'Ichigos thoughts'

"Normal Speech"

-Shiro talking in Ichigos head-

* Zangetsu talking in Ichigos head *

After talking to the guards

Tetsuya and his students had been told to head towards squad 13 barracks by the gate guard. They'd been told that Captain Ukitake was too ill to come down to the gate but had said to bring Kurosaki Ichigo to him. Dreading what would happen on their way there Tetsuya, Akira and Kasumi reluctantly made their way in the direction of squad 13 barracks.

Just entering the Seireitei

Ichigo couldn't yet open his eyes. His body was in pain. Blackness was all around him. The only thing that told him he was conscious was the voices of those around him.

"Why's there a hollow in the Seireitei?"

"Who let it in?"

"Do you think it's dead? Those guys are carrying it after all."

"Heyy, look at his hair!"

"Doesn't that look like….."

The voices faded as if someone had put cotton wool in his ears. Ichigo soon fell back into the depths of his mind as the pain became too much.

Just passing through squad 11

Waking up again Ichigos eyebrow twitched as he heard the familiar rowdy voices of squad 11. His head felt like it had been used as a punch bag and the rest of his body felt numb.

"Whats with the Academy students?"

"OI! You students don't belong here!"

"We of squad 11 shall teach you a lesson."

The overconfident nature of squad 11 was starting to piss Ichigo off. He knew they were having ago at the students he'd met at the academy as he could feel their spiritual pressure. He was in no mood to put up with them, the sooner they got to Ukitake the better and these guys were getting in the way.

-Want me to take care of them king?- Shiros shrill voice reached Ichigo louder than normal.

*That would not be wise Shiro.* The wise zanpakutos voice was quieter than normal and Ichigo could barely hear him.

'Shiro Zangetsus right, your taking over will only make it worse. I only want to talk to someone. Not slaughter everyone.' Ichigo mentally rolled his eyes but still thankful, at least he knew he'd be thankful had circumstances been different.

-Suppose you're right king,- Shiro paused in confusion. –What the fuck is goin' on? I'm becoming more like you. The horror of being a pathetic human is too much for this hollow. I'm off to destroy somethin'.-

'Keep an eye on him Zangetsu, this new found rationality could prove useful to the bastard.'

*Indeed.* Ichigo left the rest to Zangetsu hoping he could help the hollow see the bright side of rationality.

"Please sirs, we only want to get to squad 13 barracks!" Kasumi pleaded bringing Ichigo back to the brainless brutes that were squad 11.

"I don't give two shits lil' girl, wha-"

Cutting the dense shinigami off as he removed himself from the shoulder of Akira, Ichigo yelled at the idiots, "WOULD YOU GUYS GIVE IT A REST! WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WASTE ON YOU!"

Obviously Ichigo had forgotten he was currently turning hollow so the reaction was not what he expected.

"Guys it's a hollow! Kill it!" one of them yelled as he charged towards Ichigo, flanked by the rest of his squad.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" they cried raising their zanpakutos as they charged.

"Quick hand me Zangetsu." Ichigo took Zangetsu from Tetsuya and sent a very weak Getsuga Tensho at the horde of idiots. "I think its best we run."

Ichigo shunpoed as fast as he could towards the spiritual pressure that belonged to Ukitake. The others could barely keep up with him and by the time they arrived Tetsuya, Akira and Kasumi were so exhausted they almost collapsed outside the barracks.

The Street outside the barracks was deserted. All they could see was the whiteness of the seki-seki rock stretching out before them with the occasional path that would turn off. Ichigo looked up towards the gateway to squad 13 that was too deserted. However, beyond the gate Ichigo could make out multiple shinigami reiatsu and guessing they were having lunch he continued on. As he did so the others gave each other nervous glances as they knew that squad 13 were training. Deciding it best not to stop him as he had little more than 3 hours till he became a full hollow they promptly followed him.

Ichigo followed the reiatsu of Captain Ukitake as he and the others walked through the barracks. When Ichigo reached a big training area he saw Ukitake sitting on the wooden veranda of the main building from the squad barracks. He was sat behind the rest of his squad who were currently watching Kiyone and Sentaro as they demonstrated what exercise they would be doing. As quietly as he could Ichigo crept towards Ukitake in hopes no one would notice him. Unfortunately Kiyone and Sentaro who were both glancing towards the captain saw Ichigo as he was creeping.

Now to other people Ichigo looks more or less like a hollow now, his white chest and arms, a long main of orange hair, a broken hollow mask on the side of his head, the hole and its markings that bring attention to it don't help matters. So when both Kiyone and Sentaro see a hollow creeping towards their Captain their going to try and stop it in any way possible. As quick as anyone's ever seen them move they charge towards the unsuspecting Ichigo whose now almost at Ukitake while the rest of his group hung back.

"CAPTAINNNNNNNNNNNN!" is all Ichigo hears from the 3rd seats before they crash into him and send him flying through the wall of the main building.

"OW! What the hell are you guys doing?" Ichigo jumps up and starts yelling at them, "I only wanted to talk to Ukitake-san without interrupting, but then you decide to shove me through a WALL!"

Ichigo looks at everyone as they stare at him. His tempers rising and with it so does his reiatsu and soon enough all of the squad are gasping for air, as they crumple to the floor from the huge pressure. Climbing though the hole that was made Ichigo comes face to face with Ukitake who is also having noticeable effort with moving. Pain burns up his arm cutting through his rage. Everyone else can now move while Ichigo is left almost immobilised by the searing pain. Clutching his arm in pain Ichigo doubles over as his tries to calm down.

'Not now! Zangetsu can you postpone this so I can talk to Ukitake?'

*I am trying Ichigo but it is becoming too much, the more it takes over your body the easier you become angered. And-* Before Zangetsu wouldn't have been so easily cut off by his hollow, but the Oni had messed with his powers too much and there was now an imbalance between the two sides.

-The easier you become angered the harder it is to quell the anger, I'll help you this once king. I don't want to but this is what happens when you become more rational and not just basic instinct.-

'I'm not going to thank you Shiro.'

-Wasn't counting on it king.- the sneer from the hollow was evident even through thoughts.

"Ichigo, are you ok?" Kasumi called as she, Akira and Tetsuya appeared from around the side of the building concern evident in their eyes as well as fear of the monster he could become.

"Don't worry they're holding it back right now." Ichigo patted his zanpakuto as he gave them the best smile he could, reassuring them he wouldn't become a hollow.

"Ichigo? Is that really you? What has happened to you?" Ukitake asked his expression guarded, his hand resting on his zanpakuto. As he spoke the warning claxon rang out across the Seireitei , Ichigo sweat dropped realising it was because of what happened only minutes ago.

"Uh yeah, I came here to talk to you about this Ukitake-san." Looking around him Ichigo noticed that the squad had drawn their swords, an expected reaction considering he was turning hollow.

"I would invite you to in to sit down but, I can sense Captain Kuchiki on his way here. No doubt he felt your reiatsu earlier. So quickly ask what it is you need to know." Ukitake coughed a little as he finished, getting concerned glances from his squad who had now relaxed their stances around Ichigo.

"I need to know as much as you know about Oni, what are their abilities and who are they?"

"Oni. I haven't heard that name in ages. From what I know they're a race like hollows, only they keep their soul and can be rational. The take the souls from the living or dead, so technically they can feed off hollow. Unfortunately they chose not to and the soul society was forced to eliminate them like they did the Quincies as few decades later." He paused allowing Ichigo to take it in, "As for their abilities, it depends on the Oni. Some Onis were once human so the only extra abilities they gain are speed or strength. As for the pure ones well it could range from anything as little as speed or as powerful as hollow, shinigami and their own powers making them nearly impossible to kill. They don't have the powers of a hollow or shinigami just those equal to them, but as I said their own ability varies. The only one I knew was a psychological one that decreases the responsiveness of your limbs. well it makes you believe it has."

"I take it you fought against one Ukitake-san?" Ichigo asked as he took in all this new information, how was he supposed to defeat them when they could be more powerful than a hollow and shinigami combined!

"I'm not happy to admit it but yes I did. But I take it that this has something to do with your current state Kurosaki-san." He indicated to the hole, the arm and Ichigos chest.

"Yeah, I was attacked by one and well I woke up with myself turning into a hollow." Ichigo turned to go, "Thanks Ukitake-san, but it best I go now, Zangestu and Shiro can only prevent it for so long. Akira-san, Kasumi-san and Tatsyua-san stay here, I'm sure Ukitake will get you back to the academy without being held responsible for me."

"Kurosaki, you shall not be going anywhere. And as for your friends they shall be convicted of aiding a hollow against the soul society." Byakuya Kuchiki flash-stepped next to Ukitake and before Ichigo knew it sent a high level binding kido at him, "Bakudo #63: Sajō Sabaku."

Ichigos arms became bound to his sides as a thick golden chain rapped itself round him. And this time there were no weak points.

*I know now is not the right time but we can no longer hold back the transformation from earleir.*

"Byakuya! What the hell do you think you're doing! I have to go now!" Ichigo roared his voice distorted in a hollow way as pain sliced its way up his arm.

'Damn it. Looks like everyones going to get front row seats to the freak show.'

-It's not that exciting king. I've been watching it happen the whole time and its me you're turning into.-

*I'm sorry we didn't warn you about Byakuya Ichigo we were busy with the oncoming storm.*

'Don't worry Zangetsu, there's not much we can do now.'

Whatever Zangetsu had been planning to say was blocked out by the continuation of the transformation. It was worse than the first time, the burning and stripping of flesh wouldn't let him drop into unconsciousness. No. instead it made him stay awake as his arm was destroyed and remade in the image of his hollow. His hands too were stretched and moulded into claws that could easily tear into flesh. Ichigo screamed and yelled as the transformation went on, he wanted it to end but not even the emotion of disperse was available to the soul reaper anymore. The people around him became no more than a red haze as rage filled his vision. Ichigo tried to fight it and it was obvious to those watching who simply stared at his in horror when they saw the remoulding taking pace first hand, even Byakuya was speechless as he watched the boy shake in pain unable to move because of the kido.

"So this is what he was talking about earlier, Captain Kuchiki would you remove the kido. I doubt he is much of a threat in his current state." Ukitake asked.

Simply nodding his head the noble dispersed the kido around the now ghost of a once great soul reaper.

Nobody expected what happened next, which was both Ichigos zanpakuto and hollow to materialise and grab Ichigo. The hollow looked just like Ichigo, only in reversed colours. The arms and torso were both that of a how Ichigo looked, its hair was long but instead of orange it was a bright cruel white that also reached far down its back. To top it off his vicious black and yellow eyes glared at the surrounding shinigami as a stark contrast to his pale skin.

His zanpakuto was the same as ever, the dark clad old man with a pair on sunglasses.

"We suggest you do not follow Ichigo when he is like he is now, if you want to help him go south-west of the soul society, it should take 2 hours." Zangetsu said to the captains.

"Yeah or just follow ta weird reiatsu signature south-west of the Shinigami Academy." Shiro sneered at them his yellow eyes narrowing.

"Who are you?" Byakuya indicated to the hollow.

"Tch, you don't remember me kickin' your ass on Soukyoku hill?" a evil grin made its way onto the hollows icy face.

"You! So you-" Byakuya was cut off by Ichigos mentor of a zanpakuto.

"We do not have time for this, Shiro grab Ichigo, I will carry my manifestation."

"Tch, still don't trust trust me Zan'?" Shrio picked up Ichigo as Zangetsu grabbed the sword.

"While you have become rational you still contain basic hollow instinct. It's best we prevent it from rearing its head." Stated Zangetsu before he flash-stepped away.

"Heh, See ya around captains," he turned to Ichigos new found helpers, "Ya been a great help to king, but don't go to fight the Oni is what he's wantin'."

And with that the hollow vanished from the sight of the shinigami leaving them all confused.

"I think it's time for a captains meeting don't you Captian Kuchiki?" Ukitake asked.

"That boy always brings trouble with him." Byakuya said in his usual cold voice before using a hell butterfly to initiate a captains meeting.

Looks like Ichigo is losing the battle against the instincts of a hollow. Will his gang of helpers listen to his hollows words? Will the gotei help Ichigo battle against the Oni? Find out next time :D
