Okay back with more Bleach. Sorry I haven't been writing in a while, my Spirit Master Academy took freaking three days to finish, no kidding. So I haven't been thinking that much about other things. Anyway, now we can continue the story. Thank you for the reviews so far!

The Stay with the Prince of Ice
Karin was following Rangiku to Toshiro's office. He had accepted taking care of her, but he was still a bit unsure with Rangiku taking care of her when he was gone.
"So, Toshiro's not I his office? Then where is he?" Karin asked, a bit curious about what a captain did. Rangiku looked at her and saw she was only curious about it. She won't be just curious when I'm done with them. Rangiku thought. You mean when WE'RE done with them. Hineko said. Rangiku mentally laughed and smiled. Karin not feeling safe with the way she was. Why is she so silent? I've a bad feeling about this. She's up to something. Karin thought. Well if it will hurt you, I'll make her pay. FlameWolf said. Karin laughed mentally.
"He's in a captains meeting. He's going to tell the other captains about him taking you in. And I bet captain Kurotsuchi will ask so many questions that he might even tell them why he took you in." Rangiku explained. Karin looked at the ground after she said that. Why DID he take me in, anyway? She thought. Rangiku saw her change of behavior and thought of something. "If you're wondering why he took you in, it's because he doesn't want you to feel alone here. Me and the captain are the only ones you trust counting out Ichigo and Rukia. So he wanted you to feel safe and not alone. He also has an idea of what makes you tick, and how to handle your personality." She said. Knows what makes me tick? Since when did he know that? She thought. FlameWolf didn't have an answer for that one. She has been with Karin since she was a baby, but she never knew she knew who Toshiro was.
When they reached the office, Rangiku slowly opened the door and let Karin in. She stepped slowly in and looked around. There was a desk where she guessed Toshiro did his work, a bench with a table in front of it. A lot of books on bookshelves. No wonder he's so smart. Karin thought, laughing to herself. There wasn't really much else in there, so Karin went to the bench and sat down. Rangiku came over, but she first looked at the mountain of paper work on the desk.
"Is that all Toshiro's papers?" Karin asked her eyes widen with surprise. Rangiku saw her reaction and decided not to lie about it.
"Not just his, mine as well. If he can't do it or it's my turn, I do it." she explained, sighing when she was done. I guess she hate's paper work. Karin thought. Maybe you would too if you had been in her situation. FlameWolf chuckled. I don't want to be a lieutenant. And if I had been, I would have taken my job seriously. She snapped back at her. FlameWolf laughed hard, and Karin just huffed at her. "So, is there something else you want to ask?" Rangiku asked her. Karin looked at her, thinking if there was something else. Then she remembered that man who had taken her here in the first place.
"Who was that man who took me here? He opened a kind of gate and dragged me in. Is he a Soul Reaper like you?" Karin asked. Rangiku looked at her, a bit unsure how to answer. She sighed and answered her question.
"Actually, we have no idea who he is. And what you described he pulled you into sounded like a Senkaimon, we use it to get to the world of the Living. How he was able to use it, I have no idea. We didn't even know he used that to bring you here." Rangiku finished. Wait, they didn't? The how come they didn't ask how he got me here? She thought, very confused. Rangiku saw her expression and had an idea why. "If you're wondering why we didn't ask you anything about how you got here's because we didn't know if you knew or not. We didn't want you to feel…unhelpful." Rangiku explained, hesitating to say the last word. Karin eyes widen.
"How did you know…I hate being useless?" she said very low. Rangiku looked at her and was going to answer, but someone beat her to it.
"It was Ichigo. He said you like to help if you can." They heard a familiar voice behind them. They both turned their heads and saw Toshiro in the door opening. "He said something about you not liking to be in the way, or something like that. He also said you hate not doing anything." He said in the end, laughing a bit. A vain on Karin's forehead popped. She jumped off the bench and yelled at Toshiro.
"What did you say?" Toshiro stopped laughing and saw how mad she was.
"What, you're telling me it's not true? You seemed pretty bored when you were just sitting there." He snapped back. Karin went closer to him and gave him a dangerous glare. He returned it and stepped a few steps in so he could close the door. Perfect. Rangiku thought. None of them were paying attention to her so she was able to walk a bit without them even looking at her.
"How the heck do you know Ichigo didn't make that up?" Karin asked him, still annoyed. He shook his head and just stared at her. Rangiku was now right behind Karin, And Toshiro noticed her. What is she up to? He thought. Hyourinmaru, keep an eye on her. He ordered his Zanpaktou. Hyourinmaru nodded and kept a close eye on his lieutenant. Toshiro's attention went back to Karin. He noticed she was really mad, but upset too. Why she's upset? Is it because of what I said? He thought, not showing in his eyes that he was worried. He has Hyourinmaru keeping an eye on me, but he won't be able to stop me from doing this. Rangiku thought. She pushed Karin towards Toshiro. Karin didn't expect it so she flew towards him very quickly. She felt pain in her left ankle and gave a low yelp in pain. Toshiro grabbed her and he backed up into the door by how quick she came towards him. He felt some pain in his back. Ugh…what's Rangiku thinking? She knows Karin just got out of the hospital, so why the heck is she doing this? Toshiro thought. I apologize, master. I wasn't able to figure out what she was trying to do before it was too late. Hyourinmaru apologized. Toshiro shook his head, meaning he didn't mind.
"Aww, you two are so cute together!" Rangiku said, in a very weird way. Both Toshiro and Karin noticed how close they were and they both froze for a second. Karin tried to get away from him; she also got ready to apologize. But she felt a sting of pain in her left ankle and fell nearly to the ground. Toshiro grabbed her before she could hit the ground.
"Hey, you OK?" Toshiro asked her. She got up straight, and Rangiku stopped talking and had a worried look on her face.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine," Karin said. She tried to get up, but the pain made her fall again. Toshiro caught her again.
"Yeah, sure you are." He said with sarcasm. Karin gave him a mad look, but he just smiled at her. He took her left arm over his shoulder and let her lean on him over to the bench. He put her down and went over to his desk. Rangiku told her captain she was going to get some tea for them. She flash stepped away and left alone. Karin was sitting on the bench, feeling a bit awkward. I'll leave you two love birds alone. You won't do anything as long as I'm here. FlameWolf chuckled. Karin blushed mentally, and started squalling at her. T-t-that's ridicules, I don't have anything to say to him! Anyway, where are you going? She asked after she was done squalling at her. Just around the Soul Society. Since you've recovered, I can walk around this place like a Zanpaktou. FlameWolf explained. Karin was still a bit confused, but didn't ask any more questions. FlameWolf left her alone with Toshiro. She tried to get up, but the pain came back, a lot more painful this time.
"OW!" she yelped. Toshiro was sorting paper work. When she yelped, he looked at her and saw holding her left ankle. Guess it hurts more than she thought. I hope it's not too bad. He thought, worried. Hyourinmaru was going to say something, but something else caught his attention. Toshiro noticed the change in his Zanpaktou and didn't really know why. What's wrong, Hyourinmaru? He asked. I sense someone, but it's not a Zanpaktou. I'll go and check. He said. Toshiro nodded mentally and his Zanpaktou left. Toshiro was done sorting the papers and went over to Karin.
"Does your leg hurt? Let me see." He said. Karin was about to oppose, but Toshiro had already taken her leg and had already taken of her shoe and sock. Karin started to blush, but luckily for her Toshiro didn't notice. He saw her leg and his eyes widen. The entire ankle was swollen and some already turned purple. How's she able to actually handle this? He thought.
"Really Toshiro, I-I'm fine." She exclaimed, laughing nervously. Toshiro looked at her, and he didn't believe a word she just said. Well, I'll have to prove to her how badly she's injured. He thought. He tilted her ankle a little to the right, and she yelped in pain. Toshiro's ears hurt after her yelp.
"Yeah, you're just fine." He said, rolling his eyes. He let go of her foot and went over to a draw. He got some bandage from it and went over to Karin again. "I always have some of this laying somewhere in case something like this happens." He said. He held her leg and started bandaging her. Karin looked at him and was starting to feel a bit awkward.
"Toshiro?" she asked. Toshiro looked at her, when he was done bandaging her ankle.
"Thank you. And I'm sorry."
There was a nice breeze in the Soul Society. Hyourinmaru was trying to find out who he had sensed.
"It wasn't a Zanpaktou that I know. So what else could it be?" he said to himself. He went over to the Sokyo Hill, where Karin appeared when she came to the Soul Society the first time. There he saw who he was looking for, but didn't expect what he saw.
Okay, I'm gonna stop here. So I wonder who Hyourinmaru sees. Please review if you like, hat, have ideas for me or if I've spelled something wrong or have the wrong name. I don't really remember everything, so I'm sorry if anything is wrong. What I'm mostly talking about are these two things: Senkaimon and Sokyo Hill.
