here's one of my first bleach stories i hope you enjoy it.

Falling to the heavens

How long had it been sense she'd last seen him standing there. Watching the sun fall behind the horizon, hidden until night was defeated once more. She still didn't understand why she always came there only to find emptiness.

'Three months' She thought as she dribbled the ball in front of her.'Or has it been longer'

She lifted her gaze up to the oil painted sky. Her eyes scanned across the reds and oranges, the yellow and pinks that all mixed together in the canvas of the sky. Why did she come here everyday only to be let down time after time. She knew it in her heart she'd never see the boy again , yet she still came. Hoping he would be there,just standing there watching the sun and messing with his phone. She closed her eyes and remembered the day she met him. She'd lost her temper and kicked the ball at the back of the boy's head only for him to kick it back ten times harder right into one of her teammates' face.

The autumn wind blew through the air breaking leaves loose from the trees as they swirled and fell around the raven-haired girl. The colors almost creating an illusion as she walked through them, leaving the memories behind her if only until the next day.

Things hadn't been quite the same in the tenth division since the fights with the espada and arrancar.Captain Hitsugaya continued to do fifth division's paperwork but trained more often as to get stronger fro the next time he fought another arrancar hopefully one of the espada, the elite. The mornings started out as usual he would begin on the paperwork as his assistant captain slept and continued to say that the office was her room when she woke up. He could understand it though, ever since Gin, Aizen, and Tosen's betrayal things had changed drastically in Seireitei.

He could remember it only to clearly, but how could he forget he was a captain he couldn't afford to forget the events of what happened. He sighed as he took another sip of his tea and continued on with his work. He picked up one of the files and opened it. Inside was the description of what had happened in the human world only months in the past. He read it contents and remembered the events as they played through his head.

"Taichou why are you in my room"Matsumoto asked. She was clearly half awake and probably somewhat drunk from saki.

"Your in the office Matsumoto"Toshiro stated.

Matsumoto looked around and replied. "Ehh, sorry taichou"

Before Toshiro could say anything more a black and purple butterfly flew into the room and landed before Hitsugaya. "Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya and Assistant Captain rangiku Matsumoto please report to first division we have a mission for you to complete."

"hai"Both stated as they left the office and headed toward the first division to where captain yamamoto would brief them on their mission. Not knowing if it was urgent or not both used shunpo to run across the buildings to get to the division quicker.Both had a strong feeling this was important something they could not fail on. they hadn't failed yet. Had they?

The guards at the first division gate glanced at the two and allowed them to pass into the walls of first. The building they were headed to only lay mere feet away now as the two walked calmly into its walls. the office was similar to tenths only Yamamoto sat behind the desk.

"You asked for us yamamoto taichou" Toshiro stated. The elder man nodded and gestured for the two to sit down. Both tenth division shinigami sat down in front of the elder and listened intently.

"As you both very well know Aizen has made another move by kidnapping Inoue Orihime but I believe he will make another move and go after another."The elder spoke. Both averted their gaze for a moment as they remembered the girl that had saved them once before. "I believe he will go after Kurasaki Ichigo's younger sibling Karin. While we've surveyed the real world for hollows we've noticed the girl's spiritual pressure gradually gaining strength. She may prove to be a potential target while her brother is gone. I want you two to protect the girl so she may not be used as a weapon against us"

'Karin' Hitsugaya thought as he remembered the girl. he brown eyes and raven colored hair.

Two more days had passed in Karakura town and things still had yet to change. Hollows would still attack and someone would take care of them, by splitting their mask into pieces. The autumn grew colder as more leaves fell like a colored blizzard ,but she continued to go to that one spot. It was her part of her routine now , but she still wondered why she came. She knew what she'd find but she still came.

She climbed up on top of the railing that bordered the walk way and balanced on it as she bounced her soccer ball up and down. Head, foot, knee and so on. She stopped for a moment as that same feeling came once more. She knew what it was and the dangers it held, the hollows that is.It was closer today, but she just stayed in that same spot and watched the sun set once more.

The night air was crisp and fresh it had always relaxed her when she ran back to her home. It was always the same she'd walk through the door and Yuzu would hug her and her dad would say something irritating or just plain stupid. Why he did this she could never figure out although she always got the strangest feeling it was all an act.
After dinner she climbed outside of her bedroom window and watched the stars.

There was that feeling again, but it wasnt the same as usual. No it was defiantly different from the others. It was more menacing and more deadly but what was it. A part of her wanted to find out what it was but the other part of her told her to stay put. She chose to go see what it was.

She ran through the cool night to where the feeling originated from and feet away stood what looked like a shinigami dressed in white instead of black. At a closer look it looked to have half of a hollow mask on the side of it's face. 'What was this thing' she thought.The mysterious figure turned toward where she was and smiled.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist, silly human brat"It laughed.

Karin froze, it knew she was there she had to leave and fast. She had no time to run however because the attacker was in standing in front of her before she could move even her head. The figure grabbed the girl's shirt and pulled her off the ground, smiling as it did so.

'Help, please, help me' She thought instinctively. Why hadn't she have listen to her conscience and stayed home where she was at least safer than she was now. The figure laughed and brought out their zanpacu-to. "I think i'll have some fun before i kill you"

The figure dropped the girl and laughed. "Run little prey run as fast as your little legs will carry you"it spoke. Karin didn't hesitated to follow th orders as she sprung up and bolted off into the night. the figure smiled and whispered "Hunt down you prey Seishou-Ryoushi" the sword disintegrated into a black shadow and dispersed.

"Run little human, run for your very life"the figure stated before following the girl's trail.

he could feel that he was getting closer to where she was was, but he only hoped he would make it in time. He didnt want to fail to protect another person like he did when trying to save hinamori. He could remember it only to clearly.Not only would he blame himself for another failure he'd have to deal with the wrath of kurasaki ichigo if he found out he had failed to save his younger sister.

He didn't know what was worse Ichigo trying to kill him or fighting an espada with no sword. Either way he had to save Karin not only did the mission depend on it , his very life depended on it.

"Please let me be in time" He thought as he continued to run through the night.

She could feel it getting closer, it was as if it hunted the very fear she felt. She was already sweating and not all was from running away from the thing that hunted her. She could hear it getting closer it seemed to be only a mile behind her. She could only delay the inevitable. She turned her head to see how far it was from and lost her footing landing on the ground with a loud thud. She felt pain shoot through her ankle as it twisted the way it shouldnt have. By the time she had manged to try and get up the hunter was already there. Waiting to kill its win.

"Well it was fun while it lasted, but now i must say goodbye"A voice called out.

The shadow began to swirl around her until it took its physical form of a huge black wolf with yellow eyes that pierced right to her soul."Help!"Karin screamed as the wolf lunged forward. She unconsciously closed her eyes only to find she felt no pain. She heard a familiar voice and almost smiled if not fro her being scared she would have.

"Open you eyes, kurasaki"

She opened her brown eyes revealing the white-haired shinigami she had met only three months ago.. "I thought you"She was interrupted by the boy that had saved her."we can talk later just run"

"Eh about that I've busted my ankle" She replied as she glanced at the wolf who now had a blade in its mouth, trying to push it back.

"Why do you have to be such a gluts" He sighed and pushed harder against the blade."When I say now take cover"

"Hair"She replied.

"So now you want to play, well theres no room for you"the voice stated.

Toshiba's body tensed as the wolf pressed harder. "Now kurasaki!!" he yelled. Karin bolted behind a tree and watched in awe as Toshiro activated his Shikai."Sit upon the frozen heavens Hyorinmaru" A crystal like ice dragon appeared from the boy's zanpacu-to and shot toward the wolf only to have the wold disperse into the air and reappear somewhere else. 'Damn' Toshiro thought. He sent another dragon at the wolf only to have the same effect as the last attack.

He had only one choice and that was to destroy its wielder. "Show yourself!"Toshiro yelled into the darkness.There was a low laugh as the voice replied. "You sure are in a hurry to die arnt you, well i'll respect your wishes."

Toshiro looked around but before he had a chance to react he was punched in the stomach and sent flying into a nearby tree."Toshiro!!"karin cried out.The figure turned around and walked toward the girl when toshiro yelled. "NO leave her alone!"

He wouldn't let her die not now, he wouldnt fail again. The figure's sword reformed into its original stated a crimson katana. The figure raised the sword above Karin and brought it down. There was a loud clang as two swords met. Toshiro was holding Karin and blocking the sword with Hyorinmaru. Karin and Hitsugaya heard a crack making the figure smile. Hyorinmaru cracked causing the other sword to slip through its defenses. The blade came down on across Toshiro's shoulder and part of his shoulder blade. The Boy tried not to scream in pain as it dug deep into his skin sending sharp pain throughout his whole body. "Toshiro!"karin yelled.

The figure laughed only to start choking on something that was in the air it cut his skin like ribbons including the inside of his body.

"Growl heineko"a certain saki loving shinigami stated as heineko cut its opponent to ribbons only to have the person to escape into the darkness. Hitsugaya smiled slightly as his grip on Hyorinmaru slipped and he fell to the ground beside Karin.

"Taichou!!"matsumoto cried out as she ran over to the boy's side. Karin was trying to wake the boy up but he'd already lost too much blood.

"We have to get him to a safe place" Matsumoto stated.

"My dad owns a clinic we can go there he can help toshiro"Karin replied as Matsumoto picked the boy up and they ran to wards the clinic

well thats it for now and theres plenty to come sorry for grammar and spelling errors.
