I do not own Bleach, if you think I do I can suggest a couple of hospitals for you, I won't post this a whole lot because I do have a life though.

She was sick of it and why shouldn't she be. They all pranced around acting like they were something great because they could fight hollows. She had fought them too. Then, even though she could see her brother, and therefore knew his secret, Ichigo still told her she was crazy and didn't know what she was talking about. Next he disappears and even other soul reapers don't know where he is. Ichigo can be so infuriating some times.

Did he really think she couldn't handle it? Was she that weak to him? At least the two shinigami she had met at the soccer field didn't feel the need to lie to her, of course it seemed like her brother hadn't even told any of them he and younger siblings so they could of just thought that he had told her himself.

Karin continued to pace in her room she didn't quite know what to do anymore, and she hated that feeling so she was going to put a stop to it, and she had an idea about how to do that.

She had noticed that the hollows had a feel to them, something about them that seemed to hang in the air and so did her brother. Karin figured that it couldn't be too hard to follow and that's why she always keeps hers hidden, so that nothing can find her. So she did the only logical thing since her brother's was strong she tired to find another strong source and after a moment she did.

Then she felt she had to do the next logical thing, sneak out of the house to follow it from where ever it was coming from. Karin climbed out the window as to not deal with her father and started chasing it. She went down street after street not paying attention to anything but the pressure she was heading to, because it made it easier to hold on to.

Soon she came to a stop in front of the building and was surprised to find where she was. It was Urahara's shop. After a moment of considering going back she continued on ahead. She needed to know why Ichigo was always here, because she felt him very strongly here now that she had arrived, and if this place could help her she would go in. She would do anything to understand all of this. It was weird though because this place seemed pretty normal.

"Find what you're looking for or could I be of assistance Miss?" the man named Urahara asked while smiling.

He seemed rather strange looking. He wore weird wooden sandals and a striped green and white hat and was smiling in a way that made people seem uncomfortable but she wasn't about to let anything he does get to her. "Do you know anything about shinigami?" she asked cutting right to the chase while staring him right in the eye. She wasn't going to back down.

He tilted his head at her and his smile dropped, but only for a second, and then responded cheerfully, "Now why would you barge into a random store and ask a question like that? You haven't even introduced yourself yet."

He was testing her and she knew it, just like he probably already knew who she was. Karin was sure about that and she knew just saying she was the sister of Ichigo and curious was going to get her no where with him. She could tell that he likes to screw with people, but not her. She was too determined and pissed off for that.

"You know who I am, I can tell." was the first thing she said and it wiped the smile off of him face, and again it was only momentarily, "I came here because he keeps disappearing and I don't know why and when I ask him he says I'm crazy and don't see what I think I see." He's smirking but nods for her to continue, "And I came here because I can feel this place the same way that I can feel the hollows and the way I can feel Ichigo, and know that he's been here a lot, because I can sense him around here."

She noticed Urahara's eyes widen just slightly. Something she said affected him but she'm not quite sure what at the moment. He looks at her again. "What do you mean feel this place the way you feel hollows? This place is protected in a way that makes it almost impossible to feel spiritual pressure."

'Spiritual pressure'. I run over the phrase in my head a few times. I guess that is what they call the released energy from everyone. It makes sense. "Well, it was hard to notice at first but when I concentrated I could feel almost an echo of powerful," I pause and then try the phrase, "Spiritual pressure coming from here and when I got close I recognized Ichigo's."

Urahara nodded and then smiled in a creepy way again. Still I didn't react and instead waited for him to talk. "Well, Karin it seems as though you are something special. Here your brother can hardly feel spiritual pressure at all and yet you seem to be able to do so without any training. You guys are different."

Still she didn't say anything. He was starting to make her uncomfortable because he never took his eyes off of her, she swore that he didn't even blink, and he still had his creepy smile. And then called out to someone that she couldn't see. She was watching him, waiting for whoever he called but no one came it but a black cat.

Karin jumped back when it was the cat who spoke next, "We could help you become a shinigami like your brother, only the soul society wouldn't know about you since it seems that you can hide your spiritual pressure."

She looked at them shocked, but she sucked it up. That wasn't why she was here and she didn't want them to take back there offer because they thought she couldn't handle it. "Okay, so when do we start?"

"I like you. You didn't painic at all. Not like your brother." the cat said, "By the way my name is Yoruichi."

Karin nodded. "Thanks. I think."

Urahara was still smiling his creepy smile. "So lets go in the basement and get started. Your brother won't be back for a few weeks, because he's just starting to train with the vizards, and with his talent he'll be there a while."

Karin just said, "Okay." because she didn't know weather that was a complement or an insult.

"Anyway," Urahara continued, "I think we can head down, Yoruichi will make up something to tell your dad and sister."
