Previously on First Love…

And for you Hitsuagaya Toushiro…" Yamamoto's eyes snapped open.

"You need to join the drama club and participate to the spring play."

"WHAT?!


Today is not a good day for Karin and Toushiro. They are both forced to join the drama club in two different reasons. With Toushiro, he was forced to join because it's was his punishment because of what happened to Hanataro yesterday. And Karin, she was forced to join because her beloved twin sister of her is a blackmailer, using her threats to her let her to be manipulated by the golden brown devil.

Karin huffs while following her twin sister from behind. "Hey Yu, where are we going?" she asked.

"To the auditorium, it's where the drama club held their meetings and practices." Yuzu replied, grinning at her.

Karin didn't reply. She still doesn't want to join but she owes her sister and Yuzu will kill her if she doesn't follow.

"Hey Rukia, do you think who'll get the main role?" Yuzu asked the girl beside her.

"I don't have any clue. I've heard that Ms. Unohana will be the one to choose." The black haired midget replied.

When they've reach the auditorium, there are already many members inside. They are listening to a long black haired woman; her hair was braided in front of her instead to her back. She has a gentle smile which Karin reminds of her mother.

"Unohana sensei, sorry we're late." Yuzu apologize. "This is my twin, Karin. She wants to join the club. And this is Rukia, you know her didn't you?" she motioned.

"Ah, yes. I know Rukia-chan." The black haired lady replied. "Nice to meet you Karin, I've heard many good things about you from your sister." She smiled gently.

"Nice to meet you too, Unohana sensei" Karin said as she bowed down and glares to her sister.

Unohana smiled again and begun to explain what the play is all about.

Meanwhile, Toushiro was still in his room talking to his soccer team.

"I still can't believe it." He said while packing his things up.

"Face the truth bro; it's much easier than to tutor those annoying kids every day." Hyourinmaru sighs; he wants to forget that crazy punishment.

"Jinta must have the punishment also." Ikkaku whined.

"He's not there when the accident happened." Renji muttered.

"You're right but I don't know what to do anymore." Yumichicka sighs dramatically. "Those fucking lockers really smell bad."

"It's much better than to clean the whole school's comfort room." Hisagi butt in.

"See, you're still lucky Hitsugaya." Hyourinmaru chuckled ruffling his best friend's hair.

"Hey! Don't touch my hair!" Toushiro growled, earning a laugh to his friends. "It's not funny." He hissed as he swats Hyourinmaru's hands off to his hair. "Hey what time is it?" He asked.

"It's 10:30."

"Ooh crap! I'm late…" Toushiro exclaimed barely audible.

"What?"

"I need to go!" He said while rushing out of the room.

"Where are going?" Renji asked.

"To the drama club!" Toushiro yelled.

The whole soccer gang looked to each other and grinned. "Good luck Romeo!" They all cheered simultaneously. They must watch the spring play no matter what happened and they've wouldn't miss it for the world.

"Romeo my ass." Toushiro muttered as he run through the hall way to looked for the auditorium.

X.X

When Toushiro arrived in front of the auditoriums door, he saw a piece of paper attached to it. It says "Drama Club". Toushiro took a deep breath and opens the door. He walked pass through the chairs and proceed backstage. When he was about to open the back stage's door, he hears someone speaking. He closed his eyes and opens the door.

"… The play that we are going to present is Romeo and Juliet. It's all about the undying love and passion…" Unohana explained. "Now I will present the characters… Romeo is…" she continues explaining. "Mercutio is – " Unohana stopped. She heard someone who enters the auditorium's backstage.

Hitsugaya's eyes opened. "I'm sorry, I'm late." He said. Looking down to avoid the glances he received from the other members.

"Ohh, Hitsugaya-kun, it's okay." The older woman greeted. "Come, sit beside me." Unohana shrugs.

Toushiro looked up and his eyed widened. Karin was sitting on the right side of Unohana mirroring his expression right now. Her eyes are big as diner plate, mouth slightly apart. Toushiro sighs, and nodded. He sits on the left side of Unohana. He notices that some other girl members are grinning widely, blush forming to their cheeks. Well, except of Karin who's still looked like a dead fish. A beautiful dead fish.

"Okay, kids. It's time to know the characters that you will perform." Unohana smiled, clapping her has twice. She gets a two medium size fish bowl that has many strips of paper inside. One has pink strip of papers and the other one has blue, which indicates the gender of the characters. "These are the names of the characters of the play, each one of you will get one strip of paper and whoever character you get is the one who you will be portraying…" she explained while passing the blue coloured fish bowl to Toushiro and the pink one to Karin. "No peeking until I said so and no exchanging of characters. Good luck!" she added, smiling gently to her students.

Toushiro picked up a piece of paper as well as Karin to the other side and passes the fish bowl to the person next to them. The action continues as it reached to the last person in the row.

"Great, everyone has their strip of papers now?" Unohana asked, claiming the fish bowl to both sides.

Everyone nodded.

"Now let's have the roll call of the characters. You can now look at your strip papers." She said.

Everyone followed and looked at their strip papers. Many of the students gasp, some of them cheered and some of the groaned. When Karin saw her character her eyes widened, much bigger this time. "No…" she whispered.

"Why Karin-chan?" Yuzu asked, arching a brow to her sister.

"No telling of characters with one another please." Unohana smiled.

"Nothing…" Karin mumbles to her twin. When she looked at Toushiro to the corners of her eyes, he is frowning. "Maybe he gets the worst character" she thought.

"Okay everyone, as I call the characters that you have picked, stand up and state your name so I can record it to avoid exchanging of characters." Unohana said as she gets a piece of paper and begins to write. "Well, let's start from the minor characters first down to the major…" She smiled and continues. "Fulgencio Capulet…"

"Me." The boy with glasses said. "My name is Sakurai Hide."

The roll call goes on until it reached the semi-major characters. "…The nurse"

"It's me!" Yuzu chirped as she stands up. "My name is Kurosaki Yuzu."

"So Yuzu-chan it is." Unohana smiled. "And the long wait is finally here, who's Juliet?" she asked.

"Me, My name is Kurosaki Karin." Karin stated dead pans.

"Ooh, so it's our lovely Karin-chan." Unohana praised the younger girl. "Congratulations dear."

"Thank you." Karin twitched as she sits down.

"So, who's our lucky Romeo?" Unohana asked again, smiling widely.

"It's me."

All heads twist slightly to look up where the voice is coming.

"I'm Romeo, and the name's Hitsugaya Toushiro."

X.X

"Ooh Karin-chan, I'm so happy for you!" Yuzu squealed as she hugs her sister.

"Yuzu, get off. I can't breathe." She said, pushing her sister away from her.

"Sorry." Yuzu let go of her sister and looked to Rukia. "So Rukia, whose character did you get?" She asked.

"Caroline Montague" Rukia answered as they go out of the auditorium for their lunch.

"I'm starving, come on!" Karin moaned.

Yuzu glance back at the auditorium and she saw Toushiro walking towards them. She grinned and pulls Rukia's arms. "Ano, Karin-chan… I think Rukia and I can't join you for lunch."

"Why?" Karin arches a brow.

"Yeah, why?" Rukia also asked.

Yuzu immediately hardened the grip on Rukia's arms, glaring at her. The message was clear "she has a plan."

"Oh, right! I forgot." Rukia laugh idiotically. "Yuzu and I need to go to the tutoring club. There are some lessons that we can't understand so we asked their help."

"I can help you, if you want to." Karin says.

"No!" Yuzu shrieked. "We are with Kaien and Jinta, right Rukia?"

"You're dating Jinta now?!"Karin asked with astonishment.

"Yes – I mean no." Yuzu fidgeted. "It's not a sort of a date, it's a review. So we need to go, Bye!" she said as she drag the Kuchiki girl away.

"So tell me, what's that?" Rukia whispered.

"Playing matchmaker." The golden brown Kurosaki grinned.

X.X

Karin sighs; looking to her twin and her best friend walking away. She was extremely hungry so she decided to go to the school's cafeteria without hesitation but before she can walk away someone calls her name.

"Hey." The voice said.

She turns around and she saw Hitsugaya Toushiro in front of her, smirking. She quickly turns around again to avoid him but she was halted by a firm grip in her arms.

"No more running." He says.

Karin looked at him and said. "What do you want?"

"You're avoiding me. Aren't you?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Yes."

He sighs. "Look at me in the eyes, and tell me that you're not lying."

Karin looked directly in his eyes and her mind stop thinking. He has a pair of bright teal eyes that can capture everyone's soul when you looked at them. They stared at each other for a while, eyes locked.

Toushiro just stares at the beautiful grey orbs that he always loved, waiting for her answer.

Silence.

Breaking the silence he spoke. "See? You can't even talk." He said smirking, letting go of her arms but not breaking the eye contact.

"I – ahmm." Karin mumbles. Her hands are trembling, heat arising to her cheeks. She was about to speak but her tummy growls. In much embarrassment, she closed her eyes hoping that the white haired guy in front of her didn't hear.

Toushiro smiled, eventually causing a laugh to bubble out of him.

Karin opens her eyes because she was about to retort but she was stopped of what she saw. He was smiling genuinely at her. Karin was dumbfounded. "He looks really nice when he smiles." She said to herself. Her thoughts were cut off when she heard him speak.

"Wanna go grab some lunch?"

X.X

When Karin and Toushiro arrived at the school's cafeteria, they instantly get everyone's attention. Girls are squealing when they looked at Toushiro and glared to Karin. Karin also gets some attention to some boys in the cafeteria. They winked at her and gain an icy glare from Toushiro who send chills to their spine.

"Ooh my, Hitsugaya-sama is so cute!" one of the girls squealed.

"He's mine Aya! Back off." The other one said.

"Who's she?"

"She's not even pretty."

"What happened to Hinamori-sama?"

"Who's Hinamori?" Karin thinks, feeling irritated she grit her teeth and yelled. "Will you shut the fuck up?!"

The girls shoot their glares to her.

"Karin." Toushiro said as he placed his hands in the fuming girl's shoulder.

"Since when you become popular?" She asked him while looking for some vacant chairs.

"Since the day I was born." He chuckled.

"Then, why didn't I know you in the first place?"

"Because I'm too busy to look for your brain." He joked.

Karin just glared at him, ignoring the girls who still shoot death glares to her. When she finds a vacant sit, she immediately walks to it before someone else could.

"Hey where are you going?" Hitsugaya asked following her trail.

"Getting us some chairs, idiot." She replied.

"You don't have to, I have a reserved chair for us." He said.

Karin stopped in her tracks, looking at the white haired boy with curiosity. "You're planning this, aren't you?" she asked.

"No, I'm not. It's part of being popular. "He smirked, grabbing her hand and lead her out to the other side of the cafeteria, where there is a mini botanical garden. There's a table and chair that's good for eight.

"How did you reserve this?" She asked arching a brow as she sits to her chair.

"I told you, it's part of being popular. I want this part because it's not crowded and it's refreshing." He answered, sitting beside her. "…and the soccer team also wants this."

"You play soccer?" Karin's jaw dropped.

"Yes, I'm the captain of our school's soccer team." Toushiro deadpans.

"You've gotta be kidding me! First, you're popular and now you're the team captain of our school's soccer team! Is there are more about you that I didn't know? " Karin asked.

"I like you." Toushiro said softly, barely audible.

"What?" she asked again.

"You didn't hear?" He asked her, arching a brow.

Karin shook her head.

He sighs then took a deep breath. "Karin I –" Toushiro closed his eyes, still confused if he's going to tell her or not.

Karin just looked at him intently, waiting for his reply.

"…I mean, let's go get some food." He installed while standing up and goes back to the cafeteria.

X.X

Karin doesn't talk a lot during lunch, preferring to gaze in the plants that surround them, her cheek resting on the palm of her hand. As if she's waiting for something.

Toushiro looked at her and sigh. "It's not yet the right time to tell her." He thought as he digs up to his lunch.

"I need to go." His companion says, as she stands up.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"I need to look for my sister." Karin said, lying. She just wanted to go somewhere, to stay away from him.

"You have a sister?"

"Yeah, I have a twin sister." She replied, getting her things up and preparing to leave.

"There is another you?" he asked again.

"Yes." She smiled. "I'm not Karin, I'm her twin." Karin says.

Toushiro looked at her dumbfounded.

"Bye." Karin waved her goodbye and walked out.

X.X

Karin doesn't understand herself why she lied to Toushiro, telling him that she has a twin not Yuzu, but another. Sighing, she looked around the cafeteria there are only few persons left which is the sign that lunch will be over soon. It still bothers her, their conversation earlier. She hears it; she wasn't just sure about it. His voice is barely audible when he says it but it gives butterflies to her stomach.

I like you.

Karin shook her head and goes back to her class, heart pounding hard.

X.X

Toushiro goes back to his class room after he finished his lunch, there sensei isn't there when he arrived.

"Komamura sensei is late again, come on let's cut class." Hyourinmaru said.

"No cutting classes, the old geezer says. Where are the others?" Toushiro rolled his eyes as he sits beside the teal haired man.

"You're no fun." He pouted. "They're gone. Renji says that they're going to Ikkaku's house for a drinking session. Anyway, who's the girl in the cafeteria?" He asked, grinning.

"Who's girl?" He asked, playing dumb.

"The one you're with during lunch, idiot."

"She's Karin." Toushiro replied, closing his eyes.

"Ooh, the girl in the mini garden huh, she's hot man!" Hyourinmaru snickered.

Toushiro's eyes snapped open. "Watch your words to her." He says dangerously, glaring at his best friend like there's no tomorrow.

"Woah! Chill bro, I'm just kidding." Hyourinmaru gulp. "But really she's hot." He added.

Toushiro didn't reply. He knows that Hyourinmaru is just fooling around. He was his best friend after all. They've met when he is five, when he moved to his step father, Ukitake Juushiro. At first, they don't like each other but they've become close after they fight the school's bullies during elementary.

"Umm, Hitsugaya-kun?"

"What?" Toushiro says as he looked at the blushing girl standing next to him.

"Ano… will you go out with me?" she blurted out.

Toushiro sigh. Since he entered high school, the number of girls he rejected gotten bigger.

"I'm busy." He said, still thinking words to explain her that he doesn't want to date without hurting her feelings. "We need to practice soccer intently so I have no time for dating." He continued.

"Please, Hitsugaya-kun!" The girl pleaded, tears forming to her eyes.

"No."

The girl's eyes widened, tears falling freely to her cheeks. "Ok" she sobs, looking at different direction and walks away.

Toushiro's eyes soften as he watches the crying girl goes to her friends. They are patting her back for comfort.

"It's rejection 132." Hyourinmaru said. "Dude, the girl's pretty."

"Then, why don't you date her?" Toushiro smirked.

"I'd love to." Hyourinmaru smiles smugly.

"Don't let Tobiume hears that, she's a war freak you know. No one knows what will happen to that girl if she knows that you want to date someone else." Toushiro muttered.

"Tobiume and I are just playing around, and you know that."

"You still love her, don't you?" Toushiro asked.

"Yes, I've always love her." Hyourinamaru admitted.

"Why don't you tell Mizu?"

"She doesn't like me. She says that I'm a jock, scary and delinquent."

"She's telling the truth bro!" Toushiro smirked.

"Hey!"Hyourinmaru chuckled. "I'm still avoiding her you know."

"Avoiding her and dating other girls won't stop your problem."Toushiro stated.

"Then, what the hell should I do? Confess to her again? And get rejected again?" Hyourinmaru asked, rolling his eyes.

"Do I need to answer that?" Toushiro deadpans. "Of course you need to do that again. You love her and we both know that!"

"Would you…help me?" Hyourinmaru asked.

Toushiro smirked and said, "What are best friends are for?"

Hyourinmaru was about to talked when he saw someone entered their class room.

"Good Afternoon class, I'll be the substitute teacher for Komamura sensei…"

Toushiro looked at the guy in front their class. He was a mild-featured man with brown scholarly hair enhanced by square glasses.

"My name is Aizen Sousuke. I'll be your math teacher for a while."

Toushiro has a bad feeling towards their new sensei. He didn't like him. He looked at Hyourinmaru said, "I don't like him."

"Me too." Hyourinmaru replied in a serious tone.

"So everyone, get your text books now and we're about to start." Aizen scan the whole room and stopped at the two boys sitting on the last row. A white haired boy and teal green haired boy are glaring at him.

"This is going to be fun." He thought and starts discussing.

"Karin, where are you going?" Yuzu asked her twin as she goes out of their classroom.

"Home."

"No you can't?" Yuzu said as she shook her head

"But why? Yuzu the classes are over."

"Drama club has an extra practice every day after class, Karin-chan." Yuzu pouted as she grabs her sister's hand.

"Okay." Karin sighs; allowing her sister to drags her at the auditorium.

When they arrived at the auditorium, the other members are already there as well as Unohana-sensei.

"Ne, ne. Hitsugaya-kun isn't here." Unohana slightly pouts. "Will someone gets him for me?" she asked.

Almost all of the girls in the club raise their hand except Karin, Yuzu and Rukia. But before Unohana can choose, Yuzu chirped in.

"Karin-chan will!" she says, pointing to her twin sister.

"Ooh, that's good." Unohana claps her hand twice. "Karin-chan could you get Hitsugaya-kun for me?" she smiles at her gently.

"But –"Karin hesitates but finally gives in. "Okay."

X.X

Karin sprinted towards the class D's room but she suddenly bump into someone and falls backward.

"Watch where you're going!" Karin yelled as she looked up. Her eyes widened when she saw that the one who bumped her was not a student but a teacher.

The teacher just smiled at her and helped her to get up.

Regaining her composure, Karin apologizes. "Sorry Mr…"

"Aizen Sousuke. " he answered, still smiling at her.

"Yeah right, I'm sorry Sousuke-sensei." Karin said, as she bowed her head slightly.

"It's okay, are you hurt?" He asked.

"No I'm not." Karin smiled at him.

"Well then, I need to go." Aizen said as he walks to the other direction. "See you around."

Karin nodded and turned around to go to the class D's room. Before she could walk away Aizen called her again.

"Hey kid, what's your name?" He asked.

"Karin… my name's Karin Kurosaki." Karin smiled at him.

"Ooh, okay. See you around Karin-chan." Aizen said and waved his goodbye.

X.X

When Karin arrived at the class D's room, there are only few people left. She scans around and she saw Toushiro talking to a teal green haired man.

"Hey." She called out, gaining everyone's attention in the room.

Toushiro tilts his head and he saw Karin standing in the door frame. "Hey" He smirked, grabbing his bag and went straight to her, Hyourinmaru following him on his back.

"Umm, Unohana sensei wants me to get you. We have an extra practice every day after class." Karin says.

"Ooh, okay." Toushiro said.

"Ahem" Hyourinmaru cough.

Karin looked at the teal green haired man and arches a brow.

"Umm Karin, this is my best friend. His name is Hyourinmaru." Toushiro said as he points the tall boy beside him.

"Oh, hello. I'm Karin. Toushiro's club mate. "Karin introduces herself and smiled.

Hyourinmaru felt his cheeks heats up as he looked at the girl smiling in front of him.

"I – I"Hyourinmaru stuttered. He looks at Toushiro and he was glaring at him. He gulps and grinned. "Well, nice meeting to meet you Karin-chan. " He smiled at her and looked again to Toushiro and says. "Bro, I need to go. You know, tutoring."

Toushiro nodded.

"See you around." Hyourinmaru grinned and winks to Toushiro, turning around, he starts walking to the other direction while waving his right hand in the air.

"He's nice." Karin commented as she looks at Toushiro.

"Yeah, he is." Toushiro smirked.

"Come on, Unohana-sensei is waiting for us." Karin said as she walks back to the auditorium.

"Hey wait!" Toushiro muttered.

Karin stopped and arches a brow to him. "Why?" she asked slightly irritated.

Toushiro knelt down to her and touched her knee.

"Wha- What are you doing?" Karin stuttered, face burning up. "You- You dog! You're a perverted asshole!" she shrieked, kicking his face fair and square.

Toushiro stumbled backwards. "Hey! Why the hell did you do that?!" He yelled, glaring to her.

"You- you want to sneak under my skirt! You scumbag!" Karin yelled. Her face was totally red because of embarrassment.

Toushiro stands up. "What the hell! Why would I do that?!" He yelled again while wiping the blood on his nose. "I'm just looking at your knee, it has a bruise. Did you fell down or something?" His voice softens, turning his scrawling face to a concern one.

"I bumped into someone...sousuke-sensei." Karin says softly. "I'm sorry if I kicked you. " She closed her eyes.

"Is your hobby is to bump someone?" Toushiro sigh, he suddenly felt bad again. He really doesn't like his new math teacher. "And, I still don't forgive you…"

"What?" Karin arches a brow to him folding her arms to her chest.

"You need to do something, so I can forgive you." Toushiro smirked.

"What was that?" she asked.

"Go out on a date with me."


AN: So here it is. The chapter 3 of first love! I really think that Hyourinmaru also needs a love life so watch out for it.

Reviews are really loved. Thank you.
