Hey everyone, I'm back! I got a request from wolfko for a ToshiroXKarin story, and this is one of my favorite pairings, so I'm like, what the heck! Check out my other story too, its a Fairy Tail story called After Life. Now for the disclaimer. Orochimaru, I choose you!

Orochimaru: Why am I here... I have to transfer my soul into my precious Sasuke-kun!

Dakota-chan: Sweat Drops* Wow, you really do sound like a pedophile...

Orochimaru: I am not a pedophile!

Dakota: Yes you are. I will stop calling you one if you say the disclaimer though!

Orochimaru: Dakota-chan (kytpu3426) does not own Bleach in any way shape or form.

GOT DAT!

Its been three years since she saw him last. Three years that she waited by the window every night. When she slept, she was haunted my nightmares of him. Yes, Hitsugaya Toshiro haunted Kurosaki Karin. She never functioned right after he left. He left on a bad note. And he never said goodbye...

Flashback:

"I have to leave." Said Toshiro to a now very distraught Karin.

"You're coming back right... Tell me that I'm right..." She now had tears flowing in thin lines down her face...

"You know the answer to that. Captain Commander said that all ranked officers of the Gotei 13 needed to return and stay there... We don't know what's going on... I might be there for years and not know it. You need to find someone better for you... Someone who's not me."

"Toshiro, you and I both know that that won't happen..."

He then thought of something very clever, but required breaking her heart in the process... He was going to leave, but she would not look forward to his return...

"Let's hope this works," he thought to himself...

"You really think that I even want to come back," he said putting up a very convincing "I really don't care" face.

The look on Karin's face was that of disbelief and confusion.

"This place is terrible. The living always take life for granted, you included. You don't know what I would give to be alive again. So, I won't come back. Maybe when you die, you'll understand, but even then, what do I know. People like you never change." With that, he flash-stepped to Urahara's Shop and opened the gate home. "Goodbye Karin, I'll always remember you..." With that last thought, he took off through the gate, not knowing what the hell was happening in Soul Society right then.

End Flashback

Karin, the stubborn girl she is, just waits. She never asks the un-ranked shinigami about what happened that made it so the ranked officers couldn't leave. She never questioned her brother, who was the only one permitted to leave. He was now the Captain of the Eighth division, as the position was vacant and needed filling.

But now, after three years have passed, she was loosing all hope. "Three years..." she though,"Three years and I can tell that all that you told me that night was a lie..."

He, however, was watching her. She didn't know, and it was better that way for right now...

"I'm back, Karin..."
