Chapter 10
* Fated to love you Mr. Jerk. *
"Wow, take that thing away from me or I'm going to shoot it into tiny pieces" Slowly Karin move backwards trying to get away from the eyelash curler that Anna was holding in her hand. Anna quickly moved forwards and knocked Karin's Jericho 941 of from her grip.
"You're forgetting something Karin, I'm also a police officer so I have to deal with this kind of resistant almost every day." Anna smirked and bent down to take Karin's pistol from the floor then put it inside her jacket pocket.
Karin, dressed in her wedding gown, rubbed her sore hand where Anna had attack her. "Come on Anna, I don't want to wear make-up or use that thing" Karin said sadly, her voice pleading while she pointed at the eyelash curler in Anna's hand.
"Don't be such a baby Karin! We need the guests to feel impressed with your appearance. If not they will start to talk."
"Let them talk then! As long I do not have to use that thing!" Karin retorted. She gulped when she saw Anna's angry face. Karin laughed nervously before she sat down in front of the mirror. It's better not to provoke an already angry Anna, if you want to live and see tomorrow.
Anna smiled sweetly when she saw Karin behaving like she wanted. "Good girl!" She praised Karin before she started to apply make-up on Karin.
"Now stay still if not…" Anna's words trail off, threatening her. Karin smiled, she knows what will Anna do to her if she does not follow her orders. No matter how tomboy she is, she still doesn't want to walk down the aisle with a black eye or limping, no matter how cool the idea is.

The wedding is just like a fairy tale. Kisuke Urahara walked Karin down the aisle. Her eyes locked on Toshiro, standing tall and waiting for her at the end of the aisle. He looked breathtakingly handsome when he smiled at her.
She tore her eyes from Toshiro, and searched for familiar face. Sitting in the front row were her brothers, her sister in-law, and her adoptive mother waving happily in her direction, smiling. She knew she had made the right decision as she slowly approached Toshiro, arm linked with her adoptive father's arm.
He is the right one for her, and she knows it deep inside her core.

Two years later…
"Toshiro, I don't think this is our baby" a worn-out Karin said softly. In her hand was a little baby boy with a tuft of white hair and a pair of big, bright turquoise eyes staring at her. Slowly the baby yawned and closed his eyes, falling fast asleep.
"What do you mean? I'm the one who pulled this thing out and now you are saying this thing isn't ours! There is no way I took the wrong baby." Toshiro said hurriedly.
His heart slams painfully in his chest, while he waits for her answer. Is this baby another man's baby? No it can't be, his Karin is always loyal to him and only him. He knows that as clearly as he knows how to breathe.
"It is not a thing, it a human being, for God's sake!"
"Talk to yourself. You are the one who refers to him as 'it'!" Toshiro retorts back. "What do you mean by saying this is not our baby?" Toshiro asks her again.
"This is your clone! Not our baby!" Karin said, her face sad. "He looks nothing like me! From the color of his hair, his eyes, and the shape of his mouth, his ears, even his nose! Where are my genes in him?" Karin said again, this time dejectedly.
Toshiro blinks his eyes several times, not believing what he had heard. A slow smile starts to curve before the smile turned into a loving laughter. "So that's why said you said he is not our child. I get it now." Toshiro said, while laughing.
"Just wait Toshiro. You won't be laughing when I get my pistol back! You will be running for your life you… you Mr. Jerk!" Karin answers him angrily, her face flushed.
"Mr. Jerk? I don't think those are the right words to describe me honey" Toshiro said sweetly, a smirk plastered on his face, as he bent down and whispered next to her left ear. "I think Mr. Handsome are the right words to describe me" he added smiling.
"Oh, you will definitely be running for your life after this, you arrogant man!" Karin said laughing. Slowly, Karin put her baby, -okay maybe not her, he's theirs, even though he does look like Toshiro's younger clone- beside her. She smiled as her baby makes little mew noises in his sleep.
Karin turned her head, her eyes searching for her lover's face before she smiles in his direction.
"Do you regret marrying me Karin?" Toshiro asked her, his eyes serious as he stared in her dark blue eyes.
"If I married you for your money or handsome face I'd probably regret it by now, marrying a real jerk like you. But, because I married you for who you are, I don't think the word 'regret' is the right one. I'm happy with you for who you are and for how you make me feel every time when I'm with you, Toshiro."
"I love you" She whispered softly. Yawning she suddenly felt tired. "I love you too" Toshiro answered back; slowly bending down to brush her forehead with a soft kiss.
"Sweet dreams, Miss Kurosaki"
"I'm no longer Miss Kurosaki, Mr. Hitsugaya. I'm now Mrs. Hitsugaya" Karin said smiling.
"Yes, Mrs. Hitsugaya. Mr. Hitsugaya shall take his leave now" Toshiro answered back, his turquoise eyes shining with happiness. He loves her and he knew this feeling will not change until his last breath.
"Oh, just press the button next to your bed if you need anything and I will come running for you, Karin" he said softly, closing the door behind him.
This Mr. Jerk had made her laugh, cry, worry, lose her control over her temper and understand what the true meaning of happiness is. She knew she could never replace him or find someone better for her.
Her heart had been caught by him and she knows she could surrender her heart to his keeping without feeling worried at the possibility of him breaking it. They are fated to love each other and she thanks God for having lead her to the man she loves with all her heart.
The end!
