CHAPTER 2

karin was sat at the railing looking out at the dissapearing sun. she was in her new and improved shiragami uniform slash full bring uniform.

her outfit consisted on her hair being let down behind her back. the top part of her outfit had no arms and was one of those that you tied up from the back of your neck. the bottom part was, instead of throusers were black fitted shorts that were an inch above her knee and a skirt that was ripped from two inches down her thigh to two inched below her knee. the skirt was diagonal and looked as if it had been ripped off; it had black thread peices sticking out on the end of the fabric all the way around. she had a bandage like belt that went from an inch below her chest to just above her waist line. her zanpakto was black like her outfit and on a seperate belt slipping off her waist .the hilt of her zanpakto had white diamonds embedded into it. she had a gold beaded braclet on each hand aswell as a silver beaded braclet; the beads were two flat circles and a smaller sphere- this patteren continued for both colours. the braclets didn't look tightly fitted but loosely fitted.

karin let out a sigh and face palmed herself. "urgh my head aches really bad."she groaned, stood up and started to walk away.


yuzu, ishin, ichigo and toshiro ran to the railing. "this is were she normally is"said yuzu catching here breath

"but she's not here"said isshin

"we'll have to got to all the places she's known to be?" said toshiro

"got it"saud yuzu "i'll go to her friends"

"i'll go to urahara's ans help him search her spiritual enerergy" said isshin

"shouldn't it be easy to find i mean even i felt it in the soul sociaty" said toshiro

isshin shook his head "karins' a master hideing her spiritual presure aswell as flash step so if anyone see's her be ready to run"

everyone nodded

"i'll go to the feild, park and dojo's."said ichigo "i'll check her school awell"

"toshiro, go find the places were you used to find karin when you'd visit." said yuzu. toshiro's eyes widened but then went back to normal and nodded in understanding "try finding her in the places you used to be aswell" another nod.

after that little conversation everyone split up


karin appeared outside a small house with plant pots on the side walk and on each side on the door. the door opened to reviele grandma haru.

...

"so thats what happened" said karin. karin had just told grandma haru everything.

"my poor dear. here i'll go get you a drink you'll need it after the day you've had" said grandma haru going out of the room and appearering again to have a glass of water. she gave karin the glass and she drank it instantly

"karin dear i think it would be best if you lied down for a bit" said a worried grandma haru

"no grandma haru. its ok. i'm fine" karin winced as her head was hurting again

"nonsence lay down" she said helping karin lay down on her sofa. karin fell asleep almost instanly.


"karin!" yelled yuzurunning to the football pitch

"karin!" yedded ichigo

"ichigo no sighn of her at her friends" said yuzu

"were else could she be" said a frustrated ichigo

"kurosaki!" yelled toshiro as he ran on the rooftops of houses were she would practice football with her friends."urgh stupid scarf" said toshiro loosening the wrapp of his white scarf

(A/N: this is were seeing the new anime might come in handy)

toshiro's eyes widened "it might be a long shot but i think i know were she might be" he said to himself

"hmm" ishin, kiske and youroichi were stood over a machein that detects spiritual pressure and nothing was coming up so far.


*knock* *knock*

grandma haru opened the door to find an older toshiro standing there."toshiro come in. my you've grown child" said haru

"thank you"said toshiuro stepping inside "grandma haru do you remmember that girl i brought here two years ago...the one that said she'll be comeing back...did she ever come back?"

"why yes, she did. what a wonderful child, she's like my own grandchild" she replied smiling

"well have you seen her recently?" he asked

"hmmm. why do you ask?"

"well she's kind of in danger and i need to take her to the soul sociaty" said toshiro

"follow me" said a now serious grandma haru. this took toshiro by suprise but did so eaither way. he found himself in the living room watching a sleeping karin. he found himself enchantced by just looking at her. he took in every detail of her sleeping form and soul reaper outfit. she rest her head on a cushion, her hair resting on it also with some strands on her face. he had the need to pull them behind her ear. one hand was underneath her face while the other loosly relaxed on the cushion. her legs were slightly bent and the long end of her skirt layed on top of her legs while the smaller end was underneath her. the belt helped show her cuves.

"she came here and told me everything. she needed comefort aswell as the need to make sure i was alright. i found it sweet that she came to see if i was alright." said grandma haru smileing at her sleeping form. toshiro broke his gaze off of karin and landed it on grandma haru

"so you know everything now?"

"yes"

"excuse me, i need to make a phone call." said toshiro and grandma haru just nodded walking out of the room

toshiro got out his phone and dialed 'kouroaski'.

"hello!" yelled ichigo "have you foud her?!"

"yes" toshiro replied calmly

"well where is she?!" he kept yelling

"she's at grandma harus place"

"who's that!" he yelled

"i know who that is! thanks toshiro!" yelled yuzu and the phone line got disconected

grandma haru walked in "all done sweety" she said with a smile

"yes thank you. do you mind karin's relatives come over to take her away" he asked politely

"not a problem" she replied

as if on que the door was being banged. grandma haru opened the door to have yuzu hug her saying 'thank you so much' and ichigo and isshin run into the living room.

they all found karin sleeping peacefully and quietened down

"what is she wearing?" asked ichigo in dissaprooval

"its a mixture of her fullbring and soul reaper abitlities"said isshin

"then why does she have to look like that?!" ichigo yelled frustrated

"because she does ok" yelled yuzu after she wacked ichigo on the head mahing him fall over. everyones eyes went wide except grandma haru, yuzu and karin-who was still sleeping

"yuzu were did you get that from" asked a bewilded ichigo.

"my boyfriend taught me it. he says that be be too nice sometimes and i need to be mean when needed" yuzu replied

"does she do this often?" he asked grandma haru who just nodded "so what was the need to hit me then?"

"people are sleeping and you're making a racket" everyone nodded at yuzu's statement.

"yuzu may speek to you a minute?" asked grandma haru pointing to anouther room. yuzu nodded ad they both left

"what was that?" aske d a curious isshin

"i don't know but what are we going to do about her?" asked toshiro as everyone looked at her

"well since she's sleeping we'll have to carry her" said ichigo

"ok" said toshiro making his way out of the room

"were are you going?" asked ichigo

"out" said toshiro stating the obvious

"you're going to carry her" said isshin

"me?" said toshiro pointing at himself and both ichigo and isshin nodded "why me? why can't any of you's do it?" he asked

"because i've got my hands full" said isshin showing a sports bag on one shoulder and karins zanpacto in the other

"and i've been carrying yuzu around" said ichigo

"why?" asked toshiro

"because she got tired and i had to carry her. man i don't know how kenpachi does it all day" said ichigo massaging his shoulder

"first of all that is a lame excuse for the both of you and second of all yachiru is only 12" said toshiro

"watever you're still picking her up. we'll be outside waiting" said ichigo while stepping outside with his dad

once they were out of ear shot they spoke. "do you think they'll open up their fellings for eachother?"asked ichigo

"who knows. they're both ones to keep secrets and hide their emotions away. we'll just have to wait and see" said isshin

...

'how am i ment to pick her up' thought toshiro. he let out a sigh and slipped one hand under her head and another under her legs, picking her up. she didn't move. she kept the same leaving the hand that was rested on the cushion to be rested on her chest. toshiro could feel heat creeaping up but relaxed. todhiro took a deap breath and went outside to find everyone waiting for him. they opened senkiamon and left, but no one fogot to thank and say goodbye to grandma haru. but one thing caught toshiro's eyes-yuzu was almost in tears
