She leapt towards the masked robber, her foot flicking in an upwards motion- connecting with a clear thud on his chin. The robber stumbled backwards, raising his gun in response. Karin spun around, and her ankle catching his wrist- forcing his hand to release the gun with a clatter. Ouch, Karin winced, That's gonna leave a bruise. "You bi-" Before he could finish, Karin rushed at him with a punch to his face, while her knee was making way to his nether regions. He doubled over in pain, while his companions stood in shock- unable to process what just happened.
I took aikido classes for three years, Karin thought smugly, Bring a tank next time, if you want to mess with me. Her chilling gaze flickered towards the two remaining robbers, who managed to recover some cognitive ability. One ran towards the fallen gun, whilst the other ran towards Karen. Karen's eyes widened- the gun was- Hitsugaya stepped in front of the fallen gun, hand coolly in pocket and cleanly kicked the guy's face. crUNCH. Karin winced, as two teeth came flying out of the man's mouth.
"Where you looking at you fu** ugly bi***!" The robber running at Karin screamed. Her eyes narrowed at his comments, as she managed to just avoid his punch, and struck his nose with her elbow. Before he had a chance to retaliate, she grabbed his ears, and pulled down, smashing his head onto her raised knee. "F***" He mumbled, before he slowly slid down, hitting the floor with a thud. Ya nong, first rule of fighting, you don't warn the person your going at them, She thought as she stared at the fallen man.
The cashier was a sobbing mess. Karin tried to comfort the young man whilst calling the police to report the attempted robbery. Hitsugaya, in the meantime, was binding the robbers to ensure that they wouldn't escape. As she gently rubbed the back of the hunched girl, Karin let out a small sigh. And all of this because I wanted pudding.
"So somehow, you ended up at my front door. Pudding-less." Yuzu wryly commented, her blonde eyes flickering over to the bruises that covered Karin's ankles and knees. Next to her, Hitsugaya sheepishly ran his hand through his hair. And then, as though he had a light bulb moment, he animatedly dug around in his plastic bag, before pulling out a caramel pudding.
"I have a pudding!" He cutely exclaimed, before his excitement dimmed a little, "If you want some that is." Karin snorted in laughter, but turned away from the judging looks of Yuzu and Toshiro. This boy is almost as dumb as he is pretty.
Hitsugaya's eyes narrowed in suspicion, "You just thought I was dumb didn't you?" He accused Karin. Karin's eyes widened and shook her head fervently to deny the accusations.
"Why would you think that?" She denied, "These are groundless false accusations!" Yuzu rolled her eyes as the two began to grapple at each other.
"You guys, come in before the neighbours get any weird ideas. Hitsugaya hand me that pudding."
Karin sulked as Yuzu took the pudding from Hitsugaya, her eyes narrowing at the pretty boy. Feeling an urge to remove the pout off the boy's face, she pinched his cheek and dragged him to the living room. God, she almost melted inside, His cheeks feeling like marshmallows and the skin is so soft. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, oW!" The boy complained the whole way before Karin finally let go off his cheeks.
"KarinN!" He howled in disbelief as he nursed his cheek which now had a pinkish red tinge in a triangular shape, "It hurts ya know!" He pouted, as he poked the reddened skin, "What if me skin got super stretched and it never returned to its original elasticity?" Karin resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and stuck her tongue at the petty boy.
"Calm down there boy with the big words," She laughed, "Wanna play some wii games?" Hitsugaya nodded enthusiastically, the throbbing pain subsiding in his cheeks. He's like a puppy, Karin thought, a wide smile forming, How'd I ever think he was scary? "What do you want to play?" Karin asked, as she piled game cases on top of game cases, "Mario Kart, Mario Party, Super smash..."
"Super smash! What the heck I haven't played that in forever!" Karin smirked, the pretty boy doesn't know what his in for. She handed him a remote, and they both sat back on the same bean bag. "What the heck," Hitsugaya whined, "This my bean bag!"
Karin waved the remote in his face, "Lets talk after round one."
Hitsugaya smirked, "Consider your ass kicked, Kurosaki."
Thirteen rounds later, and my ass is not kicked. At All. Karin smirked, and snuggled into her bean bag, of which she had sole possession of. Hitsugaya, however, had been relegated to resting against the glass table which was decidedly less comfortable. She turned to gloat her success at Hitsugaya who had been sulking at his lack of success at the game.
"You rigged the game," He declared after a few minutes of brooding, "Let's play a new game."
Karin shrugged, "It's not my fault you didn't know Pit could fly, but yeah sure which game?"
"Mario Kart!" Hitsugaya almost shouted, "Let's go! Bean Bag on the line!" Karin gulped. Of all the games...
But she couldn't back down on the challenge. She couldn't allow this blemish the Kurosaki name. "You're on." She stubbornly declared.
She fell off the map three times on the first lap, and Hitsugaya laughed so hard he came second last. "You're SO bad at this game," He laughed, as he pushed Karin off her bean bag. She sulked, and held up two fingers.
"Round two pretty boy, you're going down."
"Rainbow Road, no regrets yeah?" Hitsugaya asked, as he pressed the buttons on the remote to customise his kart.
"Lets go MariNO," Karin replied, her avatar settling on Luigi.
"Whatever LuigiHOE," He replied gamely. "Make sure you don't fall off yeah?"
"Shut up," She replied, eyes transfixed on the screen, fingers spamming the 2 button. Through some miracle of god, halfway through the race, she was coming first. "Hell YEAH!" She exclaimed, casting a smug look to her opponents screen which had indicated his 7th place in the race.
"This is so unfair, you got two bullet bills in a row!" He grumbled, as he turned his whole body left, as though it would help with the steering of the kart. It didn't.
Karin shrugged, as she she got a golden mushroom. "You snooze you lose honey." Then she got lightning'ed by Baby Toadette. "F**** wants to die," She cursed as she watched the shrimp skate past her. "This is a crappy game, " She complained as she watched her ranking drop. Hitsugaya smirked as he passed Luigi's kart.
"You snooze you lose right?" He crowed, as he passed the finish line in 2nd place. Karin bowed her head in defeat as her Kart finished in 9th place.
She glared at him, "Shut up, when are you even going home?" He pouted and looked at her with his puppy dog eyes.
"Aren't you the one who invited me to stay as long as you want?" Yeah and I'm starting to regret that, Karin thought. "You're regretting it you little sh**,
Hitsugaya pouted.
"Am not!" Karin denied, pinching the cheeks of the boy. "This what you get for being cheeky boy." How did I even get into this scenario, grumbled Karin, as she stared into the entrancing blue eyes of the white hairs boy.
"This f*** b**** let me go you f***!" The masked men yelled as they were removed by the police. They sure like to swear a lot, Karin noted as she watched them being forcefully dragged away. Her attention redirected back to the man standing in front of them, decked out in fancy badges. What's the point of so many badges, Karin thought, Do they shine so brightly that it blinds the enemies eyes.
"So you're saying. You and Karin-chan beat up three grown adult men with a gun." Karin watched Hitsugaya nod eagerly, before deflating in disappointment when the policeman snorted in derisive laughter. "That's amazing!" Then he turned serious, "But don't do that ever again okay? You could have been seriously injured! Or killed!"
Karin and Hitsugaya nodded sheepishly, avoiding the eyes of the senior man. He sighed, and jotted something down on his notepad. "Well you'll have to come with us to the police station and give us your details."
Karin winced, Ichigo will kill me over this. Then she noticed Hitsugaya's uncomfortable shuffling, she knew because he looked exactly like he did on the first day of school when he was surrounded by all his classmates. "Whats the matter?" She whispered to him.
"Ummmm... I don't have a proper place of residence," He whispered back. She nodded, probably something to do with his foreign-y status or something. Don't stress the details.
"You can crash mine," She told him, and his eyes widened in gratitude.
"Sheesh they sleep like logs," Yuzu sighed, as she gently tucked the blankets around the two sleeping figures of Karin and Toshiro. They were both so quiet and peaceful when they weren't arguing over something stupid. And unconsciously Toshiro draped his arm around the sleeping Karin, whose mouth curved into a smile. "You guys are going to see Hell in the morning, " Yuzu giggled.
