My third chapter! Sorry i accidently put up chapter four after chapter 2 and didnt realize! IM SORRY! WAH! ~HXK L

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Bleach

I awoke to find myself in a room that I didn't recognize. Light was filtering in through the windows. I sat up and looked down at the thing I was using as a blanket. It was a white haori with the number ten on the back. I could feel my face turning red when I realized who it belonged to.

I noticed I was on a couch in an office. I wondered whose office it was. I saw a desk, so I walked over to it. It was stacked high with paperwork, so I had to go on my tip toes in order to see who it was behind the papers. It was a fast-asleep Tōshirō. He looked a little cold, so I put his haori back on him.

I tip toed over to the door, glanced back at him, then left.

The building I was in consisted mainly of offices, so after wandering around for ten minutes, I asked some creeps with swords (surprising how many creeps were carrying swords) where the exit was. When I followed their directions, I ended up in a large court yard with paths leading into different places. I couldn't tell which path went where, so I decided to get on the roof in order to scout the area. I looked around and saw a tree. It would work perfectly. I quickly scaled the tree and hopped onto the roof. I looked around, trying to find a way out. Finally, I spotted a crowd of people that I could blend into. They'd have to leave eventually.

Suddenly I heard a not-so-happy voice.

"KARIN!"

Oh, no! I ran towards the crowd at my top speed. Then I spotted a tall girl waiting in some sort of line. Tōshirō called out my name again, but this time he was much closer.

"Can you hide me, please!" I said as I ran up to the tall girl.

She gave me a confused look, but she said okay anyway.

I hid behind her just as Tōshirō ran up to her.

"Have you seen a girl about my height, with short hair and anger issues?" he asked her.

When he said anger issues, I was ready to jump out from behind the girl and strangle him, but she held me back.

"No taichō" she said.

He sighed, then turned and sprinted off again.

"Thank you so much!" I said. I could hear the relief in my voice.

"No problem," the girl said, "My name is Mitsuru. What's yours?"

"Karin."

"I hope we can become good friends!" Mitsuru said. She reminded me a bit of Yuzu- wait a second. Just who was this Yuzu? I just felt a familiar glow when I heard it. I just shook off the feeling and turned to her, a small yet sad smile on my face.

"Yea."

Suddenly, a voice called out "Next!" and shook me out of my daze. Mitsuru looked at me.

"Go ahead."

I really didn't know where I was going or what I was doing, but I walked down a long hallway. There were no doors or anything, just some paintings on the wall. Towards the end of the hall, I saw a painting of Tōshirō and Matsumoto standing in front of the building I had just come out of before.

He must be a big shot, having a painting in an official looking building. Wait, I take that back, he's too short, so I'd consider him…. I don't kow, but he's definitely not big in ANY way. I thought.

Around the time I saw the painting, I had realized I had reached the end of the hallway. There was a giant door in front of me. There were ornate carvings engraved into the wood. It looked like it should have been in a museum.

I walked up to the door and opened it to find myself in a wide room. In the middle of this room, there was a table with 5 people sitting there. They must have seen the confusion on my face, because the one in the middle talked to me.

"Come on, don't get stage fright. Just sit down, relax, and imagine all of your inner flames, engulfing you."

I nodded, and sat down on the ground. I took a deep breath and did as I was told. Suddenly, I felt a warm glow surround me. I was too busy keeping the flames in check to notice, though. Then, it got too much for me to control. The flames were spiraling out of control when I heard a voice in my head.

Calm down. Take a deep breath and stop the flow the voice said. I don't know why, but I felt I could trust this voice. I slowly was able to regain control and put a plug on the flames.

I looked up at the other five people in the room and saw complete shock. After the initial shock, the one in the middle said "You're in." and directed me into another room. There I saw Mitsuru. She waved me over. I went and sat next to her on the floor as a man stood up in the middle of the room and explained the rules I would break anyway. This was turning out to be a long day…

Meanwhile in the Tenth Division Barracks…

Tōshirō was sitting at his desk, ready to fall asleep. He had searched all over the Seireitei, yet he still couldn't find Karin. It was exhausting and frustrating.

"Taichō! The Shinigami Academy has found a child with enormous spiritual energy, so they have sent out a profile of her!" Matsumoto said as she handed me a document. I sighed and opened it.

Name: Karin

Hair color: Black

Eye color: navy blue

Wait a second…

"WWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!"

That girl…
