Chapter 10

After 3 days off of New Year, everyone went back to school and something big happened. On Karin's desk was a bouquet of red roses, Karin took notice of it and stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. Yuzu was squealing in delight and Ururu's eyes went wide at the sight and congratulated Karin. Karin ran her hand through her hair annoyed and decided to give each of a girl a rose since she cannot carry it all around the whole day. All the girls took one either smiling and thanking her or just glaring at her for not being appreciated for not receiving a bouquet of roses and just giving them away like that. But it didn't end just like that, the next day, an expensive box of chocolates was on her desk again and this time Karin shared it with everyone. The next day after that, she got a basket of teddy bears in a soccer uniform she didn't give it to anyone at school but on the way home she went to an orphanage house and gave the kids the dolls. The next day after that, she got a soccer ball which gave her a headache not knowing what to do with this one because she already has one, so instead, she gave it to the orphanage once again.

Karin was grateful yet annoyed at this "secret admirer" (that Yuzu calls it) for giving her so many gifts but in a cowardly way (in her case). When Karin walked into the classroom expecting another kind of gifts but was surprised to see that there was none but a letter, she walked towards it and opened the letter and in the letter, it says "Meet me at the roof before going to the club today" there was no name written on it. Karin knows that if she doesn't go, this will not stop, so she decided to go to stop this entire thing once and for all.

Hitsugaya was leaning against the school gate with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, earning stares from female students who are just walking pass or are just on the way to their clubs. Yuzu noticed him and walked up to him "Hitsugaya-kun!" Hitsugaya opened his eyes and saw Yuzu.

"Yuzu, you're on the way to the club?" He asked. He originally called her by her surname but got shouted by Karin, Ichigo and Isshin since they were all confused, so he has called the twins by their names, Isshin by his previous title and Ichigo… while… still Kurosaki. Yuzu nodded "Yeah, just going to buy some things in the supermarket. Are you waiting for Karin-chan?"

Hitsugaya nodded "After all she asked me to help her with her soccer practice"

"Ah! Then you will need to wait since her secret admirer has finally called out to her~" Yuzu said to him. Hitsugaya nodded in understanding and Yuzu looked at him carefully but was disappointed at the sight of Hitsugaya not showing signs of anger nor jealousy. Hitsugaya opened his eyes again and looked at her, "Are you not in a rush?" He asked. Yuzu shook her head and sighed, her sigh caused Hitsugaya to look at her confusingly feeling that her sigh has something to do with him. "Oi! TOSHIRO! YUZU!" They heard Karin called out to them and they turned around to see Karin with a closed eye grin waving at them. Hitsugaya smiled at the sight and Yuzu smiled and waved back, but the next second, time seems to stop for everyone as Hitsugaya's eyes went wide and Yuzu dropped her arm with her eyes widened. Karin's eyes were also wide as she arched her back and looking up at the sky, she then slowly looked down and saw a knife pierced in the middle of her chest and heard many people screamed especially the girls. She then tried to look behind her to see who it was but couldn't as she slowly loses her physical strength and her eyes started to close.

Hitsugaya was outraged and his reitsu went high not only anyone close to him felt the sudden coldness and ice was forming at the place he stood, so high that the shinigamis in the world of the livings could feel his reitsu and a bit of his power in the air. Renji who was in Urahara's underground training area, Yumichika, Matsumoto and Madarame shopping in a shopping mall and Rukia was in a forest killing a hollow all stopped from what they were doing and looked at the direction of Hitsugaya's reitsu. Even Ichigo, Chad, Ishida and Orihime felt it during their class time in their university and they too stopped their writings and looked outside the window.

"If I cannot have her then no one and I mean NO ONE will have her!" Eiji exclaimed as he pulled out the knife and Karin fell onto the ground. He approached Eiji who holds pocketknife in his hand and has Karin's blood on it and punched his cheek hard causing Eiji to fall and collide to the ground hard. Hitsugaya's breathe quickened and became heavy as he gave Eiji a dark and murderous glare. He walked up to him after he shrugged Jinta and Ururu off of him, he even shrugged off Yuzu's grasp on his arms and Eiji stood up and glared at him. Hitusgaya took a shaky breath and threw a punch at him again but Eiji caught it and he pulled Hitusgaya in and punched him on the face. Hitsugaya staggered back and spit out some blood and glared at Eiji. Eiji glared back and the two began to fight, some students went to get a teacher, Jinta, Ururu and Yuzu were attempting to stop them both but couldn't. The fight was then stopped when the earth shook, "Damn it!" Hitusgaya swore as he turned and around to see a hollow landing right beside Karin's body. The hollow howled and reached its claws onto Karin's body and Hitsugaya's eyes went wide, he quickly popped a soul candy in his mouth and went straight for the hollow and cut his arm off which the hollow cried in pain. "Get the students out of here!" Hitsugaya ordered to Ururu and Jinta.

"You! Protect Karin's body!" He ordered his gigai who nodded and went straight to Karin's body but was pushed aside by Eiji. Eiji picked Karin's body up and ran out of the school with a smile on his face, Hitusgaya noticed his escape and clenched his teeth. The hollow raised his other arm to attack Hitsugaya but before he could land a blow, Hitsugaya already slashed the hollow into two "I'm not wasting my time on you" he said and went into his gigai and ran after Eiji.

Eiji's POV

I was patiently waiting for my goddess to come to the roof by looking at the students who were on their way home or clubs. The door to the roof opened and I turned around to see the beautiful face of my goddess and I smiled. "Oh!? Eiji" She said surprised to see me.

"Hahahaha! Were you expecting someone else being your secret admirer?" I asked after my laugh at her look. "So you were the one that gave me all those gifts?" She asked.

I chuckled and nodded, she too slowly nodded her head in understanding but what she said next surprised me. "Why are you doing this like a coward?" I was speechless and then laughed, she looked at me confusingly and I calmed my laughter down.

"Sorry sorry, I admit that it was a cowardly act but during those times I don't have much courage to give them to you in person without my face getting red" I explained, she nodded and then looked at me waiting for me to say something. I took a deep breath and looked at her seriously, "I love you Kurosaki Karin" I confessed, her eyes went wide and she looked away.

"Thanks Eiji, but… I'm sorry… You're like another brother to me" She rejected me. I was silent and then glanced down at the ground and looked out the fence and saw a certain white head talking with Yuzu. "Are you in love with someone else?" I asked as I clenched my hands into fists.

"…" she stayed silent and I heard her softly replied a yes and I looked up at her. "Who?"

She looked away and placed her finger on her cheek softly scratching it, with a soft small blush. "Is it the guy with white hair and turquoise eyes?" I asked, I REFUSE to say this despicable person's name. She looked at me and started to stutter a no, but I know she was lying. She soon then bowed and apologized to me, saying that she hopes we could still be friends and left. I was angry more than hurt, angry at that white pile of snow, I looked at the door that Karin just left and I placed my hand in my pocket feeling the pocket knife that I brought to school. "You will belong to me Karin! Even in the afterlife!" I claimed as I walked after her. Once I reached downstairs, I saw her waving at the whitey and her sister, I pulled out the pocket knife and ran straight to her and stab the knife right in the middle of her back. Everyone screamed at the sight, but I didn't care, I exclaimed that if I cannot have her then nobody will have her too, especially that jerk. Before I knew it, I was punched away and I landed a few yards away. I struggled to stand up and saw it was that white-haired freak that punched me, his eyes were dark and was glaring at me with bloodlust as Yuzu, Jinta and Ururu tried to stop him but to no avail. He stood before me and he threw another punch at me but I caught it and threw a punch across his face in which he staggered back and he spits out blood and he glared at me and I glared back, soon the two of us started to fight. Throughout our fight, I felt the earth shook very hard and I heard this white bastard swore under his breath as he put a green pill in his mouth. It was then I noticed that he and Karin are the same thing for he can see that black masked monster. He ordered his body to take Karin's body away and I gritted my teeth and I ran up to him and pushed him aside aggressively and picked Karin's body up and ran out of the school with a smile.

As I was running I looked at my goddess in my arms and I smiled at her lovingly. "Don't worry love we will be together now and the afterlife, I will be there even if it means killing that shorty" I whispered to her lovingly and placed a kiss on her cold lips and continued to run.
