Master, how do you intend to punish the punks who injured your beloved girlfriend? Hyourinmaru questioned inside of Toushiro's mind while walking away from Karin's house.

I have a plan to get my revenge. Toushiro confidently answered a wicked smile growing on his face.

Can you do so while abiding by Karin's restrictions? Hyourinmaru whispered in Toushiro's mind while they headed for the high school soccer field.

I have everything under control.

But how? Hyourinmaru nearly begged his master.

"I'll explain in a minute but first I have to make sure Karin is healed before she wakes up." Toushiro answered pulling his phone from his jeans pocket. After scrolling through the names of his flip phone, Toushiro made a call and waited for the recipient to answer.

'Hello?' A timid voice responded over the phone.

"Hello, Hanataro. This is Captain Hitsugaya." Toushiro answered.

'C-c-captain Hitsugaya?' Hanataro nervously stuttered over the phone.

"Listen Hanataro, are you available?" Toushiro asked into the phone.

'N-not r-right now, I'm at w-work.' Hanataro stuttered over the phone causing Toushiro to stare at it. He knew Hanataro was a nervous person but he didn't think it was this bad.

"That's alright. When you finish your shift will you please stop by the Kurosaki clinic?"

'What do you need me to do?' Hanataro quietly whispered into the phone.

"Karin severely injured her ankle. I would like you to go by there and heal it." Captain Hitsugaya requested the fourth squad member.

'Yes sir, but it will be very late before I can go.' Hanataro quietly explained. Toushiro noticed that he became more confident when he was asked to work in medicine.

"That will be fine, Hanataro. Don't go in your gigai. I don't want Karin's family to see you."

'Yes sir, but what about Ichigo?'

"Hanataro, Ichigo could not sense Zaraki Kenpachi if he were standing on top of the giant. You don't have to worry about him or anyone sensing you. Karin will be sound asleep and Yuzu can't see soul reapers." Toushiro explained then thought about Isshin, "I don't think their father can sense spirits, but remember to be very quiet."

'Yes sir, Captain Hitsugaya.' Hanataro Yamada obediently accepted the mission.

"Thank you, Hanataro." Toushiro thanked him before hanging the phone up.

'You're w-welcome.' Hanataro stuttered again after hearing Captain Hitsugaya's gratitude.

Now that Karin is taken care of, where are you going now, Master? Hyourinmaru asked after Toushiro returned his phone to his pocket.

"We are going to the soccer field." Toushrio answered with the wicked smile re-appearing, "there you will see my revenge."

Hyourinmaru remained quiet as Toushiro walked toward the soccer field. Toushiro arrived at the soccer field looking around the field appeared to be in perfect condition as to be expected. However, closer inspection revealed a very deep hole near the center of the field. The hole was deep but surprisingly small in width.

Some hidden hole, Hyourinmaru growled in the back of Toushiro's mind.

"Indeed, this hole was dug on purpose." Toushiro touched the edges of the hole and felt the ridges of the scraped earth testifying to a spiked shoe as the culprit.

"The middle school team is coming in the morning, and I'll be waiting here for them." Toushiro stood up from kneeling to stretch his arms. Looking around he jumped into the nearest tree, then pulled out his pez dispenser to swallow a mod pill. Stepping out of his gigai, Toushiro watched his gigai timidly stand still awaiting orders.

"Stay up here and sleep for the rest of the night." Toushiro ordered jumping down to the ground while his gigai lay down to sleep.

Master, now what? Hyourinmaru asked again.

"This," Toushiro drew Hyourinmaru in the center of the field.

"Reign over the frosted heavens, Hyourinmaru." Toushiro plunged his sword into the field immediately freezing the entire field.

And . . . what does this do? Hyourinmaru asked in total confusion that he was ordered to freeze the field.

"You know what permafrost is right, Hyourinmaru?" Toushiro asked his dragon and felt him nod his head.

"Then you know it is frozen earth. When it thaws there is such a muddy mess." Toushiro explained sensing Hyourinmaru smile as understanding washed over him.

Wonderful, Hyourinmaru cheerily exclaimed rubbing his claws together then looking around the field. Do you think we need to do more?

"What do you suggest, Hyourinmaru?" Toushiro asked his inner dragon.

Perhaps a little ice coating the grass? There will be more satisfaction when these punks are forced to swim in mud. Hyourinmaru chuckles in the back of Toushiro's mind.

"Do as you wish." Toushiro gave Hyourinmaru free reign to do as he pleased. He quietly watched as water flowed from the sword covering the field and freezing into a thin sheet of ice.

There, that should do it. Hyourinmaru applauded his work in Toushiro's mind.

Now by morning, the ice and water should have soaked in the ground so when everything thaws the field will be one big mud field. Hyourinmaru chuckled again very much enjoying this plan.

But, it would be even sweeter if I could give the perpetrators even a little frostbite. Hyourinmaru grumbled but accepted the fact this is all they could do.

Don't worry, Hyourinmaru, these kids will be physically injured before the sun sets. Toushiro answered in his mind as he stretched his arms over his head and fell back to the ground.

What else are you planning, Master? Hyourinmaru's question did not receive an answer as Toushiro became comfortable on the ground crossing his arms behind his head acting as a pillow.

Master? Hyourinmaru questioned him but was ignored while Toushiro drifted asleep humming something about rain and capes. With a great sigh, Hyourinmaru resigned to curling up and following his master to sleep.

…...

Hanataro quietly walked up to the Kurosaki clinic so he could complete Captain Hitsugaya's request.

"Now how do I get in?" Hanataro looked up at the two story house with an attached clinic.

"The doors are probably locked," Hanataro walked around the building arriving at the front of the house where he spied a curtain drifting in the wind.

"A window is cracked open?" Hanataro looked closer at the window and as he suspected the window was lifted up to an inch from the sill. Quietly pressing his fingers under the wood, Hanataro was able to slide the window up enough to crawl into the house.

"This isn't very safe," Hanataro peeked his head through the opening to see if the coast was clear, "anyone can break in." He climbed through the window but fell over an end-table positioned immediately beneath the window. The end-table fell over with a loud crash bringing down a small lamp and phonebook.

"Who's down there?" Ichigo bellowed from upstairs.

Hanataro started sweating as he heard Ichigo stomp around on the second floor.

'Oh no, what am I going to do?' Hanataro looked around at the mess and started righting the table as quietly as he could.

"What are you talking about, Ichigo?" Rukia's voice drifted down to his ears.

'Ms. Kuchiki is here too?' Hanataro silently thought as he continued to replace all the items on the table.

"I heard something downstairs," Hanataro continued cleaning the mess.

"Well, I don't hear anything. It must be your imagination." Rukia's voice relieved Hanataro just as he tried pulling the window back down. Gripping the window, he gently pulled it down a couple of inches when it stopped moving.

'Oh no, it's stuck.' Hanataro thought tugging and wiggling the window down the grooves but sadly it would not budge.

"Come on," Hanataro whispered pulling it down with all his strength (which is not very much). More tugging rewarded his efforts when the window started moving. Smiling Hanataro pulled down more but lost his footing and slammed the window closed with a loud slam and knocking the small lamp off the table, again.

"SEE I TOLD YOU I HEARD SOMETHING!" Ichigo yelled from his room.

"IDIOT! KEEP QUIET! YOU'LL WAKE UP THE WHOLE HOUSE!" Rukia bellowed at Ichigo scaring Hanataro.

"What about you? You're yelling." Ichigo unwisely accused Rukia earning a butt kicking from the small woman.

"YOUR FAMILY CAN'T HEAR ME SINCE THEY DON'T SENSE SPIRITS!" Rukia yelled at him.

Hanataro replaced the lamp on the table and looking around nervously glancing at the stairs listening to the brawl from upstairs. There weren't a lot of places to hide if someone came down – a couch, recliner, and a table near the stairs, no place to really hide.

"I hope no one comes down," Hanataro blinked as he noticed the fighting had gone quiet. He listened for anyone walking down the stairs breathing a sigh of relief at the silence of the house.

"Now I can go tend to Karin," Hanataro took a step and paused looking around the house.

"Captain Hitsugaya never told me where Karin is sleeping." Hanataro whispered to the room in quiet shock.

...

Toushiro snapped his eyes awake in the middle of the frozen soccer field.

"I feel like I'm forgetting something." Toushiro mused watching a shooting star sail aross the sky.

What is it? Hyourinmaru sleepily questioned his master.

"I have the strangest feeling that I forgot something but I can't put my finger on it." Toushiro scowled thinking very hard but nothing came to his mind.

I'm sure it was nothing, Master.

"Yes, you're probably right Hyourinmaru." Toushiro yawned going back to sleep.

...

Hanataro continued looking around the living room of the Kurosaki house trying to figure out how to find Karin.

"How do I find Karin?" Hanataro glanced up toward Ichigo's room that had suddenly gone very quiet.

"I wonder why they are so quiet."

Ichigo could only stare from his pinned spot on the floor staring up at Yuzu standing at the door. Rukia quietly stepped off from his back freeing Ichigo to slowly stand being careful of his right arm now encased in an itchy cast.

"Ichigo, what are you doing?" Yuzu asked rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"I was . . ." Ichigo stuttered looking at his younger sister.

"I told you that you'd wake everyone up." Rukia stated sitting on his bed.

"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" Ichigo yelled turning toward his bed yelling at Kon in the stuffed lion.

"Ichigo, who are you talking to?" Yuzu asked being unable to see Rukia it was curious for him to be yelling at thin air. Ichigo simply pointed to the bed where "Bostov" sat scowling at the teenage boy.

"You're yelling at Bostov?" Yuzu asked him. Ichigo looked back to her then back to the bed where Rukia was smirking at him.

"Uhm . . ." Ichigo stuttered again but was saved by Yuzu's massive yawn.

"Why don't you go back to bed?" Ichigo gestured with his cast.

"Alright, but now I need a drink of water." Yuzu explained turning from the door. A light bulb switched on above his head as a marvelous idea flew into his mind.

"How about I get you that water and you go back to your room?" Ichigo suggested walking out the door following his sister to her room.

"Okay." Yuzu yawned again walking inside her room leaving the door cracked open. Ichigo quietly walked away from her room heading toward the stairs with a crafty smile growing on his lips.

Hanataro glanced around the room trying to find a place to crouch when feet started walking down the stairs.

"Gotta hide, gotta hide!' Hanataro dived to the couch crouching at the end beside a table with a lamp (they have a lot of lamps).

"Ichigo what are you going to do?" Rukia asked him reaching the ground floor behind Ichigo.

"I'm going to find out who's here and if it's the ice shrimp, then I'm going to beat him to a pulp for breaking my arm!" Ichigo slammed his right arm on the counter with a loud screech of pain.

"AAIIIIYYYEEEE." Ichigo cradled his throbbing arm in pain.

"Idiot," Rukai complained watching Ichigo hop around.

"Man that hurt." Ichigo growled through clenched teeth glaring at his cast with daggers shooting from his eyes.

"Well you should not have slammed it onto the counter." Rukia explained as Ichigo huffed in annoyance.

"Whatever, I'm going to go check on Karin." Hanataro perked up at Ichigo's words.

"Now what room did dad leave her?" Ichigo scratched the back of his head with his left arm staring at the ceiling. Neither Ichigo nor Rukia had noticed Hanataro crouching at the end of the couch.

"That's right, room 1A." Ichigo states in confidence walking toward the clinic. Hanataro calmly peeked up watching Rukia and Ichigo walk toward the clinic portion of the Kurosaki home.

'Now, I can go heal Karin. I'll just wait until they go back upstairs.' Hanataro ducked down when Ichigo and Rukia walked back in the kitchen after checking on Karin.

"Well, she's still sound asleep, and the ice shrimp hasn't been back tonight." Ichigo exclaimed with relief filling up a glass of water for Yuzu.

"Ichigo, I don't know why you hate Captain Hitsugaya for dating Karin." Rukia questioned him walking back up the stairs. Hanataro waited hiding behind the couch until the house became silent once again. Looking around the room and up the stairs, Hanataro did not sense anyone so he quickly rose from his crouch and searched for Karin's room.

"Room 1A," Hanataro exclaimed looking up at the door numbers of the clinic until he reached 1A. He opened the door and spotted Karin lying down on the bed with her bad leg suspended in a sling. Closing the door behind him, Hanataro slowly walked toward Karin and began healing her leg.

...…

Toushiro opened one eye when the sun rose in the sky waking him up.

"It's morning." Toushiro stated grinning at the field and the icicles gracing each blade of grass.

It won't be long now. Hyourinmaru chuckled rubbing his claws together in anticipation.

"That's right, Hyourinmaru." Toushiro agreed rising from the field and stretching his arms and leg.

Did you sleep well, Master?

Yes, actually I did. This grass is quite soft and comfortable. Toushiro explained reaching over to his sword and retrieving it from the frozen ground. Toushiro looked down at the field continuing to smile at the field.

"This is going to be sweet." Toushiro happily exclaimed and Hyourinmaru heartily agreed. Walking around the field, Toushiro ensured the field was still frozen nodding in satisfaction. Toushiro turned his head when he heard some boys heading in the direction of the field.

They're here. Hyourinmaru growled.

Hyourinmaru. Toushiro warned his dragon. His dragon responded with a deep growl echoing in Toushiro's mind. Toushiro ran to the tree and jumped up to his gigai as it started waking up. He stepped into his gigai just as the middle school students walked into the field.

"Dude, the field is wet." One of the kids complained.

"It's just dew," the captain explained stepping onto the field listening to the grass crunch.

Can I thaw it now? Hyourinmaru asked as the entire team did their stretches on the field.

Not yet. Toushiro answered.

"Come on, let's start practice." The captain clapped his hands gaining his team's attention.

"Alright, what do you want to do first, captain?" Another middle school student asked. The boys started chatting as Toushiro waited for the perfect time to punish them.

Now can I? Hyourinmaru asked again.

Not yet.

Toushiro and Hyourinmaru watched the students get their soccer ball from the mesh bag and start to kick it around the field. The students ran around the field kicking the ball in a practice game.

Now can I? Toushiro could fell Hyourinmaru tense up eagerly awaiting his moment of revenge.

The students kicked the ball around toward the goal and Toushiro watched the Captain prepare to make a point.

Now. Toushiro ordered and felt Hyourinmaru's energy leave the field. For a brief second, the field was solid and then it became a giant mud puddle. Gleefully Toushiro and Hyourinmaru watched the entire team fall on their faces in the mud and grass of the thawed field. Hyourinmaru laughed in Toushiro's mind as the students struggled in the knee deep mud and in the center the mud went up to their waist.

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA. Hyourinmaru laughed snorting and chuckling uncontrollably. Toushiro chuckled watching the Captain have the most trouble rolling in the mud unable to find his footing.

And now for the icing on the cake, Toushiro pulled out the phone from his gigai and called Tatsuki.

'Hello.' Tatsuki answered.

"Tatsuki, this is Toushiro Hitsugaya." Toushiro responded.

'Hey there, so what's up?' Toushiro smiled that was the question he wanted her to ask.

"I'm over at the soccer field and there's something you should see."

'What's wrong with the field?' Tatsuki rushed in surprise.

"You have to come see for yourself." Toushiro easily dodged her question.

'I'll be there in a few minutes.' Tatsuki hung up the phone and Toushiro smiled closing his phone. As he glanced back at the field, Toushiro struggled to hold in his laughter at the students scrambling and covered in mud from head to toe.

Now this is the revenge I was hoping to see, Hyourinmaru looked down to the field. Now where is the punishment?

It will come in just a few minutes. Toushiro answered spotting Orihime walk away from the direction of Ichigo's house. Since Orihime was leaving, Toushiro knew that Ichigo's arm is healed and more than ready to be used. Toushiro saw the proof running down the road toward the field. Running over the hill, Ichigo paused staring down at the mud covered middle school students in surprise. Toushiro jumped down from his tree and calmly walk up to Ichigo.

"Good morning, Ichigo. How is your arm?" Toushiro asked the teenager.

"My arm's fine no thanks to you," Ichigo complained to him. But, Ichigo turned back to the field staring at the students clambering over one another to get out of the mud.

"WHAT HAPPENED!" Tatsuki screamed running up behind Toushiro and Ichigo.

"These are just the middle school students that Karin was playing yesterday." Toushiro hinted to the pair.

"But, WHY are they on the field? And WHY IS THE FIELD A MUD PUDDLE?" Tatsuki yelled walking up to the field.

"The middle school students Karin plays against?" Ichigo asked. This is the question, Toushiro has been waiting for Ichigo to ask.

"That's right, Ichigo. They are the ones who injured Karin." Toushiro calmly stated feeling the energy of the teen sky rocket in his rage. Turning from the field, Toushiro walked away from the field to the chorus of screams: fearful from the middle school students and fury from Ichigo.

"YOU PUNKS HURT MY SISTER!" The boys screamed in terror, "NOW GET READY TO PAY FOR IT!" More cries echoed through the air following Toushiro away from the field.

See, Hyourinmaru. I have everything under control. Toushiro smugly stated to his dragon leaving the field and the pounding Ichigo was giving resonating with a few cracks of bone.

The only way this could be more satisfying is if I was able to injure them myself. Hyourinmaru complained again. Toushiro had a feeling he would be listening to that for a long time.

Toushiro walked up to Karin's house and after a swift knock on the door Karin opened the door smiling at seeing Toushiro.

"Toushiro!" Karin exclaimed in surprise engulfing him in a big hug.

"Hey, Karin, how's your leg?" Toushiro asked following Karin into the house.

"It's amazing. I just woke up this morning and my leg was better than ever and the cast was gone." Karin exclaimed hopping on her healed ankle.

"That's wonderful to hear." Toushiro answered concealing his actions in her situation.

"Yeah, I just don't understand how this happened." Karin stated giving him a look.

"What's with the look?" Toushiro asked in total innocence.

"Did you have anything to do with this, Toushiro?" Karin pointedly asked him.

Karin never has been one to beat around the bush. Hyourinmaru noted at her persistence.

"And, if I did have a hand in getting your leg better, would there be something wrong with that?" Toushiro asked Karin.

"No, this would be a good time to use your captain privileges." Karin smiled over at him at the kitchen table. Karin started eating her cereal while talking to Toushiro.

"Good," Toushiro answered enjoying her company over breakfast while he drank some tea.

"Toushiro, do you want anything for breakfast?" Yuzu kindly asked their guest as she was cooking over the stove.

"I'll just have some cereal. Thank you, Yuzu." Toushiro graciously accepted her offer and rose to retrieve a bowl of cereal.

"GOOOD MOOORRRNIIIING!" Isshin ran down the stairs and tackled Toushiro when he left the table.

"DAD!" Karin yelled at her dad as he proceeded to wrestle Toushiro. Surprisingly, Toushiro was holding his own against Karin's father.

"What's the matter? I'm just welcoming your boyfriend into the family!" Isshin gleefully explained pinning Toushiro on his stomach.

"Dad, just let him up so he can eat breakfast." Karin slowly stated to her hyper-active father.

"Your boyfriend is very strong for his age." Isshin happily explained when Toushiro managed to wrestle Isshin to the ground encouraging the older man to wrestle even harder.

"Mr. Kurosaki, please let me go." Toushiro complained to his girlfriend's father when his arms were painfully pinned to his back.

"Okay, alright." Isshin stated dropping Toushiro to the floor so he was sprawled on the kitchen floor.

"Thanks a lot." Toushiro grumbled rubbing his shoulder.

"HA-HA-HA. Don't mention it!" Isshin slapped Toushiro on the back causing him to stumble from the sudden movement.

Are you sure Isshin likes you, Master? Hyourinmaru asked with a sweat drop falling down his forehead.

I think so. Toushiro answered thinking back to Isshin tackling Ichigo on the day they practiced for the skit.

Then, I suggest you do not anger this man. Hyourinmaru helpfully hinted.

Thanks for the warning. Toushiro answered sitting back down at the table to enjoy his cereal with Karin.

OMAKE

*Isshin answers phone*

Isshin: Dr. Kurosaki here . . . Yes . . . Yes . . . Really, 12 people injured . . . Oh no, I understand. Thank you. Good-bye. *Hangs up phone.*

Karin: What's up dad?

Isshin: 12 soccer players have been beat up and they need to come here for treatment.

*Isshin runs through the kitchen toward the clinic.*

*Karin stands to follow him into the clinic.*

Hyourinmaru: This will be interesting.

*Karin walks into clinic and sees middle school team being brought in by paramedics. Looks at every student noting covered in mud, bruises, and bleeding from cuts and scrapes. Turns toward kitchen steam escaping her ears.*

Karin: TOUSHIRO HITSUGAYA! *Calmly walks into kitchen. Toushiro sitting at table drinking hot tea.*

Toushiro: Yes, Karin.

Karin: Why is the middle school soccer team in our clinic?

Toushiro: I guess they ran into an unhappy person.

Karin: Oh, I think I know the person they ran into. *Pointed glares at calm Toushiro still sipping tea.*

Toushiro: Who's that?

Karin: TOUSHIRO YOU PROMISED!

Toushiro: And I kept my promise.

Karin: Well those people in the clinic would suggest otherwise. So who did you send? Rangiku?

Toushiro: No.

Karin: Rukia? Renji?

Toushiro: No, No.

Karin: Any soul reaper?

Toushiro: Not one soul reaper.

Karin: Hyourinmaru? *Karin glaring daggers at her boyfriend.*

Toushiro: If I sent Hyourinmaru, then your father would be chiseling that team out of ice.

Karin: You got a point there. Then YOU went after them?

Toushiro: No, Karin. That team would be in even worse shape than they are now.

Karin: Then WHO did it?

Toushiro *crafty smile*: Ichigo did this.

Karin: Why did you send Ichigo?

Toushiro: I never told him to attack the team. I merely informed him that your injuries were caused by that team.

Karin: *Blinks several times.* I can't believe I forgot about him.

Toushiro: Well, he is not a full soul reaper and he is not under my direct command, therefore I abided by your full restrictions.

Karin: Stupid Genius boyfriend finding loop holes in my plans. *Karin grumbles walking toward the fridge.*

Toushiro: Next time don't go up against a genius. You will not be the victor.

Karin: *Face palms forehead.* You weren't supposed to make a loophole, Toushiro.

Toushiro: Then don't give me a challenge. *Calmly smiles enjoying Karin's frustration.*

Karin: Ugh. I give up.
