"You sound like an old man when you talk like that."

Ichigo smiled, "I care about Toshiro a lot. I will do just about anything to show that I do." Kensei put the boy in his bed and covered him up, "Kensei stay with him. He needs you the most right now. He hides a lot about himself when he feels like it will just get in the way. You got to see a side of him I never got to see." The older Visord looked at him surprised, "I get the childish side of him when he always corrects me but you got something even more precious, his hurt and pain. He doesn't share that often just as he doesn't always have the chance to give it."

Kensei sighed and sat next to the Mythical Hollow, "Fine I will stay here if you are that emotional about it."

"I will go to Urahara's now. So he can get everything set up for when ever you plan on spring this on him."

Ichigo left the room without another word leaving Kensei to his thoughts as he watched the boy sleep peacefully, 'How did I get you trust so quickly?' Hearing a slight groan from the child the Visord instinctively put a comforting hand on Toshiro's stomach causing him to calm down instantly. 'I didn't show that much care did I?'

Now:

Toshiro woke up with a groan and about jumped out of his skin when he felt Kensei's spiritual pressure right next to him. Looking at him wide eyes he said in awe and without thinking, "You stayed."

"I did."

The two stayed there in awkward silence till Toshiro spoke again, "I'm not used to people staying." Then he slid off the bed and walked over to his closet to pick his outfit for the day.

Kensei looked at the clock, "It is only six in the morning. Why are you getting dressed?"

Teal eyes looked down, "Old habits die hard and believe it or not I used to get up much earlier than this to get the paperwork done." He looked back up to pull out a workout shirt, "Besides the morning is the best time to get some light exercise. All of you tend to sleep in so I am able to get some quiet time in the training room."

As the boy continued to pull out his workout pants Kensei sighed, "Get back to bed. You and I could work out together later."

"No I mean I like to workout on my own. It's the alone time I don't really get when you are all awake."

Toshiro started to pull off his shirt but froze. Then put the shirt back down and picked up his work out clothes and going into the closet. Kensei raised an eyebrow, "What the hell kid? You and I are both males."

"No reason." The boy replied from the closet.

"Are you doing this because of the scar on your left shoulder."

Toshiro was silent for a short while, "How do you know about that scar?"

"I was there when we had to bandage you up in the living room. All of us know about that scar." Kensei got off the bed and walked over to the open closet, "Kid are you okay?"

Toshiro dropped his hand from his left shoulder, "Yes I am fine. Just remembering how I got it. Nothing to worry about." Then went to work quickly getting dressed.

"What happened?"

Toshiro went to not answer but answered anyway due to the look Kensei was giving him, "It was the first time Momo had been tricked into thinking I had killed her Captain, when Aizen was still with us. She was going to hug him when she realized that he was still alive and he stabbed her. I got so mad I went Bankai but I got sliced on the shoulder before I could do anything. I was lucky Unohana was there to keep me alive."

"You mean the day that Aizen betrayed you all."

Toshiro nodded walking out of the closet, "Then when she got better Hinamori started…doing the thing where she turned against me slowly. If I had spotted it sooner I would have fixed it before I got to this situation but now I can't do anything but wait for her to realize how stupid she has been. Even if she does apologize I don't think I could ever forgive her. I need to go workout with Hyorinmaru."

Kensei watched the boy walk out of the room with Hyorinmaru on his back, 'Wow what a reminder.'

'I told you he has it hard.' His zanpakuto spirit said.

'Tachikaze that is not his only hurt it is?' The Visord asked.

'No, he has had a lot of heartache over his years as captain and as a child in the Rukangi District where he grew up. All of which made him who he is today. Not that I would recommend anyone going through what he did just to get the achievements he has. He was after all the youngest captain anyone has ever seen.'

'That is what makes you Soul Reaper types dicks.' Kensei rolled his eyes at his inner hollow, 'I mean you are more than okay with putting down you fellow Reapers when it would be better to just put them out of their misery. Sometimes it isn't best to thrive in that kind of environment.'

'At least he was given a chance to prove people wrong.' Kensei defended.

'At what cost?' The Visord froze trying to think that through, 'He had to loose any childishness left in him to get to where he is today. At least we have hollows who are powerful and childish at the same time. Why do you think Mythical Hollows only choose child looking Soul Reapers to be their host?'

'What?!' Kensei asked shocked.

'The last recorded Mythical hollow was a Griffin. His host was a child. The said child was killed the first year he was in the academy. No less by the very teachers he was supposed to learn from while his peers watched.' His inner hollow growled, 'The one before that didn't even get recorded because she was found even before she was ready to be a Soul Reaper. She was supposed to be a Cerberus one too.'

'So you are telling me that a Mythical Hollow stays hidden till they find the perfect host?' Kensei asked in shock.

'Yes, and they recycle with their host so they never go away.' His hollow said, 'For all we know he had his before he had died. We never know when the Mythical finds their host just as their hideaway has never been found. So long as other creature is seen a Mythical by living people it can become a mythical hollow.'

'So they can be created by a single thought?' Tachikaze asked curiously since Kensei had gone silent in shock.

'Yes.'

Toshiro closed his eyes once he got to the gym, 'Are you two ready to train?' Both Hyorinmaru and Kiyoshi nodded. Toshiro opened his eyes as they slowly started to bleed red instead of his pretty teal eye color. Grabbing his Zanpakuto as his nails turned to sharp and black. He hissed and pulled the Zanpakuto free from is sheath, this sharp incisors popping out.
