Summary: Karin and her friends go to school go to tell ghost stories... sort of...
Notes: None
Candle
The school hallways were dark as Karin and Yuzu moved through the halls. Karin's flashlight lit upon the floor making it so that they could see where they stepped. The darker haired twin had a frown on her face. "Exactly why are we doing this?"
"We're going to be telling ghost stories with our friends. Don't you remember from all of the Anime shows that the best place to tell ghost stories." Her twin walked behind her, quite excited despite the fact they were going and telling ghost stories.
"What I remember from the Anime I watch is that the ghost shows up and eats all of the students." Karin arrived at their middle school classroom and slid the door open. There was a sudden yell from those in the room as her light came across the faces of the others there and she found herself rolling her eyes. "Really... you guys are wimps."
yf1 folded her arms across her chest and looked to the side. "Seriously... I wasn't scared."
"Seriously, I nearly saw you wet your pants yf1-san." Karin slid the door closed after Yuzu came in. "How come there are so many of you?"
"I got the activity approved by the teachers so that we don't have to worry about getting in trouble for trespassing." The brown haired twin had a smile on her face.
B1 glared at the two girls, his lips pushing together. His face was pale in the light except for the freckles scattered across his cheeks. "Part of the fun is that we might get in trouble with the teachers for doing this."
A frown spread across Karin's face. "What are you doing here?"
"B1 asked if he and his friends could join us, so I said yes. So we're here with those three, you and your four friends and me and my two friends. Plus, I invited Uruyu and Jinta to come over. While Uruyu doesn't come to this school, she did in the past and the teacher said she was reliable enough to act as our activity supervisor."
Karin watched as the two group of boy's glared at each other, when the fat one from B1's group suddenly spoke up. "Wait... you mean J1? You invited him of all people?"
Yuzu's eyes widened in confusion. "What do you mean? We've known Jinta and Uruyu for almost two years now, maybe already two years. We've already gone on many adventures in search of the supernatural together."
"Is she serious..."
This voice caused Karin to turn her flash light on the face. Letting out sigh. "Let me guess. You invited M1 and her friends as well?"
"I invited them. Looks like she came with two of them."
Karin found herself rolling her eyes again. "So... who gets to tell the first story?" Silence came over the room. "Well..."
Her friend with the bleached hair spoke again. "Why don't you start?"
Yuzu however pulled over a desk. "We need to set up the candles and wait for Jinta and Yuzu to get here."
"What..." The dark haired twin shook her head. "You got permission to light a candle?"
"So long as we were supervised by someone. The teacher even made sure to put a fire extinguisher in the room." Yuzu pointed to the wall and Karin shown the light over to the wall and saw that there was in fact a fire extinguisher there. Yuzu lit the candle, only for it to be blown out when the door opened and everyone screamed.
"Oi..."
"Oh! Jinta-kun!" Yuzu piped up with excitement."
Karin's friend with the glasses muttered to himself. "She calls him by his first name and not us?"
This caused him to get a kick from Karin. Yuzu lit the candles again and Ururyu bowed to them. "Hello. I'll be your activity supervisor tonight."
"The first person to tell a story..."
"Will be me." Jinta hiked a finger at his chest. "Now gather round." He waited for the others to gather in a circle. "Many, many years ago there was a student... a student at this school. They were the kind of student that was perfect at everything they did, except for getting girls. They got good grades and they were the most athletic person on the athletic team. They weren't in any kind of gang either."
"However, they really wanted a girlfriend, so they found themselves wondering why they couldn't ever get a girl despite the fact so many girls were after them. I mean, this guy had even good looks. One day when he turned thirteen, he found himself bumping into a girl. The girl reminded him of someone, but he decided to chance it and asked her out on a date. She said yes."
"So they ended up going on a date with each other. He even took a picture of the girl and everything to prove to his friends that he had a girlfriend. However, when they looked at the photo that he had taken with the phone... they saw no one."
"Boring." M1 rolled her eyes.
"I'm not finished though. Strange things started happening and the guys hair turned white from stress. Finally... he committed suicide. When he died, he came to find out that the girl was a ghost that had been haunting his family since the previous generation because his father had embarrassed her. He know haunts these hauls, looking for guys to humiliate."
There came silence then. Yf2 frowned. "I thought this would be more exciting. Does anyone have a better story?"
"There are the shinigami we've been seeing. I mean... I don't know if you as Yuzu's friend has been seeing them, but our entire group has been seeing them." The friend with bleached hair spoke up.
"What?" Karin could fill her entire body tense up.
The friend with the afro spoke up and waved his hands around his head. "Yeah... one of them has hair like myself."
The darker haired twin took a deep breath. "Why haven't you guys mentioned this before?"
"Because you wouldn't believe us."
"Yeah... but Karin can see ghosts." Yuzu piped up. Giggles came from the other girls and B1 and his friends snorted.
"Yuzu..."
"I wish I could see them." Yuzu sighed. "I guess I'm lucky that dad can't see ghosts either and that he is in the same boat as me."
It was then that Karin's head began to hurt slightly. She wasn't sure if it was a hollow or the actual fact she had been totally embarrassed by her sister. Her last friend spoke up. "You know... these shinigami are real, but no one else is able to see them."
"Oh... really?" Jinta raised an eyebrow, egging him on.
"Yeah... there is this one orange haired chick with big..."
"Don't go there." The dark haired twin narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms to make it clear that he was to not go there.
The one with the glasses took his turn. "I saw one that was bald and he was with this one that had these weird ornaments. What's really cool is they have these cool powers and fight these really cool monsters."
The one with the bleached hair. "The one with the red hair like J1 has this really cool weapon that..."
"You've been watching to much anime." Y2's friend sighed. "Though I won't be against saying that ghosts exist. I've seen them too."
Y1 shivered. "What... no. You're joking."
"Yes... well..." The one with the bleached hair continued. "I think the guy with the red hair is cool."
"Pinapple head?" Jinta was suddenly on the floor, rolling with laughter. "You think the moocher is cool?"
At first people stared as Karin's headache got worse. It was then that the door opened and everyone Karin, Jinta and Yuzu screamed. Uruyu had for some reason disapeared. Standing in the door way was a boy with white hair and bright teal eyes. M1 pointed at the boy. "It's the boy who committed suicide."
"Suicide? If I died and came to soul society it would be because I died on a plain of ice."
"Toshiro..."
"Wait..." Karin's friends blinked a couple of times. The bleached haired one spoke again, his finger pointing at the figure in shinigami robes. "Wait... it's Hitsugaya Toshiro. Why are you dressed like a shinigami. I know we didn't plan anything like this."
"So... you can see me."
"What do you mean we can see you?"
B1's overweight friend muttered. "What exactly are you talking about? I can't see anything in the doorway. This is completely creepy."
"Yeah... M1... I can't see anything." M1's first friends said and the second nodded.
Toshiro sighed. "I am thinking that you effect other people's spiritual pressure like your brother does Kurosaki. That's why they can see me without a faux body."
"What is a faux body?" The boy with the afro raised hi hand.
"Faux means fake." Y2 piped up. "You know... who are you?"
Karin let out a sigh. "No... better yet. What are you doing here Toshiro."
The boy took a deep sigh. "I'm actually..." There came a pause. "I'm here with your brother and my former taicho taking care of the sudden surge of hollows around the school."
"Your former taicho... how come you haven't mentioned it before."
"Umm... Karin... how come I can't see Toshiro-kun? He's not... dead is he?"
The darker haired twin felt herself suddenly pale. "Um... well..."
"Yes... well... I haven't talked about my former taicho because he's been dead and I haven't been able to talk to him in awhile. I mean... we thought he was dead. He's..." Toshiro paused. "Perhaps you should go home."
Karin stood up and walked over to the boy, sticking her finger into his chest. "You... you have no right to boss me around. What makes today different then usual and makes you think you can boss me around?"
"Your father... I mean..." Toshiro's face suddenly paled.
"Yeah... if you've met her father then you know how much of an idiot he is."
"He is not!" Silence came over the room as both Yuzu and Toshiro spoke up in the man's defense.
The afro kid let out a laugh. "Yeah... so not cool like a shinigami. Even if he was a shinigami he would have some lame ass power."
Toshiro's body suddenly tensed. "Really? You think that?"
Jinta sighed. "Come on Toshiro. If he were a shinigami there is..."
"It's Hitsugaya J1!"
"What ever. There is no way he could have super cool powers on part with yours. I mean... the only way that could be is if he had powers similar to that old head captain person."
"Um... yeah..." Toshiro felt the corner of his mouth twitch. A loud explosion came.
Karin rolled her eyes. "Looks like Ichi-nii is making a mess again."
Toshiro let out a deep sigh. "Actually, that may be U1 or my taicho. Actually... I think it very well may be my taicho as it..." The wall where the chalkboard was suddenly crumbled down as a hollow came through and disintegrated. "And that would be your brother."
"Damn... I'm missing out on the fun." Jinta stood up, cracking his knuckles as he did so.
"Wait..." Karin's friend with the glasses frowned. "You fight hollows."
"What? Did you think I went and picked fights with the local gang? They're the stupid idiots who try to pick fights with me."
Ichigo peeked through the hole in the wall. "Karin... your here?"
"Yeah..."
"What are you doing here? I mean..." The sudden sound of a gun with repetitive bullets going off.
It was then that someone came hurtling through the wall. "Toshiro... I thought I told you to evacuate... oh. Oh dear..."
Karin's eyes widened. "Dad!"
Jinta's eyes widened. "Wait... your dad is a shinigami?"
"Well... he's likely got lame ass powers as we were saying Karin."
"No..." Toshiro spoke up. "He actually has fire based powers like the head captain and was in line for the position if something happened to the head captain."
"He's an idiot."
Toshiro sighed. "Actually... none of the Shiba-clan members know their own strenght. The only idiot is Shiba-san."
"Who?" Karin shook her head.
"Your living uncle. Your other uncle was your father's twin brother. So... could you get everyone else so we can take care of the hollow problem?"
"Um... sure."
