I was half asleep when I finished this so I hope it made sense :L

Thanks for all the reviewing you've all been doing, it's greatly appreciated :) Enjoy.

I own none of the right to bleach, that goes to Tite Kubo

Blind Mans Clothes

"Who are you?" A small voice called from the doorway where Gin had been standing only moments ago.

"Uhhh.." Ichigo said unable to think of an answer.

"Hey, I'm Chie and this is Ichigo." Chie called quietly to the small pale blonde haired girl who stood in the doorway. "Do you know where the clothes are kept?"

"Not really, I'll ask." The girl cocked her head backwards into the hallway. "Stark! Get your lazy ass up! A lady here needs some clothes!"

"Uh thanks…"

"Great the kid probably just brought one of the espada here," Ichigo sighed earning a strange look from the girl in the doorway.

"Aren't you an arrancar?" Then she saw the outfit her wore and then the broken mask that was perched on his head. Her expression turned into a mix of confusion and alarm, "You're a Shinigami?"

"Not exactly…" Ichigo was about to attempt an explanation but a brown haired man with a broken white jaw hanging round his neck appeared.

"What is it Lilynette?" The man sighed. He yawned and was clearly tired as he stared at the small girl.

".!" Lilynette yelled as she gave the man a few punches before adding, "Where are the clothes? She wants some." Lilynette indicated to an exhausted Chie was currently leaning on Ichigos shoulder.

"Shinigami…" Starrk trailed off as he examined Chie, "…and an Arrancar?"

"They're both Arrancar." Lilynette said as she noticed the blood everywhere, how could she have missed it?

"Why are you both covered in blood?" Asked Starrk who then remembered why they'd been waiting out in the hall and added, "Have you seen Aizen-sama?"

Both of them shifted uncomfortably at that question. Starrk had already known the answer even before he answered it. He just wanted to hear what they had to say.

"We're not here for any trouble, she just needs some clothes and I'm looking for a blind guy. Have you seen him?" Ichigo said avoiding anything but the admittance that he'd killed their ruler.

"If you're not here for trouble then why is there blood everywhere?"

"That wasn't me." Ichigos reply got a strange look from the two Arrancar.

"It wasn't 'him' it was Shiro." Chie slurred in her drowsy state.

"Humm, well Harribel's on her way so she can take care of your friend." Starrk turned to Lilynette, "go call Harribel." The girl scowled and ran out of the room, "As for the blind man you're talking about, that's Tousen. He just went to the meeting room, I can take you there if you want."

"I guess that would be best. Is it okay if I come and get you later?" Ichigo asked Chie who gave him a small nod as a dark skinned woman with blonde hair walked into the room with Lilynette.

"What is it Starrk?" the green eyed blonde asked.

"I know we've got a meeting soon, but can you take this woman back to your quarters and give her something to wear?"

"It shouldn't take too long, I'll leave her in the care of my fraccion. What about the boy?"

"He wants to see Tousen-sama."

"Fine, give the girl here." Harribel walked over to Ichigo who transferred Chie from his shoulder to Harribels. "What's your name?"

"Chie…" It was a low whisper and Chie was soon sound asleep. She almost collapsed to the floor but Harribel threw her over her shoulder and silently left the room with Chie.

"Shall we go then…?" Starrk asked implying for Ichigo to give his name.

"Ichigo Kurosaki. And yeah we best go now." Ichigo said exiting his bankai and putting Zangetsu on his back. Starrk raised an eyebrow at the two zanpakutos Ichigo had but held his questions for laters as he ushered Lilynette into the corridor, Ichigo following close behind.

They walked through many long white corridors and Ichigo soon gave up trying to remember the way out deciding that he'd smash his way out.

They got to a set of double doors and the guy called Starrk told the small girl to go back to their room. The girl protested but eventually gave in, not before she managed to get a few punches in on Starrk. As she walked away Starrk knocked lightly on the door and then proceeded to push both of them open.

"Tousen-sama, there is someone who wants to see you." Starrk called to the blind man who was currently stood apparently observing the empty table.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, are you here to ask me to surrender?" Tousen asked not bothering to turn around.

"I'm here to stop you." Ichigo stated, inwardly hoping that Tousen would see sense and not fight him.

"You shall be disappointed then. I will not stray from the path of justice, this is the only way there will be less bloodshed." He said turning around to face Ichigo as he slowly drew his zanpakuto.

-Can I fight him king? It's boring in here and you need a break anyway.-

'You promise to give control back?'

-Don't worry king I did last time didn't I?-

'Shiro.'

-Fine, yer I'll give back control when the battles finished. Okay?-

'Yeah, here you go.'

Starrk and Tousen noticed the change in Ichigo as soon as the driver of the body switched. They didn't say anything only waited for the boys next move.

"Now I can use this resurrection properly!" The twisted voice of Ichigo reverberated through the room as he turned his yellow on black eyes to Starrk. "I suggest you stand back, king said not to attack anyone else."

"King?" Starrk asked as he moved to the doorway not wanting to be in a fight either.

"You were talking to him a second ago. I'm Shiro." The hollow introduced himself quickly. He turned to Tousen and initiated his resurrection. "Glare! Luna Neuva!"

The battle crazy hollow launched himself at Tousen with an incredibly fast sonido bringing the giant Zangetsu off his back.

In Ichigos inner world

'Sounds like he's having fun.'

-It's going to be a short battle, only a few minutes. Tousen isn't going to have the chance to retaliate.- Neuva grinned as he sat with Ichigo and Zangetsu watching the battle on one of the sideways skyscrapers windows.

*Ichigo, you best go check on him.*

'Who?'

-You know what he means.- Neuva said pointing to a covered and chained cage behind them.

'Why? He doesn't seem to be doing anything.'

*I wasn't aware you had x-ray vision Ichigo.* Zangetsu said giving a small smile.

'Fine, I'll go check on it!' Ichigo scowled as he got up and walked over to the cage.

'Nice of you to check up on me Ichigo.' A cold voice snarled as it echoed from under the cage covering.

'It's not like I wanted to.' Ichigo bit back. He'd rather be looking through an album of Rukias terrible drawings than listen to this thing.

'Your words wound me,' it said with mock offence, 'So you've checked up on me why're you still here?'

-Oooo, nice one Shiro!-Neuva cheered as they saw Shrio hit Tousen with three crescent blades. -You're getting better at controlling those.-

'How nice, now what do you want?'

'Why are you here?'

'Is that a general question like, 'why do we exist?' or are you asking why I decided to live in your soul?'

'What do you think?' Ichigo sneered.

'The latter I take it? Well I don't want to tell you. But I'll give a warning.' The icy voice paused and Ichigo could just imagine it smirking, 'Keep your soul strong, I'll be looking for a weakness.'

'Don't you dare touch them!' Ichigo roared as he was about to pull the black cover from the cage but Zangetsu stopped him.

*Do not give in to him Ichigo, it's what he wants.* The old man said withdrawing Ichigos hand from the cover.

'I'm sorry Zangetsu, there's just something about him that makes me lose it.' Admitted Ichigo as he and Zangetsu began walking back to the scene.

-You two are a bit late, the battles finished.-

*What happened?*

-Shiro didn't give Tousen the chance to use many of his abilities only a few but their effect was negligible on my resurrection.- Neuva paused –He used a few ceros to weaken the guy and keep him busy before appearing in front of him and repeatedly hacking at him using you, Zangetsu. The final blow was probably the one to the left lung. I suppose you could say he suffocated on his own blood.-

'Did my body get hit?'

-A few times but their only small scratches and should be healed soon. Here comes Shiro.- As soon as he'd finished the while clad pale Arrancar appeared with a huge grin on his face. He was clearly delighted with his performance in his battle.

-Time for ya to go back kingy! I think some espada are appearing for their meeting, and that Starrk guy wants a talk with ya.- Shiro said as Ichigo faded back into control of his body.

"Kurosaki?" a voice asked from behind him.

Ichigo opened his eyes and saw the remains of what used to be a meeting room. The table and chairs had been completely incinerated along with most of the room. The doorway where Starrk stood had lost its perfect rectangle shape and was now more like a sideways oval with jagged crumbling edges. The only remains of Tousens body was the crimson blood that ran up and down the walls and pooled on the floor.

"Yeah?" Ichigo finally answered the lazy brown haired man.

"I have a question. What are you?" Starrk asked a question that not even Ichigo knew the answer to. Even he was still confused as to what he was. Before he'd believed himself to be a vizard but now he hadn't a clue, the other vizards didn't have resurrections and their inner hollows weren't Arrancars.

"I don't have an answer to that question, but I do know that I'm human." Ichigo said as he exited his resurrection again and felt his pale skin turn back to its normal pinkie colour.

"A piece of human trash? One that defeated Aizen-sama and Tousen-sama, that is-" A cold voice called from behind Starrk, but was cut off by Ichigo.

"Ulquiorra, what do you want?" Ichigo did yell or raise his voice at the espada he'd died taking down, he kept his voice calm and controlled when talking as he remembered what he'd done when defeating the curato espada. Ichigo looked over to where said espada stood and saw what he guessed was the rest of the 10. A few he recognised but many of them he'd never seen, the others had been the ones to battle them.

"You know who I am? I never thought a piece of trash such as yourself knew about us." Ulquiorra would have said more had Grimmjow not intervened.

"Oi! Kid you wouldn't happen to know where the fuck Aizen is would ya?" Sneered the crazy blue haired espada.

"He's dead. Now can I go get Chie?" he asked Harribel, who gave him a silent nod knowing there was no reason to battle him. Ichigo began to leave the room and as he did so he looked for the direction of Chies spiritual pressure. She wasn't too far away and he'd probably get to her in less than five minutes if there weren't any disruptions.

"Tch! Let's see how strong you really are!" Grimmjow yelled down the corridor, a manical grin spread onto his face and a few espada rolled their eyes at his foolish arrogance.

"I've already beaten you before Grimmjow, and I wasn't part Arrancar then. I don't see the point in fighting you again because you saved my life that time." Ichigo replied as he continued down the hallway expecting Ulquiorra or someone else to come chasing after him. No one did and Ichigo continued happily down the white corridors and closer to Chie.

I'm sorry if you guys wanted a more in-depth look at Shiros fight but I really wasn't in the right mind set to write a battle and I wanted to get this out before tomorrow. But don't worry there will be more Shiro fights I can assure you :)

Thanks for reading, if there's any way I can improve this to make it more exciting or something let me know.

Remember to review (:

Next time: Reunion
