Two Hearts, One Soul: Masks of Good and Evil

"Emergency meeting! All captains report at once!" Rang through out the Seireitei.

Kisuke woke up to the sound of the alarm that was going off as the next part of the message rang.

"This is an emergency dealing with Squad nine! We cannot get a soul signal from any of the members including Captain Muguruma and Lieutenant Kuna!"

Kisuke rushed out of his office into the lab, "Where's Hiyori?!"

The 9th seat member looked up from her test tubes, "She left a while ago. Captain."

Kisuke rushed toward the door, "Where's Kimiko for that matter?"

"I believe she is cleaning up so that she can go meet Lieutant Sarugaki, but she could have left already." She answered as Kisuke rushed out the door.

"I repeat! All Captains report for an emergency meeting at once!"

'I should have gone.' Kisuke thought as he ran towards the Captain's Hall. 'I never thought this would happen."

East Rukon 33rd District

"Tosen get out of there the prototype is taking root in them." Gin yelled as Tosen placed Suzumushi into its sheath.

"Kaname!!" Neji yelled after him only to stop at the sound of Kensei coughing.

Neji turned around to see Kensei trying to get up. "Damn, what the hell is happening?!" Kensei asked in between coughs. "Neji get the hell out of here and back to the Seireitei and report Tosen and Gin to Head Captain Yamamoto!"

Neji watched as a white liquid flowed out of Kensei's mouth as Kensei ordered Neji to get out of the area. Somehow Neji knew he couldn't leave.

"Move!' Neji screamed at his body, but it just buckled.

'Heh forget it why don't we attack him that will help out my brother?' A voice from deep within Neji laughed.

This voice was so cold it was just like a Hollow's. That's when it dawned on Neji they were experimenting with Hollowfication of souls!

'But what are they after with Hollowfied souls?' Neji asked himself trying to figure it out.

Hollowed Kensei roared at Neji causing Neji to look Hollow Kensei in the eyes. Yet all Neji saw was Kensei's hollow mask, which was squareish with six slits, two for his eyes, one right above and one right below the eye slits. Hollow Kensei picked up Tachikaze and ran towards Neji. Neji jumped out of the way as Tachikaze hit the ground.

'Wow he's a fast one. Come on already and attack Kensei, partner.' The voice inside Neji laughed again.

'Why should I listen to you?! And I am not your partner!' Neji yelled back.

'Because I am the only one who can save us, partner. So let me out and attack Kensei!' it yelled at Neji.

At this point Neji had no choice but to attack Kensei, "Pierce to the end of sixty four sorrows!"

Hollow Kensei seemed to laugh along with the voice inside of Neji, 'Come on partner that lame old trick? Come on and embrace me and let me out!'

At this point Neji realized that he too was infected with the Hollowfication prototype as well. Kensei slashed at Neji only to have his blade stopped by three. Neji realized that Kensei's blade was stopped by Yori's Mittsu Kiso Choowa.

"Yori what the hell are you doing here?!" Neji yelled at him.

Yori cursed under his breath as he spat out Mizu, which was just broken by Kensei's fist. "Saving your butt what's it look like?! I followed Gin and Hinata here and got caught up fighting Hinata in order to give you some help with your Byakugan!"

Neji smirked, "I had a feeling that was your doing. But I must warn you that what happened to Kensei could happen to me at any minute and possibly Lieutenant Kuna."

"I know. The same goes for me too, Neji." Yori bluntly said. "Hinata got me with whatever that prototype is."

Seireitai-Squad One Headquarters

"This is an emergency!" Head Captain Yamamoto informed the other Squad Captains, "According to reports from the team on stand by from Squad nine, Captain Muguruma and Lieutenant Kuna have disappeared along with seven others from their encampment in East Rukongai. The reason is unknown! Until we have a better hypothesis, we must assume the worst has happen! For this reason I have chosen four Captains to go investigate this further."

The door to the room suddenly slammed open revealing a panting Kisuke Urahara.

"You're late Urahara!" Head Captain pointed out.

"Please allow me to go!" Urahara asked.

Four heads peaked into the room via the window right behind Squad 8 Captain, Shunsui Kyoraku. "What's going on with your Captain?" Lisa whispered to Kimiko.

"He must be worried about Hiyori. She just went back there." Kimiko explained. 'And I should be out there too. Please be alright Neji.' Kimiko added in her head.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" The male with black hair commented.

Shunsui tried his best not to smirk at them as the Head Captain gave Urahara his answer.

"No!" Head Captain Yamamoto bluntly told him.

"My Lieutenant is heading back there!" Urahara explained.

"Geez, Kisuke! Get a hold of yourself!" Yoruichi yelled at him. "Didn't you send her back out there? Then she will be fine! Hiyori is strong, losing your faith in her like this is insulting to her abilities as a Soul Reaper Lieutenant!"

Meanwhile, Neji and Yori continued to fight Kensei. Kensei threw Neji into the tent waking up the already Hollowfied Mashiro.

Yori pointed Kanji toward Kensei, "Katon Karyuu Endan!"

Kensei roared out in pain as the fire attack hit him causing him to back away from Neji.

"Well that had to wake up Mashiro now." Yori muttered as Neji picked him up off of the ground.

"That's not a good thing. Mashiro is as far gone as Kensei." Neji told him as he wiped at the blood flowing into his right eye.

"It figures!" Yori spat as he spit out some blood from his mouth. "Shit where the hell did Kensei get to now?"

Neji tried to look for Kensei with his Byakugan, but he couldn't see out of his left eye. His left eye was now black.

'Aw come on partner! You let me out this much!' His inner hollow laughed as he begged to take control.

"Great he's probably too far away for you to see him, right Neji?" Yori asked. "Neji?"

"Yori watch out!" Neji warned him between coughs as Hollowfied Mashiro plunged her fist into Yori's back.

Mashiro pulled her fist out of Yori and looked at it then turned towards Neji. Her hollow mask looked like a heart shaped wasp head.

'Now she's one hot, tall hollow babe!' Neji's inner hollow whistled at Mashiro.

"Neji-kun? What's happening?" Mashiro asked.

'Can Mashiro have a control on her hollow?' Neji questioned as a roar came from below Mashiro's feet.
