I know I didn't give a lot for the prologue or a lot to review but hopefully this is a better size. So please review and thank you to thoes who already have e.g. ShikallllTema, I really appreciate it. Thanks:)
Chapter One
"Kaarrin, give daddy a hug" Ishiin screamed as he ran to hug his now seventeen year old daughter, who had entered the house with a football under her arm, only to be kicked in the face. Karin let out a sigh as he ran to the portrait of his deceased wife Masaki and began over dramatically crying "Our daughter is so mean to me".
Suddenly Yuzu appeared beside Karin and said "We better get to Uraharas' cause we don't want to be late to see off Unohana-Taicho, Ōmaeda- fukutaicho, Kiyone and Sentarō and meet whoever is taking their place."
"Yeah and I bet you can't wait to go and see Jinta" whispered Karin into her sister's ear so that Ichigo, who had been sitting on the couch the whole time couldn't hear, as Yuzu went bright red. Currently Ichigo didn't know about Yuzus' and Jintas' relationship if it could be called that. Sure they had been caught kissing few times by Karin, however they weren't officially going out or anything.
Karin popped a soul candy in her mouth and was quickly followed by same actions of Ishiin, Ichigo and Yuzu. Karin had become a shinigami when she was 13, then a year later Yuzu had become the same. The four shinigami appeared in their soul form of which Karin appeared the youngest. (A/N: assume that Karins' as well as Yuzus' and Ichigos' souls age at a slower than the rate of their bodies and at the same rate as those in soul society from the time they became shinigami. Therefore Karin looks approx 14, Yuzu looks approx 15 and Ichigo looks approx 17 in their soul forms).

They arrived at Urahara's to find that everyone was already there waiting for the gate to appear including those who were about to leave and all the occupants of Urahara's shop which now included Nel (who had switched sides after returning from Hueco Mundo). Orihime, Chad and Ishida were also there. Everyone began to chat to each other except Yuzu and Jinta who seemed to have snuck off somewhere.
Karin she sat there quietly thinking, "Unohana was great and even though scary in a friendly way she was able to teach Yuzu a great deal of healing Kidō especially as it was the area she was adapt in however I think I'm glad to see them go. She is kind of unnerving, Ōmaeda is annoying and really smells and Kiyone and Sentarō don't know when to shut up. I don't think I could have stood having to listen to one more pointless argument from them.
She only came out of her train of thought as a hell butterfly flew past her nose. She noticed the gate had now appeared and Yuzu and Jinta had reappeared with slightly red faces. She turned to see who was coming out of the gate. Firstly there was Ikkaku and Yumichika then Rangiku, Renji, Rukia and finally a short white haired captain who had grown slightly since the last time she'd seen him and now looked approximately 14/15 years old, Tōshirō Hitsugaya.

Once they all arrived back at Urahara's shop they began to discuss the necessary living arrangements.
Orihime said "My house is pretty small but I can take one". (A/N: Orihime so that she could afford to pay for university had moved in to a smaller apartment.)
Jumping at the chance Rangiku said "Sure I could stay with you, since I stayed with you before and you know we're kinda' like sisters, we could stay up having girly chats". Orihime excited that Rangiku had called their relationship almost like sisters, since she never had a sister, quickly agreed and in her head she was already planning the late night talks and snacks. "I wonder if Rangiku would like my new recepie cherry, honey and green bean sandwiches?"
Urahara then said "Well, since I got the extension put on to the shop I can take three"
Before Tōshirō could get a word in edge ways Ikkaku, Yumichika and Renji had already accepted Uraharas' offer.
"We'll then I suppose that leaves us with shorty" Ichigo stated. It was already assumed that Rukia would be staying with the Kurosaki's.
A tick already appeared on Tōshirō head and he coldly replied "Its' Hitsugaya-Taicho and I'm not SHORT!"
"Still haven't got over your height issues?" Karin rhetorically asked smirking from behind him.
He turned around slightly shocked as it was the first thing she had said so far and if he was completely honest with himself he didn't even realise she was there. He was going to say something but before he could Ichigo had interrupted his train of thought by saying: "Anyway, you know the way to our house so we are going home to get sorted, come by once you get your gigi." And they had left the room with Ishiin leaving Yuzu and Rukia who had decided to stay and train.
--
When they arrived home they prepared for their guest, this involved getting back into their bodies. Karin decided that after the morning of playing football needed to get a shower and get changed. Ichigo had already left to meet up with some friends in town however Karin guessed that he had most likely went to see Orihime, Ishiin had already left to go to the clinic and the artificial souls had already left with Rukias' and Yuzus' bodies to Urahara's shop to wait for them. This left her to wait for Tōshirō.
--
Tōshirō walked over to Urahara to get his gigi however he noticed it was different one from last time he was in the human world. He went to question Urahara however before he could say anything Urahara stated with a slight smirk on his face and a devious glint in his eyes "I thought you would like to look a bit older, your human clothes are over there as well".

Karin sat in her bedroom working on a project when she heard the door bell; she walked down stairs to open the door to an extremely hot 6 ft 1 eighteen year old guy with white spiked hair which she had the sudden urge to run her hand though. He wore baggy jeans with a black T-shit which even though wasn't tight, it showed off his perfectly sculpted abs.
"T-Tōshirō" Karin stuttered out of shock, she was pretty sure she had stood there staring at him for at least a minute, there was no way this was the youngest captain of the 13 Goeti but it was confirmed when he mumbled something along the lines of "Its Hitsugaya-Taicho".
She turned around to let him in and also so that he couldn't see her face which was going slightly red. "Wow" she thought "Taicho grew up and got style, who would have thought." As Tōshirō walked in he was able to see Karin fully now whereas before the door slightly blocked his view. "She's changed a hell of a lot" he thought "She was no longer such a tomboy." He tried to shake the thought out of his head. "Though she's probably still as violent as ever"
"So" Karin said "I'll show you about the house and where you will be staying". She pointed out the key parts of the house on the lower floor of the house including the living room and the Kitchen.
As he followed her round the house he began analysing how she had changed from the last time he had saw her "She was taller, about 5, 4 he estimated and her hair was now ½ way down her back. She had formed curves in all the right places" he blushed slightly at his thoughts but at least she didn't know what was running though his mind. Her fashion sense had certainly changed she had changed her spandex shorts for a pair of jeans which showed off her curvy legs to their full potential with high heeled boots which give her extra height and made them look so much longer. Then she made her way upstairs with Tōshirō following behind however her foot suddenly slipped causing her to fall backwards. "Shit" she muttered as she closed her eyes, waiting for her impact with the floor while trying to grab on to something, anything to prevent her inevitable fall.
However the impact never came and instead she felt her body pressed up against Tōshirō's rock hard body with her arms firmly secured around his neck and his hands tightly grasping her waist. She opened her eyes to find that she was just inches from Toushiro's face and she couldn't help but blush a deep shade of red as she tried to speak. "Umm, t –thanks" she managed to stutter out however she found they were still in the same position even though she had regained her balance.
She began to feel uncomfortable then again she was in a slightly comprising position which if anyone walked in they could get the wrong idea and its even with a guy who she hadn't seen in seven years and to be honest she didn't really know that well. So in true Karin style she said the first thing that came to her head which as usual was full of sarcasm.
"You know what, I think I can stand and walk by myself!"
Slightly confused by her sudden change of attitude he quickly let go of her and replied in an equally sarcastic tone "Really cause almost falling down the stairs constitutes as being able to walk"
"Almost! I didn't"
"Yeah because I caught you, so you're lucky I was here"
"If you weren't here I wouldn't have to go up the stairs at that particular moment of time and therefore wouldn't have slipped"
"Yeah, you would have probably done it later on anyway when no one would have been here to catch you cause of them shoes"
"I can walk in these shoes fine"
"Yeah cause' that's obvious"
Karin gave him a glare that would have sent him to the grave if glares could kill. Then replied "So whats' up with gigi supermidget? Tired of being an elementary student?"
"I'm not an ELEMENTARY STUDENT and I'm NOT A SUPERMIDGET?
"Maybe not, but your still short"
A vein appeared on Tōshirō head and he walked up another step so that he was on the same one as Karin and then bent down so that his head was level with hers and patted her on the head like a dog and said "So who did you call short" Karin was about to reply when she was interrupted by two spirit phones bleeping, they pulled them out of their pockets and said in unison "arrancar", they then popped soul candy in their mouths and ran out the door to the nearby soccer field. Tōshirō was pretty sure he had heard Karin say "Why does it always have to be my football pitch, why not the school, it wouldn't matter if it was destroyed – no one would care".
