It's been a long time sorry

I don't own bleach just the idea

Karin still being the centre of attention stood up and averted her eyes from Ichigo and the others. She looked back at Urahara and Yoruichi the said "Catch me" before collapsing onto Urahara's back.

"Yoruichi take Karin to rest at the… well you know where. Make sure you don't get followed the come back." Urahara said placing Karin in Yoruichi's arms and turned back to face the others just before Yoruichi flash stepped away.

Ichigo tried to follow but was held back by Urahara.

"You and I need to talk now you idiot strawberry!" Urahara growled surprisingly angry.

Ichigo and the rest just stared because for the first time wise cracking layback Urahara was angry.

"Tessai how long will it take to rebuild the shop?" he asked looking at Tessai.

"The shop will be rebuilt in an hour at most so you will have to wait boss" Tessai said.

"Good thank you get to it" Tessai nodded and then left.

Urahara once again turned to glare at the rest of the group, and said harshly.

"Follow me" he then walked away until there was a place in the rocky training ground clear enough for everyone to stand in and still have room to move.

Urahara sat on a large bolder looking down at the waiting injured and confused comrades.

Everyone stayed quiet still looking up at the always clam shopkeeper fuming on top of a large bolder.

Urahara then started to yell. He said, "Which idiot blew the trap door off its hinges." And everyone looked at Ichigo.

Urahara then let out a hollow chuckle. Ichigo stood still and soon Urahara stood right in front of the young adult.

Ichigo obviously frightened of the older man tried to form his words.

"What… happened to Karin?"

Once again Kisuke Urahara was laughing dryly.

"Wouldn't you like to know" Urahara taunted coming back to his normal self. Ichigo turned angry.

"TELL ME" he demanded. Urahara's smirk got bigger.

"Your sister has amazing power more bigger than any of us combined," Urahara explained.

"What? How?" Ichigo growled "You would of known if you even bothered to come back once during the last 4 years," Urahara growled back, leaving Ichigo struck dumb.

"Kisuke tell me what happened to my sister" Ichigo begged.

Just then Tessai came back saying that the candy shop was back to normal.

"Ichigo I will tell you what I know but first lets go back to the candy shop" everyone nodded and flash stepped off to the trap door that was fully restored.

All captains were seated in a room separate room from the others Ichigo, Rukia, Renji and Urahara were in the room as well.

They were all silently drinking green tea nobody knowing whom to talk first.

"So what happened to Karin?" Ichigo asked worried Rukia and Renji sitting on either side of Ichigo holding him down in case he explodes.

"It happened just after you left for the soul society, some Arrancar came looking for the legendary Ichigo Kurosaki; not being able to find you they went for the next best thing," Urahara started.

"They went for Karin… they took her to Heuco Munde (sorry if that's not how you spell it I'm really bad at spelling.) Your father tried to tell inform you of what had happened but Head captain wouldn't let him see you. So Yoruichci, Sado, Uryru, Orihime and myself went to get her back. It was 3 months before we could infiltrate Heuco Munde even then it took a week before we found her. She was hidden safely with our comrade. Grimmjow, but after that she's been like this. We don't know what caused it and she doesn't remember what happened but it seems like in Heuco Munde but I suspect they forced a hollow in side of her I'm not sure what kind but she has the abilities of a hollow vizardo and a soul reaper,"

"So something is in side my sister and she's getting targeted by?"

"Were not sure its Aizen because he died 4 years ago,"

"So who is it?" Byakuya asked.

Before anyone could talk the slide door slid open and Yoruichi stepped in.

Everyone looked up at the cat like woman Urahara said, "How is she?" "Safe" Yoruichi replied.

"Good" Urahara sighed in relief. "Can I see my sister?" Ichigo asked again.

"Not today come back tomorrow and she will be back to normal," Yoruichi stated quietly.

Ichigo reluctantly nodded. Ichigo and the others then left to find a place to stay Kenpachi and his squad stayed with Urahara Byakuya went to stay with Chad and some others went off to patrol.

Now all that was left was Ichigo, Rukia, Renji Rangiku and Hitsugaya. The group of 5 reached the Kurosaki Clinic ichigo rung the door bell and waited until the door opened.

Yuzu stepped out the door to be greeted by Ichigo, Rukia and 3 others. She cried with glee when she saw her brothers and his friends, she invited them in happily and said with a smile "Ichigo your back how's college? Is it good? Are these your friends?"

Ichigo let out a sigh and smiled back at the small girl "Hey Yuzu I… I don't see Karin around" he said even if he did know she wouldn't be there.

Yuzu's smile disappeared "Oh she's… she… she went missing 3 weeks after you left I haven't seen her since "Yuzu muttered out then a smile came back to her face "But I still get letters from her actually I just got one from her yesterday" everyone in the room looked at the girl.

"Letters" Ichigo asked a little too excited "Yeah but the last one was kind of hard to read I think she was crying while writing it or something cause the ink was all smudged"

Ichigo turned to the others in the house, told them to go into his room and don't come out. They did as he asked and left until there was only Yuzu and Ichigo left.

He told his sweet younger sister to get all her past letters from Karin so he could read them she did what he was told and left to fetch the letters.

Yuzu came back soon after carrying a stack of red envelopes and 1 white one.

Ichigo took the first one that was written to Yuzu that was dated for 18/5/09

3 years ago.

To my dear sister Yuzu

I am sorry for leaving like I had, I Ichigo does and I haven't contacted you for a month but I did it to keep you safe. I'm not sure when I'm going to see you again or if I'll even write again but I just wanted you to know when your sad , lonely, mad. Or happy I will know twin intuition I guess I will always keep an eye on you even if you don't know I'm there just know I'm close.

Your sister

Karin Kurosaki

Ichigo didn't know what to say so he just picks up the next letter from the order

6/10/09

To Yuzu

For five months I haven't written a letter and I am sorry for that but I have been in a lot of trouble I am afraid to tell you what trouble I am in but I believe you should know the truth if not from goat chin or Ichigo then from me. You know I can see spirits like Ichigo, you know I had been acting weird after Ichigo left and I know you know something was wrong with me. I was taken away just after you got the first letter, and I had something horrible happen to me. I am not a normal girl anymore Yuzu and I can never be like you again.

Until the next letter

Karin Kurosaki

Ichigo then put down the letter and looked up at Yuzu and said

"Yuzu how much have you learnt from these letters?" Yuzu smiled and said softly "I know that you are a soul reaper and you Karin and many other fight hollows and then she mention some stuff I didn't understand."

Ichigo nodded at Yuzu then looked back at the letters. "Yuzu" he said "Can I borrow these" Ichigo motioned to the letters. Yuzu nodded.

So Ichigo got up grabbed the letters yelled "I'll be back later" and sprinted out the door to have a little talk to Urahara about this to see if he ever knew about the letter Karin's been sending.
