Something New

It was the last day at school and a girl with long black hair and midnight color eyes was staring out the window like always. She was wondering why she came to school today because everyone was talking about what they will be doing over the summer. And like always she will be helping out her father at the clinic if need be. The bell finally rang for lunch. 'Finally lunch. Maybe I can leave.' She thought.

"Karin-chan." Someone called her name.

"What is it Yuzu?" she asked her twin sister.

"Nothing really, are you ready to eat lunch or are you leaving?" just when her sister asked that question she felt a familiar reiatsu.

"I am leaving. I will see you at home Yuzu." With that she left the classroom then ran full speed out of the high school. Before she knew it she was headed to where she can feel his spirit pressure.

Elsewhere four people walked out of the Senkaimon Gate. One was a tall taichou of the tenth division, with white hair that always defined gravity. The next was a tall and vary busty fuku-taichou of the tenth division, with long strawberry blonde hair. Third and fourth members that are from the eleventh division third seat and fifth seat, one bald and nasty attitude and one that thinks everything should be beautiful and that he is beautiful with his two feathers.

"Fan out and go to your positions and check in every hour with reports on what is happening." Ordered the young taichou.

"Hai!" they all said in unison and disappeared.

The young taichou went to the railings where he always hung out the last time he went there. It was seven years ago. The place he would always look at the sunset or just look at the sky. Suddenly he felt a familiar reiatsu coming closer to him. At first he couldn't put a name to it, then he remembered, 'Kurosaki'.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karin was still running. She hasn't seen him in seven years. She wonders if he still remembers her. She hopes that he does but she doesn't know why. She began to slow down her pace when she finally saw his figure up ahead. 'What should I say to him? Jeez I ran all this way and I can't think of anything to say to him.' She walked up to him slowly, and as always he was on his soul pager. Probably searching for hollows like he always does.

When she finally got behind him, he said, "What are you here for Kurosaki? If it's to play soccer with you again then forget it. If it's about why I am here it doesn't concern you either." In his icy voice.

"Well then I will just leave then. But you should know that I know what goes on in this town because I can see spirits too. I can also kick any hollows butt that comes my way. Oh, and since it is summer I will be kicking a lot more hollow butt because I won't be in school. I will also be hanging around the soccer field if you ever want to come by and just play a little one on one." And with that she turned around to start walking away.

She was half expecting him to tell her to wait but he didn't. When she turned around he was gone. So she walked back to her house and tried to forget about him. He didn't even bother to look up at her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why was he acting so strange? It's not like she was doing anything but saying hi to him. Yet he has the nerve to not look up at her and just plain ignore her. What was his problem anyways, and what was he doing here. She didn't understand most of the questions in her head. She walked into a little shopping store to cool down since it was so hot outside. She wasn't ready to go home just yet.

When she was heading to the back of the store she saw a familiar strawberry blonde fuku-taicho. She went up to her and she remembered her name.

"Hey Rangiku, whatcha doing?" Karin asked

"Oh hi Karin-chan. Nothing much just shopping and avoiding my duties like always. I should be at my post but I think Ikkaku and Yumichika can handle that." Replied Matsumoto.

"Yep that sounds just like you. So do you know whats up with Toshiro? He just totally ignored me when I tried talking to him."

"He's just sulking like always. So why are you here? And you look all grown up."

Karin put on a goofy grin. "Well I am out of school because it is summer vacation. Oh and one more thing I am a shinigami."

"REALLY!?!" Matsumoto screamed out. "Did you tell taichou?"

"No, but I wanted to. He was so annoying he just told me to leave him alone and not to bother him. He said to just leave him alone and that it doesn't matter to why he is here. GRRRRR! I HATE HIM!"

"Well then make sure you beat him up the next time you see him. He deserves it. Oh and call me when you do cause I wanna watch." Said the strawberry blonde fuku-taichou.

"Don't worry I will beat him up." Karin said with a smirk.

Suddenly Matsumoto's soul pager went off. "Ten hollows are at the soccer field." She looked up and said, "Are you ready to kick some hollow butt Karin?"

"You bet I am." Then they both popped gikongan in their mouths and headed towards the soccer field.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the same time Toshiro's soul pager went off. When he looked at it he saw that the hollows were at the soccer field where Karin normally plays at. He was hoping that Karin was alright because he thought that ten hollows would be too much for her to take care of by herself.

'I can't believe you haven't noticed it yet.' Said his zanpakto.

'Noticed what?' Hitsugaya asked

'You'll find out when we get there.'

With that Toshiro hurried to get to the soccer field faster. He wanted to know what his zanpakto was talking about. Once he got there he saw Matsumoto fighting with someone else. Someone that didn't come with them from Soul Society. It took him awhile to realize who it was because he had to concentrate on the reiatsu of that person.

'Karin is a shinigami.' He thought. All he could do was stare in shock because he didn't believe it.

'Well believe it.' Replied Hyorimaru.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once Karin and Matsumoto were done with the hollows they saw Toshiro standing at the end of the field. So they walk over to Toshiro like nothing was new. Karin was grinning like crazy and so was Matsumoto.

Finally Karin broke the silence. "Hey Toshiro. Whats going on?"

He didn't say anything. Matsumoto started laughing like crazy all of a sudden and Ikkaku and Yumichika showed up.

"Hey Rangiku, whats going on and who is this beautiful lady?" asked Yumichika.

"Oh, hi Yumi and Ikkaku. This is Karin Kurosaki, Ichigo's sister and a shinigami representative." Replied Matsumoto.

"So how long have you been a shinigami, Karin?" asked Ikkaku.

"Just about a year and a half. I wanted to defeat the stronger hollows since Ichi-nii is hardly ever around anymore since he went off to college. And I think Rukia-nee went with him or went back to Soul Society." Replied Karin.

"So how strong are you?"

A/N. Sorry for the cliff hanger I wanted to know what ppl think about it so far. I am new to writing fanfics but I will get better I have some written down in my notebook. I have read over them and I had spelling mistakes so if you catch any in this one please let me know. Thank you for reading and please review. Oh and I would like suggestions on what Karin's zanpakto should be. In my book I have the name Sakura Yuki because it means cherry snow and I wanted it to be kind of like Kuchiki-taichou's zanpakto. Please tell me if you like it or not. I will change it if I have a better suggestion. Thanks again.
