Another shorty. Longer stuff coming soon, hopefully.
Whoever said that Kurosaki Karin and Hitsugaya Toushirou had an unusual relationship was kidding themselves.
Their relationship was completely fucking insane.
Karin cursed as another cut opened up on her leg. The ice around her was sharp and her kido couldn't shield her body from all if it. In this instance, a wind-based zanpaktou wasn't what she needed; it was heat and speed. But Kaguya wasn't Tobiume, and Toushirou was a hell of a lot faster than her, even in shikai. The only reason he wasn't attacking her at the moment was because his girlfriend had called up windstorm to gain a few moments of rest, but he'd ruined even that by releasing ice fragments into the tornado.
Though she'd trained with Toushirou for ages, sometimes she forgot how much he had to hold back. Hell, even now he was only in shikai and still kicking her ass. As she deflected a larger chunk of ice with her katana, Karin desperate through of a way to finish this fight. Going into bankai might work, but more likely was the possibility that he'd simply do the same, which undoubtedly meant she'd lose. If she could get into close combat with him she could likely gain an advantage, but Karin was a natural-born melee fighter and Toushirou knew it, so he'd just make her fight long-range before her reiatsu depleted enough to incapacitate her. Karin felt neither resentment nor fear over the possibility; she had known that there would be a chance she'd have to fight Toushirou and if so, they'd have to put their rather personal feelings aside. Besides, if he made her suffer, Ichigo would totally kick his ass.
Suddenly an idea struck her, and an excited smirk curled at her lips. She narrowed her eyes in thought while searching for Toushirou's distinctive reiatsu. Upon finding it she took a breath to focus before two things happened at once:
One, the whirlwind around her stopped immediately. There was no dissipating breeze, but a sudden stilling of ever molecule of air.
Two, Karin abruptly threw ninety-nine percent of her remaining reiatsu into her bankai, forcing the fastest transformation she'd ever experienced.
In less than a second, the air was completely still, and Karin was racing towards her opponent. With her wings she was nearly as fast as Toushirou, and his eyes grew wide at the sudden turn of events. But he was a captain for a reason, and almost immediately he shifted into a familiar stance, his mouth already forming the name of the coming attack.
"Yes!" Karin screamed when she was less than ten meters away, "Yes, I'll marry you!"
Toushirou froze (pun intended) in place. His jaw hung open comically as his shocked mind tried to comprehend what she had just said. After a second he refocused on the situation at hand, but that one second was all Karin needed.
With nearly 400 Newtons of force she slammed her fist into his cheek, bones cracking loudly. His green eyes flared in surprise before they fluttered shut, and Toushirou collapsed. Wincing in guilt at the sight of his already-bruising cheek, she applied a brief healing kido to her broken fingers. After finishing, she flexed the digits and glanced at him wistfully, then disappeared into shunpo.
She had a captain's exam to beat.
Please let this be canon one day. Also, spring break (all two weeks! :D) is coming up, so I have lots of stuff to write and publish. Get excited :3
Please review!
