Karin's POV

We were walking back from Kisuke's and Toshiro was telling me all about his life at the Sereitei. He told me about the academy, all the squads, all the captains and lieutenants and he told me what it was like in the office with Rangiku. I giggled at when he got frustrated just explaining about all the things that went on. When suddenly I stopped and stared at him for a moment a serious expression creeping on my face.

"What's wrong Karin?"

"Nothing serious I just realised something though!"

"What?"

"I've never heard you laugh!"

"What?"

"You heard! How come you never laugh?"

"To laugh you have to find something funny."

"Not technically true… Are you ticklish?"

I saw his eyes widen slightly and he stared for a moment. Yep he was.

"Uhhhhh, no I'm not!"

"Oh… Ok then, I've just accepted a new mission to make you laugh once during today. You never know you might even like it and do it more once in a while!"

"Good luck, many have tried and failed including Rangiku. I remain unchallenged!"

I giggled slightly before looking up and simply saying.

"Well then, you have just met your match!"

He raised an eyebrow and we continued talking on the topic we were on until we reached the clinic again where Rangiku was stood with tears in her eyes and someone in her arms she ran over to us when she saw us coming.

"KARIN! Can you please help him?"

"Oh god, what happened to him?"

"This is the Gin I was talking about. He was stabbed by Aizen and left to die!"

"Damn, well then I need to move fast. Toshiro can you run ahead and open the clinic while I help Rangiku?"

"Yeah, see you in a minute!"

I helped Rangiku carry the limp man as we both ran towards the clinic. I looked to see a mix of sadness, love, worry and anger in her ice blue eyes as we ran. When we reached the clinic the door was open and everything was prepared. I thanked Toshiro and rushed off to the operating room. My dad and Yuzu was still away my dad on business and Yuzu… I don't actually know where she is right now; the point is she's not here! I had never done an operation on this scale before without supervision so I was gonna work with caution but do my best to save him, well… here goes my best shot!

Toshiro's POV

Rangiku was sat next to me balling her eyes out, I understood what she was going through and gave her some space for the time being, I had gone through the same with Hinamori even though I didn't show it that was how I felt inside and I guess her death came as a slight relief that she wasn't in pain anymore. The funeral was soon and I was wondering how I was gonna cope with it all to be honest, even worse how my heartbroken lieutenant was gonna cope. She would more than certainly want to comfort me, but she would be in so much pain herself. Maybe she shouldn't go, anyhow now is not the time to ask her. Even though I truly despise Ichimaru, I would be willing to listen if he had any explanation for his betrayal to the soul society, there are many questions I could raise about him, I'm not sure if anyone knows the answers to them just yet.

"I know what you're thinking Taicho; you're wondering why Gin betrayed the Soul Society, why he was stabbed by Aizen, why I saved him? Well I can give you all the answers you want if you like!"

"Not right now Rangiku, I can tell you are still too upset. The answers can wait until you and Ichimaru are ready!"

"You called me Rangiku." She smiled.

"Well we are not in the office right now, so there is no need to call you by your surname."

"Does that mean I get to call you Toshiro?"

"Hitsugaya for now Rangiku!"

"Ok then fine!"

Karin came out of the room with a proud expression plastered to her face as she wheeled Ichimaru through to the recovery room.

"He's gonna be fine, but he ain't moving for a while. He doesn't need to be kept an eye on because the wounds weren't too badly infected so the infections are gone; none of his major organs were damaged. He got away pretty lightly with a sore shoulder and antibiotics"

"Thanks, does that mean I can take him back to Orihime's place?"

"Yeah but, you have to make sure that his shoulder doesn't become dislocated again meaning he cannot move it yet, make sure he takes his antibiotics and check the wound for infections regularly. I will go round to Orihime's in two weeks to check on him. You know where I am if anything crops up before then!"

"Thanks loads Karin, can I go and see him now?"

"Yeah sure, he's a little dopey from the anaesthetic but he is fine!"

"Ok thanks!"

"You're very welcome!"

Yuzu's POV

My dad had told me to go out while he was away so I was walking about some of the streets of Karakura and I saw Hanataro. He seemed a bit out of it so I ran over to him.

"Hanataro? Are you ok?"]

"Oh hi there Yuzu… Did you know you cook very well? Why is there two of you?"

"I think you have concussion! Let's get you somewhere where I can take a look shall I?"

"… And pretty butterflies!"

"Let's go!"

I found an empty warehouse and I had my first aid kit with me so I ran in with Hanataro leaning on my arm and sat him on the ground. I opened the med kit and got out all the tools I needed, unfortunately it was too far back to the clinic so I guess I would just have to treat him here. Once I had checked him over and confirmed that he had knocked himself senseless he began to giggle and go crimson.

"What's up now Hanataro?"

"You're very pretty!"

I felt my heart pick up pace when I heard that. I liked this guy ever since he first came round to our house years ago. He stayed for a while, I remember!

"You hit your head really hard; you don't know what you're saying!"

"No Yuzu I mean it! You're really pretty, like… Butterflies!"

"What?"

He giggled and kissed me on the cheek causing me to go bright red. I giggled and stood him up, we couldn't stay here all night we had to get back to the clinic, from what I had seen though that hit to his head had taken away all his shyness… and awkwardness and he was gonna be mortified when he was sane again. Maybe I could use that to my advantage, you never know these days!

YUZU AND HANATARO CUTENESS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

I thought them two would be cute together, don't you?

Maybe we should start a new fan club :)

Suggest names in the reviews for their couple name like there is Ichiruki, HitsuKarin, what could Hanataro and Yuzu be?

Thanks for reading

Bye xo
