Yeay! This is the start of my brand new fanfiction!

lol, this is acually slightly based off of Romeo and Juliet. Guess what? My town, Sedalia, was hit by a Tornado last Wednesday! And, because it hit the bus barn, I have no more school for the summer! I didn't have to take 3/4 of my finals!

but my friend Zech still has my When They Cry DVD's! NOOOOOOO! I recomend everyone that likes violence to watch When They Cry ^^

Anyway, I apologize for my useless ramblings, but now I shall proceed with the disclaimer!

BLEACH sadly does NOT belong to me, but to the amazing Tite Kubo! Please reveiw! I'll be sad if no one does. And this fanfiction is WAY out there. Things end...well...unusually, to say the least :D


The tragedy of Hitsugaya and Karin~~~

Their fates…

And their demise.


She is setting on the window seal, staring at the midnight black sky and breathing in the cold October air. Her mind is drifting, not particularly thinking about anything. Her navy blues eyes are drawn out of focus. A star falls out of the vast sky, but she doesn't notice it. Music is blaring in her ears on full blast from the iPod in her hoodie pocket, but she can't hear the words. She is blocking everything out in a dazed, unconscious manner.

As the sun began to rise, she heard a soft pounding at her door that awakened her from her mindless state and she quickly turned off her iPod.

"Karin, are you awake yet?" Asked a voice that she had heard all her life.

"Yeah, I'll be downstairs for breakfast in a second Yuzu."Karin replied.

"You should hurry or you'll be late for school" Yuzu informed, before Karin could hear her footsteps trudging down the stairs.

Karin stood up, closed her window, and then turned around to look over at her room.

At one time, the room had been separated into two halves. One was decorated with posters of pop stars, had a small single bed with pink sheets and white lace, a small rectangular pink dresser, and a neatly organized white desk with a pink chair. The other half was decorated with posters of professional soccer players, a single bed with dark blue sheets with a soccer design, a tall, old wooden dresser, and a somewhat unorganized dark mahogany desk with a tall black chair. The two halves had been completely opposite of each other. The pink side of the room belonged to her twin sister Yuzu, while the other side belonged to Karin.

Now that Ichigo, Karin's older brother, had gone off to college, Yuzu had moved into his old bedroom. Karin's bedroom was much different now. The wallpaper and carpet was a fierce blood red. The walls were still decorated with a few soccer posters, but there were also posters of famous kendo masters. Her bed was now a neat four poster double bed with deep blue sheets, and the wood was a dark mahogany. The dresser was the same, towering up to the ceiling; although it looked much more ominous now. Her desk was larger; it was a dark chocolate color with dark red patterns, and was organized much neater than it had been.

Karin walked over to her dresser and pulled out a clean uniform from the hangers and left for the bathroom. She took a quick shower, changed clothes, and tied her silky black hair up in a pony tail before going downstairs for breakfast.

Her father had left early this morning for a meeting in Nagoya, and her brother Ichigo was at collage in Tokyo, so it was only Yuzu and Karin. They sat at the empty table and ate their breakfast quickly. They didn't have time to talk, so they finished their meals and left the house for Karakura High School. They chatted on their way, but it was just small talk.

When they got to school, they parted ways and Karin headed up to the fifth floor. She entered a classroom and sat at the seat in the back corner next to the window. She dropped her school bag onto the floor besides her, set her right elbow on her desk, rested her head in her right hand, and starred out the window. The clouds darkened as heavy rain began to fall.

Karin was in tenth grade and was fifteen years old. She played soccer, practiced kendo and martial arts, had friends, got good grades, and was an average high school student. Or so everyone thought. Karin had a secret. For as long as she could remember; she could see the spirits of the dead. And when she was in elementary school, she began to see hollows and soul reapers as well.

Hollows are spiritual monsters that devour both the souls of the living and the dead. Soul reapers are humans that obtain spiritual powers, and use them to destroy hollows and send spirits to the next world. Ichigo Kurosaki, as Karin had found out in elementary school, was in fact a soul reaper. No one, not even Ichigo, was aware that she had the ability to see them in their spirit forms. Karin had told absolutely no one.

Rain pounded harder against the window as students filed into the classroom. No one approached Karin and she fell into a semiconscious state, staring intently at the thundering rain. A bell rang throughout the entire school and students slowly sat down at their seats. Their teacher, Ms. Omedai, came striding into the room moments later with a stack of papers in her hands; which she quickly set down on her desk and stood up in front of the class.

"We have a new student today, "she announced "he just moved here from Tokyo"

The class broke out into soft whispers. Karin didn't appear to have heard her.

"Please welcome our new student...please, please come in and introduce yourself "said Ms. Omedai.

He walked into the class room, and after a moment of speechlessness, the girls started whispering franticly while the guys all looked slightly nervous. Karin didn't even look up.

The guy was tall, a few inches taller than Karin, had spiky white hair and breathtaking cyan blue eyes.

"My name is Hitsugaya Toshiro, and I will be attending school here for the rest of the school year "he announced.

"Now, please have a seat in the back next to Karin-Karin, please raise your hand so Hitsugaya knows where you are "Ms Omedai directed.

Karin took her right hand off her face, kept her elbow glued to the desk, and held her hand slightly in the air. She didn't look away from the window. Ms Omedai looked almost taken aback that she had even responded at all. Hitsugaya slowly walked to the back of the classroom and sat on the right side of Karin. She had placed her right hand back on her cheek.

Class went by slowly and Karin never took her eyes off the window. Lightning flashed, causing most of the girls to yelp. Karin had stayed silent. When the bell rang to go to lunch, as the rain had obviously prevented students to eat outside or on the roof, they all ate inside in any classroom they wanted.

Hitsugaya had been observing Karin since his arrival, and was inwardly surprised when she stood up and walked out the room. Her eyes still looked out of focus and she was completely oblivious to the stares from her classmates.

Her feet had picked her up and carried her out of the room on their own. But that's what always happened when it rained, and her feet always lead her to the same place. She looked like she were sleep walking, her eyes dark, expressionless, but she was very much awake. She had left the school, immediately being drenched to the bone with rain. She walked steadily to an abandoned wear house close to the high school.

Back at the school, Hitsugaya watched out the window as Karin walked away from school in her dazed manner.' What's she doing out there in the rain? 'He asked himself worriedly as another flash of lightning struck a nearby building and lit up the surrounding area for a brief moment. Than it all went dark again with the ominously black clouds blocking all sunlight.

He heard the classroom door open, and looked over to see who it was. He saw a girl his age with caramel-blonde hair that went slightly past her shoulders slowly walk into the room. Her eyes immediately looked toward Karin's seat, than over the rest of the class. She sighed, and walked over to Karin's seat, where she picked up Karin's school bag and turned to walk away.

"Hey, who are you, and what do you think you're doing with someone else's property?"He asked, scowling at the girl.

She turned around to face him and said, "I'm Yuzu, Karin's younger twin sister. I'm picking up her bag because it might get stolen while she's gone, and if it doesn't she'll definitely forget it here."

"Karin has a twin? But you look nothing like her. "He asked.

"Yeah, we're really nothing alike, "she laughed "I look like our mom while she looks like our dad"

"Hey, do you know where Karin went? And why is she acting so strange?" He asked.

"No one knows exactly where she goes, but she'll be back when lunch ends .After school she'll skip soccer practice and disappear again, and won't be back until early morning. She only acts this way when it rains, but tomorrow she'll be back to normal." Yuzu explained.

"Karin plays soccer?"Hitsugaya asked.

"Yup. She's actually the captain." she replied. Yuzu turned around and started to walk out of the room, saying," But I'm going to head back to my classroom now. It was very nice to meet you, Hitsugaya"

"Ah, it was good to meet you too, I guess" he replied. He watched her exit the room.

Then, he realized something. 'How the hell did she know my name?' he asked himself. 'There's something odd about this place, and it's my job to find out who's behind it' he thought. The bell to start class again rung. A few seconds afterwards, the door opened and Karin walked into the classroom. She was completely soaked, but had entered and sat down at her seat in the same manner she had left. The teacher came in to start teaching class and completely ignored the large puddle forming under Karin.

Karin continued to stare lifelessly out the window while class presumed normally. Hitsugaya presumed to observe her, but she never moved. When the bell rung for school to end, Karin ran out of the room as fast as she could, which left Hitsugaya feeling confused by her sudden movement.

She was instantly drenched once again as she ran out of the building, this time being directed up alley ways and down familiar streets until reaching the cemetery. She was getting closer. The cemetery was dark, and as you can imagine, incredibly eerie. Shadows loomed from every corner, and mourning ghosts of the dead hung over their tombstones, chained to the earth by grief or regret.

Karin paid no attention to the lost souls. She was not a soul reaper, no matter how much she wanted to be, so she had no means to help them. Now, if Ichigo were there, still living in Karakura town, than that would be a different story.

She ran up the ancient cobblestones, panting slightly at the steep angle of the hill. She was almost there. As soon as she reached the top of the hill, more lightning flashed and thunder roared, lighting up the single gravestone for a brief second, until consuming it again in darkness. Karin ran to the tombstone, and her legs collapsed underneath her, causing her to fall to her knees. She had finally made it.

She stayed there for hours, crying in front of her mother's grave. The stormy night was much like it had been the night her mother had died. Or, to be exact, killed by a hollow. And for Karin, there was only herself to blame.

She fell asleep there, like she always did. It was the only time she ever could sleep. Here she couldn't dream of a happy life with her family, that Misaki's death had prevented, and she also couldn't have nightmares of the tragic event.

She was just surrounded by nothing, a peaceful, empty, black, nothingness.
