Chapter 7: Rangiku to the rescue!
Realizing what position he was in with Karin, Toshiro got very, very scared. Ichigo was walking towards them, looking murderous again. 'So Karin, what was he helping you with this time?' He asked, evilly.
'Well, you see Ichigo, it's, well um…er…' Karin was also scared. Ichigo was incredibly strong and was more than likely to pick a fight with Toshiro. And she didn't want Toshiro to get hurt.
'Ichigo before this fight starts, it has nothing to do with Toshiro and he stays out of it!' Karin stated, trying to sound confident.
'No way, it's not just you in this relationship!'
'Tough, I'm not letting you near him.'
'I'll just fight you first.'
'Don't be so cocky, we're both captain level.' Karin said calmly. 'It's nothing to do with you what I do with a boy, I'm not your little sister anymore, I'm 14. I do what I like.' Ichigo had enough and turned into soul form. Karin did the same. Both drew swords at the same time, both furious enough to kill the other.
Rangiku was walking in the park when she came across this strange sight. She saw Karin and Ichigo with their zanpaktos drawn and Toshiro behind Karin. 'What the hell is going on!?' All three of them turned round. 'Three times I have seen these two too close to each other! The first time he was helping her sword techniques so that was alright I guess, the second time she couldn't walk so that was fair enough but this time there was no excuse and they were the closest they've ever been!!' Rangiku seemed to be in shock. Not because of the fight going all the way to sword fighting but because her captain had gotten too close to a girl. But she thought this was a bit unfair. The first time Toshiro had fallen in love with or at least developed a crush for a girl, she was apparently off limits and the girl in question appeared to like him too.
'Ichigo leave them alone!'
'Are you kidding me!?'
'No, if they want to date let them.'
'Seriously!? He's way too old!!' Karin interrupted:
'I'd like to throw the name Rukia in, Toshiro's younger than her.' Ichigo hadn't thought of that and was now feeling pretty stupid.
'But…but she's my little sister.'
'She's not little though.' Ichigo went back into his body. Now this was all being said he saw reason. 'Karin, I'm sorry, I…I just didn't think abo-'
'It's not me you should be apologizing to.'
'I'm sorry Hitsugaya' Toshiro just nodded.
'Well I think it's time to leave these two alone.' Rangiku said cheering up and winking at Karin. After both of them left Karin and Toshiro kept on apologizing to each other, both sorry about the way Ichigo had accused the other. 'You shouldn't be apologizing to me, he's not your brother.'
'Well I'm still sorry.' Toshiro said smiling. Karin loved his smile.
'You know what we should have done?' She asked
'What?'
'We should've gone somewhere that no one else knows about when I got hurt, it would have saved a lot of arguing.' Toshiro laughed.
'You mean the place where you went when you got upset yesterday?'
'Yeah, although there is one thing you should know about that.'
'Oh, yeah?' Karin stopped, so did Toshiro.
'I felt so much better when you hugged me.' Neither of them could help themselves. But this time no one was there to stop it. Finally their lips met. Toshiro never expected the kiss to feel so amazing. 'What do you know,' Karin started saying, coming up for air, 'The third time is a charm.' Toshiro smiled and leant in for another kiss. But his phone beeped. 'Damn why now?' Rangiku came running, but she stopped by them, having run out of breath. 'Hey Matsumoto, could you do me a favour and take care of the hollow?' Rangiku smiled.
'Of course captain.'
