Chapter seven, I know you but you don't know yourself,

Kurosaki Ichigo, Vizard warehouse,

It was the day after my quincy and kido training and I was going to the vizards, but not to train. He was at the warehouse and prepared himself for a long and painful speech that would probably earn him a sandal and a lot of yelling.

Ichigo stood in front of the barrier and waited for it to open, when it did he entered.

"Hey Ichigo." There was none of the usual cheer in Shinji's voice. It reminded him of what happened after he had fully hollowfied once. He had killed Hiyori. I will have to tell them one day that I somehow managed to time travel, Shinji would hate him.

"Aibou there's nothin' you 'an do ta change th' past."

"I know it's just that I know it will happen and he will hate me for it. You saw what happened last time, still kind yet looking at me with those god damn accusing eyes!"

"Ichigo what th' ol' man say abou' fear."

"Look forward. Go forward. Never stand still. Retreat and you will age. Hesitate and you will die. I can't forget what he had said and I know you are right."

"Then you know what to do then Ichigo."

"Yeah."

"Ichigo?"

"Yes sorry I just had a conversation with Zangetsu."

"I see. Kisuke said you knew of a better way to deal with our hollows but had warned us that we probably won't like it."

He only nodded. Even if he knew what he had to do it was still hard. Coming to an understanding with their inner hollows was something they had worked together to learn. It felt wrong to be the one telling them how to do it. Even though they were all alive they were not the same people he had known, this was something he had realised a few years ago but still hadn't come to terms with it.

"Come on there waiting for ya."

I followed silently. When you spend a lot of time in Hueco Mundo even your footsteps become silent. He was just as dead as that world, he sort of missed being there, perhaps it was because he was a hollow if only in part.

There were no sandals flying at his head. Lisa was not reading and there was no music. Even Mashiro had calmed down and was sat quietly.

"Shiro?"

He materialised.

"The hell you doing!" Hiyori went after Shiro. "Bringing a god damn hollow in front of us is this meant to be some sort of help because this is just rude!"

"Hiyori." No he did not want that to happen again,"Hiyori," he had lost control and she was angry, he was still aware of what his body was doing though even if he couldn't control it,"Hiyori," she attacked him but was quickly sliced down with his sword, Shinji was yelling and so was Lisa and Love, they were there to. There was a lot of blood and her eyes were empty. Obviously you killed her.

"HIYORI!" Everyone stopped, looked at the hollow. He hadn't spoken. Ichigo had. They looked at Ichigo, he looked like a hollow.

In Front of the vizards stood a nine year old boy who looked too pale his hair was longer than before, he had tried to avoid cutting it when he was eight he liked his long hair. Clawed hands and feet, two horns and two long striped going down his face and on his chest, they were the color of dried blood. Surrounding the hole where his heart should be. Red fur around his hand and on black eyes slim black sword with a chain at the end. But there was no mask. He wore a long black and red coat and both tabi and waraji was gone.

Shiro changed to match the appearance.

The room was silent.

"Ichi." Mashiro was first to break the silence.

"It's still me."

"It's still berry-tan?"

"Yea."

"How did you manage that? We have had these powers for over a century and yet we still have so many problems!" This was not why he thought Shinji would be angry. It still made sense though.

"Because Shiro is a part of me. I wouldn't give him up if someone said they could remove him."

"But that's a hollow! Why would you NOT GET RID OF THE THING!" He then received the sandal. He didn't dodge.

"Ichigo are you alright there?" Love had always kept an eye on Ichigo's health and behaviour. It was known hat Hiyori never managed to land a hit on Ichigo and when she did it was often when they were missing a piece of information and that the boy was waiting for them to find it.

Their concern only grew when the hybrid didn't answer but looked at the floor. The one good thing about being hollowfied was that you couldn't feel embarrassment or fear because you couldn't feel nothing at all.

Having no emotions became a good thing when you were in a war.

"I can't tell you if im alright because I can't feel nothing. Sorry."

Hirako Shinji, continuation,

Shinji did not know what to think about the situation. There in front of him stood a boy with the appearance of a monster. A hollow. If the comment they just received was anything to go by then hollow was a feeling as well.

Ichigo was currently incapable of feeling.

"Whats so great about being able to look like a hollow and feel like one to?"

"Hierro, cero, gran rey cero, cero oscuras if you gain enough reiatsu, bala, sonido, pesquisa, instant regeneration, the ability to open a gargantua and what i'm currently in resurreccion."

It was a long list of things and they were only capable of two of them. Cero and sonido.

"Berry-tan if you can open a gargantua have you been to hueco mundo before?"

Now that was an interesting question.

"Yes, im sure you have noticed that irritating feeling of wanting to be somewhere else." This gained a nod from everyone in the room."Well thats your hollow side wanting to go there. If you do make the rare trip there just for half an hour then that goes away which is good."

"Don't forge' th' fact tha' Hueco Mundo is a great place t' go!"

"For you Shiro because I always drop us in the menos forest where there are plenty of menos."

"Exactly my fuckin' point!"

"YOU LET YOUR HOLLOW EAT OTHER HOLLOWS!"

"Guys chill he is a hollow. Its normal."

"I know this doesn' matter ta ya but I like bein' a vasto-lorde an' I wanna stay this way."

"YOUR HOLLOW IS A VASTO-LORDE?!"

"I thin' they lost i' king."

"Hush Shiro."

"Why not jus' drag 'em there?"

"Ichigo what are you planning to do?" Hachi was always calm and was currently standing next to Ichigo while the other vizards had a yelling match.

"Deal with this in a better way. Don't worry Hachi."

He only got a split second to take in what they had said when a gargantua opened underneath them.

"ICHIGO! GET HERE SO I CAN HIT YOU WITH MY SANDALS! BOTH OF THEM!"

They were falling through the space in the gargantua when a hole opened up beneath them again. When he fell out he hit sand. Hard. He had to dig himself out.

"Shinji! Finally someone came along to talk some sense into you!"

"Sakanade?"

"Yes you idiot just because I have been hollowfied doesn't mean i'm not your zanpakuto."

At this moment in time he could have cried. Which he did because it had been over one hundred years since he had been able to hear her so clearly.

"Oi baldy are you ok there or did you lose your few remaining brain cells?"

"Your lucky to still have a connection with me like this. They still can't hear their zanpakuto. And you should thank the hybrid boy for this. Coming here has cleared my mind up quite a bit and since you have just stopped locking me away my instincts have finally calmed down."

He was still to happy to properly take in the information but he got the gist of it."I can hear Sakanade."

At this there was a collective gasp from the rest of the group.

"What did I say."

"Ah, thank you Ichigo."

"I wanna go to the menos forest which is directly beneath you. I have been starved and its draining our reiryoku."

"Right, I will get onto that."

"Wait try out our hollow release resurreccion!"

"Ichigo said something about that. What do I do?"

"I'm not telling you use your instincts."

Right instincts. Hollow things. Makes sense. He pulled out his sword and everyone looked towards him. Ichigo and Shiro just smiled.

"Hanten shite korosu, Sakanade!"

Didn't this feel great. It was like using his mask with controllable blood lust and no time limit. This felt wonderful.

My sword changed into it's shikai form and I gained the hollowfied had long black claws that doubled the length of his fingers, the only remnant of his mask was the three white bands of bone that went over his nose and there was two large pieces of shaped bone coming from the back of his head directly upwards. I guess that it's for ceros, awesome. He was slightly taller and he was wearing the black hakama of a shihakusho. His hair had returned to it's former length and he had small yellow cat ears and a long thin tail (god dammit sakanade!). The last change was the three thin bands of purple on his upper arms and lower legs.

I had also gained a hollow hole which mashiro currently had her arm through it. It felt weird, I wanted her to stop. "Oi Mashiro stop that." I knew she wouldn't so I carefully removed her arm from his chest. Those claws were very sharp he would have to be careful.

"Oh I forgot to mention that. If someone sticks their arm in your hollow hole it will feel weird. Increased instincts, you won't like anything near your neck either."

"And you didn't say anything about that because?"

"I didn't think that any of you would regain their connection to the zanpakuto so easily."

Perhaps it was because he had still tried to keep some sort of connection with sakanade. Even though she had been hollowfied he hadn't wanted to completely abandon her and lock her away.

"MENOS FOREST SHINJI." She was yelling and he was able to hear her voice far clearer than usual. He almost fell over.

"Baldy you ok there or have you got yourself caught inverted world."

"Shinj if she is bothering you that much just go directly down. It would be a good chance to get used to the full hollowfication as well."

Well the boy made a good point. He looked at the floor and charged a cero. It was a golden colour, WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO MATCH MY HAIR! Then I shot the cero and everyone else quickly ran as it was far more powerful than before. He had made a large circular hole in the ground right to the space underneath.

Time to go shut Sakanade up and find some menos and other high level hollows.

Hiyori, Hueco mundo, really far from Las Noches,

She didn't know how she felt about everything that had just occurred. First the little boy she knew takes on the appearance of a monster and tells them that he has basically befriended his hollow. Then Ichigo decided to throw them into Hueco Mundo. Shinji then did his own turning into a hollow and shot some powerful ass cero and was of to go find some menos for sakanade to eat.

She felt a little sick.

"Well he certainly left fast."

I was not happy, Shinji had changed to like his hollow in such a short amount of time after everything they had caused and it was Ichigo's fault. Hiyori wanted to leave.

"I want to go back."

"Ok anyone who wants to go back can because i'm going to go join Shinji."

"We are going to go back. It would probably be best if thought about this and perhaps try to talk to our zanpakuto." Lisa had always had a level head in most situations. When there were times they didn't know what to do they asked her for her logical advice.

She went into the gargantua Ichigo had opened and the rest of the vizard followed. Ichigo said that he would come back with Shinji later.

Kurosaki Ichigo, Menos forest,

I was aware that things had changed between him and the rest of the vizard and he was afraid of what would happen when he faced them again. Ichigo was not as afraid of Shinji's reaction as he had seemed rather pleased with the restored connection to Sakanade but he wasn't going to believe that the others would react so well. Not for one second. Not again after what had happened.

You didn't mean to kill her. It was not your hollows fault. Instincts cant tell the difference between friends and enemies. There was nothing that could have been done.

He was going to go kill hollows. Lots of them. When he caught up to Shinji the man seemed to be having fun. He was tearing masks of smaller hollows and cutting up the larger ones. He was covered head to toe in blood and he had a Shiro looking grin on his face.

Shinji was also using a similar ability to him to consume hollows with lots of white substance swallowing the dead and almost dead hollows. Ichigo decided to do the same as it had been a while since he had been here and Shiro had been getting irritated.

Urahara, The Urahara shoten,

He had received a phone call from Hiyori telling him what had just happened and that Shinji and Ichigo were in Hueco Mundo and were going to stay there like it was some sort of playground and not a place full of things that could kill you. Urahara had been told that they would probably stay there for a few hours so he used his machine to make a small gargantua and went to see what had happened to his fellow former captain himself.

It had opened up near a large hole that was probably the one made by Shinji if the lingering reiatsu was anything to go by. His destructive capabilities had increased immensely. It was probably ten times the former power of his cero.

When he had found the vizard and the hybrid they were asleep against one of the crystal tree's.

It was an interesting sight to see two people so covered in blood and demonic looking having such a peaceful expression.

There were no hollows nearby.

"You have certainly done a good amount of killing here now haven't you."

"Shut up geta-boushi. I'm tired"

"You hurt my feelings I came here looking for you as I guessed you would have tired yourself out. It looks like you need a shower to."

"Well we are not moving so unless you wanna carry us we gonna stay here Kisuke."

Well he certainly wasn't leaving them here so he picked both of them up and there swords and tried not to think about how much he was going to have to wash his clothes. "Could one of you open a gargantua?" Shinji did this with a simple wave of his hand. It seems that hollow powers really were increased by this method.

When he got back to the shoten he made sure that the gargantua had opened in his basement and threw them both in the healing springs. Not for healing but he didn't think it would be best to drag the pair of them upstairs and risk someone else seeing them like this. He went up to go and continue whatever project he was working on.

He was later called out of his room by Yoruichi and found Shinji sprawled out on his couch with Ichigo laying on his chest. I wonder if hollowfication normally made people this tired. They had done quite a bit of sleeping. Kisuke also noticed that even though they were no longer hollowfied they still had their long hair. It had been a while since he had seen Shinji with it as he had cut it short not long after they had left the gotei and gone into hiding.

Urahara took a picture with the camera he often kept on him now (that was full of pictures of Ichigo he still got to see the boy over the years) and carried on to his destination.

Woah done. WE HOLLOWFIED SHINJI AND NOW WE HAVE TWO HOLLOW DEMONS RUNNING ABOUT. I really wanted the long hair for Shinji and Ichigo as I think it looks better. I got the resurreccion release phrase Hanten shite korosu from google translate. I did invert and kill. Shinji did a lot of hollow killing it fits him. If the translation is wrong don't blame me blame google translate.

Ichigo is starting to lose his sane mentality as it has been a few years since his four year break of normal life and he is now being included in the spiritual world which matches up more to his memories.

I tried feels I don't know if I did them well though.

See ya in the next chapter.
