Here goes chapter 2! Oh I don't really know how it comes.. -.-'

"Hyourinmaru's thoughts"
'Toushirous thoughts'


Karin's POV

"Bastard, go to hell," I growled. "You're not going to touch her."

The hollow let out an earpiercing laugh and was right about to charge when I saw him. He was here!

"HEY! TOUSHIROU!" I yelled on the top of my lungs. No reactions.

"You think that he will save you?" The hollow said. "Too bad he won't make it."

The hollow charged and I felt my anger rise as I shouted, forgetting the contact I've tried to make with Toushirou.

"JUST STAW AWAY DAMN IT!"

I pushed Yuzu out of the way, making her fainting by it, and the hollow nudged my by my shoulder and I let out a shriek in pain.

"You're lucky girl.."

"Souten ni Zase.." A harsh voice called out and I looked up in the sky as I felt a cold feeling embrace me.

"Hyourinmaru!" A huge dragon made of ice appeared and crashed down by the hollow and made him move to a roof top.

"Toushirou!" I yelled through the dust of ice. Then I remembered – Yuzu! I turned around but I saw nothing.

"Looking for something?" I turned around again and there, beside Toushirou in the arms of Rangiku-san, she lies, like an angel.

"I guess I heard wrong..it wasn't at you who she shouted."

'Naah..I guess it wasn't.'

"Damn it!What took you so long?!" I yelled at him again.

"I have no idea." He answered coldly.

"Damn it Toushirou!" I whacked him in the head as I bowed down my head.

"What's your problem?!" He yelled back.

"I don't know, damn it!"

"So this is the thanks I get for saving your life?!"

"I was fine by my own thanks!"

"Ne, taichou..Karin-chan.." Matsumoto's voice broke through.

"Oh shut up damn it!" We both yelled back at her and then turned back glaring at each other.

"What's your problem Kurosaki?!" He asked again.

"Like I said before – I don't know! And don't 'Kurosaki' me! I'm not my brother!"

"You damn act like him!"

"I do not!" I shot a cold glare at him, which he retrieved gladly.

"Prove it then."

"I shall." I replied and stepped forward.

"And how?"

I gave him a smug grin as I leaned in.

"You want to know why I was so absentminded?" I took a glance at him and his gaze was straight and he didn't tremble as he answered, even though I was centimetres from him.

"Why not?"

"It was.." I felt him stiffen as I continued. "..because of you had occupied my mind.."

I leaned in the last bit that seperated us and took him in with full force. I heard him gasp and I just smirked.
Just as I was about to withdraw, I felt his arm sneak around my waist.
We stood there until the lack of oxygen hit us and we parted.

"Do you want to know what took me so long?" I heard him whisper and I nodded.

"You.." He said and leaned in again and captured my lips again.

By some unseen force we both said:

"I think I know..what I should call that feeling.."

We looked into each others eyes as we both thought the same though.


"Love.."


Omake – The Hollow and Yuzu

"Hey! Don't forget me! I'm still here!" The hollow said and jumped down and landed beside Matsumoto and Yuzu, who was wide awake now.

"Oh please shut up, would you?" Yuzu said and punched the hollow. "They need their privace!"

"Why am I the only one who's all alone?!" The hollow whined.

"Because you're ugly."


There, I'm done! You got the chapter 2!

And also, I have the third chapter of "To leave a friend and to start upon" ready soon too. Be waiting!

Love
