Back in school everyone was so immersed with the upcoming summer festival. It had been officially a year now since Hitsugaya had arrived to the human world. It was strange since Soul Society has yet to contact him. But whatever was delaying them didn't bother him too much. He was ready to face Soul Society if they ever decide to go looking for him.
"Aw that's not fair! Why does Kurosaki get to play the princess?!" a female student named Yumi squealed.
Karin released a long groan of utter annoyance. The class continued to talk in excitement. The last role to be announce in which everyone held their breath with anticipation was finally announced. The teacher Sanada-san said loud and clear, "And the prince shall be," the class quieted down to hear, "Hitsugaya Toshiro."
The class gasped as several different reactions were erupting about in the class room.
"Okay now class, settle down, settle down. As you all know we only have a few months to rehearse. Now I want everyone to go home and practice your lines okay?"
A bunch of okay's and whatever's can be heard among the class as the school bell rang. Karin walked over to Hitsugaya's desk, "Man, why do we have to play the leading roles? This sucks."
Hitsugaya nodded, "Orders are orders we can't do anything about it."
"I know but still. I would feel rather content as just an extra."
"Same here."
"Anyways," Karin blushed, "would you like to go play soccer with me?"
Hitsugaya smirked," Prepare for a humiliating defeat."
Karin blinked, "Bring it on."
After a few kicks, bruises, and sweat Karin was now tied with Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya currently had the ball. He ran with the ball moving around fluidly as if it was something he was born to do. Karin suddenly appears beside him and stole the ball. Hitsugaya startled, tripped but manage to catch himself and chase after her.
Karin neared the net as she finally pulled her leg back then released it, her foot pressing sheer force on to the ball which slammed right into the net.
A smile was on her face as the two ate ice cream. Hitsugaya glared at Karin as his wallet seemed a little lighter now for paying the triple ice cream scoops he paid for Karin. Karin giggled, "Aw don't worry Toshiro one day you'll defeat me. Just not in this life time."
"Hn."
Karin giggled once again. She was happy this way. She wished this would last forever. However, she knew better. It's been a year and still nothing. She was on her guard. Karin knew that the day was drawing nearer and nearer. Soul Society will be on their way looking for him and she had to give him up no buts or maybes.
But until that day came, she wanted to spend every last minute she could have with him. She loved him after all and that's the way it will always be now and forever.
