Hey guys! I'm sorry I didn't upload this earlier, real life keeps getting in the way. Although, I've managed to attend three full weeks of education, which is the first time in two years! College is so much better than school. This is only a short chapter, but I like it, hope you enjoy it!
SUMMARY: Karin reflects on the time she had spent with Toshiro and ends up making a wish. A certain someone overhears her.
Chapter 6: Wish
Karin bit back a sigh as she watched Tōshirō leave again. It sucked. She hated watching him leave. She had a lot of friends at school, and she spent time with a fair few of them outside of school, she got on with them really well, but nobody seemed to understand her like Tōshirō did. Tōshirō knew all about hollows and shinigami, with him being one. He was the one person she could talk to about almost anything, and he was the one person who seemed to actually understand what she was saying, what her problems were and why they were problems, unlike other people who told her she was just overreacting.
And as they were basically from two different worlds, the conversation always stayed interesting. She loved talking to him, and as he was always more vocal with her or Rangiku than anyone else she saw him with, she assumed he liked talking with her too. She absent-mindedly wondered if Tōshirō was more confident and comfortable with women rather than men. It would make sense, given that he was brought up by his grandmother along with Momo. And then went on to have Rangiku as a Vice-Captain. He probably spent more of his time with women than men. Even though Tōshirō had started to get to know Karin's football team more, he pretty much stuck to talking to Karin rather than anyone else.
Hearing about his life was interesting, and she loved to hear him speak about it, especially after Rangiku had told her that he rarely opened up about his past, or himself for that matter. Every time she heard something new she felt like she knew him better, like the way that he acted or the way he was made more sense. Like he was explained a little more. She felt like she understood him better every time he talked about something.
She wished she could hear more about him, that she could talk to him more, that she could spend more time with him. She sighed heavily as she leant against her windowsill, looking up at the night sky. Out of the corner of her eyes she spotted a shooting star. Karin was never one for superstition, but...it wasn't like there was any harm in it, was there? Staring up at the shooting star, she spoke quietly. "I wish I could spend more time with Toshiro."
Little did she know that Rangiku was sitting on the roof, listening to her wish. Rangiku grinned. She was already planning a 'surprise vacation' to Karakura for a couple of weeks (if she managed to pull the right strings that is) for her dear little Captain.
I hope you liked it! I know it's short, but hopefully the next chapter should come soon, it's completely planned out, the prompt is 'Play'. The next chapter after that, chapter 8, 'Stars' is already half written (I had a sudden wave of feels one afternoon) and it looks like it'll be pretty long. The chapter after that 'Time' is also planned. So generally it shouldn't take too long for those chapters to be posted.
Anyway, thank you so much for all the of views, reviews, faves, alerts and so on, I really do appreciate them all! I even got some reviews in Spanish, which is a first :'D I hope you look forward to the next chapter, 'Play'!
