ok, let's recap. The kurosaki family know that Aizen is going after one of his own. But what they don't know is that there are two hunters on the run, Renji and Toshirou. Karin knows about Toshirou while Ichigo and Rukia know about Renji. The twists are to keep you on the edge of your computer or laptop or seat or whatever. Anyways, enjoy! Please and thanks for the love!

Karin awoke in a comfy canopy bed with black 1200 thread count sheets in the middle of a beautiful master room. 100 feet away from where Karin lay was a grand fireplace and literally in the middle of the room a fountain was placed spitting out water in the most beautiful patterns. Karin couldn't make sense of what happened to her. 'Ok, so I was attacked by Toshirou and he left me there to die like a bitch instead of finishing me off...then I blackout. Now I'm in a room and have no idea where the hell I am.'

"E-E-Excuse me ma'am..." A soft voice cooed from the bedroom door. Karin snapped her head toward the voice and was met with a young girl with white hair and the same piercing eyes that belong to Toshirou. Karin pushed off the covers and inhumanly sped and stopped in front of the girl, almost giving her a heart attack. She wrapped her hand around the girl's neck but refused to put pressure on it.

"If you don't already know, I am a dangerous creature." Karin revealed her fangs. "Now tell me where I am."

"T-The estate o-o-of Hitsugaya T-T-Toshirou, K-Kurosaki-san." The girl stammered. Karin couldn't believe it. She slowly let go of the girl's neck and backed away. 'No this bastard didn't...' Her treacherous gaze fell upon the girl.

"Tell that bastard that his guest wants him...now."

Yuzu cried onto Ichigo's shoulder. "Where is she?" He muttered. On the floor next to Karin's family was a note that read:

i'm going to go figure some stuff out. i'll be back soon.

-Karin

"Wait Ichi-nii, hold on. I'll see if I can reach her." Yuzu pushed away from Ichigo, closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on her sister's energy. Images of streets all over Japan lashed in her eyes until she finally saw her sister pacing back in forth in a master room.

'Karin!'

'Yuzu?'

'Where are you?'

'Damn, you reached me...'

'Yes. Ichigo, Dad and I are freaking out.'

'Don't worry, I'm fine. It's hard to explain.'

'Try Karin.'

Karin sighed. 'Ok, I was attacked, blacked out and ended up in the home of the hunter I chased down yesterday.'

Yuzu laughed. 'You have the craziest adventures, but you're alright?'

'Yes. I'm gonna try and get some more info. I'll see you soon ok?'

'Promise?'

'I promise.'

Yuzu opened her eyes and smiled at Ichigo and her father. "Karin's fine. She told me to tell you and Dad not to go after her."

Isshin shrugged. "She's a pheonix. We'll do it her way for now." Ichigo shook his head and stood up.

"Why won't she let us come after her?"

Yuzu and Isshin glanced at each other then back at Ichigo. They both knew that Ichigo loved his family and he hated to be out of the loop. He sometimes worried about Karin even more because he thought her temper would get her in danger or even killed. Ichigo ran a hand through his hair and sighed.

"I'm going to bed. Yuzu, lemme know if anything changes with Karin."

"Ok, Ichigo. Nite."

Karin lay arms and legs aspread, waiting for her "gracious host" to arrive. 'That bastard...does he know who he's dealing with?'

"Kurosaki..." An icy voice sent a tiny shiver down her spine. Karin sat up and looked towards the bedroom door and saw Toshirou leaning against the doorframe. Words couldn't explain the fury that started to build in Karin's stomach when she laid eyes on the white haired man. She bolted towards him instantly and was caught by the shoulders in his rough hands.

"You have balls, I'll give you that." Karin spat.

Toshirou smirked. "And you're just as strong as I thought."

"..."

He let Karin go and shoved her, making her slam against the bed which collapsed upon itself. Karin shook it off and chraged at Toshirou again and punched him in the face. The hunter slid back on his feet but didn't fall.

"Kurosaki, the reason why I didn't kill you is because I can't..."

"Because you can't!" Karin yelled confidently.

'Please...' Toshirou thought. "It's because I owe your mother my life."

Talk about shock. Karin's whole body froze where she stood at the mention of her mother. Tears automatically raced down her cheeks and her eyes quickly shifted into a color of blood red. "Explain...before I rip your heart out."

Toshirou sighed and did just that.

"Kaa-san! Otou-san!" A five year old Toshirou yelled as he witnessed his parents' throat be ripped out by a disgusting creature named Aizen. Toshirou stayed in the closet, hoping Aizen wouldn't find him. As he cried and cried, he noticed a beautiful woman with long flowing amber hair approach Aizen.

"Aizen, this is not the way..."

Aizen smirked. "Masaki, these people deserved to die, and so does that little boy hiding in the closet."

Masaki stepped in his way. "Wait. Toushirou-kun is innocent. At least let him live."

"The boy must die."

"I can not let you do that."

Aizen shook his head. "Then you must die."

Toshirou ran out of the closet, about to take Aizen's blow. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" But Masaki pushed Toshirou out of the way just in time and was struck in the heart with three wooden bullets. Masaki fell to the floor, dead. Aizen disappeared in a puff of smoke, while Toshirou cried over the three bodies in his living room. He walked over to Masaki and touched her cheek with his small delicate fingers.

"T-Thank you for saving me, Masaki-san."

Masaki gasped for her last breath and smiled. "Y-You're welcome...Aizen will hunt down my Karin...for her power...promise me...you'll never let that happen..."

"I promise, Masaki-san."

"So my Kaa-san left our house that night to protect you? She told me she had a job to do."

Toshirou sat on the floor with his back leaning against the door. "Your mother and my parents were really good friends. My parents worked at an animal hospital and used to get animal blood for your family because your mother requested it. She loved you guys a lot."

Karin stumbled to the ground, crying. "I...miss her. I-I couldn't even say goodbye..." Toshirou was empathetic towards the girl but also surprised that such a confident woman like herself would show her true emotions in front of anyone, let alone a hunter like himself. He suddenly stood up, walked over to the young woman and wrapped her up into a comforting embrace.

"You know I could kill you right now...?" Karin said wiping her tears. Toshirou chuckled dryly.

"But you won't."

Karin shook her head and looked the hunter dead in his piercing eyes. "It's not that I won't...I can't..." Immediately, Toshirou smashed his lips onto Karin's and pulled her down on top of him. Karin locked her hands in Toshirou's hair and moaned quietly into the kiss. The attraction was almost primal and their makeout session was destroying everything in the master room. Karin shoved Toshirou into the wall and ran her fingers up his shirt, feeling his 8 pack. 'That hunter training was a curse...and a blessing...' She thought hungrily. Toshirou glanced above him and saw the crack run up the wall. He broke away from the kiss and pounced on Karin and pinning her to the ground. Her wrists were pinned above her head and her tank was ripped through the middle halfway. Karin's lust for the man hovering above her felt so wrong but it was so right. Never would their societies accept a vampire and a hunter that are romantically involved together. Both Karin and Toshirou knew this, and yet they still decided to go through with this.

Toshirou pulled away and pulled Karin into a hug. "Wow..."

'No! I'm not doing this...not now...not ever.' Karin thought. She shook her head and pushed Toshirou away. "This can't happen, you're a hunter as long as this war continues, I'll always be your prey." Karin pushed Toshirou across the room and sped out of the house, desperate to get away, too bad she didn't realize where she was. She caught a nearby taxi driving down the street. Karin lifted her hand and stopped the taxi instantly. She hopped inside and then looked into the driver's eyes. Her eyes shifted into an fiery red and spoke,

"You will drive to 521 Seretei drive, you will not ask for money. Got it?"

The driver, with his mouth agape, nodded. And in less than 15 minutes she was home. Karin got out of the taxi and walked up to her doorstep with only one thought in her head.

'How the hell am I gonna explain this to everyone?'

She'll find a way, she always finds a way. Hope u guys enjoyed! Please R&R!
