'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 Zanpakto as his nails turned to sharp and black. He hissed and pulled the zanpakto free from is sheath, this sharp incisors popping out.
Now:
Kensei walked out of the hallway to see Toshiro playing chess with Love. He gave a small smile when he realized that the kid was just three moves away from beating his fellow Visord. Love sighed and leaned back, "Well shit you got me beaten. There is no way I am getting out of the hole you just put me in."
Toshiro gave an unconscious smile, "I played this a lot when I had the chance with Granny."
"She sounds like a woman worthy of respect." The blond said putting the game away.
Smile still there the Mythical Hollow replied with a nodded, "She is. She took on a lot for her to take me in."
"If you ever get a chance to see her again…" Teal eyes looked up shocked at the smiling Visord, "Give her my appreciation for taking you in. That takes a lot of courage to go against what everyone else says not to do."
"If I ever get the chance I will do that for you." Toshiro said looking around unsure of what to do next, "I think I am going to try and find a book I haven't read yet."
"No you're not." Wide surprised teal eyes looked at him shocked, "You and I are going out into town."
"What for?" Toshiro asked confused not aware that he sounded like the child he looked.
"Just because." Kensei said signaling the front door.
The youngest hollow sighed, "Let me get my shoes."
Love couldn't help but chuckle as the boy walked to his room. When he was out of hearing range Love asked, "So what is the real reason you are taking him out of the house?"
"Like I said just because. He stays inside too much. We go out every once in a while and fight Hollows because we can. He really can't till he and his hollow get in better control and he just recently got ran out by Soul Society. They will be after him and he doesn't need to be in that kind of danger. That said but I…we can't just let he coup himself inside either. The occasional outing will do him good. Just like it did us."
"You kind of sound like his dad."
"What?" Kensei asked in shock.
"The way you treat him. It reminds me of a father and son relationship." Love chuckled picking up the chess game not that it was put away properly in the box.
"And what about yours?"
"Loving uncle and Mashiro as the other family like relation to him…" The blond smiled, "…the annoying older sister."
The white haired Visord couldn't help but chuckle at that, "Yes I can see that one. But why me the father? I am not fatherly."
"Are you not?" Shinji asked walking in from the kitchen, "You treat him the way he needs to be treated. You never treat him like a child but like if he was your real child you talk to him and make him do things he would never do. And you are one of the few of us that can make him act his age even if it is till mature in a way."
Kensei blinked, "Is that why you all backed off after the first week?"
Love nodded, "Yep. You seemed to be what he needed and still needs. Each of us are helping him but you help him more than the rest of us."
"Kensei! What the hell is this on my pillow?!" Toshiro yelled out from his room.
The bleached haired Visord smiled, "I don't know you tell me."
"Don't pull that bullshit with me. Why did you give me a cell phone?" Toshiro said suddenly next to the smiling Visord and holding a silver phone with a blue dragon on the outside cover. "I didn't ask for it nor do I need it."
Love walked by with a knowing smile as the now 'fatherly' Visord now smirked as he replied, "You never know when you want alone time and out of the house at the same time."
A tick mark appeared on the boys forehead, "It isn't safe for me to venture out by myself. I don't need to be told that to know that much. They are still after me. Why did I even put my shoes on if it isn't safe right now?" The boy forced the cell phone into Kensei's hand and tried to walk back to his room only for Kensei to hold tightly onto his hand and jerk him to a stop. "Hey let me go!"
Kensei snorted and threw Toshiro over his shoulder, "No chance kid. Now you and I have a walk in town." He pocketed the boys cell phone in his pocket vowing that he would give it back to the kid later.
Toshiro growled and tried to get off the taller's shoulder, "Put me down." He winced his head hit the door frame. Holding the back of his sore head he said, "See this is why you should not have me over your shoulder."
"Or maybe you shouldn't be fidgeting just as I am walking out of the front door brat."
"Oui I am not a brat. Now put me down!" Toshiro shouted.
"Either you stop trying to get back inside and I walk around town with you on my shoulder like this." Toshiro's head shot up in shock, "Or you go along with me and walk in town like the mature 'child' you are."
Toshiro growled, "Fine I will go and I am not a child."
The Visord snorted, "You could have fooled me." He put the boy on his feet who crossed his arms over his chest and glared at the talker white haired male, "You still haven't proved to me you are not a child." Kensei could tell Toshiro was trying to reel in his next childish response, "Do you have something to say to me."
His answer was clipped and irate, "No. I don't." The boy turned and walked toward town.
Kensei chuckled and thought to himself, 'Well shit they are right. I've never had children and here I am naturally taking in an adult acting one. How did I do this to myself.' He looked at the boy trying not to look around like he was interested in the things they were walking past. After a half an hour Kensei smirked and guided them to a building while Toshiro looked away stubbornly.
The Mythical Hollow stubborn streak was destroyed when Kensei nudged him hard, "What was that for?"
"You might want to lower you voice. We are in a book store after all."
Toshiro finally looked around, "Why…are we in a…book store?"
Kensei rolled his eyes, "You've read all your books. I understand you like to reread you books but that can't be nearly as entertaining as reading a new adventure." The boy bit his lip trying to hold his excitement in, "We are going get as many that you think will last you for a month then come back when you have read all of that."
"I don't need anymore books."
Kensei chuckled at the strained answer, "No need to hide it. I know you want to look through them. Go." He pushed Toshiro forward, "Don't worry I won't make fun of you. Go get as many as you want. I will push the cart. I know you want new books. While we are at it we can even get you a new bookshelf while we are at it." At first Toshiro didn't move then moved to start looking. He almost looked hesitant making Kensei give what looked like a fond smile as he followed the young hollow with the cart.
