Chapter 2

Ichigo turned around, "What are you doing here?" Ichigo asked.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you…yet." the mysterious person said.

Ichigo grabbed for his sword getting prepared for the fight.

"That won't be necessary, I just came here to talk".

Ichigo found it hard to believe but he put down his sword and paid attention to what he had to say.

"What are you doing here Aizen?"

"Like I said, I can tell you why you took that form." Aizen said.

"How then?" He asked in a demanding way.

"It was because you refused to die and lose your friends, those emotions, the cries from them brought you back up to your senses but with something else taking over you".

Ichigo looked down at the ground with a sad look.

"That's basically it of how you turned into that hollow, but for a mere human like you to do something like that just makes you more interesting. You know, the more people that find this out are going to want you to leave the this town and join them."

This ticked Ichigo off, "I'm never leaving Karakura town or the Soul Society!"

Ichigo just remembered another thing, "Oh, and when I was at school, how come I could only feel your spiritual energy? How come Rangiku and the others couldn't?"

"I can control who I want to feel my spirit energy and who I don't want to." He replied.

Ichigo started to become even more frustrated.

"Aizen, I'm going to kill you and all the other espadas."

Aizen grinned, "I would like to see you try, don't get me wrong, you maybe able to kill the espadas, but for me, I don't think so." With that said, Aizen vanished.

Ichigo became frustrated with everything he heard and looked back down at the streets to hopefully calm down. His faced started to calm down, but turned more of a sad look. He flash stepped away and went back to his real body and then headed back to his home. He went in through the window to his room and closed it once he entered. He threw himself onto his bed wishing this day would end and hopefully to forget everything that happened. He rolled onto his side and closed his eyes dazing off into his sleep.

"We don't want you here anymore Ichigo, you're just worthless and a total bitch." Rangiku said.

"You're not the same anymore Ichigo just leave." Orihime said.

"Leave, now." Chad said.

"Get out of here you soul reaper." Uryu said.

"I've always hated you Ichigo, ever since I met you, I knew that one day that you would fuck up." Yoruichi said.

Ichigo just stood there hearing all this and was starting to feel betrayed. Rangiku came up to him glaring at him and slapped him. Ichigo's face was moved to the side as he just stared at whatever was in front of him. Then Chad came up to him and punched him in his gut causing Ichigo to fall to the ground finding it hard to breath. Ichigo started to cough up some blood while holding his stomach. Everyone surrounded him and they all said, "Leave and never come back!" Ichigo could feel the hurtful words soaking in him and making him feel like he was breaking apart. He felt like he had no reason to live anymore, he had to leave town, he lost his family, and now he lost his friends.

"If you don't leave now, I swear by the honor of a Quincy, I will kill you." Uryu said.

Ichigo started to feel lost in his mind, it was like he was just standing in an empty world with no one else there but himself.

"Why…why are ya'll doing this?" Ichigo asked coughing up some more blood.

"We just don't like you anymore Ichigo, face the fact and leave…NOW!" Rangiku yelled at him.

Ichigo couldn't move one muscle, due to the hits he took and the hurtful words that he was absorbing. Rangiku drew her sword pointing it at Ichigo, "Goodbye, Ichigo Kurosaki." she said and stabbed her sword into his chest.

"Ahh!" Ichigo shot up from his bed. He realized that he was alive and that it was just a dream. Ichigo's eyes softened remembering what Aizen first told him when he first met him yesterday.

Flashback

"One day Ichigo, all of your friends will turn on you, even your own family."

End of Flashback

Ichigo got up from bed and decided not to attend school today. He laid back down on his bed and went back to sleep.

Location: School.

Class had already started and Rangiku and all the others were wondering where Ichigo was.

"Hmm…does anyone know where Mr. Kurosaki is?" The teacher asked.

Chad answered her, "No."

"Very well then." the teacher said.

"Leave this town now Ichigo?" Isshin said.

"We hate you"! Both Karin and Yuzu yelled.

Ichigo felt his heart feel like as if it was being stomped on. Ichigo left and then appeared on the bridge next to the river where his mom died. He leaned over the ledge resting his arms on the railing staring down at the water. His eyes softened and started to form tears hearing all those words from his friends and his own family as well. Tears started to fall of his face and into the river; he climbed up and stood on the ledge still staring down at the river. He had no reason to live anymore; he didn't want to join Aizen and his army. He didn't want to leave town but also didn't want to hear anymore hurtful words from them anymore, but he knew that wouldn't happened. "Goodbye…everyone." he leaned his body forward making him fall off the bridge and into the river. He was drowning and didn't bother to rescue himself or anything; he just stayed in the water as his body sunk further down. His breath was shortening every time he went further down; he closed his eyes accepting his death for once.

"I told you that one day your friends and family would turn on you, and they did." Ichigo remembering that in his mind.

After remembering that, he died.

Red and black spirit energy was flowing around Ichigo as he woke up from his dream. He sat up; his eyes were now completely yellow.

"I will not allow this!" Ichigo yelled in a hollow like tone.

Location: School

Chad and everyone else shot up feeling this spirit energy and realized it was Ichigo again.

"Teacher, we'll be right back." Chad said running out with everyone else.

They all were running down the halls, "What's going on now?" Rangiku asked.

"I don't know, he's alone and I don't sense anyone that he could be fighting with." Uryu said.

Location: Urahara's Shop.

Urahara and Yoruichi could feel Ichigo's spiritual spirit energy as well.

"We better get going." Urahara said.

Both Yoruichi and Urahara ran out of the shop and headed towards Ichigo's location.

Location: Karasu River

Ichigo was in his released form again and was staring at the water. He felt people headed his way; he yelled in a hollow like tone as sounding waves of his spirit energy shot out forcing trees out from the ground and flying far away. Yoruichi and the others found Rukia and the gang and joined up with them as they all stopped feeling the spirit energy waves trying to blow them back.

"Ahh." Rangiku yelled folding her arms in front of her head covering it as all the others did the same.

"We got to hurry." Urahara said.

They all ran toward his location again but then stopped feeling people coming nearby. Byakuya, Kenpachi, Toushirou, and Yamamato appeared in front of them.

Rukia and all the others eye's widened.

"Let us handle this." Byakuya said.

"Ichigo has broken a major rule and could be a major threat to the sou society and needs to be killed due to how he can turn into a complete hollow." Yamamato said.

"No, you can't, he'll kill us all." Yoruichi said.

"We're sorry, but this has to be." Byakuya said.

The captains all flash stepped toward Ichigo's place. Yoruichi and all the others stood there frozen hearing what they're going to do.

"We have to help them, they can't handle him even with those other captains." Urahara said.

They all ran toward Ichigo's location.

Ichigo stood there staring down at the river.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura." Byakuya said.

Ichigo felt his presence and dodged his attack.

"Ichigo, you're to be killed here and now for able to turn into a complete hollow. You're considered to be a major threat towards us." Yamamato said.

"He can't understand you captain, that's not the real Ichigo." Kenpachi said.

Ichigo stood there waiting for their attacks.

"Very well then." Yamamato said.

Yamamato held his staff out seeing how it was shattering and a sword appeared in his hand.

"Let's go, Ryujin Jakka." Yamamato said while fire surrounded them all.

"Daiguren, Hyorinmaru!" Toushirou yelled out.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." Byakuya said.

"There's no reason for me to hold back on this one." Kenpachi said taking of his eyepatch as an enormous amount of spirit energy was forming around him.

Ichigo stood there with no action.

"Freeze over the frosted heavens, Hyorinmaru!" Toushirou yelled out shooting an ice dragon out from his sword toward Ichigo.

"Senbonzakura." Byakuya said as a storm of sword fragments shot toward Ichigo.

Yamamato stabbed his sword into the ground as a crack was made and expanded toward Ichigo while flames shot out of it.

Ichigo swung his arm causing the fragments to fly back and made contact at Hyorinmaru causing it to shatter. Ichigo jumped up into the air avoiding the flames; Kenpachi charged at Ichigo laughing menacingly getting ready to swing his sword at him with everything he has. Ichigo stood there in the air and just grabbed Kenpachi's sword with his barehand. Kenpachi's eyes widened seeing his action; He threw Kenpachi down straight to the ground.

"Freeze over the frosted heavens, Hyorinmaru!" Toushirou yelled out again.

Ichigo charged at Toushirou holding out his arm and cutting through the dragon. Toushirou's eyes widened. Ichigo appeared behind Toushirou while Toushirou was shocked of his move. He grabbed Toushirou by the head and charged to the ground and then slamming him into the ground.

"Shuukei, Hakureiken." Byakuya said. A large pair of white spiritual wings and a halo-like circle form behind Byakuya. Byakuya charged at Ichigo getting ready to end this with one swing of his sword. Ichigo stood there grabbing Byakuya's sword, Byakuya's eyes widened. "Impossible." Byakuya said. Ichigo clenched his hand causing Byakuya's sword to break. Seeing Byakuya's sword break caused his Shuukei Hakureiken to vanish. Byakuya stood there in shock while Ichigo kicked him in his gut sending him flying a good distance. Both Byakuya and Toushirou were helpless by now; Yamamato charged at Ichigo with his sword, which was on fire. Kenpachi was charging at Ichigo from behind with all his spiritual energy forming in his sword. Ichigo held out both his arms and grabbed both their swords. Both Kenpachi and Yamamato's eyes widened; Ichigo spun his arms around sending them flying.

"Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six, Rikujokoro!" Byakuya yelled out.

6 bars of light slammed into Ichigo's mid section. Byakuya held out his arm pointing his finger at Ichigo, "Byakurai." A lighting bolt shot out of his finger shooting towards Ichigo. Ichigo held out his hand stopping the lighting bolt and shot it right back at Byakuya. Byakuya dodged the attack, as Ichigo just shattered the bars of light. "Impossible." Byakuya said. Ichigo formed a cero in between his horns aiming it at Byakuya. Byakuya's eyes widened and quickly dodged it and then he saw another cero coming right at him which actually hit him this time. Ichigo stood there without a single scratch looking around making sure that they're useless now.

"Lanza del Relampago." A mysterious person said. A green spear came through the flames hitting Ichigo making it cause a massive explosion. Ulquiorra appeared into the scene already in his second form; He was looking into the smoke trying to see if Ichigo's still there. As the smoked cleared, Ichigo wasn't there. Ulquiorra looked all around looking for him, until he felt a katana stabbing into his stomach. Ulquiorra coughed out blood while Ichigo pulled his katana out and then slammed Ulquiorra's head into the ground.

"Kurohitsugi." Another person called out. A black energy surrounded Ichigo inside and then dozen of energy spears stabbed into it. As it vanished, Ichigo stood there uncut; Aizen's eyes widened, "Impossible." Aizen looked over to Ulquiorra seeing how he was already injured badly. Aizen appeared next to Ulquiorra and picked him up and then disappeared.

Yoruichi and the others finally appeared but couldn't join in seeing how the wall of fire was blocking from anyone leaving or coming in. Ichigo appeared in front of Yamamato and slammed him into the ground pinning him down with his foot on his chest. The walls of fire finally vanished while Yoruichi and all the others eyes widened since they saw what was going on.

"Even those three captains and the head captain couldn't stop him." Urahara said in shock.

Ichigo looked down at Yamamato and formed a cero between his horns. Uryu formed his Lone sparrow and shot several spirit arrows at Ichigo. Ichigo stopped the cero and saw the arrows coming at him. Ichigo let the arrows hit him, which didn't do a thing to him, not even a scratch.

"Awaken Benihime." Urahara said while his cane turned into it's shikai state.

Urahara charged at Ichigo. "Sing, Crimson Princess." He said while he shot a strong crimson colored energy blast at Ichigo. Uryu shot several more arrows surrounding the energy blast that Urahara shot combining into one blast.

"Buraso Derecha De Higante." Chad said as his right arm turned into an armored arm, while shooting a spirit energy blast forming into Urahara's energy blast and Uryu's arrows. The blast became even more powerful and was aiming right toward Ichigo. Ichigo held out his hand catching the blast and clenched his fist causing a massive explosion. Ichigo formed a cero between his horns and fired it at Urahara and the others. "Shit! Chikasumi no tate." Urahara shouted making a blood crimson shield form around everyone. The cero made impact with his shield causing another explosion. Ichigo appeared behind Urahara grabbing his arm and squeezed it causing it to break his arm and then threw him at Chad sending them both flying a few feet away. Then he charged at Uryu and swung his sword up at him making a huge cut appear on his stomach up to the bottom of his neck. Blood shot out as Uryu fell to the ground. Ichigo then placed his foot on Uryu's head pushing it down into the ground.

"Byakurai." Byakuya said shooting another lighting bolt at Ichigo. Ichigo turned around seeing it coming towards him allowing it to hit him so he could show him that it wouldn't affect him. Byakuya's eyes widened seeing how his kido had no effect on him what so ever. Ichigo held out his hand as Byakuya was being pulled toward Ichigo at a great speed. Byakuya was now in Ichigo's grasp; then Ichigo slammed him into the ground.

"Buraso Isukieruda Deru Diaboro." Chad said as his left arm turned into a white and red colored arm. Chad charged at Ichigo while he charged energy into his fingers and then forming a fist. "La Muerte." He said punching Ichigo in the stomach. Chad's eyes widened seeing how it didn't affect him at all. Ichigo swung his arm at him sending him flying a good distance. He then turned back around looking down at Byakuya and Uryu, and formed another cero between his horns. Urahara charged at Ichigo from behind which Ichigo held back his arm and pointed a finger at Urahara forming another cero which shot and hit Urahara making him fall to the ground badly injured. Yoruichi ran up to Ichigo from behind and wrapped her arms around his stomach.

"Ichigo, stop!" she yelled as she started crying into his back.

The cero that was forming in between his horns vanished.

"Ichigo, please stop!" She was still crying onto his back, "Ichigo…please, I don't want anyone else getting hurt or dying. I want the real Ichigo back, the Ichigo that I really cared about... the Ichigo that I love!" She kept crying on him.

Ichigo stood there with his foot still on Byakuya's chest while still glaring at him.

"Ichigo, please…come back to us." Yoruichi kept encouraging him to.

Ichigo turned around facing her while his hollow armor startled to crumble while Yoruichi backed up a bit. She stared up into his eyes while more of the armor started to crumble more.

Toushirou asked Yamamato, "Should we still bring him down?"

"Yes, he has done something that is not allowed to the soul society." Yamamato replied.

Toushirou nodded and looked over to Ichigo, "Freeze of the frosted havens, Hyorinmaru!"

Yoruichi gasped and looked over quickly seeing that Toushirou shot it at Ichigo, "No!" She yelled out. Ichigo felt the attacks spirit pressure coming toward him, his armor fixed itself and he quickly swung his arm shattering the ice dragon. Ichigo looked over at Toushirou with a death glare; He then appeared behind Toushirou and then stabbed his katana through his chest causing him to fall to the ground completely harmless now. Yamamato transferred all his spirit energy into his sword as it was on fire massively. Yamamato charged at Ichigo from behind catching him off guard.

"No!" Yoruichi screamed.

Yamamato pierced his sword through the back of Ichigo and through his chest. His hollow armor shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. Now it was the real Ichigo but with Yamamato's sword still in his body. Ichigo's skin was completely pale; Yamamato pulled the sword out of his body letting him fall to the ground. Ichigo was laying there on his back with no signs of him breathing or anything, blood kept pouring out of his chest making a pool of blood form around him. Yamamato looked down at the lifeless Ichigo as blood kept pouring out. Yoruichi's eyes widened in fear seeing Ichigo lay there like that. She quickly ran over to him sitting on her knees looking down at him.

"Ichigo…wake up…Ichigo." She said.

It was no use, blood just kept pouring out and there was no sign of breathing. Yamamato's eyes softened in sadness seeing how he had to end up killing a good friend of everyone's including him. Yoruichi started to cry again, "Ichigo…wake up…" She kept trying to call out to him. "Ichigo…" Tears kept falling onto him. "Ichigo!" She screamed out in sadness. Rangiku, Rukia, and Orihime, were a good distance away from Ichigo though but also started to cry as well. Clouds started to appear in the sky and it began to rain. Kenpachi, Toushirou, Byakuya, Urahara, Uryu, and Chad stood back up on their feet feeling a bit better and saw Ichigo from afar from their place. Even for the captains, their eyes softened with a sad face seeing that they had to kill a good friend of theirs. Yoruichi leaned down folding her arms on his chest and laying her head on them crying on him as it kept on raining.

Time Skip an hour has passed, Location: Graveyard.

Yoruichi, Orihime, Rangiku, Uryu, Rukia, Chad, Urahara, Yuzu, Karin, Isshin, and all the other soul society captains and lieutenants were there for Ichigo's funeral. As they all stood there seeing Ichigo's casket being lowered into the ditch they dug up for him. Once they placed it inside, they started covering it back up. They all looked at Ichigo's gravestone as it said, "Ichigo Kurosaki 08-26. A very brave and protective friend." Yoruichi started to cry again seeing him be buried into the ground.

"Where am I?" A mysterious person asked himself.

He looked around and saw nothing but pitch-blackness. There was a flash of light that appeared showing that it was another person. "Rise you weakling, you're not done yet!" It became easier to see now, it was Ichigo and the other figure was his hollowed form. "We're not allowing you to die here, not now, not ever." The hollowed form said. Ichigo could feel himself being drowned by spiritual pressure.

Ichigo opened his eyes that were completely yellow and he realized that he was in a small casket. Everyone started to say his or her farewells and leave. Just then, a burst of massive spiritual energy came shooting out from where he was buried. Everyone turned around to see what was going on. A massive hole opened where Ichigo was buried at causing a smokescreen to blur everyone's sight. Then they could see a shadow rising from the hole through the smoke. When the smoke cleared they realized that it was Ichigo, but he was in his released form again.

"Who's dying? Oh, I know it's not me but, for all of you…it's going to be a different story!" The hollowed Ichigo yelled out.

Ichigo formed a cero in between his horns and each hand. He fired it wildly blowing trees away and making huge crates in the ground. Everyone's eyes widened at the sight.

"Bankai!" Renji yelled out.

"Behold, Zabimaru."

Ichigo looked down at Zabimaru, "Ahahaha you expect that weak looking thing to even touch me?"

"Roar Zabimaru!" Renji threw Zabimaru toward Ichigo, which Ichigo just chuckled to his attempt. Ichigo raised his hand up and sliced it down cutting Zabimaru into pieces. Renji's eyes widened, "Hahahahaha what a failed attempt!" Ichigo laughed.

Yoruichi looked up seeing Ichigo not believing that he could pull this off.

"The whole soul society can't defeat me, no matter how hard you try, I'm basically the ruler of the soul society!" Ichigo looked down at Captain Yamamato's direction, "Not even you could've stopped me, even if you all ganged up on me, it still can't help you all. Hahaha!" Ichigo laughed insanely.

"Gah…no, I can't let you take over me!" The real Ichigo said.

"It's no use, I'm the only way that can keep you living." Hollowed Ichigo said.

"No, I'm not going to let you hurt anyone!"

"Huh? No, stop…what are you doing? Ahhh!"

Ichigo started to struggle, "No! I'm the only way that can keep you alive!"

The hollowed armor began to crumble. Everyone stood back and watched to see what was happening. The armor started breaking seeing how pieces started to break off and fall to the ground. Ichigo reached up to his face placing his hand over it grabbing the top of the horns and pulling them off. Massive spiritual energy was flowing around him that was out of control.

"Ahh!" Was the last thing that the hollow Ichigo could say as the rest of the armor broke off and the spiritual energy erupted sending a few people back. Ichigo took off the horns along with the mask dropping his arm and letting go of it letting it fall to the ground. Ichigo's body was now beginning to feel dead weight again. Ichigo looked down at everyone seeing how he had little to do. He fell down to the ground at fast speed. Once he hit the ground, everyone was just staring in fear at him. The hollow armor pieces started rising into the air and forming above Ichigo. The pieces of the armor formed into spirit energy and spun down into Ichigo covering up the hole like it did before. Everyone felt Ichigo's spiritual pressure coming back to him, and was shock of what just happened.

Yoruichi looked at him with worrying eyes, "Yoruichi…you don't… need to worry… about me." Her eyes widened to hear that from a certain someone. Ichigo tried getting up but he was too weak to get up and fell back down. Yoruichi ran to him and got down on her knees again looking down at Ichigo placing her hands on his chest. "Ichigo?" She asked curiously. Ichigo opened his eyes, "Heh, yup…" He coughed up some blood. Yoruichi's eyes started to form tears again relieved to see that he was alive. Tears fell onto his chest, "Ichigo…" She couldn't complete her sentence since she was so happy to see him alive. Ichigo sat up, "It's ok Yoruichi, I'm fine now." She quickly wrapped her arms around him crying into his shoulder. Everyone else was relieved to see him alive and some of them cried in happiness.
