Here is Chapter 3!

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or Its characters, all I own is the plot

Warnings: Mention of boyxboy and this chapter has lots of dialogue. Sorry, that's how the chapter worked best.


Ichigo woke to pure white. For a split second, he thought he had died and gone to heaven, but then he remembered that 1) Heaven was Soul Society and 2) This was not Soul Society. If he had to quess, he would say that it was Hueco Mundo, because, after all, it was its residents that had drugged him. Slowly, head spinning, he sat up on the soft bed he was laying on and looked around. Everything was white. The floor, the ceiling, the walls, evens all of the furniture as white. The only thing that wasn't white was Ichigo himself. It was then that he realised that he was naked. Not that it mattered. His shinigami robes had been so ripped that they would have done little to cover him.

As he was worrying about being completely at his captors mercy, and wondering what they wanted with him, his inner hollow dragged him into his inner world.

It was the same as always. Buildings on their sides and left and right being up and down. The only thing that had changed since his last visit was the sky. The clouds were a dark grey colour and the sir smelt like a storm was about to begin.

"Welcome back King."

The strawberry turned around to face his hollow self. The black eyes with the yellow irises never failed to creep Ichigo out. But they couldn't be changed, si he didn't fuss about it.

"Hello Shiro."

After the Vizards had taught Ichigo to control his hollow, the two had become quite close, almost like brothers. When some time had passed, the hollow had asked for a name, saying that he was sick of being called 'Hollow'. So, on the same day, Ichigo, Zangetsu and the hollow sat down in his inner world for a few hours trying to come up with a name. They had, had Akihiko (Bright Prince), Jirou (Second Son) and Tamotsu (Defender/Protector). As a joke Ichigo had even suggested Bob, but a quick punch from his hollow told him that Bob was a no. After much fighting, the three of them decided on Shirosaki Hichigo, which means white, and it sounded like Ichigo's name.

"You're panicking King. Don't. You'll make it rain and you know me ant the Old Man hate the rain."

"Well sorry! But excuse me for being worried about being in Hueco Mundo, the home of our enemies!" How dare his hollow tell him not to panicked in a very panickable (I know it's not a word) situation.

"No need to yell, ya idiot! That's why I brought ya here, I don't think you're in any danger." After seeing that Ichigo was clam and giving him confused looks, Shiro went on. "Don't ask me how I know, it's just my gut talking, but Old Man Zangetsu agrees with me."

This was when Ichigo noticed to absence of his swords spirit.

"Where is the Old Man?"

"Meditating on one of his poles again. Look King, you have to go back now because some ones coming, but don't worry about a thing, you'll be fine. We're both here to help you if you need it." When Ichigo had faded, he added, "Goodbye, partner…"

(Back In The Outside World)

Shiro was right. As soon as Ichigo regained conscience, the door at the far end of the room was opening. Through it came Aizen, carrying some clothes for Ichigo. His brown eyes brightened when he saw that his 'quest' was awake.

"Good to see you awake, Kurosaki-kun. I brought some clothes for you. You're shinigami robes were virtually destroyed, so it was simpler to give you new ones."

Ichigo took the robes (white, he noted) and waited for Aizen to turn around before he got changed into them. He didn't really want to wear them, but what chose did he have? It was easier to give in then argue for his old clothes. Besides, Aizen was right, they had virtually been destroyed.

When he had finished changing, he coughed to alert Aizen that it was okay to him to turn around. Aizen smiled when he saw the outfit on Ichigo. It was a lot like the boy's Bankai uniform, but white and the trousers were more like a normal pair of shinigami Hakama's. (Is that right?)

Aizen motioned Ichigo to sit on the sofa, which he did. When he was seated, Aizen sat opposite him, knowing that the human boy did not trust him. They sat like that for a few minutes, before Ichigo opened his mouth, nervous by the silence.

"Why I'm I here, Aizen?"

The ex-shinigami seemed to consider the question carefully before answering,

"Because I wish you to be here. You have been hidden from the truth for far too long, I want to set you free."

Seeing that the boy had no idea what he was talking about, he continued.

"Why do you fight me?" Ichigo didn't say anything. "Is it because Soul Society tells you to?" This time, the death berry nodded his head slowly, almost looking ashamed for admitting that.

He's never done anything to me. When I think about it, he didn't kill Rukia to get the Hôgyoku, and he ordered that other guy to kill her. And he could have easily killed me, but he didn't. Maybe…I should hear him out.

"What would you do if I told that Soul Society was lying to you? That they were the 'bad guy' instead of me?"

Ichigo just stared at him. What was Aizen saying? That couldn't be true; it had to be a mind trick. And yet, some thing in Aizens eyes told him it wasn't. Something told him that Aizen was telling the truth, but Ichigo needed proof before he actually believed him.

"How do I know you're not lying yourself? That this isn't just a way to get me to join you? And why are you telling me?"

This caused Aizen to chuckle slightly. The boy was smart, he didn't trudt some thing like that without all the facts. But the brown haired man saw the doubt in the human's eyes, swa the lack of complete faith.

"I can show you that it's true but as for why." He stood up and walked over to Ichigo and leant in front of him. "Because I love you." And with that, he placed his lips on Ichigo's, in a soft, gentle kiss with no tongue. When he pulled away, Ichigo was speechless, his eyes were wide.

"Please, let me show you what Soul Society is hiding, then you can decide what to do."

After a minute of thinking, Ichigo looked into Aizens eyes and saw no lies, so he slowly nodded and took Aizen's outstretched hand.
