(*AT THE SAME TIME/ WITH TOSHIRO*)

As soon as the tenth division's lieutenant left, Toshiro turned to Karin to see what she looked like in soul reaper form, since he never got the chance earlier. Karin's short black hair was now long and wavy, reaching down to about her waist. Her uniform was average, but the way it looked on her was, to Toshiro, beautiful. I wonder why this one isn't taken yet Hyourinmaru said as he too, looked at Karin and another thing I'm wondering about…how the hell is this Ichigo Kurosaki's sister?! She doesn't look like him at all! Toshiro laughed at his frustrated Zanpaktou and turned to the window to see a black hell butterfly.

Toshiro stuck out his finger and the hell butterfly flew and landed on it to play its message. Bring the Kurosaki girl to the squad one meeting room came the head captain's voice, job done, the hell butterfly flew out the window. Toshiro nodded and went over to Karin, who was still sleeping on the couch.

"Karin" Toshiro called as he shook said girl's shoulder "Karin, it's time to see the head captain" the only reply he got was a groan as Karin rolled over, still asleep, Toshiro rolled his eyes and took a deep breath before shouting "KARIN!". Karin woke up instantly shouting "I DID NOT EAT THAT CAKE!" Toshiro burst out laughing at Karin, who was confused as she looked around, trying to figure out where she was. "What was in that dream!?" Toshiro asked as he laughed, Karin blinked before laughing too.

"So what was that dream about?" Toshiro asked Karin as they walked to the first division, "nothing really, just randomness" Karin said quickly, too quickly. "What was it?" Toshiro asked as he poked her shoulder, ignoring the strange looks he got, Karin blushed and said "I was in this strange cake world…and there was this big cake…the people in the cake world told me not to eat it but I ate it anyway" the blush on Karin's face went from light pink to cherry red from all the embarrassment very cute Hyourinmaru commented did you do that on purpose? Toshiro inwardly smirked and looked at Karin, who was glaring at him from what she had heard.

"Yeah, that is pretty random" Toshiro shrugged, time for payback Karin sent to Hyourinmaru and Miyabi, who both smirked. "Hey! Why do you call me by my first name and everyone else by their last?" Karin asked, this was something she'd been wondering about and it was payback, two birds with one stone. Without even flinching Toshiro answered "captains must call everyone except their relatives, close friends and partners by their last names, a few ignore that rule…for example, your brother"…sort of. "You didn't answer my question" Karin groaned as she rolled her eyes, "race ya" Toshiro yelled suddenly, flash-stepping ahead. Karin, instantly forgetting about her question, ran after Toshiro.

"How…can…you…run…that…fast?" Toshiro asked between flash-steps, Karin having no trouble keeping up. "Eh…" Karin shrugged as she spun around and started running backwards "Yoroichi taught me, I also know flash-step" to emphasise her point Karin flash-stepped ahead. Karin slowed down so Toshiro could keep up and asked "so are we gonna race?" Toshiro nodded and flash-stepped a little faster towards the first division, Karin smirked and easily caught up with Toshiro while shouting "just to be fair, I promise I won't flash-step!"

(*AT THE CAPTAIN'S MEETING AS THEY WAITED FOR TOSHIRO AND KARIN*)

"Where is he?" Ichigo asked as he stood impatiently with the rest of the captains and lieutenants, "maybe the Kurosaki girl is more trouble than we thought" the head captain said quietly. Just then a loud bang and a groan, then laughter, came from outside. Curiously, everyone exited the room and crept around the corner to where the noise came from, even old man Yamma was there (*yes, I like to call him that*).

What everyone saw would be probably one of the funniest things someone can see. There, curled up at the bottom of a brick wall was the captain of squad ten, that's probably who groaned…and next to him was the source of the laughter, Karin Kurosaki was leaning against the wall laughing. "What happened?" Ichigo asked, Karin looked up at her older brother and grinned, all too happy tell the story of how the mighty (*small, don't tell him I said that though!*) captain of squad ten, Toshiro Hitsugaya ran into a brick wall.

"He asked me to race, I was ahead and when then he tried to go faster he ran into the brick wall! You should have seen it! Hilarious!" Karin shouted before turning to Toshiro and asking "why did you ram into the wall anyway? I told you it was there! Hey! Squad four captain! I think Toshiro's unconscious!" everyone (except Byakuya, Zoi-fon and old man Yamma) laughed. "I'm not unconscious!" Toshiro groaned "I just have a killer headache and a sore nose" everyone laughed again as Karin walked forward and amazed everyone with her healing Kido as she cured her friend's headache. "So" Karin said as she clapped her hands "should we get on with the meeting thing?" old man Yamma nodded and walked back into the large room they were in earlier with everyone else following behind.

(*KARIN'S POV*)

"So, young Kurosaki, how did you get your powers?" the old captain asked as he looked at me, it felt like he was looking into my soul, no pun intended, but it was so freaky! Does he look at everyone like that? Poor people. "Well actually it started with the dreams about Miyabi…" I started, but stopped when I saw the old man had his hand up, and, refraining from laughing I waited for him to ask his question. "Is Miyabi your Zanpaktou?" he asked, ah, I forgot to say that! I nodded and allowed my Zanpaktou to materialise in her human form, she had long black hair with red highlights that went down to her ankles, her eyes were fiery red and she wore a long dark red kimono. She was also bare foot, but it didn't really matter, in my point of view, fire is the top of all elements, it melts ice, lives off wind and earth doesn't even affect her, yes, I picture fire as a she, got a problem with that?

Anyway, back to the subject, seeing that I was letting my Zanpaktou out, everyone else did too, I smirked as Hyourinmaru materialized and instantly walked over to Miyabi "Miyabi and Hyourinmaru, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G…" I sang "shut up" Miyabi groaned, I ignored her and continued to sing, Toshiro joining in "…first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby dragons sitting in a carriage" everyone and their Zanpaktous laughed as Miyabi's face went red. "Quiet!" the old man shouted, everyone instantly stopped talking, "now, back to the meeting, no jokes, no comments, no bonkai" Toshiro silently laughed in his head, well to me it was more like someone told him the world's funniest joke and tickled him at the same time, so loud.

"Now, tell me, does your Zanpaktou have any special abilities?" the old captain asked, I heard Toshiro mentally shouting no, say no! I was confused as to why I shouldn't tell the old man about my unusual powers, but did as he said anyway; "no, nothing other than what…" I started to say but then Miyabi butted in "…nothing other than what Mr cutie told you earlier" everyone except me and Toshiro snickered at the nick-name, I'm sure I blushed and I heard Toshiro mutter "stop calling me that", I'm pretty sure he was blushing though. The rest of the meeting was boring, the old man asking me questions and Miyabi adding her unwanted comments and when I sensed the old man was going to finish I perked up.

"Karin Kurosaki…"

(*I WAS going to put a cliff-hanger here, but I want to be nice to you peoples so I'll keep going…oh and I don't want to add this to any other chapters so please listen closely…cough, cough…I TYPE FASTER WHEN I GET REVIEWS SO YOU UNHELPFUL PEOPLE THERE, YES YOU, GIVE ME REVIEWS! Enjoy!*)

"Karin Kurosaki…" I flinched, expecting the worst "…in two months, when the next semester in the academy starts, you will go to the soul reaper academy and go through all the classes from the start, and once completed, you will be assigned to a squad and live the life of a soul reaper" I sensed everyone in the room relax and the mood suddenly changed…

"Dismissed!" the old man shouted, everyone left patting my shoulder and congratulated me like I won a medal. The only people that was left was Ichigo, Rukia, Toshiro and our Zanpaktous, Miyabi and Hyourinmaru were talking in a corner while Rukia's Zanpaktou, (I forgot her name (*no really I did, would anybody be so kind as to help me? Rukia's Zanpaktou will be mentioned later so it would be helpful*)) and Zangetsu were chatting in another corner, so we were in the middle.

"So where will you be staying until you start at the academy Karin?" Rukia asked me, I shrugged and hummed 'I don't know'. "How about you stay with us?" Ichigo asked, as soon as he said that I instantly thought loud thumps and creaks from the bed next door during the night, yes, I knew Ichigo and Rukia were at it, its mentally scaring. I shook my head and said "I know what you two do at night, do you think I would wanna be in the next room with that going on?" Ichigo and Rukia blushed while me and Toshiro snickered "hilarious" all the Zanpaktou said at once. "Let's go Rukia" Ichigo whispered, Rukia smiled and giggled, "Going to bed early are we" I teased, Ichigo and Rukia blushed as they summoned their Zanpaktous before shuffling out of the room.

"Do you know any place I could stay Toshiro?" I asked as we walked towards the tenth division Toshiro thought for a second before sighing "I could ask Matumoto to let you stay with her, but she always hangs around my place drunk, and when she is home she's sleeping, no fun there…how about you stay at my place?" instantly Miyabi jumped ahead and nodded vigorously "pleeeeaaaassee say yes Karin!" she pleaded, I rolled my eyes and groaned "you just want to spend time with Hyourinmaru…and I was going to say yes anyway" Miyabi gave a silent cheer and fist-pumped the air as she gave a little dance.
