Chapter 2

"Kurosaki Karin!" Hitsugaya shouted, the tone was full of anger.

"Yo, Toushiro." Karin plugged in the hair dryer as she dried her hair with it and brushing her hair with a comb, letting the water drops splash into the soft that that she's stepping on with her bare feet. "What brought you here today?" She took a hair band from the top draw and tied up her hair.

"Why are you using my towel?! And why does your hair smells like my shampoo and conditioner?! Don't use other people's stuff without permission!" He slammed his hand on the mirror; his face was only a few centimetres apart from Karin's. He stared into her onyx eyes, reflecting her face in his emerald eyes.

"It's Yuzu's towel… Just turned out there were two towels that are the same… I know this is Yuzu's not yours." Karin patted his shoulders, trying to calm him down; she placed the hair dryer on the blank space next to the sink. "And I used the shampoo and conditioner by accident… just… calm… down…"

"Ka-" Hitsugaya was going to say something to Karin but the sweet voice of Yuzu's appeared. The stomping of her footsteps was heard down from the hallway.

"Toushiro-kun, dinner is ready!" Yuzu's head popped out og the corner. Seeing a scene of Hitsugaya who was only a few centimetres apart from Karin, who only had a light blue towel wrapped around her body, which was more than ten centimetres above her knees, showing her long legs and stunning body line. "Karin-chan! So you were having a shower! I'm sorry to interfere you two but get ready for dinner!" She ran to the dining room hurriedly, giggling under her breath.

The two looked to where Yuzu was until she disappeared behind the corner. Hitsugaya noticing that how close that they were, how Karin only has a towel around her body. He stared at Karin's body, although she was always like a tomboy, but the growth of her body still showed he girl-like side. Hitsugaya was stunned.

"Ah! I'm sorry… Never noticed that you just came out of the shower… uh… um… I'll see you at the dining room then." Hitsugaya closed the bathroom door immediately after he finishedhis apology, face blushing, his face was literally burning red. He told himself to not to think about it. He would blush more and Yuzu will start teasing about him and Karin. He tried to calm down.

Calm down, Hitsugaya Toushiro. You need to calm. Everything is fine. No one will talk about it. He thought deep into his mind, rubbing the red off his cold face. It will be fine. Nothing has happened. Nothing. I never saw Karin in that costume, I never, did. He though more, but the red will just not disappear.

"Toushiro, what you standing here for? Let's go eat dinner now." Karin slammed her hand on Hitsugaya's shoulder, a bright smile spread across her face, as if nothing has just happened a moment ago.

"Oh Karin, let's go then." He said quickly, staring at Karin. She was wearing a white shirt with black skirt and grey tights matched with the skirt. Her hair was tied up high in a ponytail, a few drops of water splashed onto her shoulders, soaking her shirt's collar wet.

Hitsugaya turned his body away from Karin and walked to wards the dining room with Karin following behind him. It was silent, an awkward atmosphere all because of what has just happened. The sound of the steps echoing down the hallway, no conversation between the two, both of them thinking about something, deep into their minds.

"Hey, Ichigo." A girl with black short hair and violet eyes spoke coldly, placing her books and laptop into her handbag, stood up, pulled the ear of an orange head. The room was only left with a few more people packing up and heading out. "Hey, Ichigo!" She slammed her hand bag onto his head.

"Rukia… just wait…" Ichigo was focusing on his phone, didn't even look at her for one second. His long fingers tapping on the phone's screen, earphones plugged into his ears. "Done!" He brought up a bright smile and stood up from his chair.

"What were you doing, it's bad for your eyes to focus like that." She demanded. Her heart-shaped necklace shined under the sunlight.

"I ordered two first class tickets to Tokyo. It's tomorrow 12pm and flight number will be HTZ586. I want you to meet my family, Rukia." He wrapped his arm around her, smothering his hand through her hair.

"Family…?" Rukia looked into his eyes, all she had was her nii-sama, who's currently teaching at Tokyo High, Kuchiki Byakuya, and her unknow sister, who was once Byakuya and his only lover. She was adopted by the Kuchiki family, so she never knew the warmth of family. She was brought up treated as a cold and mature lady, calm and sensible with proper manners, but, she was a cold-hearted girl.

"Ah… I'm sorry Rukia, but I definitely promise my family will accept you." His fingers tangled with hers, the two silver rings shined and sparkled under the sunlight which was passing throught the huge glass windows. He kissed her on her forehead and pulled out her out of the empty classroom, heading back to the small apartment that they both rented since the start of the university life. It was Ichigo's apartment at the start but Rukia moved to live with her when she noticed how lazy he was. So they're currently living together. The messy and dirty apartment was now new and clean under Rukia's hands.

-Back to their apartment-

Ichigo opened his draw, trying to find the house key for returning back to his family. "It's here." Rukia chucked a bunch of keys to his direction, a chappy key ring dangled down when he caught it. "Quickly and pack up you stuff, Ichigo. We're going to the Four Season Hotel near the airport today right?" She took out a purple suitcase and a black suitcase from the top of the cupboard. She attached a tag with their names on it onto the zipper along with a chappy key chain. "Quickly Ichigo! I just booked a room for us at the hotel. They said it'll be cancelled if we don't arrive and get the room keys before 4pm. It's already 3pm you baka!" She started to pack up her clothes and belongings, leaving Ichigo alone doing his own packings.

They started to pack up, their apartment starting to get emptly as they left the room heading towards the hotel.

Karin yawned and stretched her arms up high, climbing off her bed. She slide open her curtains and opened her window to let some fresh air come in. She opened her cupboard and pulled out her uniform.

Today is the weekend Karin, no school." A cold voice hovered into her ears. She turned around, the emerald eyes staring at her. He climbed off the bed at the other corner of the room. "Good morning." He opened the door of the room, and headed downstairs.

"Good morning…" Karin stared at him until he left, something was weird, until she was completely awaken. "Why is Toushiro sleeping in my room but on your bed, Yuzu?!" She stomped downstairs as she shoved her uniform back into the cupboard. She shouted downstairs without even getting changed.

Her hair was all messed up, Yuzu was making 'breakfast'. "Ah Karin-chan, don't you remember? That her sister Momo-san called him saying that Toushiro-kun need to stay overnight here because her friend accidently fell asleep while studying so he needs Toushiro-kun's room. Just meaning Toushiro-kun's room was stolen by Momo-san's friend." Yuzu explained while she continued cooking.

Karin glared at Toushiro, he just woke up, wearing long black trousers with a shirt that the first three buttons aren't even buttoned properly. He asked Yuzu for milk, as she took the carton of milk from the fridge and gave him a cup to pour it in.

The home phone rang, Karin ran to the phone and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Yo, Karin." A voice spoke, it was very familiar and touching to Karin.

"Ichi-nii!"A smile spread right across her face and yelled out of joy.

"I'm back. Tell Yuzu that we're going out for dinner tonight, don't let her do too much housework." Ichigo spoke; he's currently at Tokyo National Airport, with Rukia.

"Hai, Ichi-nii! We will be waiting for you! Or do you want us to come and pick you up from the airport? What time will you arrive at Tokyo National Airport? What's the flight number?" Karin cannot hide her excitement, all Hitsugaya and Yuzu saw was her jumping around like crazy right in front of the phone. "I'll need to go change so wait for me!"

"Karin, it's fine. We're already at the airport so we will just get a taxi back home." Ichigo replied. "And it's already 3pm… You sure did wake up late today."

Although he hasn't be back for two years, it was obvious that his family will react like that. He was grabbing onto Rukia, walking to Exit B, Gates 3-4, which was the closest exit to go back home.

The reason why Ichigo heading back Tokyo wasn't just to meet his family, but both of them, Ichigo and Rukia, are going to be studying at Tokyo High as student teachers starting from the next school day. Although their teacher told them to study at Hokkaido High but they refused and requested for Tokyo High. It was not much problem since Kuchiki Byakuya, was graduated from University of Hokkaido so he can take care of the two.

"Wait… 3pm already?! Ichi-nii, I'll see you soon then! Bye!" She hang up the phone and stomped back upstairs.

"Beep- Beep- Beep-" The phone was hang up, Ichigo shoved his phone back into his pocket. He walked out the gate and went on a taxi with Rukia.

"Ichigo, is it ohkay for me to dress like this to meet your family? Is it too casual? Should I wear something more formal? Hey Ichigo-" Rukia was frustrating and worried since they got on the taxi. She was wearing a black strapped dress that reaches up to her knees with a white jacket, a pair of black sandals fitted perfectly with her dress.

"It's fine, don't worry. You're pretty enough." Ichigo pulled Rukia towards him and kissed her on the lips. He always kissed her after those type of words.

"It's public, baka. Be aware." She blushed, but her violet eyes showed anger with a bit of seriousness. She started to give him lectures about manners and being sensible in public society throughout the whole drive back home.

"Ohkay…Ohkay…" Ichigo stepped out of the taxi, getting released from the annoying lectures that Rukia always gave him. He paid the driver and requesting him to help take out the suitcases. Rukia's suitcase was extremely heavy, Ichigo having no idea what she put in there.

Ichigo took out the house keys and unlocked the door, with two large suitcases in his hands. Rukia followed behind him into the house. As soon the two girls saw their dearest brother entering the living room, they burst out of their seats at the dining table and gave him a hug attack.

"I'm back, Yuzu, Karin."

"Welcome back, Ichi-nii/onii-chan!"
