Sooo sorry for the long wait (!) but we have been moving for the past month (how can it take that long I have no idea -.-') to a smaller apartment... So without a further ado here's chapter 7!

Sorry for all the spelling and grammar mistakes but I really don't trust my spell checker...

Chapter 7: Thursday – Everyone and No one

"Wake up, Shiro-chan~. Its morning" Toushiro slowly opened his right eye to look at his waaay-too-bright-in-the-mornings childhood friend. Even though the 19-years-old girl was four years older than Toushiro she acted as a nine year old most of the time.

"Ugh…" Toushiro answered groggily, "what time it is?"

"About eight… I'm so excited!" She was jumping in his bed making sure to wake him up, "let's go to town!"

"Okay, but I have to be at the soccer field at ten"

"Oooh! Are you having a date with the girl from yesterday?" Momo was imagining all kinds of things that could happen between her friend and the black haired girl. She blushed over scenarios her brains came up with.

"Not exactly… She's one of the players so I promised to go see her game… And why are you blushing?" Toushiro wasn't sure if it was a date or not. If he just went to see the game it definitely wasn't but if they would hang out after the match…well it was a totally different matter!

Toushiro got up from his bed and after dressing up the two went down stairs to get breakfast.

:.o.O.o.O.o.:

'He still isn't here…' Karin watched as the bleachers filled with families and friends, but to her disappointment she didn't saw Toushiro's mop of white hair anywhere. 'Maybe he's just late…' Karin waved at her sister and ignored her father, who was as enthusiastic as ever.

Karin turned to her team.

"Alright guys, we can do this, we can win them!" She heard the whistle for the game to start. She looked at the others and raised her hand up: "Let's go!"

:.o.O.o.O.o.:

Toushiro was annoyed…and hungry. They had been in the mall for hours! And it looked like Momo was not going to stop shopping anytime soon. 'I swear she's worse than Matsumoto!'

"Are you done yet?" He asked once Momo came out of a small shoe store.

"Well I still got some shops that I would like to go to and besides we are having so much fun!"

"We were having fun but after the tenth shop it stopped being fun"

"How about I buy you a lunch? Will it ease your suffering a little?" Momo was having the time of her life.

"It's already time for lunch? Oh how fast – Time! What time it is?" Both Momo and Toushiro took out their cell phones to look at the time.

"Almost twelve…" Toushiro felt a wave of panic and anger rise towards himself for forgetting Karin: "damn it!"

"I'm sorry Hitsugaya-kun, this is my fault…" Momo felt a pang of gilt hitting her after realizing that she had kept Hitsugaya all to herself.

"Maybe the mach isn't over yet so we should head there…" she was trying to be optimistic and make her friend feel better.

He just shook his head disappointed and told Momo to follow him back to the orphanage.

:.o.O.o.O.o.:

'He didn't come after all…' Karin kept the victorious smile on her face and congratulated her teammates despite the heavy feelings of anger and disappointment.

"Karin-chan!" Yuzu came running from the bleachers, "we have to hurry! Onii-chan's train will arrive in any minute now"

"Okay" Karin seemed to brighten after remembering her brother's return:"but are we sure we want to let goat-chin to such a public place?" Karin eyed her father who was currently jumping up and down with pompoms in his hands. Karin slapped her hand to her forehead when Isshin fell face first to the grass.

"I think it should be alright…he has strained most of his energy here…" Yuzu just shook her head at her fathers' antics.

:.o.O.o.O.o.:

"Toushiro-san, we are out of milk and it's your turn to do the shopping so if you could…" How could he say no to a sick, old man? Toushiro was walking down the street towards Urahara Shop. He heard someone walk towards him and suddenly stop. He lifted his head and came face to face with none other than Kurosaki Karin. She was carrying a bag full of groceries.

"Hi" Toushiro decided to be the first to talk.

"Why didn't you come to the game?" Karin asked bluntly.

So Toushiro decided to be blunt too: "I was with Momo the whole day so I guess I just forgot you. I'm really sorry"

"You just forgot me?" Karin couldn't believe her ears.

"Karin that's not what I meant! You have to understand –"

"Of course I understand! I'm sorry that I overreacted. I thought too much of myself but apparently I'm just as easy to abandon as a box full of unwanted puppies!"

"But Karin I'm –"

"Shut up! I'm not interested to hear your reasons! Just have a happy summer with your girlfriend!" She turned to walk away leaving stunned Toushiro behind. 'Girlfriend!' The word seemed to echo inside Toushro's head.

"Oh, and by the way dumbass, we won!" Karin yelled continuing her march far away from Toushiro.

Karin huffed to herself as she walked away from Toushiro. Even thought her anger was gone after her ranting the disappointment was still stuck to the bottom of her stomach. Karin understood that the girlfriend was more important to Toushiro than she would ever be but somehow it felt so… Karin couldn't even describe it any more as the emotions grew stronger and stronger like a rolling snowball. All Karin could say was that it was different – no, it was the same feeling that made her heart thump painfully after she found out about Hianamori Momo just a lot more worse. Karin didn't understand what was wrong with her or why her heart hurt so, so much she was sure it was going to explode.

Suddenly there was a sound of something ripping and Karin stood dumbfounded on the sidewalk watching as the groceries fell out of the bag. She started to pick them cussing the bag, Toushiro, the need of food and life overall. She blinked a couple of times when Toushiro hand offered her a new bag. She took it without thanks and started picking the groceries again.

"You don't have to help me" Karin said when Toushiro started to pick the apples.

"I want to" he said and looked at her strait in the eye. Karin just nodded.

"But isn't your girlfriend waiting for you?" Toushiro didn't say anything or even look at her; he just kept picking the food and place them in the bag.

When they were done Toushiro gave the bag to Karin and said in a cold tone: "She isn't my girlfriend"

Karin flinched visibly by his tone and watched his back move further away from her. She decided to swallow her pride and forgive him right then and there because she really didn't want to lose him.

"You know a gentleman would have offered to carry the back and walk me home!" She yelled after him.

"I'll do that next time; I'm in a hurry 'cause my girl friend is waiting for me!" He waved his injured hand without turning to look at her but she could hear the smirk in his voice.

"Then that's a promise!" She was smirking too, the snowball melting into a puddle of cold water.
