After a wile Zangetsu simply dissipated into ichigo's soul once more. Ichigo himself was miles away. He couldn't think where to go but now he was away from Rukia he relised the gravity of the situation. You see not only had he eaten a hollow in front of another soul reaper, but his mask was still on his face. It was complete now and he couldn't get it off.

"Ah! How do I get this off!!! Grrrr!!" (He tries to pull it off again. Stops and starts rubbing it) "Geese… it feels like i'm trying to rip off my own face… wait a min… HEY HOLLOW WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

"Who me? Oh I did nothing kingy *giggle snort* absolutely nothing^^ it was you that ate the hollow after all. You did it all."

"What the heck is that supposto mean?! You had to have taken control or something because all I felt was bloodlust! Your supposto be the embodiment of my bloodlust and stuff like that aren't ya? Well what did you do?" Ichigo says as he rests by a tree outside of town as he tries to think this through calmly but only finding that annoyingly wonderful feeling of afterglow he associated previously only with getting his pants happy. Now he found out it came from devouring hollows as well. This day couldn't get any worse could it?

"Look you, I didn't do anything! That was all you! I mean sure its not like I didn't enjoy it or anything but I didn't do anything. You ate that espeda. Truthfully I think it was hot. You gnawing his neck like that…*shivers* oh man you got to do that to people more often*dark laugh*"

After looking for an argument Ichigo came up blank. He didn't know weather or not he liked the idea of him agreeing completely with his hollow or not but it was refreshing from the constant yelling he used to do at it. "Ya know come to think of it why are ya talking to me all of a sudden hollow? You've been really quiet for a long time."

"Oh king I didn't know ya cared about me that much!" *evil smirk from the white copy.

"… Shut your face. Now help me think of a way out of this?" Ichigo had thought of many things including going to Uraharas for shelter but in the end he always came up blank.
