Author's Note: Let me clear something up before you read. This is information you need to know before you start asking me questions.

The Sakura Clan:

A clan that has been around longer than Yamamato-soutaicho been alive. They were form for the protection of a valuable object. The object was a unnamed pink crystal that was said to contain immense power. The Sakura clan is nothing but, assassins and ninjas. They're stronger than almost all shinigami because of their blood,bloodlines,skills,weapons,and immense strength. They too carry za-panktous and are sometimes shinigamis. Mostly captains. They always have a female leader and needs to change every century or more. This year they chose Karin.

Fumiko Sakura: A girl who is hot headed but very powerful. She has great upper body strength and is great in hand to hand combat. She was the one to seek out Karin for the deal of being their leader. She teaches Karin on using her reiatsu to make powerful punches and balance.

Chie Sakura: Smart with great lower body strength. She assist Fumiko on the search for Karin. She soon teaches Karin on using her reiatsu to make powerful kicks and also teaches her planning and strategy.

Hinagiku Sakura: Acts very childish but is a great medical assassin. She teaches Karin on medical abilities,kido,and her elemental power.

Haruko Sakura: Smart and pretty. She teaches Karin on her za-panktou,assassin skills,ninja skills, speed, reiatsu control,sensing abilities,and flexibility. Very much more control than her sisters.(Fumiko, Chie, and Hinagiku.)

That should cover everything. Okay lets begin.

Chapter 3

A shadow creped through the open window in Shibantai. His haori blowing along the curtains as he stares at the angel resting her head on her pillow, asleep. The shadow walks closer to the angel getting down on the floor to get a better look of her face. She was absolutely beautiful. The way her face lit up in the moonlight, her hair glimmering in the moonlight,and her soft pink lips. Everything about her was absolutely beautiful.

"Too bad someone else has you." He glances at his left ring finger. Looking at the gold ring that was placed on it. He made a commitment to Hinamori to love her through the good and bad times. He married her. The point was,was it the right choice. Yes, he loved Hinamori but, Karin also has his heart.

"I'd always wonder what you were up to these nine months. Now I know." Toushirou glances over to Karin again smiling softly but, that smile slowly turned to a frown. Karin was now with someone else that wasn't him. The two have children together. A dream he wanted to share with Karin. Yet, he chose Hinamori.

"I guess we both have somebody now. Someone who could make us happy but, I wonder if I could've ever make you happy. To ever make you smile like your lover can. Give you children the way he can. I wonder..." He faced Karin. He got up and lean over her,grabbing her hand as he lean his face closer to hers.

"I wonder..." He inches closer to her face as he squeezes her hand.

"I wonder..."

'If I could ever love you the way he do' He captures her lips as he squeezes her hand.

'Karin...goodbye.' He breaks apart from her. Leaving her lips and leaving her hand as he places something in the hand he wish he could squeeze again. He makes his way over to window without taking one good glance of her. He leaves unaware that he had an audience.

Matsumoto witnessed everything. The way he looked at her, talk to her, and kiss her. It was absolutely adorable. She was also curious as to what he left in her hand. She would have to find out later.

Karin woke up to the smell of steamed eggs and rice. She turned her head the other way,letting her hair fall on her face. Her eyes widen when she felt something in the palm of her hand. She sat up and looked in her hand to see a silver bracelet with a charm that read 'T & K'. She smiled as she applied the gift on her arm.

"Onee-chan. Are you okay." Yuzu asked as she opened the door.

"Yeah...Where is Torin and Kishiro?" Her sister smiled.

"I knew you would ask! Here they are, in their new outfits." Yuzu signaled for Rukia and Ichigo to bring in the twins. They were adorable in their white and black outfits. They handed the babies to their mother.

"Have they been fed?" Karin asked looking at her children.

"Yes they have but, I'll tell you,making the formula for them was easier said than done." Ichigo sighed as he remembered the trouble he was put through to make two bottles for his niece and nephew.

"You did use the liquid formula,right?" Karin eyed her brother knowing he probably mixed the two formulas up.

"Uh...that's the one in the can right?" Ichigo broke a sweat afraid what would happen to him if he used the wrong one. Karin sighed at her brother's idiocy.

"Yes,it is."

"Thank goodness."

Knock! Knock!

"Come in." The door open to see Unohana taicho and two girls behind her.

"You have a visitor Ms.Kurosaki." She stepped aside to let the girls in.

"Who are you?"Karin eyed the two girls. The girls had unique features like white hair and pink eyes. They had a pink cherry blossom on their right arm. Not to mention they were in army-like uniforms.

"We are here to negotiate a deal with you."

"What type of deal?"

"Well let us explain who we are. I'm Fumiko Sakura of the Sakura Clan and ahead of the Army and Punishment Force. The Sakura Clan is a ancient clan that been here longer than shinigamis existed. We are assassins and ninjas with special abilities that most don't have. You could say we're special in a way. My partner is my sister Chie Sakura and is in charge of the Security and Protection Squad. We are here today to find someone to be our leader. That person must have power stronger than us and we sense that in you Kurosaki Karin." Fumiko looked up,pink piercing onyx.

"So...you mean to tell me you want me to be the leader of the Sakura Clan." Fumiko and Chie nodded their heads.

"What do I get from it except power and skills?"

"Protection for your family and children." Fumiko smiled at the twins in Karin's arms.

"Technically anything. We are a free-rule clan when it comes to family,children,and fun."

"Not to mention you don't have to worry about training your children! You could still train them but, let's just say you guys will be spending the same amount of time together if you didn't take the offer." Chie said. Karin starred at the two girls.

"I say go with it." Ichigo said to his sister.

"Yeah onee-chan!"" Yuzu looked at Rukia who just nodded her head in approval.

"If my family thinks so then...I guess...I'll accept the offer." Everyone smiled. Chie pulled out a scroll from her waist bag and unrolled it.

"All we need you to do is sign with your blood." Chie handed the scroll to Karin. Karin bit her thumb and placed the bloody finger on the fine print.

"It's settled. We have our new leader." Fumiko smiled a toothy grin.

"When do I start my training." Karin asked.

"A year from now. You don't want to miss your babies' firsts do you." Karin giggled at Chie's comment. From here on out she would be labeled as Kurosaki Karin leader of the Sakura Clan.


December 25th Christmas In Soul Society

Hinamori didn't know what was wrong with her husband lately. He's been disappearing now a days and seems to be avoiding her.

"I hope I didn't do something wrong." She whispered to herself. She looked up to here silvered haired husband underneath a Sakura tree looking at something. The bad thing was he was smiling. To get a better look at what he was staring at she walked up the hill he resided at. She was close enough to see what he was looking at and did not like it one bit. Here was her husband,on a snowy hill, looking and smiling at another woman. She didn't know who this woman was but, she was going to find out sooner or later.

"Toushirou Hitsugaya!" Toushirou turned his head ans stared at the petite girl he called his wife.

"Yes." He said flatly eyes still on her. It shocked Hinamori. It seems as if he didn't care if he was hurting her feelings.

"Why are you staring at another woman!"

"What woman. I don't see a woman." Hinamori looked over him again to indeed see no woman.

"But,but,but-"

"Be honest. I'll never cheat on you." He walked up and hugged her. That brought a smile to her lips as she hugged back. Toushirou turned his head to direction of the black haired woman with her children.

"Karin..." He mumbled under his breath.

"What was that?" Hinamori looked up at her husband.

"I said I love you." He smiled at her.

"I love you too."

He knew Kurosaki Ichigo would become a captain so,that's why he didn't act surprise about the news when he became one.

"Our allies of the Sakura Clan is sending their leader here to negotiate a deal."

"What is the deal about?" Ukitake asked.

"They will be training you from here on out." Eyes widen at news. Everyone knew the Sakuras had severe training methods.

"When will the leader be here?" Yamamato turned his gaze to Soifon. The door open to revealed one of the guards.

"Sir,the leader is present. We will send her up now." the door closed again and Yamamato turned his gaze back to everyone.

"Divisions 5th and 10th -" Toushirou and Ichigo raised their heads to hear the news he was about to give them.

"The leader is also bringing your new 3rd seat officers with her. This would be a great time to meet them.' Toushirou and Ichigo both nodded their heads. The door opened once again.

"Sir we present you,the leader of the Sakura Clan." The guard stepped aside to let the leader and the new 3rd seated officers in. The leader wore a black army suit underneath her red robe. Cherry blossoms were scattered across the end of the robe. On the back it read in Japanese letters: 8th Sakura Blossom. She also wore a red and black headband arcoss her forehead.

"Welcome. It is a honor to meet you. Would you be so kind to state your name." Yamamato stared at the woman.

"My name is.." She brushed her bangs out from in front of her eyes. "Kurosaki Karin." Everyone eyes widen except for Ichigo, Natsumi, and Chie.

"Congratulations on your position." in a instant two figures appeared from behind Karin. Both had silver hair and sea-green eyes.

"Who are you?"

"We are the new 3rd seat officers of 5th and 10th division."

I'm Kurosaki Torin-" her brother began to speak"and I'm Kurosaki Kishiro." Both bowed down.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Yamamato-soutaicho." The rest didn't know how long their eyes were wide but, they knew Toushirou and Hinamori were the most shocked.
