Theme song: Lose yourself By: Eminem

All the shinigami were killed the exact same way…by a hollow except for the southern perimeter guard…he apparently died by sword… "Is there any other information?" I asked.

Soi Fon came in and said, "I just sent half the mobile corps out after the report of the dead shinigami and they all died, apparently this time by sword…we suspect rouge shinigami but that doesn't explain the hollow-"

I thought I saw Aizen's mouth twitch into a smile as he said, "If I may, is it possible the shinigami have a power similar to a hollow? Or perhaps a hollow have a power similar to a shinigami?"

I thought I heard Kurai growl as Soi Fon said, "I'll look into that but for now Aizen patrol southern Rukongai Urahara take the north," she flash stepped away as I headed north Kurai suddenly let out a ear rippling growl What is it?! I shouted a bit alarmed.

Nothing…please just promise me you'll stay away from Aizen… he said his voice sounded as if it was holding back anger.

Honestly I'm a bit surprised by your sudden hatred toward Aizen! I protested.

Please just trust us Kurenai…we have good reason! Awai said, I sighed what's with everyone today?! Although I did find it a bit suspicious…first Gin was thirty minutes later then the rest of us…then Gin had his sword out in Aizen's office, there was blood on it, and Soi Fon told me she sent half the mobile corps out before the meeting, they were all killed by sword, was it possible?

What do you guys know about Gin? I asked them.

Other then the fact he reminds you of- I cut Awai off.

I SWEAR I'LL THROUGH YOU INTO HUECO MUNDO IF YOU SPEAK THAT NAME! I ignored them for the rest of the time…as Kurai went into wolf form and let me ride him I noticed nothing suspicious about the Rukongai…I went around a second time and found a group of thousands of villagers in the middle of area 80 of the Rukongai all dead by a hollow attack…I suddenly had a flash back of the mysterious events 70 years ago…it was kind of like this …people mysteriously killed by hollows…

Remember that? I asked them.

Yes…we remember…Awai's voice sounded almost hostile…

You went with Kensei to investigate…Kurai reminded me, I was suddenly aware of another presence I jolted around as Kurai growled…ripple in the sky suddenly opened as a Menos Grande and four hollows stepped out! I was planning on making a Kido barrier to keep the villagers safe but apparently they weren't gonna wait! A red orb started gathering reishi in the Menos's mouth, a cero!

As I yelled, "Ookami-no-sono-kurai Higyou-no-ato-tsuki-zetsumei!" as five reishi crescents shot out from the dagger it sliced three of the four hollows as they were destroyed the cero was headed right toward me I jumped up and dodged it as I used the crystal orb to absorb the attack right before it blew into a forest, I commanded the other reishi crescents to make a shield protecting myself as I released the cero from the orb, killing the remainder but five more hollows came! GEEZ! I didn't realize there was a second Menos from the first batch! A cero was heading my way and I didn't have enough time! Well this was a lame way to die!

HAHAHA! FINALLY! a voice in my mind suddenly shouted, as I felt myself lose control of my body it started attacking! Wh-what was I doing?! Your fighting! Well I'm fighting! The voice shouted.

WHO ARE YOU!? I shouted at myself.

Kurenai! FIGHT IT! Kurai's voice told me the strain in his voice was noticeable.

Fight what?!

THE HOLLOW! It's controlling you! What hollow?!

YOU MEAN ME?! the voice shouted again, as my body continued to fight the hollows I noticed I wasn't looking through my own eyes! I was looking through someone else's!

Finally figure that out did you? the voice said again.

Are you on my side?! I shouted at it.

Let's just say it'd be a problem for me if you died! it shouted.

FIGHT IT Kurenai! Kurai shouted again, I tried to move my arm when I was suddenly thrust into a pool of water I saw my reflection! A hollow mask covered my face! A flashing image of that night came as I began fighting for control at the same time fighting for my life against the Hollows! I began getting desperate and decided just to let it fight it wasn't doing anything wrong!

THOSE ANNOYING ZANPAKU-TO'S OF YOURS HAVE HELD ME BACK TO LONG! I WANT TO FIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHT

DAMMIT Kurenai! FIGHT IT! Kurai yelled again.

Why?! It's not like-

I began when Awai yelled, IT WILL TAKE CONTROL OF YOU! FIGHT IT! well I wasn't ready to be controlled for the rest of my life so I decided to follow there orders I fought for control.

As the voice yelled, You win for now…but I'll be back! And when I am it will be me who gains control! it shouted as the mask came off only one Menos was left I personally felt utterly exhausted, as I sliced up the last Menos a cero was coming right at me when someone blocked it, Aizen? He held back the cero with just his sword!

"Th-Thanks…" I said out of breath, I didn't see why Kurai and Awai told me not to trust Aizen! For crying out loud he just saved my life! But I had other problems…that hollow mask! That's when I remembered that dream…the hollow mask! Shinji and the others all had them…Aizen helped me up when he noticed the dead villagers.

"Well I guess we know how they died…" he said most likely referring to the Menos…

"Yeah…" I muttered as Soi Fon and the undead half of the mobile corps showed up.

"Captain's Aizen and Urahara please report!" one of the mobile corps people asked as I told them my side of the story, not including the part where I turn into a hollow, Aizen said he found a familiar group of dead bodies in the southern Rukongai…that's when I noticed my leg was bleeding I hid it underneath my hakama pants.

"You should get that leg healed…" Aizen pointed out, -_- I used the crystal orb and healed it.

"There…" I muttered… That night as I was laying in bed I decided to ask them…

So…what was that? I asked, they didn't answer which annoyed me so I retorted to there silence, Fine! Don't tell me! Next time I'll just let it control me and see where that get's me! They both let out sighs.

Then Awai said, It's time you learned the truth about what happened that night…

SO YOU GUYS DID KNOW! I shouted.

Yes…we knew… Kurai began, And we've been lying to you about it for some time…but it was only to protect you…geez they sound like some overprotective parents…

It's time you learned the truth…
