A.N sorry somehow my paragraphs were gone. That was not my fault. Here is it with paragraphs. Sorry again

It was a quiet night in the soul society, the moon was clearly seen in the dark sky. It casted a shadow on everything it touched. There was not a cloud in sight. A soft breeze, was all there was. It whistled past the building making a soft, gentle noise.

The soul reapers were up to there normal activities. Some were drinking until they passed out, some were doing there paperwork till dawn and some were doing extra training. It was all quiet even though there was the threat of Aizen attacking at any time.

Ichigo was sitting in his office doing with a huge headache and a huge stack of paperwork staring at him because he was like Rangiku, he always liked to put it of and do something else but his lieutenant -Rukia Kuchiki- was adamant that he gets his paperwork done or she would not talk to him ever again. He knew she wasn't joking so he hurried of to get it finished.

When Karin reached the soul society she instantly felt the soft breeze blowing against her deep wounds.
"Now where is my stupid brother?" She asked Uryū
"Well the soul reapers are in the seireitei, past that giant wall, This is just the Rukongai district. Where the souls are sent to" He replied while pointing to the huge soon as he finished talking Karin started running of in that direction."Hey, wait!" he shouted. Running after her. She took no notice of him telling her to wait, she heard a faint murmur'So like your brother, rushing into things' but she ignored it and kept running.

Soon Uryū caught up as she was quickly running out of energy. He didn't know how long it would take until she collapsed. They were near to the gate but suddenly Karin hid behind the last house.
"What are we doing here ?" he asked. Karin quickly caught her breath before she began to speak.
"We are going to wait here until a soul reaper comes out and when the gate is open, we slip inside. Plus I need to gain some of my energy back" Uryū was shocked. She actually came up a with a simple plan that even a idiot could follow. She was not like her brother at all. She was more intellectual.

They didn't have to wait long until the gate opened and two soul reapers came out."Now is our chance. Lets go" she said. Without hesitation they ran to the gate. They successfully slipped past until they heard a deep voice saying,
"Hey you two" they did not turn around to see who was addressing them. They kept on running. They then heard the same man shouting,
"Intruders!" soon there was a bell and voices could be heard.
"This will be a lot harder to find your brother"
"Really? I was thinking, we let them find us and demand to know where Ichigo is" a bead of sweat dropped from Uryū. Sometimes she is a lot like Ichigo.

Ichigo was still working when a black butterfly came in saying that there were two intruders. Ichigo stopped what he was doing, grabbed Zangetsu who was resting against the wall and ran out the door. He silently thanked the intruders, he could now get a break from doing his paperwork in that stuffy office.

Karin and Uryū had no idea on where they were going. It was much like a labyrinth to them.
"Oh for gods sake. It feels like we have been running in circles. We haven't came across anyone yet." Karen's patience was slowly running out. She turned around another corner. When she turned around she saw that she had lost Uryū. She couldn't turn back for him now, she probably get more lost if that was even possible.

Soon Karin heard footsteps,
"Hey you there, halt" Karin was in luck. She obliged to the mans request. When she turned around, the man who shouted was walking towards her. He was of medium height. He had three scratches on one side of his face and the number 69 on the other side. When he was a meter from her he asked,
"What are you doing here" now it was time to put Karins plan into action. She quickly flashed stepped and pinned him against the nearest wall.
"Tell me where Ichigo Kurosaki is?" the man was surprised. Why would she want him. Now the other men where surrounding them. When he didn't say anything. She pressed against him harder.
"Tell me where he is" she was going to get the answers out of him somehow,
"Let lieutenant Shuhei go, Intruder" a voice said
"I will let him go once he tells me where Ichigo Kurosaki is" Karin said never taking her eyes of Shuhei. When Shuhei looked into her eyes, they looked familiar to him. Like he had seen them somewhere. He could see in her eyes that she was more in pain than anger. He finally realised that she is not hurting him. He feels more refreshed before she pinned him against the wall. 'Is she using kido on me' Shuhei thought.
"Keep going forward till you see a fire hydrant then take a right and then a left. That is where his barracks are" Karin leaned forward and whispered into his ear,
"Thank you. I won't say you told me and I'm sorry" as soon as she spoke she followed his directions.
"Lieutenant, why did you tell her?"
"I don't, know. But her eyes look so familiar" Shuhei was still thinking about what she said. Her voice was so sincere. Like she was glad. She even apologised. Was it a 'Sorry I pinned you against a wall' or a 'Sorry for what I am about to do' somehow Shuhei had a feeling to follow her.
"Follow me" he stated and ran after Karin.

Karin followed his directions carefully. She hid behind buildings just so other shinigami won't find her. She was only running on adrenaline now. She couldn't fight, use kido or any other shinigami techniques. All she could was run. Her wounds were still open. Blood was still seeping through soaking her clothes. No one had really noticed the wounds as it was the night. The only light was from the moon and a few lamps but they didn't make it bright. They only lit up the way.

The people she was hiding from were gone she continued to run. She had to be carefully not to run into anyone else. She had to find her brother soon. Karin was lucky she managed not to run into anyone else. She saw a tall a man with a bright orange hair carrying an overgrown meat cutter turning a corner. She knew it was her brother. He is rather unique. Karin gave a soft smile, she had finally found him. Her gentle smile had turned a scowl. She picked up her speed and ran after him. She managed to get in front of him standing sideward so she could see him but kept her face hidden.
"Are you looking for me?" she smirked. Ichigo unwrapped Zangetsu and stood in a defensive stance. Karin scoffed, her own brother was going to fight her. She now fully turned around, so Ichigo could recognise her.
"Ugh, put it away Ichigo" he was surprised this intruder knew his name but when he got a better look at her face he knew why she knows his name. The raven-hair, the face and her eyes gave it away.
"Karin? W-what are you doing here?" He asked She used the rest if her energy to flash step towards him. Pinning him against the wall. She gripped his Haori so she wouldn't fall but to him he we would think she was trying to hurt him.
"Where were you ?"she said with every emotion coming out her mouth.
"Where were you!" she repeated. Hoping he would answer but Ichigo had no idea on what she was on about.
"You could've helped. I couldn't do it alone" Ichigo was so confused. He didn't know why his younger sister is yelling at him.

Shuhei and his group had followed Karin. They were now watching behind a building, the encounter between the intruder and captain Kurosaki. Shuhei then saw it. Why the intruders eyes were so familiar, it was the same eyes Ichigo had. They eyes that refused to show emotion to anyone.

"Where were you Ichi..."soon Karin had collapsed into his arms."Karin, Karin!" He shouted

Ichigo put his hand on her back to support her but he felt something poking at his skin. When he took his hand away and looked at it, it was covered in blood. Ichigo was so worried 'What had happened ' he kept wondering. Soon Shuhei walked over to Ichigo
"Ichigo, how do you know the Intruder?"
"Shuhei do you think captain Unohana could heal her" hoping to get an answer
"I'm not sure, maybe. I remember they were all up to healing your group when you first came here" That was true. members of squad 4 did heal them if they got hurt especially Hanataro who had helped the most.
"Well, ill be of. Oh yeah, please tell everyone that she is not an intruder. Trust me. I will explain later." Ichigo picked Karin up in a bridal style and flashed stepped over to squad 4.

When Ichigo went in it was dark. The lights were off.
"Captain Unohana?" Ichigo shouted down the corridors. He walked down the dark corridors until he saw a room with a light on. He walked to the door and peeked inside. It was captain Unohana's office. He used his feet to put his foot in the crack in the door and opened it.
"Hey captain, can you do me a favour" he said suggestion to Karin
"Oh gracious" she stood up from her desk and swiftly walked over to the Karin. Her office was sort of plain. It had a bookshelf full of medical books. A desk, a chair, a couch and a coffee table. The walls are plain white and the floor was just a hardboard and a blue rug in the front of the desk. It did look cosy though. As she got closer to Karin. She saw how severe her wounds were.
"Follow me" she said and swiftly walked out the door.

He followed her to room where there was only one bed in there. Ichigo laid her on the bed. When he finally got a better look at his sister. He saw how serious it was. Karins face was colourless. The only colour there was on her face was red but that was the blood flowing down her face. Her whole body had lots of deep wounds. One or two of them had closed over but most of them were still open. Her clothes were all ripped and were covered in blood .There were only a few patches that had not been touched. They held the shihakusho together. Already the sheet cover had been covered in blood
"Who is she?" she asked with a sweet voice.
"Erm, this is the intruder that the soul society are trying to find and don't worry she is not a threat I can guarantee that" Unohana was shocked. This girl who was lying lifeless in the bed was the one everyone was looking for and yet there was no reported injuries at all.
"Captain Kurosaki do you have any spear clothes, she can't wear that tatted thing." talking about her shihakusho
"Yes I do. I'll go get them"

When Ichigo came back with the spear clothes. He saw a couple of people running in and out of Karin's room. When he walked in he saw his sister lying on her front while Unohana took a piece of something out of her back and placed it in a steel bowl. While Isane wiped the blood of her face.
"Glass" she said " She got glass stuck in her back" he only nodded. He didn't know what to say. The only thing he could say was,
"I got the clothes. They might be too big for her though" he handed the clothes to Isane before heading out the door, giving them some privacy.

He slid down the wall putting his face in his hands 'How could she end up like that. Maybe that's why she kept saying 'Where were you' what if she really needed me and I wasn't there I couldn't forgive myself' Ichigo's thoughts were interrupted when he heard his name being called.
"Ichigo?" when he looked up, Renji was standing in front of him. Soon the other captains and Lieutenants were coming down the corridor. Ichigo quickly stood up and brushed the dust of him.
"Hey man what were you doing on the floor" Renji chuckled
"Oh, just thinking" he chuckled back "So what are you doing here anyway. Aren't you supposed to be drinking with Rangiku" hoping that they weren't here to see Karin.
"Head captain said that the intruder was here and the captains and their lieutenants had to come down here and question him. " before Ichigo could tell Renji who was actually in the room, captain Unohana came out.
"Captain Kurosaki, may I speak with you" Ichigo obliged to the captains request. When he was closer he gave her a nod so that she could continue.
"Well I have cleaned up wounds. You are lucky you came in when you did it could of been fatal. Anyways she is stable now, she is just resting now. It is up to her when she wakes up." Ichigo peeked in the door. He saw his sister quietly resting.
"Captain Kurosaki who is she" Ichigo didn't know whether he should say or not but she did save his sisters life even though she is classed as The Intruder. "Erm, she is my little sister. Karin Kurosaki. Don't mention this to anyone. I don't know what she would want" Unohana gave of a sweet smile. The girl in the bed was the reason why Ichigo fights.
"Can I go inside and see her?" Unohana gave a gentle nod.

Ichigo silently slipped into the room. His sister looked a lot better. The wounds had closed over, the colour in her face was coming back. She looked so peaceful sleeping. Ichigo walked around and sat in the chair that was beside her bed. He saw that his sister was clinging to her zanpakuto. He tried to move the zanpakuto away from her but she had a firm grip. Ichigo gave a gentle smile. Karin always had a strong grip even when she was a baby. His little sister was all grown up. Soon there was a knock at the door. Ichigo recognised who it was. It was his lieutenant.
"Come in" soon the door opened and a petit shinigami came in. When she saw who was in the bed she was shocked.
"Ichigo what happened to her" he only shrugged "Well I came to tell you that the captains want to talk to her" he gave simple nod telling her to bring them in.

The captains an their lieutenants started coming in. Some were shocked that it was a girl and others like: Toshiro, Rangiku, Renji were shocked that it was Karin.
"Hey captain, look your girlfriend is lying in bed" Rangiku whispered. Toshiro didn't say anything he gave her a death glare, lowering the temperature in the room. It was true Karin and Toshiro were the closest of friends. He even loves her but he would never tell her that. Rangiku found out about his crush and constantly teased him. He saw how damaged she was and he wasn't there to help her like friends should.
"Kazen" Karin shouted. She was in her inner world. It was forest with a river flowing down the middle and a high hill surrounding the river. Capturing its beauty. Nature always made Karin feel warm inside.
"Right here" Karin followed the voice. She pushed past a branch that lead to the river. Her zanpakuto was sitting on a boulder that was in the middle if the river. Water rushing past his feet. He had dark red hair. That went just past his neck. We was very skinny but he was well built. He wore black tunic with silver strips down the sides. Under the tunic we wore dark red shorts that went past his knees. On his feet he wore white converse. From far away we looked like a basketball player.
"Kazen what did I do wrong. Why am I in this state?"
"You did nothing wrong. You are not yet strong enough yet. You still have a low stamina. If we face Aizen again and you are not strong enough. Go bankai I will help you out. We are partners. We fight together. Okay so cheer up. I am always there. Even if you feel alone. I am there. So just concentrate on healing yourself. Then we will work on getting stronger" Karin smiled. She loved talking to her zanpakuto. He always knew what to say. She took of her sandels and joined him on the rock.
"Okay" she sighed. She soon felt cold and automatically knew who's fault it was. She started to wake up.

Know one noticed when Karin started to wake up.
"Toshiro, cool it" she said quiet groggily. She opened her eyes so that she could a better look at him. "You've not changed Toshiro" she added
"Well you have" he chuckled The others watched the scene with the intruder and captain Hitsugaya.
"Where am I?" she asked looking around the room but it was hard to see where she was with a lot of people in the room. She looked at her brother.
"You're in squad 4. How do you feel? Unohana asked
"Tired and my back hurts like hell" then before Unohana could reply Head captain Yamamoto stepped in.
"What are you doing in the soul society" with a stern voice the could scare anyone but Karin didn't flinch.
"I was looking for Ichigo Kurosaki" she replied with the same voice. Most of the captain and lieutenants were shocked at her tone but it want her fault she had just woke up. She was bound to be grumpy.
"What do you want with captain Kurosaki"
"That is none of your business" she replied. She didn't want to tell anyone of what happened.
"Do you work with Aizen" hearing that name, her eyes widened. The memories came flooding back. She could no longer stay there she had to get back to her family. With a gentle voice she said,
"Sorry. I've got to... go" she then started to leave that's when she noticed what she was wearing was pyjamas ,a plain white t shirt that was far to big for her and plaid pyjama bottoms. She kicked her feet of the bed and rolled up the pyjamas bottoms so she would trip over them. She placed her sandals back on her feet.
"You are not leaving. You haven't given a reason to why you are here?" Karin ignored him and continued to get ready. She carefully pushed herself of the bed and placed Kazen back on her back. There were a lot of complaints for her to get back into bed especially Ichigo. She turned around and faced Unohana
"Thank you so much for healing me. I appreciate it and the others who helped tell them I say thanks" she said in a sweet voice then she turned to Yamamoto "I told you why I was here and so I'm leaving" she started heading to the door but Byakuya Kuchiki stood in her way.
"You heard the head captain. You are not leaving" Karin gave him the death glare.
"And you heard what I said I am leaving. Now get out of my way" everyone was shocked at the way she talked to Byakuya Kuchiki. Ichigo was not that surprised he had seen it before but what shocked him was she was not scared to go against a noble.

Karin stepped back. She scoped the room to see if there was any other way out. There was a small window but she couldn't possibly get through their. She could try to fight them but she still had no energy. 'Kazen what do I do' ' You know what to do. ' Karin knew what he meant she looked back at Byakuya Kuchiki. She had to do it.'Forget your pain' she said to herself. She took Kazen of her back and held on to it tight. She started running towards Byakuya Kuchiki. Everyone thought she going to attack him but she did the opposite she slid through his legs. As soon as she was through his legs she ran out of the place. "Bring her back. I don't care how. Just do it" Yamamoto shouted. All the soul reapers were out if the room and chased after Karin. Some people weren't to happy to chase after her but they had a job to do. Ichigo was close behind his sister. He saw a man in white grabbing his sisters hand pulling her away.

Karin ran out of the barracks, her back in agony. She saw Uryū waiting for her outside the barracks.
"Quickly run" Uryū saw how much pain she was in and how the soul reapers were close behind her, he grabbed her hand so they could get a head start. When they were far away he let go of her hand.
"Uyrū phone Kisuke to open the senkaimon" he quickly did what she said.
"He says he have 2 minutes to get there." Karin nodded. She stopped running and jumped on top of a roof to see if she could see the senkaimon. It was on top of a hill.
"Scatter Senbonzakura" said a voice the couldn't see who it came from but it sounded like Byakuya Kuchiki. Soon pink petals were floating around her. She started to run away. She didn't have time to fight. Soon she was away from the petals. She had got cut a few times but she heard a familiar voice. She halted on top of a roof. The voice came from her friend on another roof opposite her.
"Karin I don't want to hurt you. Please come back with me" she shook her head
"I can't Toshiro. I have something to do" hoping he would understand.
"Then you left me with no choice. Reign over the frosted heavens, Hyorinmaru" Karin tried to run away but she slipped on the ice and she rolled of the roof and landing on her arm. She was in great pain. She winced. She couldn't move he right arm. She used all her energy to stand up and run away. Her back, arm, leg and head her all in agony. She noticed that she had lost Uryū again. But she had to keep running, he could call to get the senkaimon open again.

Uryū noticed he had lost Karin.
"Uryu?" He heard someone say. When he turned around it was his friend Ichigo. "What are you doing here man?"
"I was escorting your sister. Why weren't you there?. She needed you the most. I have seen your sister fight multiple people and not once did she give up. Even when though she felt like she was losing. She never gave up. Not once but this time she did and you know why she knew she couldn't do it alone. You are lucky I got there in time. But seriously why weren't you there?" Ichigo was confused. His sister gave up.
"I don't what you are talking about. Karin said the same thing. I honestly don't know what you are talking about" Uryū gave him an apologetic look
"You will know more if you follow Karin" Uryū said the ran to the gate. Ichigo following him.

Karin was almost there. It was right in front of her. She could see Uryū in her peripheral vision. Ichigo was behind him and Toshiro, Byakuya, Renji, Rukia, Jushiro and Shunsui were chasing after her. 'Almost there. Please hold on for a bit longer' she cried to herself. She couldn't fall now. She was almost home. She and Uryū stepped through the senkaimon with the others on their tail.

After running for 5 minutes in the gloomy cave, she could see a light in front of her. She was almost there. She picked up her speed and rushed out if the gate. When she game out she was in Kisuke's basement. There Jinta and Kiskue were waiting for her. Kisuke saw that her arm was injured and she was almost out of energy so he placed her on his back. Using her good arm she held on while Kiskue climbed out of the basement. She carefully jumped of his back and ran to the room where her father and sister was. She slid open the door.
"I'm here" she panted.
