Chapter 4-You are what you eat.
It had been 2 more days since Ichigo got the hollow hole, and he'd already had to eat four more hollows. Not only that, but he was getting hungrier each day.
"Maybe you should eat some Menos Grande- I heard they fill ya better." The hollow stated, bored. Ichigo merely groaned in reply. They were sitting through an arithmetic class that they mutually loathed and trying to entertain each other.
Maybe we should think of something for me to call you… Ichigo thought in an attempt to entertain himself.
"Sure, why not? Got any good ideas?" The hollow said sarcastically. Ichigo thought for a second.
Hmmm, how about…Hichigo? It's a contraction of "hollow" and "Ichigo". His hollow chuckled.
"Really? That's the best you can come up with? Hichigo?"
You can come up with something better?
"Sure I can! Ummm… how about… your name spelled backwards? Cause I'm like… the opposite of you…while still being you…"
Fine with me! So you new name is Og-ogi… wait, how would you pronounce H-C-I? The hollow laughed once more.
"Fine! Just switch the letters and call me Ogichi!" It chuckled. Ichigo was finally getting used to his hollow, now that he was stuck with him and knew he would have to get used to him or have an even more horrible month than he was now.
So, Ogichi, what else are you gunna do to my body? The newly dubbed "Ogichi" thought for a moment.
"Well, I wanna see how hollow I can get ya before the month ends… I already finished some small stuff that ya haven't even noticed yet, like how you're doin' sonido instead of shunpo, and how you're fighting more with just yer hands than with yer sword… and a couple other things…"
Like what?
"I, umm, gave you… a cero." Ogichi mumbled awkwardly.
A WHAT? Ichigo stood up in rage and quickly realized that he was in the middle of a classroom. He ran out the door screaming to the teacher that he had to use the bathroom. Now he was free to yell at his hollow in peace.
You gave me a CERO?
"Yeah. It's not so bad! See look!" with that he pushed Ichigo out of control once more before putting his human body somewhere safe and running back to where the Arrancars attacked. He pointed his palm at a tree and began to instruct Ichigo.
"All you gotta do is focus energy into your palm-" Red energy began to form in a ball in front of Ichigo's hand . "And release it!" he added out loud as the cero blasted at the trees. "You try!" he shoved Ichigo back in control. Ichigo kept trying over and over again, with most attempts blowing up in his face (literally), until he finally succeeded in creating one that shot right. In his exhaustion, Ichigo immediately returned to his body and then to his bed where he passed out within seconds.
Ichigo woke the next morning with what seemed like a blurred vision.
"Breakfast time!" Ogichi chuckled when he realized Ichigo was awake. "Today we're goin' to a breakfast buffet!"
Breakfast buffet? Ichigo questioned as his hollow took over his body and sonidoed in no general direction. When Ichigo was finally awake, his hollow stopped where it was in midair and smiled hugely.
"Look what we can do now!" he said as he grabbed what looked like dust in the air and ripped it apart. Between the two parts, a portal opened to the hollow world- hueco mundo. "Breakfast buffet!" the hollow repeated as it dove in through the portal.
