Okay so the chapters will take a bit longer time because of my school work. And I got reviews telling me that I should write longer chapters so they will take a bit longer. I'm also making another story so that makes it even longer to get this done. Anyway, let's get this started, and thanks for all the reviews so far!

Theory

Karin made her way over to Toshiro's office after her little talk with the Head Captain Yamamoto. Who would have thought he knew about me even from Alice information. FlameWolf said. Karin nodded in agreement

Flashback

Karin looked at the Head Captain, a bit nervous. You haven't done anything bad, relax. FlameWolf tried to calm her. Yeah I know, but the ones who attacked were after me. I don't know why he wants to talk and he knows they were after me. I'm just a bit scared he might either make me sit inside one room all day, or make sure I stay put with him. Karin answered. FlameWolf had to agree with her in that one. Yamamoto had his eyes closed and was silent, which made Karin a bit uncomfortable.

"Ummm...why did you want to talk to me?" Karin asked him, getting impatient. She was still scared of his answer, but he was calm and the answer he gave wasn't what she was expecting.

"Yes, it's about your friend, FlameWolf." Karin was stunned. How did he know about me? You didn't say anything to him, so how did he know? FlameWolf kept asking

"How did you...?" Karin didn't even know how to react. Yamamoto opened his eyes and she was a bit scared now.

"Captain Skysilver told me a bit of information about inexperience Masters. They have no idea about their power, have no control of it and if too near a dark energy, the Spirit goes out of control. You told Captain Skysilver that you thought that man had evil all around him, yes?" He asked. Karin nodded her head. "Then that explains the fire you created." Karin's eyes went to the ground when he mentioned that. She opened her mouth to apologize, when the Yamamoto spoke. "You need not apologize, it was an accident. Either way, have something else to ask you." Karin looked at him, waiting for his question. "When you were in the World of the Living, did you feel tired for a long period of time?" he asked. Karin thought for a second, then she answered.

"Yeah, for a couple of weeks actually. I didn't know why and to be honest, I still don't really know." Yamamoto looked at her.

"It's because FlameWolf's power were waking up inside of you. You didn't know, making yourself even more tired. Have you been tired like that when you've been here?" he asked. Karin shook her head. "So that means what Captain Skysilver suspected was true. Thank you for answering, Is there something you want to ask me?" he finished. Karin knew what she wanted to know already.

"How did you know her name was FlameWolf, and what kind of Spirit is she? I know she's fire, but I feel she's something else that I'll never figure out on my own." Karin asked. Yamamoto sighed a bit and answered.

"I knew about FlameWolf because Captain gave me enough information to understand that you were a Master and already had a Spirit. She told me the name of the Spirit you had and said it was a fire Spirit. As for your other question, I do not know. Captain Skysilver told me that the one who might be able to help someone find the other power of their Spirits are sometimes right under your nose. Who helps you, deepens on the Spirits second power." He explained. Karin looked at him, grateful for his answer. "There seems to be something else on your mind. Do tell." he said. Karin thought about how she was going to ask, she didn't even know why she thought of it.

"Umm...What...did Toshiro say?" she asked quietly. Yamamoto looked at her, a bit confused. "Toshiro wrote a letter for me in case I woke up before he came back. It said something about him talking about..." she couldn't finish the sentence, she didn't even know she why she was so curious. Yamamoto nodded his head.

"That you can ask him yourself. If he wants you to know, he'll tell you." He said.

Why couldn't he just tell me? Why was I so curious anyway? I don't get it. She thought. Your mind is a feeling pool and too hot even for me. Calm down and relax, will ya? FlameWolf said. OK, I'll try. Karin said. She kept walking, liking the fact that she could go alone. She felt a lot safer when she was alone and able to think without all the shouting and talking. She made it to his office in no time at all and was about to opened the door.

"What are you saying?" She heard Toshiro's voice. Karin froze for a second, then decided to knock instead. Or you could just listen to them. FlameWolf said. Not now, next time. She smirked at her. FlameWolf sighed and smiled at her. Very well. And Karin knocked on the door.

Inside the office a few minutes before.

"Captain Skysilver?" Toshiro asked, as Alice made her way in.

"Still working, Captain Hitsugaya? What about Rangiku?" She asked. Toshiro sighed and answered.

"She left for Squad 5 to visit Momo, I think I sorta made her do that. I told her not to hang over Karin's back when she was worried sick about her." Alice looked at him, a bit confused why he said that. She's like you, Alice. Don't want a baby sitter all the time. Cyrilia joked, but what she said was still true. Yeah, I know. But Karin's Spirit is FlameWolf. I would have thought she wanted to be with other people. Or I've really forgotten how FlameWolf tick. Alice thought. No, they just change. It's been 5 years since you were there last. Spirit change, just like humans. Cyrilia explained. Alice nodded and started talking again.

"Listen, there's something else I think is going on. I don't think they were only after Karin." she said. Toshiro's head went up from his paperwork and meet her eyes.

"What? Who else could they be after?" he asked.

"Not sure yet. But from what it seemed, there was to many Arrancar for just one 11 year old girl. Wouldn't you agree?" She asked. Toshiro nodded in agreement. She does have a point. But why else would there be so many? He asked himself.

"You have any ideas?" he asked.

"I do. I think there's a few Soul Reapers that are Masters of Spirit as well." she said. Toshiro's eyes widen by what she said.

"What are you saying?" he asked her. Alice got her breath to talk again, when there was a knock on the door. "Guess Karin's back." Toshiro said. Back? Alice thought. You'll have to ask him another time. Cyrilia said. Alice nodded and went towards the door.

"I'll talk to you later when I know more. Till then Captain Hitsugaya." she said in farewell. She opened the door, and there stood Karin. "Nice to see you again, Karin." Alice said with a smile.

"You too, Alice." Karin bowed. I might not be a Soul Reaper, but I should at least show a bit of respect. Well, most of the time. Karin thought. You're a real head ache for the other captains I bet. FlameWolf laughed. Karin huffed, bowed goodbye to Alice and went in to the office. Toshiro looked up at her, wondering why the Head Captain had to talk to her. I won't ask now, I'll do it later. He thought.

"How long have you been out there?" Toshiro asked plainly. Karin looked at him, wondering if they talked about something she wasn't supposed to know.

"I just heard you say one sentence, that's all. How come?" Karin asked. Toshiro sighed in relief that she hadn't heard that. I can't even think how freaked she'd be. She already thinks it's her fault, she doesn't need more. He thought. "Hey, what was that for?" Karin asked annoyed.

"That you didn't go and hear things you wouldn't understand." he lied. I can't tell her yet. Toshiro thought. "Anyway what did the Head Captain?" he asked, looking at her. He's got some nerve! Why should I tell him when he didn't tell me? Karin thought with annoyance. Well, you'll figure it out. I want to check the place out a bit more, so I'll be away for a while. FlameWolf said. Karin nodded and let FlameWolf leave.

"Something you wouldn't understand." Karin answered, smirking. Toshiro gave an annoying look, but she just gave one back.

"You wanna bet?" he said, walking over to her. She held her ground, not really scared of Toshiro.

"A grade schooler can't understand something like this." Karin said, trying to annoy him. And it worked like a charm. A vain popped on his forehead and started yelling.

"I've already told you a thousand times, I'm not a kid!" Karin just laughed at his reaction, which made him even more mad. He was losing his patient and his eyes were dangerous. If this girl doesn't stop, she's gonna get it. Toshiro thought, still annoyed and angry.

"You should see yourself Toshiro! You get so easily distracted when people say things like this!" Karin said, her stomach hurting form all the laughing. Toshiro lost his patient with her. He grabbed her, pulled her as close as he could and stared right into her eyes.

"Unless you want to get hurt, shut up." he warned her. She was stunned by how close he had pulled her, and him not even twitching. I guess I made him so mad he doesn't even notice.

"You're really easily distracted, that's a fact." Karin said, still smiling a bit. Toshiro was still very annoyed with her. He didn't even know what he was doing. He pushed Karin into the wall, held her tight there and was still as close as before.

"Maybe you didn't just hear what I said." he said, making sure she knew the situation she was in right now. She had stopped smiling, let alone laughing. Her heart was pounding so hard she couldn't believe he didn't hear it. Her face was slightly red, she had good control of her feelings. She was pushed all the way into a wall, Toshiro's entire body really close and her barley able to breathe. Why is he so distracted? Even I would be able to figure out about this! Karin thought, feeling a sting of disappointment. Wait, why am I disappointed? She shook her head mentally.

"Fine, fine I'm sorry. Can you...back of now?" she asked, looking away from him. He calmed down, noticing how close he hard pushed himself to her, blushed and backed off. I knew I was close to her, but not that close! He thought. Karin moved a bit out into the new space she had gotten. "...Sorry, I didn't mean it." Karin said quietly. Toshiro looked at her, a bit worried.

"Is not your fault, you just wanted to get back at me. Nothing more, nothing less." He said, looking away. Karin smiled and was about to thank him, went both Rangiku and Momo came rushing in the door. Uh oh, this is bad. My heart is still pounding. If Rangiku finds out about this, I'm dead! Karin thought. Just the thought of what Rangiku would do made her heart pound even harder. Toshiro looked at her, then diced to distract Rangiku so she would notice her right away. "You still have paper work Rangiku. And why are you here Momo?" Toshiro said, then asked Momo.

"Aw, you're mean captain. Momo is worried about Karin as well you know." Rangiku whined. Not this again. Karin thought, slapping her forehead.

"By the way Rangiku, I'm right here." Karin said, a bit annoyed. Rangiku looked over and in a second, Karin was being squashed again by her breasts, as in hugging her. Not again! Karin thought.

"Karin! I'm so glad You're back!" Rangiku said, hugging Karin harder. Karin tried to get free. But that's easier said than done.

"Rangiku...let...go..." Karin was able to say. Rangiku heard her and let her go. Momo laughed at her, while Toshiro just sighed at his lieutenant. He went over to the window and stared out. Hyourinmaru has been gone for a while now. I wonder where he is. Toshiro thought. Karin looked at him, seeing he was a bit worried. I wonder why? Now that I think about, where's FlameWolf? She's hasn't been gone for long, but she might get caught by the other Soul Reapers. Karin thought.

Outside in the Seritei

FlameWolf was on the roof top of Squad 9. She was staring out the Seritei, memorizing the place. This will be helpful to both me and Karin to know where we're going. She thought.

"I hope you don't mind if I ask who the hell you are?" she heard someone behind her. She turned around and saw a Zanpaktou, one she didn't know who was. It might be someone who works here. Maybe Shuhei. She thought.

"My name's FlameWolf, nothing more you need to know." She said. The Zanpaktou smirked at her, making her cautious.

"Alright then, then I'll tell you mine. It's Kazeshini, my Soul Reaper is Shuhei Hisagi." he finished. FlameWolf looked at him, wondering if he would attack her.

"OK, so I'll be taking my leave now if you don't mind." FlameWolf said, getting ready to jump. Kazeshini was still smirking at her, then threw one of his weapons towards her. FlameWolf noticed it, and was able to jump out of the way. I guess he does mind. She thought.

"You're not a Soul Reaper's Zanpaktou, so I can't let you go." he said. FlameWolf just laughed at him, which made him stop smirking. "Why are you laughing?" Kazeshini asked, getting annoyed.

"If you think I'll be staying, I'll be leaving." she said, flashing in a blaze of fire as before. What the heck? What the hell is she? Kazeshini thought to himself.

"Kazeshini, who were you talking to?" he heard Shuhei behind him. He turned around and saw him standing, and he looked confused.

"Someone, or something was here a second ago. She disappeared in a flash, so I don't know anything else. She pissed me off, just the sight of her!" he said.

"Alright calm down. Let's go back in to the captain. I just ran out of her office in quite a hurry, so she might be worried. Come on." Shuhei sighed as he went from the roof tops. Kazeshini huffed and went back into his Zanpaktou. Don't say I didn't warn ya. If I see her again, she's gonna get it. Kazeshini swore to himself. Shuhei laughed a bit and flash stepped to his captain office.

Hyourinmaru's current location

Hyourinmaru was staring out over the Soul Society, making sure everything was in order. To think this used to be destroyed...by us Zanpaktou. He thought. He closed his eyes and thought back at when they attacked the Soul Society, under Muramasa's control. They had done so much damage to the Seritei that it was surprising they didn't even think for a second. Hyourinmaru had lost his memory of everything, who he was, who his Master was and where he belonged. He had fought against Toshiro, Toshiro helping him to remember who he was. It knocked a lot out of Toshiro, but he was fine. Hyourinmaru opened his eyes again, looking again at the peaceful Seritei.

"Like the view?" he heard a familiar female voice behind him. He turned and there she stood, FlameWolf.

"Why are you here? And what do you plan on doing with Karin?" he asked, turning completely around to face her. She looked at him, surprised by his question.

"Nothing, she's the boss over me. If I do anything, it's either to protect her or her who ordered me to. I would never hurt her physically, or mentally." she said.

"Then what happened when she came here was just an accident? You can't expect me to believe that." he shot back. FlameWolf sighed, putting her left hand on her hip and started explaining.

"Karin is an inexperience Master, I'm a 1000 or more old Spirit. I have a lot more experience than her, so naturally, I have a lot more control. But because she didn't even know about me, her control got worse. When we came here, the man she was close had a high, evil aura around him, making me act like I usually do: Attack against evil. But because his power was so strong, my instincts got more and more like they were back home. Meaning I didn't care about Karin. I got as much flames as I could and forced it out of her body, not being able to stop myself. Now that she knows, that won't happen again. Unless of course, she wants me to." Hyourinmaru didn't seem convinced, but he did let her off, for now.

"I don't believe you, but I'll ask Captain Skysilver instead." he said. FlameWolf smiled at him, and he didn't know why.

"Well, your choice. I need to go." she said, turning from him.

"Wait." Hyourinmaru said. FlameWolf turned to him, a bit confused. "Where are you hiding anyway? I've never felt you nearby, and you say you're supposed to protect Karin. So where are you hiding?" he asked. FlameWolf looked at him, a bit surprised by his question.

Guess it shouldn't surprise me. She thought. She closed her eyes, smirked at him and vanished again. Hyourinmaru eyes went everywhere, looking for her. No where, her presence has disappeared as well. Where could she be hiding? He thought, still looking for her. When he was sure she wasn't around, he flash stepped away and went back to inside the Zanpaktou.

Squad 9 office

Alice was doing some more paper work, while Cyrilia was looking around the office a bit more. She went over to the bookshelf and looked through the books.

"Bored?" Alice asked as she looked up from her paper work, seeing Cyrilia studying things. "You don't really do things like that, so you must be bored." she pointed out. Cyrilia turned and looked at her, smiling.

"What do you expect. I still need to get used to not fighting as much as before. Aren't you tired of doing all that paper work? You should let Shuhei do some." she said. Alice only smiled, but she didn't for long. She felt a sting of pain on the left side of her face. She put her left hand where the pain was and tried to calm the pain. "Alice, what's wrong?" Cyrilia asked, worried.

"Nothing, I'm fine." She said, unconvincing. You're to impatient. I told you to wait until we figure out more. Alice thought. Sorry, when it comes to patient Cyrilia beats me by a mile. But loyalty and strength, we're on the same level. A voice answered. Alice sighed mentally, then sat upright again after the pain went away. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, opened them again and started on her paper work.

"It was him, right?" Cyrilia asked. Alice nodded, but didn't say anything. "I'll have a little talk with him, so if you'll excuse me." the Cyrilia went back into her Zanpaktou and Alice was alone in the silence, except the yelling of a Zanpaktou and an annoyed Spirit.

Squad 10 office a few hours later

Toshiro was still sitting with his desk, working. Man, Rangiku's a real pain when she just bolts off like that. She's gonna get it tomorrow. Toshiro thought. Don't get too mad, Karin's asleep. You wouldn't want to wake her, now would you? Hyourinmaru said. Toshiro looked up and towards the bench. He was only able to see a little, but he was able to see Karin lying on the bench. He smiled and got up. He walked towards the bench to see her, and she was deeply asleep. Toshiro grabbed the blanket at the end of the bench and put it on Karin. She moved a bit, which made Toshiro smirk. He flash stepped on to the roof and looked at the sky. The night was full of stars and the wind was a bit chilly, but that's how Toshiro liked it. He sat there for a while, the wind blowing through his white hair. Peaceful, just the way it should be. He thought. Suddenly, he felt a sting of pain inside his chest. He grabbed his chest with both his hands and wasn't able to bear the pain. What the heck? What's going on! He thought. You waking up to your destiny, that's what. A voice said inside his head, and it wasn't Hyourinmaru.

Okay, I hope it was long enough. And if I misspelled something, tell me. Please review if you like, hate or have ideas for me!
