Chapter uno: Latching on
"Mugetsu" Ichigo muttered and swung his arm down, annihilating everything in his path, destroying the landscape and his enemy with it, covering it all in his black reiatsu. But through the darkness that enveloped him, shone a light, small, barely conceivable light that approached him; quickly and desperately.
As the light reached him, it floated into him, disappearing from sight. And as the veil of black cleared, there was no Aizen, just a gargantuan crevice in the ground, spanning for miles.
Ichigo fell on the ground with a thump, exhausted after using the one attack that could destroy Aizen once and for all, but in exchange for his powers vanishing; but… this was not the case, he still felt the presence of his Zanpakuto and Hollow lingering in his mind.
'Erm… Guys? Shouldn't we be losing our powers now?' Ichigo mentally spoke to his Hollow and Zanpakuto.
"No idea Kingy" his Hollow said "I've no clue either, Ichigo" Tensa Zangetsu said in agreement, but before anyone said anything else, the soft giggle of a child was heard INSIDE Ichgio's mind, startling all of its previous inhabitants. 'Huh?' "What?" "Who's there!?"
"That would be me~!" the voice of a gleeful little girl sounded within his mind, as he was suddenly pulled into his Mindscape of sideways skyscrapers, back to how it was before he descended into despair, to be greeted by a purple blur, coupled with wild giggling as he was tackled to the ground as he entered. "Gah!" was all he could get out as he crashed on the blue skyscraper.
The purple little blur was a giggling little girl who barely reached Ichigos midsection in height, with silky purple hair and a silver butterfly and flower Pin tucking in her hair behind her right ear, her eyes shifting between all kinds of purple while gleaming in glee and a smile splitting her pale face, as she looked up at the bewildered face of Ichigo. She wore an indigo Yukata with a white butterfly pattern on it and a white Obi to go along with it.
"Wha?!" Ichigo got out "What's going on?!" he asked as he calmed down enough to make coherent sentences, still shocked by the fact that there was somehow another spirit inside his soul. The Hollow(let's call him Shiro for future convenience) was laughing and spluttering on the side of another of the blue skyscrapers, while Tensa was just smirking at Ichigos situation.
"Hey shut up Shiro! You've got nothing to laugh about" Ichigo shouted to his opposite. "Yes I do Kingy!" he says as he finally gets himself under control and leans on Tensa's shoulder for support, "Cause you, possibly the most powerful being ever known, is being tackled down by a little girl!" he shouted back as he went for another bout of insane cackling, causing a tick mark to appear on Ichigos forehead, sighing, letting it go for now.
He looked down at the child that's spread across his torso, still hugging him tightly from her previous tackle, and still smiling up at him.
"So, who are you anyway?" he asked the child as he propped himself up on his left elbow, letting his right hand pass over the little girls head, stroking her hair gently. She nuzzled into the touch and giggled as he closed her eyes; and opened them again after a moment as a sad expression came over her.
"Well… how do I put this…?" she had pulled up to a sitting position and turned herself a bit so she was sitting on his lap, she was furrowing her brow with a small pout to make her look cute, "alright, I'll put it bluntly. I'm the Hogyoku." She said simply as she looked away, expecting a violent reaction.
"WHAT!?"
A/N, Sorry, No New Chapter yet, just fixing some issues I had with this chapter in continuation with the next one... Promise by the end of next month, I will have something before then... so PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! Please?
