Hi everyone, I got bored so I thought I'de write a Hitsu/Karin. PLEASE read it umm It's a multi chapter one and I'll update reguarly.

SUMMARY- Karin got her shinigami powers at the age of 12 and has been fully trained. She is now 17 and attending karakura high when she runs into a certain white haired captain who's been sent down on a mission.They both look different and they notice it about eachother straight away.Read to find out what happens.

DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT OWN BLEACH...which is a shame coz if i did I'de be pretty rich D

Darkness, all she could see was darkness.Then it appeared as though their were a light in the far distance.

She had to squint to even see the speck of light that was being emitted, and she unconsciously found herself walking towards it. Slowly step by step the light was getting bigger and now she could make out a shadow standing in the middle of the light, wearily walking closer to see if she could identify the shadow.

It was a woman, she had long dark brown hair that cascaded down her back to stop just above her hips, electric blue eyes that looked as though they could see into her soul, those along with the height (which she was quiet tall) and the motherly smile that she portrayed made this woman look beautiful.

Karin found herself in awe at the womans beauty, she simply could not beleive her eyes. This woman looks like an angel.

"Hello Karin"

Karin found herself being shocked out of her stupor by someone calling her name, she looked up to see the angel like woman coming closer.

"Hello Karin I'm Akiko its a pleasure to finally meet you and be heard by you"

Stunned Karin replied "H-How do you know my name"

"Karin I've always known your name and you've always known mine,its just that you weren't ready to hear me before, but now you are" a smile graced Akiko's lips

"What do you mean ready to hear you...w-what are you" She asked still trying to grasp the situation.

"Karin, I know this is all so confusing to you but I think I can explain it" Akiko sat down on the floor and motioned for Karin to do the same thing.

Karin mindlessly sat down before Akiko so that they were face to face.

"Aright firstly I'de like to explain to you what YOU are" Karin nodded in response.

"Your a shinigami, just like Ichigo, a shinigami is in other words a soul reaper that protects and ensures the safe arrival of new souls to soul society, which is where the souls go for an after life and MOST shinigami live their in seireite which is a different part to where the souls live." she paused to see if Karin was following, which she was.

"To become a shinigami you have to have high reitsu, which you and your brother have INCREDIBLY high amounts of and are able to be both shinigami and human"

Karin was absorbing all this new information eagerly. If this is what she thought it was then she would finally be able to protect the people she loves.

"So that's what YOU are, now as to what I am might be a bit more difficult to understand" Akiko looked Karin straight in the eyes.

Karin gave a curtive nod and Akiko continued.

"I'm the spirit or essence of your zanpaktou, a zanpaktou is what shinigami wield to fight hollows and also to send souls to the after life. I'm an extension of your soul.Well the part of you that is shinigami anyway.I live in your soul, in my own little world that is a reflection of your personality,moods and overall being. I am who you need to call/summon when releasing your zanpaktou".

Karin was thinking carefully and then finally spoke.

"So I'm a shinigami/human who help protect souls against hollows AND I have a zanpaktou, which is you?."

Akiko nodded, she was quiet surprised that Karin was responding so well to all this new information.

"So is there anything else that I need to know, also umm do I need to train or anything."

Akiko smiled, Karin sure knew what to ask.

"Hai, you do need to train and for that I suggest you make a little visit to Urahara-San. Ano For me to speak to you I had to pull your soul out of your body, DON'T freak out. When I disappear you'll be standing in front of your body all you have to do is step in and you'll be good as new."

Karin looked mildly shocked at the fact that she was separated from her body, but never the less she found it intriguing.

"Karin" Karin looked up to Akiko.

"Hai" Akiko smiled

"I'll be leaving now, if you have any questions don't worry I'll always be here to answer them" with a nod from Karin, Akiko stood and started walking toward the light from which she came.Slowly the darkness faded and Karin found herself in her room, staring down at her own body.

She looked down examining herself when she felt something cold on her left hip, she fiddle around with her robes (which were black with a white outline and long,down to her ankles and wrists) when she finally clasped her zanpaktou. She unsheathed it and held it out infront of her looking at it with amazement "WOW" was all she seemed to mutter.

That was the first time Karin had ever seen/met her zanpaktou.

She took Akiko's advice and went and saw Urahara and started training with him and Yoruichi.

(She was 12 then, and she was ten when she last saw hitsugaya.I'm skipping to when shes 17.So 5 years since she got her powers and 7 since she last saw Hitsugaya. She has been training with Urahara and Yoruichi for the past 5 years and as for how far shes come you'll just have to wait).

A/N. Please read and review MUCHLY appreciated ;)
