What if in an alternate universe of Bleach...
"Mommy! Save the Lady!" Screamed a five year-old Ichigo as a plastic-like lady drowned in the river. Masaki was at a loss, if she "saved the lady" she and her son would be eaten by the hollow, but if she did nothing... same verse as same as the first. Suddenly Ichigo ran to the lady and masaki, eyes wide, decided to do something. She was about to give her life for her sons when the hollow's arm went a way that she didn't expect, snapping at an unnatural angle, the arm struck Ichigo. If someone were to stop time at that moment one would see confusion, heartsickness, scared, and disbelief on Masaki's face. If one were to look at Ichigo at that moment they would say "Wait that's Ichigo?" Ichigo was transforming into a terrifying hollow creature with reiatsu, she would bargain, stronger than her or her husband combined. In an instant the hollow was dusted. Masaki was to scared of her son she didn't know what to do.
