Greetings you earthlings! I'm sooo sorry for taking so long but this chapter was a pain to write! I'm not happy about it but what can I do...? I'm not going to be able to update for at least two weeks 'cause I'm having way too much exams at school... Ugh! -.-

But here is some news of the story! I didn't name or describe Ichigo's girlfriend because people like different pairings... So you can put whoever you want with him...

And now that we are on the news I announce that I have started an Ichiruki story... its AU so if you are interested go check it out!

Forgive me my spelling and grammar and this rambling!

Enjoy!

Give me two Weeks

Chapter 8: Friday – Don't slow This down

"Is it true onii-chan?" Yuzu asked her orange haired big brother at the breakfast table.

"Old man was quick wasn't he…" he mumbled under his breath but nodded his head to confirm the gossip.

Karin almost choked at her juice and was clearly stunned: "Someone actually is stupid enough to date you?" Her brother decided not to answer.

"Is she pretty?" Yuzu was eager to know about her new nee-san.

"Very" Ichigo said, a soft smile replacing his usual scowl for a short moment.

"What's her name?" The younger twin asked. Before the strawberry could answer Isshin bounced to the room. His face was beaming happily.' Way too happily' Karin decided.

"My future son-in-law is at the door asking for you my lovely daughter" He was standing in the door way his arms wide open expecting a hug.

"Jinta?" Yuzu rose from her chair and was ready to walk to the front door fearing what her brother might do to the read head if he could reach the door before her.

"I didn't mean you Yuzu but Karin!"

"Toushiro?" It was Karin's time to rise her butt off the chair.

Her brother was so stunned by the news of his tomboy sister having a boyfriend that he just stared between her and their father. Karin shrugged at him and went to the door. There she was met with the boy who occupied her thoughts and the girl who made the hairs stand in the back of Karin's neck.

"Hello Kurosaki-san" Momo said with a bright smile:"I was wondering if you could accompany us to the station so I could get to know you better..?" She continued little nervous.

Karin didn't hesitate to go with them. She thought that it was a good way to see if there was anything going on between the two. Not that she cared…

But to Karin's surprise Toushiro slowed his pace so she was left with the bubbly girl. Karin was amazed by how much Momo reminded her of Yuzu and even more amazing was that she could actually like the older girl.

But still, when Momo got to the train Karin noticed how a wave of relief swept over her. She heard Toushiro sigh tiredly and thought he already missed his friend.

"She was a nice girl…" She said, awkward for her accusations about them.

"Yeah… She is great to hang around" Toushiro didn't want to end up talking about yesterday either and continued quickly:"But only in small portions, after a few days you start to lose your sanity."

Karin smiled at that. She could believe it, the girl was similar to that other woman, Rangiku and Karin thought how many more weird people surrounded Toushiro. And then it hit her; she actually didn't know anything about Toushiro except the little information he had given her about his family! She needed to make him talk about his life, but how. A beeping noise woke Karin from her daydreaming and she looked at Toushiro, who suddenly had pink cheeks, with cell phone in his hands. Curious Karin asked:" What is it?"

"Nothing, Momo is just being stupid, that's all" Karin nodded at his answer and didn't ask anything. The silence around them was unbearable and awkward.

"Umm..." Karin started:"Maybe we should get out of here. I mean we've been standing here like idiots for who knows how long"

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

"I didn't know you had a phone" Karin stated. They were walking along the riverbank.

"I suppose you didn't"

"What kind of answer is that?" Karin asked annoyed.

"I don't know… What was I supposed to say?" Toushiro stopped and picked a small rock on the ground. Karin shrugged unable to answer.

"Guess what, you are going to give me your number" she watched how the rock he threw jumped above the water until it sank.

"Sure, I'll give it to you when we get to your house" he said his voice unsure.

"Well let's head there right now"

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

When they entered the house they were met by scowling Ichigo. The orange haired young man didn't like the idea of his little sisters dating.

"Uh… Hi Ichi-nii" Karin give him a smile. She didn't like her brother's look at all but she would still have to introduce Toushiro to him.

"Ichi-nii this is my friend To – "

"Sorty?" Ichigo had noticed the white haired boy and was as shocked to see him as the said boy was to meet him.

"I'm not short Kurosaki!" Was Toushiro's immediate answer.

"Yeah sure you're not, Toushiro" Ichigo loved to annoy the young boy but despite that they were somewhat good friends.

"It's Hitsugaya to you" Toushiro scoffed.

"Yeah, yeah…whatever midget"

"You two know each other?" Karin had watched the exchange between the guys amused but she wanted to know how her brother knew her friend.

"Yeah, this little brat sometimes comes to the same lectures I go" Ichigo said looking how Karin's face changed from amusement to amazement. She turned towards Toushiro: "You go to college?"

"No… It just sometimes gets boring at school so I ditch and go learn something more useful…" You could see how uncomfortable the topic was for him.

"Cool" But Karin didn't seem to notice.

"Yeah, he's a real prodigy" Ichigo said smirking for both of them. He could give his blessing to Toushiro, the kid was alright.

They all turned to Yuzu who had entered the scene from the kitchen.

"Will you Hitsuyaga-kun stay for dinner?" She asked sweetly.

"No thanks, I think I need to get home" He said his goodbyes and left.

After his leave Yuzu grabbed Karin and dragged her to kitchen.

"Well, did you ask him?" She was eager to know how her sister had succeeded.

"Shit! I forgot" Karin took a quick leave and hurried after Toushiro.

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

"Wait, Toushiro!" She had almost caught up with him.

"I…forgot...to ask..."She tried to even her breath:" I forgot to ask if you would like to come with us to this private beach? We are celebrating our victory…"

"Sure… When?"

"We will spend there three nights and the leave is tomorrow morning. Just come to my house before eight" Toushiro nodded and they parted to their own ways both excited about the trip.

While closing the front door Karin remembered that Toushiro hadn't given her his number. 'Shit! Well there is always tomorrow…' She would ask then Karin decided.

Toushiro on the other hand was glad and at the same time sad that she had forgotten. He knows he has to leave when the summer-break ends and he most probably will never come back to Karakura. There it was again, the extra thump his heart makes at the thought of leaving. He didn't know why it would beat like that. He wondered if it was a sign of a coming heart attack.

Guess what was in the text message! x))
