Only One
Chapter 11- Secret garden
"Kurosaki-chan, I believe that I was told that you have a reiatsu that matches those of your brother, am I right?" asked Yamamoto. Karin just nodded.
"Hmm, I also hear you have no control over it, this must be true as well because there is now a lack of hollow in your area". Karin said nothing.
"Well, you are here to learn how to control that reiatsu unlike your brother who did not have this opportunity, I suggest you not make lightly of it" said Yamamoto. Karin just sat there staring at the man obediently though on the inside she felt slightly irritated by him.
"You'll be going to the Soul Society Academy starting tomorrow; your books are in your room, and your brother will escort you to the Soul Society Academy everyday until you learn the directions yourself, understood?" commanded Yamamoto. Karin nodded once more.
"Very well and Kurosaki-chan try not to draw to much attention to yourself, the last thing we need is for the students and shinigami to find out we're keeping a human in Soul Society, let alone training her" said Yamamoto before calling in his 11th seat officer. At that moment Karin couldn't have felt more unwanted.
"Yes sir" said the 11th seat officer; Yamamoto didn't even acknowledge him yet.
"Kurosaki-chan, we're done here" he said before turning to his officer.
"Tsubaku, could you please take Kurosaki-chan to the forth division so they can heal that bruise on her cheek" demanded Yamamoto. The man nodded and motioned for Karin to follow him as he left the room. Karin got up from her seat, looked at Yamamoto for one last time before following the shinigami.
"I'm fine" said Karin sternly.
"I was given orders to take you to the forth division" said the officer. This got Karin mad. She had gotten a lot worse bruises and on top of that she really hated being babysat. So Karin stopped dead in her tracks. The man noticed and walked back to her.
"Get moving" said the guy as he was about to push her in the shoulder to get her moving but Karin grabbed his arm before it could make contact with her shoulder.
Finally, Ichi-nii's reputation will come in handy Thought Karin.
"You want to know why people never mess with a Kurosaki?" said Karin as she tightened her grip around the man's arm. The man now began to shake with fear after thinking about what he had heard what Kurosaki-taicho does to his opponents, he bet his sister would be the same. Then Karin tightened her grip harder, as if telling him to think fast. Then she suddenly heard another voice.
"Karin?"
Karin looked to where she heard the voice only to see it was Toushirou.
"Toushirou?" said Karin. The officer seeing that the girl's attention had been diverted from him he quickly released himself from her grasp and ran. Karin did not even notice him as she walked toward Toushirou.
"Toushirou what are you doing here?" asked Karin as she looked at him curiously.
"I should ask you the same thing" replied Toushirou. "What happened to you?"
"It's a long story" answered Karin.
"I got time" said Toushirou as they began to walk beside each other.
"Well it kind of started like this......"
"So let me get this straight, two shinigami are now knocked out cold because of you" said Toushirou.
"Well, they started it" she grumbled as she on a bench under a sakura tree. Somehow the two found their way into a beautiful secluded area.
Well I have only been to this place once but still I figured the first person I'd show it to would be Hinamori, not Karin. Hmm, I may have just involuntarily walked here while I was talking to her, but why would I get lost talking to this one girl? I guess that's just one thing about her I'll just never understand thought Toushirou as he walked over and sat next to her on the bench.
"Hold on" said Toushirou as he touched her bruised cheek. Then his hand began to glow green as her bruise began to grow smaller. Then just as suddenly as Toushirou put his hand on her cheek he took it off.
"What was that?" asked Karin as she felt her cheek, there was no bruise left.
"That was kido, a form of magic that can be performed by reciting a specific incantation" said Toushirou.
"But you didn't recite any incantation" said Karin looking at him quizzically. Toushirou smirked.
"When you're as good as me you don't have to, you'll learn this skill in the Academy, it really does come in handy sometimes" said Toushirou.
"Yeah, well I'm going to do everything I can to become a great shinigami" said Karin as she took something out of her pocket that Toushirou recognized to be the pocket watch she got from her sister. She opened it to see the picture of her and Yuzu.
"I have to" she muttered to herself but Toushirou heard.
"You will" encouraged Toushirou. Karin looked at him and smiled softly.
"So who is she? Is she here?" asked Karin.
"Who?" asked Toushirou, confused.
"Your best friend, the one you were talking about when we were in the real world" replied Karin.
"Oh yeah she's here in Soul Society, her name's Hinamori Momo" said Toushirou.
"Can I meet her?" asked Karin excitedly.
"I'm afraid not, she helps run the 5th division with your brother, I'm sure she's busy" said Toushirou but after seeing the disappointment in her eyes he quickly added "but someday I'll introduce you to her".
Karin smiled at to him. Then a question popped in her head.
"You never told me why you were here, I thought you had business to attend to at your division" explained Karin.
"I did but my 3rd seat officer did the paperwork in exchange for a date with Matsumoto so when I got there this morning my desk was free of paperwork so I decided to go for a walk" explained Toushirou. Karin smiled brightly at the boy.
"Well I'm glad that he did the paperwork, I actually got to spend some time with you" said Karin happily. Toushirou felt a small smile grace his lips as well.
"Yeah, I'm glad too"
Well there it is and don't worry I'll make sure Karin and Hinamori meet face to face but in the meanwhile look out for the next chapter, Karin's first day of school.
Please review.
