I do not own Bleach
Chapter 52
Morning Toshiro wakes up beside Momo.
Toshiro "She's still asleep? That's weird? Momo wake up?"
Momo "Oh Kira-kun since you and Shuhei-san broke up I thought you should know…"
Toshiro tilts his head brushing his hair out of his face.
Momo "Kira-kun I like you…"
Toshiro tries not to laugh but smiles "Oh Momo."
"Don't tell Shiro-chan I don't want him to know. That's embarrassing."
Toshiro covers his mouth to stop himself from laughing.
Toshiro "Momo. Momo wake up." He gently shakes her.
Momo opens her eyes "Oh it was just a dream." "Huh?" "What a wonderful dream." "What was it about?" "Nothing Shiro-chan. Can I borrow your brush?" "Sure catch."
He tossing her his brush and starts untying is shirt. Toshiro
"Also do you mind? I need to change?" "Shiro-chan it's not like I haven't seen you changing before."
He sighs "Don't watch at least." "Fine. I'm just gonna use your mirror to get ready." "Alright. Do you want a uniform? We're the same size finally?"
Momo walks over to him "We are?"
She measures their heights.
Toshiro "Can you please wait until I put a shirt on?" He says half covering himself. Momo "Hold on? What the heck?! You're taller now?!" Toshiro smiles "Finally!" "Guess puberty is finally catching up to you." "Wish I could say the same thing about you."
Momo blushes punching him "I'm not that flat!!"
Toshiro rolls his eyes "Okay Momo. Just let me get dressed. You can get a uniform from that closet if you want?" "Thanks."
They finish getting ready.
Toshiro "Bye Momo. If ya need me I'll probably be in the Human World." "Okay. I'll be at Squad 3 I mean 5." "Huh?" "Bye!"
Momo leaves.
Toshiro sighs "It's like this every time with her?"
He goes to the Human World to see Karin. Meanwhile Karin!!!
Karin "Aaaaand done! Hey Yuzu? What do you think?"
Yuzu looks and the thing Karin holds up.
Yuzu "Woah! Karin-Chan that's amazing and so cute!" "You think so?" "He'll love it! Don't forget to wrap it!" "Right!" Karin wraps the gift and opens her window. Yuzu "Who'd you get the picture from?"
"Rangiku-san!" "Of course…"
Not much later. Karin sits alone in her room laying down on her phone.
Toshiro jumps up to the open window and sits down "Yo?"
Karin smiles and sits up "Merry Christmas Shiro."
Toshiro smiles climbing inside "Merry Christmas my lady."
Toshiro sits in front of her.
He hands her a box "For you. My lady."
Karin "What is it?" "Open it to find out." "Fine."
She opens the box seeing the sculpture. Toshiro smiles watching her look at it.
Karin "This beautiful Shiro! How did?" "Ice is my speciality."
She blushes slightly "Now I'm embarrassed to give you your gift…" Toshiro smiles "Cute as always Rin."
Karin pulls out a gift and hands it to him "My gifts super lame compared to yours…"
Toshiro opens it. His face turns slightly pink as a smile spreads across his face looking at the pictures of them Ice Skating.
Toshiro looks at her "I love it. Thank you Rin." Karin smiles "Merry Christmas my snowflake." "Merry Christmas my lady."
Ichigo knocks on her door "Aye? Karin? I'm coming in?"
He comes in.
Karin "Yes Ichii-nii?" Toshiro "Hey Ichigo." Ichigo "What the?! Toshiro! You break into her room?!" "I didn't break in." "I left the window open so he could come up." "We have a door ya know!" "If I go through the door I'll end up having to deal with Captain? I don't want to listen to him scream at me over nothing?" "Don't blame you. Speak of the devil. Karin close your window. Now."
She glances out the window and sees Isshin on a trampoline about to shoot himself up. Karin closes it.
Toshiro "That's not gonna stop him. You both know that right?" "It works sometimes."
Isshin breaks through the window "Helllllooooo~" "Told ya." Isshin "Ahhh Toshiro-san!!! It's so nice to see you again!!"
He jumps onto Toshiro hugging him.
Toshiro "Let go of me!" "You've gotten so tall now!! How's the family? Is everything in the Soul Society okay? It's Christmas Eve! Are you and Karin-chan going to be out on a date all day?"
Toshiro kicks him out the already broken window "Stop being crazy!"
Isshin hangs on the edge "What the hell Toshiro?! What if you killed me?!" "You're in a Gigai! Worse thing I could've done is make you get a new one. Or I'd get stuck with you in the Soul Society again!" "Like you'd be so lucky to have me as your Captain!" "That wouldn't be lucky!! That is the opposite of lucky!!!"
Ichigo and Karin sighs watching the two souls argue.
Isshin "Yes it would! I was amazing!" "I did everything! I held the division together and you know it!" "Do you wanna go Toshiro!" "I'll win!"
Yuzu comes in "Both of you shut up!"
They stop.
Ichigo "Oh shit these two souls are bouta die."
Yuzu "You have three seconds to get out. 1."
Ichigo runs out.
"2."
Karin grabs Toshiro and jumps out the window.
"3."
Isshin is sent flying out the window.
Karin "Never make Yuzu mad. That is a death wish." "Noted." "Let's go somewhere away from the crazy." "Yeah."
They spend the day going different places. They end up in the Soul Society just before dark.
They walk past Renji and human girl Tatsuki.
Karin "Hey Tatsuki?" Tatsuki "Hey Karin? Toshiro right?" Toshiro "It's Captain Hitsugaya. Nice to se you again Tatsuki." "You guys know each other?" "Whenever we went undercover at the high school a few years ago Ikkaku called Tatsuki weak and Tatsuki almost killed him." "Oh yeah where is that pin-head? I want a second round!" "Who knows." "He's probably out with his boyfriend Yumichika." "Grrr!" "Anyway Renji is the purpose you brought this human? She hasn't been the Soul Society before? Are you going to train her?"
Renji rubs the back of his neck blushing slightly "Eheh not exactly." "Huh?"
Renji whispers something into Toshiro's ear.
Toshiro "Seriously!? Did Yama already-?!" "Nope!"
Toshiro facepalms.
Renji "Don't give me that Hitsugaya! After all you did way before getting the okay!" "That's different that stayed in the Human World!"
Karin and Tatsuki look at each other.
Karin "Why are you here actually?" Tatsuki "Renji brought me for some reason. I don't really know." "Oh?" "What about you?" "It's Christmas Eve. Me and Shiro were just out." "On a date~" "Yeah?"
Tatsuki smiles at her "Aww. You two are a cute couple!" "You and Renji are pretty cute too ya know?"
Tatsuki's cheeks are covered by a rosy color "We-We aren't a couple!" "Sure~"
They look at the boys who are still arguing.
Toshiro "Abarai I outrank you." Renji "Hitsugaya come on don't pull that card?" "You have to tell Head Captain unless you want to get called out on it in a meeting!" "They called you out in a meeting?"
Toshiro blushes as Renji starts laughing. Toshiro punches his jaw knocking him out
Toshiro "Oh boy? Maybe I should've held back a little?"
Tatsuki laughs and pokes Renji "Wake up idiot!" Karin "Shiro seriously?"
He shrugs "His fault. I didn't hit him that hard. He's gonna wake up in a second."
Renji jolts up "What the heck Toshiro!!" "Do you want me to punch you again?" "No way!! Last time you punched someone twice in a row they didn't wake up!!" "I didn't punch him. I simply slapped him out of the air. And it was just once." Tatsuki "So you're a good fighter I'm guessing? How about a match?" "I do not wish to spar. Squad 11 will spar with you. Ikkaku is there. So is Yumichika." "Renji let's go!"
She drags him away.
Karin "So?" Toshiro "Renji wants to train her. And he likes her." "Called it!"
They walk around for a while. The two end up at Squad 10. They go in this office.
Rangiku "Haha! You two are under the mistletoe!"
Toshiro "What's that mean?"
Karin smirks slightly at the question.
Rangiku "In the Human World when two people are under the mistletoe they have to kiss!" "No complaints but why?" Rangiku shrugs "Why not. Either way!"
Toshiro kisses Karin but hold a paper beside them so Rangiku can't take a picture.
Karin smiles as she pull away "Why do you always taste minty?" He shrugs.
Christmas day*
Karin is with her family all day and Toshiro's with his. Ukitake, Kyōraku, Nanao, and Momo are there.
Momo "Come on Shiro-chan why not?"
Toshiro blushes "Momo… shut up."
Ukitake "How'd yesterday go with your girlfriend?"
"None of your business."
Kyōraku "What did you get her?"
"He made her an ice sculpture." "Aww! That's cute!" "Hitsugaya what did she get you?" "Umm well it's a um picture?" "Of?" "Us?" "Doing what?" "Err uhh um ice skating?" "Aww that's adorable I wanna see!" "Wha- n-no!"
Toshiro gets a text on his Human phone.
"Girlfriend?"
"Yeah."
Message "Hey Shiro? Let's facetime!"
Toshiro rolls his eyes and types "Ok one second I need my headphones."
He plugs his headphones in and calls her.
Karin "Merry Christmas Shiro!"
Toshiro smiles "Merry Christmas my lady."
"Aww you call her 'my lady'?" "That's so cute!" "Take off your earphones we wanna talk to her too!"
Karin "With you're family?"
Toshiro "Yeah can you hear them?"
"Sweetie even if we weren't on the phone I could hear them."
Toshiro rolls his eyes "Anyway what's up?"
"I just wanted to talk. Dad's being weird again. Yuzu is cooking. Ichigo is talking with Rukia and Byakuya."
"Captain Kuchiki is there?"
"Yeah. So are my cousins. Ganju and Kukaku Shiba."
"Those two idiots are your cousins?! Suddenly Momo isn't has crazy!"
Momo slaps him "I'm sitting right here you idiot! And unplug your headphones!"
Momo unplugs his headphones "Hi Karin! Merry Christmas!"
Karin laughs "Merry Christmas. Who else is there?"
Momo takes the phone and shows her everyone.
Toshiro "Yeah I told you Rin. They're here. Why do you think I was using headphones?"
Karin "Merry Christmas everyone!"
"Merry Christmas!"
There's an explosion from Karin's side.
Karin "Kukaku!! I told you!!! No fireworks in the house!! Are you crazy!!!"
Toshiro "Good thing I'm not using headphones now. I would have gone deaf…"
Karin's side
Kukaku laughs "I'm not crazy! I was just testing this!"
Ganju "Who you on the phone with cuz?"
"You idiots… I'm talking to Shiro."
"Shiro? As in Toshiro?"
"Yeah?"
"Tck! Hang up! That cold hearted bastard is stuck up and doesn't understand the true meaning of family!"
Toshiro "I can hear you Ganju!!!"
Ganju "Oh shit he can hear me?! I'm sorry Captain Hitsugaya!! My apologize! Please don't freeze me!"
Toshiro "Rin do me a favor and throw something at-"
Before he finished a soccer ball hits Ganju's face.
Toshiro "That works too."
Ganju "Hey what that for! It's not like he's your boyfriend or something! He's cold hearted he'd never like anyone!"
Literally everyone just face palms.
Kukaku "Is there something we don't know?"
Byakuya "Karin is dating Hitsugaya." Rukia "He asked her out like 5 almost 6 months ago."
Ganju and Kukaku flip out.
Toshiro "Rin you're cousins with them how?"
"Apparently dad's sister is there mother. I guess that Shiba Kaien guy was also my cousins."
Ukitake "K-kaien?! My old Lieutenant?!"
The two families talk for a while.
Christmas night
Toshiro's family watches movies Gin brought and Karin's family visits Masaki's grave.
Toshiro's family
Kyōraku set out drinks for them. Ukitake, Rangiku, and Toshiro drink tea though.
Halfway through the movie Toshiro falls asleep leaning against the side of the couch.
Momo sighs "Should've expected him to fall asleep…"
Toshiro mumbles something in his sleep.
Nanao "He talks in his sleep?"
"Occasionally. Usually when there's something he wants to say, is scared, or has been thinking about it for a long time."
Kyōraku "That's cute. Considering he never says what he means."
Toshiro "Thank you… for all being here… for once…"
They look at the sleeping teen.
"Wh-what did he just?" "Shh!"
Toshiro "I've… always wanted… a family…"
They smile at him.
"So that's what he really thinks huh?" "He only talks in sleep when he really wants to say something or is scared. He doesn't seem scared right now." "He's actually rarely feels this safe? And he never sleeps around anyone unless he feels safe with them. It's safe to say that what he said was his true feelings."
Gin "D-does that mean he finally?"
Momo and Rangiku nod "He trust you." "He might not know it yet but he does."
Gin smiles his eyes completely open "H-he finally trust me…"
"He sure does." "Good…"
They notice a light blush on Toshiro's cheeks and smile.
"He's definitely different." "At least he's accepting everything." "Karin helped a lot."
Momo smiles "Speaking off watch this. Also don't tell anyone. Especially not him."
"Okay. What?"
Momo changes her voice to sound more like Karin "Hey Shiro? It's me Karin? I love you."
The sleeping Toshiro smiles "I love you too princess."
"He calls her 'princess'?" "And 'my lady'?" "He was raised around girls his whole life. He knows how to treat one right."
They smile and talk quietly.
Gin looks at everyone "Merry Christmas. Family. After all those years of being apart we are finally together."
"All the years of us fighting together." "Trying to spend a holiday together." "Living in hiding." "All the living lies." "Hidden truths." "Finally out." "And we're all together." "As a family."
End chapter!!!
I only have like 2 more Chapters before I start actually writing again. So far all of this was old stuff but after the New Years chapter everything will be new. Also after I get the rest I'm probably updating less and there will be less dates. Only dates will the ships going out! [haha puns] And of course holidays and anniversaries and birthdays.
