Toshiro and Karin had been avoiding each other for a little over 3 weeks and Toshiro had, had enough. He walked into the 11th squad training grounds and found Karin training with one of the new recruits. He didn't want to interrupt so he leaned back against the wall, folded his arms and waited patiently. Karin was going all out on the poor new recruit, she never did hold back. He watched as she kicked the poor guy back into a wall. He quickly flash-stepped out of the way as she ran her sword through the wall where he had previously been standing. The recruit panted and looked up at him.

"Captain Hitsugaya!" He said and he bowed. He pushed off the wall and sighed. He quite likes watching her fight.

"You're dismissed." The recruit nodded quickly and hurried out looking relieved. Karin looked at him and blushed slightly as she put her sword back in its sheath.

"I was fighting him," she said, putting her hand on her hips. She refused to show that she was embarrassed.

"We need to talk."

"About what?"

"About this dumb prank war. If you just apologize and give back my paperwork, we can move on." She frowned at him and folded her arms.

"I don't have it." He scowled at her.

"I know it was you, so you don't have to keep this act up."

"For the last time, I don't know what you're talking about! I didn't take your stupid paperwork!" She was pretty irritated now but so was he.

"I just wanna move past this so just give it back." Her eye twitched.

"Why would I lie about your dumb paperwork!?"

"You tell me!"

"I wouldn't!" She yelled as she stomped out. But he followed after her.

"It was already due! Just give it back and we won't have to talk about this anymore!" She walked into her room and spun around to glare at him.

"Toshiro Hitsugaya, get out of my room." She said as she pushed him out and slammed the door in his face. So that's how it felt.

He couldn't believe he was going to use his last resort. A plan he wished not to use at all. But it's what he has to do to get her to return the lost paperwork, or else Head Captain Shunsui will tease him, treat him like a kid and then Ise will scold him for not handing in his paperwork on time. He does not want to go through that experience again. Once is already enough. He would have handed it in time if it weren't for Karin who decided to take his paperwork and still not willing to give it back.

Right after Karin slammed the door in his face, he went around the outside of her room to find an open window that leads you into her bathroom. He saw stream coming out of the window meaning Karin is in the shower. This is a perfect chance.

Toshiro sneaked in through the window and saw her clothes at the side inside the basket. He checked Karin first to see if she was still in the shower, she was, he could see the outline of her body through the curtain, her long legs and big- okay that was a mistake. He quickly looked away with a red face. An image of naked Karin laying on his bed making sounds of pleasure appeared in his mind.

He brushed the image away and took her clothes and went to her room, He froze the rest of her clothes, making sure she would have to stay in her room and freeze. He then quickly sneaked back through the same window.

Operation success.

Karin has finished showering and came out with a towel wrapped around her body. When she went to the basket where she placed the new clothes, she noticed there was nothing inside. She searched around the bathroom, hoping she'd misplaced her clothes but no, they really were gone. She started to panic. 'Where on earth did they go?' She knows none of the 11th squad men would dare to steal her clothes knowing it's like asking for a death wish. Then, one person came in her mind.

"TOSHIRO HITSUGAYA!" Everyone around the area heard her scream as she stomped into her room only to be hit with a blast of cold air. She looked around and saw that all of her clothes were frozen. 'You've gotta be kidding me,' she thought as she scowled. 'Does he really think this will stop me?' She then slammed her door open and stomped out holding the towel against her form tightly. She made her way to his office not caring if people gave her weird looks or checking her out. She slammed his door open and growled.

"Where are my clothes!?" He looked up at the angry woman surprised to see her. He looked her over and turned bright red seeing she was still in a towel.

"W-what are you doing!?" He stuttered as he watched some water drip off her hair to her neck and slide down her creamy skin in between her cleavage. Toshiro cleared his throat as he turned his head away, trying to control himself to not jump her right there and then.

Karin saw how uncomfortable he was, she noticed he couldn't take his eyes off of her especially her cleavage. This gave her an idea. She smirked.

"You took my clothes just to see me naked hah?" Karin leaned in, giving him a clear view of her cleavage.

"O-Of course not! W-Why would I want to see you naked!?" Toshiro immediately stood up, turning his whole body away from her.

"I dunno maybe because you broke into my room and made all my clothes unwearable."

"Well, that's not why I took your clothes!"

"Well, it's either give them back or tell me where you put that box of lingerie is, I can't walk around in a towel forever!"

"I'm not giving them back until you tell me where you put my paperwork!" He turned around glared at her. She glared back.

"For the last time… I DID NOT STEAL YOUR PAPERWORK!"

"Then, you aren't getting your clothes back." Toshiro looked down and saw her large breasts that looked so soft and warm. He swallowed his saliva, they looked as if they're begging him to touch them. When Toshiro felt his hand twitch, he came back from his fantasy and quickly held himself back. "A-Anyway, you need to leave right now. You are distracting me." Toshiro sat back down. He did shoo-shoo gesture to her, telling her to leave the office.

"I'm distracting you, huh?" Karin smirked.

"I-I don't mean it that way!" Toshiro watched Karin slowly walked around his desk almost enticed by it, and sat on the edge of his desk, making the towel slide up. He stared at her long creamy legs shining with water droplets, he then trailed his eyes from the bottom to the upper thigh, he licked his lips at the inviting sight.

Karin noticed his eyes darkened so she decided to take this further, wondering how far can she go before he snapped. She widened her legs, giving him a small peek of what is under her towel. He glanced down and bit the inside of his cheek.

"Where are my clothes?" She asked softly and leaned towards him pushing her boobs up to make them look bigger. He forced himself to look at her face, he took in every detail. From the way, her wet hair framed her face to her soft pink lips.

"Where's my paperwork?" He asked forcing his voice to be steady. Her eye twitches slightly.

"Fine." She said standing up and walking to the couch "I'll wait," she laid down on the couch and put her arms behind her head letting the towel loosen slightly. He quickly stood up and walked over.

"No, get out."

"Clothes." She crossed her legs and closed her eyes, He frowned down at her. He didn't know how much longer he could deal with this before he lost it.

"Then just hand over the paperwork," she ignored him and shifted on the couch making the towel become even looser. That was his breaking point. He crouched down and grabbed her chin turning her head towards him before he kissed her. Her eyes flew open and looked at him. He pulled away and looked at her with his eyes half-lidded. "I hate you..."

"Your word is telling me one thing but your mouth is telling me another thing," she said as she propped up on her elbows and kissed him. He quickly kissed back and pulled her up so she was facing up. The towel slipped off her and the door slammed open.

"Captain~" Matsumoto called as she saw them and her eyes widened. "Oh my." She said as she put her hand over her mouth and giggled. Both of their heads snapped in her direction and blushed bright red. The temperature in the room started to drop quickly.

"Get out." He growled dangerously as Karin scrambled to cover herself. Matsumoto flash-stepped away off to find Momo probably. Toshiro stood up and walked over to his desk and opened a drawer, he pulled out her clothes and tossed them to her. She quickly got dressed and tosses the towel down. He looked at her and frowned.

"Eh, that's not the look I would like to get after kissing someone…"

"Did you do it just to get your clothes back or did you mean it?" She was taken aback by this and frowned.

"What kind of girl do you think I am Toshiro?" He folded his arms and scowled.

"You tease and flirt just like that with other guys… I've seen it." She sighed and put her hands on her hips.

"Toshiro, I never let those guys touch me if I didn't like you why would I let you touch me?"

"I don't know. Maybe because you want your clothes back. Is it not the whole purpose of this?"

"A bit of this was to get you to give me back my clothes but really… I did it because... I like you..." Karin blushed, looking shy that is hard to believe this is Karin.

"What?" Toshiro's eyes widened, surprised by her confession. "Really?" He whispered, hoping he didn't mishear her.

"Yes, you idiot. It's okay if you don't feel the same way! We can pretend this didn't happen and go back to the way things are!" Karin started to rambled. Didn't see Toshiro step closer to her and hugged her. "Toshiro..."

"You're denser than I thought." Toshiro weakly laughed as he buried his nose into her hair, smelling her vanilla and cherry scent. He pulled back and saw Karin had an adorable confused look.

"I like you too." He gave a special smile to Karin. A smile he never showed to anyone, not even Matsumoto or his sister, Momo, only to Karin. At hearing those exact words coming out of his mouth, Karin's eyes shined with happiness, happy to know he replicates her feelings. She closed the gap and kissed him and he gladly kissed back, putting all their emotions into the kiss.

After a few minutes, they pulled back and leaned their foreheads on each other.

"Karin." Toshiro softly spoke, as he looked at Karin who had her eyes closed, taking in the warmth and comfortable feelings from his reiatsu.

"Hm?"

"Where is the paperwork?"

Karin felt a huge tick on her forehead. Of course, he would ruin this romantic moment. Typically Toshiro. But again, it's one of the things she likes about him.

"If you didn't keep interrupting me, you would know it was Rukia who sent the paperwork to Captain Kuchiki."

"But I remember giving the paperwork to you when you offered to deliver it for me."

"Yeah, then I gave it to Rukia who offered to deliver it to her brother for me."

The realisation hit them like a ton of bricks thrown at them.

"That damn Rukia..." Karin glared at the name.

"I'm sorry Karin for not believing you." Now knowing who was the true culprit, Toshiro looked down, ashamed at himself for not believing his now-girlfriend.

"It's okay." Karin smiled, knowing he didn't mean it. "But there is something you could make it up to me." Toshiro looked up and saw a glint in her eyes.

"How do I make it up to you?" He smugly smiled, already liking where this is going. Karin leaned in, next to his ear and whispered into his ear. Toshiro quickly scooped her up and flash-stepped into his room to do the do.

Rukia stood outside of tenth squad's office with the lost paperwork in her hand. She took a deep breath and sharply knocked on the door.

"Come in." So Rukia did, entered the office and saw Toshiro, as usual, doing his paperwork but seem happier than before.

"Captain Hitsugaya. I got your paperwork here"

"Where were they?"

"In my office, sir." Rukia felt very embarrassed to admit to the captain.

"Thank you, I've been looking for them."

"Actually... " Toshiro looked at her, waiting. "It was me who hid that paperwork!"

"What?!"

"I did it because I was pissed off with Renji and I wanted revenge. So, I asked Lieutenant Kusajishi to draw some drawings for me and I used that to replace the paperwork I took from Karin that you gave her, which I didn't know it was yours." Rukia continued rambling about how she didn't mean this to happen, she tried to tell Toshiro and Karin about the truth and felt very guilty, whilst she kept bowing down to show how sorry she is.

"Enough." Toshiro held his hand out, interpreting her rambling. Rukia gulped when she saw Toshiro glaring at her harshly. "So, it was you hiding my paperwork this whole time."

"Y-Yes, sir!" Rukia felt thousands of bullets of sweat coming down on her face, nervous about what is going to happen to her.

"For your punishment..." Rukia hung on his words, praying to God that it wouldn't involve her getting frostbite, have a heavy rock on her lap or anything that comes with pain. "You have to complete all paperwork by the time I come back,"

"That's all?" Rukia blinked twice. Shocked at the punishment he is giving her, only a pile of paperwork to sign. She is not complaining. She sighed in relief, glad it is only one pile to do. She can do this in an hour.

"No." Rukia's froze. 'What?'

"It includes them," Toshiro took out paperwork from under his desk.

So three piles, that's okay. Easy to finish completely before he comes back.

"And them." Toshiro pulled another out from the floor.

5 piles… Still bearable, she guessed.

"Also," Toshiro took two piles out from the ceiling.

7 piles… Okay, that might be difficult to do.

"And one last thing." They heard a knock on the door. "Come in." The door opened and it revealed a huge pile of paperwork shyly touching the ceilings. All of the color left her face.

"I find the paperwork that Matsumoto hides." Rukia was shocked to see the person who was behind the paperwork. It was Karin.

"Karin?!" Rukia watched Karin placed the pile on the floor next to the others, speechless to Karin and Toshiro aren't at each other's throats. "Eh? What?! I thought you guys were at a prank war with each other. You weren't liking and, and..." Rukia's brain blew up, unable to take any of this new information.

"We were until yesterday." Karin and Toshiro glanced at each other and shared a smile.

"Yesterday? What happened-?"

"Now, if you'll excuse me Kuchiki. I have an important date." With that, Toshiro held his girlfriend's hand and then flash-stepped to begin their first date. Rukia smiled how adorable they looked together, then turned around and saw mountains of piles of paperwork she had to complete before he returns from his date as her punishment. She sighed and got right to work, preparing herself for the hellish torture and to lose her hand.
