I do not own bleach or anything associated with it!

"W-WHY! W-WHEN?" stuttered Ichigo and pointing nervously at his hollow

"Like I said…" laughed the cold echo of his inner hollow.

"Z-Zangetsu! Can't you just stick him in a box?" Ichigo angrily punched the table.

"This is for now, Ichigo. I can't even think in your own inner world…"

"Sorry ole' man…" Ichigo sad sadly but then turned to his hollow and his scowl grew larger.

The Hollow was satisfied.

Chapter 1

Entrance of a Zanpaktou

-Inside Ichigo's Inner world-

Ichigo's Hollow gave questions that could kill by irritation anytime, anyway. When he would get bored, he would try to spread the annoyance to Zangetsu and promptly love the results since that was the only thing to see and do other than watch Rain when it had fallen, or wait till a battle had begun with Ichigo. But this time it was a drought. A drought that would clearly never go to an end until Ichigo had to choose it was an end. But in Karakura Town It was only the beginning. So it also meant it was the beginning of an overheated-psychotic-Hollow stuck In Ichigo's world, for now.

"Can't we just go quickly out to the world of the living-"

"No."

"How 'bout King?"

"No."

They both paused for several moments until he asked again.

"How… about…right…now…?" He had asked almost in a slow motion tone.

But Zangetsu always put it to a No for the rest of the questions.

"For once I WISH there was Rain!" He moaned while waving his arms to catch breeze. "What's his mood this time? And WHY oh Freaking WHY does it HAVE to be so hot in here!"

"Hey! Zangetsu. Zangetsu? Zangetsu. Zangetsu can ya hear me?"

But Instead Zangetsu wasn't at all listening. He was also thinking:

What mood could Ichigo exactly be in? I need to talk to Ichigo Himself but I can't even think! It has been hot for a long time now…

"Don't get to close." Zangetsu stopped thinkingand relized him leaning in to stare so close he would be able to see the sweat ready to fall.

"Just makin' sure…." He grinned a large smile as he slid away from Zangetsu.

"We're going." Is what all Zangetsu would say for now.

"What?" Where? When did this happen? Hey! Did you have a private conversation with King!"

Zangetsu stepped off his flag pole (He didn't fall like expected to.) and took out his arm from his dark cloak and reached it out as far as it could go and then slowly, his own hand went to a fist and ripping the sky like a garganta.

By the time Ichigo's spirits disappeared the beeping sound of Ichigo's badge screeched:

HOLLOW! HOLLOW! HOLLOW! HOLLOW!

And for once Ichigo's World was empty and silent.

-Karakura High-

Ichigo raised his hand for the same excuse; to go to the restroom. Rukia did the same Right after Ichigo left the classroom. They agreed just the two of them would be ok for hollow hunting and left within a flash.

"That's weird…" Rukia clicked her phone screen on and off.

"What's up?"

"The location is where the hollow is, is screwing with the signal…. Its like its there but not there!"

"Your stupid phone It's broken I bet…" He murmered

Rukia peered at the location and grunted in surprise as she looked more closely.

"Whats wrong?" Ichigo stopped to look at Rukia, who also stopped waving the phone around with a nervous look.

"Ichigo. It's coming from your place…" Rukia shoved the phone in Ichigo's face to show the flashing red button but disappearing and reappearing like it was a flicker more or less.

"Its just looks like its waiting or standing." She added.

"Better advantage. We'll be doing the same too if we don't hurry up." Ichigo said and started to sprint biuling to building But Ichigo was stopped by Rukia.

"Fool! It may not be a hollow… it could be a Shinigami, but is it attacking a hollow at the exact same spot…? Such a distance would kill it immediately though. But we are the only Shinigami around this district so I don't understand…

"What the hell is going on? Is it a hollow or not!"

Rukia sighed and shut the phone and finally said:

"I don't know."

Ichigo and Rukia then decided it must've been an error after waiting for a pure five minutes staring at the flickering on and off light as they hurried back to their class.

-Kurosaki Clinic-

In Ichigo's room, where it also stood silent and nobody had any whereabouts in the house at all.

Only seconds later a ripping and Crackling sound echoed like lightning in Ichigo's room. It turned dark, like no windows or cracks could let sunlight in. It turned cold, like no heat was ever reached in the room in a life time.

And a thud came from the wooden floor. The Hollow burst with excitement in his mind and held in a smile, while Zangetzu stepped out from the dark ripple ( And luckily seeing The hollow before stepping on him on time) in the middle of the room.

Im…free…thought the Hollow… he didn't care about the pain at all when he crash landed from the dark dimension…he was free.
