Her POV

"Dont touch me, I want Toshiro." I yelled and the poor guy who was just trying to help. The man ran out of the room. A few minutes later Toshiro runs in.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" He said looking me up and down to see if I was ok

All I could do was cry and hold my knee in pain. He held me until the crying stopped.

"I need to look at it. Ok"

I nodded. I then carefully let go of my knee and let him see. There was a large gash going down me knee and a little on my leg. He very gently touched the side of where the Slice was. I instinctively yelped and grabbed his shirt he let go of my knee and held me for another few minutes.

He then Left the room and returned with Unohana minutes later. She had a bag, of what i could guess was medical supplies and some kind of drink with her.

"Here drink this it will help with the pain."

I drank the gross drink then the room started to spin and everything was fuzzy . The last thing I could remember was falling back into Toshiro's arms.

His POV

I came running in the door. Someone told me Karin had gotten hurt and was at her apartment in the soul society . When I saw here sitting on the bed crying all I wanted to do was make her pain stop. I quickly walked over to her.

"what's wrong? Did something happen?" I said checking to make sure she was ok. All she could do was cry so I held her trying to make it ok. She was holding her leg in a way that told be she was hurt badly.

When the crying finally slowed down I knew I had to see what was wrong.

"I need to look at it. Ok"

She nodded yes then very slowly and carefully moved her arm away. There was a large cut going down her knee and on to her calf. I tried to softly touch it but she yelped in pain and grabbed my shirt. I just held her for a minute well I tried to figure out what to do.

I knew Unohana would be able to help so carefully let Karin go on the bed. I then flash stepped to the 4th division when I got there i went to Unohana's office and knocked on the door.

"hello Toshiro what can I do for you?"

"Karin got hurt,and she's in a lot of pain. I don't know what to do can you help?"

"of course just let me get something."

She went in her office and came back with a bag and a small glass full of some clear Bubbling liquid.

As we were going back to Karin's apartment she explained that the drink she had would make Karin go to sleep so she wouldn't be in pain well Unohana helped. When we got back to Karin she looked in even more pain than before. As Unohana gave her the drink I quickly sat down behind her incase she fell. She started to get weak. She then fell back into my arms.

Unohana then started to clean the cut on her leg and wrap it.

"How did she get that deep of a cut?"

"I don't know she didn't tell me."

"Alright, and your need to come talk to me when she wakes up."

"What about" i ask

"Karin. She is... Well we'll talk later.

"Ok. Thank you for the help Unohana." I say as I walk her out the door.

When I go back into her room I needed to go home and change and take a shower but I couldn't leave her here alone. So I carefully picked her minding which leg was hurt and carried her back to my apartment. I sat her on my bed and went to go get cleaned off.

When I came back she has still asleep but was starting to wake. When She woke up she seamed to be in pain still.

"How are you feeling?"

"Not good" she replied looking around.

"I'm supposed to take you to the 4th division."

"Ok but can you get me a glass of water really fast."

"Yeah" I go down stairs to kitchen and when I come back she's gone.

Her POV

Where am I?

I sit up and realize I'm in Toshiro's bed. Toshiro is watching me. I look around and notice my knee is bandaged and it hurts more than before.

"How are you feeling?" He ask coming a little closer.

"Not good"

"I'm supposed to take you to the 4th division." That's when I Freak out a little but I cant let him see or he might think something's up.

"Ok but can you get me a glass of water really fast." I say thinking of a way to get out of here before he sees me he walks done stairs to where I know the kitchen is.

Since I've been here before I know where to how to get out. And now that he's gone I need to go. I flash step or at least what I can do with my leg. I make it back to my apartment before I feel Toshiro's spiritual pressure Coming towards me. I feel my Leg start to bleed again. And then I felt dizzy. His spiritual pressure is getting closer and that doesn't help. Then he's here. All I can think is he looks confused before both my knees give out and he catches me.

I feel him caring me to the 4th and with what strength I have left I try to get out of his grasp, but I guess I lost all my energy on the run out of his house cause he doesn't even move as I try to push him away.

When we get to the 4th I try to run again but he just grabs my waist and pulls me into a room which I think is an office or something similar.

"Why do you keep trying to run away"

I stay silent not wanting to tell him why I don't want to come here

"Fine. don't talk to me. I'm just trying to help you." I look down at my shoes not wanting to know what he'll say next. But before he can say any more Unohana walks in.

"Hello Karin, are you still in pain." once she said that I noticed my leg was still bleeding.

"No not much." I say hoping thats all she wanted

"That's good."

"How did you get that cut, Karin." Toshiro ask

"I was fighting a hollow and I didn't see it coming. I killed it and one of the 4ths officers saw my cut and took me back to my apartment." I said wishing that I could leave now.

"Toshiro. Can we speak in my office." Unohana says turning toward him.

"Of course." He say as they both turn to leave.

His POV

As I shut the door behind me Unohana starts to walk to her office. Once were inside she makes sure to shut the door telling me that whatever she is about to say may not be good.

"So what would you to talk about." I ask cautiously hoping it isn't bad

"I'm sure you've noticed that Karin is under weight, correct?"

"Yes, but that's not strange."

"No, its normal for some people but Karin isn't just under weight. I can not be sure till I See Her real weight but she seams to have anorexia."

"Anorexia?" I saw confused as to what she is trying to say

"Yes. And while I was bandaging her cut earlier I saw that she has many scars from harming herself."

"I don't understand." I say trying to stay as calm as I can with this but all I want to do is see if its true myself.

"Karin is depressed, and because of that she is hurting her self. Now I only saw scars but that probably means she started doing it in a different place on her body. And possibly a more deadly place on her body."

"I need to go see her." I say starting to get angry.

"Of course. And by know I'm sure you can tell that she has walked back to your house."

"Yes. Is that all you need cause I must go."

"That is all, but here is something to help her with the pain." She say handing me a small bottle with little white pills inside.

"Now you must see if she I underweight. If she is under 105 pounds please come back so I may talk to her."

"Of course. Thank you for telling me this." I say leaving her office and flash stepping back to the house.

When I go in I see she's in my room siting on the bed.

"Show me them now." I say raising my voice a little

"What?" She ask

"The cuts the ones you did I want to see them. Now." I say calmly but still angry.

"Fine. alright but you need to stay calm."

"Ok." I say calming down more.

She then rolls up her sleeves and I'm so confused. down both of her arms and around her wrist are very deep cuts that look only about a day old. All I can think to ask is...

Her POV

"Why?" and that's the one question that I don't know what to respond to

"because...i...i" I say but start to get choked up and a tear falls. Toshiro reaches over and wipes it away. He pulls me into his lap and just holds me.

"shhhh..its ok...its ok..your safe." He says trying to calm down. And for the first time in a long time I feel ok. Not great but ok.

After a few minutes I start to tell him every thing. How it started with the loss of my mother. And how sometimes I wouldn't eat for a day or two at all. And then he did something I was afraid of. He got a scale. Then he set me down on it and knew it wasn't good by his reaction. I looked down and I weighed 96.4 pound. He sighed like he knew it would be like that.

"Unohana said if you weighed that little you needed to go talk to her but its late. Do you want me to walk you home or do you want to stay here."

"Can I?"

"of course. Come here." He said sitting down on the bed and motioning for me to over. I sat down and he turned off the lights he kissed my forehead. He was about to leave but I really didn't want to be alone. I grabbed his arm.

"Please don't leave me."

"Never." He said smiling at me. I smiled back a little

He came and laid down next to me. He put his arm around my waist and held me. Right before I was about to fall asleep I heard.

"I love you, so much." And I fell asleep without bad dreams for the first time in years.
