3rd Person pov

As Fandom!Karin trained with the Vizards, they each seemed to become curious as to the difference between her and Ichigo, even though both wielded the same power.

"Anyone besides me notice how Karin takes advantage of Tensa Zangetsu's speed and waits for an opening before rushing in before attacking, where as Ichigo just charges in without thinking?" Kensei asked.

"I'm just surprised that Karin actually has to call out her Shikai," Lisa observed, "Ichigo's is always in perpetual Shikai so I'm wondering why it's different for this alternate version of his sister."

"Karin doesn't have nearly as much spiritual pressure as Ichigo," Shinji answered, "But she makes up for it in intelligence. That's why she takes every advantage she has and plans out her combat movements, adapting only when necessary. Ichigo, because of his brute strength can afford to charge in without another though, adapting to the situation as it goes along."

The Vizards watched as Tensa Zangetsu's Getsuga Tensho sent Hiyori flying, following that Karin also shot forward. She placed her blade to Hiyori's throat panting.

"I win," she breathed, "In a life or death situation you would die if you moved." Hiyori gawked, this had never happened when she trained with Ichigo, she was used to beating him up and scolding him for not training properly yet his sister was so much better than him, her current position was proof of that. Karin sheathed Tensa Zangetsu and returned to sealed form. Mashiro then came in with that day's lunch and everyone sat down to eat.

"Say Karin," Shinji said munching on an Onigiri, "What kind of changes are there between your world and this one," he swallowed the food.

"Nothing that you guys would understand," Karin said eating some chicken, "Since Ichigo doesn't tell you anything, you wouldn't understand if I told you."

"Ahhhh, and here I was hoping for some gossip," Mashiro pouted.

"Ah well it's our fault for not talking to Ichigo," Shinji said.

"Does that mean we're gonna after he comes back?" Hiyori asked.

"Course not," Shinji said slurping up some noodles. Karin got a sweat drop.

"Oh wait, I know who you could tell us about," Mashiro asked, "Hey Shinji remember that girl that came in to talk to Ichigo that one time."

"Huh," Shinji looked over to Mashiro thinking, "Oh Orihime-chan," Karin froze and nearly gagged on her rice. Shinji saw this, "Huh, something the matter Karin-chan?"

"I'm suddenly not hungry," Karin got up and went over to another part of the basement.

"What do suppose is wrong with her?" Love asked.

"I don't know, but I got dibs on her leftovers," Lisa said reaching with her chopsticks.

"I'm gonna go see what's up with her," Shinji said standing and dusting himself off.

"I'll go with you," Hiyori volunteered.

"Fine, but keep yourself civil," Shinji instructed.

"Yeah, yeah," Hiyori said.

Fandom!Karin's pov

Stupid, I swung, Stupid, I swung again, and here I thought I could escape hearing that name all the time. Arisawa-Sensei's friend from that mental institute, she creeps me the hell out. I swung again as tears started to form in my eyes, Stupid, stupid, stupid, I scolded annotating each word with a sword swing.

"Something the matter Karin-chan?" I looked over Shinji and Hiyori were nearby.

I wiped my eyes, "Huh yeah I'm fine."

"You don't look it," Hiyori pointed out.

"Something's up with Orihime-chan back in your world, I want to know what's eating you." Shinji said.

"Why does it matter? It's not like you'll ever meet her." I snapped.

"Eh true, but sometimes talking about problems helps you come to grips with them. So what's the story and no fibs."

I put away Zangetsu, "Orihime-chan, what's she like in this world?" I asked with a quivering voice.

"Well I only met her a few times, but I'd say she's a nice girl, kinda spacey, but with a warm heart."

"I see," I spaced my feet out looking down, "Well that nice girl is a complete catatonic doll in my world tears started to form again, "She scares me, when she looks at me with those cold lifeless eyes, I feel like she's staring into the very core of my soul," I wrapped my arms around myself, "I visit her in the hospital with Arisawa-sensei, but I only do it because it makes my Sensei happy, but I don't understand why she visits Orihime so much, she's just a creepy doll when it comes right down to it. Arisawa-Sensei has visited her for six years and she hasn't made any step towards recovery," I tried to draw back the tears and failed, there were so many things I thought of Orihime, but there was one thing in particular I could feel about her, but I couldn't place it in words until I finally said, "I hate her!" Hiyori whacked me with her sandal, Shinji attempted to scold her, but Hiyori must've given him a signal like she knew what she was doing.

"Baka!" she shouted, "How can you say you hate her for what she is? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard! Hate should only be reserved for a person you despise because of something they did to you! From the sound of it there's no reason you should hate her!" Hiyori lowered her voice, "Because she hasn't done anything to you to deserve that hatred," Hiyori looked away, "Don't hate someone because of who they are, because if you do you may wind up regretting it later when that person does something to help you."

"Hiyori," I said, reaching out to her, but she swatted my hand away and ran off with her face in her arm. "Ah Hiyori-san,"

"Let her go," Shinji said.

"What was that all about?" I asked.

"You heard what she said right?" Shinji asked, "Don't hate someone just cus a who they are. Hate em only if they've done something to hurt you. Hiyori made that mistake and now she regrets it, I think."

"Who did she hate?" I asked.

"That's a story best saved for another time." Shinji said.

"Huh?" I blinked.

"When you go back to your world, you should ask the Hiyori you know about this subject, if she wants to, she'll tell you." Shinji said turning his face towards me.

I smiled, "Yeah you're right,"

"And do me a favor, when you meet this other Orihime-chan again, instead of hating her, try feeling sorry for her. Cause it sounds like she needs sympathy, maybe your hatred, though silent is keeping her in her shell." Shinji then walked away.

It won't be easy I told myself, but if you want me to Shinji, then I'll do my best to try. Arisawa-Sensei always talked about the girl that Orihime once was, I'd like to see that girl oneday…someday.

(A/N: And now you know why Fandom!Karin has trouble with the Orihime of her world. However, little does she know, Orihime is on her way to recovery. Bonus points to anyone who can figure out who Hiyori was talking about in regards to the person she hated and regrets hating and also who she's talking about in regards to a person that you should only hate if they did something to harm you. R&R please).
