Chapter two.
As he helped her up he was realizing how amazing she was. He had basically just told her a magical story about warriors and monsters, and how her brother was one of the strongest souls, to have so far existed. She had heard all of this with only a few nods, seemingly more interested in what her twin had packed her for lunch that day. No questions... yet.
as they walked back to their classroom, Hyorinmaru Sounded in his mind,
"When shall she be told of her brother affiliation with hollows, or mainly, the Visored? You must realize she will get angry with you if she finds out from someone other than you. Don't forget boy." the Ice Spirit receded back into his conscious, and he sat down at his seat at the back of their class. Several of the other students approached him, and giving Karin their snotty looks, turned to Toshiro.
"Come sit by us Toshiro" one of the girls "Someone like you should't be affiliated with someone like this "girl" Several snickers arose from the small group. the group kept looking at Karin like she was trash, and he felt sick of it.
"And what makes you better than her?" he spoke softly emmiting his reatsu chilling the students. He raised his eyebrow and chilling the room with each word, "I think Im sitting right where i should be. Girls." he spoke the last word glaring at a particular boy who had leaned to his friend and had said a particularly disgusting comment about Karin's looks, not bothering to be quiet at all. Toshiro looked like he was about to enter a scowling contest with Vegeta*, while the group before them was preparing for dooming the boy to being freindless.
and just before the room froze over the teacher entered and sensing the tension, immediately told everyone to get to their seats for a movie, that Nobody would talk during.

Karin looked at Toshiro during the film. he looked calm as ever with furrowed brows while he watched the film on some historic battle. He had stood up for her something that nobody does, (seeing as she had told her twin to not so she could have friends in their terrible high school.). He stood up for her even though she had only known him for a few days. She knew he was different, not different in the shinigami sense, but morally. He was one of the rare people who would never harm someone unless they absolutely had to.
After the film they continued with their normal schedule and she noticed the glances by some of the male students back at her, laughingly, and at Toshiro like they were measuring him up, which she knew was not below them. She hoped they would just start ignoring him or just make fun of him behind his back like they did to her. Suddenly the class started getting up and she realized it was already the end of the day. She got up and started packing her supplies
She and Toshiro left the classroom and began to walk out of the school, he had been quieter than usual and he seemed to be focused on something.
"So Toshiro why would you start going to the high school?" She looked at him and he Glanced at her then turned his gaze ahead,
"Later. that group of people May be following us at the moment. I don't know if this is their normal route to leave the premises but the way they've been acting today i would bet against it." they exited the building and began walking across the grounds of the school towards the street they met on. the group had been steadily gaining on them once they had left the building, and as soon as She and the Captain were off the school grounds they quickly rushed up to them. running around in front of them the male group sauntered up to Toshiro.
"You think its funny to call me a girl you little bitch?" the kid was Kahn, he stood a bit over half a foot taller than Toshiro, and she knew him to be a great fighter - a black belt for several years, she saw him tense up his legs and shoulders ready to launch a punch.
"i think it disgraceful that a man would spend his days insulting a woman." he spoke coldly. She looked at him and he was completely relaxed, but looking at him only reminded her of an uncocked pistol. At the moment harmless and relaxed, but with a slight movement can become something quite able to kill.
When he was almost done with his sentence Kahn shifted slightly and his fist sprang into action, almost slowly it seemed to Karin. The youngest Captain level Shinigami squatted down slightly, dodging the blow and planted a fist into Kahn's stomach doubling him over, arm still outstretched. As he began to bend over from the impact of the blow Toshiro quickly jabbed him once on the sternum with his other arm's palm, then with what seemed like no effort and then almost quicker than she could see brought his right crashing into Kahn's cheekbone, possibly cracking it and instantaneously sending the bigger fighter into a happy realm where he didn't just get his ass whooped by the new kid in school.
Kahn flopped onto the ground, and the three other boys surrounded Toshiro, and suddenly two sprang forward one going low to punch him in the back of the knee while the other shifted and tried to kick him in the face. with a deft move he jumped over the punch, moved his hand up pushing the kickers leg up and above his head off balancing him, while the puncher's fist continued through space, landing he snapped his legs together trapping the punchers arm and with a backhand to the temple knocked him out cold. releasing the arm he looked over to the two remaining fighters, the kicker and the one who hadn't moved yet, who hesitantly backed off, realizing this kid was much better than him. The kicker looked at Him then at his backing off teammate, and lifted his hands up signaling defeat.
Toshiro Gave one of his customary snorts, then moved past them and returned to walking down the street like normal. Karin, openmouthed, looked at the two unconscious kids, then hurried after her friend.
"where in the world did you learn that? she exclaimed when they had turned the corner from the defeated group. He snorted, again.
"You think the Captain of the thirteen Gotei Squads couldn't handle some untrained kids?"
She looked at him with wide eyes, those words seemed like something her brother had said once.
"now i believe you may have questions?" they had reached the soccer field and glancing at the small crater in the ground she shoved the fight away and remembered
the Shinigami business..
"Yeah, so you said you don't know where my brother is now but do you know when he will be home?"
"He should be home when he finishes his training. Honestly though, He was last known to be here in Kakura before vanishing completely, I believe he may still be in the city, or very near to it." She looked to him, he seemed to be telling the truth. But something told me he wasn't telling her something,
"So why Are you In Kakura? Aren't you some big shot captain? why would you get sent here? And why would you attend Kakura high?" He sighed, and they began walking by the river that ran through the side of Kakura.
"I was originally here on a working Vacation. We believe that Aizen is interested in Kakura due to the large amount of spiritually aware people here, and I wanted to see where i may be fighting before it actually happened. So i took some vacation and came here. Just this morning was when i received a message from Sereitei that they wanted a Captain level Shinigami here in case of an attack, and since I was here I was chosen."
He gestured towards a small food shop ahead, and when she nodded, changed their course to the shop. They went in and went to the counter, He ordered them both some drinks and paid for them with a white card. The cashier handed him the receipt and drinks with a wink, she was glad the girl had found a friend and a boy at that!She accepted the drink with a thank you and took a sip. Sprite. They left the store and he started off to one of the many hilly parks in Kakura. Karin followed knowing he wouldn't talk freely with people around, so she waited. once they were in the park he turned to her and spoke, "Go"
"you didn't answer why your going to the school Toshiro." A vein appeared on his temple,
"You will call me by Captain Hitsugaya." A command. or maybe a fact. With a smile, she decided to never call him captain, or Hitsugaya.
"So Toshiro why are you going to school?" she said with a slight joking focus on 'shiro' he snort-sighed?
"I am attending the school because i understand that many of Kurosaki's friends are not only spiritually aware but have good amounts of reatsu for humans, and would be prime targets for hollows, or arrancar."
She sipped her drink and thought, 'he's a workaholi-' when suddenly the side of her face was being mashed into a large pillow, and a high pitch voice squealed out.
"Ohh Captain! You look so cute in that uniform! and with this girl, your adorable!"
she managed to push herself away and as soon as she got away, she saw the auburn haired woman fixate her newly freed arm with her other one - that was firmly holding her white haired friend's face between her large breasts. She heard his muffled yelling and with a hand on her stomach and one on her shoulder began trying to pry himself free.
"Hello!" the woman was talking to her, with a warm smile. "My name is Rangiku Matsumoto, its nice to meet you! Little Shiro here has too little friends, and its nice to see him making new ones!" This woman was so nice, and she spoke about Toshiro like not only if he wasn't here, but like he was an eleven year old child. Said boy managed to slip out of her grasp, Gasping. Karin held out her hand to her,
"im Karin Kurosaki its nice to meet you. you must be one of Toshiro's fellow captains right?" they shook hands, and with a chuckle and smile Rangiku said,
"oh no no! im his lieutenant!" Karin was slightly openmouthed, this woman who talked to him like a mother to a nefew actually took orders from him?
"Matsumoto! what are you doing in your Gigai! you should be patrolling!" he yelled at her. She ignored him and continued.
"Oh so you must be one of Ichigo's sisters! no wonder he's taken a liking to you!" she said flopping her hands about like some of the silly girls in Karin's class.
"Hey!"
"Taken a liking to?" she asked, she couldn't mean...
"Hey!"
"Yeah, I've heard parts of your conversation, and he's talked more to you than I've
heard him talk to anyone except when lecturing me! plus he bought you that drink with his personal money not the money Sereitei gives to Shinigami when their stationed in the real world!" she nudged her while saying the last part. Karin was confused about it., but she could-
"HEY!"
They turned to the now slightly reddening Captain, "Matsumoto, Why are you not out Patrolling?" Karin realized he had spoken the last part completely calm, he had regained his icy composure almost instantly after he had yelled. 'this is a strange boy she thought.
"Oh Captain i Received a hell butterfly and i have orders to return to Soul Society because they need someone to be in charge of Squad Ten! I was just doing some last minute shopping before returning and i saw you at the cafe, and forgot I didn't tell you im leaving!" He had a strange look on his face, it looked to be a mixture of relief, and pure horror. She had no idea the Sereitei's biggest Liquor drinker was essentially in charge of hundreds of people, including salaries and division funds. But she did slightly understand how he could've been relieved, this was supposed to have been a vacation but he had ended up having his vacation cut short as well as being stationed in Kakura, and now he didn't have to have His lieutenant breathing down his neck or mashing his face and personal life onto her breast.
"So your heading back? when?" he asked, his face had regained its composure of mainly masked emotions.
"yes I'm going to go return the Gigai to Urahara then im returning." Toshiro shifted a bit,
"you better be off, i know Ikkaku wants to fight the fourth seat and thats-
"OH yes i don't want to miss that!" she yelled then yelping a bye, she flash-stepped away. Karin was confused on what or who an Ikkaku was, but she just ignored it. The two continued their walk.
"So." Karin spoke first breaking the silence, "Little Shiro huh?" He froze, she flashed him one of her rare smiles, and when she saw his dead serious face, she realized maybe thats something she shouldn't have said. Suddenly his body-Gigai they called it, flew back from his emerging soul, and crashed to the ground behind them. She knew she crossed a major line.
"Look Toshiro im so-" he slapped his hand over her mouth cutting her off and slightly stinging her cheeks, when he spoke It was with an aura so powerful, she fully realized that this boy, was truly an extremely powerful being. She Knew why this Boy was a captain and why He was in charge of so much. His voice was powerful, serious, one that never commanded things. It stated facts. And facts happened.
"Turn and run Karin Kurosaki." She could hear the air chilling around them.
"Turn and run NOW!" She turned and began to run down the path, She could feel the green grass beneath her feet freeze and break. She looked back at the Ice Guardian and saw- no felt what he was afraid of, a few hundred yards a black tear in the air sealed up. and two white clothed figured stood in front of it. She could feel her Soul Scream at the existence of these two, and she realized what they must be.
Arrancar.

Thanks for the Favorites and the review TWI-hard kristine101
The chapters will probably get longer each time, but these last two spots i deemed amazing stopping points.
And lastly id like to know if you guys would like to see it as it is, a combo of Karin and Toshiro's views of everything. or if it should end up mainly focusing on one or the other, and lastly, if our favorite couple should become love-struck and realize how much they already like each other within a chapter or two or if it should build on friendship then they realize their feelings.
Please reveiw!
aaand bye folks!
