Title: Teardrops on my guitar
Couples: HitsuKarin. Hitsuhina. Ichiruki. Ichihime.

I do support Hitsukarin & Ichiruki!

"And now presenting! The girl who beat me up in soccer. The girl who is fearless! KUROSAKI KARIN!" the crowd screamed as Karin made her way on the stage. Karin went to the mic stand and looked at the crowd. Then she looked to see Toushirou not even paying attention. All his attention is focused on the girl he loves. On Momo. Karin took a deep breathe as the music began to play. Then she began to sing. Letting every memory sink in her mind.

Drew looks at me I fake a smile so he won't see
What I want and I need And everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful That girl he talks about
And she's got everything That I have to live without

Toushirou looked up at the sunset smiling. Karin sat beside him, kicking a soccer ball as she leaned against the railing with him. "She loved sunsets" he stated.

"Who?" Karin asked as she stopped dribbling the ball to focus on her newly found friend. Who is also her crush. They had been playing soccer together a lot and had became close. This was the first time Toushirou had spoken about the reason why he loved sunsets.

"Momo" he whispered. "We grew up together. She's... amazing. She's strong and tough. But she's also sweet and caring when she needs to be. She can make anyone laugh or smie. She's beautiful too" Toushirou wondered off into thought about his old childhood friend. But Karin knew it. He was in love. And it hurt her because she had grown some feelings that was more than a crush.

But from that moment on. Toushirou talked to Karin about Momo. Constantly. But what what Toushirou never noticed was the hurt in Karin's eyes.

By now Karin had gotten into the song.

Drew talks to me I laugh 'cause it's just so funny
I can't even see Anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love He's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows He's all I think about at night

"TOUSHIRO STOP IT! I'M TICKLISH!" Karin screamed as Toushirou kept poking Karin in the sides.

"Then give me back my haori!" Toushirou said fighting a laugh as he tickled Karin's sides trying to discover she had hidden his Haori.

"I DIDN'T TAKE IT!" Karin shouted as it was muffled with laughter. "Please ! toushirou!"

"Awe how cute!" Rangiku said sitting beside them. Rangiku loved Karin. She could see how Toushirou was more childlike around her.

"OKAY OKAY JUST STOP!"she yelled. Toushirou stopped tickling her, grinning at her with satisfaction. Karin grabbed Toushirou by the collar and pulled him up to her room. She opened the closet where he had been sleeping in and lifted the futon revealing the haori. "Jerk"

"Hey don't mess with a captains haori!" he glared. She laughed and sat down on her bed. Her eyes were focused on something shinny at the middle of the haori. She looked at it. It was a face of a small dragon. "Hey Toushirou what's that" she asked as she pointed to the small chain. Toushirou sat beside her.

"Oh, Momo made this for me the day I got into the academy" he explained as his smile grew bigger. Karin gave a sad smile.

"You love her don't you"

"Of course I do. She's like a sister" he stated.

"No" Karin said looking down at her hands. "You really love her" she looked up at his teal eyes. She felt tears coming but fought them back. "You really do love her don't you Toushirou?"

Toushirou thought for a second then smiled. "Yeah. I really do love her"

Karin nodded as she looked down from her hands. "Go tell her" she whispered.

Karin continued to sing her heart out. Toushirou was now paying attention smiling at her. But not because he knew this song was about her. But because he thought she was in love with someone. And she was. But he'll never know it.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

Karin pulled her knees closer to her chest and cried her heart out in front of her mothers grave. Rukia found her there and sat beside her. The rain was hitting hard. "Everyone's worried about you" Karin didn't say a word and let the tears fall. "Everyone wants to know why you ran off when we announced that you could move in soul society" Karin still stayed quiet. "Karin. Please tak to me."

"I've seen the way you look at Ichi-nii. Do you love him" Karin cut straight to the point. Rukia was heistant to answer. "Even if you deny it I know you do. I coud see it from the way you look at him. And when he continues to talk about that mysterious girl he loves. I coud see that you don't want to hear it because you love him"

"Karin." she paused thinking of the right words to say. "What is this really about"

"Momo and Toushirou are finally together" More tears spilled from her face. "How do you deal with the fact that Inoue is head over hells for Ichigo"

Rukia didn't speak. "I don't know. But something tells me that you need someone. And I'll be there." Rukia wrapped an arm around Karin as she cried.

Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky 'cause

Karin looked towards Momo who was being adored by her boyfriend. Then she turned to see Rukia away from the crowd, in a corner as tears were in her eyes. Ichigo was rambling to Inoue about something and Karin's heart felt Rukia's pain.

Karin was at the park, she dribbled a soccer ball around. Toushirou had stood her up once again. She continued her walk around the park. Her eyes focused on the clear water as Toushirou's eyes popped into her mind. His beautiful teal eyes. She heard some giggling and looked to see Momo running away, then Toushirou smiling and chasing after her. Walking right by her as if she didn't exist. She didn't move for a bit as she heard the laughing and screaming. She finally turned to watch them. Toushirou had finally caught Momo and kissed the top of her head. Karin's couldn't take it anymore as tears leaked from her heart. She walked away in pain. Letting the tears leave trails.

"Hey Shiro-chan. Wasn't that Karin?" Momo asked.

Toushirou just remembered and looked up to see Karin walking away as if they weren't there. "Huh, she must haven't noticed us" he said shrugging as he continued to tickle Momo.

So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight
'Cuz he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
He's the time taken up but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me I fake a smile so he won't see

The song slowly ended as the crowd screamed. Karin smiled at the crowd, waved then got off the stage. Meeting up with Rukia who gave her a hug. "I'm proud of you" Rukia whispered. Karin smiled.

"Thank you Onee-chan" Karin mumbled in her tight embrace.
