Chapter 2: Just Talk To Him
"Karin-chan! Come over here!" Momo called, tow tables down from where karin was sitting.
I turned my head around hesitantly and saw Momo with a genuine smile on her face. "Hi Momo." I said trying not to act fazed by the fact I was about to confront Toshiro. Oh what the hell... he can't fucking control me.
"Come here." Momo said to her friend happy she got her attention finally.
Rangiku said silently without turning around, "Yeah just go up and say hi. Just talk to him." I could tell she was trying to hold in a laugh. Note to self: Kill Rangiku...
"Him? I'm going to talk to Momo." I said to the buxum ginger as i got up.
"You act like if neither of will say something" she said with an annoying giggle as I walked towards the table of three.
I arrived at the table and said hi as she introduced me to her friends.
"Karin, this is Renji Abrai..." she said gesturing towards the crimson haired guy. I couldn't help but notice the tattoos that ran across his forehead and seemed to continue on, I guessed. At first I felt slightly intimidated but then I remembered what she told me about him, and I felt my confidence come back once again. So I just smiled and said "hey"
"Hey" Renji said nodding with a grin. Karin could tell he was a cool guy, like how Momo described him. 'Renji just looks scary, he actually a nice guy' She had said.
"This is Yumichika Ayasegawa..." she said. He looked at her up and down and didn't say anything but a mere hmp. He's going to piss me off eventually... he's a pretty boy, i think he might actually be gay but Karin just shurgged and looked to the next guy.
"This is Ikkaku Madarame..." It was baldy. I looked at his bald head, not noticing that I was staring, until eventually I saw a tick mark appear on his head. I looked at him back, not afraid of him. He simply huffed, but i looked away frist. A fist fight with a guy for no reason on the first day of school wasn't the best way to start out the year... 'thats more a 3rd day thing' I joked in my head. He seemed like someone who'd love to pick a fight with any one for any reason... and win...
"And this is Toshiro Hitsugaya" she said. I suppressed rolling my eyes as he opened his mouth to say something.
"We've met..." he said coldly, and I glared at him. He mimicked my glare and we stayed there seeing which of us would back down. OK i take back the fight on the firs day of school thing... I took this time to look in his crystal teal eyes. I could see anger in them, yeah that was apparent. But I kept on looking and I could see worry, fear and sadness only given by year of pain and struggle. What could he have seen? What could make him so cold like this? I began to wonder but I kept my glare at him.
Suddenly I could see images flashing before my eyes. They weren't clear and on pieces. Flashing in and out of visibility and focus. I could make out a girl. He hair was dark and she was crying and a boy there, but before I could get any better look at him it blurred...
Momo spoke and it broke my concentration, I almost missed that Toshiro was partly in shock and seemed to come back to reality as well, almost. Momo spoke again.
"Karin-chan? Snap out of it, helloooo?" She waved a hand in my face which made me remember the situation i was in.
"Um, yeah." I said a bit more shakily than i wanted to. I looked over to Toshiro and noticed he'd got his composure back, I attempted to get my confidence back.
"Shiro-chan, she's your friend?" Momo asked the white haired boy. There was something in her voice that had a bit of worry but something else.
"We have a lot of classes together." I said, before him. I could tell she was a good person, and didn't want to ruin that. Momo was important for some reason i didn't know. She seemed like someone I could be close with, eveb deal with Toshiro "Right?" but I couldn't restrain myself for long.. What? I'm human... "Shiro-chan?" I smiled to Toshiro
He could see I wanted to stay Momo's friend, but sneered "Sure" I could see the tick mark on his head. I held back a laugh that I was getting to him... aha sweet victory.
"Anyway, Momo can I see your schedule?" I said completely ignoring him, adding even more smaller tick marks on his head. "So I can see if we have any other classes together." I asked, still ignoring the glares I got from Toshiro. Hoping to put this behind her I guess she handed me her schedule. "Look! We have Mathematics and Social Studies together" I said with a smile. "That's great! I hear that ShihÅin Sensei (A/N: Remember this) is pretty tough but still cool..." Our conversation held on for a while and I could feel Toshiro's eyes still on me. I could also see the other guys in the table looking between Toshiro and me like if he never acted like this, which made it even better. I swear the room must have gotten colder... i even shivered. But i was distracted by his glares. They were annoying so I couldn't help but confront him, he was pissing me off for some reason.
"What's your prob-?" I was interrupted by my sister putting her hand on my shoulder holding me back. Yuzu was one of the few people who could calm me down, it's like she doesn't know the effect she has on me or anyone she meets.
"Karin, who are your friends?" she asked politely. "Oh, Yuzu," I said calming down "This is my friend Momo Hinamori" I said gesturing towards Momo, who smiled in return.
"Hi" Momo said "Um, are you one of Karin's friends?" Momo asked with a smile.
"No," Yuzu smiled "We're twins"
Soon the whole table was quiet, or just more attentive. Yuzu and I were nothing alike, of course. Her blond hair, my raven hair, her golden eyes, my dark plum ones... Even Toshiro even seemed to be surprised. Suddenly everyone snapped out of it as the bell rang signaling kids that lunch period was over. "Oh! Karin I guess I'll see you at Social Studies." Yuzu said. She turned to Toshiro and Renji "What class do you have next?" she asked "Literature" Renji said looking to Toshiro, like he was teasing him. I think I'll learn to like Renji... Karin thought as Toshiro gave Renji a glare that said 'Shut-the-fuck-up-or-i'll-kill-you'
"Oh! Looks like I have you guys next then," I said with a smirk as I began to walk away."Bye, Momo, Renji."
"Bye, Momo, I have you for social studies too so I'll see you then!" Yuzu said as she caught up with me. She started laughing.
"Whats so funny?" i asked looking at her like she grew an extra head.
"Your little boyfriend, Toshiro." she giggled.
I tried to hold down a blush. "He is not my boyfriend!" I said as i turned to go into class.
*-*-*-*-*Toshiro's POV*-*-*-*-*
"Bye, Momo-san, I have you for social studies too so I'll see you then!" Yuzu said tagging along behind her twin sister. That blonde can't be her twin sister... I thought. Soon I heard Renji chuckle "What?" I asked him as we started to walk to our next class.
"Your little girlfriend" he kept on chuckling as I suppressed the blood going to my face to make a blush, "She's not my girlfriend." I said as evenly as possible. I saw Momo look toward the floor that how I knew she was thinking hard. "Momo?" I must have broken her concentration because she seemed like she didn't even know she had left the cafeteria. She's been zoned off a lot lately
"Huh?" she said seeming a bit lost. I smiled a little, at her remembering before... it left as soon as it came. I never really smiled, I just stopped, right after my parents died. All that blood... the chilling- stop... not here, it's in the past, leave it there. Momo had always been one to make me smile, and I love her like a sister. No, she is my sister. "Are you okay? You seem.. off."
"Oh, I'm sorry" she said with a small smile. "I'll see you after school" she said as she turned into her class and greeted her friend, Aeizen. There was something about that guy I just didn't like, but Momo insisted he was a nice person. Either way, I still don't trust him. She was thinking about telling him... either if he knows or not I'll freeze his ass if he ever hurts her.
I kept on walking until Renji broke the silence "Seriously. She looked like that girl you always paint, except you know without the kimono." he smiled, a tick mark appeared on my head. I had a dream about her... more like someone who looked like her... and i always painted her. Note to self: Make sure to lock room... and Kill Renji.
"Why do you look through my stuff?" I said frustrated.
"It's interesting... but that's beside the point." he said with a smirk. I simply pushed him in our class. "Eh, your just grumpy 'cause I'm right, shorty." he said ruffling my white hair making another tick mark appear on my head.
"I'm just not freakishly tall like some people" I said through gritted teeth. He simply chuckled and hurried to a seat in the back. I walked behind him, eager to go to sleep and noticed who he decided to sit by. Damn it RenjiI told him.
I was so glad only we could hear our thoughts when we wanted too, and not out own personal ones.
You know you want to sit next to her. Renji thought back
We don't have time to be falling in love. Ikkaku said the word love like if he was kinda disgusted.
Aw well I think it's kinda cute. Momo added
I have no idea why you'd pick her there are so many more beautiful women here who would love you. Yumichika added with a chuckle
I do not and shouldn't you guys be at least pretending to pay attention?
It went quiet after that. We always slept through class or just sat there, it's been the same history for the past 250 years, besides a few things that were added. Hell there were a few things we knew that the governments hadn't even discovered yet. Ourselves for example...
Next to Yuzu, who was sitting in front of her twin, was Renji. I glared at my firehead friend, he simply smiled and gestured towards the empty seat, right nest to Karin. Damn. I looked around and saw all the kids claimed a seat, I was screwed basically.
I sat down ignoring her glare, and cursing renji in my head. Yuzu had begin conversation with renji asking him about his tattoos. Karin just sat there. It was like renji said she looked exactly like the woman from my dreams. The same long raven hair, slender figure, fiery attitude, same confidence that seemed to make me want to challenge her and maybe just bug the hell outta her for no good reason. For some reason i just wanted to stick my tounge out at her or something... I'm not a child dammit! I'm over 150 years old. I'm not go-
"What are you looking at Shiro-chan?" I hadn't noticed I was staring while i was thinking and I pretended like I didn't notice the use of my old nickname. I simply turned around and faced the board, that seemed to make her more irritated and me more amused. "Hey! Don't ignor-"
"Settle down class... Miss Kurosaki." the teacher said looking at the raven haired tomboy. She cooled down and turned her attention toward the board.
The teacher began her lecture about expectations for the year, rules of the class, etc... so I put my head down, and closed my eyes while my thoughts began to wonder, of course they went to her and what happened at lunch.
What happened then? I was looking in her large onyx eyes. They showed anger, yup, anger. Then I saw determination, sadness, hurt then I just started seeing images, The ones I could make out are still pretty much burned in my head now. 3 kids and a man... at a river. I've seen that river before, I know I have. The man was tall, 2 little girls... raven hair and light brown hair was all could see. And the one that stood out the most, Orange spiky hair, I couldn't see their faces they were facing the river with their back towards me, they were looking down. And now that I think about it, there was someone else there, on the ground. And then what broke my thoughts... screaming. The brown haired girl, she was screaming and crying. The sound was all to familiar and I looked away from Kairn' s eyes.
I Felt like I was just dropped back in my body, and reality hit me with a cold smack, I noticed Karin seemed that way and it wasn't just me... what could she have seen? What could have made her this way?
I guess i wouldn't call them visions but something like if it's happened in the past, i think that happened for real... Suddenly my seat was burning making me jump and hacing to hold back a yelp... yes a yelp (Toshiro's facial expression= -_-") i looked toward Renji knowing it was him.
What the fuck? I asked him pissed he burned my METAL seat
I don't know i was bored and you were sleeping he said trying to hold in a laugh
Ha Ha real funny. Your on guard tonight. i told him.. Momo needed a break anyway.
Aw damn.
What did he do this time? Yumichika asked
Tell you later. i said as a started to get my things together
The bell rang and I gathered my things, got up and left as fast as i could leaving renji looking pissed about having to be on watch tonight.
But I just had to get the hell out of there, somewhere I needed to think, no. Don't think, just keep going. I headed the language arts hoping I would have to see her there. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. She walked in alone, she seems like she's alone a lot... stop. Don't think. I couldn't help but look at her. She was looking around the room until she came on me. She visibly sighed and walked on the other side of the class room in the back. She turned to look and our eyes just locked.
Most of the class period we stayed looking at each other, just staring. I forced down the images and just on her. I noticed she turned away and started drawing. I saw why. The teacher walked to my desk, she had been calling my name for a while now apparently. "Pay attention young man, you can stare at young girls AFTER school." he scolded. There were a few snickers from the kids around me, and I noticed a few glares from some girls at Karin... Damn fangirls. They get really annoying. (Just cuz we love you! Jk ;])
Class continued anyway and soon was over. I had Renji next and then finally I leave this hell hole.
*-*-*-*-*Karin's POV*-*-*-*-*
I ignored the stupid glares of shorty's fangirls and started to draw. Unfortunately, I could never control anything that I ever drew and usually let the pencil wonder and with each line, each shade, each touch of the pencil. I really had no idea what I was drawing, never did until I was done. And when I saw the finished art work, I could feel the blush on my face and angrily crumpled it up and threw it to the trash bin as I walked out after class was over.
I mad my way to her locker dumping books in it and ran off to my Social Studies, but not until I headed back to the class and picked the crumpled paper form the trash. (A/N: 0o0 karin's a trash digger! jk :b) It was the only thing in there so I grabbed it fast and took off.. I un-crumpled the paper and looked at it again. I didn't know why I decided to keep it...
It was Toshiro. His scowl, his cold eyes, that one piece of hair that always appeared on his face. I sighed, folded it and stuck it in my back pocket. Why am I keeping this damn thing? It's... him. Ugh. I walked in and saw Yuzu talking with Momo and Rangiku.
Class went on and the we just talked. "Where did you move from Momo?"
"Oh, I was in America but I'm originally from Shinkjuku. Me, Renji, Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Shiro."
"Oh! So are you guys cousins or related?" Rangiku asked. Momo seemed to tense up a bit and I realized we went into a touchy subject.
"No. We're family friends.." Momo said trailing off in thought. I saw this was touchy subject so I changed the subject.
"Are you going into any sports or any clubs?" I asked. Momo seemed relieved to change the subject. The conversation went back to normal things until the bell rang as I practically jumped out the window, hell i did! i jumped from the tree and climbed down.
Momo did after she saw me. i told her to be careful, i had a weird feeling, and it was confirmed as Momo began to fall from the tree. She came down hands first but ended up landing on her feet. She seemed to slow down and i swore i felt a wind come before she fell. No one else seemed to notice and i didn't mention it, though it still nagged me.
I walked along with Unharmed Momo while Yuzu was talking to rangiku about cooking. "Yeah, maybe you should come over sometime, Momo, Yuzu has the BEST cooking." I said complimenting my twin sister.
"I hope so, sounds delicious."
"yeah i love your chocolate muffins!" Rangiku added. She waved us good bye as her point to leave came.
"Where do you live? Maybe you can walk with us."
"Oh by the park... I forgot what it's called but it has a river running through it and it's really nice" I knew exactly where she was talking about, it was that place where my mother died...
"Yeah! We live by there right Karin?" Yuzu asked putting a hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down. I noticed Momo perked up and turned behind her suddenly...
"Yeah" I said. I followed her eyes and oh joy...Toshiro was walking along with Renji. Next to the tall teenager he seemed even shorter which made me have to hold back a laugh
"Toshiro! Renji!" Momo exclaimed. I simply put my head phones in my ear and asked Yuzu what she was thinking of making and if she needed anything. We all walked together in awkward silence after the 2 groups made one. We came to the turn where everyone went their separate ways and headed home.
"MY WONDERFUL DAUGHTERS HOW WAS SCHOOL? I BET YOU MADE A BOYFRIE-" and once again he was brought down by another one of Karin's kicks to the head.
"Baka! Will you quit acting like a preschooler?"
"Karin, please don't hurt, Dad!" Yuzu said as she ran over to him. I simply climbed the stairs up to my room. I was listening to Papercut by Linkin Park. I was feeling too crammed in my room so I decided to take off to the park. I didn't want Yuzu or my father bugging me about where I was going so I went out the window.
I crawled out jumping to the tree just outside my window and climbed down from there.
I walked to the park and sat on the grass watching the river. The same river. "Has it really been that long mom?" she said looking in the water, she hadn't "talked" with her mom in a long time "Watch over Ichigo, I know he's an idiot but still... Yuzu is fine as you can tell. Something tells me she likes Jinta... Today was the first day of high school and I met a really nice girl there. Momo Hinaromi. She seems nice but like if she's been through a lot, I also met a few other boys she lives with (not like that). One is Renji Abari... he's really nice and has really interesting tattoos along his forehead and neck. Another is... Toshiro Hitsugaya. He's mean and just plain cold, but I don't care about that. What made him that way is what I wonder. Watch over him too, mom. Toshiro Hitsugaya.."
"Yeah?" a cold voice said. Damn... did he hear me?
