Title: Death and What Came Next

Authoress: XxMookinexX

Summary: Dying had not been in the plan for Kurosaki Karin. However, now that she has, what will happen? An exploration into her exploits in Soul Society. Eventual ToushirouxKarin.

Pairings: Toushirou Karin, Ichigo Rukia, Orihime Uuryu, Momo Izuru, etc (there are many and they are complex). Obviously Orihime likes Ichigo, Renji likes Rukia, Rangiku likes Gin. Toushirou and Momo have a very deep and complex relationship, and the same for Toushirou and Rangiku. Then again, if you've read the manga, you know all of this is implied (save for the Karin thing, but I like the idea of that pairing.) I have no definite idea of who will finally end up with whom, although I have a vague one. NOTE - these pairings are subject to change as the entire story has not been written yet.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or any of its characters, I only wish I did. Any and all unrecognizable characters and situations belong solely to me and are not to be touched without permission. I am not making any money off of this and I write with the soul purpose to entertain. This disclaimer applies to all future chapters in this fanfiction.

A/N: I do not intend to use an OC as a main character, they will merely be background people mentioned in passing to make this more realistic (obviously at some point various captancies much be replaced). Any characters which appear OOC are written that way out of a desire to keep them in character according to the situations I have placed them in.

Situation: This story takes place when Karin is 20, and so is set ten years after the manga. I haven't got the brains to try and predict what will happen plot wise after this point, so this takes account of everything up to chapter 353 of the manga. I've only watched up to episode 213 of the anime.

As a result the situation is that everything has been resolved. Aizen, Gin and Tousen are dead. I think Tousen will end up surprising everyone in the end. Gin dies in an unforeseen way... although for all Gin Rangiku shippers it's not that unforseen. In my story Zaraki is dead, so are Komamura, Lisa, Kensei and Rose. Jyuushirou is dying, Shunsui is severely injured, Matsumoto was temporarily indesposed. Kusajishi Yachiru is MIA. Something like that.

I know I'm cutting a lot of corners with this, but as I've already said, I'm not intelligent enough to predict the plot and I'm not a good enough writer to improvise this as the later chapters are released and the storyline is revealed. This is Karin centric.

Thank you!
