"Ka…"I walked back to my room before Yuzu could say whatever she was about to say. I locked the door behind me, and I lay down on my bed. What is going on with…me? Can I see the past? I'm so confused. I got up from my bed and went to the window. Hopefully I won't find Toshiro gazing out his window. Our houses are right beside each other, and somehow we ended up having rooms across each other. When we were little Toshiro used to sneak over to my house, whenever I was sad, or I needed him for some reason. Not like my dad cared if he sneaked in. My dad did always find out somehow, and I know because he mentions it the next day, though he never has told me he can't come into this house ever again. I guess my dad trust him. I looked out my window to see Toshiro's window covered with his curtains. That's rare…wait why do I care? I'm scared…..Toshiro I need you! I went back to my bed, and went to sleep. Or at least I tried to go to sleep. I kept tossing and turning. At one moment I thought something or someone was stroking my hair, but when I turned around there was nothing there. That dream was it really a dream? I better go find out….
The next day I went to Urahara's shop. I found out a while ago that he is very useful with anything dealing with the supernatural. It took me a mere few minutes to get to the small shop. I opened the door to be greeted by Jinta. He is this annoying guy, which for some reason can get on Toshiro's nerves.
"Oh, if it isn't orange tops sister," Jinta says with a grin. I ignored his comment.
"Is Urahara here?" I asked.
"He is sleeping," Tessai says as he suddenly appears.
"Not anymore," I heard Urahara says with a yawn. After a few seconds he stands in front of me. "So what's the pleasure of having you here Miss Karin?" Urahara asks as he starts fanning himself with a fan.
"I need to know something, can we talk in private?" I asked as I remembered it might be for the best that few people know about this for now.
"Okay, Lets go to the training area, that's the most private room we have," Urahara says as he lifts a handle that was hidden below a rug.
"Okay," I said as Urahara opened the door that led the way down to the training area and jumped down. I was about to do the same until I noticed how deep down the fall would have been. How did Urahara survive that fall? I noticed there was a ladder, so I started climbing down. I took me a while, but I finally reached the ground.
"So what did you want to talk about with me?" Urahara got straight to the point.
"I had 2 dreams about these different girls, and they both died. I found out that it wasn't a dream when I saw the news. What's wrong with me?" I asked. He stood there for a long while.
"Did you see the dream before they died or after?" Urahara asks.
"After, because the news said this happened 5 days ago," I answered eagerly waiting for his answer.
"I think you have an ability to see a ghost's past," Urahara explains. I stared at him.
"That's impossible! I thought ghost didn't exist, actually even if they did I wouldn't believe in them," I said as I started pacing back and forth.
"If they get worse come back here," Urahara says as he ended our conversation.
"That's it no cure or riddance of them?" I asked.
"I don't know too much about this, but I do know you can never get rid of this ability. You can lessen it, but that's it." Urahara says as he hides half of his face behind his fan. I nodded as I went back toward the ladder, and started to climb up.
"Already leaving, orange top sister," Jinta mocked me. I gave him my coldest glare.
"Of course, I want to get as far away from you," I meanly said after I walked out of the door. I know he heard me, because I heard smashing sounds. I rolled my eyes. That boy can be so annoying. I am not the type to care that much, but he hits a nerve…bad nerve, actually it's the same nerve my dad hits most of the time. I walked down the streets to my house. My vision started to go blurry for a while, and then it came back. Huh?
"Karin," I heard Toshiro say from behind me. I turned around, and saw him run toward me.
"Did something happen?" I asked concerned. He stood there panting for a moment, and then he collected himself.
"No, it's just that Yuzu got worried, and told me to find you," Toshiro explains.
"Okay, how long have you been looking for me?" I asked. He shrugged.
"About 3 or 4 hours," Toshiro truthfully answered. I gaped at him.
"You searched for me for 3-4 hours! ARE YOU NUTS! IT'S FREZZING OUT HERE EARLY IN THE MORNING! You're going to get a cold," I said realizing I was yelling at him.
"No, need to be concerned I don't get a cold so easily," Toshiro says as he ruffles my hair. I felt a vain appear.
"I wasn't concerned," I arrogantly said.
"Oh, sure you weren't," Toshiro jokingly said. I stared at him. I stuck my tongue out at him, and then I heard something I have never heard from him. You think I would have heard him laugh before.
"T-Toshiro you laughed," I said gladly. I have always wanted to hear him laugh, and I'm glad I did. His laugh was so….what's the right word for it? Sweet, glamorous, no it was like music to my ears. I know that may be cliché, but that is what it sounded to me. He looked at me as if I was over exaggerating.
"What did you think I couldn't laugh," Toshiro says with a hurt tone of voice. I shake my head.
