Chapter 2

Hitsugaya took a deep breath and walked back towards the shopping mall after a few moments. He went back to the same shop and saw Matsumoto, Hinamori and Yuzu looking at other clothes, he took another deep breath and walked towards them.

"Where's Kurosaki?" He asked, the three girls looked at him confusingly and both Matsumoto and Hinamori pointed at Yuzu, he shook his head and said "I mean the other Kurosaki" The girls' mouth formed an 'o' and Matsumoto said "Taichou! Just call her by her name otherwise it's confusing!"

Yuzu and Hinamori nodded in agreement and he just sweat dropped.

"Well… A guy from our class saw Karin-chan and asked her to have a private talk" Yuzu replied. When Hitsugaya heard this he nodded and shoved his hands in his pocket, ready to turn around and leave but was stopped when Hinamori grabbed hold onto his arm and he turned his head to look at her with his eyebrows raised in a questioning look.

"Shiro-chan! Why did you suddenly run off? Karin-chan was hurt by your actions" She asked.

"I… I just needed to get away who knows what the hell I will do next and its Hitsugaya taichou to you" He replied as he looked away. Hinamori pouted and Matsumoto then spoke up "Do you feel sorry for what you have done?"

Hitsugaya stayed silent and then slowly he nodded his head which wasn't visible to Hinamori and Yuzu but Matsumoto saw the small nod. She smiled and placed her hands on her hips and said "Then buy that dress for her as an apology!"

Hitsugaya looked at her baffled and opened up his mouth to speak but no words came out so he closed them again.

"Karin-chan never wear dresses, but if it's from you Hitsugaya-kun then I'm sure she will be more than happy to accept it and wear it for our Christmas prom," Yuzu said hoping that he will say yes. He looked down at the ground and debated what to do next. After a few minutes of thinking, he nodded, "Very well… I'll buy it, give me the dress" He fully faced the girls and they all let out a bright smile and Matsumoto handed him the dress and he walked towards the cashier with the dress in his arms.

As the cashier scanned the price she asked "Is this for your girlfriend?"

"N"

"YES!" Matsumoto and Hinamori screamed out for him before he could say no

"Then shall I wrap it up for you?"

"N-"

"YES PLEASE!" Hitsugaya's eyebrows twitched in annoyance at the two girls behind him while Yuzu just giggled at the sight. The cashier excused herself for a bit and went to the back room to grab some wrappers and ribbons, at that time Hitsugaya turned around and faced Matsumoto who was just checking out her nails as if nothing happened and Hinamori was having a conversation with Yuzu.

"Matsumoto, Hinamori, when we return to the Soul Society, I expect you two to be ready for any punishments that I will give you" He said as he gave his deadliest glare at the two women who just waved their hands as if nothing happened.

"Sorry for the wait, which wrappers should I use to wrap?" The cashier asked, Hitsugaya turned around again and looked at the blue, white and red wrappers. He sighed and pointed at the white wrapper, then he saw the ribbons that the cashier showed him next, there were red, green, blue and white. He then pointed at the blue one and the cashier nodded and started to wrap the box that contains the dress that he just bought.

After he received the item, he and the girls walked out together. Yuzu smiled and Hitsugaya noticed her appearance at how much she has changed, she has grown out her honey brown hair that reaches to her shoulders and saw that she has outgrown her child look face. He sighed as he held onto the beautifully wrapped box as they headed back to the Kurosaki residence. "Where is Karin-chan?" Hinamori asked.

"She might be back at home" Yuzu replied.

"I'm home" Yuzu called out as she opened the door to their house. "Welcome back Yuzu" A deep male voice called out as he walked to the entrance to greet Yuzu. His eyes widened at the sight of Hinamori, Matsumoto and Hitsugaya.

"MOMO!? RANGIKU!? TOSHIRO!?" He exclaimed.

Hitsugaya grew tick marks and looked at the orange haired male with a glare and said "It's Hitsugaya taichou!" Yuzu took off her shoes and walked into the house. "Is Karin-chan here?"

"Ah… Yeah, she just came back, but something is wrong with her" The boy replied

"What's wrong with her, Ichigo?" Matsumoto asked

"I don't know, I tried to ask her, but she refused. Damn it, I guess it's finally that time of the year, now that she is a teenager." Ichigo replied as he scratched his orange hair. Matsumoto then glanced at her taichou and Hitsugaya felt his gaze and looked back at her.

"GO!" Hitsugaya was pushed towards the stairs that lead to the bedrooms upstairs by Hinamori, Yuzu and Matsumoto. He glared back at the three and Ichigo glared at him. He sighed and walked up the stairs and knocked on the door to which he assumed that it belongs to the twins. He got no response and so he knocked the door once again this time harder, and now the door opened a bit revealing Karin. "May I come in?" He asked, Karin nodded and opened the door wider and he took a step inside.

"HELL YEAH!" Matsumoto screamed out as she high fived with Yuzu and Hinamori when they saw Hitsugaya walked into the room.

"Okay… so what's going on and why are you two here? I only know that Rukia is here" Ichigo asked

"Well…" Hinamori started

"What's the matter Kurosaki? Your brother and sister are worried" He started. Karin sat on her bed as she looked at the white envelope in her hands, he stayed silent as he patiently waits for her reply. He then observes her more and saw how her beautiful short hair has grown into a long hair that reaches to her mid back, her face has grown feminine and out grown the child look. She may look feminine but she still has her tomboy appearance. "It's nothing much, but…" She started and Hitsugaya stopped observing her and looked at her in the eyes.

"But?" he asked

"BUT WHEN THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO CALL ME BY MY NAME!?" she yelled out.

He was lost for words and blinked as Karin glared at him. He then shook his head and glared back at her "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO CALL ME BY MY LAST NAME!?" he asked back

"NEVER!"

"THE SAME GOES FOR ME!" The two leaned closed their foreheads leaning against one another as they glared and gritted their teeth.

Hitsugaya sighed in annoyance and pushed the box into her arms which caught her by surprise "What… what's this?" She asked as she held onto the box.

"It's… for… you… Kurosaki" He replied as he looked away.

"What for?"

"For… for…" he trailed off as he looked away. Karin cocked her head to one side and he took a deep breath and said "For hurting you by my actions, Hinamori, Matsumoto and Yuzu told me about it. I apologize" Karin was baffled and then looked at the wrapped box in her arms and then looked at him with a grin. "Thanks Tosh!" She thanked him, Hitsugaya looked at her and then started to blush and turned around. "See you Kuro… Karin" he said softly at the last part and walked away, Karin heard him called her by her name and her grin brightened.
