Walking back home….

A/N ok umm…yes I am a dudette heh anyway ok here is the next chapter….thanks for reviewing….sorry this chapter took so long, but hope you like it. Here we go!

I turned and walked away from Toshiro, then burst into tears. I was hoping he couldn't hear me, not like I cared.

"What's wrong with me?" I whispered to myself.

I wiped my tears away but it didn't help stop them. I didn't get it, I hadn't cried in a long time, why would I start crying now? I tried to hold back my tears, it didn't help much though. I cried silently as I made my way back to my house. I had stopped crying by the time I stopped in front of my house, I looked back then decided I wasn't ready to go in just yet. I turned on my heel and walked down the sidewalk. I walked slowly past the trees….it was going to snow tonight. I stopped when I seen a snowflake land in front of me.

"Or now." I said.

I stopped and sat on a nearby bench. I needed time to pull myself together. Ichi-nii was going to be alright…..right? I asked myself in my head. I buried my head in my sleeve.

"Right?" I said choking on my tears. I lied down on the bench.

"Soon…..soon I would become a soul reaper…..and there will be power…..enough power to help Ichigo….in whatever he set out to do. I silently closed my eyes. I was soon overcome by the cold feeling of snow overwhelming me.

"I will help you Ichigo….I promise." I said before drifting into a deep sleep.

A couple hours later….

I blinked my eyes.

"Ichigo…." I mumbled. I opened my eyes. I was overcome by attention, I seen my body clearly now, I was in a hospital bed.

"Huh? What…." I said but was interrupted by Yuzu and her crying.

"Karin!!!!!! I'm so glad your okay!!!!!" Yuzu said in between sobs.

"What?" I said.

"My daughter!!!" Isshin yelled.

"Dad, what happened?" I asked.

"You fell asleep on a bench and it began snowing, you were almost buried under it until a boy saved you." Isshin said.

"Boy?" I thought who it could be…Toshiro or someone else.

"I don't know how he could tolerate the cold, he wasn't even wearing a jacket….let alone a sweater!" Yuzu yelled.

"Toshiro…." I whispered to myself.

"What was that sweetheart?" Isshin said.

"Nothing…." I said to myself.

"After the boy brought you here he just left…..he didn't even give us the chance to thank him…" Yuzu said.

"Oh" I said softly. I didn't tell Isshin about me becoming a soul reaper…..I didn't think I had to….

"I need to get out of here." I said.

"You're not going anywhere Karin." Yuzu said.

"But…." I said.

"Karin….please." Yuzu said.

"Ok…." I said. I knew I couldn't decide against my sister. I lied back on my pillow.

"Were going to go now, Karin…..sweet dreams" Yuzu said walking out.

"Goodnight Karin." Isshin said.

"Night….." I said.
