Ichigo decided to leave them alone but if he ever hurt her then he would kill the captain.
Karin fell asleep on the couch beside Toshiro. She was sleeping peacefully beside him. Renji and Ichigo sat on the other couch. Captain Unohana had left once Karin had fallen asleep so did Ryuken.
"She must be really tired after today's events." Ichigo said. He kept staring at his sister and Toshiro. He was trying to figure out their relationship with each other.
"Yeah a funeral then having a fever must take a lot out of her." Toshiro said as he stroked her hair. She was still in the dressing gown but Toshiro also placed his jacket on her legs to keep her warm.
"What are you guys doing here anyway?" Toshiro asked the pair.
"We were wondering where you to were. You, Karin and Captain Unohana weren't at dinner. Then I remembered Karin being upset this afternoon."
"Are you hungry Toshiro." The said shinagami raised his spiritual pressure as he heard his name and not his title. He soon felt Karin raising her spiritual pressure then Karin stirring. He looked down to see Karin opening her eyes.
"Toshiro, what's wrong?" Karin said as she closed her eyes again.
"Oh it's nothing just a lieutenant doesn't know his place." Karin reached up stroked his face.
"Is Renji disrespecting you again?" Toshiro and Ichigo laughed at her statement. She knew that it was Renji.
"It's fine now Karin, he has been told. Anyway, you hungry?" Karin nodded. "Go and get changed then we'll eat" Karin opened her eyes and stood up. She handed Toshiro back his haori then walked to her room.
"Toshiro, look after Karin now. It seems like she really cares for you." Toshiro couldn't help but blush. He too really cared for Karin but he didn't know she felt the same way. Karin came out moments later with her uniform on. Toshiro stood up and saw the redness in her cheeks. He cooled the water down again and gave it to her.
"Here. You need to stay hydrated." Karin took the water then sat it back down once was finished.
"Ready?" Asked Renji who was standing at the door. Karin and Toshiro nodded then headed out the door.
When they got to the hall it was empty. Only a few people were still there. That included Rangiku, Shuhei, Izuru, Shunsui, Jushiro and Rukia. Rukia was the only one out of the group who was not drinking sake. Ichigo and Renji sat beside the others. Karin and Toshiro looked at each other then looked at each other then joined the others. Karin took a seat beside her brother and Toshiro took a seat next to Renji. There was not much on the table only some pasta. Ichigo was the closest to it so he handed Karin and Toshiro a plate. Karin quickly devoured the food, she had not eaten much since this morning. Toshiro shook his head the wiped the food around her mouth. Karin and Toshiro blushed at the sweet affection Toshiro gave her. Rukia has noticed the moment between the pair, she couldn't help but sequel. She tried to do it quietly so no one would notice.
Karin looked around the hall and saw the piano, Ichigo was talking about the other day. There wasn't just a piano there was electric and acoustic guitars, a drum kit and a keyboard beside the piano. There was a couple of microphone surrounding each instruments but they were all dusty. Rukia saw that Karin was looking at the stage.
"Oh yeah Karin, you can play the guitar." Karin nodded. "Can you please perform that song which was dedicated to Yuzu." Karin saw the others wanted her to perform it as well. Karin nodded then walked up to the piano. She dusted the piano and then sat on the chair. She put her hands in front of her then cracked her fingers. Rangiku and Rukia ran up to the closest table beside the stage. Karin pressed a key on the piano, it was too quiet. She turned up the volume. Karin then took a deep breath then started to play the song.
