The Choice

Just to make things clear, the title has nothing to do with Nicholas Sparks book. Even though I love his books but this story has NOTHING do with him. The name just sounds so fitting for this theme. I know I promised to update Promises and have the story Royal Ball out. It's just that I've been so busy with college and my math teacher doesn't know the meaning of giving us a breather. This story just popped up in my head (March 15) after reading the older stories of Toshiro and Karin, I've been juggling around ideas and this one sounds so much better than the rest. Like I said before I'm a little rusty and I'm sorry if this story ends up crappy. Also it seems like it's a squeal to Unforgettable Love but I don't know yet.

Summary – Karin has died after getting hit by a car when she was on the way home from college. Ichigo is the one to do her soul burial, until they realized that he doesn't need to. She has been a shinigami for 4 years and either of them can open the Senkaimon, when she arrives in the seireitei. Karin learns from Ichigo that Toshiro and Momo are a couple. She doesn't want to believe it because she has known Toshiro for 11 years and they WERE dating for 8 years. But they had to end it for personal reasons (you will find out if you read the story). When Toshiro hears that Karin is attending the academy and living with her brother, he is worried about his safety. Could this all change his decision of leaving her back then? Would their relationship rekindle back to its original place or would it be all forgotten?

Note: I was just figuring out how old Karin was when she first met Toshiro. I'm just going to say that she knew him when she was 10 and started dating when she was 16 and now she is 21. I know that all of these number don't really match up, but let's just pretend that they do.

Karakura Town

Karin were you even looking where you were going? That car just hit you and all you can do is just smile? What were you thinking? Ichigo can't wrap it around his mind of how his sister let herself die. I was thinking that now I can be with Toshiro without any problems interfering. Luckily you're already a shinigami; I don't have to do anything, but when we get arrive in seireitei we will have to attend a taichou's meeting. Then you will go straight to the academy. It will help you with kido and controlling your reiatsu. You might graduate early because you already know almost all of things of being a shinigami thanks to Urahara. Once the taichou's meeting ends, I have to go back home and make sure that your body is taken care of. Yuzu will be upset, but you know how she can be and then goat-chin, he would just cry and be an idiot as always. But lets get going, if you want to grab a few things, get it now.

I'm good Ichi, I just want to go and get better with my zanpakuto. Yes, but I don't want you to cause any trouble for your teachers and getting into fights, I'm counting on you. Don't you worry Ichigo, go and deal with goat-chin and Yuzu while I try not to blow up the seireitei. I can bother Renji or Ikkaku or Rukia or Rangiku, I don't know who else, but I think that's it. You worry too much Ichi-nii. I'll be fine. But Karin I need to let you know that Toshiro Hitsugaya is with Momo Hinamori. They have been together for almost 6 months. So please don't try to go and fight him. I know that you two were together for 8 years. He gave Karin a pleading look. Karin just snickered and smirked at her brother. Didn't you not just hear me? I said that I'll try not to blow up the seireitei and I'll just go bother some of my friends that I know. Fine lets get this over with. Then the Senkaimon opened and two hell butterflies greeted them.

In the Seireitei

A hell butterfly appeared in front of Rangiku. "All Taichou's and fukutaichou's for a taichou's meeting". Once the message was delivered Rangiku finished her sake and went to find her taichou. Taichou! There is a meeting for all taichou's and fukutaichou's right now! She leaned over on his desk and her cleavage were an inch away from his stack of papers. Hitsugaya didn't even look away from his paper and continued to write his report. Okay lets go Matsumoto. They left the office and shunpo to get to the meeting on time. Once they arrived, they can see that some of the taichou's and fukutaichou's didn't look very comfortable. Rangiku went up to Renji to find out why everyone looked uncomfortable. Hey Renji why do you look like you just saw the devil himself? Rangiku got him out of his trace of thought. Oh hi Rangiku. Ichigo is coming with his sister Karin, she died last night by a drunk driver. So Ichigo is dropping her off and going back to the world of the living to deal with their family and then come back to watch over Karin. Also he doesn't want to leave his division alone for too long, even though Shuhei can take care of it while he is gone. Hitsugaya overheard the conversation between Rangiku and Renji and that made him want to faint. Taichou Unohana saw Hitsugaya's face and walked up to him. Taichou Hitsugaya, are you alright? No I'm not okay. What am I going to do Hyorinmaru? I'm going to be killed by her. At least Ichigo hasn't bankai my ass with Zangestu. But still I'm dead. Master don't worry I think we will be fine for now. I don't know who is worse, your ex or her brother? Thanks a lot Hyorinmaru, that doesn't make me any better. Hyorinmaru didn't bother to respond to Hitsugaya. Taichou Hitsugaya are you okay? Taichou Unohana's voice brought him back to reality. Hai I am, I'm fine taichou Unohana. I'm just tired that's all. She wasn't convinced, but she knew that she shouldn't press the issue any further. Then the doors opened and everyone walked in and saw taichou Yamamoto and they went to stand in their rightful spots.

This meeting is about Ichigo's sister, Karin. She died last night by a drunk driver and Ichigo is going to arrive soon with her. Karin has been an shinigami for an awhile, I've heard. So she is going to attend the academy, if she gets bored in classes or causes trouble then she is to be pulled out. She then would be taught by all of us and maybe our fukutaichou's. if any abject, say it now before they arrive. Yamamoto was looking directly at Hitsugaya because he knew about the relationship between Hitsugaya and Karin. He can tell that Hitsugaya was very uncomfortable by this discussion, but he wasn't going to press on the topic right now.

Then there were loud voices outside of the door. Ichigo if you didn't get us lost in the first place, then we wouldn't be late! The taichou's can hear Karin yelling at her poor brother. Or even better, you should have known where the senkiamon was going to end us at! You idiot, maybe I should of opened the senkiamon, and we wouldn't of ended up in West Rukongai! You're a taichou that still can't control his reiatsu! She punches his arm. Ow! Oyi stop that! Put me down Ichigo! No I will not, not until you control your temper! I'm sorry that I got us lost, but we got here, didn't we?! So stop complaining and you don't even know your way around here anyway, Karin! Oh yea?! You want to bet on it?! Just because taichou Hitsugaya and I broke up doesn't mean that I still don't know my way around this maze like place. I've sneaked in the seireitei multiple times when I was dating him. So yes I know my way around. Also you wouldn't of known it because you were always away, or I'm just that good with masking my reiatsu. Are you serious Karin?! Oh now you got me mad! I'm going to kill him after this meeting! Everyone in the room felt sorry for Hitsugaya, but they couldn't help laughing because of the yelling the Kurosaki siblings are causing. Oh you wouldn't! Don't you dare Ichigo! Like I said before, just because he and I broke up doesn't mean that I want him dead. Just let me handle myself. Fine, but if he makes you shed a single tear, then I will personally hunt him down and bankai his ass! Okay Ichigo keep on dreaming. Whatever, let's go in because I bet they have heard our argument.

They walk in and everyone had either a smile or scowls. Are you two done arguing? Asked taichou Yamamoto. Both siblings started to scratch the back of their heads and have nervous laughs. Hai sir! Good, now Karin I want you to attend the academy so you can learn a few more things and I believe Urahara did teach you the basics am I correct? Hai. The deal is that you can attend the academy and if you cause any problems for your teachers, you will be taken out and be taught by all of the taichou's until your ready to graduate. I understand sir and I'll be living with my brother while I attend classes. Hai that is correct and during your free time you can visit any of the divisions either train or study. That's fine with me.

Karin can feel a pair of eyes on her and it is irritating her, so she turned to face them. Would you stop looking at me Kenpachi?! (Ha you thinking that I was going to say Toshiro, nope he is getting the silent treatment from Karin). Why when I want to fight you and see if your just like your brother. He smiled at her creepily. You will not fight her, do you understand Kanpachi? Yelled Ichigo.
