Hotaru once again helped me and fixed all my terrible mistakes so thanks Hotaru.

bleach is not my i do not own other wise karin and toshiro would be together yay!

Karin turned around with her brother's trade mark scowl in place, looking around the room. Her eyes stopped at Toshiro and her frown became a smile as
she ran over to him and hugged him quickly. "Hey, Toshiro."

"Hey Karin," he couldn't help but smile back at her with warmth in his eyes. The other captains look on in surprise, they've never seen Toshiro so open and
friendly with someone.

"So you want to question me huh? Why didn't you just do it the other day on the soccer field when I told you Ichigo was my brother?" She smirked at him.
"Is that why your here be-"

"What happened to your forehead?" He cut her off as he lightly touched her bruise, making her wince in pain.

"It's nothing, just a fight between me and Captain Soi-Fon," she told him dismissively.

The head Captain glared at the other captain, hissing about how he'd talk to her later about this, but no one noticed because their attention was on
Toshiro as his eyes softened and he put his hands up, a green glow coming from them, making her bruise disappear and relieving the headache quickly. "There," he whispered, moving away a piece of hair from her pretty grey eyes.

She blushed, making him blush as well realizing what he had done, making him step back into line. Much to the amusement of everyone else, even Ichigo as he could clearly see they like each other, though he didn't know how they'd met. Surprisingly, it didn't bug him as much as he'd thought his baby sister's first crush would. Maybe it was because a part of him knew it wasn't a crush, or that he knew Toshiro was one of the best choices out there for her.

She smiled once more at Toshiro, then let her gaze scan the room again. This time her eyes landed on Juushiro who smiled at her warmly, but she just
frowned again and moved her gaze back to the Head Captain who was looking at her with indifference. He probably thought she would cower from someone as powerful as him, but she wasn't at all scared. "Well, what do you want? And would you please quit staring at me? Jeez!"

They looked away expect for a clown faced man and a lady with a warm smile and a long braid that draped down in front of her, both of whom moved to stand in from of her. The lady stood in front of her and looked in her eyes.

"How old are you, dear?" She asked sweetly. Karin frowned and looked away, this lady's nice warm smile reminded her of her mother, and her voice didn't help. It filled her with shame. 'Ichigo would hate me comparing anyone with mom, he loved her so much and still does, and he would be upset. He wouldn't want to talk about it either, it would hurt him too much to even say anything about mommy,' little tears welled in her eyes which she quickly blinked away. Someone scoffed, probably at her tears.

"I am sorry, I did not mean to upset you," She heard the lady say softly in regret. "You didn't, it's okay. I am eleven years old," she sniffled a little, hating the fact that she feels so weak.

She felt her brother put his arm on her shoulder, in comfort. Everyone looked at Ichigo when he walked over to his sister, wondering how this short tempered teenage would offer his comfort to his sister. "She reminds me of her too," He admits then smiles a real smile in front of everyone for the first time. But Rukia and Byakuya have seen it, though only aimed at his sisters before.

"Really?" He nods. "She has that motherly presence about her."The Captain looks between them in confusion about their conversation. "Their talking about their mother. She is no longer with them. She died protecting Ichigo against Grand Fisher," Rukia says.

Juushiro's eyes widened as he remembered the code name. "It happened when Ichigo was just nine," Rukia finished explaining.

Karin turned to her brother. "Is that true, Ichigo, did one of those monsters kill her?" She asked in anger at the beast who took her mother away from her
and her family, and changed them all. Ichigo looked at her and spoke in a soft but firm voice. "Yes," he said, that one word change forever what Karin had believed happened to her mother.

"I am honored you feel that way. Kurosaki and Young Kurosaki, that I have the same presence of your mother," Unohana said as she stood back in line, truly feeling flattered that someone like Ichigo, who did not show emotions very well would think of his mother when around her.

The sudden slam of the Head Captain's cane on the desk made the Captains and others jump, but Ichigo and Karin didn't even flinch, used their father's loud, jarring antics. "Now, young lady, we are here to see how you can see soul reapers," the Head Captains voice boomed in the room.

"Well, I've been able to see them for quite some time. Plus, what I am supposed to think when I see my brother in a black kimono and a sword on his back killing these weird monsters? I just came up with a reasonable explain."

The Head Captain nodded his head in acceptance. "Have you always been able to see them?" She looks at him. "Yes, and before I could see plus spirits."

"Hmm very well young lady, I have one more question for you," he looked at her intently, "Do wish to learn how to fight hollows?"

"NO! I will not approve of this, she is my little sister!" ichigo shouted in protest, annoying Karin. "I already do, Ichigo," She told her brother, frustrated that he thought she was so fragile. "How?" Asked the head captain, curiously. "

"She puts her spirit pressure in her soccer ball and aims it at the head," Toshiro stepped out to explain to the Head Captain what he knew. "How do you know that, Captain Hitsyugya, and why have you not reported it sooner?"

"Well, you see, sir, I thought since she is Kurosaki's sister it was a good enough reason as to why she could see us," Toshiro explained. Toshiro was relieved on the inside, the truth was he didn't tell because he didn't want the risk of Karin in danger.

okay that was it I know it was short and I am sooooo sorry it was late. Please forgive me *sniffle, sniffle* I hope you enjoyed.
