St. Patrick's Day 2009

Her POV

She is sitting at the Bar waiting …. a black leather biker jacket is laying on the back of her chair, She is dressed in a pair of straight leg stretch Jeans, which are tucked in her favorite Kenneth Cole 3 inch stiletto heels boots, she is wearing a simple teal colored cotton blouse, which has the first two buttons undone showing her off her beautiful cleavage; her skin is flawless, her black hair is long shoulder length.

Her eyes capture the attention of anyone who looks at her, they are large and dark violet almost black in color, her lips soft like small pillows and painted with a dusty rose, her smile is enchanting, around her neck she is wearing a delicate platinum chain with an unusual charm hanging from it ..

It is a teal dragon head which has a Daffodil clutched in it mouth, which she lightly touches, as she looks to the bartender and orders the special.

She is Karin Kurosaki, Sister to the 5th Division captain Ichigo Kurosaki, and twin to Yuzu Kurosaki, who is engaged to be married in two weeks to Jinta, and she is no longer the tomboy from long ago, now there is a stunning young woman.

As she looks down into a green beer the Bartender sat in front of her, she chuckles as she thinks of her friends Tammi, Yuri, Hisa, and of course the crazy American Cherie who where 2000 miles away in New York City celebrating without her, they had just texted her pictures from their favorite spot, right outside of campus on Broadway and W. Houston street…..

St. Patty's day was the groups favorite time to celebrate… it was a day everyone was Irish even a beautiful raven haired Japanese medical student from Karakura Town Japan…

Karin had graduated from high school and left Japan for college in America ... She now attended New York University, known as NYU, majoring in medicine, like her father she wanted to be a doctor.

She was living in refurbished Condo in Greenwich Village with her four crazy friends …. She had just completed her undergraduate work and was to begin medical school in four weeks, So when during her graduation celebration, Yuzu requested that she return home to Japan for the wedding, as much as she wanted too, she could not refuse….

Karin continues to sit there waiting... she now starts to watch a new video she had just received, she almost laughs aloud as she sees Cherie drinking down a Car bomb… with this guy she apparently just met….Her friend completely embarrasses the guy who apparently can't hold down his liquor…

As she continues to watch the video she covers her smile with her hand trying not to laugh out loud…….she knows she is being watched ….. She knew he was there …he followed her into the bar, but she chose to ignore him, so she sat and waited.....

It had been four and a half years since he broke her heart… her prom, He was the only guy she had ever opened up to, talking, laughing, playing soccer, training, her first Crush NO he was her first Love,

She told him everything, he was her best friend and she wanted him to take her out on her special night, but when she asked, he refused, saying "It would not look right for a captain to engage in such childish activities as the Prom"…

It broke her heart to go alone

she told him how she felt later that night, when he unexpectedly walked her home he replied, "we are only friends Kurosaki , nothing more" it was those words which helped her to decide to accept the full scholarship to NYU….. She was Crushed … she left, never saying goodbye and never turning back….

She continues to grin as she now picks up her beer and slowly drinks it, thinking "I don't believe I am sitting in this stupid bar… waiting for him and for the might Hitsugaya Taicho to walk over here and speak"…

Her cell starts to ring … the ring tone plays …'to the left...to the left…to the left' … she looks at the caller id, Ichi-nii … she rolls her eyes … as she answers...

"Where are you…? I am waiting for you" Karin now taps her fingers on the bar, showing her impatience with her brother

" What… you are still there…. Why …. Rukia said you could not go out again…. Ichi-nii … you are SO Whipped it is embarrassing… put her on phone… NO. .. Why not … she is what … you know what Ichi-nii… I am so …going to Bankai your ass when I see you …" (yes she is a Shinigami),

She rolls her eyes, takes a deep breath then hangs up the phone... her face momentary reflects irritation, as she thinks to herself, 'What the hell…. why am I here, I should be in New York … Oh yeah, Yuzu's wedding' ….

Touching her charm, she closes her eyes and breathes deeply as if calming herself; she then finishes her drink, stands and quickly turns to leave, coming face to face with him…


His POV

He had growth taller he is 5' 11, his features had finally matured, he now looked in his twenties, and his body was tight and muscular, from constant training, his eyes where greenish teal, he now wore his thick silver hair a little longer, making him look more on the edge then before

four and half years ago …. She had done that to him, he had changed …

Today he wore jeans, and a blue/ teal sweater, ankle boots... he never really wore a jacket, because he like the chill in the air… his face was the same, and at this moment he wore the same scowl as always…

In a word he is handsome as hell,

He is Toushirou Hitsugaya; known too many as Hitsugaya Taicho... the 10th Division Taicho the boy genius, but to her he is Toushirou, to himself the foolish idiot who lost his girl

He had heard she had returned…. he went looking for her… he looked in their usual place but she never showed up there, he waited for two days she never came…he found her walking in town, so he followed her here to this bar. He is now in his Gigai standing across the bar watching her Thinking…

I messed up four and half years ago… I was her teacher, she like her brother had gained her Shinigami powers while still a human, so I was sent to train her and we became best friends.

Everyone had teased me about her, Matsumoto drove me crazy 'Karin Chan this...Karin Chan that'... Her brother threatened me...

We would sit and talk all the time; I always seem to make time her…NO I always needed to be with her…

When she asked me to her Prom, I should have gone with her…but my fear of my feelings would not let me, so I told her something cold… "It would not look right for a captain to engage in such childish activities"…

She went alone… I watched her all night from the window… she was beautiful, her dress was teal, strapless, it hugged her body, it was short it stopped just above her knees, she even had on high heels which complimented her gorgeous legs..

I stood there hiding my reiatsu watching her ... she would not dance with anyone

I was selfish, I did not want anyone to dance with her, but I would not dance with her myself…

I surprised her and walked her home from her Prom, she never say anything... she was quiet …

she seem to be contemplating something, we had gotten down the street from her home… that is when she stopped and looked at me ..

Her eyes, large dark violet with the moon shining off of them, they were magical as she looked at me ….

She told a deep breath and she pulled me to her and kissed me, it was sweet, it was all I had ever thought it could be, my arms went around her and held her as I closed my eyes and kissed her back…

then stupidity hit me …

I pulled away from her… she looked into my eyes saying "she loved me"… my heart leaped but my mouth said … "we are only friends Kurosaki, nothing more"...

Her eyes, I will always remember the hurt in her eyes as she held back the tears and walk away …

That night I heard her quietly cry, I wanted to go to her, but I did not go …

I left and returned to soul society… I stayed there for two months … I was miserable, without her … Matsumoto tried to talk to me , telling me to go to her apologize, tell her how I felt … I refused

Finally after two months, I came to tell her how I felt… she was gone... Apparently, she had gotten special permission from Sotaicho to leave the area, to study medicine at a university.

I was proud of her, I knew she wanted to be a healer but I missed her and it showed…

He looks over at her; she is on her blackberry…

She still will not look at me, she is ignoring me, I know she senses me, she is the only one who could ever sense me even when I would try and hide from her.

He rubs his hands through his silver hair, shaking his head….He realizes she was still upset, he softly says "this is not going to be easy"….

Then he sees something…. A slight ray of hope…. He walks over to her… as he approaches she turns into him, hard…. He grins


Reader's POV

Karin had lost track of where he had gone in the bar,and Ichi-nii had stood her up, so now she had decided she would leave without speaking to him; she quickly stood up and turned grabbing her jacket from behind her chair and ran into his chest;

In order to keep her from falling on the floor he grabbed her by the waist, pulled her to him. She was now standing there in his arms, speechless, her hands had automatically gone to his chest; her fingers could feel his muscular body.

"Oh my god he was gorgeous" was all she could think as her eyes stayed fixed on his, unable to move, she breathed in his scent, a light musk, it had not changed, and she had missed it. His hair was longer, sexier, she instinctively touched it, as she stoked it, his eyes soften toward her, they stood there looking at each other.

He would not let her go, he had waited too long to hold her again…. She felt good to his touch, she was beautiful, her body… her hair… her lips… her eyes, he really loved her eyes… he just thought to himself "I really do love this woman"

she stood there unable to move; until all of her memories of their last meeting began to rush into her head, his words to her "we are only friends Kurosaki, nothing more"... her eyes got the same look as before… the hurt had returned …. She gathered herself and pulled away from him saying "hello Hitsugaya Sensei" …

His Heart sank… as he realized this is Karin Kurosaki and it was not going to be easy…
