Ichigo was breathing heavily. He woke up only to bump into something… Or someone. "Ow!" the green/blue haired figure rubbed it's head. There was a bruise. Ichigo looked carefully, his eyes were still blurry. "Who are you?" the teen asked. Nel tilted her head and gave away a confused look. "Why I'm Nel of course!" the girl spoke with joy in every word. Ichigo sighed. Nel then bore a sad look. After carefully looking at the Vasto Lorde she noticed how his eyes were plagued with sadness. The Vasto Lorde had patches of fur in numerous parts of his body, he had black and yellow eyes and horns. 'Looks like the devil.' Nel thought. Nel only laughed. The long haired hollow gave a suspicious look. "Is that REALLY you Ichigo?" she hugged him tightly. "Whose Ichigo?" the teen asked. Nel's heart sank the second she heard those words. Nel began to cry silently. 'What happened while you were alive, Ichigo?' "Ichigo don't you remember?! It's me NEL!" the girl gave a girly scream. Ichigo stared at her for at least five minutes. Ichi desperately tried to find anything, I MEAN ANYTHING, distinct about her. 'The blush?' that wasn't enough. 'The hair?' not it. 'The skull?' nothing. Ichigo pounded his head in the sand. He hated being confused, yet it happened to him so often… Ichigo knew this with his heart, but what Ichigo didn't know was another pair of eyes were watching him and her…

-Somewhere in the ice palace-(Not Elsa's)-

"So he became a hollow after all." the blonde Quincy spoke with respect. "Apparently so.." the king mumbled, only focusing on Ichigo. The banana haired Quincy stared at the powerful king. The king was watching Ichigo as he noticed how he was frowning and trying to remember what happened in his past life…

-Somewhere in Hueco Mundo…-

Ichi was gripping his head hard, to the point of bleeding. "Ichi stop! Your going to hurt yourself!" the women spoke with worry laced in her words. 'Get up, Ichigo!' 'Kurosaki-kun! Save us Kurosaki!' 'You must run my zanpakuto through your very being…' 'Here is the substitute badge!' voices of his closest friends and allies were replaying over and over in his mind. Why? Why can't I remember who you are?! In the back of his mind was the picture of all of soul society and his friends waving goodbye and Rukia giving a sad look.

Back in reality…

"AHHHH!" Ichigo expressed his pain by giving out loud and tortured screams. "Ichigo! Calm down!" Nel didn't know what to do in a situation like this! Nel sat there, watching, as her dear friend screamed in agony… The agony of forgetting what's dearest to him…

In Ichigo's mind…

'Ichigo? Who is that?' 'Ichigo come on remember!' Rukia's voice was like poison to Ichigo's mind. 'Why? I can't..' why didn't any care about his feelings? 'Who is Ichigo Kurosaki?!'

Ichigo only played one, and only one, mantra in his head:

Yuzu

Karin

Isshin

Rukia

Uryu

Orihime

Chad

Mom…

I'm so very sorry… In only a matter of seconds Ichigo realized he was slipping away…

In reality…

"Ichigo! Ichigo!" Nel was trying her hardest to snap Ichigo out of it. Ichigo pushed her hands aside and stood up. He then mumbled to himself: "I'll kill him… I'll make sure nobody can hear his screams… I won't ever forgive him…!" Nel now knew the Ichigo she once knew was Gone…
