Author's Note: Brendon "Idaho" Tarrant. Ghosts are just hallucinations.

Ichigo was annoyed and angry. He knew exactly who was speaking and why it was speaking to him. Because she hated him and would love to taunt him.

"You have no right to live on this new perfect world! Your existence ruined everything! You can keep your shinigami and hollow and even quincy whores, but all of the others belong to Sasuke and Sasuke only! I'm gonna give you a first and last warning, don't try to leave Ichigo! I will have my pets demolish to such an extent that your new little blonde whore daughter will barely be able to recognize you, and Halibel will prefer Sasuke as her mate!"

"Shut up!" said Ichigo at once. He made Zangetsu appear on his hands, as Azure laughed. He cut through a wall. As the wall fell, To Ichigo's shock, he saw Nanao, apparently pregnant of eight months, convulsing and releasing stuff from her mouth like a rabid dog from the other side.

"Look at that pathetic piece of meat. Like the others shinigamis, she was able to resist my control over this world's living beings and rejected Sasuke. I couldn't forgive these, so I put all of them inside this facility. I was planning for her and her baby to spent their long lives entirely on this room, only a few steps away from the father. But sadly, you woke up."

Ichigo felt sad, but he had to continue. His sword slashed through another door. A weird green android appeared and tried to grab him. Ichigo slashed him in seconds.

"If that's all you have Azure, then you have nothing."

"Ohohoho, that thing there is just to move that bitch around so she can eat it. I actually have something far more sinister waiting for you."

Ichigo dismissed her and slashed through another door. Was then that Ichigo saw something really sinister. Something perfectly imitating him. Something that seemed like a image in the mirror. A doppel ganger. Ichigo made the hand sign to dispel a genjutsu, but instead the other Ichigo took advantage of Ichigo not thinking he was real to throw him through a wall to the outside.

Ichigo looked around as he fell to realize he was in a pyramid inside a big cave illuminated by lamps on the top, with barren ground below. Ichigo spinned on the air to land on his feet, and saw the Other Ichigo jump towards him from above. Their blades collided, but Ichigo managed to repel him. The clone landed on front of him, and Ichigo quickly launched a Getsuga Tenshou towards him, and to his surprise the clone was cut in two.

As he fell dead on the ground, his form as Ichigo dissolved into of a bald man wearing a white uniform. Ichigo winked in surprise. "He was pretty weak...or is this a trap?"

Ichigo lowered his sword and spent long minutes walking in circles around the man's body. Finally, Ichigo walked towards him and examined his body. "Is this guy..a doppelganger? But why did he attack me alone? It seems so..."

Ichigo realized someone was behind him. He moved his sword to block the blade of his next, opponent, that also looked like him. The second Ichigo clone smiled on Kurosaki's face; the orange-haired boy jumped away from him. The clone Ichigo kept smiling and, before an horrified Ichigo, began to mutate in both Ichigo's hollow and fox forms; in seconds, Ichigo saw himself before a red abomination that looked like melting bones holding a sword.

Then it began to attack, without sense of strategy or self-preservation: it tried to slash Ichigo, but Ichigo could easily block him; charged his Cero but Ichigo could easily dodge it; ripped rocks from the ground but his throws were telegraphed, so Ichigo dodged them without effort. Realizing he was dealing with a perfect but dumb copy of himself, Ichigo used a simple hand sign to erect a wall of Earth around him and used the few seconds of protection it gave to him to turn into a Hollow-fox himself.

As the clone broke through the wall, Ichigo grabbed his head with his hands and twisted his neck. The enemy fell dead.

Ichigo turned back into a human form and took some seconds to breathe. "Ok, this was disturbing". He looked up, to the top of the prison. He couldn't see actually the top from there because it was pyramidal, so he took some steps back so he could completely see the top. It seemed to connect a hole on the ceiling. Ichigo looked around. It was a closed hole. Without exit.

Deciding the best way was up, Ichigo walked in the walls, slowly advancing towards the top.

As he reached the top, Ichigo realized there was still another, third person around him. He turned around and saw a man wearing spectacles, and Ichigo realized lines on the air around him, imprisoning him into a tiny sphere that fell downwards. Ichigo transformed again into a Hollow Beast but it was useless, and he fell on the ground, imprisoned. He hears Azure's laugh from somewhere.

This annoys Ichigo so much that, unexpectedly, the bars of his spherical prison break. Azure's laughter stops. Ichigo hears her screams. He don't cares. He howls like a beast and launches his Cero towards the man wearing spectacles, that tries to create a barrier between Ichigo's attack and his own body, but Ichigo's Cero breaks through and melts him as he screams hopelessly.

Ichigo transforms back and feels tired. Suddenly he feels convulsion and begins to see hallucinations of a woman that is completely, absolutely white, and resembled him a little. Ichigo's begins to feel an erection growing in his pants. His eyes twitch, and he seems himself before old man Zangetsu and the bleached girl, with yellow is sitting on the ground, as is Ichigo, but Zangetsu is on two feet. They're surrounded by ruins in a white space.

She talks first. "Well well well, old man, your time is up. You spent too much time here. I was always Ichigo's mate, you know. Since before he was born. It's only natural, you know? Men like women, boys like girls. You're just ugly and useless".

Zangetsu let out a sigh.

"I don't need to hear your trash talk. Look at me Ichigo. I'm telling a lie to you for a long time. The truth is that Urahara didn't give you hollow powers, that's not like him, he's not so cruel. A hollow attacked your mother before you were born. Your mother managed to be saved, but the hollow kept living inside you. When Rukia gave you powers, it manifested in the form of your sword, Zangetsu. I...I'm not a sword. Your mother was a Quincy. All Quincies receive their power from one source: the Emperor. Your existence is singular: hollows naturally destroy quincies instead of consuming them, but your shinigami parts, inherited from your father, prevent your body of destroying itself, keeping you stable.

But now...Azure has somehow harnessed Quincies in her hands. I can feel the hand of the Emperor...Even him may be a puppet in her hands now. The Emperor can perfectly push me back to him at any moment. So, sorry, but...You and her must finish this alone now. I'm sorry".

"Zangetsu" began to fade from Ichigo's vision, leaving him alone with the girl with yellow eyes.

"So Ichigo, you want to kill that dumb whore, right?" Ichigo didn't said anything. "Don't worry, that old jerk was only holding us back. Just accept me and we will get everything we ever wanted."

She walked towards him and kissed him in the mouth. Ichigo felt like his head, his mouth, his entire body was burning. And so was the ground, the air, and the buildings. The desire burning his heart filled him with life, and the body of Zangetsu melted in fron of him, flowing towards him as it disintegrated. Ichigo woke up erected and motivated and, with great violence, swung his sword towards the ceiling while laying on the ground, destroying it and making it explode. The light of the explosion revealed a blue sky as the rocks fell. Ichigo simply destroyed the rocks who fell on him.

Standing up, Ichigo walked towards the hole the first clone made, and carried Nanao, then Halibel, then the baby's body to the ground outside. Looking around, Ichigo saw a forest and mountains and, suddenly, looked back into the pyramid underground, now exposed to the world to see

Ichigo thought about it and looked back at Halibel.

"If she wanted to blackmail and force me into submission, she could have just threatened me to kill you through this visors. She didn't do that."

He took off their VR visors. Both Naruko and Halibel woke up confused.

"Ichigo, wow, I had a dream".

"Daddy? Mommy?"

Then Nanao began to yell and scream, and Ichigo and Halibel realized she was going to give birth.

Panic set in. Halibel urged her to push, Ichigo held her arms to avoid her of harming herself. There was blood, there was placenta, there was everything. Naruko's only luck was being too young to comprehend what carnage was happening in front of her. The baby was born crying and Halibel was laughing as the little boy fed on her without problems. But she knew she wasn't the mother and gave it to Nanao. The girl, through not exactly sane, smiled as her child sucked on her breast.

Ichigo looked back on the pyramid below. He wondered what more it hided. He was sure it don't would be so small if it only contained five people. He turned to Halibel.

"Halibel, I'm going to investigate that. I discovered something about myself, and I think there's others like me, that need help. Azure is manipulating them. I need to freed them. Please, find a place to hide with Naruko and Nanao and her baby."

Halibel nodded with her head, but as Ichigo walked towards the hole and the pyramid, she made a question.

"Ichigo, do you know who is the father of Nanao's baby"

For one second, Ichigo almost took responsibility, but then wondered of how long ago he had sex with Nanao, thanks to virtual reality.

If Azure controlled Quincies, she could have made one mate with her.

"I don't know".
