JOURNEY:

Evolution or Origin

The light is called Negashion Menos use it when they are saving one of their own. Once the light engulfs them it's over. Inside that light is its own impenetrable completely solitary world.

That's what the old man said, Ichigo thought to himself as he felt the ground give way and he slowly left up into the sky.

"Ichigo what's happening," Rukia shouted as she stared at the ground rising below her feet.

"I don't know," Ichigo whispered, "But somehow we have been sucked in by a Negashion,"

"Who," Rukia asked as she made eye contact with her brother below, "Nii-sama…."

Ichigo starred at the stoic captain. Amber eyes locked with gray, an oath was given as well as a threat, bring my sister back alive, Ichigo got the message, he nodded his head and then starred at the black rip above his head, Zangetsu please lend me your strength.

Stupid boy…. Be ready to take it when you need it

Rukia starred at Ichigo a sense of calm appearing on his face as he starred up into the gate that would take them into Hueco Mundo, and she had to suppress a shudder that went through her as she thought, he looks like he's going back home.

Ichigo felt the stir within him, a sensation that usually was followed by HIS voice taunting him, telling him to let him take over, but it was gone now. Ichigo had won the right to rule his body and soul, he had finally merged with his hollow half and now there was only his voice screaming in his head. Ichigo couldn't deny the fact that part of him felt exhilarated, excited like a child seeing his parents come back after a long separation. The void called to him, power coursed through him as his eyes turned a golden black.

"Ichigo," Rukia whispered.

Ichigo turned to look at her and she gasp. His amber eyes gone replaced by those eyes of a hollow, "Don't worry, Rukia I'm still in control, it's only me in here now." Ichigo said with a smirk.

Rukia nodded as the light disappeared and they were thrust into the darkness of the void. Welcome Rukia, welcome to the land of the hollows. A voice spoke into her head, but it echoed in her ears, in here you will find the answers you are looking for, but be careful to insure you truly want to find out. She turned to look at Ichigo to see if he had heard, but he was gone. Rukia spun in panic, there was nothing, nothing around her but cold darkness. She felt fear grip her, but she fought the urge to panic, she forced herself to regain control of her emotions. The darkness moved as if it were alive, it seemed to mock her, hunt her, Rukia could feel as if it wanted her. She was losing control, her heart was beating 10 times its normal rate, she couldn't think, couldn't control this fear, and then strong hands wrapped around her, gripping her in a strong yet gentle embrace.

"I got you Rukia," Ichigo's voice in her ears, the fear instantly vanishing, like the darkness when light is near.

"Where are we," She asked trying desperately to control the shaking in her voice.

"As far as I can tell, Hueco Mundo," Ichigo said as he looked around the barren waste land. He placed Rukia gently back down and they both took in their surroundings, sand, sand, and more sand was all they could see in every direction.

"Where is the one who brought us here?" Rukia asked her hand instinctively moving to Sode no Shirayuki.

"Don't know, but we have to find some kind of shelter," Ichigo said as he set off towards what appeared to be a forest in the distance, "I'll try and contact Nel or Grimm Jow, once we settle down." He said as he used a flash step to quickly cover ground.

"How," Rukia asked in shock.

"Oh ah, Nel kinda," Ichigo stalled his face turning a bit red.

"Nel what," Rukia said an icy chill creeping in her voice.

"It's nothing really, I mean she's a chi, a child," Ichigo said as he tried to increase his speed.

"A child," The ice was gone from her voice, replaced by a heat of rage, "She is not…"

"Oh, look we're here," Ichigo cut off as he quickly started cutting down branches and making a fire.

Rukia glared at Ichigo, as Ichigo starred at the wood he collected trying desperately to have it shield him with his mind. "I have some food," Ichigo said not looking up.

"She is not a child, she was the 3rd Espada," Rukia said her gaze not leaving him.

"Well, it's not like she can keep that form for long," Ichigo said trying to match her gaze with a scowl of his own.

Rukia's eyebrow began to twitch, and Ichigo finally sighed in defeat, "look it's nothing really," he said as he withdrew a bright pink phone with hearts and flowers on it, "She just, she just said she would miss me and wanted away to keep in contact, you know just to talk."

"And was she a child when she said that I-t-s-y-g-o," Rukia said pausing at every syllable in the hollows name for him.

"Look this is not open for discussion," Ichigo shouted trying to sound like he was unafraid, but it didn't work and Rukia just kept glaring at him. "No, she wasn't. But it's nothing, come on she's just a friend."

Rukia rolled her eyes at that remark, "And Orihime never was in love with you either."

"She was in love with me," Ichigo said trying to laugh, but was stopped by the glare from Rukia, "Look I'm in love with you and that's all there is to it," Ichigo said as he stood up pointing his figure at Rukia.

"Well I love you too," Rukia shouted back.

"Well fine," Ichigo said and then fell silent as he realized that was the first time he or Rukia had ever said anything like that to each other.

"Well, fine," Rukia said as she sat down again, "Just as long as you remember." She said with a huff.

Ichigo smiled, "So can I call..." Ichigo paused as Rukia looked at him, "Grimm Jow, can I call Grimm Jow."

"Do as you please strawberry," Rukia said with a smirk.

Ichigo opened the phone and dialed the number. It rang twice, "What the hell do you want," a gruff yet feminine voice came on the other line.

Ichigo was shocked at first, "Ah, this is Kurosaki Ichigo…"

"The Kurosaki family has died, I don't know them anymore," CLICK.

Ichigo starred at the phone, "What happened?" Rukia asked.

"Someone just…" Ichigo's face turned red with anger and dialed the number again, it rang.

"What the hell do you want," the same woman's voice came out again.

"This is Ichigo from the clan Shiba," he said with venom in his voice, "Who the hell is this?"

"This is Halibel," the voice said with equal menus, "What do you want Ichigo."

Ichigo almost chocked from shock, "Oh, sorry Halibel I thought I was calling Grimm Jow."

"You did you woke me up,"

"Oh, is he around," Ichigo continued.

"Yes, he is right beside me, we were sleeping."

Ichigo's face turned bright red again. He felt like he had just walked in on… no he couldn't even think about that, "Oh sorry, I ah, can I talk to him please."

"Grimm Jow does not like to wake up after he has finished mating."

This time Ichigo really did choke, "WHAT THE HELL DO I NEED TO NO THAT FOR!" Ichigo shouted at the line as Rukia giggled softly to herself.

"It is a normal function of life, Ichigo. I'd assume you have already mated with your love?" Ichigo was to stunned for words and the look on Rukia's face showed that she felt the same way.

"That, that is none of your damn business," he and Rukia shouted back at the phone.

"Hmm, Yoruichi did say you were somewhat of a child when it came to things like that. She mentioned that you almost fainted when you say her naked…."

Ichigo quickly shut off the speaker phone and turned away from Rukia's shocked face, "I, I did not." Ichigo quickly said.

"When did you see, Yoruichi naked," Rukia said as she moved closer to Ichigo her hand slowly moving to the hilt of her zanpaktou.

"In, in Soul Society at her secret house, I was laying in bed and talking to her…" Ichigo immediately realized the error of his explanation, "No, no," he said as he backed away from her, "It was when I went to save you and I got hurt she had to, she had to carry me away and well she doesn't wear clothes in cat form," he said as he fell over a log and onto his back, "So a, so when she…" Rukia glared at him.

"How many more women have you seen without their clothes," Rukia said as she slightly unsheathed Sode no Shirayuki.'

"None, none I swear," Ichigo said his hands up in the air, "I'm not a perverted guy like that."

"If you are just going to argue, I will be going back to sleep," Halibel said.

"No, wait, wait," Ichigo shouted at the phone, "I need help. We're lost in Hueco Mundo…"

There was silence on the other line, and then Ichigo heard some soft rustling and then an angry snor, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT YOU STUPID ORANGE HAIRED FREEK," Grimm Jow shouted from the other line, "YOU BETTER HAVE A DAMN GOOD REASON FOR CALLING ME!"

After the 100th time of Ichigo explaining what had happen to the entire Vizard, Grimm Jow, Halibel, and Nel (along with Pesche and DondoChakka which accounted for him having to go over the story again and again) Grimm Jow finally spoke, "And so, what the hell do you want,"

"I want directions," Ichigo shouted.

"Your ass is about 4' under your head," Grimm Jow yelled back.

"I need to find Los Noches. I need to find Gin." Ichigo said.

There was a pause and then Shinji spoke, "Why,"

"I need to find out about, about my hollow and the Demon Blade, Pinyin Si."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh, Ichigo you'll be the death of me," Shinji yawned back, "Grimm Jow I'm going to disconnect my line you should too,"

"WHAT, WAIT," Ichigo shouted.

One by one everyone hung up the phone, disconnecting the party line conversation. Ichigo scratched his head, "I don't hear a dial tone," Ichigo said scratching his head.

PACK, a slipper slapped Ichigo across the face, "That's because I'm still on the line, DICKHEAD" Ichigo turned to see Hiyori glaring at him, her phone still to her ear..

Ichigo couldn't help but feel a little afraid as he starred at Rukia and Hiyori whispering to each other and every second one of the women would glare at him. "What!" Ichigo finally shouted at the two women.

"Why have you been looking at other women naked and not Rukia?" Hiyori shouted at Ichigo.

"I would look at Rukia but she doesn't let me," Ichigo shouted back.

PACK, PACK two slippers hit Ichigo in the face, causing his cheeks to burn red with pain, "DICKHEAD," the two women screamed at the same time.

"Wait, wait it's not like that," Ichigo stammered.

"And, and he has other women's numbers on his phone, women who have feelings for him," Rukia sobbed in her fake school girl's voice.

All though Ichigo knew that Hiyori knew Rukia was playing up her anger and hurt, Ichigo also knew Hiyori didn't need much to deal out punishment to Ichigo, "What!" Hiyori shouted as her right foot connected with his head, "You, you perv!"

"I'm not a PERV…." PACK, SMACK, POW, AHHHHHHH, Hiyori unleashed a swarm of slipper based attacks on Ichigo's face. When she was finally finished the imprint of Hiyori's slipper could be seen on every inch of the young shinigamis face.

"Now that, that's done, Rukia why are you guys here?" Hiyori said as she sat down and started digging her ear.

"I don't quite know?" Rukia admitted causing Hiyori to glare at Ichigo.

"Wait, wait it's not like I just came here," Ichigo screamed in protest attempting to stop another onslaught of slipper slaps, "A, a Negashion just kinda sucked us up."

"Who sent it," Hiyori asked a bit concerned.

"We don't know," Rukia chimed in, "There was no one waiting for us…"

Hiyori was about to speak when she noticed Ichigo eyes, golden black, "Ichigo what's up with your eyes?"

"I don't know," he admitted, "They just turned pretty much right after the Negashion took hold of me. Why?"

SMACK, a slipper to Ichigo's face, "Dickhead I didn't say you could ask questions," Hiyori said, "Why are you here."

"I already told you," Ichigo shouted.

"But why," Hiyori countered, "Why do you need to know?"

"Something Aizen told me," Ichigo said as he scratched his head. The three of them sat in silence after that, lessening to the crackling wood in the fire.

"Fine, DICKHEAD," Hiyori said with a yawn. "Tomorrow we start searching on where to search." She said as she very unceremoniously scratched her butt, "I'm going to sleep."

Ichigo yawned, "Should one of us keep watch,"

"I don't think that will be necessary," Hiyori said as she curled up, "our hollow reiatsu should be enough to keep anyone away." And with that she fell asleep. Ichigo starred at her and then his eyes fell as well, leaving Rukia to her thoughts. What Aizen said, her mind drifted back in time.

Aizen was dragging her by the reiatsu sealer around her neck and speaking to Ichigo:

Did you know there are four ways for a shinigami to fight, Zanjutus, Hakudo, Hohou, Kidou those are the four ways to fight. However all of those have a limit to their strength. Whichever one you master your shinigami soul's strength will hit a wall. That's where the growth stops. In other words, that is the Shinigami's limit. Then isn't there away to break through it and surpass all of the limits to your abilities?

There is.

There is just one way.

That is…

The transformation of a Shinigami into a Hollow, a hybrid….

The only way to break the barrier that separates the two is the Hougyoku….

Rukia's eyes shot open and she starred at Ichigo, the only way to create a hybrid is the Hougyoku, the thought bounced around in her mind, until she realized why, Ichigo was never affected by the Hougyoku,

A shinigami into a hollow

Break down the walls that separates the two…

Ichigo was born…

Break down the walls that separates the two..

Ichigo was born a hybrid..

The walls that separates the two, The words played around in her mind, picking and poking at her as she starred at Ichigo, Ichigo what are you……

Is he the evolution of your race, or is he the origin of the two? The voice that spoke to Rukia in the void, echoed again within her mind, "The origin of the two," Rukia said to herself.

"Huh, Rukia did you say something," Ichigo said sleepily.

"No, go back to sleep,"

"Fine, come here," he said as he pulled Rukia into him, "I love you," he said as he drifted off to sleep.

But Rukia's mind was frozen, A hybrid, the Hougyoku the only way, but he was born a hybrid…. Kaien's words echoed in Rukia's mind, "Don't worry Rukia I will defiantly win," He was so confident when facing that hollow, Rukia thought, He had that look, like he knew. She felt Ichigo's breath on her neck as he slept, Shiba, clan Shiba Kaien, Kuukaku, Isshin none of them were shocked, Isshin passed the hollow…. A hybrid.

Rukia pulled Ichigo's arms closer to her as she heard cold laughter echo through her mind. The evolution or the origin….

OK I PROMISE I'LL TRY AND GET THE NEXT UPDATE QUICKLY, BUT I LOVE THAT GAME, ANYWAY HOPE YOU LIKE IT, AND HEY HIORYIA CAN GO ANYWARE SHE WANTS TOO YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
