Okay so the votes are in and you'll find out soon what I'm doing with Chie, but I'll have to put up another pole for the ending. There are three options:

I could be evil and have an ending you all might hate me for :P

Have an ending that isn't as evil ^^

Have a 'happy' ending

Depending what's chosen I might make it lead onto another series, if people enjoy this one.

I own none of the right to bleach, that goes to Tite Kubo

Thanks for all the reviews you guys have been doing, I'm glad you've all been enjoying it :D

-Shiro thinking-

"Shiro talking"

Tastes Like Family

Nobody noticed Shiro and Chie as they ran towards the collection of spiritual beings. That was all thanks to Chies ability to shield spiritual pressure from being detected. But as they walked through town they found the streets were bare. Nobody was outside, not even cats, dogs or birds dared to stroll around in a battle zone. Shiro noticed that lack of pillars that had been used to switch the fake Katakura with the real one last time Aizen attack. That must mean there were still people here. Shiro smirked, more to eat after his first meal.

"So how do you know about these people?" His new companion asked, her airy voice floating towards him from behind.

"Well," he smirked, "I think I'll tell you later, over a nice campfire."

"There are no campfires in Hueco Mundo." Chie said.

"…I wasn't being literal Chie."

"I know," Chie said giggling.

"Tch." Shiro found it hard to find Chie irritating. In the short time he'd known her, she'd grown on him. She had a relatively understanding air about her. She'd become a great Arrancar, if they ever managed to evolve that far. It was also the twinkle in her eyes. There was the same bloodlust there that he had but there was also something else. Something he had yet to identify let alone understand.

They arrived outside the familiar shop. The air was thick with the sweet taste of reiatsu, sending shivers down the spines of both Vasto Lordes. There would be no stopping them now. They'd smelt and tasted the reiatsu that was in the air and it, like a drug, had intoxicated them.

"Boy you sure know how to hunt." Chie purred clearly happy about the easy hunt.

"Tch, you're so easily pleased." Shiro called as he kicked open the paper thin entrance. They strolled through the now open entrance way and towards the back of the shop. At the back they found the trapdoor to the basement of the shop and their meal. Smirking at each other the hungry Vasto Lordes climbed through and unable to stop themselves they had a race down the stairs. Shiro won, thanks to Ichigo who'd been a pretty good at shunpo. Chie hadn't been too far behind her so he waited for her.

They didn't have to look far for their meal. In fact they didn't have to look at all. The group of people who were to be their meal were camped just in front of the stairs and were obviously frozen with terror. Shiro recognised everyone in the group, there were some of Ichigos friends at school (he didn't care for their names), then there was Orihime, Ichigos sisters, Rukia and the kids that worked with Urahara. Rukia was the first to step forwards, ushering everyone behind her as she drew her zanpakuto. The two hollows looked at her, then at each other and the proceeded to laugh at the pitiful soul reaper before them.

"Rukia-chan we all know that won't stop us," Shiro taunted.

"Stay-Wait how do you know my name?" Rukia demanded clearly confused which was when Orihime spoke up.

"K-K-Kurosaki-k-k-kun?" She stuttered, recognising the form of Ichigos hollow. Shock crept over the faces of everyone who seemed to relax a bit. They thought Ichigo would never hurt them, he was a brother, a friend and a saviour. Hurting those he loved wasn't Ichigo. But how wrong they were, Ichigo was no longer here.

"We'll if you wanna call me that the go on, won't make it any easier." Shirk smirked as he watched the shocked faces crumble into fear from his words.

"You know these guys Shiro-chan?" Chie asked from behind him.

"Me? Personally I don't, but that can't be said for my old self though." Shiro paused, "You ready to eat Chie-chan?"

"I'll always be ready to eat. Which ones are you having or is it a free for all?" grinned the hungry Vasto.

"Free For All!" yelled Shiro before the whole place turned into a scream-fest.

The grinning hollows jumped forwards at their prey. Nothing would get in the way, not even the fact Ichigo was still inside the hollow. Said soul reaper was still out for the count but when he awoke the nightmares he'd have would haunt him for the rest of his life. Everyone knew that hollows went for their families in order to fill the hole and pain that came with being a hollow. If only Urahara and others had remembered that, maybe Ichigos friends wouldn't have been put through the pain that came with being eaten.

Shiro went for Rukia first. The reaper was no match for him, she didn't even have time to go into Shikai before his hand went straight through her gut and his jaw clamped onto her shoulder. He bit down hard making her scream in pain as he ripped at the flesh which was her shoulder. The screaming only made it more fun for the sadistic hollows. Shiro pinned the whimpering Rukia as he cackled, high on the spiritual pressure he was consuming. As he continued to bit and nibble at flesh blood covering his face and drenching Rukia, Chie was eating both the kids that helped out Urahara. Both kids were on the floor, one held down by her tail the other by her hands. She ate the boy Jinta first. He was in a bloodied state, one arm had been torn to shreds leaving him barely conscious while Chie mauled at the kids stomach. The puddle of blood around Jinta tainted Chies scales but she didn't care. She continued to bite and pull at the stringy sinew which connected flesh to bone and when she was satisfied that the boys soul was gone she repeated the some on Ururu.

After Ururu Chie found the twin sisters. They hadn't put up much of a fight, nor did they last long. Their childish screams and cries pleaded to her to stop but they fell on deaf ears. Soon the cries were silenced as the girls died their soul gone. They'd died holding hands in an attempt to comfort each other as they life was eaten away.

The others had been screaming at them to stop. But when they realised that words would not reach them, they ran for the exit only to be stopped by an invisible force. Shiro looked up from the disappearing form of Rukia, a bloodied smirk spread over his face. Chie had but up a barrier to stop their food from escaping. Shiro who'd finished his first meal went for one of Ichigos school friends, the one he'd always punched in the face. The guys screams soon faded as he no longer had the ability to scream when Shrio ripped out his throat. Only gurgles filled with blood came out as Shiro continued to consume the muscle and flesh of Ichigos friend.

While the Vasto Lorde continued to feed Tatsuki took her chance to take a swipe at the hollow who'd once been Ichigo. She ignored the warnings of the other three that it would end badly as she ran towards the beast that was ravaging Keigos body. Before she managed to even get halfway to the white beast the female hollow came slamming into her ripping her arm off in the process. She screamed, but the only people who could hear her screams were those who were soon to be eaten too. She cried out to them, even if it was futile.

"Ru..RUN!" Tatsukis voice was a blood filled yell. Tears filled their eyes as they began to run away from the horrific sights of their friends being eaten by someone they used to know. The screams and sounds of ripping flesh echoed all around them as they ran deeper into the cave. They knew their running was futile, but there could be the hope that someone would save them. That hope was soon torn away.

Once Shiro and Chie had finished Keigo and Tatsuki they'd moved onto Chizuru and Miziruo. While the tearing of flesh and their lifeblood poured to the floor Orihime sat against a rock hugging her knees. All her friends were dead. Their smell of their blood polluted the air. Everything was gone, what was the point in defeating Aizen now? Everything they were all fighting for had been consumed and she was all that was left. She sobbed and that sobbing got the attention of Shiro.

The white monster turned to her his face caked in the blood of her friends. The hair that had been Ichigos had been dyed red leaving no trace of Ichigo behind. They'd known long ago that he'd gone completely hollow. Everyone had cried at his loss. Then Aizen had arrived and the possibility that he could appear had been forgotten, now they were paying for it. Shrio stalked towards her his twisted yellow eyes staring into her soul, hungry and with no compassion at all.

When he was in front of her he didn't stop at all, he only slowed his movements. Crouching slowly he leaned forwards towards her shoulder. She caught his eye for an instant and his mask pulled into a maniacal grin before he bit down. She screamed until her voice failed her as the hollow began eating. When she couldn't scream she began to cry and that crying is what awoke someone who'd been sleeping for a long time. Orihime looked up when she heard that voice. The voice of the man she'd fallen for so long ago. The voice that belong to someone so kind and selfless. A voice she was happy to hear before she died, even if it was at his hands.

"Orihime?" Tears poured out from the mask, from the brown eyes of Ichigo, "What have-"

"K..Kuro…saki…kun," Orihimes weak gurgled voice cut over him, tears falling down her blood covered face. She smiled as her last words escaped her, "I…want…to…say…something…before…I…go…..I…love…you...kuros…kun"

The smile faded as Orihimes soul was absorbed into Ichigos hollow body. Tears continued to fall from the mask as Ichigo wept over all those that he'd eaten. How could he? He'd failed to protect everyone. He could feel them all now. They were all fading as the enemy overwhelmed them. He clutched Orihimes cold body before laying it down on the floor. As he crouched over the limp form of her body a hand came down on his shoulder. He knew who it was. Even if he had been unconscious he could vividly see what his hollow had been doing. It was the woman he'd meet before coming here, what was her name? Chie! That was it, her name was Chie.

"Shiro?" A shaken airy voice whispered.

"I'm not him." Ichigo said turning Chie. Her eyes were filled with regret but there was something else that was different. Her appearance had changed. She was no longer covered in scales, nor did she have a tail or a pair of wings. In fact most of her mask was gone. She had become an Arrancar. A piece of white bone clung to the side of her face framing her eyes as it swept back into a horn that used to be there. She was wearing a torn white outfit that barely covered her torso and hips but was enough to preserve her dignity. Not that it was the first thing on her mind.

"I-I-I can't believe I did that." She cried as tears formed in her no longer sparkling silver eyes.

"We both didn't," Ichigo said as he got up, giving her a comforting hug. "I think, we should give them a proper burial."

"Yes. I'm so sorry, they were your friends and family and I helped kill them. I-" Ichigo cut her off, he knew it wasn't her fault. They'd been mindless but he could feel it now, he too was becoming an Arrancar. Gently his push her always so she wouldn't be crushed by his spiritual pressure that was rapidly changing his body. As it did so Ichigo paid a visit to his mindscape.

'You got anything to say for yourself, Shiro?' Ichigo yelled at the white hollow that was currently pinned down by Zangetsu.

-I..was a mindless beast. You have to undersand. But I advise you move.- The hollows voice was different. No longer was it the sound of two but now the sound of one and it sounded very sincere.

'What do you mean stand back?' Ichigo asked as the hollow began to glow faintly.

-I'm evolving remember? That means a resurrection is coming.- Suddenly Zangetsu jumped of the hollow as a white light enveloped Shiro. Inside the light Ichigo and Zangetsu could see two figures forming. When the light cleared they recognised the form of Shiro who had long white hair with a black horn from part of his mask attached to it. He was still wearing his white shihakusho but on his hip was an empty black sheath.

The other figure looked similar to Tensa Zangetsu. There were black furry cuffs on the long white rope which he wore. Short white hair fell to its shoulders as clawed hands swept through it. His eyes stared at Ichigo and Zangetsu in a curious manner, as if he hadn't expected them to be there. The eyes were black with white irises and had a twinkle to them just like Tensa's.

-I am Luna Nueva *, your hollow resurrection. As unexpected as you may be, my power is yours should you ever need it. You need only say "Glare, Luna Nueva! To use me.- The young voice called to him.

Man I guess this was a pretty nasty chapter. Shiro ate everyone, can't believe I wrote that. Well I can but still…

I had to get some help from this book 'Beyond The Shadows' or was it the other one… seeing how I have no experience eating people so I hope that part was good or bad in some cases...

I guess some of you might think, how can you make a happy ending from this? But there will be one if it's wanted enough. If no people vote then I'll make an evil ending mwahahaha :D

Thanks for reading

Next time: New Understanding

* Luna Nueva means New moon in Spanish, which is Shingetsu in Japanese and means the same thing. The guy is basically the opposite of Tensa Zangetsu.
