Hello

A/N: Just a bit of HitsuKarin sadness. It's kinda depressing in the beginning. Just a little warning.

Song: Hello by Evanescence

Lyrics

Hello

Playground school bell rings again

Rainclouds come to play again

Toshirou felt the rain fall down his face, washing blood off his face.

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

He dropped his Zanpakuto as Rangiku walked up to him, her eyes saddened. Toshirou widened his eyes.

"No…" He whispered. Rangiku looked down.

"I'm so sorry Taichou." Toshirou ran past her to the fallen body.

She can't be …..

Hello I am your mind giving you someone to talk to Hello

"KARIN!" Toshirou yelled as he saw her mangled remains.

She smiled.

"Toshirou…I'm fine, "she said weakly as he pulled her into his arms.

If I smile and don't believe soon I know I'll wake from this dream

"No... You're not," He said looking at her. His hands glowed a warm green from his healing kido. She smiled softly.

"It's okay, just let me go. I'm perfectly fine in your arms here," Karin said coughing up a bit of blood, but was too weakened to wipe it away.

Don't try to fix me I'm not broken.

"No, there has to be something we can do! I can't leave you like this!" He said not wanting to give up yet.

"I'm not in any pain, I can't feel anything." Karin lied. She was feeling Toshirou's pain, and that weakened her even more.

Hello I'm the lie, living for you so you can hide
a tear ran down Toshirou's face.

"Don't leave me, Karin."

Don't Cry

"Don't cry Toshi," Karin whispered. Her last words to be spoken to him.
"KARIN!" Toshirou fell into wracking sobs. He felt so broken never had he felt so lost in his life before.

"Karin…don't leave me here…Karin…" Toshirou cried over her body. He felt as if every person who he had opened up to ended up leaving him.

Karin's body dissolved into shimmery dust in his hands.

"WHY?" Toshirou yelled out to the air.

"Taichou…" Rangiku placed her hand onto his shoulder. He turned and cried into her shihakusho.

"It's alright, let it all out Taichou." She said rubbing his back soothingly. Toshirou's tears were of anguish, guilt, and anger towards himself. Why hadn't I come earlier? Why had Karin tried to take on the Arrancar by herself? Why? WHY? WHY? Toshirou thought to himself.

WHY?

Karin felt herself materialize again. She then opened her eyes.

Then suddenly I know I'm not sleeping

"Toshi…" She whispered as she sat up. She heard heart wrenching sobs from behind the trees, and she went to investigate. She saw the white hair and was fixing to run out.

"Toshirou…" she said reaching her hand towards him.

Hello I'm still here

"Toshirou!" He heard his name being called; he wasn't ready to face anyone just yet.

Rangiku gasped.

"Taichou! Look!" Toshirou pulled himself out of his pity enough to look at what had Rangiku so shocked. He was seeing Karin. KARIN. But she wasn't in her clothes that she died in. She was wearing a standard Shinigami outfit.

"Karin?" He said disbelievingly. He cautiously stepped towards her and stopped mid-step.

She smiled.

"Are you gonna just stand there and wonder, or are you gonna come here?" she said running up to him, unbelievably fast. She stopped, reaching him and he held her close in his arms. But he wondered one thing.

"How?"

She looked up at him. "When people die, they become souls. I was already a Shinigami, so I just lost my physical body. Didn't you know that?"

He smiled at her, only she would act like this in a situation like this one.

"Of course I did." He said kissing her softly.

All that's left of yesterday

A/N: Whew! I nearly cried when I was writing this and listening to the song! It made me sooo sad, but helped me get rid of my depressing mood. SO TA DA! I might put up a sequel to this if enough people want it. So review if the site is working!

JA NE!
