Toshiro tried to hold back a gasp as he read the diary entry. There were hundred of other entries that were simple to the one that he had just read. "How long has she been having theses kinds of dreams, or rather memories?" He thought to himself. At that exact moment Karin walked in the room carrying a tray of tea and cakes. Toshiro quickly hid the diary in the folds of his Shihakusho and took a seat at the kotatsu in tenge middle of the middle of the room. Karin placed the tray on there table and sat across from him a smile on her face. After the tea was poured they begun to eat the small cakes and talk about random stuff. What they liked to eat, what they liked to drink, what they liked to do in there spare time. When they had finished eating Karin up the plates back on he the tray and head for the kitchen. On the way back Karin tripped over air and expecting to make contact with the hard ground she was surprised to have been caught by her love.

"Are you ok?"a concerned Toshiro asked. He was lying on the floor beneath Karin, hugging her shoulders.

"I'm fine," she answered sighing into his chest. She leaned into him and rested her head on his chest. He didn't move away, he didn't want to. He liked cuddling Karin, and placed a kiss on her head of Raven hair with a smile. Karin looked up and placed a soft kiss on his lips. He returned the kiss and soon they were cuddling and making out on the floor of Karins living quarters. Soon Karin became tired and fell asleep in Toshiro arms, Toshiro joining her only seconds later.

They woke up the next morning in each other's arm, Karin happy at finally being with the one she loved and Toshiro happy for the same reason. They sat at up and stared at each other for at least ten minutes before Karin decided that she needed to get up. She walked into the kitchen grabbing a glass of water and letting a small sigh escape her lips. She gulped down the water before a pair of arms snaked around her waist and a head rested on her shoulder. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" Toshiro asked into her ear.

Karin smiled before answering, "no but I would be interested to here."

The white headed soul reaper lifted her head from her shoulder and spun her around to face him. "The beauty of an angle couldn't compare to the beauty of you." He said. He knew that he sounded cheesy but it earned him a smile bad that was enough.

"Have you never heard of an ugly angle," Karin teased.

"No gem in the world is more priceless or beautiful than you, and no man or woman could deny that fact." Karin nodded her head in acceptance before placing a cast kiss upon his lips and nuzzling into his chest.

"Have you any idea how much I love you?" Karin asked nearly laughing.

"Ah yes, as much a young girl loves her first teddy." He smiled and Karin let out a small laugh, it was indeed very sweet and very cheesy, but it still made her laugh and a small blush spread across her cheeks.

There moment in each other's arms was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Karin," an excited voice called. Oh god, it was ichigo.

Karin tore herself away from Toshiro and realised just how disheveled he was. His hair was far worse than normal and he had somehow managed to get a massive gashed down the side of his shihakusho during the night. He went to one of the only windows in the whole house while Karin opened the door to her brother, planning to distract him.

"Ichi-nii,"Karin said giving her brother a massive hug. "What are you doing here?" She asked a smile on her face. Her voice was tip I with annoyance and Ichigo let out a small laugh.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"Yeah," Karin lied.

"I just came here see how you were doing and I got asked to apologise to you on behalf of squad 11 and squad 10." He laughed scratching the back of I his head. Karin moved aside so that her brother could enter. He walked inside and sat at the kotatsu, Karin sitting a cross from him. Karin let a large smile slip on her face, it had been a while since she had seen her brother.

"Well I guess I accept there apology, but if they do it again, I won't be so easy on them." Karin said getting up to get herself some tea and her brother some coffee. Ichigo laughed before following her into the small kitchen.

He noticed the dishes that had been the night before and asked with a joking expression. "Did Karin have someone over last night?"

"Yeah, your point?" She asked nearly attacking her brother.

"Oh Karin-chan got a boyfriend," Ichigo said trying to use Yuzu voice.

"Knock it off," Karin said punching her brother in the he arm. He broke out on a fit of laughter while Karin continued to make the tea and coffee.

When was finally finished she handed Ichigo his cup and waited until he was drinking to tell him, "You know Yuzu has a boyfriend now?"

Coffee went everywhere, leaving Ichigos mouth as he begun to freak out. "Since when, who is it anyway?" He asked grabbing onto Karins shoulders.

"It's that moron Jinta," she responded a smirk on her face, waiting to see her brothers reaction.

He was basically raging and his spiritual pressure was flaring off him in heaps, "If he hurts Yuzu I will kill him. Cut up his soul into a million pieces and feed it to a hallow." He said darkly.

Karin just laughed before putting a hand on I his shoulder and saying. "If he makes her cry then I will come and get you Ichi-nii, but I seriously doubt that will happen."

Ichigo calmed down and a sigh escaped his lips. "Anyway I came to tell you about the ball in four days." He said after a few seconds of silence.

"I heard rumours about one. Your point Ichi-nii?"

"Well, I got permission from old man Yamamoto, and he said that Dad and Yuzu could come." He said leaning against the sink.

Karin hadn't originally planned to go to the ball, she had intended to go back to the world of the living and spend the day with her sister because the ball happened to fall on the day of her 21st birthday, Ichigo had even said that he would try and ditch the ball but now it was good. They could go to the ball and celebrate hers and Yuzu's 21st all together.

"Really?" She asked, excitement filling her voice, she was nearly jumping with joy.

"Yeah, I told her earlier and she was extremely happy and dad wouldn't shut the hell so fricken annoying." Ichigo complained. "Oh yeah she wants you to go back there again and help her get a dress or something."

This didn't flatten her excitement as she hugged her brother tight and jumped. "I have to talk to her!" Karin exclaimed. Ichigo just smirked, his sister wasn't usually the girly type.

"Well I have to get going, and tell Yuzu that she can bring that moron along," He said making his way to the door and leaving with a goodbye. Now Karin couldn't wait, it would be a long three days till the ball which she had originaly dreaded.

As Toshiro made his way back to his living quarters he tried extremely hard to stay in the he shadows. He didn't want to run into anyone, so it was just his luck that he ran into Captain Kyouraku and Captain Ukitake taking a morning stroll.

"Oh good morning Toshiro," Kyouraku said before breaking out in laughter at the sight of him. "You look like you had a fun night," he continued raising one eyebrow.

Toshiros face went a deep red which just made Captain Kyouraku laugh even more and Captain Ukitake went a light red before giving off a small laugh himself, "I must say Captain Hitsugaya, I never thought I would see you in such a state." Ukitake said, holding up a hand to try and prevent his laugh.

Toshiro, if possible, went a darker red and folded his arms. "And I have never seen you without your haori on." It was only after the comment that Toshiro realised that he was in fact missing his captain haori and he gasped at the realisation that Ichigo may have seen it.

He grabbed the bridge of his nose before saying, "Fuck, I must have left it at her house."

Upon hearing him curse the two older captains gasped in surprised, they had never heard him curse before. "Well now I have heard everything," The captain of squad eight said with a laugh, "And will this "her" be making an appearance at the ball in three days?" He asked raising his eye brow again.

"Shit." Toshiro said realising that he hadn't asked her yet. He hadn't given it any thought at all, but he needed to ask her. He would later, make it a good surprise.

"Is that a yes or a no?" Ukitake laughed. In stead of answering him, Toshiro pushed past the two older captains earning himself two loud laughs from the men as he stormed of in thought.

I had to put on the ball, it was just something that suddenly struck me, and I know heaps of people do the ball thing where there relationship is finally revealed, but I am gonna do somethin a little different. Please review.
