The day of the dance

A/N sorry ppl I haven't updated…huge case of writers block…..I'm still trying to figure out some things, ok, thank you all for reviewing….I made it over 70! WOO HOO! Sorry but that is a big deal for me. So guys thank you all and here we go! Oh and I am going to Nevada….I just figured out yesterday…so hope you like this chapter…..it's the only one you'll get until I come back….XD

I woke up and light shone in my face I squinted my eyes and my heart was pain stricken again….for I just remembered that my best friend Keii had died….but then happiness flowed through me as I remembered that Toshiro was going to take me to the dance….I was wondering if he took me because he felt sorry for me…..or if it was because…

"KARIN! THE DANCE IS TODAY! COME EAT BREAKFAST!" Yuzu's soft innocent voice yelled from downstairs.

"O…Ok Yuzu hold on!" I sat up and threw the covers off of me I brushed my mid-length hair and walked downstairs as light fluttered in the house…..it was filled with joy and happiness…..Keii would have wanted this…..for me to be happy….I reached the bottom step and greeted Rukia and Ichigo as I noticed Rukia's stomach had grown a little, for she hadn't been pregnant long.

"Hi guys." I said as I noticed that they were all looking at me with sympathy.

"You ok?" Ichigo asked.

"I'll be fine guys don't worry."

"Ok! In that case let's eat everyone!" Yuzu announced.

We all sat down at the table….for once we were all happy….and just like a family….laughing, talking, and fighting….exactly as a Kurosaki family would. I never felt happier…..even though 2 people that were very close to me had passed on….I was still happy….in hope to one day see them again.

"Karin….ok I waited long enough…I was going to tell you that…..JINTA ASKED ME TOO BE HIS DATE TO THE DANCE!" Yuzu squealed.

"Well it took him long enough!" I said smiling.

"What! Who's going on a date!" Ichigo said.

"Karin and Yuzu." Rukia said.

"What! When with who!"

"Toshiro and Jinta!"

"I didn't hear about this!"

"They're grown up now Ichigo you need to let it go."

"Ugh fine!"

"Ok Karin! After we eat, we are going to go get your hair done then, we have to go get your nails do-"

"No, anything but my nails." I said as Yuzu put on her pouty face, took out a notepad and scratched off something.

"Ok….then hmm……you know what…we'll just figure it out as we go along!"

"Ok…."

After a while we all went to what we were doing before….Yuzu was in her room figuring out what she was going to say to Jinta. Ichigo and Rukia were in their room, doing who knows what. And Isshin was in front of the television screaming at it.

I told Yuzu I was going out for a walk, she said to not stay out too long. I looked outside, grabbed my jacket and walked downstairs suddenly a huge scream interrupted Karakura's peacefulness.

"A hollow….I'm the only one nearest…..I'll go." I whispered to myself as I looked towards Ichigo's room, he probably didn't notice it.

I ran outside and into the light falling snow. I sensed how strong it was as I ran in its direction, I changed into soul reaper form and shunpoed, trying to reach it before it caused too much damage. I seen it in the distance and ran to it I jumped over its mask and my sword clashed with its mask, making a horrible screeching noise, as it disintegrated into mid-air. I slowly led myself to the ground as I changed back into my gigai. I started walking down the street again as if nothing had happened. Then I heard my name being called out.

"Karin!"I turned around and seen a nervous wreck running towards me. It was Jinta, I turned back around and bursted out laughing, I didn't know such an innocent girl could do this to a person like Jinta.

"Karin…..I need your help! I don't know what to do! Yuzu is such an angel! And well"

"Yeah yeah, your nervous you don't know what to say or how to dance, blah blah, the whole boy package."

"Well….WHAT DO I DO!"

"Be yourself, she wouldn't like you if you acted-…..hold on Jinta…..another hollow…."

"Wait I wanna help!"We both ran in the direction that we felt it.

"Whoa! That's a big hollow!" Jinta said taking out his over-sized bat again.

"Hurry!"

I changed into soul reaper form again and jumped up as it frantically slashed its huge hands at us both. I whipped out my sword that was secured on my back. I cut off its arm and Jinta hit its mask. It cracked a little but not all the way. I sliced its leg, as it gave another piercing cry, I leaped up to its mask and sliced it straight down the middle. It disappeared from sight, and me and Jinta both landed on the ground safely.

"That was fun." Jinta said proudly.

"So, well….be yourself like you always have….."

"But I always acted strange around her, if I act myself she won't like me."

"Yes she will."

"How do you know."

"Cause your pretty cool now." I said as I ruffled his hair.

"Stop it" Jinta said as he pushed me away from his hairs reach.

"So that's it, just be yourself, and don't mess this up either."

"Fine I won't! Thanks Karin, see ya at the dance tonight!"

"Bye!"

I looked back and then turned forward smiling I trudged through the now heavy falling snow, trying to reach my house which was a couple blocks away. I reached my house as I opened the door Yuzu pulled me in.

"Where have you been!"

"Umm…doing a couple errands…"

"You missed lunch! Here have some leftovers." Yuzu pulled me inside the kitchen as she looked at me.

"After you are done eating go take a shower, then blow-dry it, I'm going to do your hair. Hurry now!" Yuzu put a plate of hot food in front of my face.

After eating

I ran upstairs and up to my room I hurriedly took a shower after I took my shower I blow-dried my hair and waited for Yuzu in my room. I stared at the snow outside, hoping that it would soon stop. Even though I love snow…..it just wouldn't go well with my dress.

Yuzu came inside my room with all her materials and supplies, she laid them out on my bed and pulled up a seat, she forced me into it and started tugging and pulling at it as she brushed it out, she put in some hair protection, and then straightened my hair, after that I stopped paying attention, to whatever she was doing to my hair, all I felt was pain every now and then from all the pulling and tying and whatever else.

"Ok…I have to do my hair now, come help me Karin!" Yuzu said as we both ran into her room and got whatever we needed then ran back into my room.

"Ok….hold my hair up. Hold on ok clip it…..wait grab the straightener, ok hold on brush it out first, ok let's see….get the pins!"Yuzu called out commands as I dashed from room to room trying to get everything she asked for.

After 2 hours of fixing hair

"I think we accomplished it……now all we have to do is, get my nails done, get dressed, do make-up, jewelry, shoes, and everything else!" Yuzu announced.

"I'm going to get my nails done, you stay here and try not to mess your hair up." Yuzu said as she ran out and dashed downstairs.

"Alright…." I said as I walked downstairs…..I looked up at the time, it said 3:00.

"Good plenty of time…..but then again, me and Yuzu were invited to eat dinner with Toshiro and Jinta at 6:30 that leaves only about three and a half hours, great." I sat down at the kitchen table and ate a snack I laid my head down on the counter then I wandered upstairs again and picked up my iPod I put in the headphones and blasted it through my ears as I fell asleep.

When I wake up

"Karin!" Yuzu pulled the headphones out of my ears and held a bag on her arm.

"What…."

"We need to get ready now!" Yuzu said.

"What time is it?"

"5:00"

"Oh ok."

"You messed you're hair up too!"

"Sorry."

We both grabbed our dresses and threw them on, Yuzu fixed herself first then she helped me, she hurriedly did my make-up and then did hers, we slid our shoes on and then started to fix ourselves again.

"Ok….its 6:15….we did it, we managed to get ready in less than 2 hours." Yuzu said as she ran happily out my door, I smiled and then thought about what was about to take place in less than 15 minutes now.
