My Past Haunts Me

The Child

Welcome back to "My Past Haunts Me" I hope that you are enjoying the book. I couldn't come up with what to write next at the end of Chapter 3, so I figured I could think about it and restart it here, so here we go!

AN: Real quick I want to say before I start this chapter, how the scene is processed this time, is not how they do it, so this is falsified information of how cops do their cases. Just in case someone thought this was how they do it.

Chapter 4

Karin had taken it upon herself to treat the boys' injuries and get him out of his old clothes while making sure that she was able to collect as many pieces of evidence as she could. She would have the forensic team go over everything once they got into the office. Toshiro watched her deal with the unconscious child from the door, Karin made makeshift clothes for him. When she had finished collecting the evidence and cleaning the boy up, she cared him to her room and laid him down in the bed before covering him the blankets. She secured the windows before walking out of the room, leaving the door only slightly cracked so that they would be able to hear him if he started to yell. Karin saw Toshiro leaning against the wall across from her room. He looked up to see Karin standing in front of him with a sad smile.

"How is he?" Toshiro asked, standing up straight, with a stern expression.

"He is currently fine, but he had several defensives injures, I have a hunch on what he's been through, but I'll let a forensic nurse do that examination to confirm it, but other than that he's also emaciated," Karin replied. Before heading towards the front room. Toshiro glanced back at the door before following Karin. They got to the front room just in time to hear a knock on the door. Toshiro patted Karin's shoulder, telling her to go sit down and that he would answer it. Karin nodded before sitting down on the couch while Toshiro answered the door is coming face to face with some officers.

"Captain Hitsugaya, Sergeant Kurosaki, we were told that the boy appeared here," the officers said.

"Yeah, come in, we will tell you everything and hand over the evidence that we were able to collect. We will take the boy to the hospital tomorrow morning," Toshiro said, letting the officers in. The officers sat on the chairs that were in the front room while Toshiro joined Karin, sitting beside her on the couch.

(AN: If something ever happens naturally you would go to the hospital immediately, also I'm too lazy to write about the actual interview between them and the officers)

Toshiro escorted the officers out after the interview, shutting the door and locking it after them. He let out a sigh before looking over at Karin. She looked exhausted from the day, she was already curled up on the couch with her eyes closed, but Toshiro knew better than to think that she was asleep.

"Karin, it's late. We should go to bed," he said. Karin peeked her eyes open looking at him,

"The boy is in my bed, so I'm sleeping on the couch tonight," she answered. He watched her for a moment before scratching the back of his head,

"You can take my bed tonight," he offered,

"No," she quickly replied.

"Why not?"

"It's your bed, and I didn't go to work today, so you are probably more tired then I am," Karin replied, but Toshiro wasn't going to take no for an answer. He walked over to Karin and picked her up bridal style.

"Toshiro!" She yelped before she started to hit his chest, "Let me go! Put me down, Toshiro," she barked as Toshiro carried her towards his bedroom. He pushed open the door and plopped Karin down on the bed; she quickly sat up only to come inches away from Toshiro's face causing her to blush.
