"normal talking"
"thoughts"
Ichigo was happily humming to himself while walking hand in hand with his mother on his way home from karate practice, when he saw a little girl about to fall into the river he was walking past. His thoughts came to mind and he thought he should try and stop the little girl from falling in. Ichigo without giving his mother warning suddenly started running down the riverbank.
"Wait don't fall in!" Ichigo cried urgently trying to call out to the little girl. However before he could get there an object looming beneath the surface came out. Ichigo took a step back horrified at what he was seeing before him. There it was a monster it had a white mask on its face or so he assumed it to be and a tentacle lure coming off the top of its head. It had bird like feet and green fur covering its body.
"You smell awfully tasty for a human, I wonder what you would taste like, strawberries perhaps?" the monster laughed trying to scare the child in front off him. "However that one behind you seems to be trying to come and get you, I think I'll leave you for desert" the beast said hungrily.
"Stay away from him!" Masaki said with a warning tone in her voice.
"Oh lovely its not so often I get two enriched souls to feed off" replied the monster greedily. It then charged at Masaki who was lifting up her left arm that seemed to have some kind of pendant dangling off a small chain on her wrist.
As Masaki lifted her arm up she tried to call on her Quincy powers although something seemed to be stopping her as though it were draining her of her strength. "Damn it just has to be now" Masaki thought as the beast neared her. "I just have to save Ichigo… a soul reapers coming…good, I might be able to get away with Ichigo". Instantly Masaki began evading the attacks coming from the monster.
"Damn, bloody soul reapers coming, guess I'll only get to have one of you today, there's always plenty more souls" the beast said annoyed. It quickened its pace to near shunpo speeds trying to catch the rapidly dodging human before it. It hadn't quite seen a human like this one before, it was sure to be delightful.
Masaki was tiring quickly and needed to outlast the hollow, though it did not seem luck were to be on her side this fateful day as the hollow quickened its pace again and tore into Masaki's flesh. "What!" she thought. "Blut vene should have been active…I've been weakening but how? Damn…there's nothing I can do now…the reapers close, Ichigo should be safe. Ugh! I can't move and I'm starting to feel a bit sleepy…probably the hollows doing". Masaki's eyes continued to slowly close before her head fell forwards and she lost consciousness.
Ichigo just sat there in horror as this thing tore his mother to pieces before his very eyes, and he finally snapped. Reishi erupted from Ichigo in a dark black and crimson red, it all began to gather in his hand and began to coalesce with itself before four prongs came out the sides. He raised himself from his knees to his feet in an awkward motion and took a few steps forward before letting loose a scream and threw the now spinning disk at the monster before promptly collapsing on the ground falling unconscious.
The disk flew towards the hollow before hitting it hard in it's back eliciting a scream from it. The reishi disk pushed into its back for a few seconds before dissipating. "What was that?" the hollow thought looking around for the source only to find the reaper approaching. "Well never mind that now, I've gotta scram before I'm caught" the hollow then opened a garganta and jumped through to the sands of Heuco Mundo.
The soul reaper landed to see the bloody sight of Masaki and a seemingly unconscious Ichigo. "Damn I didn't make it in time" the soul reaper said as he looked around. "Although I could swear I felt two hollow signatures not just the one I saw then." The soul reaper continued to talk to himself.
"H…hol…hollows…so that's…what it's called" Ichigo thought as he regained consciousness momentarily before falling into the dark again.
The soul reaper left an hour later still trying to figure out where the second hollow signature came from although he did not prevail in finding his answers and left troubled, only to be distracted and suddenly forget about it by another hollow signature nearby.
It was around this time that Ichigo regained some of his awareness and began to drag himself over to where his mother lay to try and wake her.
"M…mum…wake up…please," Ichigo sniffled now crying, tears pouring down his face "please" he continued to beg only to start crying hysterically.
A short while later Ichigo regained enough of himself to slowly think over the events that just transpired before his eyes not long ago.
"I'm going to learn how to fight those things and become strong enough to protect everyone else because its my fault I wasn't enough to save mum" he thought with determination "and I'm going to learn how to use that weird power I used as well to get stronger…" Ichigo paused a moment to overthink the brief conversation the reaper had with himself. "Wait! He said there were two hollows nearby…does that mean my power was like the hollows, or was there really another nearby…if so I better keep it a secret for everyone's sake" Ichigo finished his internal monologue and grasped onto his mothers wrist, the one that held her pendant and accidentally pulled it off his mothers wrist and into his grip before he fell asleep from exhaustion.
