Chapter 13- Toushirou's weakness

Renji looked at her oddly. "Are you sure? I mean Ichigo's going to kill me if I let anything happen to you". Karin nodded.

"Don't worry I'm just going to visit Toushirou" said Karin simply. Renji nodded.

"Fine"


Toushirou was sitting in his office, bored to death. There was nothing interesting about paperwork. He couldn't help but sigh at how boring his day was so far. Suddenly Toushirou felt a familiar reiatsu and instantly his mood brightened. The door slammed open to reveal the Kurosaki girl.

"Yo Toushirou" said the girl as she sat on the couch in the office.

"Yo" said Toushirou as a smirk crept on his face. He got up from his chair, deciding to take a break from doing paperwork and sat on the couch next to her.

"So how was your first day?" questioned Toushirou as he began to relax.

"Tiresome" said Karin as she too laid back, relaxing.

"Yeah well that's what the academy will do to you" said Toushirou. Karin smiled.

"But I loved it, I made a couple of friends, made a good first impression, sure there were some kids getting on my last nerve about being Kurosaki-taicho's younger sister but I didn't get into any fights" said Karin proudly. Toushirou looked at her suspiciously.

"What's with the suspicious look?" asked Karin nervously.

"Well it's just that I have never known a Kurosaki to hold in their anger and let it go" said Toushirou matter-of-factly. Then suddenly the two heard a rumbling sound and then they felt a familiar reiatsu. The door slammed open yet again to reveal another Kurosaki. But this time it was Ichigo.

"Karin" said Ichigo angrily, not even acknowledging Toushirou. "What's this I hear about you kicking a kid through the wall in school". Toushirou looked at Karin astounded and with a look that said 'I knew it'. Karin scratched the back of her head nervously.

"Oh yeah, about that…" muttered Karin hopping up to her feet.

"Karin, you promised me you wouldn't get into any fights" said Ichigo as he walked over to where she was standing.

"Ichi-nii, could you please let me explain" pleaded Karin. Ichigo looked at her intently and then nodded. Toushirou too was wondering what Karin was going to say.

"Okay, here's what happened. This kid, Hidaro Sadaharu, was insulting me, saying I have no skills but Silver made me remember my promise to you so I didn't fight him, even though I wanted to. However, Sadaharu also happened to be in my swordsmanship class and the teacher ordered us to fight. It wasn't my fault and I kept my promise" explained Karin proudly.

"You also promised that you would go easy on them, I don't think kicking a kid through a wall is going easy" said Ichigo still irritated. Toushirou figured it was time he intervened.

"Actually, since it is a Kurosaki we're talking about I think we should be happy she didn't pull out her Zanpakuto on the boy" said Toushirou causing the two to look at him as if finally realizing he was there. Ichigo thought about what Toushirou had said.

"You're probably right" grumbled Ichigo before looking back at Karin. "But you do need to learn how to control your power, Karin".

"I know, I know….Hey! Why can't Toushirou teach me how to control my power" said Karin hopefully looking at the said boy. Toushirou looked extremely surprised.

"What!? You want me to teach a Kurosaki to control their power?" asked Toushirou. Karin looked at him with big grey eyes. Toushirou tried to look away but it was too late.

Wow, I didn't know she could do that said Hyroinmaru.

"Please Toushirou" pleaded Karin. Ichigo looked expectantly at him. Toushirou sighed.

"Fine" grumbled Toushirou. Karin then put a satisfied smirk on her face and looked towards her brother.

"See, all planned out" said Karin confidently. Ichigo shrugged.

"Fine" said Ichigo before looking towards Toushirou. "If you hurt her then you die". Toushirou nodded, understandingly.

Ichigo glared at Toushirou then looked at Karin. "Alright Karin, I'll see you in the morning". Karin nodded.

"See ya later Ichi-nii" said Karin happily. She looked at Toushirou who was sitting there, face in his hands wondering how he got himself into this mess. Karin sat next to him.

"I'm sorry Toushirou, I just didn't want to train with someone I didn't know, someone I knew who would run straight to Ichi-nii if I did something went wrong" said Karin guiltily. Toushirou sighed yet again.

"No, it's alright I guess" said Toushirou as he looked at her.

"Alright, Toushirou I totally owe you, what do you want?" asked Karin.

"Just an answer, who's Silver?" responded Toushirou. Karin smiled.

"Well I met my Zanpakuto the night I fought Nnoitra and then when I found him in the Zanpakuto world we talked but when I asked him if I could know his name he told me 'I can not tell you' so for now I call him Silver" explained Karin brightly. Toushirou nodded.

"I see, then when we start training I'll train you with your Zanpakuto so you can learn his real name and learn shikai" said Toushirou, smirking at the challenge. Karin smiled.

"Can't wait, anyway I have a lot of homework to do so I better be getting home" responded Karin.

"Do you want me to walk you?" asked Toushirou, trying to hide his concern.

"Nope I'll be fine" replied Karin as she walked towards the door. "We'll start training tomorrow, after school". Toushirou nodded, silently going back over to his desk. "Goodnight Toushirou".

Toushirou looked up at the girl and a smirk crept onto his face. "Goodnight Karin".

She smiled and left with a soft click of the door. Toushirou sat in his chair, laid back, and a loud sigh left his lips. He, in less than an hour, found himself being the new sensei of Kurosaki Karin. He had to teach to control her power and teach her how to reach shikai. He had been forced into this work by that girl's big grey eyes; he didn't know they could look so… so… undeniably… cute. Wait! Did he just think CUTE! Toushirou shook his head to get the thought out before it did damage to his head. Yet even though all this had happened to him he found himself smiling as he began on his paperwork yet again.


Well there it is, I hope you really enjoyed it. Please review.
