Hi everyone. Oh, I'm very sorry for the veeeeryyyyy late update. It's because of a thing called school that kept me away from my writing. Anyway, here you go, hope you like it.
P.S. Guess who's making a special guesting? Ichigo and Aizen!
Surprise Visits
Karin had just waked up from her dreamless sleep. She stood there and lazily stretched her arms and folded the blanket gingerly and placed it on the couch. As she was cleaning the place, she noticed the blood stain on the wall. She remembered everything that had happened last night, which made her strangely lonely. When she thought everything in the room was already clean, she picked up the soccer ball Toushiro had bought for her and walked out of the office. She felt remorse of the fact that she was jealous of his affection to Hinamori, and she vowed that she will ignore anything she felt for him and act like she never admired him most.
She strode off to the training grounds to meet Satoushi. She wanted to teach him soccer, so they can play sometimes. When she got there, she didn't sensed Satoushi's reiatsu but another person's. She looked up at the roof of the Dojo and she saw Toushiro sitting there, and he seemed to be thinking about something. Could it be Hinamori?
"Hey Toushiro!" She called him from her place and he looked down.
"What do you want?"
"Have you seen Satoushi?"
"He can't come here, he have something to do in the headquarters," he said quietly as he jumped off the roof and walk away, ignoring Karin as he pass by her. He stopped abruptly when he heard her spoke,
"Hey, do you want to play soccer?" She asked him brightly, seizing the ball by her feet. But he continued on his pacing as if he didn't hear her. She grunted loudly and kicked the ball hard towards him. But he did a back flip and kicked the ball towards her direction, just like he did when she kicked the ball towards him at the real world, then he marched away from her silently.
"Are you still worried about her?"
Toushiro stopped on his tracks and said, "It's none of your business," which made her frown.
"Look, if you sulk all day, nothing will happen to you," she said as she made the ball roll towards him. "You should trust her, she will accept the truth someday, and it just takes time. Why don't you do something that will make you feel better?"
Toushiro faced her and kicked the ball towards her and she blocked it with her foot. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
They played a little game of soccer at the grassy grounds. They used boxes as their goals and they ran around the training grounds like they did at the real world, well, except that it was just the two of them. Karin was running towards the goal and her eyes were focused on the ball, she didn't notice that Toushiro was standing in front of her, ready to steal the ball. She accidentally bumped into him and she fell on top of him. There, they rested and their faces were inches away from each other. Karin felt his hot breath brushed her skin that made her hair stood on its ends. Toushiro stared at her face, and he was battling the urge to kiss her. They both stood up, both pink in the face, and Karin picked the ball up and sat down the grass. Toushiro sat down beside her, looking flustered and flushed.
"Thanks, soccer did made me feel better," he said quietly at her and she beamed at him.
"No problem." She said casually. "Whenever I feel bad, I always play soccer. So I thought it might help you too."
"Yeah, it did. I should have trusted her and be patient," he said regretfully.
"Yeah, and try not to screw up your face. It's scary, and I think it's the reason why she cried last night; you freaked her out," she said in an ironically reproachful tone. Toushiro scowled at him.
"Shut up," he said bitterly and Karin laughed out loud.
"See? That's why many thought you're a gangster from an elementary--!!"
"KUROSAKI!" He shouted as he chased after her. They ran around in circles at the open space, and Toushiro noticed her smiling face. Well, to tell the truth, it's not soccer that made him feel better, but the sight of her smiling face. He wished he would stay like this forever, being with her was better than anything else. But just then, this short-lived heaven was cut-off by a single ring of his phone. He stopped on his tracks and grudgingly answered the phone.
"Hello?" He said bitterly and he heard Rangiku over the line,
"Taichou! Commander- General Yamomoto has organized a meeting with the captains now. You should be there, urgent!"
"Okay, I'm in," he said firmly and he jumped over the roof of the dojo. Karin noticed him leaving.
"Where are you going, Toushiro?" She asked loudly. He stopped and looked over his shoulder to see her standing, her arms crossed.
"I'm sorry, but we have an emergency meeting." He said seriously. "Take care," and he used shunpo to leave that Karin didn't notice him make a single step. Karin was surprised by what he said that her face turned red. She stood there, looking as though she was paralyzed, but in the inside, she was dancing the conga because of sudden happiness. But, she at the corner of her mind, she thought that she betrayed her own words. She promised herself that she will not fall in love, and focus first on her priorities. She walked quietly back to the 10th division headquarters. She was in deep thought that she didn't notice someone walking towards her direction, and she bumped against a familiar man.
" I'm very sorry," she said quietly as she looked up to see his face. She was shocked to see an orange-haired boy with the same expression as hers.
"K-Karin?" Ichigo said as though he wasn't sure of he was seeing, Karin didn't know what to do, what to say. She was so happy to see his brother safe but scared of the fact that he might get angry of her.
"Ichi-nii," she said nervously. Ichigo's eyes went wide as she talked; she was really his sister.
"What are you doing here?" He croaked quietly, he didn't know what he will do. He was even shocked of the fact that his normal, boyish, soccer playing sister was wearing shinigami clothes, and was in Soul Society, "What are you doing here……..?"
"I.. Ichi-nii… I wanna help," she said firmly, gaining some confidence.
"Help what? You don't know what you're doing," he said coldly, now that he already realized what's happening.
"I know everything, Ichi-nii! That's why I am here, I wanna protect our family!" She said as she gripped his sleeve. He frowned.
"Protect? What do you think I'm doing, playing around?" He said ironically as he shrugged off from her grip. "Karin, you're too young to go and fight here. GO HOME!" Ichigo's eyes were slits when he gripped her arm and dragged her from the headquarters. She felt tears fell down her cheek and she felt reluctant at the fact that she cried a lot since she knew everything. But she shouldn't let her brother ruin her plans, so she kicked him hard on the back that made him swear in pain.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Ichigo shouted at her. Karin held out her smallest finger and stared at him.
"If anything goes wrong, I will go back home. I promise," she said, her eyes focused on his. Ichigo hesitated at first and sighed.
"Oh damn. You're being sure about this?" He asked her casually as he folded his arms. Karin snorted of fury; his brother didn't seem to bother the logic of her being here.
"What do you think I'm here for? To play soccer with the shinigami people?!" she said loudly at him. Ichigo frowned at her that made her flustered. So she breathed heavily and talked as calmly as possible, "Ichi-nii, remember this: I will go back to our house if I made anything fussy around here. You get me?"
"All right," he said bitterly as he entwined his smallest finger with hers. Karin was very happy that his brother permitted her to stay. But she was a little uncertain of her promise. She may do something wrong, and she will go back and forget about being a shinigami. "Oh I have to leave, I promised Hirako that I will go back early," he said as he turned around and walked away. Ichigo stopped and stood rigid when he felt Karin embrace him tight.
"Thank you, you understand me," she said softly. Ichigo smiled.
"It can't be avoided. I'm your brother."
Karin was training alone at the dojo. She was practicing her skills at swordsmanship when she heard people talking outside. She slid the door open and saw two figures standing at the grassy field. She was shocked when she saw Momo Hinamori with a tall man with brown hair, who wore a white kimono; an opposite of a shinigami. He was really familiar, she thought.
"Aizen-taichou…" Momo mumbled as she hugged him tightly.
"Hinamori; we are going to a very beautiful place, where you will be treated greater than a shinigami." He said with a smirk on his face. He swung his hand on open space and door like portal had appeared out of nowhere. Karin remembered something. She saw Ikkaku fought someone who wore the same kind of clothing and used the same kind of portal. He has enormous powers, and they seem to transform when he called his zanpakutou. Could he be…..?
"…………..don't worry… your Aizen-Taichou is fine, everything will be fine when we go to our kingdom." He said calmly. Karin felt her heart skip a beat when she heard his name. Then she ran as fast as she could to stop Momo from going with Aizen, unsheathing her sword as she ran.
"Hinamori-SAN get away from him!" She yelled at them. Aizen saw her and he smiled at her as Momo held him tighter.
"Don't tell Hitsugaya." He said slyly as he conjured a dark red light from his hand. Karin backed away and awakened her Zanpakutou. When she was about to attack, the cero hit her badly and she hit the wall, breaking her back, as she lied unconscious on the ground.
Oh, Is it okay? haha. I'm very uncertain If I made this chapter good. But anyway, I working on the next chapter. I promise I will update sooner. Peace Out!
But I will give you another spoiler. Toushiro will go to Las Noches and Karin will be imprisoned!!
