Hey guys, thank you so much for the reviews! I really appreciate it. I have retread some of the chapters, and I have noticed some of the spelling errors or missing words. Eventually I will go back and fix what I can find, but I will try to do a better job proof reading before I update this time. No promises though… :P this is a shorter chapter by the way
Disclaimer: I don't own bleach, or any of its character… But I'd adopt them in a heart beat.
Chapter 3: Return the Favour
"Wow Renji I thought you were a better fighter than this" Karin teased.
"Shut up" Yelled Renji.
"If I knew you were going to be this easy I would have asked Ichigo to train me. I mean he did beat you that one time." She provoked. Karin loved pushing people's buttons, and she needed to get Renji mad so that he would actually take their fight seriously. The look on Renji's face seemed to show that her plan was working.
"Listen here, you little brat, your brother is a supernatural anomaly. He has beaten almost everyone even my Captain." He growled, the anger was starting to rise up inside of him, and he wanted to strangle Ichigo's cocky little sister.
"Excuses, Excuses." Sang Karin with a dumb grin on her face because she just loved when Renji got mad. Renji had become like a brother to her since her visits to the real world were few and Ichigo had taken over the 5th Squad becoming extremely busy getting it back on track. Karin was accustomed to bickering with Renji, and their relationship continued to grow more and more into a family-like connection.
"Bankai" Bellowed Renji releasing his sword into its final stage.
"Wait! I was kidding!" Screamed Karin, but it was already too late Renji was going to teach her a lesson.
A couple weeks later, the Academy was having a seminar about a Zanpakuto's Shikai. Captains, Lieutenants or anyone who had achieved Shikai were demonstrating and even fighting with the students who had achieved their Shikai. Karin after her last fight with Renji had achieved her Shikai which was rather quickly for someone who had only spent 9 months total in the academy. It was due to the fact that she had high Reiatsu, and that Renji tried to kill her with his Bankai.
Karin was making her way towards the seated area where the Gotei 13 was showing off their Zanpakutos when she walked right into somebody's hard chest.
"Watch where you're going" complained an annoyed voice which she recognized and looked up to see a familiar pair of turquoise eyes. "Oh it's you, why am I not surprised." He finished with the normal frown plastered on his face. Karin took a step back from the man noticing the blue scarf he was wearing today.
"I like your scarf" She stated.
"Umm… Thanks…" He replied hesitantly unsure whether or not she was being sarcastic.
"It matches your eyes" She complimented. Hitsugaya was unsure what to say to her last statement because the last he expected the girl to do was comment on his wardrobe choices. He didn't have long to process the information.
"And your cold personality" She smirked finally turning into the sassy girl that Hitsugaya had expected right off the bat. "Frosty, Why are you wearing a white hao-"
"Girl, you need to watch your tongue when your talking to a Captain." Interrupted the 6th Squad Captain who Karin recognized as Renji's Captain. Even though he had interrupted her she had already figured out that 'Frosty' was a captain as soon as she had started to ask the dumb question about the Haori. "Apologize to Captain Hitsugaya" Captain Kuchiki commanded.
"I'm sorry for being disrespectful Captain Hitsugaya" Karin replied giving Hitsugaya a dirty look when the Captain of Squad 6 wasn't looking. Hitsugaya seemed emotionless, but Karin could tell that there was the slightest smirk growing on his face, and she could see the gloating nature in his eyes. She should have known he was a captain, but she realized that she never heard his name both times that they met. She couldn't believe she was caught talking to a Captain so disrespectfully especially by the master of etiquette: Byakuya Kuchiki. At that moment she despised Toshiro Hitsugaya, and she was going to make him pay for it later.
"Learn some manners girl, Captain Hitsugaya could have you removed from the academy." Captain Kuchiki warned while walked past Hitsugaya giving him a nod and continuing on his way.
The two of them were left standing in one of their now regular staring matches. Karin was pissed because Hitsugaya had never once mentioned he was a captain, and now she was slightly embarrassed that he had seen her partially nude. Would she let that break her spirit? Hell no.
"Why didn't you tell me you were a Captain?." She asked with anger pouring out of her voice.
"Last time I checked you never asked" He countered.
"Well you should have told me"
"Wouldn't have stopped you from making a fool out of yourself."
"I'll get you back for this." She threatened.
"You know… You really shouldn't threaten a Captain of the Gotei 13." Lectured Hitsugaya knowing full well how much he had embarrassed the girl. She acted tough like she didn't care about any rules, but it was obvious to him that she did hold some respect for higher ups.
"Are you finally going to follow through with a punishment for once?" Karin chirped "I heard that Captain Hitsugaya always follows through, and doesn't put up with nonsense. I think your squad should know that their Captain is going soft."
The temperature dropped about 10 degrees.
"Bye. Captain." She sneered walking away before Hitsugaya had time to yell at her. He was going have one of his seated officers throw her into a holding cell to teach her a lesson, but she was already gone.
It was the next day of the seminar, and Karin had a plan to get back at the confident icy Captain. She had spent all day yesterday looking for it. It was hidden in the back of her closet, but she knew it was worth all the time she spent looking for it. It was the perfect thing that would embarrass 'Frosty', and she couldn't wait to get him back just like she said she would.
She was out walking around the Academy towards where all the Court Guard Squad member were waiting for the next event that was on the schedule. She spotted him standing next to a bald headed guy and a busty strawberry blonde haired women which was perfect because she needed spectators for the plan to work. She walked up to the group of Soul Reapers with a small brown bag filled with her secret weapon.
"Hi, Captain Hitsugaya" Karin smiled standing right in front of him.
"What do you want Kuronoma" He frowned wondering what the sneaky girl was up to. The two people people beside him, Rangiku Matsumoto, and Ikkaku Madarame exchanged a weird look wondering why the Captain was so on edge, and why he was familiar with this academy student.
"I came to return this to you" Karin replied handing him the brown bag.
"What is this?" He questioned whilst pouring out what looked like black cloth from the bag . He had already dumped the bag out revealing the shihakusho that he had draped over her by the waterfall weeks ago. "Oh" was all he could muster.
He was stunned that she would even remember to give it back to him, trying to figure out what she was up to. It didn't take long for him to realize the mistake he made when he dumped out the piece of his clothing. The look resting on his Lieutenant, and Madarame's face were that of complete and utter shock.
"Don't worry it's clean, I washed it" Karin bubbled giving him a look of triumph before walking away whilst somewhat seductively saying "Bye Captain"
He was left standing there completely furious with the two gawking idiots beside him. Hitsugaya dreaded the next moment because he was completely red in the face hoping that it wasn't going to turn into something bad, but it did.
"Captain! is that your Shihakusho?" Matsumoto asked incredulously
"Yes. Matsumoto"
"I mean it makes sense." Madarame chuckled
"What makes sense?" Hitsugaya barked
"That you would be into Academy students…" Matsumoto finished
"WHAT!?" The Captain boomed his face continuing to blush.
"Captain, what do you expect us to think. You've grown up so much of course your hormones are running wild… But with an Academy student Captain. I'm surprised that you would break such a ru-"
"SHUT UP MATSUMOTO! That is not what happened." Hitsugaya Warned. He was then lightly punched in the arm by Ikkaku who gave him a thumbs up.
"Nice choice Captain Hitsugaya, She seems like she would be Fiesty. If you know what I mea-"
"Fuck off." He Sweared "I'm going to kill her" he muttered to himself before storming off in the direction she had left. He was fuming whilst looking for that girl, she knew exactly what she was doing, and he was going to make her pay for it.
