"One word," she threw her sword in the air. "Bankai." She screamed.
Red flames engulfed Karin as soon as she gave her command. Everyone shielded their eyes from the bright that she gave off. When they looked back they were shocked by the person in front or behind them.
Her hair was bright orange, identically to Ichigo but her hair was on fire. The length was much longer that reached to her feet. It was still in the same style she always wore it in but her hair was down this time. Her eyes were that bright red colour that looked like the could kill anyone at any giving time. Her clothes were black and a dark red just like her brother. She wore black shorts that didn't reach her knees and a black tube top that just covered her breasts. Instead of her white haori it was a dark red colour. All her body was engulfed in flames only her face and other strange places like armpits were safe. To many people that would be painful but she looked fine.
"Welcome to my true form." Karin began to walk forward. "Did you ever notice that my sister didn't have any spiritual pressure? That's because I took it. Yuzu was always the type to blow anyone away with her personality. Me I was always the fierce and fiery one. This is the real power of Karin Kurosaki." Karin was now at the front of the captains and lieutenants. The visards backed away and pulled all the captains and lieutenants away from Karin.
"Toshiro this is the reason I hate the rain. I get a fever." Toshiro remembered that time just after her fathers and sisters funeral where she had gotten sick. Also when she left for the week a few months back because she couldn't control it. It was the reason her ex third seat was severely burnt. Momo looked angry. She didn't figure out she had a fire type zanpaktuo.
"You just added your flames onto my bankai. Thanks for that." Karin smirked at Momo. Shuhei and Rangiku both restrained Momo. She dared not to move as she was surrounded by many captains.
"Karin, be careful." Toshiro shouted to her. He was slightly scared of what would happen next but he heard Sanjin say that everyone believed in her. As her boyfriend he should trust her and her fighting capabilities.
"I will." She said never taking her eyes off him. "Head captain, do you want him dead or captured?" The head captain looked to the others who all nodded.
"What is every easiest for you." Karin gave off a strong laugh. Everyone was taking back by her response.
"Good choice, it takes too much effort holding back." Karin cupped her hand in the air and moved it along. A pole started to form in her hands. She twisted the pole around her body like a baton. She leaned down with the pole beside her. It looked like she was starting a race. Her hair flared strongly in the wind. It made her look even more fierce with the dancing fire. If you stared at her hair in the wind, you surely would be hypnotised by it.
Karin sprang forward with her pole behind her. Gin stepped in front of Aizen, Karin batted him to the side then kept running forward. He was sent across town. Aizen caught her sword in the air. Karin let a small smirk creep on her face as she raised her spiritual pressure. Aizen let go of the sword in an instant as the pole turned bright red and was slightly bent.
"Not some greater being, are you now." Karin placed the pole up right like there was a floor there. She kicked his stomach and sent him flying back. Aizen took out his sword and flash stepped toward her. Karin grabbed her pole and clashed it against his sword. Aizen kept attacking her randomly but Karin could easily swat his sword away.
Aizen managed to get behind and was about to stab her but Karin moved her flames to engulf his sword.
"Do you know the temperature metal melts at?" Aizen looked cluelessly at her. Karin nodded her head to his sword which was beginning to melt. Karin ran forward and punched him hard in the face.
"That's for my mum." She sent him flying backwards. Karin ran forward and grabbed his face and forced him to the floor. "That's for my dad."
Aizen managed to backflip and landed gently on the floor. Karin fell down and kicked him in his stomach. "That's for my sister." His face and stomach was covered with massive bruises .
Ichigo stood beside Toshiro trying to hold him up. Everyone even the visards were exhausted from fighting Aizen. They watched as Karin brutally tried to kill Aizen. So far she was succeeding. Ichigo was scared as she was dealing with Aizen. The man who had so many tricks up his sleeve. Karin hadn't fully recovered when she joined the war. She really had to kill him quickly.
"She is amazing isn't she." He heard Engetsu say who gently touched Ichigo's shoulder. Ichigo didn't bother to take his eyes of his sister. He had to watch her closely and compare the gap of skill they had.
"She is." He peeked at Engetsu who had disappeared but then reappeared as someone else. His eyes widened from the shock.
"I trained her well, I might say." Ichigo smiled at the man who had said that. It was a man that he did cry over when he died. A man who had always protected him when he was younger. The man who would give everything up just for his family. Their idiot of a father, Isshin Kurosaki.
"You did do well, dad." Isshin stood behind his son watching his daughter. Toshiro and the older captain smiled gently when they saw Isshin again. Though they were shocked by his reappearance, they were anxious to see Karin seeing him.
Karin had received no scratches by Aizen, her flames had prevented him from doing so. Aizen had recieved many bruises by Karin's fist and foot. Karin burnt her sword then created a smaller one. It was the same size as her dagger, it even took the same shape. Karin stood back and lowered her flames.
She ran towards Aizen with her dagger in her mouth. The flames had no effect on her at all. They were cold to her. Aizen swatted her away with his hand. Karin dodged his hand then quickly scratched his face with her dagger. Karin jumped back a few feet but no where near the rest of the soul society.
"You finished already, all you did was scratch me. It is a measly wound, I can recover from it in seconds. Now, it's my turn." Aizen ran towards her but Karin held her dagger up in the air and blew onto it. The whole dagger burst into flames. Aizen stopped a few metres away from her.
"What's wrong? Feeling hot?" Karin smirked. Aizen's costume started to crumble. Karin raised her spiritual pressure up a bit. Aizen couldn't move. "And that's from everyone else." She smiled. Aizen looked at her with pure hatred in his eyes. Karin didn't care the feeling was mutual.
The soul reapers stood their not understanding what was happening. Ichigo turned around to Isshin with a confused look.
"You know if an enzyme gets to hot it gets denatured." Ichigo nodded. "Karin is killing every enzyme in his body then eventually she will destroy his soul, killing him gently." Ichigo looked back at Karin and Aizen. She was very strong with a bankai like that. She was something to fear but yet he could never fear her. He loved Karin and as her older brother he had to be the one to protect her.
Karin raised her spiritual pressure more. She watched as Aizen froze. His body failing to work. The sweat dripping down his face. It was painless, just very long with her spiritual pressure not as full as it was. Aizen coughed one last time and fell to the ground. Karin and the soul reapers watch as his body combusted into flames. They watched as he turned into ash. The wind picked up scattering the ash across town.
Once it was over, they gave a deep sigh. The long war was now finished. All the espada were dead. The arrancars would not dare and bother them. Tousen and Aizen were dead. All that was left was Gin but they would just arrest him to atone for his wrongs.
Karin lowered her spiritual pressure then gave a deep breath. She could now sleep easy without worry. Karin turned around to see a familiar face. Instantly her eyes watered up. Her flames died down and only fluttered around her body. Isshin stepped forward in front of everyone. Karin flash stepped towards him and jumped up and hugged him. Wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around her waist. She cried into his shoulder. Toshiro and Ichigo watched as Karin cried into her fathers shoulder. The older captains all awed as their old friend reunited with his daughter.
"I missed you, you old man." Isshin placed his chin on her shoulder and soothed her, just like when she was a little girl. He was trying his best to hold in his own tears.
"I missed you too, sweetheart." He gently kissed her hair. The flames didn't even bother him as Engetsu protected him from them. Isshin placed her on the ground and kissed her head. Toshiro walked up to her and held her close to him.
"You did well." Karin turned around and gave him a hug. Her bankai didn't bother with him when he had his bankai protecting him.
"Oh, just a hug. How about a little bit of action?" Karin kicked her father in the leg. Karin's and Toshiro's face both a burning red.
"Don't be such a pervert." Isshin smiled at his daughter. She hasn't lost her touch when it came to battering her him. Isshin held his leg and held onto Ichigo to balance him.
"Just a little note, make sure your zanpaktou's are far away from your body when you are having sex. They can watch and they can hear your moans." Karin blushed deeper. Toshiro grabbed Karin and flash stepped through the town with her. They really needed to talk. Isshin tried to follow them but Ichigo caught his wrist.
"Leave them, they need to discuss some things." Isshin looked in the direction of his former third seat who stole his precious daughter. His eyes softened and chatted between the captains.
Toshiro had placed Karin on a dustbin in ally. It was dark and cold but the temperature didn't effect them at all. They were both the extreme temperature. Toshiro stood at the side of her feet, leaning on the bin to hold him up. Karin played with her fingers in the awkward silence. This was the first time out of their whole relationship their was an awkward moment.
"I'm sorry." Karin whispered to him but it was loud enough for him to hear. Toshiro turned to look at her. She was very nervous talking to her boyfriend and best friend. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Momo. I just couldn't make you upset." Toshiro climbed onto the bin and sat next to her.
"What will happen to her now?" Karin looked away.
"I will arrest her and place her in jail for sometime. After that I will interrogate her and find out why she did it. Then by my wishes she will be sent to work under Jushiro." Toshiro seemed upset about that his sister will be arrested. Karin reached for his hand and touched it. Her burning hand touch his icy claw. "3 captains knew about her and a lieutenant. We are the one responsible for her. We will put her back in check. I am in charge of looking after, so don't worry." Toshiro looked at Karin from the side of his eye.
"I really do love you. Karin, promise me you will tell me everything, even if it will upset me. I don't want to put so much responsibility onto yourself." Karin tugged on his hand whipping his head round. Karin in the process caught his lips. Toshiro quickly kissed her back. He missed the taste of her so much. He didn't move his hands, he just held them at her side.
Toshiro moved moved his hands to Karin's waist while still kissing her. He pushed her harder into the kiss. Karin lowered herself backwards until she was lying on top of the bin. Toshiro didn't break the kiss once, he moved and crawled on top of her.
As soon as they were in that position, their kiss became more lustful and passionate. He quickly pushed his tongue into her mouth, exploring it like he had never seen it before. He slid his hands to her shorts and held the rims of them. Karin broke the kiss and pulled his hands away from her shorts.
"Lets not do it in an ally." Karin said as she sat up with Toshiro still close to her. He jumped off the bin then helped her down then flash stepped back to the others.
Karin and Toshiro stood in a street where all the soul reapers were being treated. Everyone was either sitting on the ground or a wall, thanking that the war was over with.
"Karin!" She heard captain Unohana shout. Karin stood their amazed as the older woman shouted at her. "You should be relaxing. I just got a call from Isane saying that you disappeared." Karin looked over her shoulder to Kisuke who was greeting his old friend with Yoruichi.
"Kisuke! Come here." He turned round and walked up to Karin, kissing her head. The flames didn't bother him either. Kazengetsu had a thing for Benihime, so he wouldn't dare hurt her master.
"Explain why I am here and not resting." Kisuke held onto his hat and raised his head to look at captain Unohana.
"Well, that's simple. She didn't actually get hurt." He pulled out a pill and handed it to Karin. Karin blew into it like it was a ballon. It inflated into another version of herself.
"It's a portable gigai." He cheered.
"I blew this up while I was in the gargaunta after I saved Orihime. I created another path to lead me to Kisuke's while my clone was here."
"What about what you said in the hall about, you know, your future?" Karin looked confused then blushed as her clone had revealed her future plans. Karin looked down and twiddled her fingers.
"I still want it. You know, the family and the children." Toshiro cracked a smile. He was glad that she still felt the same way.
"Deceiving people is not nice, Karin." Isshin sang to her who now joined the conversation. "Especially deceiving your boyfriend."
"Sorry but I thought the way to deceive your enemy is too deceive your friends." Karin turned her attention to Toshiro. Isshin just smiled at her phrase that he taught her "That's includes you, Toshiro, as friend is at the end of boyfriend." Karin walked up to her dad and grabbed his collar, her fire getting much more enraged. "Now, explain why you are here and not six feet under." Isshin laughed and held her wrists.
"I knew Aizen was after the family so I faked my death and let Engetsu save my soul, after all he is my soul. I regained my energy by living inside you and Ichigos head. I knew that you and Ichigo would be stronger if you really truly hated Aizen."
"So your plan was to deceive me just to make me stronger?" She questioned, still holding his shirt.
"What about you, you deceived your friends thinking you got hurt. There is not a difference." Karin let go of her fathers shirt.
"Yes there is, deceiving me is way out off line." She said as she flung her arms in the air. Toshiro and Isshin just smiled as she was in the verge off tears. "I really thought you were dead." Isshin grabbed her hand and gently kissed it.
Karin and the rest of the soul society headed back to the soul society after switching the towns back. They stood with their lieutenant in order of squad number. The head captain in the front with Momo and Gin while Jushiro was alone at the back. Isshin was right beside Karin and Shuhei was on her other side. Karin was still in her bankai form. It was hard to get out off, it clung to her like super glue. As they passed many soul reapers who welcomed them back, she could hear their hushed whispers. They were slightly confused on who she and her father was. Only a few recognised her.
"That's captain Yoshida but who is the other male?" She could hear them all whisper.
Karin walked slowly as her breath became heavy. She looked to a tree and it instantly burst into flames. Karin shuffled her feet along the ground. Shuhei noticing her decrease in speed. He couldn't touch her, her flames wouldn't let him.
"Shiro." She whispered then collapsed. Toshiro ran forward and caught her before she fell. He placed her in a bridal style as he held her in his arms. Her flames died down and she turned back into her natural form. All the captains turned around with the commotion.
All members of squad 9 rushed up to Toshiro and Shuhei. They couldn't understand what they were saying as everyone was talking at once.
"Captain Yamamoto, may we be excused to catch up on our sleep. Karin and I are feeling very tired from the fighting." He please hoping that he would say yes.
"Very well, all captains and lieutenants may be excused to rest up. Myself is very tired after using all my spiritual pressure. Isshin take Momo Hinamori and Gin Ichimaru to the cells and place a binding and sealing spell on them." Everyone nodded and went their separate ways. Isshin took Momo and Gin off the head captain and lead them to their cells. Everyone gave a sigh as things were now going to be peaceful.
Chapter 38 everyone, I hoped you liked it and also the little surprise. I hope I explained clearly about Isshin and Karin. Did anyone notice any aspect of her bankai, I did write parts throughout hatred? Well done if you did. I'm sad as after this chapter there is only two more chapters until it is complete.
