Me: So as you guys know I'm at my grandparents for the summer. I brought my SD card but they have the wrong kind of Microsoft Word. It does auto correct like a bos5 but sadly that means it corrects Shiro's accent so I have to be a ninja about his accent. Anyway I got bored since they left me at there house alone for once of the first times ever. Q.Q I really want a day to myself but I have a month and a three days left of non stop social interaction. Q.Q Oh well, enough with this rant and on to this story.
Fallen.
Ichigo sat on his bed in the corner looking out the window.
His powers had returned on their own after a few days.
He had beat Azien and he thought he lost his powers.
But he didn't.
He's powers came back with a vengeance but also they came back with more control.
That had been two weeks ago.
But one thing haunted him.
"Why did they leave me?"
He whispered to himself every time he heard them speak of the spirits normal people can't see.
He thought they would notice that he could see the Hollows.
That he would flinch when ever a Hollow roared for attention.
But they would just go and take care of them.
"They didn't need me anymore all the dangerous ones are either dead or too scared to come out of hiding."
They must just not care.
I mean he did all the hard work made the hard decissions.
He should've noticed that they were just using him but he wanted to think better of them than that.
But even his friends in the Human world won't talk to him.
They were supposable his "closest friends" who were suppose to help him through rough times.
After they found out he had lost his powers all of them even Tatsuki and Chad had acted like they were stepping on broken glass around him.
He hated it.
He was strong enough to deal with anything.
Hell, he could've helped them with battle stratigies or communication or even moral support.
ANYTHING!
He seemed to have just faded from their world like he was nothing.
'But you are something, King.'
Ichigo froze.
"Wh-What are you doing here Hollow?"
'You know, by using the Final Getsuga Tenshō you killed Zangetsu but I made it through.'
Ichigo's stomach dropped.
'Zangetsu….'
'He fought tooth and nail to keep me alive for you so that I could be there for ya but I was weakened so I've been unable to talk to ya till now.'
"So…" he gulped focusing his mind to the task at hand," My powers have been coming from you, then?"
'Oh, we have a winner~!'
"So my powers are Hollow Powers?"
'Heh, you'd think so right, but nope your still a Vizard only more hmm... lets say Arrancar like than before.'
"What do you mean by that?"
'I mean you should probably find a nice private place with a mirror before you release your powers when you finally wanna kick some ass and stop being depressed.'
Ichigo thinks over the ominous warning and glances at his clock. 3:45 P.M.
He had some time. Not like any of his friends were coming to check on him or anything.
As he gets up to go to Urahara's place before he stops.
Urahara's would be a bad idea seeing as Hat n' Clogs might tell his friends he got his powers back.
For some reason he couldn't explain there was a little voice telling him to not tell anyone about his powers. At this point Ichigo didn't even care if it was his Inner Hollow.
It just…made…. well… sense.
'They'd probably just use me again anyway,' he decided.
Ichigo began to walk outside and the warm summer sun waves wash over him.
He cringes slightly instead of embracing it like a 'normal' person.
'It's been a while since I took a walk…' he thinks absently.
"Well where to go…?"
He continues toward town looking for a spot he can transform.
A few hours later….
"There has to be SOMEPLACE!"
He stops abruptly at a mirror store.
"Close enough right?"
Ichigo can feel his Hollow face palming at the spot he choose.
"What? It's as good as anywhere."
He hears grumbling but no protests from his Hollow.
Ichigo walks to the mirror shop and looks around.
"No one seems to be in the shop…"
With out leaking a drop of reissue he casts out his senses.
The place was empty so he decided to look around. On the countertop he found a note in English that said
Hello costumer~!
Left to go get some things and will be back at 6. Try not to steal anything from my shop and just leave the money on the counter, please.
~Gracie Ellerbee :)
Store Owner.
"She left the store open?"
'Che, SHE maybe stupid but lets use this to our advantage and do what we came here for and get out a here before any of yer "friends" see us.'
"So what do I do?"
'Try to imagine you coming out of yer body Sherlock and lets see where you go from there.'
" I could go and get my badge…"
'Stop it right there King you and I both KNOW what that thing does.'
Ichigo grimaces.
He had figured what the badge did after a little while of carrying it around and some of Zangetsu's help
"Alright I'll try it your way Hollow."
Ichigo closes his eyes and imagines a bud growing into a flower over and over again.
Blue Black reissue covers his body from head to toe.
Slowly, ever so slowly, he feels the familiar transformation taking place.
Ichigo turns to the mirror and his jaw drops.
Along with his now ripped black Shihakusho.
His left arm and right leg were exposed and covered the thick, white Hollow plaster of his final Hollow form.
He still had his same black Zanpakto only now a white crescent charm was at the end of the black chain.
His eyes were still brown only in a sea of onyx, his orange hair was a bit longer, and his skin was a few shades paler than before.
'Aww, look at lil Kingy, don't cha look soooo handsome?'
Ichigo scowled at his Hollow through their shared link.
"Shut up…"
Ichigo trailed off.
'What? Grimmjow got your tongue King?'
"No," Ichigo smiles at the taut directed towards the teal arrancarr, "it's just… you need a name."
'A name? Che. What for?'
Ichigo's Hollow mocks the idea even though deep inside he was suprised and eagerly awaiting Ichigo's response which made him slip up and reveal his true feelings on the matter to Ichigo who smiled.
"Hmmm…. How about... Shiroaski or Shiro for short?"
'A combo of my skin color and your last name. You aren't very clever King.'
"Well do you want it or not?"
Shiro panics slightly lowering his gaurd again.
'Che. You can't just give someone a name and then take it away ya' know.'
Ichigo smiles.
The he realizes something.
"Wait... where's my body?"
Ichigo looks frantically for his familiar orange hair.
Shiro's watery laugh river bends through out his head.
"What's so funny Shiro?"
Ichigo scowls in confusion.
After a few minutes the Hollow calms down enough to speak.
'Well ya use an auto-body now. If yer wanna be 'human' again then you just have to do the reverse of what ya did to turn in at your real form.'
Ichigo tries to nod but ends up grimacing as he feels a slight headache coming on from Shiro talking through their link so much.
"Hey, Shiro can you come out or something?"
Again Ichigo surprises the Hollow.
'This kid never stops surprising people does he.'
Shiro chuckles softly.
'I guess.. do ya want me at come out with cha?'
Ichigo shrugs "Sure. Why not?"
'Then focus on pulling me out.'
Ichigo focuses and the air in front of him shimmers.
'Just a lil more Ichi~!'
Ichigo misses the new nickname as he consintraits and continues pulling Shiro out of his Inner World.
Finally the shimmering turns soild and Shiro was standing right in front of him.
He was looked just like Ichigo only he had his normal gold-onyx eyes, white hair, skin, and Shihakusho and his zanpaktu was white with a black crescent moon charm on the end of the chain.
"Finally! My own body~!"
"Alrighty, Shiro what now?
'Wanna go kick some Hollow ass, King?'
A devilish look glints in Shiro's eyes. As Ichigo nods.
"It's been too long." Ichigo's smile matches his Hollow counter part's as they walk out of the mirror store.
Ichigo could tell that Shiro had some influence over him as he left the store, but at this point he didn't care anymore he just wanted to break some shit.[1]
Really bad.
Ichigo cast out his senses and pin-pointed a Hollow some what near them.
"Lets go, Shiro."
"As you say King~."
Shiro truthfully couldn't give a shit if Ichigo wanted to go kill Hollows with him all he cared about was that he was FREE of Ichigo's Inner World.
But Shiro knew it wasn't long term. Eventually he would have to go untill then her would have to do as Ichigo said to make Ichigo happy then maybe when the time is right... He smiles at the thought.
'Might as well have some fun before the shit hits the fan, ne?'
Shiro sonidos after Ichigo and quickly catches up.
Together they reach the Hollow.
Shiro stops and decides to try something out.
"Oi~! King~! Wanna make this one last~?"
Ichigo opens his mouth to tell Shiro that's wrong and they should just take out the Hollow quickly and leave, but then something washes over him and makes him agree with Shiro.
"Sure. Why not Shiro?"
Shiro's face splitting grin grows even larger than Ichigo's already insane looking grin.
'It had worked…'
Shiro had thought that he had a little influence on Ichigo but not this much… All those lonely days when Ichigo had just stayed inside brooding and all the dark whispers in his head had worked… Now to have some real fun.
[1] I love that line SOOO much right now~. :3
I can make a lil mini story when I get bored on my grandma's computer. I can't focus on The Truth of the Matter right now so I'm Sorry! I just don't want this next Chappie to look like crap. ;n; If I find inspiration I'll continue but I have this one story I've been writing in a notebook and this one plus I wanna do another one too but I'm gonna wait until I get back home to my nice WARM Louisiana to start it so I can have more time. Heck I don't even know WHEN I'll be able to update this with the next chappie. Mainly, This is me getting out my dark blood thirsty side… 8DDD Also if your wondering "Who's Gracie Ellerbee?" Well, she's one of my friends and she is overly trusting so I thought this would fit since I needed a place with mirrors and someone who owned it. Sorry if this sounds rushed or for ANY spelling errors I thought I'd just let you guys know what's going on and give you something to read.
So Cake anyone?
