Ch. 3 – Reunited
Karin ran from her house to Karakura Park dressed in jeans and a UVERworld graphic t-shirt. She was late and she knew Ichigo would be pissed.
"What took you so long?" Ichigo asked holding in his anger.
"Look I over slept, no big deal," Karin said trying to catch her breath. Ichigo sighed and turned around, "Listen, it's not just going to be you, me, and a few of my friends."
"Okay."
"Someone came back for a visit," a glint of happiness sparked from his eyes as a person walking beside Ichigo smiled. Karin couldn't believe her eyes.
"Rukia-nee?"
"Hey Karin."
"Oh my god, when did you get back?"
"Just a few days ago."
"Oh, anyways it's so great to see you again," Karin, said dumbstruck. After all the greetings, fusses, and arguments on who was going to what stand; the three of them finally came to an agreement that they would go watch the ceremonial parade.
Not too far from them a girl with the same orange shade of hair as Ichigo was on her tip toes flailing her arms about as if she was doing some sort of crazy ritual.
"Ichi-nii, isn't that Inoue?" Karin asked pointing to the orange haired female. Ichigo and Rukia turned their heads towards Inoue. A wide small formed upon Ichigo's face once he saw Inoue and the people she brought with her.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the rest of us are on vacation" Rukia said smiling as she made her way to the three people standing beside Inoue.
"Oi! Ichigo, long time no see," Renji said with a smirk.
"Same goes to you."
Rukia slid her hand into Ichigo's as the group began to chat and catch up on old times. Karin remained where she was watching the group of friends catch up. She felt a little out of place. She knew everyone there were extremely close with each other because of the events of the Winter War. Even so, she couldn't help but feel a little left out.
Karin remained watching and observed the three new people that had just arrived with Inoue. The one that was tall muscular and had tattoos everywhere was Renji according to her brother and Rukia. The next one was a strawberry orange haired female that was busty and had a wide grin plastered onto her face was Matsumoto.
Slowly, Karin's eyes made their way to the last person of the group. Suddenly everything froze all around her. Her eyes widen as a million thoughts ran through her head. She couldn't help but stare at him. Karin did not blink. Not once. She didn't know what was going on and completely missed the fact that 'he' was now staring at her.
"Toshiro?" was the only thing that came out of her mouth.
