Eat You Up
Chapter 9- Karin's Test Results
"Morning Toshi," Karin yawned as she cat stretched, curling up closer next to him.
"Mmm, morning. Want to get up now?" He asked draping his arm around her side.
"Mmm. Sure. So today's the day?" She said stretching as she sat up. Toshirou smiled lightly, he'd been doing that a lot lately. Something about Karin changed him, for the better.
"Yeah, I guess so," he said glancing at his fiancé. Karin sighed happily, leaning onto his chest.
"C'mon lets go get washed up and head downstairs," he said pulling her out of bed with himself.
"Karin-Chan! You two are finally up!" Yuzu said as they made their way downstairs to the kitchen.
"Yu, where's Tou-San?" Karin asked. Personally Toshirou was hoping that Isshin wasn't available at the time.
"FINALLY YOU TWO LOVEBIRDS DECIDED TO WAKE UP!" Isshin said as he made his grand entrance.
Well, a guy can hope.
"Good morning," Karin and Toshirou said synchronously.
"Actually, more like good evening, it's already 6 pm." Yuzu said as she started taking out the plates, as it was already dinnertime. (Man, they slept late. I've done it before )
Toshirou smelled the air, and caught a whiff of the delicious aroma, man Yuzu could cook. He looked at Karin, she looked a bit nauseous.
"You aright?" he whispered as they sat down.
"Yeah, I'm just fine." Karin replied as everyone took their places and put food onto their plates.
Toshirou noticed that Karin barely ate anything, and Yuzu and Isshin took notice of this too.
"Do you want anymore Karin-Chan?" Yuzu asked offeringly. Isshin gave her a pouty look and she just smiled.
"No, I'm fine. Just not that hungry,"
"Well, if you say so," Yuzu said slowly.
Isshin grinned one of his maniacal grins.
"Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you that Ichigo is coming home today!"
Oh shit. Toshirou and Karin both thought.
"When? When does Kurosaki get here?" Toshirou said, glancing at Karin.
"Oh about any second now!" Isshin said happily. And as if on cue, the doorbell rang.
"Oh I'll get it!" Yuzu said springing up from her seat to answer the door.
"Ichi-nii! Rukia-nee! You're here!" Yuzu exclaimed, so happy her brother came back.
"Yeah, we're back, Yu." Ichigo said as his eyes scanned the room and narrowed at the sight of Toshirou.
"What's he doing here?" Ichigo said breaking the happy moment by pointing at Toshirou.
"Didn't you know Ichi-nii? Toshirou-Kun is Karin-Chan's fiancé!" Yuzu squealed.
And to make matters worse, Isshin ran to Ichigo and promptly kicked him in the face.
Don't you just love family?
Ichigo held his cheek. "What the hell was that for?" Ichigo fumed.
This was not good. Toshirou glanced at Karin, who was beginning to look sickly again.
Karin covered her mouth with her hand and sprinted out of the room. Toshirou followed closely behind. He held back her hair as hre stomach rejected all of its little contents.
"All done?" Toshirou asked as Karin wiped her mouth.
She nodded feeling very weak, and rested herself against Toshirou's chest.
Ichigo watched as Karin ran out of the room, with the evil white haired Taichou following closely. He heard retching noises coming from the bathroom.
"Hey what's up with Karin?" He asked stopping all of the family commotion. Yuzu looked at Ichigo, with a small frown on her face.
"She isn't eating very much, and she seems to be throwing up a lot. I think she's getting the stomach flu."
Rukia looked at the crazy family. They were sooo naïve. Stomah flu, I think not Rukia thought.
"Well on a lighter note, who wants to eat dinner?" Yuzu asked smiling brightly. Ichigo's response was a growl from his stomach, and everyone laughed.
"Sue let's eat!" Rukia said smiling.
(Back in karin's room)
"So are you sure that you're alright?" Toshirou asked rubbing her back.
"Hmm, I'm fine. And will you stop asking?"
"No. You keep saying you are fine, when you clearly aren't," Toshirou stated plainly,"Besides, are we gonna tell them now or later?"
Karin sighed.
"Yeah we'll tell them now. Go finish your food and we'll tell them together."
"Fine. I'll be back in a bit," Toshirou said givingher a little kiss before leaving the room and heading back to the dysfunctional family downstairs.
Toshirou sat back down at the table, and began to finish his food, again. He could feel ichigo's eyes trying to glare a hole in his head.
"Where's Karin?" Yuzu asked Toshirou, worried about her twin.
"Ah, she's laying down. She'll be down in a little bit." Toshirou said finishing his rice.
Icigo glared even harde rat Toshirou, even Rukia's cold glare didn't dtere him.
"Who gave you permission to marry MY sister?" Ichigo spat out.
"I DID!" Isshin shouted gleefully. Toshirou rolled his eyes mentally."Is there a problem with that?"
"THE HELL THERE IS—"
Rukia's fist connected with ichigo's jaw.
"Be happy for them Ichigo." Rukia said finishing her meal. Ichigo rubbed his jaw, and settled for glaring at Toshirou once again.
(After Dinner)
Toshirou was now lounging in Karin's room, with her head resting on his lap. He was stroking her hair gently as his soul phone rang.
"Hello, Hitsugaya Toshirou here—"
"TAICHO! WHERE ARE YOU!" Rangiku's voice yelled from the phone.
"Urusai Matsumoto. Karin's sleeping. I'm at kurosaki's, now hush up." Toshirou said feeling a bit weary from listening to his Fukutaichou.
"Oh sorry Taichou, I was just wondering where you were. Orihime-Chan was as well. Wait," Rangiku paused," DID YOU SAY KUROSAKI'S HOUSE? ! ?"
Toshirou sighed. " Yes now what of it?"
"Did you pop the question Taichou?"
"If by that you mean, proposed, then yes, I did." He said into the phone.
"OOOH! She said yes didn't she? I'm sooo happy for you Taichou!"
Toshirou sweatdropped. If Karin was asleep in the beginning, she was mostlikely awake now.
He hung up his phone on his annoying Fukutaichou.
"Toshi. I've been thinking, Lets tell them now." Karin said getting up and pulling him down the staors.
The whole kurosaki family plus a Hitsugaya and Kuchiki were in the licing room. Karin was sitting almost in Toshirou's lap.
"Why's you call us kainr?" Ichigo said eyeing her sitting arrangement. Karin shifted uncomfortably.
"Uh…Well…" She said. She swallowed hard and held Toshirou's hand for comfort.
"Spit it out Karin." Ichigo said. Yuzu agreed with her brother. Isshin and Rukia remained silent.
"Well, ano…You have to promise not to overreact alright Ichi-nii?"
Ichigo grunted his response, otherwise Rukia would have forced it out of him.
"Uh…Well. You all know that Toshirou and I are together. Ano… We've been really…. Um … active in our relationship," Karin said awkwardly. Yuzu reddened at this comment, and Ichigo narrowed his eyes.
Karin nervously tucked a bit of her hair behind her ear.
"Well… umm," she said.
"I'm kind of pregnant."
Silence filled the room. Karin closed her eyes, awaiting the responses from her family. She was hoping they would understand. Isshin reacted first.
"Oh MASAKI! Loook we are going to be grandparents! Our little Karin-Chan is going to be a mommy!" He exclaimed to the large poseter of his late wife.
"Oh! Congratulation Kainr-Chan!" Rukia and Yuzu squealed happily. Yuzu gae a hug to her sister and brother-in-law- to-be.
Karinsmiled softly and looked at her brother. He was lividly seething, his fist clenching and unclenching. He was glaring hard at the both of them.
"Ichi-nii?" Karin asked cautiously.
"HOW THE HELL COULD YOU DO THIS TO MY SISTER? SHE'S ONLY 19 FOR GOD'S SAKE! I DON't EVEN APPROVE OF THIS REALTIONSHIP! I DON'T APPROVE OF THIS EITHER! I'm GONNA BANKAI YOUR ASS Toshirou!" Ichigo seethed.
Karin's lip trembled and her eyes watered with tears. Ichigo saw Karin's face and stopped his rant.
"Ka…Karin…" He started but Karin got up and ran to her room, slamming the door shut.
Toshirouy glared daggers at Ichigo.
"You could say you wanted to kill me, but you had no right to say such stuff to her," Toshirou said in his calm-angry way ,and went after his fiancé. Ichigo caught rukia's eye.
"You shouldn't have done that, strawberry," She said giving him the look and going after Karin and Toshirou.
Ichigo glanced at Yuzu, who was still going about her fantasies of how the child would look like.
"Ichi-nii, I'm going to fix the kitchen and go to bed! Oyasumi!"
Which left Isshin, who was still talking to the poster. But he stopped as soon as Yuzu left the room. He had a disappointed look about his face. He just shook his head, looked at Ichigo, and walked out of the room.
I screwed up with Karin already… Ichigo thought.
A/N: So this is the family's reaction. I hope it wasn't that bad. I might start making shorter chapters, but don't worry! I will always update every day or every other day! I also hope that this chapter was enjoyable. Just to let you know, I have published a new fanfic called Goodbye & Hello. It's a HitsuKarin. Rated T. Check it out. I think it's pretty good if I say so myself! I have updated it!
