This is should be a short chapter cause' its only based around what's happening in the world of the living, Kasumi, Akira and their kido teacher who are transporting Ichigo to the Seireitei.

Purely wrote this due to free time :L

In the World of the Living

Orihimie, Ishida, Chad and Ichigos other friends weren't extremely worried about Ichigos sudden disappearance, they'd all assumed he'd gone to see Rukia in the Seireitei and Kon had failed to remember his message. The only thing that bothered them was the fact that he hadn't told them he was going as they all wanted to see Rukia too.

"When do you think Kurosaki-kun will be back?" Orihimie asked Ishida as they all sat on the roof eating lunch.

"If my guess is right he should be back today as he never leaves the World of the Living for too long." Ishida sighed, "It's as if he believes me incapable of dealing with the local hollows."

"I'm sure he doesn't mean it like that Ishida-kun, I hope he comes back soon. That strange spiritual pressure the other night keeps bugging me…" Orihimie trailed off into thought and soon went into her usual daydreaming state.

Noticing this Ishida and everyone else soon got back to their lunch mussing over what Orihimie said among other things such as their school work.

The school day had finished and Ishida had decided to visit the place where he'd last sensed Ichigos spiritual pressure.

The park was deserted which was unusual as man children normally played in this area after school. He wondered around the whole area of the park picking up traces of Ichigos reiatsu among others, including two hollows and one that he couldn't identify. He vaguely recognised one of the hollows and shivered as he remembered when he'd first met it. He'd never forget how wild Kurosaki had been, they'd all be dead had Ulquiorra not intervened when he did. The other hollow reiatsu was just your everyday garden variety hollow, now the only thing left was to find out what the third trace of reiatsu was.

As much as he didn't want to, Ishida decided to go see the mental ex-captain Urahara about his findings.

Back in the Soul Society in some random forest

"Come on Kasumi! We've only got 30 minutes to get to the Squad 13 barracks!" Akira called out behind him as he shunpoed through the forest carrying Ichigo, who was still out cold.

"It's not my fault! You know I can't shunpo as fast as you and sensei!" Kasumi yelled breathlessly as her unhelpful friend.

Their kido teacher Tetsuya simply shook his head at the ranting youngsters and continued leading the way to the Seireitei. He himself was still questioning why he even let them drag the hollowfied substitute all the way to the Seireitei in the first place.

The edge of the Seireitei

Ichigo condition had worsened. One arm was completely hollowfied as was the top half of his chest, while the other was slowly moving that way. Black tattoos spread out from the place where a hole was still in formation on his chest, dragging backwards over his shoulders in 6 separate lines. The only piece of his shihakusho that was left was the legs but soon that would be gone too, replaced by the monster that could destroy the Soul Society.

"Ahh there's the entrance! Let's go guys times-a-ticking." Akira practically bounced towards the entrance of the Seireitei, who would have guessed the hollowfication brought such happiness to him.

"Surely they're not going to just let us wonder in with a vizard…" Tetsuya said receiving glances from his students.

"Is that what he's called? They never taught that at the academy." Kasumi pondered as they caught up with Akira who was currently arguing with a confused guard of soul reapers.

The guard consisted of 5 shiniagmi who stood on the outside one of the main entrances to the Seireitei who of which didn't want to be dealing with a lost academy student. That was before they saw Ichigo.

"You bring a hollow into the Court of PURE souls!" one of the guards stressed the word pure.

"But he's not a hollow! Look!" Akira dropped Ichigo onto the floor so that the guards could now see that he was indeed a soul reaper, "Show them his sword sensei."

Tetsuya pulled the giant cleaver off his back as he stood above the sorry state of a vizard.

"That's Kurosaki Ichigos blade!" they said in unison. Glancing at the boy on the floor they realised who it must be and simply stood there lost for words.

"I suggest gentleman that you go get Captain Ukitake of the 13th division for us, tell him it's an emergency concerning Kurosaki Ichigo." Tetsuya ordered them and when they did move he 'politely' added, "Go. Now! Or shall I tell your Captains that you put the soul society as risk?"

Soon enough one of the guards called a hell butterfly and sent the message to Captain Ukitake as well as the Head Captain. They saw no problem in informing the Head Captain about all of this.

Uraharas shop. The World of the Living

"Rukia what are you doing here? I thought Kurosaki went to see you." Ishida was stood in the entrance of Uraharas shop when he saw Rukia walking in from the back with Urahara.

"No he hasn't. Why'd you ask?" confusion swept across her features.

"Oh. It's just his spiritual pressure vanished the other day and no one's seen him since, so we thought he came to see you."

"I see well I've received reports of strange reiatsu in the area so I came to investigate. Has he used your senkimon Urahara?" She looked at the shop keeper who currently had his fan brought up to his mouth, thinking.

"Nope, I take it you've been tracking his reiatsu Ishida-san?" Urahara quizzed as he flapped his stupid green fan.

Nodding, "Yes, but I found trances I couldn't detect so-"

Ishida was cut off when a hell butterfly appeared fluttering next to Rukia as it landed on her hand. Bringing it up to her face to recover the message.

"Ichigo…" Rukia froze up her face in complete shock as she took in the message from the hell butterfly. It couldn't be happening could it? His hollow was supposed to be dormant and only active when he used the creepy mask.

"What is it Rukia?" Both Urahara and Ishida asked.

"Ichigo was found today at the Shinigami Academy." She paused almost unable to continue, "He's become a hollow!"

Aha, looks like it was longer then it was meant to be. Oops.

Now will they save Ichigo even with the bleak situation they're in? And how did Akira and Co get into the Seireitei with a hollow?

All will be revealed next time :D

What is an Oni? Some of you may ask (not all).

Because I wanted to be a little traditional I decided to find a Japanese creature that took peoples souls as well as some other characteristics. I know they sound similar to a hollow which is sorta the idea.

From what I could get off the internet (well Wikipedia, go my awesome research skills :L) I found that they're spiritual beings that can change form in order to deceive humans and devour their souls. I decided to make it so that they only removed the soul and didn't eat the whole being like hollows do. It also said the most common colours were red and blue so keep an eye out for ones that aren't these colours *hint hint*.

As for why one of them kicked Ichigos ass when they first meet and will almost continue to do so, well that because apparently they are said to carry round iron clubs which Wikipedia says gives the idea that they are invincible or undefeatable.

I won't say much more cause it might ruin it.

Thanks for reading

Review XD

P.S Almost forgot to add that I'm gonna be updating the previous chapter because Kasumi's meant to be a fourth year not a second.
