Second Afterlife

Second Afterlife Chapter 16

--------Toshiro's POV--------

Today is the day that Byakuya, Renji, Soi Fong, Marichiyo Omaeda, Komomura, Tetsuzaemon Iba, Maryuri Kurotsuchi,  Namu, Rangiku and myself will go to Karakura Town. I still don't want to go. Byakuya and Myself have decided that I will stay at Urahara's shop and stay there so I am not tempted. Urahara has promised to keep the shop closed so Karin will not come.

At 10:00 everyone gathered in front of the Senkimon. When we reached Urahara's shop, everyone grabbed their gigais and left to do their jobs. Only Rangiku and I were left at Urahara's. "Rangiku, why don't you go and join the others. I am fine here by myself."

She just shook her head. "I understand that you are in the middle of a bad situation. As a lieutenant, I need to protect my captain. I am staying here so nothing happens." Then she smiled at me.

"Thanks, Matsumoto." The I gave her my very rare smiles.

--------Karin's POV--------

I am freaking out. The wedding is in 9 days. We have the location, the dress, and the invitations made. Toshiro and I have decided to have it in that field that he visits to watch the sunset. What am I doing? I can't think about Toshiro. My dad specifically said not to talk and look at him. If I think about him, I will go and see him.

I just can't take it any more. I can't stand not to see him. It is making me feel like he is dead. Then tears started to roll down my face. I started screaming, "TOSHIRO!" Apparently Yuzu heard me because she came bursting into my bedroom.

She ran to my side and tried to calm me down. "Karin, it is okay. You will see Toshiro soon." I looked at her with tears in my eyes.

"I don't know if I can do this, Yuzu. I can't take it any more. It fells like he is dead. I want to see my Toshiro." Then I started to cry even harder. I was crying so hard that I couldn't see and inch in front of my mind. The I heard dad come home.

"Were are my beautiful baby girls at!" I bet he heard me crying because right after he said that he was in my room and he was trying to comfort me. He could tell that this separation was killing me so he said, "Why don't we see if Toshiro is at Urahara's." I nodded and dad put me on his back and we were off.

--------Toshiro's POV--------

I wonder if I can feel her spiritual pressure. I tried as hard as I could and didn't sense anything. Then it came out of nowhere. He spiritual pressure just appeared. I could tell that Isshin and Yuzu were with her. Oh no. She is coming to Urahara's. I quickly ran down into the basement to get Kisuke. "Kisuke!" I yelled to old Hat 'n Clogs.

Then he looked up to me with a confused look. "What is it, Captain Hitsugaya?" he asked with an edge of worry in his voice. He could tell that I was worried about something.

"Karin is coming here. She can't come here. I can't see her now!" The I started to really freak out. I paced back and forth. I also began mumbling to myself.

"Captain Hitsugaya, calm down. You stay down here while I go and figure out why they are here. Just calm down," he told me as headed upstairs. I heard him talking to Karin, Yuzu, and Isshin. I had no idea what they were talking about, but I could hear their voices. Then I heard Kisuke call my name.

I know Karin is still here, so why do I need to go upstairs? "What, Kisuke?" As soon as I was upstairs, Karin hugged me so hard. I didn't question this and hugged her back. "What is going on guys?" I asked Yuzu and Isshin.

"They let me come and see you early, Toshiro." Karin told me as tears started to flow down her cheeks.

"Yeah, Toshiro. It was killing Karin that she wasn't able to see you. We thought that you would be in the same condition, so we stopped by here." Yuzu explained to me.

"B...b...but how did you guys know that I was here?" I asked the three Kurosakis.

"That is an explanation for another time, Toshiro," Karin said as she pulled me down for a kiss. Then we felt a huge spiritual pressure. It had better not be who I think it is.
