Ahhh!' A dark-haired female mentally screamed. 3am in Karakura Town, most are sleeping peacefully whilst one girl is busy...
'I can't decide which University to go to...' She whispered to herself. Kurosaki Karin was again, stressing about her university applications. Even if that means stressing at 3 am in the morning.
The now young adult fiddled with the papers on her desk, her room previously her older brothers. 'Okay, Tokyo University, SSU, and HCU.'
Staring at the three forms with a furrowed brow, she gave up. 'If only Yuzu chose a university I liked...then we could've went together.' She whispered into the empty, morning sky.
Her younger sister Yuzu, to be wedded to her boyfriend in a few months, applied for SSU. Unfortunately, Karin's older brother had attended Soul Society University,(SSU) not wanted to have a built reputation from her brother, the SSU is out of question.
Dropping the two remaining university applications, she put on converses, and ran down the stairs.
'Karin?' A voice said behind her.
'Ichigo?' She said in familiarity at her older brother. 'ICHIGO!' She said whilst embracing him in a bear hug.
'Wow Karin, you have grown tall!' He says whilst holding her shoulder.
Rolling her eyes with her famous smirk she replied, 'Idiot! Course' I have, you left for 3 years!'
His expression dropped to guilty,
'I'm sorry Karin...I just needed to take more training, being the governments secret agent isn't easy you know!' Ichigo said with dramatic hand gestures.
Folding her arms and whipping her long hair behind her back she said mockingly, 'Oh yes, how can you concentrate? Orihime is your colleague isn't she?'
A blush creeped up Ichigo's face and he looked away from her face. With a wide grin she grabbed a jacket and walked for the door,
'See you in the mornin' was all she said.
'Wait! Karin! Where do you think your going, the sun hasn't even rose yet!' His attempts to stop her where of no help, so he followed her instead. His high rank isn't for nothing, masking his identity and tracking was a skill.
There on a house was Karin...with someone approaching her?! 'Who the hell is that guy...can't see his face.'
A few kilometres away, Karin rests her head on her knees above someone's house. 'Told you we would meet again, Silver.'
Karin turned around quickly, to see a blue haired man she knows well. With a smirk playing on her lips she says, 'Blue. There's a face you don't see everyday.'
His grin was growing large, but Grimmjow managed to hold it down from escaping. They stared into each others eyes for a everlasting moment, wind swaying their hair and eyes locked for an instant when...'OUCH!' Yelled Grimmjow. 'Karin! Why'd you elbow me in the stomach?'
Resting an arm on her hip she said, 'Need to get stress off somewhere, and besides, the last time I saw you was 3months ago.'
Facing her back he stared at her thoughtful form. 'If you want to get rid of some of that stress, I'd help you.'
She turned around, walking up to him and said, 'Really?'
'Yeh, when do we start.' Was his gruff answer.
'Now.' She said, turning Grimmjow's smile into a huge grin.
Grabbing his hand she flash-stepped to her house and grabbed her papers. She appeared back in an instant, 'Follow me, Blue.' And they both disappeared into thin air.
A few houses away, an orange haired, secrect agent, soul reaper stood. Open mouthed. 'Who...is...that?' Was the only words which would come out.
His spiritual pressure flared as he said his last worded thoughts, 'Your dead, Blue.' And with that he went home, waiting for Karin's solo arrival home.
Meanwhile Karin and Grimmjow sat by a small lake, surrounded by cherry blossom trees.
'So whats wrong with Tokyo University?' Grimmjow asked whilst laying on his back on the grass, holding the paper above.
'Grimmjow,' Karin said lying down whilst resting her elbows as her support, 'I told you, Takeshi's going there and it would be awkward because...'
Grimmjow stared into her silver eyes, 'Because?' He said rather impatiently.
'Because...I think Takeshi's going to propose!' She quickly blurted out.
The word echoed through Grimmjow's head, not processing correctly, he gave a formal reply, 'That's good, right?' He said looking away.
She stared at him, then broke into laughter. 'IDIOT! I thought I made it clear last time he was like a brother to me!'
He smirked at her light mood, but went to serious matters. 'What about Ishida University?'
'Brothers friend owns it.' She said looking at the sky.
'Oxford University?' He asked.
'Not in this continent.' She replied.
'Soul Society University?' He asked.
'Brother went there, my sister is starting there, as well as her boyfriend.' She huffed.
He laid on the grass next to her, both with arms behind their necks, staring at the sky. 'Why won't you go where you know people?' He asked.
Smirking and turning her head towards him she said, 'I don't want my reputation built for me.'
'Then don't.' He grinned pulling her off the ground and over his back.
The sudden force had made her cling to Grimmjow like a magnet. 'Where are we-WOAH!' She spoke. A sudden harsh yell and they were in front off...
'Hueco Mundo University, or HCU for short.' Grimmjow grinned. He looked towards Karin, 'I wanted a fresh start too, what about here?'
Entwining their fingers she opened the gates and entered the simple, white reception to enter her form. Little did she know what to expect...
