Chapter 3: Broken Memories & Guilty Consciences

I feel bad kinda about writing this :(

Normal POV

It was quiet for what seemed like forever "Yeah? What did you want? You said my name." she turned around and was thankful the night covered her blush. It was him alright. She had just spoke her thoughts out loud and he heard... hopefully not all...

She couldn't think of anything to say. What could she say? So she walked right passed him. "Hey! Wha-" but he was interrupted, he had tried to grab her wrist but grabbed her hand instead and he just froze. The pictures of the past... they came back. And they were clearer.

A woman, she was walking in the rain by the park. Little children around her playing as they walked along the street.

"Mommy! I wanna hold the umbrella! Please?" a small strawberry asked.

"No I wanna!" said a very persistent little dark haired girl

"No Karin it's my turn!" yelled the boy

"Nu-uh! Mine, Ichi-nii!"

"Hey... it's Yuzuss turn." the woman gently took the umbrella from the 2 arguing children and handed it to a light haired girl in a summer dress.

"Yay! Thank you Mommy" she responded. The other 2 children grumbled but forgot about it as they came onto a puddle. The rain began to come down harder and the mother urged the children to hurry home.

"Come on you guys we have to go."

"We don't wanna!" Karin and Yuzu said together.

"Come on Karin, Yuzu, I wanna go home!" Ichigo said

"You're just saying that cuz mom said for you too!:" Karin yelled.

"Did not!"

"Alright come on, there's hot chocolate waiting for us at home. Lets go." The twins began to walk to their mom, until Karin saw something on the other side of the river. It looked like a boy "Hey you!" the boy didn't look up. "Hey!" Karin ran up the boy and realized it wasn't a boy it was a man.

"Karin don't!" the mother screamed and ran to her child. The man grabbed Karin, turned and ran. "KARIN!" the woman screamed. The man ran fast and The woman chased. "Ichigo! Take Yuzu home!" she said as she sped off. The man holding Karin stopped at the bridge.

"Your beautiful, Karin" the man said in a sick rough voice. She'd seen this man before. He would always be at the park. Sitting there watching Karin and Yuzu play. He offered her things before but she always turned him down and ran to her mother. Her mom stopped taking her to that park and she didn't see the man again.

The man reached and touched her cheek but Karin bit his finger. "Ouch! You little bitch!" the man said as he slapped her, and she was out cold. The man's hands began to roam under Karin's dress, touching her.

"Get off of her!" the woman screamed. The man set Karin on the ground roughly "You! You took her away from me!" the man said crazed. The man pushed the mother toward the railing, "I'm going to go and get Yuzu now, there's nothing you can do, they are mine!"With that the man pushed the woman over the railing sending her to the water rushing below.

The man didn't notice but Karin had waken up by now and saw her mother fall. The man looked over the railing cursing at the woman. Karin ran towards him and pushed him sending him down as well. She went down the bridge and saw her mother in the water. She was face down hanging on to a broken log.

"Mommy!" Karin screamed the water turned her mother's face towards Karin, The same log she was holding on to was one she crashed on. When the mother fell she hit the log, causing her to die on impact. The woman's face was covered in blood and the image of her soulless eyes looking straight at Karin, with blood steamed down her face was burned in her head forever.

She heard someone behind her and turned scared it was the man back again but instead it was her father. She ran to her dad and told him everything.

Toshiro stood there frozen as he snapped back to life. Their hands were still connected but Karin was on her knees, her hair covering his face. Why do i feel so lied too? What was that? I thought those were my memories but... it had started to lightly drizzle, making her tears less visible. Even in the rain he could still see her tear stained face. But then...

Crap I let my guard down! Toshiro said in his head. Karin suddenly jerked. She felt strange pull telling her to run, take her as far away as her legs could carry her, and not look back, like hell she was going to do that.

She looked up and in the darkness she could see two eyes in the darkness with murmurs of growling. Karin remembered her dream, she expected more eyes to open in the darkness but none showed. Karin looked towards Toshiro. He seemed surprised but prepared, then his eyes went to Karin. They were filled with worry, and maybe a little... regret? "I'm sorry." he whispered to her. Before she could ask him Toshiro had hit her on the back, causing her to start to black out.

She fought the urge to slip into the blackness, she wanted to warn Toshiro about the creature. Her vision was blurring she could make out a black figure on all fours, she cold hear a growl but more husky... like dog. Then a white figure lunged at the other, leaving the sound of a piercing screech of pain.

"Toshiro!" she screamed as she shot up from her bed. She looked around and realized she was in her room. She turned to the clock, it was only 10 pm. What the hell happened?Was it a dream? NO. It couldn't have been it was too real. I snuck out last night, went to the park, I was speaking my thoughts, stupidly, out loud when...

"Kairn!" She heard Yuzu say, "Are you ok? Hows your head? Do you remember what happened? You fell from the window. We found you outside on the bushes. You hit your heard pretty hard and-"

"MY DARLING DAUGHTER! THANK HEAVENS YOUR-" Karin may have been hit, but she still had the energy to stop that annoyance known as her father.

"Dad, not..." Karin stopped as she felt her head throb violently.

"Karin, get some rest, ok?" Yuzu said in a comforting tone. Unable to make the throbbing stop she simply nodded and lied back down on her bed. Their father and Yuzu left, leaving karin alone.

Karin couldn't sleep, with every throb she could hear something... voices maybe? I just need to clear my head... and as she did the voices just got clearer. They sounded like more than one person, and she even recognized them. She focused a little more and could make out part of their words...

Why were.....the park?said the voice

Went....her....Captain?She'd heard these voices she know she has...

How is... alright? This one sounded like a girl...

...fine... with me.....danger...This one bugged the crap out of her but he seemed to be hurt.

….saved....happy... alive...got....It was the girl again...

She couldn't understand what they were saying but she could tell they were about her... Oh great Karin your going crazy... she thought before she blacked out once again on her bed of pure exhaustion.

*-*-*-*-*Toshiro's POV*-*-*-*-*

I couldn't open my eyes they were squeezed tight when the pain hit me. Damn... I opened them to see Momo's worried motherly expression she wore too well by now. "Shiro-chan, be careful." he looked closer and saw blood on her cheek, she straightened up and then he realized it wasn't her's. His memories flooded back into his head.

Karin talking to herself, he saw those.. memories? Then that's when they came. There were 5 of them, but why were they after Karin? The only reason I went by there was because he sensed them near by going to the river, where he found Karin. Wait, Karin...

He looked around but Momo had his answer "She's fine. She's over there under the tree, she didn't get hurt badly only a few scrapes and bruises." he softened a bit but his blank expression soon took over once more.

"She'll be fine, I don't think she saw you change." Renji said as he held her bridal style. "I can smell where she lives but it's getting fainter with the rain."

"Just lay her in her room and go in through her window. Her family doesn't even know that she's gone, they would've come looking by now." he turned towards Ikakku, patrol around and make sure there aren't anymore we can't sense."

"Right" Ikkaku was running towards the forest he jumped and transformed into a dark red wolf and continued to run on all fours.

Renji did the same in the opposite direction except he was reddish brown, Momo was dark brown, Yumichika was pitch black and I was, shocker, white. I guess it went with which element we controlled.

I was more water and ice, Renji was able to control fire and heat, Yumichika's was sky and wind, while Ikkaku was earth. Momo strangely could control all and do more mind things. She could move things and was able to feel emotions of people around her if she tried hard enough. Urahara, who found, clothed, trained and sheltered us, told them she was another element. A rare one called "spirit". A perfect reason we had to protect her, the Hyous wanted her powers. they wanted all of ours actually, but her's the most.

"I'll go with Ikkaku, that big oaf loves to show off, might get caught." Yumichika said as he followed behind his friend.

I got up and saw my injuries were better, so I nodded to Momo and we took off. On our own, we got to the house. I told Momo about the (1)Hyous, but luckily not any (2)Kurohyou. Hyous were giant felines that has hated our kind for centuries. They were once normal hunters but their hatred grew more than those of normal hunters and joined with Pansaas, normal panthers that were trained for combat. Hyous were giant and could, like werewolves, transform from human to their animal counterpart. Kurohyous were the head of each pack and were always black. Of course the Hunters exiled them, hating all creatures who "weren't meant to be on earth" They always protected humans because we can't control our own strength and power. We've all killed people before, either on accident or on purpose, and some of them were the ones we loved over the years.

But why were the Kuroyou after Karin? Maybe they were just after the pack, it wouldn't be the first time they harmed someone else to get to us. I have to stay away from her, it's the only way to keep her safe. I don't think she saw me transform, but that dream is nagging me...

Why were you even at the park? Ikkaku said out of nowhere.

Went to see her, your lover right captain? Yumichika teased.

How is she is she gonna be alright? Momo asked no one in particular but hoping for an answer

She's fine now Renji comforted.

When ever she's with me she'll be in danger Toshiro said evenly

You saved her, be happy she's alive and we got there before more came. Momo told him.

Come back you guys, I think it's pretty safe now.Toshiro said. After that everyone went silent. He could tell they went into their own thoughts, and he did as well.

Karin... something tells me they didn't even know we knew each other. If that was true then why-but he stopped.

Oh great karin your going crazy...

Was that Karin? No... it couldn't be. She would have hear us, no but thats only if she was one too. Which is impossible. She doesn't smell like it...

Did you guys hear that?Toshiro asked to everyone.

Hear What? came their replies.

Nothing, never mind.

With that Toshiro couldn't keep his mind off the raven haired Kurosaki. And of course he had the dream again. He didn't remember all of it he never did, but some he did. And they were always the part that Karin died.

Toshiro was running. Yes it always started with him running and he could never remember why. All he knew is that he had to get there before some else did. Then he came to a stop. The girl. He couldn't remember her name at the time. She would turn around and even if he wanted to say anything he couldn't. He'd be speechless every time. She would be in a black base kimono with a crimson red dragon design across with a red sash and a katana with 2 bells hanging from the handle and she'd be bare foot. After seeing her features he woulds try to see her face but the wind would pick up and he would squint and could never tell who it was.

She wasn't scared for some reason "Toshi-" she almost said his name because i'd try to say her name but it only came out as a bark, making him remember he was transformed. But she smiled anyway like if she understand,and laid down on the snow. She invited him to sit with her, he shrugged and lay beside her and lay her head on his stomach. They didn't do anything, and they didn't need to. They were happy in each others presence. But he still couldn't see her face and just as he was about to see over her shoulder the peace ended.

No matter how much he wanted it to, it never lasted long.

The sky turned a horrible black and the soccer field seemed to dissolve and it became a forest. The girl got up as a black panther with blood red eyes and seemed to be in flames. Toshiro would run in between them. He looked around and saw they were surrounded.

He saw the girl unsheathe her sword and be in a fighting stance and as the two bells rang we began. "Your gonna be okay" she would ask, he didn't say anything but she nodded. He saw on go behind her but saw her take care of it. She could take care of herself. He spotted some of the stronger ones and went for them, having to go through a few weaker ones who got in the way. She seemed to finish off the weaker ones first, he wasn't fast enough...

The first thing he saw was blood. Always her blood and it pained him every time. He turned and could see her eyes filled with pain wide open as his sword pierced her stomach. "Checkmate."

"NO!" he screamed. He has his voice back, but he didn't care, he needed to get to Karin. Then she would turn to him and open and close her mouth but instead of words blood followed through.

"Get up! You can't die!" he would howl. The man would take the sword out of Karin and she would fall to the snowy floor.

Toshiro was furious. He clawed away from the panthers he was already fighting and jumped to the man screaming. "AIZEN!" But before he could law a claw on him, that bastard would smirk and disappear into the night.

Toshiro looked around and went to the lifeless body. She was facing the other way, he didn't want to see her face, showing the pain she felt as her blood continued to stain the pure white snow, and emotionless. He stared at her, and simply laid down beside her, her blood He did it. He killed what little family he had.

Sorry it took SO long to publish! Busy weekend!

OH and turns out mine and Misteree Gurl's Story: Anathema (you should read by the way it's a good story) had some similarities so i went back and changed a few things. we got our ideas from some of the same books and stuff but our stories are going in difference directions. (we made sure) so i just hinted more to the differences in our storybut i will go back and refer to the things i changed so try and read them.

Oh and it depends on when you read the story so if you already read about Toshiro getting his butt burned then your fine! dnt worry!

Thanks and sorry for the incontinence! my next chapter will be up soon!
