Shadows Past

"Get off!" The twisted voice of Ichigo snarled as he shook off Chie.

"You're that cluster a shadows from earlier aren't you?" Chie asked as she created a barrier around him preventing him from moving.

"Well done, but I'm am not a cluster of shadows my dear," Ichigos black form said as he punched at Chies barrier. "The names Amatsu-MikaBoshi, but just call me Amatsu. It's easier to scream when I kill you."

"Bastard! What did you do with Ichigo?" Chie screamed a sweat breaking out on her forehead as Amatsu repeatedly bashed at her shield.

"He and his company are in here, their trying to regain control." A cruel icy laugh echoed around the area sending chills down everyone's spine.

"Sir what shall we do about the execution?" asked the captain commanders lieutenant.

"We shall continue as planned, the ryoka can wait." Ordered the old commander.

"Ichigo if you're in there hurry up! They're going to execute her! Do you really want that to happen?" Chie screeched at the possessed Ichigo, she recognised the girl on the stand from when they'd had a mass killing spree. She was someone Ichigo cared for just like the others. "I can't hold this barrier for long anyway! So hurry up Ichigo!"

Ichigos inner world

'What's going on?' Ichigo asked looking at the pissed faces of his hollow, Neuva and Tensa.

*Our recent occupant has possessed you!* growled Tensa as he pulled Ichigo up.

'How're we supposed to deal with it then?'

-We can drag him back in here, you just need to weaken him.-

'Just tell me what to do, I have to save Rukia!'

-All ya got to do king is start hacking at that thing there.- Shiro pointed to a mass of human shaped darkness not too far away from them. As they got up a scream echoed through his mindscape, it was Chie. "Ichigo if you're in there hurry up! They're going to execute her! Do you really want that to happen? I can't hold this barrier for long anyway! So hurry up Ichigo!"

'They're still going to execute Rukia?'

*Why would there be reason to stop? It only takes a few seconds.*

-You'll be able to save her is you hurry up kingy. Now go!- Shiro yelled pushing Ichigo in the direction of the ominous figure. Tensas sword appeared in his hand and Ichigo turned around to ask them something, but they were gone.

'Damnit!' He cursed as he charged at the mass. He started slashing at it and the thing began to writhe and scream in pain white blood falling from the wounds.

On the outside

More sweat beaded on Chies forehead as she struggled to keep the barrier up. It had only been a few minutes since Amatsu had taken control of Ichigo, the girl was still alive for the moment. It seemed that the execution apparatus was taking its time to appear.

"Come on Ichigo." Chie whispered. Just at that moment three figured appeared from Ichigo. It was Shiro, Tensa and Neuva. They indicated at Chie to drop the barrier to which she complied. After releasing the barrier Chie collapsed to the floor from fatigue.

"You guys ready?" The white clad young man said his white hair lifting in the gentle wind. His opposite mirror image nodded as did the albino Arrancar. The three figures walked closer to Ichigo and took positions up in a triangle around him.

"You think you can stop me? I'll show you were your arrogance gets you-"Amatsu cut himself off as he began screaming. The shadows that coated Ichigos body began to spike as they became increasingly unstable.

"Now?" The Arrancar asked its double voice reverberating around everyone. The spectating captains wanted to jump in and take down the hollow. Before they could even react the three young figures reached towards the fluctuating shadows that clung to Ichigo.

"Now!" screamed the black clad young man. In unison the three reached into the shadows and gripping tightly they began to pull in three different directions. The shadows seemed to resist and the three began to pull harder. Soon the pale form of Ichigo became visible beneath the darkness, sweat was pouring down his face as if he was fighting a battle no one else could see. The group didn't let up and kept pulling. The shadowy mass they were holding began to bite and claw at their hands but the boys seemed not to care and with one last tug they removed the shadows from Ichigo.

As soon as the shadows left Ichigo they disappeared leaving no trace they were ever there. The boy they'd left began to fall and would've hit the ground had the back haired boy not caught him. Gently Ichigo was lowered to the floor before the boy yelled at him.

"Get up you idiot!" The boy had a young voice, one that was full of wisdom of a soul. A voice everyone recognised would be a zanpakuto which made them relax a small amount.

"Okay Tensa I'm getting up." Groaned Ichigo as he struggled to bring himself upright.

"Not fast enough! I'll get Rukia, you're obviously in no state to do anything." The long white-haired hollow disappeared from everyone's view only to reappear next to Rukia who was levitating in mid-air. The boy materialised a sword after grabbing Rukia and destroyed the giant wooden stand before the fiery bird could even form. He landed next to Ichigo lightly dropping Rukia as he did so earning a few complaints which he paid no attention to.

"Hey Rukia. It's nice to see you," Ichigo said coughing up some blood.

"Ichi-Ichigo?" Rukia quivered as she eyed up the blood covered hollow-like boy.

"Why are you quivering! Of course it's me!" He yelled at her before coughing up some more blood, "Damnit! Why aren't I healing?"

"You will in a second, just hold on a sec." Muttered the mirror image of Tensa.

"He doesn't have a second…" a cruel voice whispered in the air.

"I thought you guys put him away!" Chie yelled at the spirits before her face morphed into that of shock and fear. She was staring a scene made from shadows.

"It this really the boy you know? The boy who killed his family and friends in an instant!" The voice screamed through the air, catching the attention of everyone as it showed them a familiar yet horrifying scene from Ichigos mind.

/ A group of humans stood along with Rukia in the middle of a rocky area. Their faces carried that of fear as they took tentative steps back from the eyes they were looking though. Rukia jumped in front of them ready to defend them at a moment's notice. The figure must have said something because in the next instant Rukia was in front, fear in her eyes as blood poured from her shoulder, evidently where she'd been bitten.

The scene continued and more and more people were killed. Rukia knew many of them from Ichigos school and her time living in Ichigos house. The slaughter finished with Orihime, her crying face at the front of the mirage as she coughed out a few last words. The whole area was filled with blood and gore. Bodies were littered everywhere-/

The vision faded when the woman formed a purple barrier around it and gradually made it smaller crushing the shadows until they were a box of black. Silence fell over everyone who'd seen it. They were all shocked at the massacre they'd just seen especially Rukia. She looked at Ichigo in horror and then at those surrounding him. Chie realised what Rukia was about to do and appeared in front of Ichigo convering his eyes and ears from the insults that were to come.

"How could you! Ichigo is that really you! Because if it is I don't know you!" Rukia screamed, "I fucking hate you! You bastard! I may still be here now but I'll make sure you don't hurt anyone! You bastard!"

"It wasn't his fault. You shouldn't believe what these shadows tell you," The hollow begin his hand on Ichigos shoulder in an attempt of comfort as the female hollow wrapped her arms round Ichigo in an also comforting hug. A few tears ran down Rukias face both from rage and sadness, she didn't know what to think now. The Ichigo she knew wouldn't become a monster like that, he couldn't. Could he?

"To him that scene happened little over 30 minutes ago, and now because of being reminded it has started to rain." The zanpakuto turned to Ichigo, "You know how we hate the rain Ichigo but for this I think we shall allow you to continue."

"How did that scene happen?" asked the captain of squad 8, Shunsui.

"Ichigo lost control of Vasto Lorde Shrio," The white haired boy said pointing to the hollow, "as you all know hollows like to devour their family so that's exactly what happened. Well due to influence from an Oni."

"And you are?" Shunsui asked.

"His resurrection, Luna Neuva. If you want to know about the other two, that's his zanpakuto Tensa Zangetsu," he indicated to his mirror image, "and that's Shiro as I said earlier." He again indicated to the hollow.

"What about the woman?"

"My name is Chie, now can I exit my resurrection or are you all going to attack me?" Chie said as she pulled the numb Ichigo up so he was standing. "Snap out of it Ichigo."

"What do you think Yama-ji?" Shunsui asked turning towards the commander who'd cracked open one eye at the events before him.

"Why are you here?" The old voice demanded more than questioned.

"That will take much explaining but before I do that I need to deal with something first." Ichigo said now back to his normal self after much shaking from Chie.

"What's that saving Rukia?" Byakuya glared at him, "I told you before boy-"

"I don't mean Rukia, well I do but that's not what I mean now." Ichigo said as he returned byakuyas glare, "I'm here to kill Aizen."

Everyone gave him weird looks. Then he realised, they thought Aizen was dead.

"He's not dead, I think you'll get a message soon confirming that." Ichigo added before anyone could tell him he was mistaken. Everyone stared at him a few had their swords drawn while others stood poised ready to strike. They waited for what felt like ages until a message from Isane echoed through the Seireitei confirming what Ichigo had just said.

Sure enough the man in question arrived a few seconds later. He appeared surprised that everyone was still on the hill and before he could take one glance at Rukia Ichigo and Chie both charged at him ready for the kill.
