Hollow Child
Chapter 1
On a rainy day Ichigo Kurosaki was walking home with his mother. He saw a girl who looked like she was about to jump, he raced to save her, not knowing the danger. This is the day Ichigo Kurosaki died. His mother would weep over the loss of her son.
However Ichigo Kurosaki was not gone from this world. His body reformed and a Hollow was born. Ichigo wandered for years feeding on Hollows that entered the Human World. He didn't feed on any souls except for Hollows. It became known to souls of a Hollow with orange hair protects the souls in the Human World.
Every night before Ichigo went to sleep, he was drawn to a certain house. He saw his mother and sisters, and his father. Seeing them made him feel alive, and more human. He held onto his memories of them. He had to grow and evolve as a Hollow in order to hang onto his memories.
Ichigo grew and grew until on his 16th birthday he felt his memories start to slip away. He screamed and howled. "No No No, I won't forget them. I won't!" Ichigo ripped his mask off and a massive wave of power was released.
Ichigo's hair was long to his waist, and his mask covered up 30% of his face. His Hollow Hole was in his chest. What was different was that he had two swords. After his rebirth as an Arrancar he passed out.
Urahara followed the massive release of spiritual pressure. He was shocked to see an Arrancar let alone realize who he was. "I wonder if I should tell Isshin about this?"
Deciding to figure it out later Urahara took Ichigo back to his shop. Ichigo stirred and slowly woke up. When he saw he was in a strange room he had never seen before he got defensive. 'What the hell is going on?'
'Glad you are awake King.' Shirosaki spoke.
"Who's there?" Ichigo snapped out loud.
"Hello there Ichigo." Urahara said walking over to him.
"You know my name?" Ichigo asked his eyes softening. "Yes I do, and my name is Urahara." Ichigo looked Urahara over. "Mr. Geta-Boshi." He said and Urahara anime fell. Urahara laughed as he got back up. "You certainly are an interesting one Ichigo."
"So what do you want with me?" Ichigo said his eyes narrowing. "What I would like to do is help you. You are an Arrancar a Hollow who has removed his mask an attained Shinigami powers. However you are different from other Arrancar." Urahara got closer to Ichigo and pointed at his two Zanpakutō. "Normally Arrancar only have a sword for their release form but you have two." Urahara revealed his Zanpakutō. "Your other Zanpakutō seems to be more like a Shinigami's."
"So what does that mean?" Ichigo asked moving away from Urahara. "It means we can help each other out. Your Zanpakutō can help cleanse Hollows. If you go around dispatching the Hollows I can help you have a life as a human."
Ichigo was curious at this. "I have come up with a special Gigai candy. If you swallow it you will appear human and people can see you." Urahara said handing over the small red candy. "You will be able to use your powers but if you use your Cero the Gigai will break." Ichigo nodded in understanding.
"So I could see my family again, and all I have to do is dispatch any Hollows that attack the town." Ichigo looked at Urahara, he nodded. Ichigo clutched the red candy. "I'll do it."
"Great and don't worry I will set you up with a name so you can attend school and I will let you work in my shop." Ichigo stabbed the ground really close to Urahara's face. "Thanks but no thanks I appreciate the Gigai but I just want to see my family."
Ichigo stood up grabbing his Zanpakutōs and heading out. Urahara stopped him. "The Gigai will break after 24 hours of use that's a fact and I can make more, but you won't receive anymore unless you follow my rules. You will go to school and help out around my shop."
Ichigo growled and began releasing a massive amount of spiritual pressure. Urahara gulped and backed away. Tessai and Jinta ran up ready to attack Ichigo. Ichigo calmed down and sighed. "Fine, but that's as far as it goes, if you try to add more to your little list, I will sever this arrangement myself." Ichigo used Sonido and left Urahara's shop.
"Kisuke are you sure this is wise." Tessai asked. Urahara grinned. "Not at all but I have faith in him."
