~A Change in Life~

***Where there is a will, there is a way***

-Toshiro POV-

"Ka... Karin…" my eyes widened. I was really shocked. I was nearly fainted when i saw her standing there while smiling at me.

"It had been so long, Hitsugaya-taicho" she said and smiled at me.

"Karin… it's you…" I looked at her, more likely stared at her. I looked every single thing at her body. Her face is more beautiful than 10 years ago, she is taller, her hair is longer too. Her dark blue eyes is still the same as before. She looks exactly like an angel.

"Of course it's me, Hitsugaya-taicho..." Her voice is still same. But now that boyish girl is looks like a perfect lady with her politeness. But what caught my eyes is the fact that she is wearing shinigami uniform. SHINIGAMI UNIFORM for goodness sake!

"You are… shinigami?" I asked her, not believing what my eyes had saw. It's unbelievedable!

"As you can see, I'm a shinigami..." She answered relaxedly.

"But- How? You- it's- ah…" I shocked! She is a shinigami! What the hell? How could? There are too much questions in my head that couldn't said it one by one.

She giggled when she saw me like that. I blushed and turn my head from her. It was embarassing for me, one of 13 captain in Soul Society, to act like that. But I really didn't know what question that I should asked her. Too many question on my head, I felt my head like wanted to explode.

"I mean... You had not even go to academy… Had you learn your zanpakuto's name? Learn how to use shikai or even bankai? How did you become a shinigami?" I finally start to relaxed, began to think normally. And what really make me surprised was that she just smiled and gave me a really short answer.

"It's a secret" She chuckled.

I check. Not believing my ears. Why she didn't want to tell me? She should had know that soon or later, she must reveal how she got her shinigami power.

"Karin…" I frowned. I really curioused about how she became a shinigami, why she didn't appear sooner, why and how she could be here now.

"What is it Hitsugaya-taicho?" She asked me. Hearing what she said made me felt weird. Something was felt strange, unusual, and wrong. But what is it?

'There is something wrong here. It felt weird. But i can't come up with any idea.'

then i realised that from the beginning, she had called me Hitsugaya-taicho. Every shinigami knows that no Kurosaki that would call me HITSUGAYA-TAICHO, even Yuzu address me as Hitsugaya-san.

"Why…" I began to asked.

"Hmm…?" She looked at me. Her eyes look like expecting a long question.

"Why do you call me like that?" I frowned. I don't know why but I began to felt unease.

"Call you like what, hitsugaya-taicho?" She asked me with her confused face. She probably had no idea what was I asking about.

"that hitsugaya-taicho… why you call me like that?" I told her the full question. I'm really curiosed, I wanted to know, WHY?

"Why? Isn't that how people here address you?" she asked me back, and gave me an innocent look.

"But you are different… you never address me like that before Ka-" I suddenly stopped. I thought again and again. She is not Karin. She definetely isn't her. Karin wouldn't called me Hitsugaya-taicho.

"What's the matter, Hitsugaya-taicho?" She asked when she see me suddenly stopped speaking.

"Taicho?" Matsumoto asked too, and i heard a worried voice when she called me.

"No… you are not Karin…" i said. I looked at her and waiting her reaction, but she just confusedly looked at me while i'm trying to read her mind. However, i couldn't get anything. She is a hard one.

"What? It is really me, Hitsugaya-taicho" she looked annoyed by the fact that i still don't believe her that she is Karin, but i'm not going to lose. She isn't her! How dare she talking like that and told everyone that she is Karin?

"No! Karin would never call me like that! I know it! Who are you?" i shouted with anger. She is pissed me off. I'm ready to attacked her when suddenly she gave a weird look.

"Hitsugaya-taicho… It's really me… if you don't want to believed me then it is okay… but do you believed me when I tell you that I met Aizen?" she asked me again. She looked straight to me and her eyes were serious. Of course i shocked. I don't know if she lieing to me or not and should i believe this fake Karin or not.

"wha-" i was going to asked her back when she cut my sentence,

"I met him. Do you want to know about it? if you want to know, meet me in the forest. I'll tell you later. I need to find my family. See you." She then shunppoed and disappeared.

"Wait Karin!" I called her but i was too late. She had already gone. Then i prepared to shunppoed to the forest. I should get every single information from her. Aizen.. she met him..

"Taicho, I come with you." Matsumoto suddenly said. i know she is worried but i must go alone

"No matsumoto. I'll go alone. You do your paperwork. If I don't come back..." i stopped. Maybe this is a trap. I narrowed my eyes. That fake Karin doesn't looked strong but no one knows how strong is she.

"What do you mean not come back? Of course you will come back..." she tried to laugh but couldn't.

"if I don't come back, you have to keep eyes at her.. She is not Karin." I continued. Then i looked at her. She is staring at the ground. I thought i could see her eyes really worried.

"You really think she is not?" she mumber, but i could heard her really clear.

"My heart said so" i told her. It's an ridicioulos answer but i better believed my own heart than my eyes.

"Your heart is really sensitive about her" Hyorinmaru commented.

'shut up!' i growled. He is really annoying.

"But taicho..." Matsumoto is still begging me to allowed her go with me, but i'm not going to allowed her, no matter what.

"No but matsumoto. You just need to keep eyes on her. If she did something strange, just report it to Sotaicho" finally i gave her an order. If this is a trap, then the chance for me to come back is really slim.

"Taicho... you are like giving me a testament... I know you will come back… don't need to think too much… you are a captain.." she tried to joke, but it didn't work.

"She is true" I rolled my eyes, then i turn around, my back is facing her.

'No. if my feeling is true, then I won't come back.'

"Be careful, matsumoto" that's the last thing i told her before i shunppoed.

"You really come." A voice greeted me. I looked around, tried to find where is her. Then i finally found her, gazing at the sky.

"What do you want to tell me?" i asked her. I'm waiting anxiously.

"It's about Aizen." She looked at me, then she closed her eyes.

"What about him?" i'm curioused and impatient to heard what will she going to tell me.

She opened her eyes then staring at me. And the next minute, she is staring down at the ground with blushed at her face. Now i'm really confused.

"He proposed me." She told me shyly.

"What?" i shocked. Aizen proposed her? Aizen? That bastard.. i stumped, i want to say something but my voice don't come out. I'm speechless.

"And I think I will accept it." She then continued. When i heard it, i really angry. And at that time i know, she absolutely isn't Karin. Karin would never say that SHE WILL ACCEPT AIZEN'S PROPOSAL.

"You... you are definitely not Karin!" i shouted. I couldn't hold my anger anymore.

"But... I really am-" she again said that damn thing!

"STOP! You are not her. I should kill you now!" i unsheeted hyorinmaru, and attacked her. The first and second time, she could dodge it but the thirt time when i used kido to attacked her, she get cut in her stomach. She injured badly.

"ARG!" she shouted, and her wound looked painfull. However, i ignored that. I walked closer to her and was about to slashed her when suddenly she looked at me.

"You...want...to...kill...me...shi...ro...Chan..." she said in a painfull voice and that eyes, the eyes that i couldn't avoid.

"Uh...ugh..." she really got my heart. She is using Karin's body, voice, eyes, and it makes me harder to killed her.

'Damn. I couldn't avoid her eyes. Her eyes are same as Karin's.'

"Master! Watch out!" Hyorinmaru suddenly shouted.

'Huh?' i confused but she really didn't gave me time to think anymore. Suddenly something hit me and cut all my body. It threw me to the air.

"ARG!" i yelled in pain. I have no energy anymore. And i'm falling down.

"I thought you are a genius captain. What a fool." She looked down at me. I shocked, my eyes widened. She isn't injured anymore. She had tricked me before. SHIT!

"Y-you... Bastard..." i growled.

"Sayonara… Hitsugaya-taicho..." then i saw a light and i felt something stabbed my chest. Then my surrounding is blurred and became black.

"Ugh… Ka…rin…"

It's dark...

-Karin POV-

'Uh…'

I shocked. I felt scared.

"what happen?"

"I felt something strange…"

"Something strange? You mean Aizen? Does he do something at Karakura? Or shinigami?"

'no… this one is different… someone is here… in my world…'

Now my body is shaking. Why am i felt this frightened? Why? Is something happened to my family? Or maybe toshiro?

'hah...'

i stopped breathing, my eyes widened, and my body doesn't stop shaking. What will i do if something happened to Toshiro? I couldn't even imagine it. That thought made me feel dizzy and i got a headache. I closed my eyes, preventing myself to thinking too much.

"Are you alright? You mind is really shaking like there is an earthquake here." She growled

'I-i doesn't think so… I need to find out whom!'

I opened my eyes, hurriedly run out from my house, and shunpoed. My eyes opened wide when i saw a boy, with white hair, wearing shinigami uniform, falling down from the sky. And there is alot of blood that out from his body. I gasped. My tears are running down. And i shouted.

"TOSHIRO!"
