollow"
She rapidity took off, not waiting for an answer.

Another dream:
Its arms kept her in place .. she panicked…she struggled against the unwanted hold, eyes rolling uncontrollably before settling in her head.
"Please" she begged the person, the object behind her "it hurts ..."
The person didn't answer, just tightened the arms around her. It was beyond unbearable … almost suffocating. Again the image of a wounded animal in a cage roaring and chewing the metal bars appeared in her mind. She was obligated by the situation to scream like a frightened girl, which she really was.
"LET ME GO!"
She woke up suddenly, dramatically popping up from the bed. In the process, her forehead hit the bottom of the shelf that was inconveniently positioned above her head; this was rewarded with a wave of words that shouldn't be mentioned (even in a M rated fanfic)
"(the censored part) You want to sleep, you want to die …. You want out …. Just choose something for god's sake"
Luckily for her the Kurosaki's were out, buying a birthday gift for Tatsuki; knowing her father's taste and lack of originality, the gift he was suppose to buy would be a book … if you add Yuzu's choice … a receipt-book and since Ichigo was just as bad … a Chinese-receipt-book.
After this dream she swore she'll never sleep after lunch, or after Mexican food. All this thinking about Mexican and Chinese food, made Karin remember that she still had an unfinished project at math and a ….
"Fuck…. I forgot about the extra lesson … freaking math… stupid math teacher …. And stupid Pythagoras" the raven haired girl searched for the matching top of her school uniform. When the thoroughly digging in the pile of clothes owned by her closured only in a ravished room, Karin gave up and took one of her brother's shirts. It had a food stain on the collar, but the girl didn't notice the rather smelly and dirty shirt. It was a shirt ... anything else did not matter.
On her way to school, Karin was usually stopping at one of her "guys", literally dragging him to the place of demise, but today she was too late to bother with her lazy friend. She wasn't even sure if he was obligated to attend this extra lesson. The teacher only said where and when they were to meet and not to skip it, because it was important … yeah …this course and another 20 other of torturing geometry, trigonometry and the worst of all, algebra.
After the fastest run ever, the girl was safe at school in her seat by the window and not late. Her classmates, more precisely the girls were staring at her. Even if it was not the first time she came to school dressed in a dirty shirt, or wearing pants instead of the official skirt, it was the first time she combined them. On the top of them all, the shirt she chose from her brother's closet was loosened abound the neck revealing a good portion of her cleavage, leaving the top of her breasts exposed along with the black bra underneath it.
Every particle in her attire screamed "I'm a whore", but they knew better. Kurosaki Karin was not a whore, she was Katrina impersonated in an apparently harmless 17 years old high school student.
After 5 minutes of waiting, which were spent on a stare-at-Karin contest, the teacher, a young man with brownish hair and matching eyes, kicked the door open and said:
"Kurosaki … what the hell is that clothing?" even if the voice was hard, the amused look in the young man's eyes betrayed the satisfaction he was experiencing "Is that even a shirt?"
Karin averted her eyes from the blue sky and mover her point of interest back in class "Yes, it is."
"Really?" mumbled the teacher "It looks like a dirty old curtain" and he smirked while he took his seat in front of his students.
"Maybe …. But it is better then an expensive shiny Gucci suit … wore by a scarecrow" She knew how to piss off people … and her math teacher was an easy target.
"Go to hell" muttered the man. He was used to Karin's distasteful behavior and attire. You cannot throw every trash form the country, but you can at least try… and Kurosaki Karin was the biggest disappointment and trash that was ever seen in Karakura High School. After two seconds of revising what he just though, the brown haired teacher had to add: Apart from her brother … he was still 1-st place… 3 years after graduating.
"How is your brother doing?" it was an intentional questions, focused on making Karin feel like shit. Of course it did not work.
"Fine … still rocking" a grin spreading on Karin's unemotional face; she moved her point of view in the school yard, ignoring her teacher's annoying voice.
He said something (bad) about Ichigo, but she was too engaged in staring to listen to any of that bastard's nonsense.
Anyway, her course passed rapidly, to Karin's pleasure and to class official bookworm displeasure, BUT every good thing has its dark side. In this case, the teach suggested a paper test, the students argued, the bookworm took the teacher's side … the students argued more … and in the end they arranged a truce: delay the test for next week.
Karin was about to gather her school tools when the math professor (a.k.a. The Dark Lord) summoned her in front of the class to answer a question. His statement was something like "If you don't want a test at least tell us the way you'll solve this problem"
The (only) Kurosaki genius looked annoyed at the problem written on the chalkboard, like "she" was the arch enemy. Now she felt bad that the last two hours of intensive math were spend, by her, in a contest between staring at the sky and glaring at the passer bys. If she had just paid a little attention at the aberrations said by the Dark Lord, now she would have been able to solve the damn problem. Life was screwing with her.
The raven head was about to proclaim her total lack of knowledge in the department of trigonometry, when a blurred image representing a geometrical 6, strange shaped on the edges, suddenly appeared in her subconscious. The creepy thing was that it looked like a tattoo and she could almost distinguish the skin underneath it. Karin reached forward hoping to feel the tattoo (skin), but she was brought back in class by her teacher's aggravating voice.
She studied her classmates, which were sending her free smirks, and only after she saw her bare hand onto the cold surface of the chalkboard, she realized the scene she must have put for the animals (another word for classmates) in her class.
"Six" she said instinctively.
The mighty Dark Lord glared at her, but reluctantly said "It's correct. Now would you be so kind to solve the problem with the entire set of deductions?"
Karin was again in a pinch … how was she suppose to answer the teacher's request when she had no idea where the answer came from. Could she tell them that she had dreamt the number six? No … it was bad enough that she was the school's freak; another gossip saying that Kurosaki junior was working with the devil and voodoo, black magic is not an option … The fact that everyone "knew", due to one of her outbursts, that she was seeing ghosts and sometimes talking with them was just as far as Karin wanted to take this.
Luckily the bell rang just when she was about to abandon any stupid excuse and tell the truth ("I guessed").
The Dark Lord released her from the problem solving duty, but before that he mumbled a "Next time I'll get you".
Karin smirked and replied "Next time I'll be ready". Even after the dangerous experience, the girl didn't lose her guts. That's what made her a Kurosaki.

I'll use the beginning of the Hell Chapter as a support for the upcoming actions.
Also in the part with the-swearing-Karin I used a picture of Hidan(from Naruto) in which he sais he has no swearing problem and in the next slide he lets loose a wave of fucks, mothers and any other relative that he's aware of.
