Hinata was put into the critical part of hospital. The male had passed out after looking up to Karin. The said girl sat outside his room while he was getting treated. She sat on her brothers lap on the floor. The male held her close as she cried softly.
Ichigo, knew that Karin felt horrid for what she did. She pretty much ripped the skin of her comrade and burned him. The male took the girls hand then looked up to the boring old ceiling. He stroked the girls hand feeling as she hid her face in his haori and felt her close her eyes.
The 5th seat had quickly found out the reason, to why Karin hid herself in the haori. It was her protection. She felt safe and secure when holding the white cloth. The male found it understandable. The girl could defend for herself but she couldn't comfort herself. She needed someone to be there for her.
It was then that Ichigo realised how important Kon was to the girl. It wasn't just the perverted Mod soul. It was her safety while being alone, and having no friends, in such a weird and different place. The male wrapped his arms securly around the girl then watched as a few of the squad members of the fourth division walked past.
They gave the two, strange looks then walked on turning the corner. Ichigo sighed then saw a coffee being held out to him. The male took it noticing Rangiku and Kon who sat happily on her shoulder. When the rabbit saw the crying girl. He hopped off and slid his little blue body between hers and Ichigos.
The girl held the rabbit close, allowing tears to fall onto the rabbit. Rangiku noticed the tears then put a hand onto her head. She bent down to her then shook her head. She gave her a smile before walking off in a rush.
Ichigo took a swig of the coffee then gave the cup to Karin as she took a sip of the drink and placed it onto the marble floor. She rubbed Kon's ears then turned to see Toshiro walking towards them.
He stopped, witnessing the Kurosaki's. Karin looked at him from the side so he couldn't see her hollow like eyes. He walked over to Ichigo as he guestured for him to come closer. Ichigo clenched his fist then punched the male under the chin, knocking him back against the wall.
The white haired male was about to scream out at the male but noticed how Karin was sitting. He watched as the girl whispered something and a blue ball came hurtling towards him. The male felt his jaw, and felt the pain leave his sore jaw.
"Why are you here?" Ichigo looked to the door then looked back to the male who was waiting for is reply.
"Hinata got hurt, badly. So we are waiting for him to wake up" Ichigo shrugged. Karin gritted her teeth at her brothers words. He didn't just get hurt. Karin hurt him. The girl felt close to Hinata. She could talk to him without any fear.
She could rant on about what ever and he would listen and laugh with her. He was extremely understanding. He also, when Karin never knew it, looked out for her in the academy. Karin, when she looked back, saw how he would have her back and defend her from the shadow. It was greatly appreciated that he would have her back.
Karin looked up to the door as a male with blonde hair walked out. Ichigo recognised him but the girl did not. Though that didn't stop Karin from jumping up into the air and gave him a death glare, if he dared to give her bad news.
The male looked into the girls yellow eyes, then reclined back. Ichigo gave him a glare, not wanting him to say a word about the ideas. The blonde regained his posture then announced.
"The male is fine, he is up. You can see-" was all he managed before Karin pushed him into the wall and rushed into room. She noticed the male on the bed. He was facing the window, away from her. The girl walked over slowly, eyeing the male as he turned and have her a sad smile.
"...Hinata...I..." She whispered walking over to the bed. The male lifted his hand up to her and Karin happily took his hand within her own. She sat on a chair looking down to the ground, not sure what to say to him.
"Karin, are you okay?" The girl looked up with sad eyes and with shock at the words. Was she okay? She was peachy compared to the state of her friend, why was he asking her? To anger her? No, he wasn't that kind of person. He wouldn't try to irritate her.
She shook her head then looked down, she took a deep breath, whispering, "I am fine, how are you?" Hinata sat up slowly shaking his head. He lifted her chin giving her a soft smile.
"You are lying, you wouldn't have been doing what you were if you were happy" Karin looked behind her noticing Ichigo and Toshiro.
The girl nodded, "Sorry, it's just...I was throwing my anger and stress away, but that is not important" Hinata nodded then frowned.
"Yeah, the important thing right now, is for you to realise, that you belong with us" Karin only managed to nod. She didnt want to point out that the most important thing was for him to get better.
Karin stood up then headed out the room. She headed towards the 11th barracks. When she walked in she put on her fake smile. She watched two soul reapers, engaged in a battle. Karin walked over to Ikakku who was sitting beside his friend Yumichika on the boring wooden floors. The girl took a seat then pulled her mask down. She watched their fights and began to analysis their technique. She could see many holes their was in their strategy. She could predict the others moves. The girl watched as those two girls she despised walked into the dojo.
The blonde one gave her a dirty look. They looked at her again, with her hollow like eyes and her hollow mask. They screamed then pulled there swords out.
"Cero" Karin whispered pointing her finger at the floor at their feet. The two held their swords tightly and rushed towards the girl.
Karin looked at their feets, not from shying away, but getting a good angle of how they stepped. That was the first thing she did. She side stepped but one girl managed to grab her. They threw her to the ground and shoved a sword into the back of her clothes pinning her down some.
They grabbed her white mask and began to pull it off her face. Karin let out a wail, at the feeling. She could feel her mask breaking as it was being ripped from her face. The girl had tears fall down her yellow eyes. The girls screams could be heard from basically anywhere in the soul society.
The girl closed her eyes, then heard a large scream, "GET THE HELL OF MY LITTLE SISTER BEFORE I KILL YOU" the two girls were roughly pushed into a wall. Ichigo wrapped his arms around his sister and she shook from the pain. Ichigo looked to Yumichika and Ikakku.
"You know this is my little sister, why didn't you stop them from hurting her?" He snapped, holding his sister who was exhausted from the pain.
The two squad members from the 11th squad, looked at each other in sadness. They didn't realise that the girl happened to me Karin's sister. Yes, they knew, but it slipped their minds. They didn't think to stop the fight at all.
Karin sighed, "Why do the death gods hate me. I fell in lo-I never did anything wrong to them" Ichigo smiled at her slip up. He watched as the girl blushed deeply "Why couldn't I, have just went to hell instead or just started again. Am i being punished?" Ichigo shook is head.
"Karin, don't say such things. We love you here. Please don't say such things" Karin shook her head standing up.
"I don't want to live eternity as a monster. I don't want to be a soul reaper, i don't wanna be an arrancar. For my 15th birthday, do you think i asked to die that day. To have my strong brother, break down. For my sister to cry. No, i asked that Toshiro would fall in love me. And now he hates me as i can't tell him any of my problems" The girl stormed off in anger with tears pooling down her face. She stopped in the middle of where she was.
She had just confessed to her brother that she loved Toshiro. She had confessed in front of a few people. Karin felt even more frustrated than normal. She was such an idiot. She wanted to jump off a bridge and die. She didn't want to be Karin Kurosaki anymore...she didn't want to be anybody.
Ichigo stood in the dojo, with a smile on is face. True he was sad that his sister wanted to have never been giving her a second chance, but the fact that she blurted out her love for the small white haired captain. It made him chuckle, he knew that she liked him. It was obvious, she would tend to stare at him, for a few extra unnecessary seconds. The hug they shared the day that she had died. It wasn't an ordinary hug. It had different emotions within that simple hug.
The male turned to see a red headed person, with a red tunic on and large black boots. Ichigo watched as he grabbed the girls necks and held them to to the wall with anger. Ichigo walked over to the male then put a hand on his shoulder.
"Why stop me? You wanna ring their necks out. I wanna snap their necks. Why would you stop me? They tried to kill her, they tried to hurt her in the academy. I will not allow Karin to suffer. Hyorinmaru agrees, with me" He snapped, his grip on their necks getting tighter and tighter.
The girls coughed from the lack of oxygen. Kaze grinned then felt a hand on his shoulder, the male turned his head to see Ichigo.
"Kaze, yes, i wanna, inflict the pain they put on my sister...but"
"...you're a captain, and it will be bad if you kill these girls. They tried to kill Karin. Does she not matter?" Ichigo was about to speak when Kaze let the girls go, they fainted to the floor the loss of oxygen.
"Now, go find Karin and tell her you don't care about her confession, if you ignore it, she won't like it. So go tell her, that you don't care, and if you are interested i know that, Toshiro is having, sex dreams about the girl" Ichigo looked to the zanpaktou then rolled his eyes. The zanpaktou gave Ichigo a large grin before disappearing into the air.
Karin stood their tears falling from her yellow eyes. She didn't want to cry, but she was so frustrated. She didn't know what to do. Karin felt a pair of arms embrace her tightly. Karin rested her head against the woman's chest. She felt fingers go through her hair. Karin knew how the kind woman was.
Retsu Unohana.
Karin closed her eyes as the woman held her close, comforting the girl. She lifted the girls chin and looked into her hollow, yet beautiful, eyes. The woman handed the girl a tissue then lead her to the fourth division.
The woman led the girl into her own office. She poured the girl and herself a cup of green tea. Karin took a seat then accepted the hot drink. She sipped slowly as the woman studied her carefully.
"Karin, what is the matter?" Karin rubbed the tears from her eyes then looked to the cup. She looked to her reflection withinn the green tea. She thought about what she wanted to say before speaking.
"I don't want to be here, in soul society. I am so frustrated. I belong in hueco mundo. Not here" Retsu shook her head then put her cup down. She put her hands onto the girls knees and and began to talk.
"You belong here. Hueco Mundo is a horrid place. This is the right place. Trust me. What else is the matter, that can't be just it?"
"I told my brother a secret that i didn't want him to know," The woman smiled gently then lifted the girls head up by pushing her chin up.
"Look me in the eyes and tell me your secret. It won't be spread. Trust me" Karin nodded then swollowed.
"For my 15th birthday, i...erm...wished that...Toshiro would fall in love with me" Retsu smiled at the girl then put her arms around her. She gave the girl a warm smile then sat back on her seat.
"Do you feel better. If you were never here, how could your wish come true? Toshiro could never fall in love with you, if you were never here, by his side" Karin smiled at the woman then nodded. She appreciated the advice Retsu had given her. It reminded her of Yuzu.
"Karin, everyone else may see you as a monster, but you are far from one. Life is testing you, throwing hardships towards you. Stride to the thing you want, and ignore all the comments"
The girl nodded then took another sip of her green tea. Karin jumped when the door opened to revel a man with blonde hair, in the style of Elvis. He wore blue glasses and the look on his face, he could tell it was urgent.
Without speaking Unohana stood up and followed him to the patient, she had to treat. Karin followed beside her then froze as she spotted the two girls that tried to attack her. Retsu rushed over then looked at them.
Both of their wind pipes were crushed. The woman looked to Karin then brought her over. She began to apply kido to one of the girls Throats. Karin did the same for the other, thought she didn't know why.
'Karin, that was my doing. Haha...I wanted them to feel the pain that you felt' Kaze said nervously within her mind. Karin shrugged as she applied the kido to the girl then stopped. She pointed her finger before whispering,
"Cero" a ball of light green energy was softly thrown towards the girls throat. Karin threw another at her friend then watched as the girls both opened their eyes softly.
"Unohana, i got to tell you something" the woman turned round then nodded her head. "It was my zanpaktou that did this to them. They pinned me to the floor and tried to rip my mask off. He was only defending for me" the woman nodded then walked into the corridor.
"These ladies, are to remain here, until further questioning" the woman walked out with Karin following behind her.
The females walked back into the office. Karin took a seat then watched as Unohana began to write stuff down on a piece of paper then looked to the girl. "Don't worry dear. You won't be held responsible. I am going to write a report on what happened" the girl told the woman everything about what had happened.
Karin spent most of her day with Hinata. She nursed him, the whole day talking with each other. The girl was watching Hinata sleep. He was extremely tired from all the treatment he was getting injected into him. Karin ran her hands into his soft brown hair. She lay her head against his arm then ran her hands up his arm.
The girl touched his hair then ran her hands over his lips then lay her head back staring at the young male.
Toshiro stood in line with his lieutenant behind him. They were listening to the head captain talk about the walls that needed painted. Toshiro felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He ignored the vibrate and felt it vibrate it once again. He tried to ignore it but, it kept buzzing.
The meeting was over within minutes. Toshiro grabbed his phone and looked at it. Toshiro looking at the number before dropped his phone. Jushiro walked over then looked to the male with sadness.
"My gran. She's ill. I need to see her" Jushiro stopped him then shook his head.
"Take someone with you" The male nodded then flashed stepped to the only person he could take with out being scared.
Karin put her mask on feeling slightly cold. She felt a hand grab her, she turned seeing Toshiro with sad eyes. He grabbed her hand then lead her away into the Rukongai District. Toshiro was quickly in a woman's house then let Karin go.
"Gran" he whispered to the woman that was lying on the floor. Karin rushed over and put a hand on her heart. She closed her eyes and focus her healing kido on her heart.
"You're the kind girl from the other day" the woman breathed. Karin smiled then nodded to the woman.
"Toshiro, is she your girlfriend? She is extremly cute" Toshiro blushed but shook his head.
"She is a friend" Karin pouted towards the gran, who caught her pout. She smiled at the girl then grabbed her grandsons hand.
"You look sad" She said. The woman watched as the male let tears fall down his cheeks. Karin kept the kido at her heart. The woman grabbed the girls hand and softly put it on the males. Toshiro looked towards Karin who never looked his way.
"Look after him" the woman whispered. Karin nodded as the woman closed her eyes. As the womans eyes lid fell closed, Toshiro lowered his head crying softly. The woman began to disappear into nothing. Karin put her arms around him and gently rocked him back and forth as he cried.
He had his arms around the girl, his head resting on her shoulder. Tears fell down onto the girl. Karin rubbed circles on his back. The girl took a deep breath then lifted his chin. The male stared into the girls hollow eyes then lowered his head once again. Karin looked up to the ceiling then felt Toshiro move. Karin looked back down to him.
"What happened to your eyes" Karin looked down again. She hoped to find her lie on the floor. "It's eye drops. It helps with certain girl problems" she lied. Toshiro cocked his head to the side, confused on what she meant.
"My period" she said. To most girls this would have been slightly embarrassing but for her, she didn't care.
"I thought you haven't got it yet" Karin laughed then shook her head.
"I'm old enough to have sex, to get married. I have had this since i was 10" Toshiro smiled to the girl even though he was rather sad.
"I still see you as that little girl, who kicked her ball nearly onto the road" Karin nodded.
"I am not that young little girl anymore. I am old enough to care for myself, most of the time"
Karin stood up taking Toshiro's hand. The girl lead him to a house not that far away. She opened the door and walked into the house. When she entered she spotted her mother sitting having a cup of tea.
The woman put her cup down then walked over to Toshiro. She put her arms around him then smiled.
"I know about your Gran. It's okay" Toshiro didn't want to cry infront of the person, seeng as he didn't know who the hell she was.
"Mum, can we stay here the night?" Toshiro didn't move, so this is Misaki. True he had met her before but he can barley remember her.
"Sure, stay here" Karin smiled then took a seat on the couch.
"Mum, where is your bath. I stink. I have been with Hinata all day and i got into some stupid fight with these girls" Misaki showed her the way to the bath. Toshiro sat on the couch, not sure what to say to the woman. He watched as Misaki set beds up for them. The male took his chance and knocked on the bathroom door. After hearing enter, he walked into see Karin sitting in a large bath. Her mouth was in the soapy water. Toshiro walked closer to her then lay his back against the bath so he wouldn't be tempted to look at her.
"Karin, i wanna apologize. It's just that..." Karin put a hand over his mouth.
"I understand. Don't worry. I haven't found the way to tell you. That is why i haven't" Toshiro nodded then left the room.
Karin was out the bath after 10 minutes. She had fallen asleep in the bath, so her mum had to pull her out. The girl was in a large fluffy towel. She was taken into a private room were the mother dried her off and put her in a frilly long night gown.
The girl was put on a large double bed that was in the woman's spare room. Toshiro was already in the bed when Karin was brought through.
"Don't look to her face. She doesn't want you to see it" the woman lay the girl down. Toshiro held her within his arms. The male put the sheets over her then closed his eyes.
Toshiro held her close as he drifted of to sleep. He kissed her cheek then whispered, "Don't appear in my dreams. Hyorinmaru laughs"
Hope you enjoyed xD
