Enjoy!
An Encounter With a Teacher
Previously: after an Encounter with the old man she saw when she came to the soul society, Karin figures out the secret to getting through the Rukongai districts, she had no problem until the 10th district where a group of men try and stop her from getting to the Sereitei and gives her serious injuries, on the verge of death a woman finds Karin in her own puddle of blood and dresses her wounds but when Karin wakes up noticing that she had miraculously healed from her injuries as the woman had no clue about her healing.
Normal P.O.V
"Well yes I am kinda hungry now that you mention it!" Karin laughs nervously.
"I knew you would be hungry when you woke up so I prepared some soup for you" she said pulling out a bowl of soup from her side.
...
Karin got done with her soup quickly.
"Thank you for your hospitality but I must get going" Karin said with the most polite voice she could muster up.
"Are you sure? A couple hours ago you had terrible injuries your body may be healed but it is still exhausted" she said with a worried look.
"In the first place I had been headed towards the Sereitei! There's no way I could trouble you with my being her!" Karin said while trying to stand up.
The woman chuckled "Are you sure that your body agrees?" Watching Karin fail at standing up.
Karin blushed 50 shades of red (See what I did there?).
"I assure you, you are not troubling me by being here, in fact it's an honor hosting someone with such high spiritual pressure, you see not many people can get past that barrier that separates the districts, especially Hanging Dog citizens!" She said brightly.
"Wait, so you knew I was from the Hanging Dog?" Karin said.
"Of course!"
"B-But how?" Karin asked in confusion.
"Your clothes of course! In each district there is a set clothing that the soul arrives In when they arrive at the soul society, and it obvious that your new here cause you haven't had change of clothes yet, and it just so happened that your clothing is from the 78th district also on the inside of your kimono has a marking with the number of your district too!" She said cheerfully.
Karin scrambled to see the inside of her Kimono and sure enough she found the number 78 and a picture under it, it was a rope tied in a noose hanging a dog that's thrice it's size, Karin wondered how the district got its name, it was such a weird name.
"You found it right? Well now that your up you should try to shower, and I'll give you a change of clothes too!" She said.
Karin blushed suddenly realized how dirty she was, she looked like a street rat who had just been ran over by a car and fell in the toilet.
"U-um ok thank you v-very much!" Karin said, suddenly feeling a lot more nervous.
"No need to be all nervous around me, just consider me family" she said.
"Ok-kay, I'll be going now, can you tell me where the shower is?" Karin asked politely.
"Back hall on the left! Sixth room!" She said.
"Thanks!" Karin said leaving the room, but just before she she left, she asked something.
"I didn't catch your name before, what is your name, I'm Karin, Karin Kurosaki" Karin said feeling safe enough to tell the woman her real name.
"Kurosaki? As in Ichigo Kurosaki?!" The woman shouted in shock.
"Uuuhhh, y-y-yeah I'm his sister...d-do you know him?" Karin stuttered hoping she won't hurt her.
"Of course I do! He is a legend around here! And all over the soul society too! He fought Aizen, he was the star of the winter war, everyone loves him and admires him too, he even infiltrated the Sereitei, going against all the odds and captains and vice captains to save the love of his life..." She said with a dreamy voice.
Karin choked on her own spit while laughing "R-Rukia? T-The love of his life, aha hahahah" Karin kept laughing.
She completely ignored Karin and was still counting on her fingers how many achievements he had gotten.
"So what is your name?" Karin asked interrupting her unique babbling.
"I am Yoroko Shihoin"
This time it was Karins turn to be surprised.
"Shihoin?! Your related to Yoroichi?" Karin asked.
"She is my sister, do you know her?" Yoroko said.
"Of course I do! She helped Ichi-nii train for bankai!" Karin exclaimed in shock.
"Good to know she is alive.. I guess" she seemed kinda sad so Karin didn't want to pry any further, after all it may be Personal.
"I'm going to go shower, ok?" Karin said feeling more comfortable than before.
...
Karin was showering feeling the hot beads of water trickling down her body, as a hundred thoughts poured through her mind, how she has to protect her sister and how she keeps...
...
Karin was done showering and found a note that was slipped under the door 'Your clothes are outside of the door'.
...
Karin got her clothes on which consisted of shorts that stop mid thigh and a short sleeved dark purple shirt with words saying, don't mess with me!
Karin really like the clothes.
...
Karin returned to the room where she woke up and found that Yoroko was not there, thinking that Yoroko had to have some privacy she decided to wait for her.
Karin wanted to train before entering the Shinigami Academy and tried to remember what Kisuke had said about getting a sword it's name was umm err Zanpato? Zatanpo? Se couldn't remember the name of it but brushed off that small problem and decided to work on remembering what Kisuke said, he said to Ichigo that to talk to his sword he had to umm what Kisuke said she couldn't remember, but a memory crossed her mind, when she heard a voice saying "Meditate and shall find what you seek" and just then Karin remembers what Kisuke said "if you meditate you should be able to talk to your Sword!"
"Yes I got it! All I have to do is meditate right?" She shouted in excitement.
...
Karin started to meditate, She found it kind of hard to meditate but did it nonetheless, soon Karin felt herself spinning as if being thrown into another dimension, she opens her eyes and finds herself in a completely different place than before.
She was in front of a mansion, the mansion was a mix of colors and the obvious ones she could make out was four colors: icy blue, Red, Green, and Violet. The mansion had to be crafted by a master it was just so beautiful to be a normal piece of art.
In front of the mansion there were trees, the had no leaves, they looked frozen but the weirdest thing happened after her eyes were set on the trees, they set fire to a brilliant shade of Blue fire yet the ice didnt melt it was just sitting there unaffected and so were the trees.
It was a beautiful sight.
It was dazzling.
Karin had a strange urge to go touch that fire, reaching her hand out she put her hand in the fire, surprisingly it was neither hot nor cold, it was both at the same time it was so indescribable, she couldn't comprehend such a phenomena.
Suddenly she heard giggling and a feminine voice.
She looks over to the source and sees a woman a little girl and teen guy.
"You are confused I can guess that" She said.
"Who are you guys?" Karin said.
"We are your Zanpakto" The womanly female said.
"W-wait you are my Zanpakto?" Karin asked cautiously.
"Yes that's right!" The other said while giggling.
"Where are we? I don't know how I got here either!" Karin asked a little to quickly.
...
Yoroko walked into the room that Karin was meditating in and saw Karin meditating and instantly said "Already speaking to her Zanpakto, she really is talented Yoroichi..."
...
"We are in your inner world, the place that we Zanpakto rest" The guy said.
"B-b-b-but h-how did I-I-I get here?"Karin stuttered
"When you meditated of course! You wanted to talk to us right? So here we are haha..." The little girl giggled.
"What are your names?" Karin asked out of curiosity.
"Our name are..."
"Sorry I couldn't hear you" Karin said.
"I will say it again, our names are..."
"I still can't hear you"
"She isn't ready, ... Yet" The male said.
"Until next time Karin-chan" The little girl smiled sadly
And then Karin's vision turned black.
...
Karin woke up with Yoroko staring over her.
"Um Hi Yoroko-San!" Karin said.
"No need to be so formal, just call me Yoroko!" Yoroko said, sounding more and more like Yoroichi, in Karins opinion that is.
"Right Yoroko!"
"I have to go get groceries, stay here kay?" She said
"No, no, I'll get the groceries, ok? It's the least I could do since you let me stay here!" Karin said quickly.
"If your sure about that, here!" Yoroko said while handing her a list of things to get.
"Ok I'll be seeing you!" Karin said while running out of the house, but ran back in realizing that she had no money.
"Um how much will all these cost? And can you give me some money to pay for it?" Karin said casually.
"It should cost about three hundred Ronas! Here take four hundred just in case..."
She said.
"Ok see ya!" Karin once again ran out of the house.
...
"Let's see um I think I've got everything, yeah time to head back!"
She grabbed the groceries and started to walk back to Yorokos place.
She saw a shortcut back to her place and follows it.
A man appears in front of her and said "Ow wow we have a looker here! How bout we have some fun ehh?"
"No way in hell!" Karin was innocent but she knows exactly how he wants to have fun due to a painful session with her father, He told Karin but not Yuzu, Karin always wondered why though.
"I didn't want to have to kill you but I have no choice huh? I'll be reported if I don't!"
He grinned nastily.
The man pulled out a Zanpakto, where he got it is beyond Karin anyway.
He swung his sword with as much force and speed as he could muster up, and proceeded to cut Karins left shoulder, only hanging on by a bit of skin.
"Argggggghhhghh! I-I-it hurts" Karin screamed
Karin's nerves filled with excruciating pain as her arm is severed from her body apart from hanging on by a bit of skin.
"Aaaaaasrgghhghhhghy, it really hurts" Karin continued to scream.
Until a bright light was seen and Karin was no longer feeling any pain.
She looked towards her arm only to see that her shirt was torn but that was it, her arm had been reattached.
"W-w-w-wai-it w-what happened?" Karin was freaking out as the man saw what happened and said "m-monster! That's what you are!" He scrambled to run away.
"What on earth happened" Karin thought to herself, as a million thoughts pour through her mind.
...
Karin walked through the door of Yorokos house only now realizing how big the place was and that she had no idea where to go now, but was saved by Yoroko herself entering the hall.
"W-what happened to you Karin?" She said shocked and worried at the same time.
"Well you see..."
...
Karin watched as Yorokos face turned into anger, fear, and finally happiness.
"B-but h-how did you heal that fast? This is really confusing but all in all I'm glad that you healed in the first place, or else you would have died" Yoroko said while hugging Karin.
Karin was wide eyed never being hugged in such a soft matter slowly hugged back
Karin broke the hug first and said "Sorry for worrying you!" Karin said.
And silence became.
"Why did you come all the way to the tenth district?" She asked Karin
"I wanted to become a Shinigami like my brother, s-so I can see my family again, even if they can't see me, and so a soul doesn't get k-killed by a hollow, l-like me" Karin replied.
"And you think you can go to the Academy without any training? They have an entrance exam you know..." She said.
"I do know that but... I don't know anyone who could train me..." Karin said sadly.
"Your looking at someone who could train you" She said.
"W-wait you don't mean t-that" Karin stuttered
"Yup I mean exactly that!" She said brightly.
"But do you know how to fight?" Karin asked.
"Did you ever wonder how Yoroichi got so good at her skills? The Shihoin clan trains the daughters of the headmaster to protect themselves and I'm offering to teach you, the secret art our clan holds, will you accept?" She offered.
"Of course I will Yoroko! Thank you so much!"
"No problem, oh yeah training starts tommorow..." She grinned kinda evilly but Karin brushed it off.
...
Did you like? I hope you do!
Sayonara,
Rin-chan
