It irritated the hollow that Ichigo only saw everything that was in front of his eyes and not from the back of them (meaning that he didn't realize, here in Sweden 'se' means 'look', and 'inse' means literally 'realize', but I mean this metaphorically: looking inwards).
- You're so stupid, Ichigo!
I sock him to the other side of the field:
- It never ceases to amaze me how stupid you are! Zangetsu never existed in the first place! There's only me, and I'm going to corrupt you.
The hollow hisses the last words and flash in front of Ichigo, strangles him and whispers in his ear:
- Give in to me, Ichigo-... You've already lost...
The hollow puts his lips against Ichigo's, and with Ichigo's chocked expression the hollow simply smiles. Ichigo's faces that express his fear from the hollow's doing just made the dominant being want to humiliate Ichigo even more. The hollow bites Ichigo's tongue so hard it starts bleeding. Ichigo squeezes his eyes together, pushes the hollow away and slurs:
- ... Vhat av yo doi-? (What are you doi-)
Before Ichigo can finish his sentence, the hollow grabs Ichigo's junk hard, Ichigo howls in domestic pains, the hollow LOVED every second of it!
- What? Did you say something, king? Is there something bothering you?!
I punch him, and again, right now, his nose-bone cracked and he has a bad nosebleed:
- ... Wh-... why are you-?
- Well, let me tell you-!
The hollow held up and slammed Ichigo against the ground a couple of times:
- All you ever do is using my strength for your own selfish reasons!
When the words finally burst out, the hollow started strangling Ichigo even harder:
- USING MY POWERS TO SAVE YOUR SO CALLED "FRIENDS"! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?! NONE OF 'EM WILL EVER THINK THE THOUGHT OF SACRIFICING THEMSELVES FOR YOU! IT'S ONESIDED! YOU'LL DIE IF YOU CONTINUE WITH THIS CRAP!
The hollow takes a pause for a couple of seconds and inhales deeply:
- If you die I'm going to have some trouble, so don't go around promising everybody you will protect them with your life because if you do, that's the same thing as saying: "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy- but here's my number, I'll DIE for you baby!" No, as a human-being you have this basic instinct to survive. If you find food, you eat it to not die from starvation, you on the other hand, you're an idiot! You go miles to find someone who is hungrier than you! You don't take the opportunity when you're given it, you take your time to find someone who also needs it. THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!
The hollow pauses again, will any of his words reach Ichigo?
- Are you TRYING to kill yourself?
The hollow loosens the stranglehold a bit so that Ichigo can answer:
- We have been together for the longest time, I'm the one out of us two who wants to live the most it seems since you're so willing to sell your life away to save someone else you've just met.
Ichigo swallows and chooses his words carefully:
- ... I-... didn't know you-
- "Existed"?
- No... I didn't know you had sentience
The hollow withdraws his hands and looks a bit disappointed:
- ... Of course you don't. You didn't know I had survival instincts? Since I haven't got a heart, is that it? Because I acted all heartless you didn't think that I feared death? Listen, you die, I die, if I keep you alive, I won't die, Good enough explanation for you?
Ichigo shudders and gathers his words:
- I'm going to be honest here, I thought that because you were a hollow, you didn't know emotions, such like sadness and anger... And I thought you relied on your madness and pride in order to feel alive... You are basically a monster in my eyes, I didn't know you thought about death.
The hollow growls and smashes Ichigo's head against the ground while gritting his teeth;
- Yeah! That's the only things you know about your horse, king! You thought your horse was a brutal animal, is that it?! You just told me that I have no emotions because I'm "incomplete", is that it?!
Horror and fear spreads across Ichigo's face;
- ... You should know that I have a sentience just like you... Call it schizophrenia, possession, multi-personality syndrome or whatever... I'm an individual too...
The hollow snorts and let's go of Ichigo. Ichigo can't find his balance so he just falls backwards and slams into the ground. After a few seconds of silence The hollow sighs and Ichigo clears his throat:
- ...By the way...What's your name?
