I'm sorry for the late reply!
I had a bunch of assignments and tests this week so I couldn't update yesterday.
I just finished it one second ago so...
Here is Chapter 5 of Just, Caught Sight of You.
I hope you like it!

Chapter 5
"Listening from before, seems like the ice block has a crush on some girl?" Karin spoke. She didn't really felt it, but her heart was stabbed for just one second. She didn't know why.
He didn't reply. He didn't know. He thought to himself, and nodded. None of the girls are even close to him, he hardly know any girls in the school except for Karin and Yuzu. Wait. What did Karin just ask again?
"Really?! Can I know? Is it someone in our class? Or is it someone in your fan club? Who is it?" Karin leaned towards him. Her face brightened as a few pieces of hair was blown into her face by the wind.
Hitsugaya faced towards Karin, his eyes were cold as usual, but there was something different today. His eyes were mixed with a pinch of confusion. "I don't know." But he somehow didn't say the words 'what you are talking about'. It makes him feel that he wasn't caring about Karin at all. His feelings were starting to get a bit weird more and more since he started to talk to Karin and be with her more and more.
"You don't know?!" Karin sighed, "I'll try to find out myself then." She stood up and stretched her arms up high in the sky. She looked down to Hitsugaya, who was looking into the sunset.
"I don't like anyone, Karin!" Hitsugaya suddenly remembered what Karin asked him. Saying a 'yes' to Karin that I like a girl?! That's impossible! What was I thinking about back then? He shook his head, trying to brainwash himself. He stood up, reached for his phone in his pocket. Five fifty, he should go back, otherwise his sister is going to shout at him. "I'll be going then, I will see you tomorrow, Karin." He jumped over the fence and walked away.
She giggled. It's definitely true that he likes someone, maybe that he just doesn't realises his own feelings. She sticked out her tongue to Hitsugaya when he looked back to see if she was still there. He smirked, as a reply. "I'll see you tomorrow then, Toushiro!" Karin shouted to him and ran back home.
Hitsugaya continued walking the opposite way of Karin's home. He reached for the keys in his bag of his apartment, checking the time on the phone at the same time.
The time passed minute by minute. Arriving right in front of his apartment, he started to spin his keys on one of his fingers as he walked up the stairs. He stopped in front of a white door; the click of the unlocked door was heard.
"Shiro-chan!" The sweet voice attacked Hitsugaya with a huge hug. It was Hinamori Momo, his sister. "Come on in quickly, I want to introduce you to someone." She had a bright smile on her face. It was obvious she was really happy about something.
Hitsugaya took off his shoes lazily and stepped inside. He was thinking of having a shower right after he arrive back home but instead, he was getting pulled by Hinamori to the living room to meet someone.
He sighed. What on earth made her so happy?! What the hell has happened? He though, he raised his eyes and caught sight of a man sitting on the coach.
"Sousuke-kun, this is my brother, Hitsugaya Toushiro." Hinamori pulled Hitsugaya next to the man and continued. "Shiro-chan, this is Aizen Sousuke, your future brother-in-law." She spoke cheerfully. Hitsugaya looked at Aizen, noticing a ring on one of his fingers, which was a perfect match of the ring on Hinamori's finger.
Hitsugaya turned his head towards Hinamori, seeing her face covered with happiness as the ring shined into his eyes. He looked back to Aizen. He is a dangerous person. This was the first impression of Aizen from him. He just has a feeling telling him Aizen is dangerous.
"Momo," Hitsugaya spoke, trying to tell her about the dangerous aur of Aizen, but it was stopped by Aizen's voice.
"Nice to meet you, Hitsugaya-kun." Aizen pulled out a smile and lend out his hand for a handshake.
"…Nice to meet you too, Aizen." Hitsugaya took out his hand. They had a firm handshake. Hitsugaya's face was cold as usual, but Aizen's smile didn't fade away yet.
"Momo… I will go back to my room now; I'll leave the two of you alone." Hitsugaya turned around and headed back to his room. Hinamori blushed and smiled to Aizen. He replied back with a hug, creating a world consisting only Hinamori and himself.
Hitsugaya turned his door knob and entered his room. His room is a master suite, with a queen sized single bed and a bathroom. But the room isn't really large at all, since they live in an apartment. He opened his cupboard and grabbed out a pair of trousers and a white shirt. He went to the bathroom which was right next to his cupboard and went for a quick shower.
"I'm back." Karin took off her runners and placed it on the shoe shelf. She walked into the living room where her family were gathered together (only Isshin wasn't there) watching the television.
"Welcome back, Karin-chan." Yuzu jumped up and hopped towards her. "Have you had dinner with Toushiro-kun yet?" Her eyes sparkled. She knew Karin went out to see Hitsugaya. She usually stays home and do homework at that time except if Hitsugaya called her out or she was going to hang out with Hitsugaya.
"Toushiro? Dinner with Toushiro?! No! I was just with at the park down the street. How can we possibly have dinner together Yuzu?!" Karin complained, her were slightly red. "And why would I even go out and eat with him? It's not like that we are dating each other." Karin sighed with her arms crossed.
"So you're saying that you want to go out with him?" Rukia looked towards Karin, pushing Ichigo aside.
Karin was speechless. She was going to say something but got stopped by Ichigo's voice.
"Toushiro? You mean that white head bastard?" Ichigo spoke, it was obvious that he dislikes Hitsugaya, all because of the fight that the two had when they first met. Hitsugaya Toushiro? Karin actually hangs out with him?! Ichigo continued on watching the television, but he tried to not show any anger on his face since Hitsugaya was one of Karin's best friends. He sighed, his fingers running across the remote control changing the channels on the screen.
Karin nodded, "Ichi-nii, Toushiro is a good person… I'm sure that you guys can make good friends." She pulled out a smile and asked Yuzu if she can help for dinner tonight.
Karin usually doesn't help out for dinner since Yuzu can handle it all by herself. Due to their homeroom teacher, Kotetsu Isane, is going to hold up an assignment for the whole class, Karin will definitely need help from Yuzu since she sucks at homeroom. Of course, Yuzu happily agreed and pulled her to the kitchen, leaving Ichigo and Rukia alone in the living room.
"Ruikia-" Ichigo spoke, his voice showed a slight of anxiety. He tried to hide it inside but Rukia will always notice it.
"Don't be like that, Ichigo. Hitsugaya is a good person. I know him better than you." Rukia spoke softly, laying her head on his shoulder. She gave him a faint smile and took the remote control, placing it on the glass table next to the coach.
He was silent, he said nothing at all. Ichigo wrapped his arm around Rukia's waist and pulled her closer to himself. The two stayed like that watching the shows displaying on the screen quietly.
Hitsugaya opened his lamp on his desk and took out text books and exercise books from his school bag. His hair was still wet, tiny droplets of water dripping down the tip ends of his hair, making the carpet damp. He stared out of the window for one second; the sky was already dark as the moon started to rise into the night sky. He grabbed a packet of lollies from his draw and started to work on his school assignments.
"Shiro-chan, Sousuke-kun and I are going out for dinner; do you want to come along with us?" Hinamori called with her high pitched voice.
"No thanks. You two can go. I can make my own dinner." Hitsugaya replied and continued onto his assignments.
"Take care of yourself then. I'll be back." Hinamori walked out the door, "Lock the door, Shiro-chan."
He sighed. He stood up and got his keys to lock the front door, but Aizen was blocking in the way.
"I'll see you later, Hitsugaya-kun." Aizen smiled and pushed his glasses. "You are really sensitive." He closed the door and followed Hinamori. Hitsugaya knew something is going to happen to Hinamori soon, something bad. The cause must be Aizen. He tried to stop thinking and headed back to his own room after locking the door.
He stared at the maths homework, trying to solve the algebraic equations. His pen started to slow down, as he started to think about what has happened at the park. What was I thinking of back then? Seriously? How could I possibly say stuff like that? He shook his head, trying to concentrate back on the work. Ah, why am I even thinking about Karin now? What's wrong with me these days? He slapped himself on the face, trying to stop thinking about it.
"Hey Yuzu, do you know any girls that close to Toushiro that are cute, pretty, nice and clever?" Karin asked Yuzu while helping her chopping the vegetables and placing them on a plate.
"Toushiro-kun? You're the closed female friend of his. And you're cute, pretty, nice and clever, Karin-chan." Yuzu smiled, she took the plate of vegetables and poured them into the frying pan.
"Apart from me, YUzu." Karin put the chopping board and the knife in the sink, rinsing them thoroughly under hot water with some dish washer.
"No one than." Yuzu thought for a while. She took out a plate from the cupboard under the stove and placing the food on the plates. "Why do you care about Toushiro-kun so much? Especially his female friends?" Yuzu looked at Karin with her sparkling eyes, expecting something from her.
"Because he says he likes someone." Karin spoke calmly, but at the bottom of her hear, she was frustrated and jealous of the girl whom he may like, but she never notices these feelings. "But he said he doesn't like anyone after. I think he was lying to me. So I just want to find out who it is." Karin tried to stretch out a smile but the red on her face blocked her from doing that.
"You sure Karin?" Yuzu asked. She took out some bowl from the cupboard as Karin grabbed some chopsticks and spoons.
Karin was silent. She didn't know. She had no idea at all.
She wanted to know, but she just cannot figure it out. Her conscience and mind keeps on blocking her to figure out those uneasy feels in her heart when Hitsugaya was sad or depressed.
She cannot stop thinking about him.
She just cannot stop.
So this is the end of Chapter 5!
I might update after a week or so for Chapter 6.
Again, I'm sorry for the lateness.
