FAITHFUL BLEACH FANFIC READERS!!! I have to say, I take quit a liking into this fanfic after reading it again like yonks later... So I'm going to add another chapter to it! Based roughly around Diamond Dust Rebellion time ^_^ Hope you guys like it! You guys know I LOVE reviews, so uh... ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!

It was raining. Heavily. Karin sighed as she dragged her feet through the rain.

What am I doing out here again, this early in the morning-?

"MAY THE SPIRITS ALWAYS BE WITH YOU!" the black-haired girl slipped backwards in panic as a man jumped in her path.

"What the-?!"

"BWAHAHAHAHA!" Karin frowned then rolled her eyes at the man who now had his arms crossed over his chest. He was wearing his red outfit and usual black sunglasses, the ends of his moustache flying upwards as he bellowed.

"Na! Shut it old man! AND QUIT BLOCKING OTHER PEOPLE'S HOUSES SO EARLY IN THE DAY!" Karin screamed and aimed a punch towards Don Kanonji's nose.

"Ahhhhh ittaaaiiiiii," he moaned pathetically while Karin stamped a foot down on his head.

"Oh shut up. If you're looking for Ichi-nii, he's out," she said, her tone etched with boredom. Since he's the powerful one and probably kicking Hollow butt.

"Ooooh, I was actually looking for you and Yuzu! The protectors of Karakura must rise again against evil spirits!"

"Haaaah? Does Jinta and Ururu know 'bout this?"

"OF COURSE!" he yelled, in bad-accented English. Karin rose an eyebrow, she didn't understand what he'd just said but from the way he recovered so quickly, she went with her gut instinct.

"Whatever, what are-?"

"TAKE THAT, JINTA-SAMA'S SUPREME ATTACK!" from no where, a flash of red zoomed down towards Karin and Don Kanonji.

"WHAT ARE YOU-?!" Karin began but Jinta sailed over them and his attack connected with a snake shaped Hollow. It screamed in agony as Jinta stuck his foot in the Hollow's eye.

"Oi! What are you idiots doing down there for? Hurry up and get this git out of here!" Jinta yelled, jumping off the Hollow's head as it began swaying its massive ugly head from side to side.

"Tsch, speak for yourself!" from her backpack, Karin pulled out her football.

"Allllright, Karin Hyper Dragon Charge!" how did I not feel its bad ass reaitsu?! she thought to herself as her kick sent the ball colliding into the Hollow's other eye.

"K-Karin, are you OK?" the girl turned around to find Ururu, shouldering her massive bazooka looking tired as ever.

"Of course, this Hollow just needs a lesson or two. a, quit sneaking up on people and b, quit eating souls!" she kicked the Hollow hard as she uttered the last three words. Why do I feel this anger? As Karin's feet touched the ground again, she panted heavily and leaned down on her knees.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Get out of my way, Kurosaki."

"Oi, that's not going to clear your name!"

"Get. Out. Of. My. WAY! Sit upon the Heavens, HYOURINMARU!" Karin's head snapped up as she felt two suffocating reaitsus submerge her. No way... It can't be!

Then she ran.

"Karin! Where are you going?" Don Kanonji shouted after her but she careered on. I will see him! I will!

Yeah, next part gonna be uploaded soon!!! Thanks for reading!
