You Bent My Triangle!
Chapter 4: Toshiro Says the Dumbest Things
"Hey Ichigo lets not go to the clinic please. Hanataro healed my injuries and I just want to go take a nap. I can't do that peacefully if dad knows I am hurt," Karin looked at her brother who was just about to enter the clinic.
He sighed, "Fine, if you are sure your injuries are better." The rest of their group was waiting behind Ichigo. Hanataro was almost disappointed he was looking forward to seeing what a hospital in the living world looked like. But he decided that he would probably get the chance later if they were going to be here a while.
They all followed Ichigo. He took his sister through the kitchen. Yuzu was not there, ‘Thank you.’ He took Karin to her room and led the others to his own room. It was kind of crowed in his small room so he suggested they go to the roof. There were no objections. He climbed out his window and the rest of them went behind. The only one who seemed to think this was strange was Hanataro.
"Kurosaki? Do you have any idea what has been going on?" The Captain asked.
He sort of shrugged, "Seems like Grimmjow has an interest in Karin." He did not really want to think about the nature of his interest it made his head hurt.
"What he means to say," Renji spoke up, "We think that Grimmjow has the hots for Ichigo's sister." They all heard the intense growling coming from Karin’s protective older brother. Hitsugaya for reasons that escaped him shared those sentiments but managed to keep quiet.
"Sorry Ich-," Renji looking sheepish, "I didn't mean to put it so bluntly."
"So if we are to understand the situation, Grimmjow is wooing the girl?" Yumichika asked. Everybody looked at him.
"Wooing?" Ikkaku asked with a silly smirk on his face.
Yumichika rolled his eyes smackint Ikkaku in the back of the head. "You know, trying to develop a romance," Yumichika explained. Ichigo cringed, so did Hitsugaya though no one else noticed.
"This would be the third time he has contacted her, Correct?" Hitsugaya attempted to steer the conversation to a more productive end, "This is the first time he has physically injured her?"
Ichigo began to explain, "Yes, I don't get it. Karin said the first time he appeared while she was playing soccer yesterday morning. He stayed for the whole game then he approached her after. When I got there he was looking at her like she was a piece of meat, not like food. You get my meaning. I put a stop to that. He did not even stay to fight. In our other encounters he only seemed interested in killing me, this time he blew it off like it was nothing. Then last night close to midnight he went into her room while I was asleep. Karin was sleeping too," They looked at him as if to say, 'How could you not sense him in your own house.’
"I know-I know I should have sensed him long before he got there," He looked away shamefully, "He seems to be able to mask his power. He only slipped up at the last second, his power flickered. Then he opened a hole to Heuco Mundo and was gone. I was certain he had taken her with him." His voice was ragged, "When I see him again I'm gonna kill him and make sure he stays dead this time!"
Grimmjow sat in his room feeling depressed, "What am I doing? I've turned to mush over a woman. Not just any woman. She is a human, and the sister of my enemy. Sure mating with her would be fun, and it's hurt the strawberry." It disturbed him that he thought of her in terms of a mate rather than a quick screw he could just dispose of after he was done, "How could I have hurt her. I hope she made it home ok." Suddenly he was worried, he was not sure if he had left her in good enough condition to walk home. Sure that woman that served them might help her, but he had scared the woman. He had intentionally shot her a warning glance not to interfere, "I'm such an asshole!"
"Hey Ichigo, Where's Rukia anyway?" Renji asked hoping to alleviate some of the tension going around the group.
"Oh, she had a big history test so she stayed in Tokyo to study, I would have stayed too if not for Karin's soccer match yesterday." Ichigo paled at the thought that he might have stayed then his sister might be dead or worse.
"You OK?" Ikkaku sitting next to the strawberry noticed the color drain from his face, "Hey it don't matter what might have happened you were here." Ikkaku slapped his shoulder further driving the horrible thoughts out of the boy's head.
"I still can't believe Rukia is in college, and enjoying it," Renji chuckled. The redhead thought about what kind of strings had to be pulled to get her reassigned to Tokyo, but think of two likely sourced that could have pulled said strings. Byakuya could have done it, but anymore Head Captain Yamamoto was as likely to grant a favor the famous war hero, Ichigo, ‘So much for not showing favoritism.’ He did not care. Rukia and the boy were happy together. He loved her to much to get in the way of her happiness. He just wished he could find someone to make himself happy like that.
The group started to climb down off the roof. Renji put his hand on Hitsugaya's shoulder and stopped the captain. He waited until everybody was out of ear shot.
"So you think she's pretty, Captain?" He had a cocky smile painted on his face.
"What?" Hitsugaya perhaps unaware he had said anything out loud tried to deny it. He was lucky Renji was the only one to hear him.
"Sorry Captain, I thought I had heard you say, 'She's prettier then I remember.'" Renji looked at the captain accusingly. Then he smiled.
"I most certainly do not think she is pretty!" Hitsugaya did not know why it mattered what he thought. He was blushing.
"So you think she's ugly, Captain Hitsugaya?" Renji accused.
"Of course I don't think that!"
"But she's not pretty?" Renji glared at him.
"Well I did not say that, I meant... Abarai where are you trying to lead me," Hitsugaya obviously disturbed at the direction their chat had turned.
"You don't care about her in anyway?"
"No," He said clenching his fists, "Now Lieutenant I think we should go inside."
"Wait, just one more question," Renji almost grinning.
"What!" His face reddened in anger and embarrassment.
"If I asked her out, it would not bother you in the least?"
"I- it would bother Ichigo I don't doubt it," the Capitan hedging the issue was too uncomfortable with the conversation to say anything about the insubordination of his subordinate.
"That's not really an answer to my question," he looked more seriously, "I don't want to tread into your territory, but Karin is very beautiful and I'd like to take her on a date."
"No!" The captain grabbed the man's shirt collar.
"Why, Captain?" Renji smirked.
"I would be highly inappropriate to date the mission target." Hitsugaya thought he had saved himself from admitting anything.
"Well we have to keep an eye on her and what better way than becoming more intimately acquainted, with the mission target. I don't remember any regulations regarding this particular issue," he was right there weren't, "So if you don't care I'm just gonna go check up on Karin."
"Stop!" Hitsugaya shouted. He was probably heard by the whole household, "Don't go near her!"
"Hey captain if it bothers you so much, why don't you go check on her?" Renji smirked. He really enjoyed getting a rise out of the captain, ‘He doesn't have a clue, does he?’
Hitsugaya growled; still not ready to admit to anything. He climbed inside.
"Too, bad I'd like to have had a chance to go out with her she is very pretty," Poor Renji still only had himself, "but if he screws up, I'm gonna let him have it, good!" The man pounded his hand on the hot roof.
Hitsugaya came in to the room to see an excited Hanataro pouring over one of Ichigo's textbooks. Ichigo seemed amused by the 'young' boy's Interest, "you know Hanataro," Hanataro blushed that Ichigo remembered his name, "My dad runs a clinic, you could go down and check it out if you really want to."
Hanataro looked up from the text book, "Really?" He smiled brightly.
"I'll take you down in a minute and introduce you…but first Captain Hitsugaya. Someone is going to have to stay here to watch over Karin," Ichigo paused.
"Not a problem," the man nodded. He was planning on looking in on her anyway.
"I mean that I would like for you, to stay here if possible. I'll talk to my father, but you can use my room." Ichigo eyed him seriously. He did not want to have any boy so close to his sister, but Hitsugaya was the strongest and best able to protect his sister. Also it would have never occurred to unwitting Ichigo that the boy liked his sister, "I have to leave for Tokyo tonight."
"Alright," Hitsugaya sounded unsure but was glad for the offer of a place to stay. The others kind of grumbled that they had to go fend for themselves.
"Come down stairs with me, Hanataro, Captain Hitsugaya. Could you three keep an eye on Karin? We won’t be gone long." Half of the group was left to sit uncomfortably in Ichigo's bedroom.
Isshan Kurosaki was in an examination room, just finishing up with a patient when he heard the clinic door open, "Just a minute, I'm here by myself today," he turned his attention back to a young boy. His mother smiling worriedly, "He will be just fine he only strained his arm. Just keep the sling on and pack it in ice tonight, and," turned a more serious look on the little boy, "No more climbing trees, at least until your arm is better, OK?" The boy nodded in agreement. The doctor smiled and gave him a lollipop.
"Thank-you so much Doctor Kurosaki," the woman cheered up. She kissed her boy's head and then led him back into the waiting room.
The Orange haired boy politely held the door for the two and they exited, "Hey dad! It's just me."
"EEEE-Ichigo! I'm so glad you stopped by!" The man acted as if they had not just eaten breakfast together only a few hours before, "The man attempted to kick his son the boy dodged. The large foot whizzed passed a small dark haired boy's head. The boy gave a yelp. The other boy stared in astonishment at the unusual greeting Kurosaki's father gave his son.
"Who are your friends?" He smiled a friendly way that made the greeting seem all the more out of place.
"This is Hanataro, He is interested in studying medicine, and this is Toshiro Hitsugaya, he is an exchange student. They both go to Karin's school,” Ichigo looked at the children, “They both need a place to stay and Karin had wanted to me to ask you if they could stay here. I would not mind letting them use my room." Hanataro looked terrified, Toshiro only grimaced.
"Of course," He smiled wildly and acted as if the family took strangers into their home free of charge every day. The man took Hanataro by the hand.
The boy panicked, "Gaa!"
"It's OK, Hanataro he's like that with everybody. He's not going hurt you. Hanarato shot a pleading glance at Ichigo, then at Toshiro when he saw no possible rescue he gave up.
"He'll be OK, the old man is weird, but he's nice," Ichigo looked down at a doubtful Captain who despite his coldness felt a pang of pity leaving him to the mercy of an obviously deranged man, "OK, you don't mind sharing the room with Hanataro do you? We can make up an extra futon, but I kinda felt bad for the little guy."
"Then why did you let your father drag him off like that," He looked seriously and the taller boy.
Ichigo chuckled, "you two are gonna have to get used to goat face."
"Goat face?" Toshiro looked confused.
"Yeah he's kinda touchy feely, but he's harmless, and he could use the help in the clinic. Yuzu and Karin have less time to work at the clinic, now," Ichigo explained.
"You seem to remember Hanataro," Hitsugaya looked toward the two now seeming to discussing something animatedly. Hanataro was still blushing, but his eyes were very serious.
"He helped us a few times in the Seireitei, and He saved a friend's life once I never forget things like that. Looks like dad has a new best friend," Ichigo smiled warmly.
"Come on let’s go check Karin, I need to fill her in on things before I leave."
Karin saw blue eyes looking at her. One was cold and haughty, the other cruel and maniacal. Were they the same person? Did they mean anything to her? A smile curled on the lips, she felt teeth sink into her pale neck. She opened her mouth to scream but no sound came out. She felt the evil grin resting on her shoulder, "Your mine, you know." Her eyes shot open she was in the safety of her room. She tried to find her voice she couldn't. A knock came through.
"Karin you alright," She heard her brother. She gasped until she could finally talk.
"I'm f-fine," she whispered to herself, "Just a bad dream."
"Can we come in?" He asked.
"We? Um yeah, come in," The door creaked open.
Ichigo peeked in to see a still disturbed looking Karin, "No, Karin. Are you OK?"
"I just had a bad dream, that's all," She tried to look away but her brother took hold of her face and looked at her sternly.
"Nothing bad is going to happen again, we will make sure of it." Karin finally noticed a nervous looking Toshiro. She realized he was taller than her, but that was only because she had ended up being kind of on the short side. His hair was cropped much closer, she regretted it. He had been so adorable back then she kind of expected him to never change somehow, but Soul-reapers age even if it is much slower then living people age, He passed as fifteen or sixteen, still on the short side, but she was 5' 3".
She colored realizing she was staring at him, he was staring back interestedly, "You have gotten taller since the last time we met." She smiled and looked back at her brother. He saw the look on her eyes and started to have second thoughts about leaving her in his supervision.
"You have aged since we last met," it was not supposed to sound like an insult, but Ichigo's sides hitched. He fell back cackling.
He finally caught his breath enough to say, "You are not going to survive very long here if you keep that up."
Karin glared at Toshiro. ‘Damn! She is beautiful when she is angry,’ He cleared his throat, "I'm sorry I meant no offense." She nodded coolly. ‘Crap! Why do I say things like that? Then I look like a cold jerk. I don't know how to say something nice to her! Gaaa!’ The screaming in his head is masked expertly in his emotionless face, ‘And why should I care. Sure she is pretty. Renji is interested in her. She doesn’t seem to feel that way about him, but how am I supposed to know. Why should I care for that matter? Why does being near her drive me CRAZY?!’ His inward rant continued while brother and sister chatted on. He was lost to them until he heard his name.
"So, Captain Hitsugaya, You and Hanataro will be staying here," She smiled, "Yuzu will be glad to have more people to cook for and Hanataro seems very nice. I owe him for healing me."
‘Now she likes Hanataro?’ There was a little storm cloud over his head.
"What has gotten into you lately Grimmjow?" Ulquiorra asked unemotionally, Grimm hated to admit it but that creepy guy was the closest thing he had to a sympathetic listener. There weren't many of them left in Los Noches anymore. Most having been killed off or scattered to who knows where.
"If it's any of your business, I have a problem," Grimm growled at the dark haired espada.
"One of many," The man was not smiling, but Grimmjow could hear the mocking in his voice.
"Laugh it up, if you even know how to laugh." Grimmjow squinted at the espada that he most often associated with, despite their mutual dislike. Ulquiorra sniffed as if he had an allergy. Grimm continued, "I have fallen in love. I think anyway.”
"That seems unlikely," Ulquiorra wasn't helping.
"With a human."
"What are you saying?" Ulquiorra furrowed his brow.
"Kurosaki's sister. Her name is Karin, and she is beautiful and strong willed." Grimm showed traces of infatuation on his face. The green eyed espada just looked at the man, "you have turned into a spineless quivering jellyfish, over a piece of trash. Get over it. I suggest you just kill her before your situation, our situation gets worse." Ulquiorra was right after the war their numbers dwindled to a sparse few, it did not help that Grimmjow himself liked to kill the weaker arrancar when he got bored. They had survived by keeping a low profile and he was jeopardizing that.
Ulquiorra failed to register Grimmjow's anger until his head made contact with the cold hard ground. "She is not trash!" Ulquiorra was the stronger of the two and quickly turned the tables. He landed blows to Grimm's none too fragile form, but he was causing damage with each connect. The only thing stopping the smaller from killing the larger was the need to keep up their numbers. Ulquiorra left a bruised Grimmjow to think over his words, "If you care about her safety then I suggest you stay in Heuco Mundo and leave her alone, or she will have to be eliminated."
Grimmjow let his thoughts collect, he was going to have to leave Los Noches behind, but wasn't much cause for concern. He actually hated the place. He just worried if the stronger espada intended to follow through with his threats.
