Chapter 6: A Little Game Of Soccer

2 years later

Hitsugaya Toshiro sat at his desk, in his office at the 10th Division, once again… doing paperwork.

"Toshiro," came a winy voice of a child.

"Hah," Toshiro said, not once looking up at the figure of Karin sitting on the couch, or stopping his paperwork.

"I'm board…" Karin pouted.

"And what do you want me to do about it?"

"Can I go out and play?" she pleaded with sparkles in her eyes.

Toshiro sighed as he stopped his work and looked up to his childish partner, a look of annoyance on his face. "Fine," he huffed, "but don't cause trouble, okay Karin?" but she was already out the door, leaving a trail of dust behind in her wake.

Toshiro sighed and resumed his work.

"Readying yourself for more paperwork to come, Master?" Hyourinmaru asked from inside Toshiro's head.

"Aahh," was Toshiro's only reply before he looked all around the room (even checking behind him) and, upon seeing no one around, waved his hand and the paperwork began to write themselves and were all finish within 30 seconds.

Once they were all neatly stacked up together once again, Toshiro got up from his desk and, with a last inspection of his handy work, nodded with a smiled and left the room to go and fine Karin before she could do anymore damage.

"So this is where you all are," Toshiro calmly said as he rounded a corner, only to have his eyes widened at the seen before him. "KARIN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"

"Taicho!" Rangiku shouted as she saw her captain standing there with panic. "Um, this is. Um…" she looked between the seen next to her and her captain, who was making his way towards the little gathered group right now. "Well, bye!" Rangiku waved as she disappeared out of sight, not wanting to be stock with the paperwork again after having been locked up in that room all those years ago. Rangiku shuddered at the memories. Who knew her taicho was capable of doing such a thing. He must've been really desperate if he was willing to lock her up in a frozen room to finish the paperwork, with on sake to be found anywhere in there like that...

Toshiro paid no attention to Rangiku, or anyone else for that matter (besides his wife and son), what so ever as he was too focused on the position Sho and Karin were in.

"T-To-u-san ta-suke-te (save me). Tou-san!" came Sho voice as he reached out of Toshiro from his place under Karin's foot on his chest, pressing him to the ground.

Toshiro quickly swift down and got his son up and into his arms. Sho coughed a bit as he could finally breath easy again.

Toshiro looked sharply at Karin. "What were you doing Karin?" he asked. "Where you trying to kill him? He's only 5 for goodness sacks!"

Karin's answer was to hold out a lollipop at him. Toshiro, at first, looked confused as Sho tried to hide himself from his mother's ferry and from being found out. 'Crap,' Sho thought as he saw realization drowning onto his father's face.

"Sho!" Toshiro looked at his 5 year old, in the body of a 3-year-old boy's, son.

Sho shut his eyes tightly. "But Tou-san," he tried to argue.

"Tou-san?" Kentaro and Leo questioned.

Sho looked pleadingly towards Ukitake for help.

"Ah, about that," Ukitake interrupted. "As I was trying to tell Karin-chan just now, I gave Sho-kun the lollipop. So please don't be mad at him."

Karin and Toshiro looked at Sho.

"Is this true Sho?" Karin asked.

Sho nodded, looking like he was about to cry. "Tattey. You and Otou-san have always told me to be careful around strangers…" Sho whispered out.

Karin sighed and gave Sho back his lollipop. "Well, at lest you remembered…" she said.

Sho's face brightened as he reached for it, but Karin yanked it back, her eyes close.

"What do you say?" Karin asked.

"I'm sorry. May I please have my lollipop back now?" Sho said sweetly.

Karin opened her eyes and smiled as she handed Sho back his lollipop and messed with his hair as he eat it.

"Sho," Toshiro began, "did you say thank you to Ukitake-taicho?"

"Thank you Hii-jiichan (great grandpa)!" Sho said with a bright smile as Toshiro and Karin bowed to the older taicho.

Ukitake looked surprised before smiling at the boy. "You're welcome Sho-kun. I'm glade to have another whitty here…" he then looked down, sad as memories he's tried to forget came back to him.

Kyoraku put a hand on his friend's shoulder to comfort him and Ukitake smiled.

"Anyway Hitsugaya-taicho," Kyoraku said.

Toshiro turned his head towards the 8th Division taicho, no longer smiling.

Kyoraku smiled like a schoolgirl. "If I didn't know any better, I would've thought that Sho was yours' and Karin-chan's son, no?"

The three showed on reaction what so ever to Kyoraku's words. However, those around them on the other hand…

"Now that I think about it," Ryuji began. "Sho called Karin 'Kaa-san' and Hitsugaya-taicho 'Tou-san' and he came here looking for his shinigami parents too…"

Sho filched before looking up to Toshiro, whose face was still as black as usual. "He only calls us that because it's a shorter version of our names, since he's still too young to pronounced it all," Toshiro blankly explained without batting a eye.

"Yes," Kyoraku shyly agreed. "But with the way you're acting, it's almost as if you are a family."

"Oh please," Karin said pointedly. "If that was true, then won't we have been found out by now? I mean, won't people have noticed that I was pregnant?"

"Hum, you have a point there, Karin-chan," Kyoraku said, disappointed that it was not the case.

"Right, now can we play?" Karin asked as she took the soccer ball from Umi's hands.

"Of course, of course," Ukitake said. "By all means, go right ahead. And if you didn't mind, may we watch, Karin-chan?"

Karin smiled. "Of course Ukitake-taicho!"

"Oh, so he gets a taicho and I don't?" Kyoraku pouted. "That's just not fair Karin-chan…"

Karin smiled at him. "That's because you're a Big Perverted Jijji!"

Kyoraku was taken aback by that comment as he looked to Ukitake, who was also surprised to have heard that name being called once again after so long, buy a person who looks alike and has the same name too, no less. Then, the two went and sat down under a tree to watch, not noticing that Toshiro and Sho were watching them the whole time until Karin called them over.

"Toshiro, Sho!" Karin waved at them. "Come on, you're playing too!"

Toshiro looked over to her and the others out in the field. "Yeah, yeah," he said as he made his way over to them, Sho still in his arms and his eyes closed, "I'm coming woman, don't rush me."

Ukitake and Kyoraku watched from their place under the green tree as Karin and Toshiro formed teams.

"They're really alike, aren't they?" Ukitake asked.

"Yeah," Kyoraku agreed as they both watched Karin arguing with Toshiro. "I haven't been called by that name in a while. It sure does bring back memories…"

"Yes…Our Little Hime."

Kyoraku looked at Ukitake. "...Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"And that is?"

"That Sho really is Toshiro and Karin's child. That he really is your great grandson?"

Ukiatke smiled sadly. "… I don't even know if Toshiro really is my grandson though… Gin… That child, he never told me anything before he…died…" he looked up again, tears on his face as he tried to blink them away. "I never know what he's thinking anymore, that boy."

Kyoraku watched as his friend became sad. "Hey look," he sad, "they're starting."

Indeed they were. It was Toshiro's team ageist Karin's. Fire and Ice. Boys ageist girls (pulse Sho, who was on the girls team to make the teams even).

Karin's team starts off with the ball and Karin started off by kicking the ball, but was intercepted by Toshiro, who took the ball and went for the goal, passing it to Kentaro and Leo now and then just to mess with Karin's head as he smiled at her when he scored a goal by kicking the ball right over Sho's head. Karin cursed before starting off the ball once again, and again having it stolen by the smiling Toshiro, who passed it to Kentaro, who made a goal with it after Toshiro tricked Sho to turn his way.

"Sho!" Karin shouted at the boy.

"Sorry Kaa-san!" Sho yelled back. "Tou-san's a prodigy!"

Karin gritted her teeth and once again started the game, watching for Toshiro this time as she passed it to Ayaka, but Leo took the ball from her and kicked it right into the goal, missing Umi and Sho by mere inches.

Karin screamed in frustration as she looked back at the smiled Toshiro on the other side of the field with ferry in her eyes.

"That's it!" she said as she dropped the ball and kicked it with her powers, sending it flaming to the other side of the field and right into the goal since Ryuji had to doge it to avoid getting fried.

Toshiro, who had watched the flaming speed ball go pass him, looked towards Karin, who was smirking right back at him with her arms crossed over her chest.

"So that's how you want to play it hah," he said as he readied him. "Fine! Bring it on, Phoenix!"

"I will Dragon!"

The others watched as the sky around them turned dark as dark clouds loomed over head. It was a dark day...

Sho filched backwards. "Oh no. Not again," he whimpered.

"Oh dear," Ukitake said as he looked up towards the black sky.

"Oh my," Kyoraku said as he watched the two Heavenly beings going ageist each other.

Toshiro throw the ball upwards as he jumped up and kicked the ball, sending it flying towards Karin's goal.

All Karin and the others could do was watch as the ball made it's way towards Sho, freezing everything in its wake.

"Sho!" Karin shouted towards him.

Sho's eyes were wide opened as he quickly put his two hands in front of him and tried to stop the ice-cold ball filled with his father's powers from going into the goal. As the ball made contact with his hands, Sho closed one of his eyes as he tried to hold it back, but to no availed as it was too much for him and Sho collapsed to the ground, letting the ball go into the goal.

Toshiro smiled at his victory as he made his way towards Sho to see how he was doing.

"Sho!" Karin ran up to him and held his tried and cold body in her arms, worried. "Are you alright?" she looked him over.

"Sho-kun/Sho!" came the others voices as they all rushed towards Sho's fallen form to see how he was doing, only to find that he was doing fine. No injuries or bruises what so ever. He was just cold and tried.

"Good job Sho," came Toshiro's calm and happy voice as he loomed over them, a smile on his face.

Sho smiled. "Tou-san," he said. "Did I do well?"

Toshiro smiled and nodded. "Your father would be proud to know that you've awakened you're zanpakuto so soon. Now sleep, my boy. You've earned it." Toshiro bent down and covered Sho's eyes, letting him sleep.

Karin smiled at his sleeping form. "It's an ice-snow type," she said as she looked to Sho's zanpakuto lying next to him, in a sky blue slash.

"Hah," Toshiro agreed. "Better take him to his room now. This is enough for one day." Toshiro looked at the field. 'Oh, the paperwork,' he thought with dread in both his eyes and his voice.

"I'll help you, Toshiro," Karin said as she got up with Sho in her arms. "Can someone take him to his room?"

"I will," Kentaro raised his arms and took Sho from Karin's arms. "I'm his roommate anyways."

"Thanks," Karin said with a warm smiled as she handed Sho over to him.

Kentaro nodded before he, Ryuji and Umi bowed and left them.

Karin turned towards Toshiro, who was still looking that field. Toshiro then turned his head towards Karin and walked over to her, Ukitake and Kyoraku.

Karin closed her eyes as she held up her figures. "3, 2, 1…" she counted down to zero.

Right on cue, some shiniagmis appeared at the scene of crime.

"Karin, Toshiro?" Ichigo said. "What happened here?" he gestured towards the ice covered field.

"Oh nothing much, Ichigo-san," Ukitake smiled at the orange haired boy.

"Just a friendly game of soccer is all," Kyoraku finished.

"Ukitake-taicho? Kyoraku-taicho?" came Rukia's shock voice. "You guys are here too?"

"Yes," Kyoraku said. "And we got to see something intresting too. Now if you don't mind. I'm going for some sake with Rangiku-chan." And he disappeared.

"And I need to go see Isshin and Unohana-san," Ukiate said as he began to walked away.

"I'll come with you," Rukia said as she cought up with him and they both walked to the 4th Division to see Unohana first.

"Tesk. And I thought there was an interesting fight going on," Kenpachi said. "Come on Yachiru, we're going." And he leaped away.

"Well, since there's no fight, we're leave as well," Yamichika said and he and Ikkaku left to follow their taicho back.

"A game of soccer, Karin?" Tatsuki asked. "Why didn't you invite me?"

Karin shrugged. "You seemed busy with Renji over there behind that tree and I didn't want to disturb you, so I left," Karin replied.

Tatsuki and Renji blushed red as they moved away from each other.

"What are you two doing here together?" Ichigo began his interrogations.

Karin sighed. "I was board, so I decided to gather my friends and play a game of good old soccer," Karin replied as she walked pass her brother, Toshiro right beside her. "Now if you'll excuse me, Toshiro and I have some paperwork to finish."

"Wait, Hitsugaya-taicho!" Renji called after them.

Toshiro and Karin stopped their walk and looked back at the red haired vise captain.

"What about the field?"

Toshiro looked pass him and towards the field. "I'll disappeare soon enough. School's already over for the weekend anyways so just send the paperwork to me..." he replied as he turned back and continued walking away with Karin. "-sigh- The things I do for you, Karin..." he's tired gazed went to Karin as she giggled at him.

"Now, now Ichigo," Tatsuki patted his back. "Calm down."

"Yeah, Taicho," Ayaka agreed. "If it's anyone you need to be worried about, is Yuzu-chan."

Ichigo looked at his 7th seat. "What do you mean?" he asked, confused.

Ayaka's eyes widened at what she'd just done.

"You mean Karin hasn't told you yet?" Leo questioned. Ayaka tagged on his sleeves to get him to stop.

"Tell me? About what?"

"About Yuzu and Hanataro of couse!" Leo yelled out. "Opps. You worn't supossed to know that. Don't say you heard it form me!" He waved and disappeared to catch up with Ayaka.

"WHAT!" Ichigo screamed bloody murder as he stomped towards the 4th Division's medical wing to see that loosely 7th seat who's been sneaking around with his baby sister. And to think, his other sister was also trying to cover this up too. His father's probably in on this two. Oh why does his family do this to him? Don't they know that he was only doing this for their safely. Boys are bad and dangerous, but shinigami boys are 10 times worse!

"WHAT!"

"...Seems like that secret is out," Toshiro whispered to Karin as they walked along the road of Seireitei.

"Yep," Karin agreed. "Damn that Leo. I told him to keep his mouth shut." She closed her eyes and sighed. "If he's like this now, wonder what will happen when he finds out..." she trailed off as she looked at Toshiro, who's head was down as he stared down at the floor.

"Shiro-chan, there you are," came Mono's voice as she came up to them.

Toshiro looked up. "Hinamori," he said to the woman in front of him. "...It's Hitsuyaga-taicho to you."

"Hai, hai." she ruffled his hair.

A tick mark appeared on Toshiro's forehead as he removed her hand from his head. "What do you want? I'm in a hurry to see the So-taicho right now."

"Oh, is that so. Will I was just wondering if you'd like to.. spend time... together, is all." Momo blushed.

Toshiro looked at her for a moment before sighing. "Sorry, I'm busy. Come on Karin." Toshiro took Karin's hand and began to drag her off towards the 1st Division to see the So-taicho.

"Oh, okay," Momo turned around to them leaving and looked down, her eyes sad. "I have watermelon and thought that maybe... we could eat them together again like old times..." she turned and walked away.

Karin watched as Momo turned and left. "You didn't have to be so cold, Toshiro," she looked at Toshiro sharply.

Toshiro stopped walking and sighed up into the darkening sky, his hold on Karin's arm still strong. Toshiro then turned back towards Karin, his eyes full of sadness as he looked at her.

"I'm sorry," he said as he hugged her. "But I just don't what to loss you like that ever again. I don't think I can life with it anymore. without you in my life, it's just meaningless. And I mean it. without you, I'll die weather I want to or not."

Karin chuckled and hugged him back after a moment. "...You won't loss me. I'm still here, you idiot Snowflake. We're connected, remember? And I'm fine."

Toshiro smiled. "Yeah, I know." He moved away to look at Karin in the eye. "I'll defiantly fine the cure for you and heal you back up again, Karin. I'll protect you, no matter what. I swear it."

"...Toshiro."

The two stared at each other and Toshiro leaned in and kissed Karin on the lips as the sun went down and day turned into night.
