Chapter 9: Saturday – Dreadful Drool

Karin was sure she had forgotten something when she closed the front door behind her and Yuzu. She was carrying her green and Yuzu's bright yellow bags.

"What do you have in here, stones?" Karin asked her twin as she dragged the heavy bag to the sidewalk.

"This and that…" Yuzu answered vaguely. She dusted her flower-printed white sun-dress. Yuzu always gave off the aura of a princess with her curly, light brown hair and big, beautiful, hazel eyes. Why did she have to fall in love with someone like Jinta? 'Speak of the devil, here he comes.' Jinta walked up to them with his big sister Ururu. Karin handed Yuzu's bag for Jinta.

"As Yuzu's boyfriend you should carry her bag, right?" Karin's evil smile vanished as Jinta grabbed both of their bags effortlessly. 'Ass!' Karin wanted to punch the read head. Why couldn't she keep up with Jinta? At some point in middle school Jinta had caught up with her in height and strength and from there on he had kept going while Karin seemed to move slower and slower. At least she knew he would be able to protect Yuzu and Karin could live with that.

They were waiting for Toushiro to show up and for some reason Karin became conscious of her army-printed shorts she had stolen, correction: borrowed from Ichigo and how they were hanging loosely on her hips with the belt and the other green suspender while standing next to beautiful Ururu and her navy blue skirt that showed the girl's long legs. When they saw Toushiro's figure approaching Karin tried to smooth her uncombed short hair without being too suspicious but Yuzu watched her every movement amused. It wasn't everyday that her tomboy twin fell in love with someone. Her smile grew even wider as Karin snatched her bag from Jinta covering her dirty sneakers with it. Seeing the bus coming Karin bent to lift her bag just to notice Toushiro already carrying it. As they climbed to the bus Yuzu was sure on one thing: 'The countdown has begun.'

"Who's that?" Jinta asked waking Yuzu from her thoughts.

"He's Karin's friend, Hitsugaya-kun" Yuzu said but her boyfriend just couldn't get her hint.

.o.O.o.O.o.

The bus had been driving for hour and a half already and the five teens were sitting in the back of the bus. The few other passengers were in the front saving their ears from the loud group.

"So you fell on him breaking his arm?" Jinta burst out laughing:"I can just imagine!"

"Shut up!" Karin was embarrassed. She wanted to hit her future brother-in-law but didn't dare in front of Yuzu:"First of all it was his fault for kicking it into the tree and secondly it was a sprain! If I had broken the damn arm do you think he would only be wearing bandage? Idiot!"

"What do you mean it was my fault? You challenged me and I told you not to fall" Toushiro said coolly.

"Don't fall? You know I hadn't thought of that before, prodigy" Karin smirked. She liked, for some reason, tease and annoy the boy. The feeling she got around him was something different. Something she was sure wasn't there when she hung out with her friends. She liked the warm and fuzzy feeling, it was addicting. To Karin Toushiro was like a pure heroin to a narcotic and she dreaded the approaching autumn. Well there was still time for them to… 'To what?' Karin couldn't answer herself. She felt frustrated with all these new feelings swirling within her but still in the back of her mind there was a small amount of fear. What did she fear? She sighed turning her head to stare out at the window.

.o.O.o.O.o.

Karin was leaning on his shoulder sound asleep just like the other three. He kept looking at her face and how the shadows danced across it. Toushiro's eyes focused on her lips as she let out a small sigh. They looked soft to the touch. He couldn't tear his eyes away.

The bus came to a halt and Yuzu stirred from her dream. They had arrived to their destination. She shook Jinta and Ururu awake and turned to do the same to her sister and Hitsugaya-kun. To Yuzu's surprise the boy was looking at her twin in trance.

"Hitsugaya-kun, we're here" she said touching his shoulder. Startled he turned to look at her: "Wake Karin and come after us" she continued and Toushiro nodded.

"Karin, hey, wake up…" he poked her cheek but there was no reaction.

"Wake up!" He shook her and this time she reluctantly opened her eyes.

"What are you shouting for?"

"We're here. The others left already…and wipe that drool off your face" Toushiro smirked as the girl automatically lifted her hand to her face only to find she had been tricked.

"Ha ha" she replied dryly.

Karin stood up from her seat and starched letting out a yawn. They took their backs and left the bus.

.o.O.o.O.o.

As they arrived to the wooden cabin the others were already waiting at the terrace that covered the house's front. Toushiro and Karin greeted the others and went inside to unpack their luggage. Wide two-story windows on the front let the sun shine in as the pair climbed upstairs to a loft full of futons. Were they going to sleep all together? Was Karin going to be sleeping with him in the same room, next to his futon? That tough made Toushiro nervous and his palms sweaty for some unknown reason. He turned to Karin and almost chocked on his spit. Karin was changing her baggy t-shirt and stood in front of Toushiro only in her black sport bra.

"What are you looking at?" Toushiro hadn't even realized that he was staring until Karin spoke.

"Nothing...just never really thought that you would need something like that" he pointed at her bra. Why? Why did he have to say something so stupid? Toushiro cursed himself as Karin's face turned red, from anger or embarrassment he didn't know.

"You're so dead!" Karin pushed him down to the futon and tried to lock his hands behind his back. Toushiro didn't like to be dominated and he was obviously stronger that Karin so with ease he changed their position and now Toushiro were on top of the girl holding her hands down. She was glaring at him.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it" he apologized.

"Ar-are they really, that small?" Karin asked innocently. Toushiro glanced down at her bosom and blushed as he realized what he just did.

"No, they aren't… I mean they are...umm" he didn't know what to say! He heard Karin stifling a laugh under him and his own pathetic stutter made him annoyed even more.

"Shut up" he said looking at her in the eye. Karin quieted down and Toushiro could feel her breath brush his face. He could feel his heart beating in his ribcage as if wanting to be heard. Did Karin have these kinds of odd rhythm changes as he did? Did she also feel these shivers run up and down her back every time they touched? Was it only him? The thought of him being the only one feeling these strange things made his heart ache and the shivers turned cold and unpleasant. What was the meaning of this?

He studied her face. 'I wonder if her lips are as soft as they look…' Toshiro lowered himself and tilted his head a little as Karin closed her eyes. He could feel her body radiating heat through his clothes. His lips brushed hers and…

"Karin-chan! Hitsugaya-kun! What's taking so long?" Yuzu's voice reached to the couple and made both of them jump and blush furiously. Karin could hear her voice, a little high from excitement, yell:"Well be there in a minute we're still unpacking our stuff…"

They heard an okay and after the sound of the closing door was heard they let out a relieved sigh. They were still in their position and the awkwardness between them was paralyzing. Toushiro quickly stood up and Karin rose to sit on the floor.

"Umm… I'll – I'll go down first…" Toushiro rubbed his neck clearly uncomfortable.

"Yeah..." Karin said her eyes bouncing across the room too embarrassed to look at him.

As Toushiro walked down he thought what would have happened if Yuzu hadn't interrupted. They would've… 'I would've kissed her' He brushed his hand through his white locks as he arrived to the terrace. He knew that there was no turning back anymore. He liked her it was as simple as that and yet so much more complicated.
