Karin stared out of her open window. A gentle breeze blew through and softly ruffled her jet black hair. The sun was setting over Karakura, like any other day, like that day when a silver-haired boy appeared. Karin sighed.
"Toushirou," she muttered gently under her breath, his name sounding soothing as she pronounced every syllable. Karin closed her eyes and tried to feel for Toushirou's reiatsu but she knew at the back of her mind that she was never going to sense it again while she was aware of it. She felt panged with sadness, for the first time in her life she had a friend who was more than just a friend. Karin didn't like to admit it but she was sure that somewhere deep within her she would've felt attracted to Toushirou. His angular face, those deep knowledgeable green eyes and his messy silver hair all stood out to her and was etched into her memory. Karin sighed again.
"Hitsugaya Toushi-"
"WHAT?! MY LITTLE GIRL HAS A CRUSH?!" Karin jerked away from her dad as he yelled the words.
"YOU IDIOT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!" Karin demanded angrily, feeling the ever rising anger surge. Isshin smiled.
"You just said a guy's name! Oh I'm going to have a son-in-law soon-"
"SHUT UP YOU IDIOTIC DAD! QUIT SPYING ON ME!" Karin yelled at the man who was know half stuck in the back wall of Karin's bedroom from Karin's kick.
"Oh? You are being serious! I can't wait till I'm a grand-"
"SHUT IT!!!" without another word, Karin kicked her dad out of her bedroom and slammed the door shut. Panting slightly, she slowly turned around.
The sun was already about to disappear. Karin looked deep into the horizon.
Until then, Toushirou.
