Ichigo's POV: They're late. Really late. If it were just Karin I'd understand, plus she knows how to defend herself. Yuzu, on the other hand, is usually on time and gets home as soon as she can. Maybe she went to see red boy (aka Jinta).

I decide to call Karin. ... no response. I tried again ... no response. I'm concerned now. Unless she's practicing, she always picks up her phone. Then the house gets a call. But it's not Karin, not Yuzu, it's Karakura General Hospital.

My dad picks up the phone. "Hello? Yes, that's me. What?! We'll be there as soon as possible." He turns to me and grabs my wrist. "Dad, what's going on? What happened?" He doesn't even look at me as he says "Karin's been shot."

We get to the hospital and bolt into the ER. "Karin!" We shout.

"Ichigo! Dad!" Screams Yuzu. She runs into our dad's arms.
I was glad to see her safe, but where's Karin? "Yuzu ..." I start. She looks up at me and starts sobbing. She begins to tell us the entire story. How he wanted to visit Jinta, how the man just showed up out of nowhere, how Karin saved by taking the bullet. I was furious. I wanted to give this guy a lesson, but he's still on the loose. The police were already on the case so the best thing to do was to make sure Karin was alright.

In order to remove the bullet, Karin had to go to surgery. It felt like forever but eventually, the surgeon emerged from the room.

"How is she?" I asked. "The removal was a success. But she should avoid using her leg as much as possible for the next couple of months. From what I understand she plays soccer. I'm afraid she won't be able to play for a while." Yuzu's expression goes from relieved to devastated. "But she has a tournament coming up in a couple of weeks. She's their best player." "I'm sorry but if she wants a full recovery, she needs to stay off that leg. You are welcome to go see her if you'd like."

Right as he says that Karin's boyfriend shows up. Yuzu glares at him. "I heard she was in a shooting. Is she alright?" She continues to glare. "She's better now but she won't be able to use her legs too much during the healing process," I tell him. I judge at his overall reaction.

He doesn't seem too concerned and he's dressed formally. Where was he before he ended up here? "Let's not keep Karin waiting. Let's go."

Karin's POV: Ugh ... what happened to me? Last I remember Yuzu and I were in the ally, this guy shows up, he shot at Yuzu but I jumped in to protect her ... it's still so blurry. Where is Yuzu? Where am I? I jump from my bed.

"Ah, Miss Kurosaki you're finally awake." A nurse? "Is this a hospital?" The nurse smiles as she reached for a container of pills. "Yes, miss. You were in an accident but don't worry. We have removed the bullet and you will be fine for now. You just need to stay off that leg and take some medication from time to time."I can't use my legs? But I have a game coming up. "One more question," I ask before she leaves the room to grab some more water. "How long will it be before I can use my leg again?" She thought for a moment. "Likely about 6 to 8 weeks."

Oh no. I don't know if the team can play without me. What am I going to do? We only have about a month before the game. What am I going to do? What will the team do? "Miss Kurosaki you have some guests here to see you." I turn to face the door. The nurse opened the door and- "Karin!!" Yuzu shouts running into the room interrupting my inner monolog. "O my gosh, are you okay? How's your leg? Are you feeling better?" I can see she's been crying. I feel bad for making her worry. "I'm feeling better now that I know you're okay."

"Hey Karin," it's my brother. I can see on his face that he's relieved that I'm okay but also concerned. He tilts his head to the side of the room. It's my boyfriend.

"Hey Dave, surprised to see you here." "Why wouldn't I be here babe? You got shot. Gotta see if you're okay." I let out a relieved sigh. I began thinking that he didn't care for me and began doubting our relationship.

"Anyways, just checking if you're safe but I'll be back to check up on you again. See you soon babe." I giggle as he walks backward, finger gunning his way out before hitting the wall and then smoothly goes out the door. Greatest recovery I've ever seen.

My family stays with me for a while longer before visiting hours are over.

The nurse gives me the hospital dinner and tells me to just leave it on the table next to the door when I'm done. "Let's see ... beef stew and some sort of pie? At least it's tasty." I say to myself. I'm all alone what do you think I'm gonna do? "Yeah, at least you're okay." Says a mysterious voice.

I was so startled I almost choked on my food. Wha-who-eh? I look around the room looking for where the voice might have come from. Where? Wait what if ...
I open the blinds and see him "Toshiro?"

Sorry if this chapter is a bit off. I tried to make it like those other stories that I see on Wattpad. I'm currently suffering from a bad headache but I already delayed this chapter so much already. I promise the next will be better. Thanks for reading ^^
