You Are Mine
Chap. 4
Previously…
"Hey Karin, don't push yourself so hard! You're still recovering if I must remind you!" Toshiro yelled towards her way.
Karin couldn't hear him, she was going too fast and the wind was blowing right into her ears. Then she started to feel kind of tired as if she could just pass out right then and there. And she started seeing things, going dizzy; obviously that drug wasn't a 24 hour go away one.
'Damn, that drug is making me weak again, but why do I feel this presence in me…? I got to stay awake and not pass out, but I feel so tired… Toshiro was right; I should've taken it easy. Man I feel like an ass…I probably will never admit it though…'
With that last thought Karin was in a middle of a flash step over a building to another, when she suddenly went numb and fell forward towards the ground, with a figure smirking evilly and watching from a far distance.
"Hehe~ Looks like she's falling, better hurry Soul Reaper Captain." The figure said to themself and was gone once again.
Present Storyline
"KARIN!" Toshiro yelled and flash stepped faster than he's ever gone.
"To-Toshiro?" Karin could see Toshiro rush towards her falling, numb body.
'Damn this, now I'll never hear the end of this from him. Wait, his eyes are they filled with concern and worry?' Karin thought before she lost consciousness for a bit.
Before Karin came 10 feet from hitting the ground, Toshiro caught her in his arms. Karin was kind of out consciousness and Toshiro shook her to snap her out of it.
"Karin? Karin! Answer me god damn it."
Karin opened her eyes and blinked a few times to see Toshiro holding her and looking down at her filled with worry and a bit of anger.
"Toshiro? What the? What just happened?"
"You were going too fast and your body probably went numb again. I told you to take it easy, Karin. Why didn't you listen?" Based off Toshiro's voice you could tell he was a bit angry with her, but realizes he needed to be calm with her.
"Sorry, I must've not heard you. Just like my brother I guess, got to listen better I guess." Karin did sound like she was sorry, but her head was killing her and affecting her voice a little.
"Well no more of that until you're up to full strength. You got that? Don't make me order you." Toshiro said being very serious.
"Don't start ordering me around Toshiro. I don't handle that very well and you know it. So don't you even dare right now alright, I said I was sorry, okay?" Karin said a bit pissed at him.
"Fine, and sorry, wrong choice of words. I just don't want you over exhausting yourself that's all."
Toshiro's voice was softer and calm this time and knew he just had to be patient with her.
"Alright…I'll try my best." Karin said, feeling less pissed and more promising now.
Toshiro continued to flash step with her in his arms until they arrived at her work, with two minutes to spare. Her work was a restaurant/café kind of place by the name of "Sakura no Hana Niwa" (The Cherry Blossom Garden). It looked like a fine and expensive place based off the appearance of things. With it having cherry blossom trees as you enter through the doorway and the outside having the appearance of an imperial palace fit for an emperor.
"You work here? It looks quite stunning for an eating place in the World of the Living. And yet that sorry excuse for a girl works here with you." Toshiro sighed and set Karin down gently.
"Yeah I know, but it's a really nice restaurant, actually it's more like a café. And that girl is the owner's daughter, welcome to life. Anyway, I wanted to say thank you for earlier and all, and putting up with me back there." Karin said while changing into her human form, but she wasn't telling the whole story about the place.
While Toshiro saw his gigai running up towards them, he walked over to it and got in it and walked back over to Karin; he was wearing a simple black dress shirt that had an ice dragon decal on his left sleeve along with a pair of light blue skinny jeans and a simple pair of brownish dress shoes, but they were more like running shoes. Toshiro Hitsugaya always in style like usual.
"No worries, Karin, now aren't you going to be late?"
Toshiro was walking and talking with Karin while entering through the doors of the place and saw that she was wearing some black jean capris with a white short sleeved shirt that said the restaurant's name and logo on it; it was a cherry blossom tree, and he could see it was her uniform and he thought the shirt fit her quite nicely.
"No problem Toshiro, we got here two minutes early and I'm automatically punched in on time right when I walk through the doors. And if you think this is my uniform then you're mostly correct, except on certain days when I have to wear something else." Karin said that while blushing about the other outfit and what would happen if Toshiro ever saw her in it.
Toshiro gave her a puzzled look. "Something else? Like what?"
"Well, let me put it this way, I have to wear a-." Karin was then rudely interrupted.
"HEY! MANLADY KUROSAKI! YOU MIGHT'VE BEEN LUCKY TO GET HERE ON TIME, BUT YOUR SHIFT STARTS NOW!" yelled the person.
Karin and Toshiro turned around to see a prissy girl with light purple hair in a ponytail and wearing a layered tank top, a mini skirt way too short for her, along with some red high heel stilettos, and obviously wearing too much make-up. The girl was the owner's daughter. Her name is Nikui Kaika (Hateful Blossom), the worst kind of girl you want to know.
Toshiro glared at Nikui. 'So this is that girl. Man she's such an immature, prissy, stuck up kind of human. I question how Karin puts up with her.'
Karin sighed. "Alright, fine Nikui. But there's no need to yell like you usually do when you break a nail, or when a guy dumps you." Karin had meant for it to be funny.
It worked; Toshiro turned towards Karin and gave off a slight smile and a slight chuckle, while Nikui was just boiling with rage.
"Look here, Ku-ro-sa-ki. I don't give a fuck what you say. So stop chatting with your friend who's too good for you and get in your other outfit. It's one of those days where you have to wear it, just try not to take off your clothes and start asking the men to sleep with you. After all, a man lady like you would be so desperate." Nikui smirked and then winked at Toshiro.
"Besides, he's too good to be your boyfriend, so maybe I should take him for my own. What do you say, Toshiro~?" Nikui asked Toshiro while Karin was just boiling.
Toshiro just glared at the girl, but replied, "First of all, it's Hitsugaya to you if you didn't know from eavesdropping on us, and second of all, no. Stay away from me and leave Karin alone or you will regret it, a girl of your intellect should at least know that much next to nothing."
Karin just stared in shock and awe at Toshiro's choice of words and Nikui's expression was just priceless. Her mouth was wide open like, it was as if she's never been so rejected.
"F-Fine! Have it your way! And Kurosaki you're on in 20 minutes, so get your ass ready!" And with that, Nikui began to walk away.
'Oh just they wait. I can't wait for what I'm about to do to that Kurosaki girl, and her "friend" there will just realize how much of a bitch she is, and maybe if I'm lucky, I can go out with him, even with that little rejection, it doesn't mean a thing to me. I love being like this, I'm so the queen, hehe~.' Nikui thought as she was walking away from the two, smirking quite evilly.
Karin was still in awe of what Toshiro said and thought Nikui got what she deserved. But the statement she said towards Karin did hurt a little, considering Karin still not thinking straight from the incident. Toshiro noticed this and turned to face her and put a hand on her shoulder. A sign showing he was concerned in a way.
"Don't worry about it. I'm used to it. You go find a seat or go walk around town, I'll be fine Toshiro." Karin gave off a fake smile and headed to the changing room.
Toshiro didn't believe Karin, but he sighed and went with it for now and went to go take a seat.
About 20 minutes pass, and Toshiro is sitting at quaint little table close to a stage like area that had these flowers all around and a pole in the middle of the stage which he was beginning to question about for the past few minutes, the place was starting to look like more of a strip joint then a high fancy café/restaurant.
He was sipping some green tea and beginning to worry about Karin again.
'I hope Karin is okay, I know she's lying so I don't get involved, but I can't help but worry.'
Toshiro was driven out of his thoughts from a young man at the microphone.
"Ladies and gentleman today is that day of the week, the week when one of our employees comes out in that irresistible outfit and entertains you all, especially the men. I give you Miss Kurosaki."
Karin then stepped out onto the stage in a really short geisha kimono; it was blue with white branches of cherry blossom trees on it. Her hair was pulled up and she was wearing blue eye shadow, blush, and lipstick. She looked quite stunning and quite beautiful.
Toshiro's eyes widened at the sight of her. He was mixed for emotions except that he was blushing quite a bit, and his member was beginning to throb because of how seductive Karin looked. He thought she was so beautiful, if he could, he would just pick her up and take her right there and walk out of the place, but very slim chances of that ever happening.
Karin was trying to hide herself from Toshiro, but was failing, and her face was as red as a tomato. She sighed and was about to say something when all of a sudden, cold, freezing, water poured down on and over her.
"Ah!" Karin had kind of screamed out of shock and surprise.
Toshiro's eyes widened in anger and concern and kind of yelled out her name, "Karin!"
She was completely soaked with the eye shadow running down her face and then Nikui walked out onto the stage.
"Oh Karin, you're all wet, here, let me take this wet kimono off of you!" Nikui smirked and pulled the whole kimono off, only leaving Karin in her wet, lacy undergarments.
"Time for the real show, boys, and here's your favorite slut to fuck around with!" Nikui yelled across the whole restaurant.
Men in the restaurant started whistling, while women were looking away in disgust and everyone was laughing at Karin. Toshiro was getting quite angry with the men in the room, even some of the women, and the sorry excuse for a human, Nikui; then the temperature in the room suddenly went drastically cold.
Karin was cold and angry as could be, but also embarrassed of Toshiro seeing her like this and just actually was going under stress because of what happened yesterday. So she pushed Nikui off the stage and stuck the middle finger at her as Nikui landed onto a table and then ran off the stage with a water trail not too far behind.
Toshiro got up and walked over to Nikui. "You are nothing but human trash. Don't go near Karin ever again."
Nikui smirked and snickered. "Oh please~. I have to, this is her job and I can do as I please. Besides she has no one and she has to work here. So why not just leave her and be with a real girl like me?"
"Wrong. She's not coming back to this place; I'll make sure of that. I'll take care of her. This way she doesn't have to deal with a bitch like you and so she doesn't get hurt again and that no one will ever hurt her. And a 'real girl'? Oh please, you're beyond fake, and the last thing from a girl. And I won't leave Karin, not like this." Toshiro said quite coldly and walked away toward the changing room, leaving Nikui puzzled and boiling with rage and shivering in the now cold restaurant.
'That son of a bitch, Toshiro Hitsugaya. Looks like that plan failed, I better try a little harder. That Kurosaki girl won't know what hit her.' Nikui thought before getting up and heading over to the air conditioner to turn up the heat and to shut up the laughter of the people who saw her fall.
A/N: Yay! Toshiro saved Karin from falling. But that bitch Nikui, what's her deal about? And what is planning on doing to Karin next time when she encounters again? Poor Karin, being humiliated like that, especially in front of Toshiro. But what does Toshiro mean he'll take care of her? Oooooooo, keep readin to find out more! And watch for updates, it's getting good~ ! ;)
