Hi! This is Chapter One again! Sada Pazaki helped me edit it so now it's even better than before. Tell me if it's an improvement or not okay? Thanks for the advise.

I do not own any of the characters except but the Hollow Queen.

Chapter 1

Ichigo groaned at the news brought to him by one of his humongous Hell Guards. Apparently he was supposed to go into the past of soul society to stop some evil hallow lady who called herself the Hallow Queen.

"Hallow Queen. Ha! She wishes!"

He may have become the King of Hell for a short while but that place was just a drag and kind of creepy...so he had left. Yet, for some reason unknown to him, he still recieved messages from it telling he how things were doing. He was convinced that he had never known true frustration until his Guards started randomly appearing in his dreams, telling him how many souls entered Hell that day and how the tortures were going. Definitely not his preferred way to spend his nights.

However, since he was apparently the only Hell King available, he was the only one who could go into the past. He wasn't quite sure how it worked but he knew it had something to do with the fact that is was since Hell was past, present, and future thing; it had a consistent time line. Consistently creepy was more like it. There was no arguing with Hell Guards though...

Entering Hell as its king seemed nice enough. He received pleasant hellos from his guards and they were perfectly eager to direct him to the door that would take him to the past. They were so eager in fact, they took his arms and forcibly led him to the door, saying, "Go get her your majesty! She's a bitch who loves to come here and take stabs at us!"

Ichigo couldn't say he felt sorry for them as he was shoved through what looked like a smaller version of Hell's gate. For a brief moment he was surrounded by darkness and his ears popped painfully. He suddenly landed on his hands and knees, the force of which rattled his bones. Shakily standing, he noticed he was in a forest. A vaguely familiar forest...

Pulling his hood up and over his head, he tried to look dangerous. This place was familiar! It was like...soul society. Before it was completely trashed. Had there ever been a before?

After a moment of not seeing anyone in sight, he allowed himself to smile.

"Hey, this place isn't half bad," he walked up to a tree hugged it saying, "Ah, this place is so nice when it's not all ragged and torn apart by soul society's constant fighting!"

Hearing some voices behind him though, he quickly turned around shouting, "I'm not a tree hugger!" he braced himself for a potential fight but froze when he saw who the people were. They were all of the captains with their students and vice captains. Blushing awkwardly, he stood up straight, scratching the back of his head, "Hey there."

The captain commander took a step forward and stated, "Young man, what are you doing in Soul Reaper Forest? How did you get here?"

Ichigo continued scratching his head, trying to figure out what he could say without messing up the time line. Finally he sighed and said, "Actually, I got lost. I was following this big, mean, fat ass, hallow when she made a portal that somehow took me here. You know, one moment I'm in the human world, next thing I know I'm in this weird place. Uh, you called it Soul Reaper Forest right? Mind explaining what a soul reaper is?"

The head commander looked shocked and shouted with a choked voice, "Are you human?"

Ichigo sighed, "Duh! What else would I be? Well I'm not exactly normal but still I am a human," instantly a guy he thought he recognized as Urahara was suddenly in front of him, grabbing his arm and saying, "Amazing! He really is a human in a human body...though he does have high riestu."

Smiling tightly, Ichico pulled his arm out of the others grip and snorted, "Jeez, you act like I came here on purpose. Like I said before, I was following a hallow here."

Urahara crossed his arms, "Suuuure. Hey Kenpachi! What say you?"

A man, presumably Kenpachi, stepped forward and said, "The commander says you must come with us boy."

"I don't think so," Ichico turned and started walking away. The man behind him called after him, "Wait! Where are you going?"

He sighed in frustration, "After the hallow of course! I can't hang around-!"

In a flash he was suddenly being crushed by something wrapped around him. He heard a female chuckle and guessed it was the Hallow Queen. She lightly giggled before hissing, "Why Ichigo, I would never have thought you liked me enough to come to another world for me. Amazing!"

Angered at being caught off guard so easily, he spat out, "You bitch! Let go of me or I will tear you to shreds!" He tried to activate his power over Hell's chains, but she was somehow using her spiritual pressure and strength to temporally keep him from doing so.

She laughed, "Oh, you know just how to flatter me Ichigo! You should just join me and help me destroy these soul reapers. You don't know them right?" she purred into his ear, "So you should feel nothing in hurting them correct?"

She certainly guts, he had to give her that. How did she know who he was though? His identity was supposed to be a secret. He tried to jerk away from her with a snarl, "I would never serve you hallow!"

"Ah Ichigo," she lightly tusked, "We all know that you crave to kill just as much as I love to kill. No need to hide it from me. Come now, release your hallow side. Or even your hellish side! Don't you crave to devour them all?"

Suddenly a syringe appeared, filled with a purple liquid. He tried to jerk away again and saw Azien's eyes widen in horror. Azien shouted, "Stop her from using that on him!" and Ichigo frantically began to struggle; whatever this stuff was, it had to be bad!

She only laughed, injecting the needle right into his throat. He went limp and she let him fall to the ground while he tried to contain his dark side. Stepping away from him, she said to the soul reapers, "Good luck my pretties! If you're lucky, he just might restrain himself!"

She vanished in a flash of light. Ichigo felt himself go cold as he slowly sat up covering the wound on his throat. His breathing coming in gasps, he snarled when he saw the other beings approaching him, "Keep away from me! I don't- no, it hurts...I already fought this once, I refuse to be turned again!"

He looked to see a young little healer boy run up to him. One of the other soul reapers shouted for the boy to stop but he ignored them. With an expression of childlike innocence, he asked, "What did she do to you? She said your name is Ichigo, right?"

Ichigo winced at the pain, "She's forcing me to become the apocalypse...uh, it's a form of mine that can even destroy Hell," he gasped out a chuckle, "I would know since I'm the king of Hell."

The boy blinked and tried to help him stand up, but the moment he got to his feet, the world around him spun and everything went black.
