Chapter 7: Kurosaki Neckless; Toshiro.

I had the night mare again, but in my dream, the faces were visible, but Why?

Today was a Saturday, so I was getting ready to head out to train with Toshiro-kun, when I see the necklace that has my last name. As I kneeled down to pick it up, I see some thing written on the back of it. It read, "To Mint, from Your Mommy, Daddy, Yuzu, Karin, and your brother, Ichigo. Merry Christmas." I began to think about how they were, but I didn't really know for sure. But I didn't have anything to full around, so I ran to the gate. After a few minutes from the gate I got to the forest, and found Toshiro-kun waiting for me.

"Hey Toshiro-kun!"

"Hey, ready to go train Mint?"

"Yup, let's start."

After Our training we headed down town, to get some snack, when I hear people whispering, to each other, but I ignored them. We got to a candy stand, were a man looked at me smiling, but the smile went away once he laid eyes on Toshiro-kun.

"How may I help you young lady?" the man asked me.

"Yes, can I have two small jars, of candy, one sweet, and the other sour, please?"

"Well of course you may"

"Thank you very my sir," I said as he handed me the jars, and I, the money, "Here you go sir."

"Come again."

I nodded to him and skipped to Toshiro. When I got their I handed one of the jars to him, and began to head, to his house today. Every one kept looking at us, but they were also whispering mean thing about us, but they stopped as soon as they see two soul reapers, walk by. I was surprised to see that they were Kaito and Rangiku-san.

"Kaito, Rangiku-san, what bring you guys out here"

"That's my question," said Kaito.

"Toshiro-kun and I came to get some candy, to head to his house,"

"Wait I know this boy! IT IS YOU, YOU'RE THE ICE BOY!" Rangiku-san said surprised.

After we talked they headed on, and we return to walking. When we got their, many of the boy around began to go in their houses. We came to an old lady, standing their, waving at us. I gave a smile as Toshiro-kun, waved back.

"Welcome back Toshiro," the woman said

"Welcome back Shiro-chan," said a girl coming out of the house.

"Momo what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you, and to meet your friend… and she's a girl?"

"Hello, my name is Kurosaki, Mint. Please call me Mint."

"Hello My name is Hinamori, Momo, but you can call me Momo," she said with a smile.

"Why won't you kid come in and talk," the woman said.

We all went inside the house, it was small, but to me it felt…warm and homey. We sat around a table, Toshiro and I place the jars of candy on the table, for everyone to enjoy. The woman came in with tea for us to drink, but left right after serving us.

"Toshiro, was that your grandmother. She's very kind."

"Hmm…Oh yes that's my grandma, she wont be sitting with us because she needs her rest. But Momo will do."

"Hey, what does that suppose to mean? Any way…Tell me how the academy is going for you guys."

"Well I've been attending since last year, but everyone tries to stay as far as they can from me."

"Ok, I guess."

"Their doing it again, isn't they Shiro-chan?"

"What do you mean their doing it again?"

"You know the reason the kids would avoid me, and the students would pick on me…" Toshiro began, "well they think I'm dangerous and I would pick fights a bat, because of my looks. My white hair, my looks, and even my height."

"You, his grandmother, and I are the only people that would stay with his, and be with him. You and I are the only friends he has because of this."

I feel so sad; I can't imagine how hat life can be. I would be in tears and…Alone. What? Is this my tears? They just came out, and I can't stop, this is so sad. I guess I'm crying for him, right know, I feel as if my eyes are going to slip out of my head, from all the tears coming out.

"Mint-chan, what's wrong," Momo asked

"It's nothing. I can feel the loneliness of Toshiro-kun's heart. It's just crying out for someone, I felt on the first day of school, but I didn't feel it this strong, before," I said with my hand in my face.

I got out of my sit and came up to Toshiro, and hugged him, as I cried in his arms. Moments later I began to feel warm drops, on my shoulder coming from Toshiro. So we stayed their hugging each other crying until the time came for me to head back home, before Kaito comes looking for me. I said good-bye to Toshiro, as Momo and I walked back to the serrate.

Their you have it. I know I took long, I was sick, and had a case of writers block, but I promise the next one will be long. Well I hope you liked it, and pleas Review. I love reviews.

Love Karin-chan.
