AN: Karin is 13 years here, and Ishida is about 20... Pliz Read and Review And scream out if Karin is too Mary Sue

It was two year since that day. Our town was pretty much going to hell, the hollows were coming more often now, well, it's to be expected since there are so many people with spiritual powers here, and no shinigami in town. Me, Ururu and Jinta didn't have a chance to take them all. So more people were dying, and the police were going crazy. They were starting to take in random people, just so it would look like they were doing something. Well, it doesn't help at all. It only makes people take their own actions. And that is never a good thing, desperation and grief is never a good companion for the people left after death and tragedy has struck.

I tried talking to Ishida once.

"Why can't you help us?" I asked trying to make him understand.

He looked down at me apologetic "I don't have time Karin, please can't you understand" He took his hand up to his glasses and pushed it closer to his eyes.

"And it's not like I don't do anything. Trust me, Karin, I do, but Hollow hunting and Quincy duties just don't make money." He looked into my eyes and smiled weakly.

"Money, this is about money," I said. I could feel my lips turn into a frown. "People are dying for crying out loud"

"Sometimes you are just so like your brother," The man in front of me said. I felt my body go cold and my words didn't have any emotion.
"I am not like Kurosaki Ichigo in any way."

He looked at me with a sad frown, "He really did something unforgivable to you that day"

I looked up at him. "I wasn't the one he hurt," I said while looking down at the carpet. It was really a nice office.

"Ah, have you visited Yuzu today?" He asked

"Yes I gave her some new flowers before coming here," I said "she likes flowers"

Ishida turned to his desk sat behind it and took out a file.

"Hmm, 'Kurosaki Yuzu' her condition hasn't changed much over the past 2 years. The nurses see no sign of life and if it has changed it has only been for the worse." Ishida said while looking in the file. He looked up at me with concern in his eyes.

"I know, but she will wake up, I know she will." I could feel tears press behind my eyes but refused them to show.

"Hmm, but Karin you must remember that 2 years is a lot and it's not sure,-"

"I know she will wake up, didn't you say that she didn't have any damage on her body" I looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"But Karin as I said last time, emotional damage is much harder to recover from, we can only wait for her to be ready and want to wake up."

I sat down in the chair in front of the desk and looked down at the ridiculously clean desk.

"Why wouldn't she wish to wake up?" I looked at him over the desk.

"It's not that she doesn't wish to wake up, but it's more like her body isn't ready to accept this reality." He smiled sadly, closed the file and put it back. "Are you hungry?"

I nodded, I wasn't sure if my voice would hold.

"I'll be right back" He got up from his chair and left the room. I used this time to make sure I didn't have any traitor tears in my eyes. He came back a few minutes later with some food and two cups of coffee. I took the cup and started to sip on it. We sat in silence for a while.

"You know you can come to me for anything right Karin if you need help or just someone to talk to" I could feel his eyes studying my face. I could feel a few traitor tears sneaking away from my eyes, he probably knew because he looked away quickly.

"Thank you," I said.

"Well I have to continue working but you can stay if you want."

I took a muffin and started to nibble at it quietly.

Well, he had helped out a bit more. Orihime and Tatsuki left for Europe and haven't come back since, not that I can blame them. If I got a chance like that I would definitively stay in Europe. I got letters from them every week though. Chad was only in town a few times a month, but every time he was, he always killed a lot off hollows. He lived in Spain now; I think he inherited a wine farm. But every time he comes he always has something for me, like a t-shirt or a new football. I guess they all feel sorry for me. Not that I get much time to play football anymore.

And then it came, that day. A group of three guys and one girl corned me on the street. I didn't know them but I knew they went to the same school as me.

"If you give us your money we might consider letting you go," One of them said, he was tall and skinny and wore dirty clothes, all of them did. It was normal to see homeless children on the street. They were probably some runaway kids. One of them, the girl, didn't look too happy to be there, she looked hungry, but she looked like she knew what she was doing. The two others were two twins. They looked a bit scared and it didn't look like they wanted to be there either.

"Really, if I give you my money you might consider letting me go?" I asked mockingly "Hmm, I have to say thank you, but no thanks." I looked around, I was sure I could feel another presence, but the thing I felt didn't have the same feeling to it like these people. The feeling felt old and a richly flavored, a bit like dark chocolate. The boys didn't have any feeling to them, but the girl had an overly sweet feeling like lots of sugar in tea. The skinny guy moved forward to attack. I kicked him on his leg and gave him a punch straight in his face. He fell back with a groan. He was about to move again when the two twins grabbed his arms and dragged him back and they started running. I looked at the girl.

"You aren't going to run?" I asked her. She lifted an eyebrow.

"I'm not scared of you," she said

"I didn't think so either" I looked closer at her, we were probably the same age. "I just thought that you would want to be with your friends"

"They aren't my friends"

"Are you going to try and hit me?" I asked looking at her carefully, but she didn't move "What is your name?"

"Kaye," She said, "and you?"

"Kurosaki Karin" I could feel the other presence grow stronger. "Was it only you four that came, or was it one more?" I studied her face in case she tried to lie

"No, but I think I can feel someone here" I looked at her. I could feel my heart beat grow faster.

Click, clock, click, clock

I looked around and back at Kaye; she looked as concentrated as I felt.

"Come out, come out whoever you are," I said loudly.

"I'm sorry if I frighten you" I turned around slowly to see a man in wood clocks, blue shorts and a big white tank top and a black cap. In his hand, he held a big lilac and furry umbrella. I could hear Kaye catch her breath. She probably tried not to laugh. The sun was shining and it was no chance it would rain.

"Sorry, what are you supposed to be?" I asked, scowling a bit, Kaye still giggling.

"Aha, it's not nice to laugh at others," he said with a smile

"What do you want?" I asked I could feel Kaye straighten up.

"I just wanted to know" he pulled his cap down so it was hiding his eyes, "if you would be interested in learning the art of killing people?"

"Are you nuts?" Kaye asked with a hint of a smile in her voice.

"No my dear Kaye no-last-name I am not what you call nuts," he said and smiled as he continued, "but I am, believe it or not, very rich, and I am simply offering two lovely girls an opportunity to be as rich as I"

"Then what are you?" I said, "just a bit bold maybe?" I studied him, he did look a bit crazy, and maybe he had escaped a madhouse.

"Yes Karin dear, I am very bold" His smile grew bigger. He was definitive crazy.

"How do you know or names?" Kaye asked a bit frightened now. He looked down at her.

"Don't ask the obvious Kaye I have been watching you for a while now, well, I have been watching Karin, and well it seems you are able to see me as well Kaye and therefore, you get to join in on all the fun."

"Also, Karin dear, if I where you, I wouldn't just stand here when my family is about to be attacked," I turned around and spotted my house, it wasn't far away. I frowned and was about to turn back when I saw tree black figures surrounded the house and jump in a window. I ran towards my house. I could feel Kaye beside me, after a few seconds we stormed the door and was inside. Inside was a sight I will never forget, two men in black clothes holding my dad down, while one was trying to talk to him.

"… Please don't fight against us, soul society needs you, and we have been kind enough to leave you be, to let you live out a life here." The one talking said, he turned around and looked at us. He was blond, with a said mournful expression. He ignored us and turned back to dad and continued. "However, the times are changing and we need you to be our captain. You have a commitment. You have sworn oaths!"

"OY" I turned around to see Kaye standing beside me looking pretty pissed. "Are you going to ignore us or what?" he turned around and looked a bit closer at us.

"You can see me" He looked a bit confused and then he looked like a light had been gone up, "ah you must be Karin," he said and smiled. "I'm Kira"

"No I'm Kaye," Kaye said and looked at him before turning to me. "She is,"

"I am," I said and straightened up. "What the hell do you want with my dad?"

"We just want to take your dad back to soul society," Kira said.

"In other words, you want to kill him," I said and frowned.

"You know he is already dead, so he doesn't really belong here." I felt my eyes widen and Kaye's eyes on me. I looked at my old man.

"What about me and Yuzu, we can't just live alone" I looked at the blond man, he blushed a bit.

"Ah, but you see Kurosaki Ichigo said that it would probably be smart to take Yuzu too since there is a very little chance that she will ever wake up." He said.

"Wait, what? How do you know? She isn't dead? You can't take my sister, and leave me here alone!"

I couldn't believe it! It was Ichigo's fault again. And Yuzu was going to wake up.

I felt my anger grow bigger and bigger and then

Whoosh, Rapp

I felt something hard hit my head. I turned around to see Mr. Crazy hitting me with his umbrella.

"Karin, control your anger, it's nothing you can do here" I turned back to the black-clothed men, Kira smiled apologetically and said: "I'm sorry Karin" and with a whoosh, they were gone and all that was left was the dead body of my dad. I felt my knees hit the floor and everything went black.

"Karin you have to wake up" I opened my eyes reluctantly. "Karin the police want to talk to you" I looked up at Kaye she smiled back at me.

After we had spoken with the police, they took his body and left and said they would keep in touch.

"Where did Mr. Crazy umbrella guy go," I asked Kaye.

"He left right before the police came, though I'm not so sure he is crazy" She looked thoughtful for a while. "He said he would be back, do you think he was serious" she looked at me.

"I honestly don't know," I said. We sat in silence for a while. "What did he say after i passed out?"

"He explained a bit more, but wouldn't tell me more before we went to meet them. He apprenetly workes for a lady called Kagura,"

"Kaye," I said I suddenly remembered something important, "How come you could see dose men"

She looked back at me and frowned "I don't know, I guess I just have always been able to see weird stuff, but I have never seen people like them."

"Hmm I guess it was the same with me" I said absently.

"Well, that's not true though, they knew you?" she replied looking at me curiously.

"I have no idea who they were, but i know a few like them, and my brother is one of them." I answer, "I thought he was diffrent, well I guess it doesnt't really matter now, he probably doesn't remember me anymore."

"Who, your brother? Why wouldn't he remember you?"

"No, not him, oh never mind this, I don't want to talk about it anymore. I need to figure out what to do" I grumbled.

"Have you thought any more at his offer?" She asked.

"I'd like to say yes" I turned around to her "And you?"
"Well, I don't really have many other choices Karin" She replied, "he left us a card, with an address for us to meet at, if we wanted to meed this Kagura"

We looked down at the note, it had the name'Sumon Ryoko' and an address nearby.

"You think that is his name?" She asked

"It's an odd name, but i guess?"

"Karin, I know we just met but, do you think I can live with you" I looked over at her she had a small blush that covered her face. "Yeah sure," I took the phone and called Ishida. He had called earlier to tell that Yuzu had passed away. But he had asked me to call him later so he could clear up the matter. I felt so depressed that I didn't know what to do. When I asked Ishida if he could come over, he came at once. I introduced him to Kaye and we told him everything that happened. He stayed long over midnight, but we didn't tell him about the note or the offer we had recived.
