Summary: "I don't know why, I don't know how, but I was free from Kurosaki Ichigo." After The battle that had happened in Ichigo's inner world Ichigo had pushed the blade into the Hollows chest. Ichigo left his soul thinking the hollow would be dead. The hollow with no name, thought he himself was dead aswell. Turns out no. Hes alive. And he's free. What happens when a hollow is freed? What happens when a hollow falls in love? A creature born from madness anger and hunger, cant possibly feel anything but those things... can it?

This is a The 2nd story to The faded hero. Although the first one doesn't necessarily have to be read before this as it is quite a separate story although it might make more sense to the reader. This short story is written in the point of view of the Hollow with no name(Ichigo's inner world hollow). And also in the point of view on another... *not revealing anything, but this character is completely made up. I was going to use an existing character and I tried working with some, but really they didn't quite fit, so yeah..ive made a character up before in My eternal keeper, and people seemed to like him, so am gonna try for this one.. Please read, please enjoy, and please review :)

"I HAVE NO NAME!"

Chapter 1 A Hollow's Wish

Hollow's point of view

I could hear voices. Loads of voices. All kinds of people talking. Mostly in hushed whispers. But they still traveled over to me. Why can I hear voices? I'm dead aren't I?

If I'm not dead, why can I hear all of these different voices? The only voice I should be hearing is Zangetsu's.

The other would be gone by now. He won. He defeated me. I'd say it was a cheap trick. But really I would of done it myself, if I'd of thought of it first.

It was smart. Fair play.

Still it didn't stop me from being angry, or my blood from boiling.

I opened my eyes, with effort. My body ached all over. It felt like I had been ripped out of something. But I enjoyed the pain and the discomfort. That's what I told myself at least.

I could see trees. There branches intertwining. Sunlight shining brightly through there green leaves.

Trees? Since when have there been tree's in Ichigos inner world?

When the wind caught the branches the sunlight had free rain to shine into my eyes. It hurt. I preferred darkness. Darkness was always good to be in.

This isn't Ichigo's world is it?

I sat up. The ache in my body turned up a notch. But I enjoyed the feeling. Its a good feeling. Makes you stronger.

Confused I looked around. All around me were trees, but just ahead an opening. There was pure unfiltered sunlight there. It disgusted me. I hate it.

Voices again interrupted my thoughts.

"Its okay, you'll be okay"

"Come on, we'll get you cleaned up"

The voices were humans. I could tell. They held no power. They were kind voices. Almost like the people who were taking were at a funeral. It was all hushed is if the person they were speaking to would break into a million pieces if they spoke loudly.

Intrigued by others misfortune, I got up and crouched near to the opening. Covering most of myself behind a tree.

What I saw I couldn't quite understand at first. It was a small group of people crowded around something kneeling on the ground.

I could hear the creature openly sobbing. The others around it shifted uncomfortably trying to calm it down. Two males decided to give up, or they just wanted to give him some space.

The boy sobbing had bright orange hair. As bright as the sun.

Joy suddenly overwhelmed me, as I realized what I was seeing.

Ichigo was on the ground unable to control his emotions. He had obviously lost his soul reaper powers due to the final getsuga tenshou. Which had destroyed the world Zangetsu and I lived in.

I couldn't stop the grin from covering my face. He was pathetic. He'd always been the same. He knew what was going to happen to him before he used the final move, and he had accepted it, but living it in reality, and seeing the people you've grown accustomed to suddenly not there any more, must be to much for him. Stupid. Who needs such emotions.

I walked back into the trees so I could stand properly with out being seen.

I held my hands into the air. Ultimate pleasure and greed taking over all my other senses and emotions.

I didn't know why, I didn't know how, but I was free from Kurosaki Ichigo.
