Urahara and Isshin make there way out side to gather the rest of the medical equipment for Ichigo, leaving Renji behind to look after him.

"I don't care! I will have Kings Power to my self!" He all but pouts his declaration. 'Aww Hichi-kun, try to under stand…' He glares at her waiting for the rest of her sentence that never comes. "Understand what?" He growls pinching the bridge of his nose and watching as her cheerful demeanor turns to a sinister dark glow and she answers. 'Your not strong nuff to take it away.'

Looking at her dumfounded for all of three minutes then pointing an accusing finger her way with a tirade's. "Ha, I new it, ya wants king's power fer yer self!" She looks at him with a hurt frown. Now, now Hichi-kun Ichi-sama's power is his and his alone you just aid him with a boost ever so often.

She terns away from him to look for Zangetsu, she after all wants an intelligent conversation.

Hichigo takes the opportunity to attack her, she turns back suddenly in time to stop him from grabbing her, the two wrestle shoving each other back and forth. This is not going to end well. Shichigo growls as the hollow grins at her. "Aww, was da mater scared of losing?" He snickers as she death glares him 'No I'm worried that this little skirmish is going to attract unwanted company.' She attempts to throw him to the ground but he jumps to the movement landing on his feet and shoves her back, he smashes a knee up to land on her stomach but she blocks with her leg. Outside of Ichigos body his reiatsu flutters and fluctuates, going unnoticed by anyone.

Urahara and Isshin rush with the equipment as Ichigos reiatsu begins climbing out of control. Renji sits quietly pondering to himself as weather or not he should contact sole society with the news, surely someone should know what happened. As he reaches for his communicator, the spiritual pressure emitting from the teen spikes incredible high, nearly suffocating the redhead.

Shichigo scrambles to her feet after being thrown to the ground and rushes Hichigo, who is dissolving from the inner world to the front line of Ichigo's conscience. So that he can seize control of his king and his power. "Later, doll." He sneers a grin only to replace it with surprise as Shichigo grabs hold of him. 'No you don't!' She hisses in response as they dissolve together. After reappearing in Ichigos consciousness, she lands a left fist onto the hollows cheek knocking him back. He spin kicks at her and she dukes under avoiding the strike.

'This is pointless! All you're doing is attracting unwanted pests!' She growls, tossing several punches at him. "Aaaw, don worry doll I'lls take care of em." He grinned dodging another punch only to be caught by surprise as a foot connects to the side of his face landing him on the ground. He kicks at her and she swiftly dodges. Your not gonna do much damage down there Hichi-kun.

"Dam it." Isshin growls as he and Urahara hurry through the door and to the basement. "Feels like the fight started doesn't it?" Urahara muses more than asks.

Renji sits frozen in place nearly unable to move or breath as the teen's reiatsu pours out. Dam it I should tell someone! The redhead growls to him self as he reaches for the cell-phone looking communicator to contact sole society. It begins beeping before he can open the device.

"Great." He stats aloud solemnly. A hollow, just one bloke from here. He stands to go so that he can dispatch the creature quickly and return to help with Ichigo, nearly out side of the tent the communicator sounds off again. "Another…" Renji closes the communicator and it sound off again. Rushing over to Isshin and Urahara he informs them there are twelve high level Hollows on there way to the Shoten.

"Yes with all of Ichigo's spirit pressure beaconing them, they'll be here in no time." Urahara offers blandly. Renji's communicator sounds yet again though this time it goes unanswered. A distorted black hole begins ripping and opening into the ceiling of the shoten basement, and hollow's begin to flood through the portal.

'See what you've caused!' Shichigo growls as they shove against one another hand's and finger locked onto and entwined with each other. "What er ya scared, Shichi?" He coos at her with his trademark psychotic grin as he quickly twists around and flings her over his shoulder to the ground. She twists and terns in air landing on her feet, he sighs frustrated at her agility and rushes her. Locking hand's together, toe to toe, forehead to forehead the two push and shove each other, trying to force the other down to claim victory.

Urahara dispatches four hollows as Renji slays five, but really this is no time to count! Is it? Isshin destroys two as a third sneaks up on him knocking him to the ground quickly; it slams its arm down on him but never connects as it dissolves into thin air. Isshin watches as Zabimaru returns to a reasonable size before Renji launches it into another enemy, before number seven dissolved a red blast scatters everyone blowing away the tent that had surrounded Ichigo.

The slumbering shinigami's souring reiatsu shielding him and the bead from flying away with the rest of the surrounding's. Urahara, Renji and Isshin instantly flash step's to surround the boy. "Dam, that was too close." Renji growls, eyeing the hollows in his line of sight as Isshin gives a reassuring. "Ha, ha!" Urahara glances over his shoulder to ensure Ichigo is still Ichigo and is surprised to see the boy's hands moving, griping the bead sheets fiercely. Urahara grins to himself to be cut short as his body fills with dread.

'"Son of a bitch, that was close!"' Shichigo and Hichigo curs in unison as they stand blinking dumbfounded cheek to cheek. Slowly looking at each other through the corners of there eyes, but the Hollow becomes distracted as he notices something just behind the female version of his King. 'It's going to happen again. There not watching above them.'

Hichigo looks barley able to see a massive form through the now squinting eyes of his kings corporal body as the figure is bleared by a shimmering of red energy. 'We need to move…!' Shichigo orders. "If ya'd let go o me I'll move em for us!" Hichigo growled 'Sorry Hichi-kun I just cant trust you.' They glare at one another then to the sky, Shichigo glances to one side as she noticed a distorted movement and Hichigo looking back behind her to realize he wasn't seeing things.

"Above us!" Urahara shouts out as the other two glances up at the large hollow preparing a missive cero blast. Urahara spins to thunk Ichigo on the side of his head with the flaming scull emblem at the bottom of his Cain, the blast is released and hurtles towered them. "What the hell are ya doing? What if it's not Ichi…" The read head, cut short of his fit is shoved to safety by Isshin. All three men firmly planted on the ground as the energy mass whirls, twists and howls around them yet never touching any of them.

Renji looks up slowly only to be meet with haunting black eyes with burning gold irises looking back at him with a leer. "Oh my." Urahara muses as the Hollow representation of Ichigo terns to death glare him, which was when the tattooed red head noticed the hollow was carrying the unconscious soul reaper Ichigo.

"How interesting!" Isshin blurts out as the others look at him looking up at there shield…wait did they have a shield to begin with! Renji looks up as he is smacked in the face with a flamed embroidered Wight Haori. Ripping it from his face he glares at the figure, Is that Ichigo?

He asks himself then glances to the hollow, which has his own shocked stupor plastered to his face. Hichigo never imagined the female would be so powerful as to be able to deflect the massive cero blast and what's more she's not even straining.

DAM IT! She's such a show off! … That's my department. He frowns then notes she's holding Ichigos corporal body, the cero blast dissipates into thin air. Hichigo grins sadistically leaping to his feet and pointing his fingers at the massive hollow that had realest the cero blast and unleashed his own, blowing the monster in half.

Shichigo glances at him and then to the Ichigo shinigami he held at the waste hunched over. 'Still sleeping?' she ponders out loud.

She turns to deposit Ichigos corporal body to Isshin and firmly locks eyes with Hichigo, he rolls his with bitter frustration and plops the shinigami version onto Renji's lap. He then draws out his version of Zangetsu; Shichigo holds her hand out in the direction of the slumbering shinigami.

May I barrow you, Zangetsu? The sword on Ichigos back disappears and reapers, hilt in hand and after giving a mischievous grin to each other the Hollow Ichigo and the Representative Ichigo quickly slice and plow there way through hollow after hollow inching there way closer and closer to the distorted portal. "I…is that Ichigo?" Isshin asks as Renji sneers. "If that's supposed ta be Ichigo, then who the hell am I holden?"

"I think we should be more concerned as to why Ichigo's hollow is cooperating and not worry to much a bought the new representative." Urahara waggles a finger at the red head. "And I do believe the Ichigo look-a-like is another split spirit form of Ichigo. The hollow version was created through the necessity to fight and not lose, therefore the new one has to be of an equivalent reason."

Renji looks at hem blankly with a slight pink tinge to his cheek, he hate's sounding like a small child asking questions like this one when he should so obviously know the answer. And of all the people to have to sound foolish in front of than, Kisuke Urahara.

"So is he a representative or a split spirit?" "Good question, I was a bought to ask the same thing!" Isshin blares out head patting a now fully blushing Renji. Urahara gleams and sparkles he's definitely gonna teas Renji a bought this one for a long time. "Well! Just as that one is a representative of the will to fight…" Urahara points at Hichigo. "…then the other is surly a representative of another part of Ichigos subconscious." Both men stare blankly at the utterly simple explanation, a simplicity that's not one of Urahara's forte then shiver at the combination of his gleaming, for his answer, and Hichigo's sadistic laughter.

As Renji shivered a stray hollow appeared behind him. "Scream Benihime!" The wayward hollow smashes its clawed fists agents the red blood shield predeceased by Urahara's sword, sending Renji scrambling to his feet away from the said hollow lugging the sleeping Ichigo with him.

Before any of the men could counter attack a cero blast slices through the hollow's mask. Renji's tattooed eyebrow twitched as a very angry ecoish voice screamed at him. "Ifen ya go's en get King killed I'll make ya suffer for I kill ya!" The irate albino turns back to give Shichigo a glance, she nods and the two slices through the mass of hollows blocking them from the portal. With there removal they stand back to back facing the distorted whole, Hichigo on the right and Shichigo on the left.

They raise there weapons, as Shichigo quickly ponders how Zangetsu can be in two places at once but quickly relinquishes that thought for later as they unisonly summon a Getsuga Tenshou and hurling the attack into the portal, destroying it.

'Well with that done these small fries will be a snap to clean up.' Shichigo smiles aloud splitting the head of another hollow, Hichigo gleams his usual psychotic grin and rushes after as many hollows as possible. Urahara dispatches another hollow before it gets to close to the group and to close to both parts of Ichigo that were leafed in there care. He then surveys the room as there are no longer any hollows left save the albino version of Ichigo.

"Well that was fast wasn't it." Isshin observes more than he asks, standing next to a befuddled Abarai as they each hold onto an Ichigo counterpart. The red head terns to ask a question mouth agape but his inquiry is forever lost as he come face to face with a pair of black eye's and gold irises death glaring him. The hollow Ichigo snarls and harshly grasp's at his slumbering King, Renji struggles unwilling to give up the boy to a hollow.

"Let go dumb ass, he's mine!" thunk "…uun…" Hichigo falls to his knees grasping his now pounding head as Shichigo stands above him with Zangetsu's hilt pointing in the direction of his agitated head. 'My, my so possessive aren't we.' She smiles, Hichigo shades his eyes from the sparkly-ness of her gleaming. "Bitch." Is all that is heard from the albino rubbing his head. Renji blinks several times before stuttering out.

"Y…you…you look like Ichigo…" He trails off as he looks the figure over nearly convulsing after the downing realization kicked the hell out of him, he drops the shinigami as his mouth falls open and he gapes at her. "You! You look like a woman! Wha…what the hell are tho…!" He cuts himself short knowing dam well he sounds like a moron and is positive his face is blushing bright red as he feels as though he's a bought to burst into flames, his embarrassment is not help as a grinning Isshin wraps an arm over his shoulder's and stats loudly with a thumbs up. "There called Breast, boy and a fine example."

Now turning blue, since he forgot to breathe, the red head inches away from them slowly. 'Why thank you!' She gleams even brighter. "Sh'up you perv! And you, you keep yer dam close on dis time!" Hichigo glares at the two holding her haori shut after quickly tying her obi tighter.
