Hey people! Some of you are probably thinking what the hell am I doing posting a new fic when I haven't updated What I Need for so long. Well I've been having killer writer's block on it and this was something I wrote to help, which it has... sort of. I promise What I Need will be updated soon.

So this is a HitsuKarin fic because the pairing has become another one of my obsessions. The inspiration for this came to me when I was watching Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and I just thought, "Screw vampires, those werewolves were kick ass!". So a lot of the things you'll hear later about werewolves are some of my ideas but most are popular myths. Anyways i hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach.

All I could think right now as I hauled one of my suitcases into our new house was that I want to go home.

My name Karin Kurosaki, I'm 15 years old, and I'm being forced to move to a new town and go to a new school. I wouldn't go as far as to say my life sucks, but its seen better days. My dad made us move from Karakura to this place called Seireitei. Something about getting better business for the clinic. My twin sister Yuzu doesn't seem to mind although Ichigo was on my side with this. He didn't want to leave his friends just like me, but he was more willing since Rukia a.k.a his girlfriend was coming too. She kind of had too since she lived with us.

I like Rukia, but sometimes I feel like she took my big brother away. Ever since they got together about three years ago, he was always spending time with her and didn't even bother to come home some times. Of course I'd never admit that out loud. Besides Rukia is really cool and its great having her around and on my side when I have to try and persuade Ichigo about something. After awhile Rukia moved in with us which our dad didn't mind at all. I still don't get him sometimes.

"Karin, quit spacing out! You're blocking the door." I heard Ichigo call behind me.

"Huh?" I turned around and realized I had actually stopped right in the doorway of the front door to the new house. I quickly walked forward and straight up to my room to set down my stuff. The only plus side to moving was that I got my own room. Me and Yuzu got two separate rooms on the second floor while Dad's room was on the first floor. Ichigo and Rukia were sharing a room – yeah, ew – on the second floor with us. I guess it was fine as long as they weren't up all night. Before I actually had to wear earmuffs to block their late night noises.

I had skipped dinner so I could fix up my room the way I wanted. The walls were already painted a light green. The color wasn't my first choice but it was better than Yuzu's which was an unbearable yellow with flowers on the borders. When I was done, I looked over the room pretty satisfied. My furniture was where I wanted and my soccer posters covered over half my room.

Looking at the clock, it was just past 9pm. There would probably still be some food leftover that I could just heat up in the microwave. I was surprised to find everyone still downstairs, they were all on the couch watching TV. On the wall by the dinning table was that giant poster of Mom that Dad had already put up.

"Bout time you came down. We all thought you died up there." Ichigo said upon seeing me come down.

"Sorry to disappoint." I replied sarcastically. I walked into the kitchen to see they had already eaten all the food. "Thanks for saving me some dinner." I stated dryly.

Rukia looked over and gave me a sheepish look. "Sorry Karin. We thought you were in for the night."

"I could make you something if you want." Yuzu offered.

I just shock my head. "Thats alright." I turned around to head back upstairs. "I'm going to bed." I just wanted today to be over already.

"Goodnight Karin!" Dad yelled after me. "And don't forget. You guys got your first day of school tomorrow!" he yelled loudly as though we weren't all in the same room.

Yuzu and Rukia looked pretty happy about school while Ichigo and I groaned. I was not looking forward to school the next day. Tomorrow would officially be my first day in Seireitei.

I was standing in front of an old looking tomb. The doors to the temple looking tomb were wide open but there was only darkness inside. I contemplated whether to go in or not but finally curiosity got the best of me. Walking through the doorway, each step I took made an eerie creak from the wooden floor. I looked behind me and five other figures followed in suit. One of the figures lit a candle but even then I couldn't see their faces.

I looked around the empty cellar like room but there was literally nothing but dust. "See," I called to the others. "There is nothing here. It is just a legend to scare away small children."

The others behind me murmured their agreements and we turned around to leave the small tomb. Suddenly my foot fell through one of the cracked floorboards. The bottom of my foot hit something hard that I knew wasn't the ground underneath the structure. I pulled my leg out the hole and l tried to look inside. The others came back with the candle so we could try and see what was under the floor. We began pulling up the wood, board by board. After awhile there was a gaping hole in the tomb floor and inside it was a casket.

I stared at it for a few moments before crawling down the hole next to it. I brushed off the dust that was resting on the lid of the stone coffin. The others jumped down with me into the hole. On the top of it was what looked like an inscription.

One of the figures nudged me. "What does it say? You are the only one who can read." said a guy.

I glanced it over without actually reading it. "Its a warning." I stated.

"A warning? Then maybe we should listen and leave before we get in trouble." this time a girl stated.

"Yeah, I mean. We proved its here. We do not need to do anything that could get us hurt." a different but female voice said.

"Get us hurt? We have yet to do anything. Besides, we still need to see if he is really in there before we leave." said another guy.

"Just read it then we will take a quick look inside." reasoned a different male.

I nodded at the figures and looked down at the epigraph. I said it out loud as I read it.

Hari Mingan

He who seeks gifts, shall die where thy stand,

He who bares gifts, shall see morrow,

He who bares in vain, shall take my curse,

He who is sincere, shall accept my blessing,

Both blessing and curse are one in the same,

As immortality shall cause thy burdens,

Disturb thy rest and rue this day,

Til the damned finds true acceptance,

But those who dare accept the accursed,

Shall perish til thy sin is forgotten,

Lest my malediction be lifted,

Both shall live the lives of a wretch.

As I finished reading the script I noticed how deadly silent my companions had gotten. I turned to see them all in deep thought. Most likely trying to decide whether to open the casket or not.

"It says we'll die if we didn't bring gifts." said a girl.

"Well then we will just give it something. Who has anything worth value?" asked one of the guys.

The six of us looked to each other. No one had anything. I looked down and remembered the necklace that my grandmother had given me. It was a pure silver four-pointed star on an old rusted chain. It was the only thing we had. I sighed and took the chain from around my neck. "We can use this." I stated somewhat begrudgingly.

"Are you sure?" the same girl asked. "Your Grandmother gave that to you."

I shrugged at her. "If I don not, we all die right?" I set it down on top of the stone coffin. As soon as it left my hand it seemed to melt into the stone. We all took an involuntary step back., but I could not back down now. My hands rested on the edge of the lid as I readied myself to push. "Alright, help me push the lid off."

We all grabbed an edge and began to push and pull. Once the lid was removed we all looked into the casket. We gasped at what we saw.

"So it is true." breathed one of the figures.

Inside was a skeleton easily five times the size of us. But what was the most shocking was it was that of a wolf-like figure. The skull was huge with sharp teeth sticking out, long claws protruding from it's – what we assumed – its paws. It had a thick spinal cord that shrunk into the tail, a wide rib cage and long legs that looked like they could run for miles on end. As scary as the sight was and as crazy as I felt thinking it, I had the urge to get closer to the creature as though a force was drawing me in.

There was no doubt. This was the skeleton of Hari Mingan.

A sudden gust of wind picked up but from where we didn't know. It was powerful, to the point where we had to duck down as to not get knocked over. I grabbed onto the coffin to pull myself up while still fighting the insanely strong wind. My eyes widened when I realized it was all coming from the casket. I looked in and began to tremble with the unmistakable feeling of fear that washed over me. The skeleton was starting to grow flesh. The others did the same as me and saw the skeleton soon come to life.

"We need to get out of here!" I yelled to the others. Before I could move, the creature grabbed onto my arm. It's claws dug into my skin as I tried to pull away. The group of five came to my side and held onto me as they tried to pry the fleshy claw off me. The creature sat up and looked at all of us before letting out and ear shattering howl which seemed to shake the whole tomb.

There was no skin or fur to cover the exposed flesh that hung off it's bones. It bared it's sharp long teeth as a low constant growl was heard from it's throat. The flesh was rotted, bloody, and smelled horrifically. It's eyes were fire red that stiffened us all with one look. The long claws that were still digging into my right bicep pulled me closer to the casket. I could see my blood soaking through the sleeve of my shirt and felt the sharp pain constantly jolt through my shoulder. It pulled me close until I was face to face with the wolf-like creature. It opened it's mouth wide as though it were going to swallow me whole. I quickly closed my eyes, not wanting to see what was about to happen next.

"No!" I screamed as shot up from my sleep. I looked around to see that I was in my room and let out a sigh of relief. That was some scary dream... or nightmare... or whatever it was. It just felt so real, like it really happened. It wasn't a normal dream, thats for sure. It was more like I was watching it happen rather than me actually doing anything. I subconsciously rubbed my upper arm thinking about it. I looked at my clock and practically fell out of bed. It was freaking 8:00am! School started in 30 minutes!

I quickly ran into the bathroom and did the morning necessities. I put on a pair of shorts that reached a little above my knees and a t-shirt that was 2 sizes too small, but it was the only shirt that wasn't still packed. Why was it so small? Over the years I happened to develop boobs. Who would've thought? At least we didn't have to wear uniforms like in Karakura. I quickly combed threw my black hair which just barely touched my shoulders. Once I was done and ran downstairs I saw everyone was already gone. Those bastards! They didn't even bother to wake me up.

I ran all the way to the damn school and was still late. I walked through the empty halls looking for my classroom. That was something that was the same though. We had the same classroom and teacher all day instead of having a different room and teacher for each class. Here we only changed rooms to go to gym. That slightly annoyed me. That meant if the teacher or the students were a pain in the ass, I'd have to deal with them all day. On the sheet of paper the lady in the office gave me was the number to the room I was standing outside of.

I let out a sigh and opened the door. I walked into the room and apparently interrupted what the teacher was saying because now every eye was on me. Great. I ignored the entire class, not bothering to even look at them. I was just hoping I could give the teacher my note and go to a seat without any incident. The teacher looked at paper.

"I see, you're the other Kurosaki I was expecting." the man said smiling at me.

The other? Did I have the same class as Yuzu? I looked around the room trying to find my light haired twin but instead saw my orange haired older brother. Ichigo? And Rukia? What the hell was I doing in the same room as them? Then it hit me. I had signed up for advanced classes so I wouldn't have to deal with brats my own age. Not my smartest moment. So now they put me in a class full of kids older than me and whats worse, I got it with my idiot brother and his girlfriend.

I looked at the rest of the room. There were some odd ones. One guy had the brightest shade of red I've ever seen for hair. It was in a pineapple ponytail and he had some crazy tribal tattoos on his forehead. There was also some chick with blonde hair and boobs that were bigger than that Orihime girl's back in Karakura! There was a bald guy whose head was blinding me and some weird person next to him. I didn't know if it was a girl or a boy but they had these feather things on their eye. Yes, I got a class full of older freaks.

The only ones who looked about my age were a boy and a girl. The girl was cute, she had dark brown hair in some bun cloth thing. She was sitting next to the boy. He had the craziest hair yet. It was white! But I had to admit that it looked pretty cool the way it just defied gravity and all. He turned his head in my direction and I think I almost jumped when I saw his eyes. They were a deep teal color that just stunned me. To be honest, everything about him just screamed drop-dead gorgeous. But being me, I wouldn't let that make be swoon over the guy or any guy for that matter. I had more class than that. But when he was looking at me I couldn't help but feel self-conscious for the first time.

I suddenly became aware of how small my shirt really was. Over half the guys were staring and didn't even bother to hide it. Shameless bunch of dogs.

"I'm Mr. Ukitake. How about you introduce yourself to the class." he said still smiling. What is this kindergarten? Who makes someone in high school introduce themselves in front of everyone.

I sighed again, and had a feeling I would being doing that a lot today. "I'm Karin Kurosaki." I drawled. If I didn't sound eager to be here, he might let me go.

"Tell us something about yourself." he continued. Seriously if this was kindergarten let me know, cause I was in the class if it was.

"Uh..." I stopped to think. "I play soccer." I threw out hoping he would just let me sit down already.

"And how are you liking Seireitei so far?" When will it end?!

"It sucks ass." I snapped. I couldn't stand being here anymore. The class broke out into laughter at my response while Ichigo gave me a look which I could only assumed meant 'Whats your problem?'. My response would be 'Life'.

The teacher just chuckled and shook his head still freaking smiling. Did anything get on this guy's nerves? If my language wasn't going to get me kicked out then I had better start practicing my seizure act.

Mr. Ukitake was looking for a place for me to sit while I stood in front of the room waiting. As long as I didn't get stuck in the front I wouldn't mind where. Suddenly my stomach growled. Ugh. I was so late I didn't have time to get breakfast and on top of that, I didn't have dinner last night. I quickly glances around to see if anyone heard my stomach complain to me but not even the teacher noticed. Although when I looked at the class, about six of them were chuckling under their breath. Well five. The sixth one which happened to be Whitey – thats what I'm calling him til I know his name – was just looking at me with amusement in his eyes. Had they heard that?

"Theres an empty seat in the back if you don't mind being back there." Thank you! You are now my favorite teacher of all time!

"Its fine."

The back was my safe haven. I didn't have to worry about people throwing stuff at the back of my head or someone staring at me like a stalker. Hell, I could probably even get some sleep back here. Best thing to happen to me all day.

I wish I could say lunch came soon but it didn't. Lunch was so late here! We had class all day, then lunch, then P.E. and then we go home. The schedule seemed to work out comfortably for the teachers but not the students.

Lunch was crazy. It was so crowded and we weren't allowed to go outside. They crammed us all in a stuffy little cafeteria. I looked around for an open table and saw Yuzu waving for me to come over. I went to the table and sat next to Yuzu and across from Ichigo and Rukia. They were talking to two guys. One had black hair and the other had blonde.

"Karin, why is your shirt so small?" Yuzu asked me while I was zoned out.

"I was in a bit of a rush." I replied irritably.

"You're not eating lunch today?"

Oh I was going to eat all right. "Well I didn't have time to get any money since some people didn't bother to wake me up this morning!" Ichigo and Rukia looked at me. That got their attention. "So I'm just gonna starve myself."

"We tried to wake you up but your door was locked and you wouldn't answer so we just thought you were ignoring us." Ichigo defended.

"Well you guys still owe me for eating everything last night so I'm entitled to one thing from each of your lunches." I declared smoothly. Rukia handed me a sandwich, Ichigo gave me a juice, and Yuzu gave me a muffin. Ha ha, I always win.

I was about to stuff the muffin in my mouth when I felt the floor shaking. An earthquake? I looked up and my jaw dropped. It was a stampede of students all running over to six familiar people from my class. The ones that were snickering and one of them was Whitey. Well, I actually couldn't say one of them because he seemed to be the leader. He was the youngest and shortest – a few inches taller than me – out of all of them and they were all following him. The other students were trying to talk to the Spectacular Six – my name for them – but they just seemed to brush them off. It was like what you see on TV. I didn't think girls actually tried to mob the hot guys or guys would wait hand and foot for the hot girls.

I wouldn't deny they were all good looking and seemed like cool people to be around. In some cases that could be an understatement. I turned to the blonde that Ichigo and Rukia were talking to earlier. "Izuru right?" I tried to make sure I got his name right. He nodded. "Why is everyone and their mothers trying to tackle those guys." I asked pointing to the Spectacular Six.

He followed where I pointed. "They're the most popular kids in school." he explained. "Everyone wants to get in good with them."

"Why? Whats so great about them?"

"Because," I could only imagine he paused for emphases. "They're perfect." he stated simply as if that was all there was to it.

I scoffed. "Right, they're the image of perfection."

"Think about it. They're good looking, the best in the school at every sport even though they don't play on any of the teams, and they're geniuses." I raised an eyebrow at the last one and he explained. "If you see them in class, you'll see they all sleep the entire time but they have the best grades out of anyone."

I might actually see if he's on to anything with that one. Of course it could just be that everyone else were idiots.

I looked at Izuru for him to continue. "Its kind of weird. They're like a family or something." That I could believe. They were all talking away with each other as though the world around them didn't exist and nothing could touch them.

I looked back over to them. They were all sitting at a table talking. And eating, a lot. They could give Ichigo the human garbage disposal a run for his money. I've never seen anyone eat more than Ichigo. I turned back to blondie. "Are they related?"

He shook his head. "They all came here at the same time last year and are always together but none of them are relatives. They don't come to school together so they probably don't live with each other either."

"The one with the red hair is Renji Abarai." Izuru identified. The cocky look on Renji's face reminded me of Ichigo. "The bald one is Ikkaku Madarame and the guy next to him is Yumichika Ayasegawa." So it was a guy. The feathers threw me off for a second but I can kind of see it now. "The blonde girl is Rangiku Matsumoto and the brunette is Momo Hinamori. The last guy with the white hair is Toushiro Hitsugaya, hes like the head of the group."

So I was right. Toushiro was the leader of the Spectacular Six. It was easy to tell with the way he carried himself and how he just seemed to hold that position in front of them. It was kind of weird yet cool. "Why is Toushiro the boss?"

He shrugged. "No one knows why they all follow him but if you ever hang around them, its not that weird. Its like some dominant thing. Plus, Toushiro is the most popular out of them all." I wonder why. He must of saw my curiosity because he explained. "Girls like him especially." Not hard to believe. He was pretty hot. "Out of the other five, hes the quietest and has that whole mysterious thing going on which a lot of girls are into. But no girl can get within 10 feet of him because of Momo. They don't go out, but she is really possessive of him. Anyway, over half the girls in the school would do anything to go out with him and the guys to be his friend."

Now that I thought about it, there was a lot of logic behind what he was saying. If the things he said about them were true, then it wasn't hard to believe that they were actually that popular.

I finished my lunch as me and Yuzu talked about our classes. She thought I was lucky to have the same class as Ichigo and Rukia. Poor misguided sister of mine. I stood up and grabbed my trash. Everyone else was also done with there lunches so I thought I'd be nice. I took up their trash with mine and threw it in the garbage.

I turned around only to slip on some milk that was on the floor. Just my luck. I closed my eyes as I fell forward but instead of hitting the floor like I thought I would, I stayed in the air. I felt two hands on my waist holding me up so I opened my eyes. I didn't look up to see who caught me out of embarrassment.

"You okay?" asked the silky smooth voice.

Still not looking up I answered. "Uh... yeah. Thanks."

And when I thought things couldn't get worse, I was proved horribly wrong. A guy who was walking by bumped into me, causing me to loose my balance. All I could think was 'Really?'. So I closed my eyes and went falling forward again, but this time I made it to the floor. Kind of. I fell on top of the guy who caught me, which actually broke my fall pretty well. I opened my eyes to see brilliantly bright teal eyes only inches away. I was face to face with none other than Toushiro Hitsugaya.

Okay, not to sound like a total fangirl but, Oh My God. Not that I'd ever admit it out loud but he looked even better up close. I couldn't quite tell the expression on his face. He looked annoyed which was to be expected since I was on him but it wasn't directed at me. It was more like he was having an argument with himself or something. Suddenly he cringed like someone just blew an air horn directly in his ear. Yeah, he was kind of weird.

I felt the creepiest feeling like something moving was under my skin until I looked up and saw why. Surrounding us were more girls than I could count, all glaring at me. It was times like this I was thankful that looks couldn't kill. And what were they glaring at me for? So I fell on him, big deal.

Well thats what I thought until I looked down and saw the position we were actually in. I was on his waist straddling him, my hands were resting on his chest while his were still on my hips. Not the best situation. I could feel my face heat up when I realized how this must've looked to everyone.

"What are you doing on top of Shiro!" yelled a high pitch voice that sounded like nails on a chalk board. This time I cringed and Toushiro groaned. I looked up and saw that it was Momo. She seemed different from earlier though. Before she had a soft sweet voice and looked about as kind-hearted as Yuzu, but now she looked ready to tear my head off.

The bell rang and that was my cue to leave. I quickly jumped off Toushiro and stood up abruptly. Without bothering to look back I pushed my way through the angry girls and left the cafeteria to go to gym. P.E. was outside which I was thankful for. I really needed the fresh air after how embarrassing lunch was. Although I was getting a lot of glares from girls but mostly Hinamori. Izuru wasn't kidding about her being possessive.

When school was over and I got home the first thing I did was fall out on the living room couch.

"Welcome home my children! How was your first day of school!" Why couldn't he just shut up for once? I groaned and covered my ears as Dad started asking question about the school and if we made any friends.

Rukia sat down on the couch next to me. "Hey Karin." I looked up at her. "Who was that guy from lunch?" My eyed widened. Crap, she saw that.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I lied. At this point Dad, Yuzu, and Ichigo were all looking at me.

Rukia smiled at me suggestively. "You know, the guy you were on top of in the cafeteria. The one with the white hair."

Why Rukia! What had I ever done to you?! Dad and Ichigo looked at me and my now red face only confirmed what she just said.

Now Ichigo was heated. "What?! Who was this guy? I'll kill 'em!"

God and now Dad was started. "KARIN! HAVE YOU NO SHAME! I didn't move us here so you could jump boys!"

I punched Dad in the face to shut him up. "It wasn't like that!" But of course they didn't listen. They started going on about me and boys. I glared over at Rukia. She apparently didn't expect that reaction from the two because she gave me an apologetic look.

The first day here in Seireitei was worse than I what I expected but at least it was over. Compared to today, the rest of the year should be a piece of cake.
