A/N: Wow. these chapters are short. usually, my chapters start out short, and get longer as I continue, so chapters might start to get longer.

Karin

Tōshirō was passed out on the snow.

He clearly had no place to stay, so Karin hoisted him up onto her shoulders, and brought him to her house.

"Karin! You're late!" Ichigo yelled.

"Sorry! I was looking for someone! He doesn't have any place to stay, so I thought he could stay here! We have room!"

"Who is he?" Ichigo asked, suddenly sounding overprotective.

Karin sighed. "Remember when we all got attacked, and the boy with the ice saved us?"

"Tōshirō? Yeah, but what does he have to do with all of this?"

Karin sighed, yet again. Her brother could be so slow. "He's a new student in my class."

"Don't tell me…"

"Yeah, I brought him home."

"Karin!"

"What? There's room!"

"Karin, the only room is your room."

"So?"

Ichigo sighed. "What's dad gonna think…"

Turns out, Isshin was overjoyed.

"Masaki! Karin has a boyfriend now!" Her father said in front of the poster of their mother

Tōshirō, who had woken up around an hour ago, blushed slightly, and Karin blushed… more than slightly, and at the same time, they said "We don't even know each other that well!"

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Who cares." Isshin replied, as Karin rolled her eyes at the immaturity of their father.

"Where am I gonna stay?" Tōshirō asked.

"Karin's room. That's the only room we have." Ichigo said bluntly.

Tōshirō sighed and took a sip of his hot chocolate.

"You'll have to sleep in the same bed, too."

Tōshirō spit out the hot chocolate. "Excuse me?!"

"Either that or you stay up all night. Karin's floor isn't safe."

Tōshirō sighed, and walked to Karin's room, with said person trailing behind him.
