Yo! So this is a story I thought of while in church, then I put it to digital paper. This is kinda a AU. Ichigo is still a soul reaper, but when he regained his powers he didn't get an inner hollow with them. Shiro is Ichigo's twin and extremely possessive of him. This is a HichiIchi/ShiroIchi/Hollow Ichigo X Ichigo fanfic! DON'T LIKE THEN LEAVE NOW! I don't wanna deal with hate, it's annoying and unhelpful. Also this might have some smut, I'll decide later. I haven't done any yet, so this would be something new. This is also inspired by Ino Death, an amazing writer of my favorite OTP on ! Go check her out!
Summary: Ichigo never had an inner hollow, but he did have a twin brother. Shiro got his name from his appearance and he was never seen anywhere but at his twin's side, that is until he died. Ichigo never saw the invisible monster that took his brother's life and mothers. Reborn as a hollow, Shiro lost all of his memories of his life. Only two things remained in his mind, his name and his brother. What happens when these two twins finally see each other again? How will Ichigo react when his brother refuses to give him up and is even willing to drag him to Los Notches? How will Shiro react when he discovers his brother is the enemy of hollows? Will they fight to the death or find a way to stay together?

Ever since Ichigo could remember, he could see souls, but not hollows. His twin was the opposite, he could see hollows, but not souls. Over time they would be able to see both, but one sooner than the other.
Shiro died on June 17th along with Masaki Kurosaki. The cause was falling into a river that was running at a high speed and most likely hitting something then bleeding to death.
Ichigo couldn't tell the dead from the living. When the 'girl' fell into the river, he ran after her to save her. Shiro jumped in to save his mother and brother, but he was no match for the rapids. Ever since that day, Ichigo blamed himself and even more so when he was confronted six years later by the same hollow that killed them. What he didn't know was that Grand Fisher only devoured his mother's soul. His brother was reborn in Hueco Mundo and was constantly trying to get back to him.
~Hueco Mundo~
"I think he's dead." A voice observed.
"He's breathing." Another added.
Shiro groaned and wiped the sand from his eyes. Wait… Sand? It wasn't the kind you get when you fall asleep, not it was weird. Pushing himself to sit, he noticed a lot of strange things.
One, he was in a desert that had white sand. Two, there were two strange creatures looking at him. Three, he couldn't remember anything besides his name and a person named Ichigo.
"Guess ya are alive." A large cat with white armour stated. He had blue eyes and a few black markings here and there. There was also a huge hole where his stomach should be.
"Gah!" Shiro panicked instantly on his feet. Though he found it strange he was taller than the other.
"No need to yell." The second creature laughed. She looked like a centaur from the movies he saw. The mask on her face looked like a skull and it had two ram like horns. She was easily taller than him.
"You guys look like the monsters I see around my house sometimes, but they never talk. They roar a lot." Shiro said.
"We're called hollows." The female explained. "You're one too."
Those words freaked him out. Glancing down at himself, he noticed he was fairly tall, had white armour and a mask. A large lizard like tail was also present and a huge hole in the center of his chest.
"You'd better not scream." The panther threatened.
Shiro held his tongue. The panther didn't seem in the mood to deal with any annoyances.
"We should probably introduce ourselves. I'm Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck." The centaur introduced herself.
"Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez. Ya got a name?" The panther added.
"Shiro Kurosaki." Shiro replied.
"Strange name. First name means white and last starts with black." Nelliel observed.
"Oh I almost forgot! If someone named Ichigo here?" The name was familiar to him, but all that came to mind was blurs. Blurs of a person with orange hair.
"Wait!" Nelliel grabbed his shoulders, but he couldn't feel the death grip she had. "Do you remember when you were alive!?"
"No, just a name and some blurs…" Shiro replied, then realization hit him. "Wait! I'm DEAD!"
Grimmjow didn't seemed pleased by his outburst, but didn't say anything. He assumed it was a cat thing or something.
"Yeah, yer dead. That giant hole in yer chest should be a clue." Grimmjow replied.
"Then where am I and what do I do now?" Shiro asked saddened by the news that he was beyond the grave.
"This is Hueco Mundo one of the three afterlifes. You can travel with us if you like." Nelliel offered.
At the time the three were not even of Gillan level, but as they traveled they would grow stronger. At the Adjuchas level, Nelliel meet with some friends from her early days as a hollow and they vanished into the sands. Shiro would continue to travel with Grimmjow. The two would often fight and Shiro ever so slowly surpassed him and even reached the Vasto Lorde before him. Grimmjow's way of speech also rubbed off on Shiro. He somewhat slurred words that began with Y.
Shiro even took many trips to the world of the living, but he never found the orange haired person from the remains of his memories. It was mostly because a soul reaper engaged him and as more and more came, he returned less and less. Eventually he gave up and soul reapers left, until Rukia Kuchiki showed up and shared her powers with the same person he was searching for.
That encounter was the first step to the twins meeting once again.
So I'm aware that Grimmjow and Nel never really meet in the past, but we don't know the Espada's lives a hollows besides the small glimpses. Also I just made up Nel's form, so if that isn't the way you imagined her, sorry. Now I should explain Shiro's form. It's the first hollow form we see Ichigo in and the one with horns is obviously at least of Vasto Lorde level. Therefore his form will change when I go more into Shiro's past as a hollow in future chapters. Thanks for reading!
