Okay you can completely skip the first part and the rest of it would make complete sense, because the first part is basically to keep the cannon police of my back…Sorry if I sound like a bitch but I'm sick of flame, seriously if you don't like it read something else. Anyway I hope you like it…don't forget to review!

I do not own Bleach it belongs to Tite Kubo

I walked swiftly down the quiet halls of the division one barracks towards the head captain's office. As I went I couldn't help but think back to moments ago when I had told Karin that she would have to wait until I spoke to the head captain before I could do awaken her powers. It had pissed her off and apparently warranted her punching me with all of her strength, and now my shoulder was throbbing with its own heart beat and was turning black. "I'm here to see Head Captain Yamamoto" I stated to the guard who stood at the doors.

"Enter, Captain Hitsugaya." The head captain called from behind the doors, I bowed my head a little to the guard and stepping into the room.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you, Head Captain." I said getting down on one knee respectfully.

"Stand and tell me why you are here."

"Sir, I have a request." I stood up brushing the dirt from my hakama and then stepping closer to the head captain's desk.

"Go on."

"Karin Kurosaki, the sister of Squad Five Captain Ichigo Kurosaki, wants to awaken her soul reaper powers. Kisuke Urahara has offered to train her with the help of Yoruichi Shihoin and Isshin Kurosaki." Yamamoto nodded, and went back to his paperwork, "It has already been determined that the Kurosaki's are to be exempt from the law."

"B-but… when was this decided?" I asked staring at him in shock. He didn't look up at me, only continued as if we were talking about the weather rather than about Soul Society laws that had been in place for hundreds of years.

"Shortly after Captain Kurosaki regained his powers there was a meeting between central forty-six and myself. We discussed the possibility of awakening each of the Kurosaki's powers, and came to the conclusion that none of them would be a threat to the Soul Society or the World of the Living. It is obvious that they have been raised with proper morals, and therefore could be nothing more than beneficial in assisting the soul society."

"With all due respect sir, couldn't the same be said for any human with high spiritual pressure and good morals?"

"But the Kurosaki's aren't only human, Soul Reaper blood runs through their veins. It is their birth right to have such powers and neither they nor the soul reaper who assists them shall be punished. Which brings forth the question of, why are you here seeking permission rather than Kisuke Urahara or Isshin Kurosaki?"

"Karin wants me to awaken her powers. But since we already have permission I guess I should get back just in case an Arrancar shows up." I said turning on my heel, trying to get out of the room before my anger made do something I might regret.

"Wait Captain Hitsugaya." I didn't listen, for once in my life I didn't care what the old man said. I just wanted to be back with Karin, even if it meant that I might kill her.

I sat leaning against the wall in Urahara's shop waiting for Toshiro to return. I had sat here for an hour, the only time I moved was when I went home to eat and change into something more comfortable. But other than that I never moved from my spot, just waiting for him to get back.

His Gigai laid on the floor in front of me, and often I would find that when I would daze off my fingers would brush though his hair or just touch his face. It was during one of these times that a Senkaimon opened up right in Urahara's shop and I pulled my hand back hastily as Toshiro stepped through. Without looking at me a slipped back into his Gigai, and even after seeing it so many times during the past month it still looked odd to me. "So how did it go?" I asked scrambling to my feet. There wasn't even a second to think before I was pinned to the wall by him, with his hands on either side of my head. I was scared, his usually clam turquoise eyes burned with fire and I swallowed hard. "You get your wish; you're going to have our powers." he growled. I wanted to say something: a smart ass comment, something gentle, anything; but my throat was shut tight.

"I refuse to do it tonight." He said firmly, and I got my voice back.

"Why not? How is tonight different from …?" I started out pretty good putting as much anger in my voice as possible but my voice faltered towards the end at his intense gaze. "Shiro?" I whispered, something in him seemed to snap and he grabbed my wrist pulling me out of the shop. "Shiro stop it you're hurting me."

"what's with that nickname? Don't call me that!" he snapped. I stared at him in shock but didn't say anything. I had never seen him like this and I didn't want to find out what would happen if I pushed him too far. Silently I let him lead me through Karakura, but even though we were moving fats I still shivered in the cold night. It was the time of year where even though during the day it was warm and comfortable, you still carried a jacket with you in case you were still out at night when the temperature would plummet. My thin long sleeve black shirt, white skirt and black leggings were all too thin to give me any sort of warmth, Toshiro could probably handle the cold but my teeth were chattering and all I wanted to do was stop and sit down somewhere warm.

We were on the river bank when he suddenly let go of my wrist and shoved his hands into his jean's pockets. My legs felt like rubber and I collapsed onto the cold grass shivering, "W-why are w-we h-here?" I stammered. He looked down to see me rubbing my arms trying to get some warmth back in my body. A worried look crossed his face and he sat down behind me and pulled me into his body, I gasped at the action and my body went rigid, "Relax and you'll get warmer faster." He whispered in my ear. Still a little uneasy I did as he said and he wrapped his arms around my shoulders encasing me in his warmth.

My shivering soon died down and I relaxed even more leaning my head against his chest. "Why did you bring me here?" I murmured.

"I had to get out of Urahara's shop, I felt like I was getting suffocated, but I didn't want to be away from you."

"Why?" I felt him rest his chin on the top of my head and he took a deep breath.

"So many things can go wrong, and I don't want to lose you but there's a possibility that I might." My heart sped up and I hoped that he couldn't feel it, that would just be too embarrassing to explain.

We sat in silence listening to the river and watching the water as it reflected the stars and moon above. It was so cold that our breath would fog in front of us but it didn't reach me with Toshiro's warm body wrapped around mine, and I highly doubted he minded the cold seeing as his Zanpakuto was an ice type. That made me wonder, "Shiro what do you think my Zanpakuto's capabilities will be?" He flinched when I used the nickname and I became curious, "Why do you hate the nickname Shiro?" I asked disregarding my last question. He sighed deeply shifting his body as if he were uncomfortable, "It's what Momo used to call me."

"Who's Momo?" My stomach felt like it was on fire and getting twisted around. I tried to ignore the feeling but it became more intense as his silence drug on.

"She was like a sister to me." He finally said making the sensation recede, "She was Aizen's lieutenant, and she went crazy when betrayed us, she just couldn't function without him. He made her totally dependent on him. And she's never been the same since."

"I'm so sorry." I whispered truly feeling bad for him.

He laughed a little, "Don't feel sorry for me, feel sorry for your brother."

"Oh?"

"She's his lieutenant now."

"Oh."

"Yeah, every time she would walk into his office she'd go nut when she saw him sitting behind the desk. She would attack him with Kido and anything else she could get her hands on. I think she drew her Zanpakuto against him once, and if I'm not mistaken he still has a scar."

"So why don't they move her to a different squad?"

"They've tried but Kurosaki won't let them. He thinks that if they did transfer her she would only get worse, he's hoping that if she sees him there enough times she might come to terms with everything and just accept it."

"So how long has this been going on?"

"Three years."

"That seems like a long time why hasn't he given up?"

"This is your brother we're talking about. He's more stubborn than you are." I gently jerked my elbow back and hit him in the gut making him grunt.

"Well I'll just have to figure out a new nickname for you." I murmured leaning back into his chest, he sighed but didn't say anything else. After a while of silence my eyes started feeling heavy and I couldn't help but yawn what seemed to be every five minutes. "Don't tell me you're already tired. You fell asleep on me already once today."

"Shut up." I murmured, "it feels like that was so long ago."

"Aw isn't this sweet." We both gasped and shot up turning to the voice, Toshiro pushed me behind his back and reached in his pocket where he kept his soul candy.

"Yes, so sweet it makes me want to gag!" The blonde Arrancar nearly screamed, he was a foot away from us in an instant. And in the next Toshiro was thrown aside and I was dragged up by the collar of my shirt, "Those twins may have screwed up today, but I won't. I'll bring you back and take my place as the new premier."

"Let go of her!" I saw a flash of white and the Arrancar let out a howl as Toshiro cut his leg, I was dropped and I scrambled to my feet standing back to back with Toshiro as the Arrancar disappeared.

"Where did he go?"

"Reveal, Camaleón" it whispered, I didn't even have a second to think as I was swept off my feet by a horrible wind. When I regained my sense of up and down I realized that I was being held tightly by the Arrancar and we were suspended in the air.

"Karin?" Toshiro called out looking around as if he couldn't see me.

"Mph-ee-oo!" Was all I could get out and it was muffled so it was obvious it wouldn't reach him down on the ground.

"Be quiet, I'll be damned if I fail because of a child like you." I kicked back but he dodged easily and shifted his hold to my waist, pulling me up against his chest, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. It's your choice." I rolled my eyes and struggled even more.

"Karin!" Toshiro was still calling out to me, couldn't he see me I swear his eyes passed over me more than once. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something vibrant and something white heading towards me. "Saigo no mai… Howaitozefā!" I was encompassed in cold and I looked down to see a sheet of ice covering my skin and becoming thicker with each second. The Arrancar screamed and released me, and I fell screaming hoping Toshiro would finally see and save me before I hit the ground.

"Gotcha!" As I fell into someone's arms I reached out and held on to a black strap and buried my face in my savior's chest and cried. I was being a baby but I didn't care, I had just fallen through the sky thinking about the things I would never get to do if I died and I was happy someone had saved me. I looked up to see vibrant orange and I stared into the face of my brother. I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly like I used to when we were little, "Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you." I sobbed.

He laughed a little and hugged me back awkwardly as he landed on the ground. "Karin!" two voices screamed, I wasn't given the chance to turn around as someone swept me off my feet and hugged me tightly burying their face in my neck. I saw white hair and smiled a little until someone (and I could only guess as to who) pulled him off of me. "Get your hands off of my sister!" Ichigo growled, I quickly went to Toshiro's rescue before Ichigo could kill him. And that was how Rukia found us, Ichigo and Toshiro trying to beat each other up and me on Ichigo's back trying to pull him off of the man I loved.

"Alright you three stop it! I am not in the mood to deal with any childish behavior!" She yelled holding up her Zanpakuto. We all froze and stared at her a little frightened.

"Ichigo, why is Rukia so mad?" I whispered.

"Pregnant." He murmured and I looked down at him in shock.

"I mean it, you have until the count of three, before I turn you into an ice sculpture." She growled, "one…"

"Is she serious?" Toshiro asked.

"two…"

"I wouldn't put it past her." Ichigo warned.

"three…" thud! We all looked over to see a chunks of broken ice, it was the Arrancar that Rukia had frozen solid, which reminded me, "What the hell were you guys thinking! You almost did turn me into an ice statue, Rukia!"

"Well excuse me for trying to save your sorry ass. Next time I won't even bother, I'll just let them drag you back to Hueco Mundo and then I won't come to save you!"

"How is freezing me saving me?"

"We couldn't see you! So I figured if I send out my Ice wave the Ice would form around you and then we could find you!"

"How could you not see me, I was in plain sight!" We were nose to nose by this point, and I didn't care if she was my sister-in-law and pregnant that didn't give her some sort of right to freeze me to death.

"Hey you guys calm down." Ichigo said grabbing her arms to pull her back while Toshiro grabbed me around the waist.

"Stay out of this!" Rukia and I shouted at the same time. Both boys backed off, but their interruption had distracted Rukia and me, now all we did was stand there and glare at each other. Then something really wired happened, Rukia's bottom lip started trembling, then I saw tears shimmer in her eyes and she hugged me crying on my shirt. "I'm so sorry, I was so scared so I just did the first thing I could think of." She sobbed.

How far along? I mouthed to Ichigo over her shoulder, he held up four fingers to signify four months, so I came to the conclusion that Rukia was probably experiencing some pretty heavy mood swings. "It's alright, I over reacted that's all." I assured her rubbing her back a little awkwardly. She pulled away and smiled up at me softly, then sniffling she stepped back and I took a deep breath, "I'm not really that mad, just shocked and a little confused." I explained crossing my arms and looking down at my feet. "It sounded like the Arrancar's mission was to take me back to Hueco Mundo, and then you kept saying the same thing just now, Rukia. So what's going on, why do the Arrancars want me?" I asked looking up at them, Rukia and Ichigo exchanged worried glances and then Ichigo stepped forward.

"They've seen my hollow, but know that I've suppressed it. So they want to awaken your powers and your inner hollow."

"But why?" I whispered feeling my stomach churn.

"They're hoping yours will be just as strong as mine, so that it can destroy the Soul Society."

Yes I know it sucked but honestly I don't care. I swear it will get better and I will pick things up with Toshiro and Karin…I just needed to get a little bit more of my plot in before I go full out war and romance on you guys. If you liked it tell me how much! If you didn't then go find another story, because I am not changing my plot…period. By the way I love critique as much as I love compliments, so please don't be afraid to critique, just be nice about it.
