Inexplicably in Love

Chapter 1

"Karin, we're going to be late!"My best friend Toshiro yells from downstairs.

"Coming!"I yelled back as I finished putting my shoes on. I ran downstairs to see a white hared boy with teal eyes sitting on the couch using his phone.

"Toshiro!"I said as walked toward him. Toshiro looks up from his phone.

"Let's go," Toshiro says as he got up, and started walking toward the door. I followed him. We quietly left my house.

"Toshiro, did you grow taller?"I asked him. I noticed he was almost as tall as Ichi-nee.

"Who knows," Toshiro says tonelessly. I felt myself snap. I ran in front of him. He stopped walking to stare at me.

"Answer like a normal person!"I yelled as I grabbed his tie hard. He was leaning toward me now, with his face close to mine. His face was turning pale.

"I-I-I c-can't b-breath," Toshiro chokes out. I calmed down, and quickly let go off his tie.

"Why is it hard for you to speak normally? Wait, don't answer that," I said as I saw him fixing his tie. I noticed a few of his shirt buttons came loose. I blushed. I noticed him staring at me. I felt my face blush harder. Is it even possible? Can he tell?

"Wh…Is something on my face?"I asked arrogantly. Toshiro moved his hand toward my face. I felt my heart beat faster. Why? What is he going to do? Wait me Karin Kurosaki "blushing" what is wrong with me?

"You had a leaf stuck in your hair," Toshiro says as he grabbed the leaf. My heartbeat was growing faster and faster. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! I started walking. I glanced at him, our eyes meet. I quickly looked away. Why do I feel nervous?

"Karin, we better start running, or we'll be late for school," Toshiro says as he grabs my hand. We start running. My heart skipped a beat. Can someone just tell me why?

I noticed I could barely feel his heartbeat through our hands, our heartbeats were synchronized. I blushed furiously. Could he feel my heartbeat?

"Karin," I heard Toshiro mumble.

"What?"I asked as I looked at…well his back.

"Forget it," He answers.

"Toshiro, what is it?" I ask. He didn't respond. "Fine, don't answer," I mumble. We reached the school a few minutes after that short conversation, and I mean short.

He let go of my hand as he walked to his shoe locker. I did the same except you know go to my own shoe locker. I switched my shoes. I looked at my hand (the one Toshiro was holding previously).I missed his warm hand. I shake my head trying to wipe that thought out. What am I thinking? Am I sick? I felt my forehead. Nothing…hmmmm….

"Are you feeling okay?"Toshiro asks out of nowhere. I turned to face him. He wore a concerned look on his face. He moved his hand toward my face.

"W-W-What a-are y-you d-doing?"I asked. Man did I have to stutter. I felt my face heat up. What is he…?

"You're not sick," Toshiro says as he connected our foreheads together (In Japan that is another way for us to tell is someone is sick).I felt my face go madly red.

"O-OF COURSE NOT, BAKA!"I yelled as I walked past him. That came out of the blue…I'm sure Toshiro would have rather had used a thermometer, than collided our foreheads together. WHAT WAS HE THINKING!

"Karin, did I do something happen to upset you?"Toshiro asked me. MAN IS HE DENSE! Wait! What did I just think about?

"N-No," I muttered. I knew he could hear me, I don't know how he does it, but he can hear your voice clearly no matter how low it may be. Sometimes I find this highly annoying. He kept looking at me for a few minutes, and after a while I decided to start walking to class to try to run away from his gaze. Of course he followed me. After a while we reached our classroom, as suspected the teacher was mad. Why did it have to be…?

"KUROSAKI! HITSUGAYA! You're late again!" our teacher Ms. Fon yelled at us. She has black short hair, and she is wearing all black. I always wondered how old she really was, because she looks about my brother's age.

My brother happens to be in college. His name is Ichigo Kurosaki; he has orange hair, brown eyes, and is considered to be a delinquent. He gets fairly good grades. He is single (surprisingly even though he has a lot of girl friends).He did have a girlfriend, (just a few weeks ago) but they broke up. They have an off, and on relationship.

"Sorry, It was my fault," I said taking the blame. Well it was my fault, since I did oversleep. I didn't honestly care if we got in trouble, or if we get after school detention. What I really cared about was not getting myself killed by . She is one of those strict teachers. Again I still don't get why or how she became a teacher, with how she treats us.

"Just sit down," said with an annoyed tone. I quickly did as I was told. From the corner of my eye I saw that Toshiro followed behind me. We didn't sit by each other, but we did sit in the same row. His seat was 5 chairs in front of me. I grabbed my notebook, and pencil bag from bag, and laid them down on my desk.

"Kurosaki, what is the answer if you multiply 34 by 68?" asks.

"The answer is 2312," I said as I moved my gaze to look outside. The sky was filled with clouds. It's going to rain soon….It felt like I had an everyday pattern. I would wake up, walk to school with Toshiro, ends up asking some question in class, gets mad at me, I walk home with Yuzu(my sister) and Toshiro, eat at home….same thing almost every day. When will my life become more interesting?

"KUROSAKI! Are you even paying attention?" yelled. I looked at her, and sighted.

"Yes," I calmly said. She glares at me.

"Really then what did I say?" asks as if she was about to win an argument.

"You asked what you get if you multiplied 50 by 30. The answer to that is 1500."I said with a smirk.

"Correct," Ms. Fon just kept glaring at me. I ignored the glares she gave me. I started doodling on my notebook. has been trying to get me in trouble. Mainly, because my brothers spends a lot of time with her cat. Though I can't call that weird, since here in Kurakura everything is weird. Though I do think it is weird that she is jealous about my brother hanging out with her cat. A note suddenly landed on my desk. I opened the note, and it said:

Karin,

Don't you find school boring? Don't you find your life uninteresting? If you agree to work with me, your life would become so interesting. You would love your life more than you have ever known. So will you agree, Karin?

A

I stared at the note. My life would become more interesting, how? Should I agree? Another note landed on my desk.

Karin,

I'll give you time to think about it,

A

I reread the first note. Who is A? How would my life, become more interesting? The bell rang, and my next teacher appeared. The rest of the day I kept thinking about what the note said.

"Karin?"I heard Toshiro say from beside me.
