Karin's thoughts
Only One
Chapter 25- Hinamori's will
Karin stared in horror. All she could do was stand there while people screamed behind her. She then knew that since Captain Yamamoto along with all the other captains were not there she had to take charge. She turned and whistled loudly, trying to get everyone's attention. Everyone stopped screaming and looked at the girl. Karin took a deep breath.
"All trainees head back into the academy and barricade yourselves in, all shinigami stay here" ordered Karin. They all stared at her.
"NOW!" she demanded. She didn't know if it was because of the fact that the world was ending or that she was a Kurosaki but they immediately did as she said. Soon there were no more trainees. Karin turned to Aizen.
"Well, Kurosaki-chan, I believe you know what I'm here for" stated Aizen. Karin's eyes narrowed.
"Yes, I know you're here to take me. But I also know that you're only trying to take me to help take over soul society. I figure you're here, I'm here, we can decide this once and for all" said Karin, confidently. Then suddenly the captains appeared as a wall between the two.
"We second the Kurosaki's motion" said Yamamoto. Thus the fight began. It was all planned out. The captains, excluding Unohana for healing purposes, got the espada along with the traitor captains. The vice captains were to take the strongest Arrancars. The rest of the shinigami were to take on the rest of the arrancar. That left Aizen to Karin, Ichigo protested but at the moment he had his hands filled with Stark.
"Alright Aizen, now this is between you, me, and your burial ground; if your lucky enough to have one that is" said Karin as she pulled out Atsuikaen. Aizen smirked.
"Such a high spirited girl. I really wish you would join my side, the side where you could have everything you ever dreamed of" stated Aizen. Karin stopped the tears from coming at what she said next.
"You know what I want. I want my mom back" at this Ichigo glimpsed at his sister when his zanpakuto clashed with Stark's. Karin then continued "and I won't dare ask you for that because you're leading the people who took her away from me!" and with that said Karin plunged towards Aizen to attack. There swords clashed and Atsuikaen didn't begin cutting.
"That maybe, young Kurosaki, but it was people who killed your mother, not I. Besides that's what I'm trying to do, bring order and balance back into our worlds" reasoned Aizen. Karin then felt the need to growl but didn't.
"You're wrong because as long as you fight beside them, protecting them, you're responsible" said Karin. Then took another swing and began a small frenzy.
"No more than Yamamoto is of you" retorted Aizen as he dodged all of his blows. This made Karin smirk.
"You're right but I'm not the killing other for my own selfish gain and lying about it, telling others it will bring peace and balance. I'm not the one putting people lives in jeopardy, deciding that my wishes and dreams are more important than theirs. I'm not the one who is the traitor, you are" said Karin defiantly. Aizen then pushed her back and a wicked smile graced his lips.
"Do you know what I just realized? I realized that I don't need you. I just need your blood to make another copy of you" he said as he began swinging. Karin blocked most of his attacks.
"What are you talking about?" asked Karin, confused.
"Well, Kurosaki-chan, you're a true blood. In other words being a shinigami is in your blood and I only have to have a sample of it on my blade to clone you with even more reiatsu" he said in a Kurotsuchi way.
He and Karin's swords continued to clash against each other. Karin sent out ribbons but he always cut them as if they were real weak ribbons. Karin was then pushed onto the ground as Atsuikaen was flung out of her hands. Aizen then crept closer and was now in front of Karin, sword in hand. As he held up the sword Karin shut her eyes tightly. When nothing happened Karin opened her eyes to see black hair. Karin's eyes widened, it was Hinamori!
"Hinamori!" gasped Karin. Hinamori turned to her and smiled.
"Everything's going to be alright, Karin" reassured Hinamori before turning back to Aizen. "I can't promise you the same thing".
"Ah, if it isn't beloved vice captain" said Aizen kindly.
"Call me beloved one more time and you'll know how it feels to have your heart ripped out" growled Hinamori.
"Ah, my Hinamori, still sore from the last time we fought I see. Well I'm sorry, but we have to cut this meeting short. Get out of my way" he said threateningly. Hinamori positioned her self.
"Not a chance. Aizen I'm not going to say you betraying us didn't hurt me, but I'm not going to let you hurt the one my brother loves most" Hinamori declared. Karin's eyes widened. She knew that when Hinamori said brother she meant Toushirou.
"Hinamori, why don't you join me? We could rule the new world together. The world now is flawed by pain" he stated. Hinamori snorted.
"You're right Aizen, this world is flawed but only because people like you exist in it. You know, I swore myself that I hated the girl that I'm protecting now. I swore to myself that I'd kill her if I could just get the chance. But I was wrong. She's changed my perspective along with somebody else's" she then took a quick glimpse of Toushirou fighting Gin then looked back to Aizen "she's my friend, something you proved to me that you couldn't be. I will not let you hurt her" stated Hinamori. Karin was touched by her words.
"Then you will die beside her" said Aizen as he plunged his sword through her stomach. Karin's eyes widened as Hinamori began to cough up blood as she fell to the ground. Aizen kicked her in her side. Toushirou saw what had happened.
"Hinamori!" he yelled as he wanted to be next to her but he was to busy with Gin. He knew Matsumoto wanted to fight him but orders were orders so he decided to have a little chat while fighting him.
Karin sat there in shock. Hinamori… the one who called me a friend… was on the verge of death… and it's my entire fault. Karin was angered for letting it get that far then she looked at the one kicking her, Aizen. But I know who I can take it out on.
"Aizen!" called Karin angrily. Aizen then looked up at the girl.
"You said you wanted peace but you only bring more war" said Karin as resolve began to reach her eyes. She then realized that no one was fighting anymore, they were watching to see how the fight between Karin and Aizen went before deciding to continue or not. It didn't really matter to Karin though.
"Hinamori was right, our world is flawed by people like you and if it takes me the rest of my life I'll make sure you don't exist in this world or any other" she declared as she called back Atsuikaen and raised him into the air. Karin had reached total resolve and the spiritual pressure that burst out of her had everyone but the captains on their knees.
"This is the end for you, Aizen! BANKAI!"
Well there it is and I decided that we put Hinamori as a good person in it. Happy Mother's Day and please review.
