Disclaimer: I don't own it, Tite does. But I did come up with the Idea for a hollow-Rukia all on my own, this is a prequel and continuation of my other story Swallowed.
'Rukia' thought Ichigo as he dodged another attack issued by Grimmjow.
He glanced at Inoue and Nell who were safe for the moment and then brought his attention back to his opponent.
'Don't die'
o.-
In the darkened hall in Hueco Mundo, two bodies lie in pools of fresh thick blood.
The smaller of the two, a young looking shinigami girl clad in her blood soaked shinigami robes, was face down on the floor clutching her broken pure white sword.
The young shinigami clutched the hilt of her broken sword tightly as she started to rise from her fallen position staining the pure sword in her hand with dark blood seeping down her arm.
Had there been any observers they would have noticed that there was a major difference between the girl who fell and the girl who was now rising from the puddle of sticky dark fluid, seemingly immune to the number of injuries that the marred the shinigami's body.
She had a mask on.
Her pure white mask, that rivaled her weapon, with swirling black vine-like designs twirling through it, outlining the electric purple irises that shined through the hollow mask.
"foolish shinigami… letting yourself be injured to the brink of death by this disgusting thing" The masked being said as she kicked the dead Espada's body at her feet. Her wicked voice rang out through the large empty room and she smirked to herself.
Still gripping the broken pure white sword dripping with her own blood, the hollow girl started walking down the hall.
O.o
'Am I dead' Rukia thought as she peeked opened her eyes to see nothing but white.
Upon further inspection she noticed that it was snow. Standing up from her position on the ground Rukia looked around and immediately recognized the ice palace where she met her zanpakuto.
"Sode No Shirayuki" she said clearly.
Instantly a figure of a woman materialized before her. Her long bluish white hair and pale frosty skin stood out against the black dress that clung her curvy form.
"You called?" She asked in her ethereal voice staring at Rukia with her pure black eyes that were outlined by clear crystals.
"What's going on? Why am I here with you? Are you going to teach me another dance?" Rukia asked somewhat hopefully.
Sode No Shirayuki started giggling softly but the sound rang off the ice walls like bells.
"You were fatally injured in battle, so the other one has taken control" She said softly gliding toward Rukia with unbelievable grace.
"What other?" Rukia asked confusion evident on her face.
"Close your eyes and see" Sode no Shirayuki said softly into her ear.
Rukia did as she was instructed and her vision was filled with the moving hall of Aizen's lair in Hueco Mundo.
Opening her eyes Rukia stared at Sode no Shirayuki with Confusion.
"What happened? Who is in my body?" Rukia demanded as she remembered her brutal battle with the espada who had eaten Kaien's soul. His weapon had impaled her; it was a wonder that she wasn't dead.
"When you nearly died you gave up control and you soul allowed your hollow to awaken, thus she has taken control of your body" she replied delicately. Her explanation caused Rukia's eyes to wide in horror.
She was just like Kaien.
"No dear your situation differs greatly" Sode no Shirayuki replied gently.
"As a desperate action of survival your soul has taken drastic measures" she continued.
"How do I get control of my body back?" Rukia demanded.
"You must defeat her" Her Zanpakuto said quietly.
"Then I will" Rukia said in a determined whisper.

"hmm interesting" whispered the masked woman as she watched the end of the battle between Ichigo and Grimmjow from her perch on a cliff a healthy distance away from the ending battle.
Purple Eyes followed Ichigo's every move as he delivered his finishing move on Grimmjow, taking the panther hollow by surprise and taking him out.
Ichigo slumped down momentarily and used his sword to brace himself.
"hmm he looks like fun" She said to herself standing up so she get a closer look at him.
She then noticed a brown haired girl running toward her new interest holding a small child in her arms.
"How irritating" the hollow muttered watching the girl make her way to the kneeling orange haired man.
"She looks annoying enough, she can be my first victim," the hollow said wickedly as her lips curved into a sinful grin and made her way toward her prey.
-.-
Ichigo tightly gripped his sword as he tried to concentrate on finding Rukia's spiritual pressure. He felt fear eat away at him as he failed to locate her.
"Kurosaki-kun! Here let me heal your injuries!" Orihime screamed as she ran toward him.
"I have to go get Rukia, come on" he said struggling to stand up.
"Kurosaki-kun please, let me heal you" she pleaded.
"Yeah Ithigo leth her heal you!" Nell screamed.
"No I have to get Rukia, I cant feel her spirit pressure anymore, we haven't got much time" Ichigo said roughly.
"Whaths thath!" Nell screamed pointing to a figure standing in the same spot where Orihime and Nell had just ran from.
"Not another one" Ichigo growled as he got into stance. He inspected his new opponent.
'female, strange hollow mask, bloody shinigami robes, broken white sword….BROKEN WHITE SWORD?' he thought as his eyes widened with recognition.
"RUKIA!" he screamed running toward the still figure.
As he ran close to her he was surprised to see her jump over him and toward Orihime and Nell.

"NO NOT ORIHIME" Rukia screamed out for her friend as her eyes snapped open. Her scream echoed off the icy walls and mocked her.
"I wont let you!" she growled.
"What are you gunna do about it shinigami?" A manic echo of her own voice said behind her.
Rukia turned and inspected her hollow form. Her hollow was clad in a tight black dress that flowed out into an endless black curtain with a sheer white flowing sleeves. Her dress had an embroidered white version of the design that adorned her mask.
'I hate tight clothes' Rukia thought briefly causing her hollow to laugh evilly.
Her electric purple eyes surrounded by black differed from Ichigo's hollow but other than that she looked exactly like Rukia, save for the demented smirk she adorned.
"face it shinigami, I am stronger now that I have been awakened, you wont get your control back" her hollow said through her smirk.
"we'll see" Rukia replied calmly in a low voice.
"Oh you will see, You'll see me kill that annoying girl with irritatingly large breasts and then you'll see me play with that strawberry boy when he's all mine" She said running her tongue over her sharp fangs.
"I wont let you have Ichigo, or hurt Orihime" Rukia replied harshly drawing her sword.
"I wasn't asking for your permission, I'm gunna have my way whether you like it or not" Her hollow said drawing her own sword against Rukia.
O.O
"Rukia-san" Orihime whispered as the small figure of her friend stalled in front of her breathing harshly, but still standing there… not doing anything.
"Whaths wrong with her?' Nell asked as her eyes filled with tears.
"I don't know" Orihime said reaching out to touch her friend.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Ichigo screamed as he ran over to them.
He recognized her struggle and knew that Rukia must be on her way to gaining back control.
"Kurosaki-kun" Orihime whispered as she watched him stare intensely at Rukia's form.
"She's fighting, she's gunna make it, she's getting back her control" Ichigo whispered more to himself than anybody else as he scowled.
The three stood there silently waiting to see the outcome of Rukia's battle.
