The story takes place after Ichigo fought Grimmjow with his new uninvolved Visored Powers

Ichigo's lying on his bed trying to sleep.

"Shit. " he rolls over to the side making an angry face.

He knows if that Shinji bastard hadn't come to help them he'd be dead right now.

"I have to get stronger or I won't be able to protect the ones I want to protect."

Meanwhile in his inner World:

Zangetsu's standing on a skyscraper watching the dark gray clouds on the sky of Ichigos inner World.

"Ichigo, are you worried again? Why are you not able to strife away your worries with the powers you gained from us?"

"'cause this Idiot...,"

Dust is taking form behind Zangetsu.

"Can't use them when he pushes away his instincts."

White hair, pale skin, golden eyes on black ground and the same old evil smirk on the face that's like Ichigos.

"Yo. I am back."

"You haven't had stayed away for long, have you?"

"You're right. I wonder why that's like it."

A rain drop falls to Shirosaki's feet.

"Bastard. Right when I appear you have to let it rain."

He turns to Zangetsu who shows him his back and says.

"I go and teach this bastard a lesson."

Zangetsu only answers.

"Do as you like but don't scare him or we soon will need to learn how to swim."

"Tse, like hell we do.'"

Shirosaki disappears.

Back to Ichigos Room

Ichigo's still lying on his bed staring at the ceiling.

The cupboard opens and Kon jumps out. With fluffy squeaking he moves over to Ichigo while complaining.

"Ichigo what are you so mad about? Don't always make this angry face you're freaking the shit out of me with that look. Do you even know how to smile?"

Ichigo doesn't react on Kon's mumbling.

"Hey Idiot, I am talking to you. You'll never get -"

He jumps on Ichigos bed.

"- such a nice girl like Rukia nee-chan with a pathetic face like that."

Kon climbs on Ichigo and runs from his legs up to his face. He pushes his fluffy lion head in Ichigos eyesight and says.

"You sure you're alright?"

Ichigo closed his eyes.

"Kon."

"Eh, yeah?"

"GET THE HELL BACK; YOU'RE TO CLOSE!"

He grabs Kons head and throws him against the Wall on the other side of the room.

"'I just wanted to-"

Dust appears in front of Kon.

Shirosaki found his way to the real world.

"HELP!"

Kon shouts the last word and jumps in panic back to Ichigo.

"A, a, a w-white Ichigo?"

Ichigo gets shocked by these words and sits up staring at his white double.

"You."
