Diamond Treasure (Bleach Fanfic)

Involving Karin

The presence of certain things always had an effect on the tomboy of the Kurosaki twins. Yuzu was always wishing to be able to see ghosts, but truth of the matter, the young girl had no clue how much of a pain, the whole thing was. For example, for some odd reason, Karin hadn't been able to sleep well for some time now. She had finally fallen asleep nicely tonight, only to find her dreams plagued by another person's memories.

She had to admit though, unlike the other times, a warm feeling of familiarity came from the person whose memories she saw. She walked with the person, without them realizing that she was looking through their eyes, through some sort of school. The students were dressed in a rather old fashioned uniform, the boys trimmed in blue, the girls trimmed in red.

It didn't last though, as the dreams and memories turned dark, moody, almost as if the person whose memories she was receiving, happened to be brooding over something. She could feel the person's heart break. She also saw, in that cold cavern, the friend that had been walking side by side by the person, suddenly have their face slashed, and then be killed off.

At this, Karin sat up with a yelp and pulled her knees to her chest with her head burried. She let out an exasperated sound. The pain seemed so familiar to her. "I really can't argue that if I don't believe, they aren't real anymore."

She lifted her head, and pounted her fists on her head, trying to think of why it felt so familiar to her, the person whose dreams she had shared, though hazy in some asspects. However, something clicked, as realization hit her, of just who she received the memories from. Emotions welled in her chest, as they hit her hard. "Toshiro... those where Toshiro's memories."

This caused Karin to blink in surprise, as the boy had retained a countanance of emotionlessness, when she had met him. She couldn't understand how then, memories from the day the two met at the soccer filed, were left over, and coming out now. However, this thought process changed, when she felt an icy blast of rietstu coming from her brother's room. "What the hell is going on?"

Suddenly, her body sprung into action, and her feet swung over the edge of the bed. She then tiptoed to the door, to find her older brother Ichigo, passing through the hallways, his face twisted in iritation. "That little snot. All I wanted to do was help him! I thought he concidered me his friend!"

"Ichi-nii?" Karin watched as her brother continued to wear the carpet thin. "Ichi-nii!"

Her brother suddenly turned to her, the look on his face turning to one of complete shock. "Karin... you couldn't sleep?"

"Sort of," Karin glanced at the ground, knowing that he likely wouldn't tell her what all was going on. She felt though, she might as well try. "What's going on?"

"Nothing..." he obviously lied. "I'm sorry I woke you. Go back to bed." Karin watched as, instead of heading back to his room, he instead headed down stairs. The small female couldn't help but roll her eyes, at the fact that her brother constantly tried to protect her from the truth she already knew. She knew he was lying, and made up her mind, to find out the truth.

Carefully, she walked onver to the door, and cracked it open. As soon as she did, she saw and recognized the small figure curled up on her brother's bed, covered with the blanket. "Toshiro?" No awnser came from him, which lef for her to creep into the room. She tip toed over, and knudged the white haired boy on the shoulder. "Toshiro, don't make me hit you..."

"Please don't get involved, Kurosaki-san," the boy mummered, his voice filled with exaution. An electric shock suddenly ran through his body, as she plopped donw, so that she was sitting right up against his back. This caused him to his out, opening his eyes, and turning his head to face her a bit. "What exactly do you think you're doing?"
