Toshiro turned a bright red, Karin going slightly red as well, "That's Hitsugaya Taicho to you!"

Then in silence Karin and Toshiro made their way back to the squad 10 office, Toshiro holding Karins hand for most of the trip. But once they reached the door, they had to let go. It wouldn't look good to be seen like that, not yet anyway. Toshiro entered first and gasped at the sight before him. One wall was destroyed obviously from a battle; at least nine people were passed out in a pile from drinking too much, there was a large blood patch on the opposite wall and outside his office were several piles of paperwork.

"ONE BLOODY DAY AND THIS HAPPENS!" Toshiro thought to himself he was about to shout for everyone to get up but was interrupted.

"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE?! ALL SQUAD TEN MEMBERS ARE TO REPORT TO THE MEETING ROOM IMMEDIATELY FOR SERVERE PUNISHMENT!" Karin screamed. Toshiro stood back and watched as she walked over to the pile of soul reapers. Behind her many other soul reapers hurried back down the ruined hall to the meeting room. "Get up," She said kicking the one on the bottom of the pile. He slowly opened his eyes to see the angry third seat standing over the top of him. Her eyes looked like they could kill and he could see her spiritual energy surrounding her like a cape. Quickly he stood up, all the others falling off him in the process.

"Th… third …seat… Kurosaki… Mam." He said shaking. Karin had made quite a name for herself and not just in her own squad most of the soul society new of her power and unforgiving personality that is if you got her mad she could be worse than her captain and Toshiro was known for his anger. Everyone knew of the time Kenpachi would not stop bugging Karin to fight him, she ended up getting seriously angry; she hadn't slept in days and still had a bunch of paperwork to complete. Kenpachi ended up in squad 4 for almost a week. And it was pretty clear that she was angry, that meant steer clear, or lose your head.

"GET YOUR LAZY ASSES INTO THE MEETING ROOM! NOW!" She screamed pointing down the hall. All nine ran down the hall in a hast and blast into the room, lining up with the rest of the squad. Karin followed silently behind, Toshiro filing in after her. He stood back and watched as she worked her magic on his incompetent squad.

All the squad members appeared to be present, except Masamoto who walked into the room and silently joined the end of a line. She may have been higher than Karin, but Karin still terrified Rangiku when she was angry. The room filled with a heavy silence, Karin pacing back and forth in front of the terrified soul reapers. Sighing she called the closest person forward and asked rather impatiently.

"What happened here?" It wasn't a shout but that scared the young soul reaper more than any could.

"Lenient… wanted to… throw… throw a party." He said shaking.

"Why?"

"Yumichika's birthday, she… said…" Karin felt the anger rise in her. Yumichika's birthday had already passed, she remembered celebrating it with everyone, Rangiku had just wanted to throw a party.

"Dammit Rangiku." Karin said turning her attention to the woman standing at the end of the line. She pinched the bridge of her nose sending the soul reaper back into her place. "Ok, I have the perfect punishment. If of course I can have your permission to grant it Taichio." Toshiro nodded and Karin continued. "For the next week, all of squad 10 will have 500 extra sword training and three more hours of drills added to their training regimen." They groaned, well half groaned. "And if I find out that any of you have been slacking that person will get two extra weeks of punishment and will be helping those nine that were passed out to rebuild the hall."

Toshiro nodded, it was a good punishment. It would both be brutal and still train them to be stronger. It was around this time that a group of squad 11 soldiers burst through the closed door. "Is there a problem." Karin asked walking over to the leader.

"Many have reported about hearing a beast raging in these halls and when we saw the wall we figured we should check…" The man was about to say something else but stopped upon seeing Karins eyes.

"I give up." She said pushing past them and leaving the room.

Once she was gone a loud sigh of relief filled the room. Everyone was glad that they were still alive. Rangiku walked over to Toshiro and said, "I am so, so sorry captain. We expected you to be gone for at least three days and had planned to have it clean up. But Toshiro you can't expect the squad to complete this extra training."

"It is a perfectly good punishment." As Toshiro said this, he made his way to the door pushing past the members of squad eleven as they bowed.

Toshiro followed the raging spiritual pressure and after walking through many halls and even one with a large crack on it, Toshiro found himself standing before Karin. She was motionless as Toshiro approached.

"Karin?" he asked softly. Karin turned to face him anger still fuelling her, but upon seeing his face she relaxed. Toshiro walked over to her and place one hand on her cheek; looking into her eyes he whispered three little words that melted all Karin's anger away. "I love you." She wrapped her arms around him, and smiled.

Toshiro now realized where he was standing; it was a beautiful garden. The edges were marked out by Sakura trees that were currently in bloom. The trees hid the buildings that surrounded the garden, there were two gaps in the trees, the entrance and the other had a beautiful view of the sky and Toshiro found that the sun was already setting creating a purple and gold horizon. It seemed that they were on the edge of a cliff, but where, there was a very far drop if you wanted to jump, but it was quite amazing. About a meter from where the cliff dropped down was a small wooden bench and everywhere bushes of flowers stuck out, all different colours. In the centre of it all was a large fountain that sprayed a cool air around the garden. It was amazing and so silent. "Karin, where are we?" Toshiro asked.

Karin pulled away from the hug and smiled up at the man she loved. Pulling him by the arm she led him around the fountain and they danced playfully around the spurting water. She laughed as Toshiro tripped, trying to catch her. But when he did catch her they both fell into the water, drenched and cold but laughing. The moon was the only thing to guide them as they made their way to the bench. Once there they stretched out, Karin laying her head on Toshiros lap as she stared up into the sky.

After at least an hour Toshiro broke the silence, "So, you still haven't told me."

Karin looked up at him confused. "What?"

"Where we are?"

"Oh that. I haven't the slightest idea, I only found this place by accident or rather it found me. I was angry about something, not entirely sore what, but my anger kind of lead me here. Ever since I have come here to think."

"To think about what?" Toshiro asked not expecting an answer, but he wasn't at all surprised when he got one.

"Stuff, life, you." She said looking up into his green eyes. He smiled slightly and leaned down to kiss her. It started out soft but it quickly became heated and Karin sat up leaning into the kiss, Toshiro also became more into it wrapping his arms around the shoulders of his lover and bringing their bodies closer. Toshiro slipped his tongue into Karins mouth exploring the inside of his mouth, her tongue responding by doing the same thing in Toshiros mouth. After what seemed like seconds, but was more like minutes they were forced to pull themselves apart as both needed air.

"We should be getting back," Karin said standing, making shore that she didn't fall to her demise.

"Your right, we should at least get some sleep, tomorrow is going to be a long day." Toshiro said joining also standing and walking over to Karin. "But I should at least escort you home first." He said slipping his hand into hers. Karin just smiled and they walked in a perfect silence, back to Karins quarters.

All the seated officers had private living quarters, Karin being no exception and she was glad to. All the other officers had to sleep in the large sleeping quarters were hundreds of futons were kept. As they reached Karins quarters she felt a pang of sadness, the door mean that Toshiro would have to go home. But taking a gamble she asked. "Come in, I will prepare some tea for us." Toshiro followed her in. Her home composed of a kitchen, bathroom and lounge/bedroom. It was small compared to Toshiros home but just like him Karin had only the few things that were needed to live, plus a few photos in frames on a cabinet. In the cabinet were serval books. Toshiro scanned each title, they seemed new to him, but his eyes fell to one book that had no title. Pulling it out he begun to read.

Dear diary, lately I have been having these flash backs in my dreams. Little Toshiro and heaps other kids surround me there. It seems fun and it all feels so real. At the end of each dream, I am running from someone pulling Toshiro along with me. I can't lose Toshiro, next to me Renji runs, an expression of terror on his face. But then something happens and I die. After I wake up, the pain still lingers, it feels like I have been impaled. Lately it has been getting worse, sometimes I have to lie in bed for an hour before the pain goes away and I don't have to worry about breathing. But it still really hurts and I don't know what to do.

so here is chapter 7, yes there is still plenty more to go and i would really like to here your opinion on it all. i hope i get a lot of reviews for this one
