Karin came out from the kitchen with bread hanging from her mouth. She saw Toshiro resting on the couch. She walked up to him and gently shook his shoulders. He opened his eyes to see Karin hovering above him. He smiled and pulled her in for a hug.
"Don't sleep on the couch." She said as she took the bread out of her mouth while she broke his grip. Toshiro leaned forward and took the bread out of her hand with his mouth. She smiled and helped him up and lead him to the bedroom. He slowly ate the bread that he had taken of her.
"I'll get better if you stayed with me." Karin laughed and kissed his cheek. She lead him into the room and sat him on the bed. Toshiro slipped his legs under the covers and got comfy. He placed the piece of bread on the bedside table. Karin began to take of her uniform. Toshiro smiled and moved her covers so she could just slip into bed. His smile fell when he saw her put on another T-shirt that wasn't her pyjama top.
"What are you doing? I thought you were going to sleep with me." Karin shook her head and took of her trousers and placed her joggers on. She looked round to see Toshiro staring at her. "Please." He pleaded. "Sleep with me."
"I'm going to play football in the Rukongai district. So if you are dying, I'm there." He chuckled at her words. "Oh, Rangiku has done the paperwork for today, so don't worry." Karin walked over to him and kissed his forehead. Toshiro grabbed her waist and pulled her in closer.
"I will come get you, then we'll go on a date." Karin was about to object him but he smiled and kissed her lips. Karin kissed him back then pushed him away then winked as she left. Toshiro blushed and pulled the covers over his face.
Karin ran through the soul society. She wanted to get their quickly. She needed to do the thing that distracted her from all her soul reaper stress.
"Karin? Where you going?" She looked around to see Nagisa and her football buddies together. Karin pointed to her football outfit. They all nodded and smiled.
"Do you want to come with? The children love experienced people to play with them." They all smiled and followed her to the gate.
When they were walking the Rukongai district, all her friends stayed close to her. Karin laughed as the first district was the safest of them all. Yeah, there was a danger but nothing Karin couldn't handle. Jinta walked beside next to her as he kept looking over her. He knew something was wrong with her.
They saw a gang of males surrounding a little boy. Karin called Kazen to give her haori. She quickly rushed to the young boys aid as she slid her haori on. She ignored all her friends complaints. She squeezed herself through the crowd and stood in front of him.
"What the hell do you think you are going to this young boy?" A male rushed towards Karin and aimed his fist at her face. Karin quickly grabbed his fist and squeezed it. He began to yelp in pain. "I don't appreciate adults picking on kids. For god sake, your grown ups."
Karin turned around and helped the young boy. He held her body as he began to shake. Karin bent down and wrapped her arms around his body. She ruffled his hair and smiled.
"Don't worry about it. Hey, do you want to play football with my friends?" The boy smiled and Karin held his little hand as she lead him up to her friends, she ignored all the gang members who stared at her. They knew that the captain of the 9th squad may look sweet and innocent but she was not to be messed with.
Karin walked to the football field to see the children she usually plays with. She grabbed the younger boy, placing him on her hip and ran down the hill. Her friends following behind. The boy was slightly scared as those boys picked on him but he knew he could feel safe in Karin's arms.
"Hey!" Karin called to them. They all ran up to her and hugged her. They couldn't help but laugh as she saw their smiling faces. She ruffled their hair. Some swatted her hand and some allowed it, loving the sensation it brought.
"I brought my friends. You want to play?" The boys all cheered. "Alright split into two teams." A young boy with black hair ran up to Nagisa and held her hand.
"Be on my team." She couldn't help but laugh as he was so cute. A taller boy went up to Jinta and smiled.
"Be on my team." Karin managed to split everyone up, evenly. Karin had Taka, the boy she saved, Shino, the oldest out of the group of boys, he had black hair with purple eys, Nagisa, Yumi, Rei, he was the younger brother to Shino. He had the same features as his brother, Haru, a boy with blond hair and blue eyes, and Punta.
The other team had Airi, Jinta, Ryohei, Kazuya, Shù a young boy with dirty blond hair and green eyes, Yato, a boy with red eyes and dark brown hair, Yuki, who had silver hair and Kazuma, he was bigger than the rest of them. He had brown hair and hazel brown eyes. Karin was happy to see the kids laughing.
Karin and her friends taught the younger kids how to play properly and the cool tricks they could do. They taught them how to shoot and how to weave. Karin was about to shoot but she passed it to Kazuma. He shot the ball into the goal but Jinta managed to catch it. Karin smiled and ruffled his hair.
"You did amazingly, I'm proud of you." The boy laughed and looked to the sky before waving at her.
"I got to go home. Thanks for playing with me." Karin watched as the young boy ran away to his house. All of Karin's friends ran up to her and patted her back or her shoulder.
"Good game, but why?" Karin looked to Punta who had a hand on her shoulder.
"I need to think." Karin didn't want to tell her friends that she was pregnant with Toshiro's child. She was still thinking it out for herself. Jinta knew the reason as Yuzu had told him and he was happy for his friend but he didn't want her to regret her choice.
Karin took her down from her ponytail and let her hair dance in the wind. The tips waving up and down as she stepped. Karin wanted to go home and have a shower but Toshiro was going to collect her. She saw a woman and child that she had been acquainted with. She noticed she was struggling with her bags and the child. Karin rushed over to her and patted her back. The woman smiled when she saw who had caught her attention.
"Would you like a hand?" The woman nodded and Karin picked up half of the shopping bags. Karin nodded for her friends to head back on her own. Karin threw Jinta her dagger. He happily accepted it and walked away from her. She knew her friends were scared of the district.
Karin was lead into a small shack. It was big enough for three people. She saw there was a different room for a shower and the toilet. She was lead to the kitchen so she could put down the messages down. Karin looked at the young boy, she had help deliver.
He was able to sit up without the help of everyone else. He had lovely brown hair, just like hers and lovely green eyes. He was observing his home carefully taking in every detail just like Karin was doing.
"What age is he now?" Karin walked up it him and stroked his cheek.
"7 months." Karin smiled and stared into his green eyes. She couldn't help but crack a smile when she saw the child. The woman didn't mind, she knew the captain would never hurt her.
"Sorry, me and my fiancé are expecting a child. It's just I'm not sure if it would be the right decision." Karin gently patted her stomach. The woman was shocked that Karin was pregnant and also was engaged.
"May I ask, who is your fiancé?" The woman gently found her hand and studied the ring.
"I'll let you guess, he's a captain. Know that, captain Kurosaki is my brother and the captain of squad three is my father so it none of them." The woman sat Karin down at the kotatsu and placed her son in Karin's arms.
"First, you want a cup of tea." Karin kindly accepted her offer. She played with the young Takehiko. She was tickling his stomach and smiled every time he laughed. He had a gummy mouth but he was still so adorable. The woman came through and handed Karin a cup of tea. Karin took a sip them pushed the tea further away from the child. He played with her hair as she talked with his mother.
The woman stared into space as she tried to guess who it could be. She studied her and thought about each captain then cancelled a few out.
"Can't be the head captain, the 10th captain, 12th captain, 3rd, 2nd, 4th, 11th or the fifth. So that leaves 6th, 7th, 8th and 13th." She thought out loud. Karin laughed as she already ruled out her fiancé.
"Before I let you carry on, he's one that you ruled out." The woman was speechless. It was one of the ones who were not in her league, well older than her or her family. She tried to think who it could be.
"I give up. Tell me." Karin brought out her phone and looked through her photos then found one of her and Toshiro. They were at the Christmas party. Karin had her arm round his neck, showing the stone on her finger while his hand was wrapped round her waist. They both had smiles on that reached their ears. Karin turned her phone around and showed the woman. Her eyes widened when she saw the 10th captain smiling for once.
"He smiling." Karin laughed and looked at the photo.
"He smiles only around me." The woman awed and looked at her stomach. She could only imagine the cutest baby that would be created from Karin and Toshiro. She watched as Karin played with her son. The way she had automatically moved her tea so he wouldn't burn himself, the way she protected his little head from falling and banging it on the table edge.
"What does captain Hitsugaya want?" Karin kept her eyes on Takehiko.
"He wants the baby. It's me who doesn't know what I want." Karin watched as they young boy yawned and got himself comfy in her arms. Karin moved him and rested him in her arms.
The woman stood up and took Takehiko out of Karin's arms. She saw the way Karin was disappointed.
"Captain Yoshida, if you don't mind me saying. If you are disappointed when I take Takehiko away from you, I'll guess you'll be disappointed if you didn't have this baby." Karin stared at the woman in shock. She saw through her. Karin started to pat her -still- flat stomach.
"Sure, your right. Thanks." Karin was smiling as she continued to rub her stomach. Karin was cut of when her phone rang. She quickly answered it so she wouldn't wake Takehiko up.
"Hey, how's your head?" She asked her fiancé.
"I'm fine. Your dad gave me a pain killer. Where are you? I'm at the field where we played football." Karin put down the phone and held the speaker.
"Do you mind if Toshiro comes here? We're going on a date." The woman stood, nodded and helped Karin up.
"Find me. I can't explain it but come in."
She heard Toshiro call out to her. Karin saw as he came in with clothes in his arms. He handed them to her.
"Excuse me, do you mind if I go for a shower?" The woman smiled and pointed to the room around the corner.
"I was going to suggest that you do. Excuse me captain Hitsugaya could you keep an eye on Takehiko?" She pointed to the child sleeping. Toshiro nodded and watched as Karin left. He couldn't help but smile at the child. He so wished Karin would get on his side and have his child. He only wanted him and Karin to hold their child and be there for it.
Takehiko began to cry so he picked him up and gently rocked him in his arms. His cries slowly began to quieten down. The young boy fisted his haori. His head resting in his chest. Karin peeked her head around the frame and stared at him. She couldn't wait to tell him the good news.
Toshiro watched as the mother of Takehiko took him off him.
"Your fiancé is ready for you." Toshiro looked up to see Karin walking in with a red hot dress. It had one shoulder with roses on the one sleeve. It stopped half way down her thigh but one side stopped at her knees. Her hair had been pinned to one side. It was still curly from her shower. He stood up and watched as she walked over to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. His hand went straight to her waist.
"You look beautiful." Karin smiled and turned in his arms so she was looking at the woman.
"Thanks so much. I forgot to ask, what is your name?"
"Your very welcome captain Yossida. I'm glad I could help with your predicament. I'm Kuroko." Karin smiled at her and nodded.
"Thanks for that. You opened my eyes." Karin smiled at her and kissed her cheek. Then kissed Takehiko's head. "You too." He only laughed at her words.
Karin and Toshiro were walking back through the seireriti, Karin had her heels in her hands while she had her football shoes on. Karin was resting her head on his shoulder. Toshiro had her football clothes in his hands. He was slowly running circles on her back. He held her close as he knew she was hot so other males would think the same way as him.
"Toshiro, I have good news that you might be interested in." Toshiro stopped and pulled her in front of him.
"Yeah, what is it." He was slightly scared yet hopeful of what she was going to say next.
"I've decided to have the...child." Toshiro dropped her clothes and pinned her against a wall. Toshiro quickly kissed her lips.
"Seriously?" Karin nodded and kissed him again. "I'm going to be a father." He laughed with happiness.
