This is my first fanfic. I've been reading some and thought, "Hey! I should try writing my own!" So, please excuse the formats and any grammar errors. Still trying to figure out all of that and quotes and stuff (seriously, I think it's like in an essay format or something XD). Please review! Comments are much appreciated =)
Shiro to Kuro
(lit. white and black)
Ch.1
10th division taicho Hitsugaya Toshiro- but that's Hitsugaya taicho to you- sheathed Hyorinmaru and wiped the sweat from his forehead after a long day of training. Ten years have passed since the Winter War, and though Toshiro still had those same sea-green eyes and blinding white hair, he had finally grown! All those years of marking the wall in his quarters charting his progress! Those afternoon naps had worked! The day he reached 5'8" he thought menacingly to himself, "Hah, that damn Ichigo won't have anything to say to me now." Still, Ichigo had the pleasure of calling him "Shorty" for nearly the past decade.
"I'm gonna go get some amanatto today," Hitsugaya thought, smiling a bit to himself. "I'm all out." Even though he had the reputation of being as cold as his zanpakuto, the thought of amanatto always made him smile. His grandmother, still living in the 1st district of West Rukongai, used to always give him these candies when he was a child, and no matter how hard he had tried to prove how mature he was (even with Ukitake giving him all these other candies every time they met- seriously, does that man just carry candy up his sleeves everywhere he goes?), he couldn't say no to amanatto. Just as he put his foot forward to shunpo to the store, his vision suddenly went a dark, raven-black. For a second he thought he had trained too hard and blacked-out-"But wait! I'm a taicho. It shouldn't wipe me out that quickly!" he thought- then realized his girlfriend was standing in front of him. He tilted his head down and looked at her to see her violet eyes wide and a worried look etched across her face.
*Flashback*
Kurosaki Karin had been a shinigami now for a little over two years. Although she had died in the real world when she was sixteen, she had the same appearance despite the time difference. Having had some reiryoku while she was younger and having it grow steadily until her death, Karin successfully entered the ShinÅreijutsuin where she excelled in all subjects, especially zankenzoki, and graduated in just three years instead of the usual six. She could have done it in two, but her lively attitude and knack for talking back at the teachers didn't exactly make her a favorite student. Still, they couldn't argue when they saw her grades- all they could have done was give her so much more homework.
