Finally finished! Today we are introducing a new character! and it's not Hinamori , don't worry (she comes later). we can all focus on Hitsugaya and Karin. So enjoy! XD
It's been three days since I met him. I'll only be in Paris until Monday. My dad took us backpacking the other day, which was stupid cuz he couldn't even go a mile without complaining, so after that we just took a train all over France. So today, Wednesday, we're going sight seeing (ugh).
7:30AM
BEEP BEEP BEEP click... I sighed. The sun was just coming through the curtains in our suite. I looked around for dad, but he was no where to be seen, A note was stuck under the clock. It read:
Dear Karin,
I went for an early morning walk and thought since I was already out, you could just meet me at the Eiffel Tower. Here's a map of the place. Hope you don't get lost, hahaha!
Signed, your dad.
The first thing I thought was wtf? What does he mean "don't get lost"? Crazy dad.
I jumped out of bed and headed to my suitcase to get dressed. I braced myself for whatever was in there. Of course, I thought. All the thing in my case were new, bought by Yuzu expectantly. That was the last time she was ever going to let her twin pack her stuff. And where in the world did they get the money to afford all this? Poor Ichi-nii. She picked a nice light beige sweater and some sandblasted jeans. The sweater fit her perfectly, reaching half way down her thigh, hugged her curves in just the right way, but she kinda thought it was too girly and rolled up the sleeves. It made it just a little more tolerable.
The roads weren't so crowded which made it easier to find the park in front of the Eiffel tower that dad wanted to meet in. It didn't make it easier to ask people for directions, though. And to top it all off, she didn't even know a single French word. What was her dad thinking, letting her find her own way there? He knew she had no sense of direction.
Then she just thought of giving up her stupid search and went into a café to get some breakfast. She had already been wandering around for 30 minutes. Since it was such a nice day out she ate outside. Where was a person to talk to when you needed it? Oh, there I go again, she thought. Karin would always think about Hitsugaya aimlessly if she was bored. It was kind of embarrassing, so she would try focusing on other random things, only because she had already figured out why she would think of him so much. Like the nice weather today, how delicious the food here was, how the hell she was gonna find her dad in this city, how good the fresh bread in the bakery across the street smelled, and how cute the white-haired guy at the counter was. Wait……. WTF?! HITSUGAYA?! She instantly got up to get a better view. Yup. It was definitely him, the same face, the same hair, the same gorgeous eyes, everything. Was fate playing some kind of fun prank on her? What were the odd that this would happen? Just when she missed talking to him.
Then he turned around to leave only he had noticed her too. The expression on his face couldn't have been more priceless.
"Karin?!" he said. It was so unbelievable, that I was hearing his voice right now that I couldn't even speak. For the first time in my life, I was speechless. He walked over.
"So what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Ahaha, I kinda got lost….." I said. How stupid was that? I even had a map in my hands, and I got lost.
"So then where are you going?"
"The park next to the Eiffel tower. I need to pick up my dad" I said. I made it sound like he got lost first.
"Oh? Well that's where I'm heading too. It's pretty close to here, so I'll just lead you." He said. I paid the tab for the food, not at all feeling satisfied, but I could probably last for another 30 minutes.
"So what are you going to do in the park?" I asked.
"Meeting someone." He replied.
"Matsumoto?"
"Actually, someone else." He said with a smile. Then I wondered who he was meeting. I guess I'll find out sooner or later, I thought.
"So where is she?"
"Shopping." He said rolling his eyes. I could tell he was really happy to be busy right now.
The park was near there. It was pretty much turn left, turn right, turn left and your there. And I can't believe I missed finding this! There were cherry blossom tree everywhere, petals falling to the ground and making it look like it was raining flowers. The Eiffel tower was practically right at the end of the park, so in the background you could see it.
We sat down on a bench. I looked around.
"So do you see your dad anywhere?" he asked.
"No. How about you?"
"No, but she never had a thing for time so it's alright" he said. Oh, so the person he was meeting was a girl. I got a little jealous. GROWL I put my hand on my stomach. Oh man, how embarrassing. Then Hitsugaya took out two pieces of bread.
"Want one?"
"Eh? Oh no I really couldn't"
"It's ok, I bought a lot anyway." Which seemed true enough so I ate it, and it was delicious. Like melt in your mouth good, and it was warm.
"Mmmmmmm, so good!" I said. Hitsugaya nodded.
"Shiro-niichan" someone yelled. I looked up and saw a really pretty woman. She had snow white hair just like Hitsugaya, and a hair style just like Mio from Desire Climax. Her eyes, though, were ruby colored. She wore a black and white striped sweater with withered and worn jeans (which wear probably on purpose) with a hole on the left knee. Well, at least I liked her style.
"Koyuki!" Hitsugaya said.
"Sorry for being late, Nii-chan. Did you wait long?" she said.
"No not really. I had company anyway" he said and pointed to me.
"Hi I'm Kurosaki Karin." I said and extended a hand. She shook it.
"Hitsugaya Koyuki, Toshiro's younger sister as you probably figured out. His real, blood related sister." She said. And here I was, being jealous of her sister! I am so silly. I can't believe I had that feeling in the first place. And she was the younger sister? But she was at least a foot and a half taller than Hitsugaya. She must've gotten the tall gene instead of him. All three of us started to walk out of the park and in the direction of the first district. I had the strangest feeling like I was forgetting something, but I brushed it off.
"So how old are you?" I asked.
"I'm only a year younger than Nii-chan, 14" she answered. Only a year and she was already taller than her older brother! I gave Hitsugaya a teasing nudge in the elbow. I also had a sly smile on my face.
"Urusai" he said annoyed. He obviously knew what I was trying to say. I laughed a little.
"So how old are you, Kurosaki-san?" she asked.
"15 and you can call me Karin" I said. Koyuki nodded.
"Karin-chan then." She said.
Hitsugaya POV
I don't know why but it feels like someone is watching me. I looked over and saw it was Koyuki, and she had a silly smile on her face. Like Matsumoto's smile when she knew something.
"What?" I whispered.
"You like Karin don't you?" she said with the same smile plastered on her face.
"What? Of course not!" I exclaimed, but she wasn't fooled.
"Oh but you do. You're blushing." Dammit. Nothing ever got passed this woman. "I saw you looking at her clothes in the park. You think she's cute, don't you?" she said with an accusing/teasing tone. I looked away because my blush deepened. Why were we having this conversation anyway? If she knew she didn't have to tell me.
"And you point is?" I said annoyed and trying to end this. She just shrugged and said "Nothing. I just wanted to make sure." I sighed. If she were Matsumoto I would have given her an earful, but I just love my sis too much. I brushed it off.
I knew where we going already. To Koyuki's condo in the first district.
Back to Karin
We finally stopped in front of a massively tall building. I marveled it. It was taller than any skyscraper that I'd ever seen. I actually had a Japanese theme to it. We went inside, and it was like I stepped into a Japanese mansion ((like the Katsumi-ooji manor in the bleach filler)). Koyuki greeted the man at the front desk and headed to the elevator. She took out a card and put it into a slit next to one. The elevator door opened.
She looked at me and said, "This is the only elevator that goes to the top floor."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I own the whole top floor. That's my condo" she replied. I couldn't resist having my mouth hang open. Hitsugaya laughed at my expression. Was the entire Hitsugaya family freakin rich or something?! Koyuki say my expression and explained.
"The condo was payment for designing the tower."
"Wait. You designed this whole beautiful tower?!" I said.
"Yeah. I'm kind of an architect, and thanks for the compliment." she said. What?! She was only 14 for peats sake.
"Don't dwell on it too much." Hitsugaya whispered.
"But how did she become an architect at this age?!" I whispered back.
He shrugged. "She has her ways." And the elevator reached the top floor. I was actually very curious as to what the condo looked like on the inside. She took out her house keys and unlocked the door. It was a lot different than the rest of the tower.
But unbelievably beautiful. When you opened the door you could hear chimes, which were attached to the door, and the first thing you would see was a huge colored window bordered with five normal windows, like the ones you see in a church, reaching from the ground all the way up to the ceiling ( the ceiling was, like what, 40 feet tall?). There were dark curtains next to it, and normal windows to the right wall on either side of the fire place, a TV above it. Then to the left were the spiral stairs and a mural behind it. There was no paint because obviously the window made enough colors. The furniture was kind of contemporary, but still fit in perfectly. The floors were, as I recognized, bamboo wood.
"Ahhhh. Good to be home." Koyuki said with a smile.
Yay! This chapter was longer than the last (which I am so glad about) I always thought it would be cool if Hitsugaya had a sister, so I created Koyuki (name means child of snow). If you hate the idea then too bad because she's the third most important person next to Karin and Hitsugaya, but her career might be far fetched... Oh and FYI:
Hitsugaya: age 15, Third year junior high school
Karin: same
Koyuki: 14, second year
Just in case you didn't get that. PLZ REVIEW NOW!!
