Chapter 8: Vague Explanations

"Momo, Whats-" But Renji was stopped by seeing Urahara in their door way with an unconscious Toshiro on his back.

"Damn..." Ikkaku said, "What the hell happened?"

"I'll explain inside maybe?" Urahara said with a small grin "Your little friend isn't exactly a feather..." Renji sweat dropped and led them inside as Momo followed.

"Oh, how ugly." Yumichika said as Urahara placed Toshiro on the couch of the living room.

"He'll be fine, he'll be knocked out for oh..." he paused with his hand on his chin as a his grin widened a bit. At that time a small puncture seemed to appear on his hand at his knuckle, but soon the small puncture stretched into a long cut that reached almost to his elbow. "Well, from that not long from now."

"What the hell?" Renji said. Momo knelled down next to him and placed her hands just above the freshly cut wound before Urahara stopped her, by holding her back by her wrist.

"I suggest you don't use Naosu on it, it'll only make it worse." he stated, as his hat cast a shadow over his eyes.

"Why wouldn't that work?" Yumichika questioned,

"Because that cut was made by a hunter's knife, a Junsui* Blade." He said releasing Momo from his grasp.

"The knife of the Hunters!" Renji exclamied.

"How is that possible? He just got the wound, right before our eyes!" Ikkaku stated as he stared down at Toshiro.

"Because where he was just now he was wounded by a Junsui Blade," Urahara started,

"'Where he was just now'? What-"

"He might have been here physically, but he wasn't really here... Isn't that right Toshiro?" The pack moved their attention towards their friend who just began to wake up. He looked around at the 5 pairs of eyes all looked down on him. His memories of listening to Yoruichi and Karin's conversation flooded back to his memories, also the ones of Karin's Mother's real death.

"Shiro-chan!" Momo said hugging him as she sat upright.

"Momo, I'm fine." he said, pulling himself free from Momo's hug gently "What is she?" Toshiro asked bluntly as he realized Urahara was there asw

Urahara smirked, "You shouldn't ask questions you aren't prepared for," he said as he stood up and made his way to the door.

"Hold i-" he grabbed his head which was throbbing in pain. It was then he finally realized the blood running down his arm from his unhealed wound. Its from that hunter's blade...

"Just wrap it up tight to stop the bleeding," he called, "and your head ache's normal it'll go away eventually..." his voice disappeared as he exited the door way.

"Damn i hate it when he does that." Ikkaku said looking towards the doorway.

"You look horrible." Yumichika chuckled, making everyone look at how he looked. His white hair was for some reason unknown to the rest of the pack, damp, making it stick to his pale skin. His pants were for some reason muddy, his white shirt was stained by blood. And overall he was damp, either from sweat or rainwater.. or maybe both. His teeth were a little bit more elongated, which meant he just finished transforming back into a human form.

"I'm just guessing but did you just get your ass handed to you by a girl?" Renji asked, receiving a glare from cold teal eyes as the temperature dropped.

"Well if your well enough to give a glare, and make the room so cold I'm getting some sleep," Renji said, happy to see his friend was alright. He was fire and he was ice... but for some reason they were closer. Like how Yumichika and Ikkaku are, and they're Air and Earth. Although Toshiro was the one who found Renji...

The tea was making her headache fade away to nothing. "Ah.." Karin sighed happily, as she finished the tea.

"Want some more?" Yoruichi said. Karin nodded as the woman took her cup. They had spent the whole time talking about the origins about them, told her about the Hunters and those Panther things that attacked her were, The Panseas, and the Hyous and Kurohyou. And how werewolves could talk to each other in their own minds, but couldn't read into each others own personal thoughts. She even told her some of the old Legends from along time ago, and small stuff like that werewolves even inspired "Little Red Riding Hood"(1)

No matter how strange this all was, she couldn't help but feel comfortable with Yoruichi, safe, maybe. She missed that tone of voice. What was it? Motherly. Yeah. That was the only way to describe it.

No, Yoruichi could never be a replacement for her real Mom, no one could. No mater how much anyone tried, Masaki would always be her mother, now and forever...

Even if she was part werewolf.

"Yoruichi?"

"hm?"

"Your one too right? You and Mom both just because of those scars."

"No, I'm full fledged." she answered. "But I'll fill you in later." Yoruichi gave her the cup. "Or..." she stopped as she looked some where behind Karin.

Karin followed her eyes, she turned and saw her brother in the door way.

"I'm still kinda in the dark about this stuff too, but I can still explain most of it to you." He said.

"Come on." with that Karin got up, stumbling a little of course, but she regained balance and followed her older brother.

Ichigo jumped into a trap door that Karin suspected led to the basement. Karin walked down the stairs and he eyes were wide as she looked at the vast land Urahara had under ground... How the hell is this down here? There's a sky and everything, this freaking place is huge! Karin looked to an edge only to see she couldn't see one. She turned to look at her brother, but before he could do that he swooped her up in her arms and jumped, no I mean jumped, far across the land. The rocks around her became blurred and in a few jumps, she guess (As soon as she could think straight that is) that she was more then mile away from the stairs she descended earlier. She looked around and noticed she was actually at the bank on a small pond.

"Could you tell me before you do something Werewolfy?"

"Werewolfy?" he asked as he looked down to her.

"Shut up." she said, as he sighed with a grin on his face. "You could put me down now!"

"I think i'll just drop you.." he said with a grin on his face as he walked closer to the pond.

"Hey" she said as she punched in playfully on the arm.

"That doesn't hurt!" He said mockingly teasing her.(2)

"Go on! I dare ya! I'll just take you with me, Ichi-nii!" she challenged, pushing away from him but she had to admit she was happy. She really missed her older brother, he was always off with doing something else. This is probably what he was doing the whole time.

Ichigo put Karin down, and they sat by the pond. "So what about you. I know mom's part.. but what does that make us?"

"Karin, there are 2 types of werewolves: Born, and Turned. Mom was turned."

"No duh.." Ichigo simply smiled and continued.

"You get turned when you get a bit or a scratch your half. A half can become a full, but I don't know how. That you have to ask Yoruichi." he said rolling his eyes a bit. She must of not wanted to tell him for some reason

"For Born, there are two types. Most were wolves have only two kids Each a different type." Karin could start to see where things went differently for her family. "The first child is a Senshi. Born with more physical abilities, made for fighting and combat. Mostly instinct and strategic thinking." He said with a slightly cocky smile

"Strategic thinking my ass..." Karin said. Ichigo chuckled a bit.

"Shut up," he said as he ruffled her hair, which she swat away. "Anyway, the other is born with an affinity, and/or the power to heal, called a Ishas* if their healing powers are stronger and Gensos* if they are stronger with their Affinity."

"So who has it? Me or Yuzu?" Hoping her sister wouldn't have to go through any of.. this.

"Both of you... kinda."

"Kinda?" she questioned.

"Yuzu can heal, she can talk to other animals but you have the affinity."

"And that is what again?"

"It's usually the power to control one of the five elements(3)"

"Usually?" She asked, well she should be surprised because...

"Kurasakis are never normal" he said with a shrug, he knew exactly what she was thinking, "You, you lil freak," he smirked, "can control all five. They mostly think it's because your the oldest of the two you have the more offensive one, or whatever"

"Great. So that means..."

"In the next few days your powers are going to go crazy, and could even be dangerous to you and everyone around you." he answered

"Just perfect! Anything else?" she asked sarcastically, then she saw he brothers face, and sighed. "Ok, what else?"

"Since you got your memories back you'll be remembering a lot of stuff which involved anything to do with Werewolves. And.."

"How did I know there was gonna be an 'And'?" she muttered to herself.

"We aren't the only ones in Karakura." he said, "With others her i guess you could say it activated or something."

"Wait then what about Yuzu, or You? How did you start to remember?"

"Well, Yuzu won't really remember. Your powers were completely hidden, with Yuzu she's always used hers, she just didn't know it." He said. She could tell he was grateful for that, just like she was. She knew Yuzu wasn't helpless, but she just always wanted to protect her. "She practically used her powers everyday since she worked at the clinic with you and dad." She nodded in understanding, "And me, Well something else made me remember." he said as he got up from where they sat. He looked out to the rocks his back facing Karin. "Hunters came, one was young enough, or looked young enough, to go to my school." Thinking about it, Karin realized.

"Rukia." she said.

"Yeah, Rukia was a hunter. She's even in a famous Hunting family, the Kuchiki's." he said, still not facing her.

"Wait, who are the others?" she got up to ask him, wanting to leave the subject, seeing the effect it had on her brother.

"You have to figure that out or they have to tell you." he said as he once again got her in his arms.

"So basically i'm screwed." she chuckled

"Yeah pretty much." and they were gone.

1-I don't know i read that off of some website i didn't really wanna say anything about werewolves, not saying they are or aren't real. If they are awesome, if their not okay.

2-I know it might be a bit OOC but seeing as though they haven't been able to spend anytime together, they'd be kinda like that :b

3- I felt like using the 5 elements instead of 4. (Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Spirit) If people are discriminant against people who see these as normal then i suggest you stop reading now and just don't read any of my stories or even bother to review. i don't like discrimination. Thanks(:

*Junsui-Pure (I'm going for them to be more like "you are evil, we are good." thing, like a Good thing, like protecting, gone corrupt type thing)

*Ishas- Healers

*Gensos- Elemental

Review? Tell me if you hate it, love it! If i need to fix anything? And thank you so much to the people who reviewed:
