A/N: I'm very sorry for abandoning this story man. And I'm especially sorry for having ya'll wait so long, well here it is!

"Just look at yourself," Karin spat, already claiming her victory as she towered over the cowering girl. Rurichiyo tried her best to keep a straight face, but she found that the pressure of the exited students around her wasn't helping. The chorused cheers of 'FIGHT!' were getting louder as well as the fear was increasing as she waited for the punch that was about to get planted onto her face. Karin scoffed, she found that the blonde somehow redeemed herself by submitting to the Kurosaki's strength. She knew she didn't stand a chance, and keeping the little pride and dignity she had left, she just gave up. She decided that it would be way better, instead of making a fool out of herself and trying to even land as much as a slap. The blonde just balled her fists at her side, adverted her gaze and waited for the punch.

"Do it,"

"You're not worth my time," Karin huffed, plowing her way though the slowly silencing crowd. Lillinette and Ririn quickly followed the mad girl. Both wondering where she she was going, and why. But the answer wasn't coming, they both knew that. As soon as they left school property, the pony-tailed girl started running. Her hair swaying from left to right and cheeks flushing from exertion and the cold. Pictures flashed trough her mind of the events from the past week,the one that kept coming back the most was the kiss she shared with her classmate.

"Why are you so kind to me?"

"Ile!" she cried, this was all so confusing. Why is he confusing me, I am not supposed to feel this way. She felt a gaping hole in her heart when she tried to exclude him from her life. He had only been there for a week and still though her so much about herself. He awakened feeling she never even knew she had. she always viewed herself as a brave young woman, strong and loud. Just the type that loves life. And then this lad shows up, the exact opposite. She bottled up all the feelings she though she never needed. And like a cliché, it all burst out when Kasumoiji angered her.

She already had a battle with her mind, let alone someone else coming in and trying to ruin her.

Lillinette frowned as she watched her friend gritting her teeth and balling her fist. The lime-haired student was sure that the teeth of her friend were starting to flake, and she probably already drew blood from the nails digging in her palms. Karin breathed heavily as she came closer to the park, the scene still running trough her mind. Still running and raging, she didn't noticed the sky clouding and the chilling wind surrounding her. Ririn, on the other hand, did and stopped dead in her tracks.

She shook her head at Lillinette, signalling her that it was time to stop. Continuing to run after their friend wasn't going to add up to their desire to know just what the hell was going on. And Karin was probably going to keep running until the two of them became exhausted and would give up all together. But still, "Where are you going?" Ririn called out, she was tired from running and the cold was getting to her. Karin didn't turn around nor did she answer. She ran to the only place she knew someone would be waiting for her.

"Bitch, it's Friday and I've got other things to do." a brunette woman laughed. Her oddly colored nails clamped tightly around the mobile phone she held to her ear. In her other hand she held the smaller hand of a child, whom awkwardly tried to hide his face in his jacket. His mother's loud talking was annoying the people around her. Especially the boy sitting right next to her, the vain on his forehead was already popping out. His sensitive ears picked up all the exclamations of her senseless talking.

"Kuso. . ." he cursed under his breath. It was getting colder every minute, every time he breathed out he saw the vapor of his breath. He groaned, the waiting time for the bus from Minazuki station to Mashiba station was about twenty minutes. Considering it was regional transport, the waiting time was good enough. He sighed again, watching his warm breath evaporate in the chilling wind. He shuddered as he zipped up his jacket and pulled down his scarf.

"Don't worry Hitsugaya-san," Yuzu consoled as she looked at the sky, which looked like it was about to rain or hail again. She looked at the boys, flashing him her brightest smile. her smile grimaced as the shuddered at the cold wind lying above them as a blanket. In the short silent that fell between them, the annoying, laud laughter of the woman before could be heard. Orihime grinned as she saw Hitsugaya's eyes twitch and his face twisting as if he ate a lemon.

Beside the annoying voice behind him uttering stupid shit, he just made out that Karin showing up would be bad.

Yuzu flipped her hair back. "If I know my sister she's on her way right now." she reassured the boy whom was growing a bit impatient. "She'll be here before the bus leaves, I'm su-" her line being interrupted abruptly by her sister screaming, gasping and panting as she tried to catch her breath. Karin rested her hands on her crouching knees. Her hair messily hung over her shoulders, framing her flushed face. She shuddered as she finally realized the cold. She looked at the ground as she stood straight.

Yuzu rushed to help her sister and offered her an extra scarf. Karin gladly took the present and wrapped it around her neck as Yuzu readjusted her pony-tail.

"I'm so sorry! I left my bag and my jacket at school. I wanted to be here as soon as possible." Orihime just opened her mouth to reply as she noticed everyone standing up and getting ready for the arriving bus.

Just then, Karin noticed whom was looking at her.

"To-Toshirou-san?"

I hate Orihime, so her part in this story will be as small as possible.
