~Chapter 4 ~

Torshiro was getting dressed in his normal clothes and walked of the room to see Karin waiting for him on the couch. She was petting Hyorinmaru when he came out. Of his room.

"You ready to go?" He asked Karin got up and nodded. He lead her out of the apartment locking it behind them they walked out of the build and to his car. Going to the mall. They arrived at the mall. Karin had been there before for a party, that her pimp had made her go to. As they walked into the mall Karin started to become uncomfortable and got closer to Torshiro. He remained calmed as he saw her tense up. They walked into a female store. "Go ahead and pick out some clothes" he invited her. She went to a couple different racks picking out clothes. After picking all the clothes and pajamas Karin went back to Torshiro who payed for everything. They next went to a another female store that mainly sold loundra. Karin picked out a few bras and underwear and Torshiro bought them for her. As they were heading out of the Matsumoto came in.

"Karin! It's been a few days how are things going? What did you get?" She asked jumping at the young girl and putting her arm around her shoulder.

"Hi, we were just finishing shopping, Torshiro bought me some clothes" Karin answered. Matsumoto looked through the bags Karin had before grabbing her arm and dragging her away.

"That's not enough clothes, let's get some more" she shouted. Torshiro sighed as he followed them to the store they went to. Torshiro sat down in a chair outside the dressing rooms waiting for Matsumoto and Karin. Matsumoto made Karin try on a few of the clothes and had her step out, so Torshiro could see. "So what do you think Hitsugaya?" Matsumoto asked. Sighing he reluctantly answered,

"I think we are going to get arrested for making a 17 year old girl get dressed and change" he said. She patted him on the back,

"Relax we aren't doing anything bad. Karin are we making you do this? Or are you enjoying being out liked this?" Matsumoto asked as Karin came out of the dressing room where one of the clothes she was asked to try on. Karin smiled and shook her head,

"No this, is actually fun for me. I haven't been able to be out in public during the day in a long time! Plus I get to wear clothes I want and I don't have to wear clothes that aren't revealing." She answered cheerfully. Before going back into the changing room to change into one of the clothes she had already paid for.

"See she's having fun let her have fun, we don't know when she will fall into her slug again" Matsumoto told him. Torshiro smiled acknowledging that she was right.

"You're right" he admitted. They talked a little bit longer, but as Karin came out of the dressing room the lights went off. Torshiro got up,

"Karin!" he called out to her.

"I'm here" she called back. Matsumoto and Torshiro both went over to her grabbing her hands.

"Stay closes" he instructed taking out a mini flashlight that he had in his pocket. As Toshiro leaded them out of the building he could hear gunshots begging fired. He shoved Karin and Matsumoto in front of him and took out his gun he had strapped to his waist. Matsumoto leaded Karin out of the mall the rest of the way out. She had to get Karin away from the building before the police came and interviewed everyone around. She was able to drag Karin to a cafe across the street. They sat down in the window and watched as the police arrived. Torshiro came out and started to talk with the arriving officers.

"What is going on?" Karin asked.

"I assume they were trying to kill you. You are the rat of the trafficking ring. They want you dead so you don't go to court. Luckily for you that Captain Hitsugaya has taken a liking to you and is helping you."

"Why is that?" She asked.

"That I don't know, Hitsugaya is a prodigy maybe he sees a strong survivor in you than a weak ones. Your the strongest Allie that we have" she told the younger girl. Karin was about to ask something else's but Matsumoto phone went off.

"Hello captain" she answered it Karin couldn't hear what he responded.

"We are at the cafe across the street. Yes we are both fine. We got away before the police showed up" Matsumoto answered. It only a took a few minutes before Torshiro walked in and sat down next to Karin. "How did it go?" Matsumoto asked.

"They were wondering why I was at the mall on my day off" Torshiro answered. This made Matsumoto laugh.

"Wow, even they think you don't have fun and just stay home" she laughed making Karin confused. Torshiro waved a server over and asked for drinks. He looked through the menu and ordered for himself and Karin. Matsumoto ordered for herself,

"I don't understand" Karin Interrupted their conversation. " Why did the lights go off? Why where there gunshots?"

"Karin, they are trying to kill you, so that you don't take the stand" Torshiro told her. Karin was still confused, but the food came she blew off the conversation knowing that she would just get the same answer as last time and quietly ate her food as Torshiro and Matsumoto talked about the situation and than traveled to other cases they were working on.

"Ichigo comes tomorrow morning and or late tonight." Matsumoto reminded Torshiro.

"Yeah, he's going to give me a headache he didn't even tell me why he was coming." Torshiro watched as Karin reaction to Ichigo's name. Matsumoto noticed it too and began to worry about the girl. They were getting closer to who her family was.
