I Love You

Karin's POV
.

Ding Dong Ding Dong

"Oh my gosh, Karin" Yuzu said nervously. I just looked at her still contemplating to open the door or not.

Shit the doorbell, don't tell me it's one of the cruise staff, no please no, not this time not this time that I have finally realized that I will not let Toushirou wait anymore, no please.

"It may be a cruise staff, but how do we know that?" Yuzu asked me worriedly.

Now that I think about it, how? Oh yeah I remember

"I think from the brochure I saw, they wear shirts with their logo embroidered on the upper left" I said trying to calm myself.

"Karin, should I open the door now" Yuzu asked me again. I don't know what to say, my head is spinning right now, should I let Yuzu open the door, or I will do it and face the staffs, am I ready for the news, is it good or bad, is Toushirou going to be alright..arggg, I'm so confused, worried, I don't know what to do.

Yuzu noticed my discomfort because she hugged me.

"Karin, everything will be alright, let's hope for the better, okay" Yuzu said and released me, I just looked at her, still I don't know what to do.

"Should I?" Yuzu asked again, she's pertaining on opening the door.

I just nodded and tried to prepare my self for the news. The feeling is killing me I really hope Toushirou is alright.

As I look at Yuzu opening the door, my heart began to pound like there's no tomorrow and my hand are getting sweaty, I never felt this nervous and worried before, I think I am hyperventilating.

(opening of door)

I closed my eyes, hoping to make me feel better.

Okay ready…

"Ah, Good afternoon ma'am would you like to subscribe on our cable T.V, we offer good quality reception in affordable price, also if you subscribe now we will give you 2 free admission tickets 'ride all you can' to the newly built "Happy Me" amusement park" the salesman said, trying his very best to make a sale. He's wearing a yellow and blue combination uniform, and holding flyers and tickets at one hand.

What the heck, my worries are for just a fucking cable TV ad I think my face is red now, not because of nervousness that I felt before but now from anger slowly rising.

I was going to say something, but Yuzu beat me on it.

"Sorry Sir, but we are already subscribed to a cable T.V., ah may be the next time" Yuzu said.

"Oh, I see, but the offer about the ticket only last until this weekend", The man said, and that did it, my patience snap.

"We said we don't want to, now leave!" I said and slam the door hard.

"Karin" Yuzu called worriedly and is trying to say comforting words.

"No, Yuzu, I'm okay" I said, trying to stop her on what she was going to say

.

After good five minutes or ten standing at the doorway, the doorbell rang again. Yuzu was trying to get the door but I beat her to it. I felt angry again thinking that the said person ringing our doorbell is the same salesman earlier.

"We said we don't want your cable T-"I said but I was not able to finish since I was too shocked to see who I am actually talking to.

"Oh, my gosh" I heard Yuzu said behind, but still I am in shock, my eyes are glued to man in front of me.

Yes, it is not the salesman in yellow and blue uniform, but a man wearing casual navy blue polo shirt with white design or logo on the upper left chest part, he's also wearing black pants and dark blue rubber shoes, he's carrying a duffel bag, and there is another bag, beside his feet On his head he's wearing a cap, that is desperately trying to cover his white spiky gravity-defying hair, his teal eyes staring directly at me, confusion clearly written on his face. Yes, the man in front of me is the man that I am actually worried about earlier, the man that I actually love.

"Karin?" he said eyebrow 's him, it's his voice, he's voice that I missed so much, even if I always hear on phone every night, and that reaction he's showing, that reaction he only uses if he's really confused, he rarely uses it to others, but to me always, hmm…now that I think about it am I really confusing, hey but never mind that the most important is that it's him, it is really him.

"Toushirou!!" I don't know what came to me, I just jumped on him and hugged him tight, saying his name one more time, feeling him and smelling his scent and doing something I never thought I would do in this kind of situation…I actually….

.

Toushirou's POV

Finally, back in Tokyo, I can't wait to see Karin I really missed her, even if we talk every night during my stay at Sapporo, I still want to see her personally, feel her. Hey that doesn't sound right, I sound like an obsessed perverted boyfriend. Hmmm boyfriend, I wonder when will I be her boyfriend, I wish it would be sooner, but I know I can wait.

(sound of helicopters passing by)

"Helicopters, for what? That is a rarely sight" I said while looking at the taxi window.

"There was actually an accident on the sea earlier those must be some of the aerial rescue teams" The taxi driver said, overhearing my statement earlier.

"Oh, I see, I wish, they are alright" I said.

After my good 30 minute taxi ride, from the pier I arrive at Karin's apartment complex. I was supposed to call her when I arrive at Tokyo but I wanted to surprise her that I arrived earlier than expected.

From the time I was waiting for the elevator up to walking to Karin's apartment I was thinking about the things I will tell to Karin, I still have my bags with me, since I promised to visit her after I arrive at Tokyo. Hmmm, first I will explain to her why I arrive earlier that expected, then...hmmm (sigh) what topic comes then that's the topic, anyways we always jump from certain subject to another.

"We said we don't want to, now leave!" I heard Karin shouted and slam the door shut.

Is she in bad mood, Oh no I was actually surprised on her outburst but anyways, it's Karin we're talking about. The man that she shouted was actually shocked and looked liked scared; after good 10 seconds he had his senses back and left the door. Now what should I do, I should have bought flowers before I came here. Anyways I think I will let her cool for five to ten minutes before I ring the doorbell.

Two minutes have passed, four, six..argg can't wait anymore I want to see her. After seven minutes I rang the doorbell and waited for any of the twins to open the door, but I wish it to be Karin.

"We said we don't want your cable T-"Karin said as she opens the door, but she never finished it because she's staring at me like I grew another head. Of course I stare at her too, though confusion is clearly written on my face. I do wonder what is going on

"Oh my Gosh" I heard Yuzu said behind Karin, she actually had her hands on her lips, showing she's really surprised to see me.

Now what really is going on, last time I check I still have one head, two hands and feet, the only new thing in me is that I'm wearing a freaking cap, is that cap suppose to make such a surprising reactions from them, is it good or bad, but Greeves actually said it suits me. I think I need to ask now what is going on.

"Karin?" I said trying to wake her from her reverie, and ask what's going on.

"Toushirou!!" She said then she jumped on me, I almost out of balanced but luckily I did not. She just hugged me tight like as if I'm going to go to a far place. I heard her say my name again and became quiet.

.

Okay, what's going on, that reaction, I know she misses me too but I think this is too much, something must have happened. Then I felt something warm on my lips. No freaking way, is she? Karin is kissing me full on lips, of course I was shocked wide-eyed in fact but anyways I kissed back, her lips are so soft, I thought it is just going to be an innocent kiss, but it turned out to be a passionate kiss. Is this her way of welcoming me home or her saying be my boyfriend?, it's weird but I like it. Arggh Don't get too perverted Toushirou you still have to know what's going on. Hey did I just call myself pervert.

.

Normal POV

'Okay, good to see that Toushirou is alright, but are these two into an all-out make-out session in the doorway….Oh looks like they are finished.' Yuzu thought while watching the two.

"Here I thought you will go to really do an all-out make –out session in the doorway" Yuzu said to the two. While hearing Yuzu's comment Toshirou and Karin both breathe heavily with red face, rivalling a tomato.

"hehe, sorry 'bout that" Karin said sheepishly, still in Toushirou's arms.

"Ahmm, what's going on?" Toushirou said trying to open a new subject.

"What do you mean?" Yuzu asked

"I mean is that, when you saw me, you looked like you have seen a ghost or something" Toushirou explained.

"(chuckle) Come in and we'll explain to you" Karin said

After they have settled there selves on the living room, Karin began to explain things, about the accident concerning the cruise up to the salesman earlier.

"(chuckle) Oh so you actually thought I was the salesman" Toushirou said

"Yes, I was angry because I was too worried about you" Karin said defensibly.

"Anyways, Hitsugaya-kun, how did you, I mean you said to Karin you're going to ride that cruise but" Yuzu said.

"Oh, about that, you see I'm not a very patient person when it comes to waiting in public places, and I wanted to be back in Tokyo as soon as possible to see Karin (Karin blushed beside him), so I asked the management if I can be a you can say change passer, since the cruise still have plenty rooms, because of their change in schedule. They allowed me and I rode the 'Firiel' cruise and arrive at Tokyo early" Toushirou explained.

"But why didn't you tell me" Karin said pouting

"Oh, that's because I wanted to surprise you" Touhirou said, intertwining Karin's fingers with him.

"We really did get surprised" Yuzu said and the three of laughed at the day's events.

"Now, I think I'm going to buy some groceries and leave the two of you" Yuzu said standing up.

"Ehh" Karin said

"(chuckle)Anyways, Karin you have something to say to Hitsugaya-kun right?" Yuzu said teasing Karin a bit.

"Yuzu!!" Karin exclaimed and blushed hard.

"Eh, What is it?" Toushirou said trying to hide his smirk

"Bye bye you two" Yuzu said and left the two couple.

"Ahmm, Toushirou" Karin started

"Hmm?"

"Ahmm, you see, Toushirou!" Karin tried to start but Toushirou stopped her by hugging her.

"I love you, Karin, I already know what you are going to say" Toushirou said still hugging her, remembering the worries and kiss she gave him.

"I love you Toushirou, (giggle)" Karin said giggling at the fact that he can easily read her.

" Now that means we are boyfriend and girlfriend now"

"Yes, we are"

Both stared at each others eyes and kissed once again….
