Catch Me I'm Fallin'

(Um before you start reading this, I'd like to warn you that my story or bridge, ok what ever it's called will start here. Meaning there is a shift in mood and everything that's going on. So just to warn you, the happy out of character thing will either end or begin here judging from how you read it. Ok sorry just warning you please continue to read. )

Steam blew out from Karin's head as she stood watching Hinamori glomp Hitsugaya.

There really is another girl.

She thought.

Hinamori continued to hug Hitsugaya until he could barely even breathe. "Shiro-chan! Eh? What's wrong? Aren't you glad to see me again?" she asked innocently.

Then the red haired man spoke, "Hinamori, he can't breathe," Hinamori quickly released Hitsugaya sweat dropping and apologizing.

"Ah, gomen gomen. Hee hee."

Hitsugaya gasped for air, his heart was pounding, and he felt like he was going to die.

"Hi … Hinamori?" Hitsugaya was stunned for he did not expect her to come out of nowhere. Then suddenly a thought crossed his mind. His thoughts broke when he suddenly felt a very high and uncontrollable reiatsu skyrocket around them. He turned his gaze towards Karin and saw how furious she was. Then it clicked to him that he was about to assure her that there was no other girl and that she was just paranoid when he finally realized the predicament he was in.

There he stood before Karin, his arms slightly touching Hinamori for he previously was trying to pry her off him. His mind raced as he tried to come up with words to tell her that this was just a coincidence. She beat him to it.

"I see how it is. This was a set up. You knew I was gonna go look for you and once I came you would, you would, grrrrr..." she growled in anger. With every word she spoke, the more her reiatsu burst out into the atmosphere.

Karin was about to lash out on them but resisted. Slowly Karin decreased the flow of her reiatsu instead of using it on them. Hitsugaya stared at her confusingly just as Hinamori and her companion stared on with confusion.

Once her reiatsu was finally back to normal she glared at Hitsugaya and Hinamori before turning around and walking away without another word.

She was furious, even she herself knew it. The wind passed by on the roof leaving the three shinigami in confusion until Hinamori spoke, "Shiro-chan," she began, "Are you okay? Who was that? Was she trying to hurt you?"

Hitsugaya shook his head no and only told them that she was Ichigo's sister and that she was only angry right now. Then it finally struck him, "Hinamori, why are you here?" he asked not looking away from the spot Karin once occupied.

"Oh, about that, well you see once you go back to Soul Society tonight; I'll be here to protect Karakura taking your duty. Abarai-san and I are now stationed here for the next two months."

Hitsugaya then turned to Renji who had some sort of look of shock. He knew exactly what Renji was thinking. The wicked powerful reiatsu exploding from a young teenage girl was surprisingly Ichigo's sister, Karin. This is getting even harder for him. Now that Karin released her reiatsu there is no doubt that, she would use it against him, or Hinamori to be specific. He only had a few hours left before departing to Soul Society. He knew for a fact that there wasn't enough time to explain everything to her.

Hitsugaya released a very deep and stressed breath as he finally came to a conclusion.

I'm just going to have the bend the rules a little bit and fix all of this.

He was going to break the rules and he was very aware that once he does go back to Soul Society – if he can ever get back there with everything right again, he'll be in very, very, very deep shit.

Karin ran her way to Karakura Park and sat on one of the swings. Thoughts filled her mind as she drew in a small breath then released it calmly. She looked up and watched the stars shine beautifully across the dark sky. Her heart pounded as scenes of Hitsugaya and Hinamori together replayed in her mind. She shook her head to forget about it.

No, he would never leave me for someone else. That's it. I'm just paranoid. I over reacted. He still loves me. Yeah! That's it! I'm just a little stressed out right now so my mind is just playing tricks on me. But still. What am I going to do now? He might not even want to talk to me again after that stunt I just pulled with my reiatsu.

Karin sighed as she thought about how to go back to Hitsugaya and apologize to him.

Maybe I'll say sorry and then if he isn't convinced, I'll spend the whole day with him tomorrow and give him what he deserves. Yeah! That'll work. I hope.

Karin smiled at the thought of Hitsugaya and stood up to go walk back home. As she walked home she passed by a certain road. She stopped and turned to her right as she stared breathlessly at the open area. Before her was the most beautiful view of the sky she's ever seen.

She took small and slow steps as she walked towards the guardrail. Karin reached her hand out to lean on the rail. Right when her hand made contact with the guardrail, she froze on the spot. Everything went white as piece by piece she saw images of her and Hitsugaya. She shook her head.

It was weird. She didn't understand it but what she saw was something completely unexpected. Karin now stood beside the guardrail staring straight at her hands wondering what the heck she just saw. Feeling uncomfortable and deciding it was getting extremely late, Karin headed home.

Once Karin finally made it back, her family including Hitsugaya, Hinamori, Renji, Rukia, and Matsumoto all sat in the living room.

"Ichi-nii, it's getting really late. Karin-nee isn't back yet. Ichi-nii," the light brown haired teen said.

Ichigo said nothing but continued to pace, "You left her behind," he stated directly at Hitsugaya.

"No, I didn't leave her, she kind of just walked off on her own-

"But you didn't go after her." Ichigo said. Hitsugaya didn't speak. He didn't know what to say. It was true he didn't go after her. Why? He himself didn't know why. As everyone waited another few minutes before actually going to look for her, Karin stood behind the wall. She closed her eyes and smiled.

"I'm home," Karin said walking into the living room acting as if nothing happened.

"Do you realize how late it is?" Ichigo asked. Karin bowed her head apologetically saying she was sorry.

"Sorry, I kinda lost track of time. I promise it won't happen again."

"You're off the hook this time but," Ichigo paused then his expression softened, "please at least call if you are going to be out this late again."

"H….hai Ichi-nii." Karin excused herself declining her sister's offer to heat up the left overs from dinner. Everyone decided to retire to their own quarters as she prepared to go up stairs. Hinamori stared at Karin worriedly.

She may not know Karin but once Karin walked out on Hitsugaya, Hitsugaya told her everything even about the whole amnesia thing. She felt bad for her and she worried about Hitsugaya. It was obvious that he was struggling with trying to make things right but so far nothing has gone right at all and it seems that the situation keeps getting worse. She had this strange feeling that it's only the beginning.

Renji, Matsumoto, and Hinamori said their good byes as Renji headed to Urahara's shop and Matsumoto and Hinamori headed to Inoue's apartment.

As soon as everyone left, Karin walked heading up the stairs passing by Hitsugaya without so much of a look. For some odd reason Karin completely forgot about the whole apologizing to Hitsugaya and spending the rest of the day with him. Hitsugaya couldn't speak at all. He attempted to say something nothing came out of his mouth. It was as if he was talking but his voice wasn't there at all.

It felt like time slowed down as he watched Karin walk by him without saying a word.

That same night Hitsugaya lay in bed half-asleep. He shifted to his right and stretched out his left arm rolling slightly onto his stomach. He slid his left hand on the bed.

Then his eyes suddenly opened. He looked around him and noticed that it was only him on the bed. Karin was nowhere to be found. Hitsugaya got up and looked around. After about 30 minutes of checking the whole house, he drew to a conclusion that she wasn't in the house at all. Then as he walked back to the room they shared, he felt a breeze go by him. He looked to his right and saw another room that he didn't go into. Strange he thought. He didn't know there was one more room in the house.

Hitsugaya walked in the room and saw that this room had a different air to it. The room was well kept. There was a bookshelf to his right and a closet to the left. He looked around him and saw many pictures of the Kurosaki family. In the center of all the pictures was a large picture of the Kurosaki family when Masaki was still alive.

As he stood in the center of the room he felt a flow of warmth and safety surround him. This one room calmed his heart. Then, a small breeze came in the room. He looked straight across between the bookshelf and closet there was a balcony. The glass sliding door was wide open and the wind blew the curtains in different directions.

That only meant on thing. Karin was in this room before she left. He walked to the door entering the room and closed it shut. Then he headed straight to the glass sliding door and jumped out of the balcony. With full speed, Hitsugaya searched around the possible places he could find Karin. However, every place he went to she wasn't there. If she wasn't in any place she usually hung out around, then where was she right now?

It was the amnesia. Maybe she found new places to hang around and forgot about the places she used to go to. He needed to go think. So he changed directions and swiftly headed to the one place he could think of. It was the same place he always goes to watch the sky.

Hitsugaya landed on the ground softly and quietly. He took one step and he froze. There sitting on his spot of the guardrail was her. He watched her stare at the sky, mesmerized by the stars that surrounded the moon and outshined the rest of the stars above them both. He was stunned. He didn't think this place would be where she would go to.

Deciding that now was the time to apologize he walked towards her. He sat right next to her waiting. Waiting for what? He asked himself.

It was either he does something about it or just act like nothing happened at all. But before he could do anything, he felt her head lean against his shoulder.

Hitsugaya looked down and saw Karin close her eyes showing neither anger nor happiness on her face.

There is a saying that actions speak louder than words. At that moment, neither of them said anything at all. They just sat there staring at the sky, forgetting about everything around them. Maybe he didn't have to worry so much. Maybe he's finally doing something right. Maybe she realized something. Maybe she was just tired. Maybe, just maybe things might work out well if they waited a little and cooperated with each other.

Just maybe.

OMAKE!!!!!!

"Geez!" a strawberry orange-haired woman said. Everyone around her in the breakfast table stared at her weird from her outburst.

"You two look beat! What were you two doing last night to make you this tired?" Matsumoto asked with nothing but curiosity.

Karin and Hitsugaya both grunted. Everyone around the table stared at the two, eye brows raised finally noticing how exhausted they looked.

Suddenly Isshin squealed like a little high school girl, "MY KARIN-CHAN AND SHIRO-CHAN WERE –

BANG!

Karin decked Isshin in the face sending him next door. Through the window, a woman screamed her head off and started beating Isshin.

"AHHHH!!!!! HENTAI!! AHHHH!!!" the lady held tightly to her towel and threw Isshin out of the bathroom through the hole that was created when Karin sent him crashing into the wall.

Everyone sweat dropped as Isshin ran back into the house screaming, covering his eyes. "OH MASAKI!!!" he ran to his wife's mural, "PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I SWEAR I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING! THERE IS NOBODY IN THE WORLD THAT I WOULD EVER SEE NAKED BUT YOU!!! I SWEAR! I REALLY DID'NT SEE ANYTHING!"

Isshin wailed on bended knees apologizing to his wife's portrait.

"HOLD UP!" Everyone's head turned Rukia. Rukia walked over to Karin and stared right at her. "Hmmm…."

Karin stared back at Rukia through her sleepy eyes.

Rukia inched in closer to Karin's face. "Hmmm…"

Karin began to feel uncomfortable with Rukia staring intently at her as if she was up to something.

One more time Rukia inched in a little closer.

"Hmmm..-

"Would you stop doing that! You're scaring her!" Ichigo grabbed Rukia by the hair.

"Ow! Ow! Ichigo! Let go!"

Karin stared at the bickering couple and winced at Ichigo who was now on the floor with Rukia standing right on him with her foot pushing his face flat on the floor rubbing it against the floor.

Okay everyone. Sorry, couldn't figure out how to end this chapter but I think I almost got it.

HINTS –

In the beginning, Karin went to the place where she watched the sky with Hitsugaya in ep 132 after she walked out on Hitsugaya.

2. She touches guardrail and a memory floods to her mind thus resulting her in going back there when Hitsugaya woke up and went searching 4 her.

3. Um ... oh yeah! Kind of foreshadowing earlier. The room Hitsugaya found when he woke up and didn't know that that room existed is sorta important. So don't forget it!

4. Finally the OMAKE! For those who didn't catch what I meant with Rukia saying, "HOLD UP!" and staring intently at Karin, I was giving you a hint there that Karin is starting to unconsciously remember everything. The big clue was that she decked Isshin in the face, which is something she hadn't done for a long time.
