I redid this chapter and I wanted to say thanks to bleedingxinxspace and Miichiya Mikan for helping me out and pointing out my errors. It was greatly appreciated. Sorry if it's short… Most of the chapters are going to be pretty small but bare with me. The first chapter doesn't really have much to do with the summery but as the story progresses it'll get to what the summery says… Hope you enjoy… If you don't then I'm sorry I'm such a sucky writer ;P Warning: The characters are a bit OOC…

Toushirou: He looks about 21 now. He is about 5'11. He pretty much looks the same, he just has longer hair, and he looks more mature. Just picture an older Toushirou and you'll get what I'm saying :P

Ichigo: He died when he was nineteen, from a car crash. He is the Captain of the 5th squad. Married to Rukia. He is 25 years old. He has a boy, 4 years old named Hogosha (which means guardian) and a girl that is 1 years old, named Youkou (which means sunshine). Karin and Yuzu visit him every month, along with Isshin and Masaki. A couple of members from the 5th squad have to go to the real world to get Karin and Yuzu when ever the time to visit Soul Society comes.

Isshin: Is the captain of the 3rd squad. He lives with Masaki ( Ichigo found her in Rukongai when he became a captain) in his Captain's house (Captains get like really big and luxurious houses). He looks the exact same. He obviously got his powers back.

Karin: Longer and straight hair (goes down to her butt) with the same ragged cut at the bottom. She is about 5'5, taller than Yuzu. Yah she's curvy. She is a nurse at Karakura hospital. She refuses to wear a lady nurse's uniform; instead she wears the men's uniform.

Yuzu: Longer hair, it's wavy like Masaki's hair. She is about 5'4. She is more 'curvier' than Karin but not more than Orihime. Not as timid as she used to be. She actually yells a lot when someone isn't listening to her, and she is a nurse at Karakura Hospital.

Chapter 1:

Toushirou's POV:

I was walking down the street in the Real World, in Karakura Town, doing a mission. I was supposed to locate and destroy any hollows that happened to show up. I was thinking about Kurosaki Ichigo's little sister, Karin and wondering how she was doing. 'It has been nine years since I last saw her. She was probably twenty by now, and most likely married.' I scowled at my own thoughts because I still like Karin and I'm hoping she's not married, even though I was engaged. I have gotten taller since then. I bet Karin's still short. As I was lost in my own thoughts, I didn't realize where I was walking until I bumped into someone and got knocked to the ground and took the other person with me.

"HEY! WHAT THE HELL! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE FUCKING GOING!" screamed a raven haired girl.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WHATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING' SHORTY!" I screamed at the familiar looking girl. Well she wasn't much of a girl anymore, more like a woman. She had curves now, but not in an Orihime way. Her raven hair was longer, but still cut in that ragged way at the bottom. She was wearing tight-fitting jeans and a soccer jersey. Two bags of groceries were lying on the ground next to her with some of their contents spilling out.

"WHO YOU CALLING SHORTY---WAIT A MINUTE, Toushirou, is that really you!?!?" Karin said.

"Yah, of course it's me!" I replied as I helped Karin pick up her groceries.

"Wow! How are you? I haven't seen you in like nine years! Wow, you've grown taller since I last saw you! So what's been going on with you over these past few years? What are you doing here?" Asked an excited Karin.

"I'm good, and yah of course I've grown taller, people due tend to over the years. Over these past years I have been exorcising hollows, killing a few Espada, killing some Menos Grande, yelling at Matsumoto to do her paperwork which is pretty useless if you ask me, and I've been doing the usual, writing reports. I've been very busy lately due to the amount of hollows that keep showing up around here. That is why I'm here, to kill hollows. What have you been up to?" I asked Karin.

"Well… my sister and I are nurses now and we both work at the hospital since we don't own the clinic anymore cuz we sold it to someone since goat-chin left to Soul Society. We found no reason to keep it cuz then we would need a doctor and it just wouldn't be the same anymore. Yuzu is living with me at my apartment. So she can cook for me and I can buy the stuff she needs. Being a nurse is very time consuming so I don't have much time to play soccer anymore… it sucks but I'll get over it. Hey! I have an idea! Since you're here, and it's my day off, why don't you come over to my apartment and we can catch up. Maybe we can play a game of soccer too. I'll probably kick your ass. You up for it?"

"Sure, let me help you with your groceries then we can go play some soccer but I doubt you'll kick my ass cuz I'm the one whose kicking ass tonight!" I said back to her as I grabbed one of the bags of groceries from her hands, that she picked up.

"Since you're coming over to my apartment, why don't you stay for dinner? I'm sure Yuzu won't mind, we haven't had company over in a long time, plus she always makes extras. We're having Miso Soup tonight. Hope its okay with you?" Karin said.

"Sure is, I just so happen to like Miso Soup." I said even though I don't really like Miso soup but I didn't want to tell Karin that cuz then she might feel bad. (As if. This is Karin we're talking about.)

"Okay! Come on lets go shorty!"Karin said enthusiastically.

"Hey! Who you calling shorty, shorty. If you haven't noticed I'm at least a foot taller than you! So ha! Who's the shorty now?" I replied with a smug smirk on my face.

"Humph! You're still a shorty to me! And I am not a shorty!" Karin was fuming. She looked kind of cute when she was like that. Wait! I can't be thinking those things! I'm basically a married man! I snickered, and Karin gave me a glare. Karin started to walk and I followed her. We didn't even talk on the way to her apartment.

"Yuzu, I'm HOOOOOME! I brought someone with me! Hope its all right with you."Karin yelled.

"It's fine with me. I'm in the kitchen, come bring the groceries!" Yuzu yelled back.

I followed Karin into the kitchen and placed the groceries on the counter. Yuzu's back was to us. When Yuzu turned around to get the groceries, she looked at me with shocked eyes and dropped the ladle she was holding.

"OH MY GOD! IS THAT YOU TOUSHIROU-KUN?!?!?" Yuzu screamed.

"Err…Yah it is." I replied scratching the back of my head. Yuzu then ran up to me and gave me a big bear hug.

"I missed you so much Toushirou-kun! How are you? Come and stay with us for dinner! I made extra!" Yuzu said very enthusiastically. I could feel the blush rushing to my face. Karin snickered at me and I sent her a glare and it stopped her snickering at once. Yuzu wasn't the little bashful girl I remembered her to be. She had more curves than Karin and longer hair. She was louder now, and not as shy as she used to be.

"Oi, Yuzu, is it okay for Toushirou to stay for dinner?" Karin asked.

"Sure! We're having Miso Soup. I hope you're okay with that." Yuzu said a bit sheepishly.

"I like Miso soup so I'll stay, plus me and Karin have a soccer game to play." I looked at Karin and smirked. She smiled at me and my stomach felt kind of bubbly. She looked really good when she smiled. 'Uggh… I really have to stop thinking about Karin that way, she is just a friend,' I thought.

"So Toushirou-kun… why are you here?" Yuzu asked shyly.

"I'm on a mission from Soul Society. I have to defeat hollows that have been showing up." I replied in a bored manner.

"Oh…Well how's that going so far? Having any luck killing hollows?" Yuzu asked.

"Well it's not going so well. Every time I locate the hollow and get to it, it just kind of disappears. Then I can't find it anywhere. It's very strange but I'm sure Squad 12 will figure out what's going on. I've only been able to kill one hollow so far out of all the hollows that have showed up." I said rather disgusted at my self. 'How could I be a captain if I could only manage to kill one hollow out of like thirty of them?' I harshly thought to myself. All of a sudden Karin burst out laughing which made me very aggravated.

"OI! WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?!" I yelled at Karin, which seemed to make her laugh even more.

"Ahahaha! Toushirou, you can't even kill low leveled hollow! Ahahaha! That's a shame! Ahahaha! Even I could kill them with one kick from my soccer ball and I'm not even a shinigami! Ahahaha! " Karin replied in between her laugh attacks. I started to turn red out of embarrassment. That made Karin laugh even harder. Tears were coming out of the corner of her eyes.

"Karin! Stop laughing at Toushirou-kun! It's not very nice! Now you apologize right now missy!" Yuzu said to Karin. Karin's laughing was reduced down to giggles, then they just stopped and she said in a sarcastic voice, "I'm sorry Toushirou-KUN for laughing at you." She emphasized the 'kun' part. I scowled at her. She just snickered.

"Okay the Miso Soup is done! Dig in!" Yuzu said.

"Mmm. Yuzu this is great once again! How'd you learn to cook so good? This is probably the best Miso Soup I've ever had!" Karin exaggerated. But I did have to agree with her. Even though I really don't like Miso Soup it was still amazing. I'm starting to rethink about not really liking Miso Soup. I even asked for thirds.

"Toushirou, you done yet? I want to go play some soccer!" Karin said impatiently.

"Yah I'm done Baka, lets go." I said rudely due to the fact that Karin was rushing me and I don't like to be rushed. Karin grabbed a soccer and went out the door saying a hurriedly 'good bye'. I thanked Yuzu and ran after Karin.

"I'm so going to kick your ass Toushirou!" Karin said as she pumped her fist in the air.

"In your dreams, shorty, I'm going to leave you in the dust!" I said in a cocky voice. A vain popped out on Karin's forehead and her face turned red, but she refrained from saying something. I chuckled at that.
