Toshiro POV

I quickly climbed up the stairs and walked towards Karin's room carefully…almost as if any noise would create a more dire situation from the ones that I had seen in my mind. I leaned the right side of my head on the white French door of her bedroom and tried to listen with futile efforts to what was occurring on the other side of the door only to be met with the beating of my heart which was practically ringing in my ears…what the hell was going on?

"Karin…" I said rather softly while my head still leaned on the door.

"Karin…" I said a bit louder as I heard nothing…shit…

"Karin..Karin" I said as I turned the side of my head away from the door and began to knock on the door roughly. "Karin open the door, damn it." I said louder as my heartbeat began to race, the ringing in my ears getting louder as the skin on my forehead began to form beads of sweat causing the stitches on my forehead to sting slightly.

"Karin…if you don't open this door I'm going to kick it down you hear me?!" I said loudly as my knocking became erratic. "That's it" I said to myself as I took two steps away from the door before taking one step as an impulse and using the other step to kick the door down.

"Karin?" I said as I searched the room to find no trace of her. The rather large room was brightly lit due to the large wall-like window that directly faced the door. The thick dark purple curtains were pulled to the sides showing a king sized bed that was made neatly with about four accent pillows set on top of it, two nightstands which were white and had princess type detailing with bronze handles and black geometric lamps that rested on them and a white wardrobe that had a plasma hanging from the wall above it which faced the bed…where was she?...I looked around the room once more to find another french styled white door to my right, and through the bottom of the door I saw a shadow…movement…she must be in there…I slowly walked up to the door and placed the left side of head to hear at least some form of life…

'drip'

"Just drops…" I whispered to myself as I slowly began to visualize what looked like a bath tub filled to the brim with water and a pale hand sticking out from the edge…"Shit! KARIN!" I said aloud as I placed my right hand on the door knob and turned it quickly, opening the door to find a rather large white marbled bathroom...my eyes immediately caught the sight of a white bathtub filled to the brim with water…the sun shining brightly through a window sending rays towards the water that was filled with suds…but without a body…my heart began to race again…what had she done?...had she drowned herself?...the ringing in my ears came back with a vengeance as I began to take slow steps towards the bath tub.

"This can't be true…She just can't do this…" I said to myself as the sweat began to form on my forehead once again…she was gone…and I let her die…just like I did to…

Her shoulder length golden strawberry blonde hair flew in front of her head after a deafening bang…it happened so fast but as she falling it seemed like ten years had gone by before she hit the concrete with a sickening crack…her face was still agape…her eyes which used to be a vibrant hazel were now dull and grey…her flushed cheeks were now pale…and the humid and grimy air became filled with the fresh smell of metal as the red liquid began to gather around her head…

'SPLASH'

My flashback was interrupted when I heard something…I looked directly at the bath tub to find the water flowing out from the edges…and within seconds a body rose out of the water…she quickly flipped her black mane back towards her back before she wiped her eyes…she was a vision…a goddess really…her curves were perfect…her waist was tiny…her breasts were the perfect tear drop shape…and her skin was perfectly creamy without a single mark or—wait what's that?...on her ribcage there was something written…what looked like a tattoo…but Kar was never into tattoo's…unless if-

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" A loud scream said to me which took me out of my daze and quickly sent my attention to her grey eyes and I could feel myself blush under her heated stare…shit…this is not good…

Karin POV

"Do you really hate him that much?"

"Of course…don't you?"

I don't know…Why do I hesitate to kick him out…What's wrong with me?...it's just whenever I see those teal eyes…

"Why are you doing this?"

Why am I doing this?...Why am I bothering to help a man who's not even worth my time…A man who should be put behind bars but managed to escape the cops…

"Why am I so bent on keeping him with me?" I said as I looked up to ceiling and laid my head against the cold edge of the bathtub…it seems futile to me…no matter how many times I try to find reasons to kick him out…I just can't…

"I fucking hate myself!" I said as I grabbed the bar of soap and threw it towards the ground and watched as it danced across the marbled floor before stopping at a lavender rug that I had placed in front of the sink…I just needed to think to myself…I needed to get him out of my mind…for only a minute…I quickly took a deep breath, closed my eyes and went under water as I tried to take him out of my mind…

His lips…so smooth…minty even…why am I thinking about him…it was only a kiss…it had no meaning…and coming from a person like him…it doesn't…

I could feel my chest begin to ache…I had to breathe…I quickly sat up and stood up from my bathtub letting the water cascade down my body before I flipped my hair out of my face and rubbed the soapy water from my eyes…I needed a break from him…I needed to get to work and start designing again…the minute I opened my eyes a bit I saw white…WHITE?!...I opened them immediately to find Toshiro just standing there with some black basketball shorts on and nothing else…he seemed to be staring at me without a care in the world…the audacity!

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I screamed as I saw him blink a couple of times and visibly blush at the fact that I caught him…

"Uh…I can explain…" He said as he walked back before visibly losing his balance but catching himself in the nick of time by holding on to the door post.

"YOU CAN EXPLAIN?! MY DOOR WAS LOCKED! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DARE TO INVADE MY PRIVACY LIKE THAT AND JUST BURST IN?!" I screamed even more as I felt myself become red because I could feel my blood boiling…all he did was stare…becoming redder with each passing moment…Jeez…you'd think he'd seen a naked woman before…

"DAMN IT TOSHIRO! IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ANSWER ME THEN GET OUT!" I yelled as he seemed to not understand what I was saying.

"DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ME?! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" I yelled as he finally managed to leave my bathroom and close the door behind him with a small thud…I was livid…and yet all I could do was stand there and yell…those eyes…that blush…why am I so weak around him?...

Forgive me if it's short...I have MASSIVE writer's block. -_-"
