Chapter 1:

Strange Dreams & The Perfect Day of School

She had the same dream almost every night. It never failed.

She was on the soccer field. She looked around seeing it was covered in snow, and the tree seemed to be decorated by icicles hanging delicately. She would feel the goosebumps cover her skin sending chills down her spine. Karin Kurosaki looked dow and saw she was wearing the same as she did when she had this dream: a black base kimono with brilliant red design of a dragon spread across the silk cloth and in the red sash a black sheathed sword with two silver bells hanging from the red hilt. She could could distinctly remember the silk slid on her skin with every movement she did, and the cold snow seemed to melt a litle in between her toes of her bare feet, though she didn't feel the coldness. Her silky raven hair was loose, free to be controlled by the wind. Karin tried to get a closer look at her surroundings, but she when she tried a cold wind blew into her face.

To shield her eyes form the wind, she turned around. A pure white wolf with eyes the color of the sea and teeth as white as the snow that surrounded her was making it's way towards her. She stared at the canine, admiring it's beauty but fully aware of the damage and pain it could cause but even when she first laid eyes on the white wolf, like now, she didn't fear it in fact she felt safe with the creature.

The teal eyed creature stood there before her "Toshi-" she would say but the wolf would bark in playfulness before she finished. Karin simply smiled as she peered into the eyes of the graceful animal and sat beside it. She looked up to it, it was huge even on all fours it was about as big as a person, and without saying a thing invited it to sit beside her.

"Toshi" as she calls him, looked at her quizzically (if that were possible) and she swore it shrugged and laid beside her and in response she would lay her head on his stomach. She looked to Toshi and saw it as looking up at the sky, and instead of asking what it was looking as simply looked to the sky with the canine. Neither made a sound just we happy in each others presence. But the peace wouldn't last long.

The sky Karin and Toshi gazed upon turned to a gruesome black and they were no longer on the soccer field but in an instant were in a forest. Karin would get up only to see a black panther with piercing blood red eyes and appeared to be in flames snarl and approach her and Toshi.

The white canine beside her jumped and stood powerfully in front of Karin, and snarled at the menacing feline. The Panther would let out a roar and suddenly in the shadows of the trees that encircled them more red eyes opened revealing they were surrounded.

Karin reached for her sword and unsheathed it, the metal of the weapon gleamed in the moonlight and the only sound were the two bells of the hilt.

She and Toshi jumped in harmony as the many panthers showed them self from the shadows. "Your gonna be ok?" she whispered, there was silence but she knew, she just knew he agreed. A different panther came from behind Karin and pounced. Karin's sharp skills could sense it and was ready for it, sending her sword into the feline's stomach. She saw from the corner of her eye Toshi going after the leader. Another one came from the shadows, there were hundreds every where. Two came from behind her, she elbowed the one making the it fly back and knock down others who might have interfered. The other bit onto her arm, but ignoring the pain she used her sword and punctured it on the stomach then shook it of of her. She only grinned and continued to tear down their defenses as the previously knocked down came back. Soon they seemed to retreated, but she saw they only made a path. Her dark onyx eyes followed said path to a figure standing tall on a tree, the moon shining behind him shading his pale face. She could make out some features... swept back hair, with a strand hanging in his face, chiseled chin, and a aura that screamed he was not one to play with.

Suddenly she felt a pain in her stomach, her eyes went wide. He was fast, so fast she couldn't see it when he moved towards her. Karin could feel it... the cold steel of a sword pierced her skin and slid into her through to her back. Her eyes moved from the now empty spot to the wielder of the sword behind her. She looked down, seeing the Katana appear from her stomach with her own blood on it.

"Checkmate." she could hear the man say unemotionally, but calm.

"Karin!" she would hear in a deep husky voice. She turned to see it was Toshi. Karin opened her mouth to talk but no words followed through only blood. The man twisted the sword in her, but she could barley feel the pain, like it was distant..

"Karin! Karin!" it was getting louder and filled with worry, but to Karin it sounded muffled, "KARIIIIIN!" Toshi said with a howl. And with a thud, she fell to the cold floor.

Karin jumped up, covered in sweat and panting hard. She spun her head around and realized she was in her room. She looked to the digital clock on the table at the side of her bed. She sighed as it glowed 5:27 am in red. Knowing she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep Karin peeled the covered off her sweaty skin and got into the shower to wash away her dream.

"What a great way to start the first day of school" Karin said sarcastically to herself. She let the warm water hit her back as she tried to push the memory of the dream out of her head but she failed as the thought of "Toshi" as she called him. Only because that's all she heard of his name, or remembered of it... she knew his name in the dream but she always forgot it by the time she came to her senses when she woke up.

Frustrated, Karin turned off the water, wrapped her towel around herself, walked out and began to change into her stupid school uniform. In middle school and grade school she didn't have to wear uniforms but by high school they did. Karin hated skirts with burning passion, but rules were rules... no matter how much she hated them, unlike her fraternal twin sister, Yuzu.

Yuzu was awake by now and getting ready as well. She was excited to wear the uniform saying they were cute and exchanging squeals with Rukia, their brother's fiance, who visits often, I guess Ichi-nii tells her to come and check up on us. After he moved out he didn't come around as much. He's just busy, I understand... most of the time. Wouldn't hurt for him to come along and see us too ya' know.

Said strawberry had moved out after a fight with their father about never being home and moved in with Rukia. Of course he was 17 and was moving out either way when he was 18, which was a month from then. That was about 2 years ago anyway. In that time he proposed to Rukia, who punched him when he asked and said yes. Karin didn't want to admit it but she secretly felt abandoned. When he was here Ichigo would leave for days never letting any of them know when he'd be back or if he was even safe. Karin would always have to comfort a crying Yuzu, and had to deal with a crazy father on her own. Karin was worried to, but never showed. She understood now he had a wife and a life now, doing Kami know what, but that doesn't mean she didn't miss him half the time. Of course she would never let him know, or anyone for that matter.

Karin looked in the mirror and brushed her long thick hair,which was mid way to her back by now, in a slightly messy but presentable ponytail. She noticed her dark, raven hair and plum eyes made her skin seem kinda pale, but struggled as she fiddled with tying her bow on her hair. Karin hated makeup but only wore eye liner only at the bottom of her eyes, but that was rarely also. She had trouble with the red bow required by her school that was under her green collar, pulled down her stupid skirt, trying to cover her legs as much as possible, and straightened her white shirt.

She jumped down stairs to see Yuzu serving scrambled eggs to her father's plate. Isshin looked up and saw Karin. 3..2..1.. Karin counted down mentally and right one cue...

"OH MY DARLING DAUGHTER! YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR UNI-" but before she could finish his sentence Karin kicked him in the stomach. He fell to the floor rolling in pain.

"Oh! Outu-san are you ok?" Yuzu asked hovering over him worriedly and telling Karin to not hurt him this morning.

He, amazingly, ignored the pain and ran to the poster of their deceased mother, Masaki. "OH MASAKI OUR CHILDREN ARE GROWING UP! IF ONLY YOU WERE HERE TO SEE THEM HEAD OF TO HIGH SCHOOL ALREADY SO BEAU-" but again he was interrupted by Karin hitting him up side his head with her book bag.

"Damn dad it's too early to be annoying! Go back to sleep..." she looked to Yuzu, she had grown as well. Yuzu started looking more and more like their mother. Like karin's Yuzu's hair grew to mid-length of her back but was tied in a pony pain also. The hair clip she always wore never changed always in the same spot moving some of her light brown hair out of her eyes. Her eyes had lost some of their innocence from the past but were still beautiful either way. "Thanks for the breakfast Yuzu, but i'm going to head off early and besides I'm really not hun-" she was interrupted by her stomach growling loudly enough for Yuzu to hear. Yuzu simply looked at her with a knowing smile and handed her 2 pieces of toast with butter and jam on it. "...Thanks.." she mumbled, Yuzu knows me too well... she thought with a smirk as she began to head off to her new school. "Don't be late!" Karin shook her head to how much Yuzu sounded like a mother.

Ever since their mom died Yuzu had taken her place as you could say. Cooking, cleaning and all the things Karin couldn't do. She'd try but every time she tried to cook it was burnt or ruined, or when she tried to clean she'd... well for example she broke the dishes when she cleaned them and the mop was now it two pieces... Not wanting to be any trouble Karin always locked herself in her room and listen to music, or studied. If she couldn't be help at home she sure as hell wasn't gonna be an idiot at school.

*-*-*-*-*One Run Later*-*-*-*-*

She looked and relized she suprizingly had time to spare and decided to walk the next few blocks. Her thoughts again lead back to the mysterious white wolf. She remembered how soft and warm his fur was and how she would peer into the eyes of it like it was a true person... she looked up and realized she was there. She stopped and stared at the school.

The buildings were a boring tan-ish white while the roof was a faded red that looked almost brown with a giant clock above the sign that hung above the main entrance. But it wasn't the building that took her interest it was the soccer field. Try outs are Friday, they start earlier here... I can't wait. Hopefully I have classes with some people I know. I haven't been able to talk to any of my old friends in a long time. I know I have some classes with Yuzu but I don't know which... She thought as she began to walk around... She looked down at her schedule she folded to only show the subject and room number.

English...201

AP Mathematics...209

AP Science...212

PE/Soccer Athletics...A-Gym

-Lunch-

AP Literature...189

Language Arts...191

AP Social Studies...194

(A/N: I'll explain the classes at the bottom, I don't know if they're different for you.)

She want good in English or Language Arts so she didn't have those regular. She walked in the class, all the kids were sitting on or at their desks talking to each other. She looked around the room hoping to find a familiar face but one found her instead.

"Karin!" came a familiar voice behind her, she turned but before she could see their face she was pulled into a bone crushing hug. She didn't have to see their face to know who it was.

"Rangiku!" Karin said to the busty strawberry blonde "I'm so Glad I have you for a class"

Karin usually had more guy friends until she began to, ahem, grow, and some of her guy friends wanted to be boyfriends. So she retreated and began making more friends that were girls.

"Yeah! Oh lemme see your class schedule..." Karin handed the folded paper to her friend while she compared the classes. "We have this class AP Science, Lunch, and AP Literature together!"

"Cool, Now I hope I have someone to talk to in other classes. Do you know anyone else who have the same classes we do?" Karin asked hopefully.

"Nope, not yet."

"Alright welcome to English I hope we come to an understanding and learn to love..." the teacher began but at that point Karin drifted off in thought, she picked a good seat too, in the middle by the window where the sun couldn't reach her because the tree was giving her shade and most importantly it gave a perfect view of the soccer field, perfect place to just zone out... Before she knew it the ball rang to dismiss to the next class.

"Come on, our classes are near each other." Rangiku said as she stuck her new books in her book bag. Karin and Rangiku walked out she asked, "So Karin what did you do during your summer?"

Karin's mind was wondering until her question brought her back down the earth "Oh um... nothing in particular."

"Oh Karin tell me. I know your not telling me something. Pleaasssseeee?" She had a puppy dog face that Karin wasn't strong enough to deny but had a escape plan anyway.

"Okay fine. Well ever since spring break of last year, i..." but before she could say anymore karin retreated to her class and left Rangiku stranded in the hall way.

"Hey! Your telling me in science!" She yelled and booked it quick before the teacher could scold her for yelling. Karin sighed with relief. With Karin ahead already classes were pretty boring. In this class she silently did her assignment. By Science Rangiku forgot about about the dream because of the news buzzing the school already.

Karin was simply drawing and before she knew it she we drawing the wolf from her dream and was writing "Toshi" above it.

"Ooh, someone has a crush on one of the new kids..." Rangiku said as she sat down behind her and noticing the drawing.

"What are you talking about?"

"There's this new group of kids who moved her from America," she informed, " the one that looks like that is the youngest, the others are in higher grades, mostly seniors and juniors...A total of like 3 guys none of them are related. They know Japanese, another rumor is they used to live her long ago, and others say they saw some here during spring break of last year but didn't go to school..."

"How do you learn so much about a person without even asking him?"

"I just heard about it, you know office aids and such..." Rangiku said she mentally noted her self to be careful of rangiku's ways of getting info. "I saw him, he has..." Rangiku pointed to the door for Karin to turn around and look.

Karin turned and it took a lot for her not to gasp out loud. No way, that's impossible it's just a stupid drea, but he looked like him... like the wolf... Toshi... Karin's thoughts were cut off when the teacher began talking. "Welcome class and please welcome Hitsugaya Toshiro, he just moved from America." he looked to Toshiro "You can have a seat up here beside Kurusaki-san." he said as he pointed to an empty seat that was right by me.

Toshiro stood exactly like the wolf, strong, brave, and even looked kinda like him, he had hair as white as the snow in her dream, and eyes the color of the ocean and just as piercing as the wolf's. "Not bad, huh?" Rangiku whispered poking Karin in the back with a pencil reminding her to stare at the board and not the new boy.

Toshiro's eyes scanned the room and stopped suddenly on Karin, they didn't leave Karin as he walked to his seat beside her, though he tried to make it unnoticeable. Karin tried to concentrate but could feel his cold blue eyes on her. Apparently he already make fan girls because she could tell they were staring her down. She couldn't take it she was about to scream at their face asking Histugaya-san what's his problem and to stop staring at her but she simply glanced quickly. She didn't want to deal with him and tried to concentrate on teh boarda and the rambling teacher but again she had to take a glance...And she did a double take, where they're eyes locked.

She tensed and at the same time he did as well, suddenly they were both startled by the bell breaking the lock between them... That fucking scared me... Thank god, soccer I need to get out some stuff. She looked up and suddenly he was racing out the room. She packed up and ran ahead, leaving Rangiku looking with interest and a little bit confused.

She arrived at the gym, and changed silently, but she felt as though she wasn't there. Her mind was off thinking about the strange boy as she was doing her warm up laps around the soccer field. He must be smart since he's in AP classes.. I don't even know how I got in them... I wonder about the other new ki -but her thoughts were interrupted when she bumped into someone and fell. "Oh! I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention." she said getting up to help the girl she ran into while jogging.

"It's ok." she said. She was very pretty, she had dark hair but Karin couldn't tell how long it wasbecause it was in a bun with parts of her hair framing her face and deep brown eyes.

"Are you ok?" Karin asked helping her up.

"I'm fine, thanks. I'm Momo Hinamori," she said with a gentle smile, cleaning the dirt from her uniform.

"Karin Kurosaki." she told her As Karin began to run steadily. They ran together for the rest of the period while Momo talked about her 2 friends.

"Alotta people say Shiro-chan is mean but he's really not, and Renji just looks scary, he actually a nice guy." she said.

"Hey, what do you have next?" Karin asked since we were going back in to change back into their normal clothes.

"Um... lunch." she answered thinking.

"Do you wanna sit with me and my friend Rangiku? I'm sure she'd like to meet you." Karin asked wanting to find someone to talk to beside Rangiku and her gossip.

"Um, sorry, but I promised my friends I was telling you about I'd with with them, I don't have him for any classes so I only see him then." she answered shyly.

"Oh okay, hopefully I have you for another class." Karin said with a truthful smile and just them the bell rung signaling for her to rush to the cafeteria to fill her grumbling stomach.

After Karin got her tray she looked around the cafeteria and spotted Rangiku waving her hands animatedly, signaling for Karin to sit with her.

Karin sat down and looked around at the other people sitting at the table. Rangiku was sitting in between Ururu and her sister Yuzu. Across from Ururu was another Busty strawberry blonde, then across from Rangiku was what looked like to be a child with bubblegum pink hair with a blush on her face and next to her across from Yuzu was an empty seat that rangiku kept flailing her arms at animatedly. Karin sweat dropped as she continued towards the table.

The energetic girl introduced her self as Yachiru Kusajishi, and the 2nd strawberry blonde as Orihime Inoue and said "Hi" The girls chatted until Rangiku became slightly distracted and nudged Karin in the arm.

"Karin,turn around on your left." Rangiku said without looking at her. Karin turned wondering if she should but looked anyway and knew what Rangiku was talking about. Karin whipped her head around and stared at her food "ugh." she groaned as Rangiku was holding back laughter. It was Toshirou with his tray looking for a place to sit.

Of course... he HAS to freaking have lunch with me. Rangiku slid a mirror in front of Karin, she looked at her friend who simply told her with her eyes to look at the mirror. She did and saw Toshiro, Karin was about to snap it shut when Rangiku said "Look these are the ones i told you about." Fearfully she looked in the mirror, Toshiro was talking to a red headed guy who hair was pulled up in a pony tail with tribal tattoos an d kinda reminded her of ichinii, some weird guy who seemed kinda gay, especially with those feathers on his eye, he looked older like the bald guy who looked pissed off with red marks on the side of his eyes... is that like a new fashion in America or something? and... Momo! Those were the friends she was teling me about, of course she wouldn't have classes with them beside Toshiro, they're all older. Toshiro turned his head and looked in the mirror back at her. Momo and the red haired guy turned to see what he was looking at and saw Karin and her table while the other two noticed and didn't seem to care.

What a great fucking way to start of the new year... Karin thought as she closed the mirror. She then heard someone calling her name. Things can't get any worse..

"Karin-chan!" Momo said. "Karin-chan! Come over here!" Spoke too soon...

Damn what the hell do I do? Karin thought, thinking... Do I ignore her? Do I go over there?

Haha, I already have a cliff hanger ^^" sorry but I thought it would be a good way to start off...

Oh well in my high school AP is just advanced and language is considered an elective so English would be different then Language Arts. PE/Soccer Athletics its basically PE but most study Soccer and play it. They have that here for a lot of different sports, tennis, football, etc... ANYWAY

Thank for reading! This is my first fanfic so go easy.
