Seven people were standing in the air fighting as if they were on ground. Though I couldn't really see them very well I could tell that two of those people were Rangiku-san and Toushiro.
Toushiro POV
'Damn it, if I could get just one hit' I thought as I was blocking the many shots that were being thrown at me by the one named Luppi.
I had been trying to find a weakness, a loophole and I finally did. After swinging at me he failed to realize how vulnerable he was thus giving me a chance to counter attack.
The moment he swung at me I ducked and stabbed my sword toward his abdomen pushing it through his stomach and out of his back.
As he sat there in mid-air stunned I pulled my sword out and kicked him towards the ground. The last words I heard from him was "son of a bitch", He dissipated before having a chance to hit the ground. I looked around to see if any of the others needed help that's when I spotted Karin.
Standing, mouth open and staring straight at me. I was getting ready to go to her when I heard something opening I turned to see what it was. The Arrancar were trying to retreat, I quickly looked to where the others were and said, "Don't let them get away!"
We tried to stop them, but in the end, they escaped. I sighed and sheathed my sword then looked back to where Karin was; she was still standing there but now looked much more composed.
"Taicho"
"What is it Matsumoto?"
"Should I contact soul society?"
"Ah and make sure you tell them that we didn't find out their objective"
"Hai, what about Karin-Chan?"
"Don't worry I'll take care of that, meet me back at Orihime's".
I watched as Matsumoto and the others left before drifting down to the ground and getting back in my gigai. Calmly I walked over to Karin; she was staring at me as if I was some show freak standing in the middle of a large crowd. It bothered me a lot and made me want to ask her why she was looking at me like that, but I just shrugged it off and instead asked, "What are you doing here?"
I was waiting for her answer, but it didn't come, It seemed like she was in deep thought and didn't hear me so I opened my mouth to ask again when she suddenly spoke up "I was worried when I woke up and wondered why I was in my room I wanted to know what had happened so I came back here…".
Worried? About what? Me? I looked at her strangely my mind tugged at me to ask her what she meant but I knew she most likely wouldn't answer me. I started to walk away.
Karin POV
I stood there staring at him while he walked towards me I wondered how he was able to walk on air. When he finished covering the distance between us the first thing he said was "What are you doing here?" I thought about what to say I didn't want him to know I was worried about him. "I was worried when I woke up and wondered why I was in my room I wanted to know what had happened so I came back here…" I didn't really know what to say so I kinda trailed off abit at the end. He started looking at me strangely and I wondered if I had given myself away.
Then all of a sudden he walked away. "Toushiro wait what happened to me?"
He turned around and looked at me "You passed out after you felt the reiatsu the Arrancar were giving off I had Matsumoto take you home."
"Oh" I didn't really know what to say so I said the first thing that came to mind. "So what's gona happen now?"
"Nothing that concerns you."
I clenched my fists "So what am I supposed to do, just stand here and not do anything while those things attack people!"
"You don't need to worry about it is all I'm saying that's why I'm here, to take care of things like this." I couldn't really argue with him I knew he was right besides what help would I be?
I didn't have a zanpaktou or shinigami powers there was no way I'd be able to fight something like that. It made me feel useless that I was too weak to help anyone. Slowly I unclenched my fist and let them hang at my sides.
"Come on" I looked at him with a puzzled face. 'Did he say something while I was thinking?' "Come on" he started walking away again "What do you mean?" he sighed, "I'm walking you home"
"Oh, why" his eye started twitching.
"Does it really matter why?"
I thought about it "Not really"
"Then don't ask" He turned back around. That made me abit upset but I didn't say anything instead I just started to walk after him.
We were walking in an awkward silence, which was making me feel uncomfortable. Every time I tried to start a conversation he would give me short reply's that didn't really give me room to respond.
So I kept quiet after awhile just watching the sky as we walked on. It was the afternoon and with the sun sinking it threw a glow over everything mixing different hues of colors as if someone was painting a picture. "Toushiro?"
"What?"
"You're stayin at Orihime's place right?"
"Yeah" "Why don't you come over to my place then, I mean Ichi-nii told me she makes really weird stuff for dinner, so why don't you come eat at my place?"
"You're inviting me over for dinner?" He raised an eyebrow as he looked at me. I turned my head trying to hide the blush that was creeping up my face "You don't have to come you know, it's not like I'm gona be upset if you don't."
"I never said I wasn't going to."
"So are you stayin or not we're almost there."
"I guess I'll stay then your food can't be any worse than Orihime's."
"Was that an insult?" He shrugged his shoulders. We rounded a corner; I could see my house we weren't that far away. Suddenly I thought about what my dad would say once he saw me and Toushiro.
I just hoped he wouldn't do anything stupid and embarrass me. 'I wonder what Ichi-nii would say if he saw me and Toushiro together.'
Sorry it took me so long to update I've had a lot going on I just typed this up so I hope it's alright. By the way, this chapter isn't finished yet I just wanted to put at least a little bit up there.
