Hi people! This is just a oneshot that was just there in my computer so why not publish? It's also my first HitsuKarin (i love this couple)

Anyway. I Don't Own Bleach (T-T)

The wind hit his face gently, making his snow white hair sway just in the slightest. He could hear Hyorinmaru purr in content in his head. It sounded like a loud rumble, louder then thunder, but Hitsugaya Toshiro was used to it, it was comforting even. He slowly pulled his eyelids closed over his turquoise eyes, letting the few final rays of the sunset in front of him reach his face. It warmed him slightly, and he couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth form a small smile.

It was crooked and looked like it was unpracticed, but a gentle smile none the less. Not many people were able to see his smile, but when they did they see him in a completely different light, and they cherished it. It was rare.

"You should smile more often." he heard a voice say. The matchless smile on his face vanished and was replaced by the familiar scowl that was apart of his usual cold demeanor.

Toshiro opened his eyes, saw the sunset and kept his eyes on it, not wanting to see the raven haired Kurosaki that he knew was the one talking. She had a voice that always made him turn his head, grab his attention, subconsciously of course, and he hated that. He felt a hand on his hair and automatically pushed it away, but Toshiro knew it was useless. Kurosaki Karin was going to mess with his hair weather he wanted her to or not.

And he didn't.

But she did. End of story.

He pushed her hand away and when he put it back on his lap, he felt her fingers run through his hair yet again, ruffling it in a playful manner. He could see that irritating smirk already on her face.

"Quit it, Kurosaki" he pushed her hand away once again. Karin sighed and most likely rolled her eyes, he didn't know. He was still trying to not get sucked up into conversation so he still didn't look at her. Why do I just know what she's gonna say or do next. She's probably gonna tell me to call her by her first name.

"I told you call me 'Karin'" she said to him a tint of annoyance in her voice. 'I was right. Damn, is that a good thing or a bad thing...' he thought. Hell he didn't know, but he didn't think about it long. She swung her legs over the railing to sit with him like they always did. Every time he came, she came. He came to be alone but she wouldn't have it. 'I think she does it just to piss me off...'

For some reason, he was always sent to the human world, the Soutaicho said it was because he was the one who knew how to "blend in" the most and be "inconspicuous". Toshiro, for the first time in his life, felt like point to his hair and yell 'HAVE YOU NOT NOTICED?' So he came usually every few months, alone or with others. But no matter, he would always end up at that same spot. And she'd always be there.

"You should sing." she said after a while of silence, breaking him from his thoughts. He looked at her a bit confused, 'Where did she get that from?'

"What?" he asked, looking to her, but she was still turned to the setting sun before them.

"You should sing," she shrugged, "You have a nice voice."

"How would you know?" he slightly sneered, but he never could like he did with others, "You've never heard me before. And either way I don't sing." he added

"You were humming a few minutes ago." she turned to him, and noticing his face she smirked at him, 'Kami, I hate that smirk.' "Didn't you know?" 'Wait, how the hell did she get me to talk to her? Dammit, every time.' he thought and turned back to the sun. He just wanted to be here alone, the reason why he comes to this spot, and think. But with Karin... he just couldn't explain it. And it, the fact he couldn't explain, annoyed him.

A lot.

He could feel her eyes on him but refused to meet them. She smirked and shook her head, and turned back to the sunset before them. He closed his eyes once again and as much as he tried to refrain, he couldn't help but think about the girl right beside him. 'I wasn't humming was I?' he thought. Soon enough he was in his inner world; the chilling cold icy air gave him goosebumps. It was a change from the weather out his subconscious. He welcomed it, though.

'I think you were, master.' Hyorinmaru said to him, while the familiar ice dragon appeared into the plain of ice of his mind, 'You tend to do that.' Toshiro picked up on the hint of amusement in his voice. Karin was starting to rub of on him, Toshiro guessed. As though he heard his thought, Hyorinmaru rumbled a bit. Toshiro could have sworn that was his form of a chuckle.

'I do...?' He asked to change the subject. Toshiro looked into the red eyes of Hyorinmaru while the dragon nodded his head yes in reply.

"Hey, snowflake." he heard Karin's voice echo in the vast icy plain.

'Have you figured out why I can hear her voice here?' he asked. Toshiro could have sworn Hyorinmaru smirked a little, which reminded him of Karin, before answering no. Wait... why was he reminded of Karin?

'She's calling you master' Hyorinmaru rumbled, his red eyes looking to the 'sky' of his inner world where the voice was coming from.

'I know, I'm hoping she'll leave me alone' he looked up to the origin on the voice.

'You and I both know what's going to-'

Hyorinmaru was interrupted when her voice called again.

"Hey, Toshiro!" she sounded a bit panicked. 'You should answer her.'

'I should, shouldn't I?' he said sarcastically.

He then felt a smack on the back of his head, which he thought was strangely ironic timing, causing him to jolt forward a bit and pull him back to reality. 'To Karin' he thought, 'Wait, what?'

"What the hell?" he said both to the thought he pushed to the back of his mind and the hit over the head. Toshiro rubbed the back of his head where she hit him, it didn't really hurt, but it wasn't exactly painless. Where does she learn to hit like that? Oh right. 'She's a Kurosaki.'

"You didn't answer," she said in her tough and confident demeanor, with all hint of panic gone. But it still wasn't her normal voice. It was a bit higher, and had a sense of fakeness. How he knew, he didn't wanna know, "I was calling you and you didn't answer."

"What? Scared?" he said looking at her, once more. 'Kuso' She rolled her onyx eyes. 'Why can't she just leave me the hell alone?'

"Yeah, sure." she said sarcastically. It seemed he got his wish since she was swinging her legs over the railing to the street. She started to walk off and before he could stop himself he called to her.

"Where are you going?" She didn't reply and kept walking. He didn't know why but he... just... he didn't know. But he didn't want her to walk away.

"Kurosaki?" he called, still nothing. "Kurosaki!" nothing. "Karin!" He didn't notice he said her name but she did and turned with that damn smirk he hated so much.

Then he thought back on how he just responded to her leaving. She usually stayed with him until the sun was completely set, then they would still watch the stars and then they would always part. The fact she was leaving him -here -made him feel... weird, he couldn't explain it.

"What?" she turned back around, with the hated smirk still on her face "Scared?"

"Yeah sure, Karin" he answered and looked back to the sunset, "Just go."

She turned on her heal and started walking once again, but stopped herself mid-step.

Toshiro turned around only to feel a familiar hand reach to ruffle his hair. When he was just about to push her hand away he looked straight to her and onyx and turquoise locked. Toshiro had his hand on his head, in mid push off, right on top of hers. After a few seconds they both smiled their crooked unpracticed smile and she messed up his hair, with his hand still lightly on hers. She could see the tint of pink on his cheek and she was pretty sure she was blushing too. But the pink-red from the sunset hid it well...that sure as hell wasn't enough for Karin.

"Like I said," she pulled her hand away, and leaned in just the slightest. Toshiro's blush grew tint while he moved back to which Karin just leaned in closer with her much hated smirk turned smile, "You should smile more often," she turned on her heel and started to walk away. Toshiro let out an inaudible sigh, and wondered why his heart started beating faster when she got closer. 'Something tells me she's not done Master.'

'What do you mean?' asked the ever oblivious Toshiro.

Once again she stopped and turned back enough to look at him. He watching her walk away and Karin, being well..Karin, decided to mess with him... just a little more.

"Besides," her smirk, gently turned soft and made a true smile, a bit similar to his, "You look cute when you smile," Toshiro stared wide eyes at her while a tint of pink formed on his cheeks... again. Karin's smile grew bigger until she was laughing."I knew that would get a better reaction!" she laughed and started running. It took a millisecond for Toshiro to put together the puzzle pieces...

"KUROSAKI!"
