"Can't catch me!" A white haired kid smiled as he ran away from the black haired girl chasing him. He had just splashed her with water.
"Toushiro!" She turned an angry red and went into rage mode. She would completely be intent on humiliating me.
"Whoops, got to run!" I dashed past my sisters who were all eating watermelons- Hey! I want some to!- and past all the young heads of the clans.
She. Was. FAST! I was nearly plowed over as she ran over me. Only when I was lying face down on the grass face first, twiching at the best, did she finally start to worry about me.
"Toushiro-kun, are you all right?" She hurridly bent down and helped me up.
"Never better." I grimaced. Even three year old men had to be brave and pretend to be strong.
"Toushiro, don't do that again." Karin pouted. I tried to look away. She was making those eyes again.
"F-fine." I blushed and looked away. Karin, who got over her mood swing quickly, pulled me up and started jumping up and down. This was a very commen thing for her to be doing.
"Toushiro, be with me forever!" She usually demanded this whenever she was delieriously happy. Now was one of those times.
"You better stop doing that, otherwise you'll look like a moron." She ignored me, as usual.

Toushiro's POV
I opened my eyes. I got up and went to the kitchen for some watermelon.
I had cut the whole thing in half and was just scooping it out and eating the red stuff.
Karin.
Really, had amnesia erased all those times from her memory? Every night, every second of our childhood? Sleepover? Holidays? She really didn't remember a thing?

"Karin Kurosaki has been in an accedient!" The cal went through our household and throught the clans like wildfire, in a matter of hours, every ninjutsu clan knew that KArin Kurosaki had been in a car accedent.
"Karin?" I looked at her little body in the sheets, we were five at the time. She looked so small and frail. So lifeless, not like how she usually was.
"KARIN!" I cried into her sheets. "WAKE UP!" She needed to wake up, she needed to have more color, I wanted my best friend back.
"She's in a coma." That was all I heard from the docotors and adults.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"She has woken up." I demanded to be rushed to the hospital as soon as I had heard the good news.
She's alright. She's okay. We'll be able to be together while she heals. She was only asleep for a long time.
"Who are you?" Those were the first words I had heard out of her mouth for the first time in three months!
"Karin? Seriously? I'm Toushiro!" I wasn't hearing this, it wasn't true.
"Really? I've never seen you before." That was all she had to say before all the adults had rushed her away with the docotors to question.
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
"Long term amnesia." Taht was the docotor's explinationg. She didn't recognize her parent, her brother, sister, or me.
"She doesn't remember me?" I questioned. My heart was slowly emptying. This wasn't happening.
"What's my name?" That was all I heard before I ran out of the room.

Toushiro's POV
Karin. Karin. Karin.
I had hoped that with your memory gone that the prophecy wouldn't apply to you anymore if you didn't know the details. Everything wouldn't turn out like this,, I had to be wrong for this.
Rukia's POV
"Your slow." The berry head charged and tried to shunpo behind me. I was away already, he didn't have enough time to even blink.
He yelled in frustration.
"Your loud." I stepped on his head. He tried to spin around to face me but I kicked him halfway across the room.
"And your hair is to bright." I saw him quiver in the attempt to stand up.
"Shut up and just fight." I saw a grin flash across his face. Then I realized something, he hadn't been serious, till now.

2 hours later.
Ichigo's POV
"Kurosaki's win, 132- 23."I collasped with fatigue.
"Good game, your a little loud though." I saw her limp to the side where her brother, the "noble" Kuchiki head of house was talking to her, with a frown on his face. What was up with his hair?
"Thank you for your time Kurosaki." Byakuya Kuchiki boowed to me and left with his sister at his heels.
"Hm, up tight much?" I grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat off from my face.
"She was kind of cute. A little stuck up though." I thought back to the Kuchiki heiress. "Wonder how much Byakuya would kill me if I asked her out?" I thought about it.
"Nah. He'd probalably kick me to hell and then find me there and then kick me back."
