Chapter 11
Hitsugaya's POV
I ran after that bastard and saw him saying something to Karin's body but I couldn't hear what he said but what he did next was unexpected and I clenched my teeth harder at the sight of him kissing my girl. As I was running behind him I was planning on how to tackle him, he then turned to a corner and I thought of an idea to tackle him at that corner. I then turned the around the corner ready to tackle him but instead of seeing that monster that is holding on Karin's body, I didn't see him, I bit on my lips so hard that I tasted my own blood. I fell onto the ground and I screamed in rage as I began to punch on the ground repeatedly.
Hyorinmaru's POV
'Master!' I called out but he ignored me and continued to punch on the ground repeatedly with tears flowing freely. It didn't take too long for the floor to be painted by his blood and as well as his hands. I feel so useless, I can't do anything to help him and ease his pain as I continued to watch my master cry in pain not from punching the ground repeatedly but from losing his love one.
3rd POV
In the living room of the Kurosaki household; Yoruichi, Urahara, Ichigo, Chad, Ishida, Rukia, Orihime, Renji, Matsumoto, Yumichika, Madarame, Yuzu, Ururu, Jinta and Isshin were either sitting on the couch, floor, leaning against the wall or just simply walking around. The air in the room was tense as they all waited for Hitsugaya's return, "Damn it!" Ichigo yelled which caught everyone's attention onto him. "I'm going to go look for him" Ichigo claimed and he headed for the door once he pushed himself off the wall but was held back by Rukia.
"Wait Ichigo! Just wait a bit longer" Rukia said, Ichigo turned around and raised his voice.
"NO! I have enough of waiting around doing nothing!" He said and as he turned around everyone heard the door opened and they all turned around to see Hitsugaya. Matsumoto gasped at the sight of her taichou, it was a side that she has never seen before, Hitsugaya looked up when Ichigo pulled him by his collar.
"WHE-" Ichigo stopped his question when he saw that Hitsugaya's eyes are kinda swollen, Hitsugaya then slapped Ichigo's hands hard which caused Ichigo to let go of him. Once he was free, he walked towards the place where everyone was, Ichigo walked behind him and Hitusgaya felt everyone's gaze on him expecting him to tell them that they found him. He shook his head and looked down in shame, Ichigo walked to the wall and punched on it while biting his lips, Yuzu started to cry and Isshin sighed in despair. Urahara walked up to him and placed a hand on Isshin's shoulder, who nodded in thanks and stepped onto the backyard. Everyone was feeling sad but they held their tears as they try to console the ones that are crying over the death of Kurosaki Karin. Hitsugaya couldn't stand the atmosphere in the living room and left the house while Matsumoto looked at her taichou with sadness and concern.
After Hitsugaya left the place, Yoruichi then spoke up. "I'm sorry for your loss Ichigo, Yuzu" Yuzu's cries turned into sniffles, while Ichigo still looked away from them. Tears pricked the sides of his eyes but he held them back, Rukia and Matsumoto also tried to hold in their tears while Orihime was sobbing, Chad was trying to soothe her but to no avail as he was sad too. Everyone was sad and Urahara spoke up, "I'm sorry for your loss Ichigo, Yuzu. But Karin isn't gone forever, she's a shinigami now" everyone then looked at him and he looked at him with seriousness in his eyes.
"Then Karin-chan is… could she be…" Rukia started to ask and Urahara nodded. Her eyes widened in realization and opened her soul pager and called someone.
"Hello?" the voice from the other side greeted in question
"Nii-sama!" Rukia called out
"What is it Rukia?" He asked in a serious tone
"Can you help us look for Ichigo's sister?" She asked in urgency and hoping that he will accept
"Do you mean Kurosaki Karin?" He asked
"YEAH! … Nii-sama how do you know her name?" Rukia replied and asked, however, Byakuya didn't reply her. It was then silent at the other side and Rukia started to get worried and everyone else started to get worried as well. "Very well… Once I find her, I will inform you and will have her reside in the Kuchiki mansion" Byakuya agreed and Rukia sighed in relief, which everyone also sighed in relief as well. She thanked him and ended the call. Everyone decided to look for Karin in the world of the living since there is also a possibility that she will still be in the world of the living since she has lots of places that mean a lot to her in the world of the livings.
Hitsugaya was at the rails where he and Karin met for the second time after their first meeting. He leaned against the railings and was looking at the setting sun as memories of their first meeting flashed through his mind. 'Master… Karin-sama is still alive' Hyorinmaru stated, but Hitsugaya ignored him as he stared out blankly.
Hyorinmaru sighed at his master's actions and lack of response from him, but he didn't give up.
'Master why are you so angry?' Hyorinmaru asked
Another silence and Hyorinmaru asked another question 'Do you think Karin-sama will still be in the world of the livings?' But he got nothing once again. Hyorinmaru was getting agitated at his master's lack of response and he said something that snapped Hitsugaya out of his gaze. 'She means a lot to you isn't it? To the extent of fighting with a human that has ended her life' Hitsugaya looked down and talked back to Hyorinmaru.
'She's dead Hyorinmaru…' Hitsugaya stated
'Technically… not yet' Hyorinmaru argued
'She still has the life of a shinigami' he added, Hitsugaya ignored his statement and got up.
'Master… please wake up, Karin-sama is not dead yet. She's still -'
'ALIVE! I KNOW THAT! BUT… Soul society isn't a paradise… one wrong action she could die again… and I could lose her forever…' He trailed off at the end. Hyorinmaru stayed silent and looked at his master with sadness in his eyes and then he asked 'When did you care whether you would lose her forever or not? Aren't you the ice prince? Didn't you claim that she means nothing to you?' Hitsugaya stayed silent not wanting to answer his question and there wasn't a need to because Hyorinmaru already knew and Hitsugaya knew, they both knew. They both knew that Karin is already in his heart, so then Hyorinmaru said one last thing to Hitsugaya before going away. 'Find her, and protect her at all costs so that we both don't have to lose our treasures again' and Hyorinmaru left after saying that leaving Hitsugaya to look forward and started to run to any places that he could think of where Karin as a shinigami could be.
