How is it possible that this is becoming popular? I thank all of you for reviewing and actually giving this story a chance! I have a feeling the story is just beginning. I had a bit of writer's block, which shouldn't, hopefully, shock anyone, because lets face it. My writer's block happens basically every single day I try to write. So I have the ending planned, which I think is epic and how I end it. A little teaser for you, A LOT of people die and it's very emotional. Without further ado here is the next chapter of Kurosaki Kidnapping.

Disclaimer: I no own Bleach, but I am filing out the papers to get it.


Kurosaki Kidnapping

Chapter 7

The Monster Within

Tami was starting to get pissed at her training pupil. He had been standing in the same position for a while now, not moving. He hadn't even said a word. It doesn't take someone this long to seal their reiatsu. So what if Ichigo had a ginormous amount, he should have sealed it by now. Tami had a short temper, but tried not to show it. Gin had entrusted her into training the one person he was interested in and she was not going to let him down.

"It shouldn't take you this long Shinigami!" She said loudly letting her anger getting the best of her. She noticed he didn't flinch and that was weird. Usually people flinched at how loud her voice was and she hadn't even known Ichigo this long, but he should have flinched. He should have because he looked deep in sealing his reiatsu. She walked over to him and saw his eyes were shut tightly and saw his face twitch. "Hey," she started a bit worried. "Shinigami you okay?" She asked concerned.

As she stared at him for a response, but then a gush of blood exploded from his shoulder and she stepped back in surprise. Ichigo's body fell backwards and Tami watched as his body hit the ground, back first. She immediately knew something was wrong and she ran to his side. She touch his shoulder that had been cut and examined it. She suddenly felt a pull and she gasped for breath. Her body fell over Ichigo's and her eyes closed. She felt herself falling and falling into nothing but darkness. Her eyes fluttered open in hopes of seeing the training room she was in, but came to into a world she had never seen before. The new world she drifted in was surrounded by water and the scenery -other than the water- held high, tall skyscrapers. She looked around and was surprised she was still breathing, considering she was in water.

'Where the hell am I?' She asked herself. A clashing of swords were the only answer she got and she followed them. The scene she came upon was somewhat amusing. Her pupil, Ichigo, was fighting another. But what struck her as weird was the fact that this certain man, or whatever he was, stood as tall as Ichigo and was just a reverse version of him. 'A bleached Ichigo,' she thought of. The men both stood across from one another backs turned towards her, not even noticing she was there. Except until the white counterpart glanced her way.

"Well King, it seems you have some company," the white version of Ichigo spoke his voice echoing, vibrating off the buildings. He turned his head around to look at Tami. Her eyes widened as she looked at his eyes. The scalera's were pure black and the iris' were yellow.

'A Hollow Ichigo, who would've thought,' Tami quickly noted. The Hollow noticed quickly that she had figured it out.

"Well it seems your tutor isn't as dumb as I thought she was. Granted she's an Arrancar."

"Leave her be, Hollow," Ichigo spat. The Hollow turned back to his 'King.' "You will leave her alone Hollow, this is between you and me."

"I guess you're right. A fight for dominance, I love it. But you want to know what I love the most?" Ichigo raised an eyebrow. "The fact that you have surrounded yourself in so much despair that you whole world has flooded! You only care about you insignificant little brats of sisters! They're not strong, why waste your time on them? They aren't worth it."

"That's something you will never understand Hollow. Because flat out, you do not have feelings."

"I beg to differ Shinigami. Lots of Hollows have feelings, emotions, whatever. He on the other hand has had them since day one," Tami intervened.

"How would you know that?"

"He seems to have been here a while and could only be born from you to look like you. Some Hollows can't deal with the fact that they have emotions. He being one of them." Ichigo and Tami stared at the Hollow who hasn't even said anything. "Am I right Hollow of Ichigo?" Ichigo's Hollow growled with anger.

"And what if I am?"

"Admit it. All Hollows have feelings. The feeling of emptiness that we have is because we don't want to feel our pain. Only he ones that embrace them can become stronger."

"That's a load of bull."

"Oh," she stopped and looked him dead in the eyes. "Is it? Or is it because you can't or won't admit it. You fight the Shinigami here because your pain is something you wish to rid of." The Hollow scowled. "Admit it Hollow."

"He's weak he doesn't know how to control my power let alone Zangetsu's."

"Then teach him."

"Never."

"Then how will you ever know if he's weak or not?"

"I would just like to clarify he is here listening to you," Ichigo budded in.

"Shut up and go seal you reiatsu." Ichigo scowled, but turned away and focused. Tami pulled her attention back to Ichigo's Hollow. "As I was saying, how do you know if he's weak or not?"

"I've seen him he is the most useless thing. He only uses his power to protect and defend. He doesn't use it for other purposes."

"That is what makes him strong. That is will and if you and your zanpaktou both teach him, he'll get stronger."

"It doesn't benefit me."

"I'll cut you a deal. You help me train him and I'll... Hmmm what'll I do..."

"You could let take over Kings body and go on a killing spree." The Hollow suggested.

"Hell no. How bout you and him get to kill Aizen?"

"We both know that's going to happen anyway. Unless you can find a way to split us apart then I'm all ears."

"I think I'll be able to do that, but you have to train him."

"What do you mean you know a way?"

"I have my ways."

"Fine. I'll train the damn weakling."

"Aw Hollow you're so nice."

"Fuck you woman I just met."

"It's Mitsu Tami." With the mess sorted out the inner world suddenly started to shake. "What the hell is going on?"

"King sealed his reiatsu. Seems he's not as useless as I thought."

"As I said." The shaking stopped and Tami sighed. Ichigo appeared out of nowhere and spoke, "So... Whats going on?"

"Nothing, your Hollow will train you in the way of his powers. But that'll have to wait 'cause right now I get to enjoy kicking your ass." Tami smiled and put both index finger from each hand and pointed to her cheeks.

"Great just what I need. Okay back to a training session of pain." He closed his eyes and the insides of his eyes were black, but then suddenly turned white and when he opened them he was laying on the training room ground staring up at the ceiling. He felt a weight on his chest and when he looked up he saw it was Tami. Her eyes were closed, then opened to reveal bright red eyes.

"Ugh," she groaned. She picked her head up and met eye to eye with Ichigo brown clashed with red. They both stared at each other and they looked away blushing.

"Well," Ichigo coughed. "We should um, train." He got up and helped Tami up.

"Yeah, okay." As Ichigo stood and smelled the air he felt different. His head felt clearer his senses more open. As he closed his eyes he saw balls of blue all over the place, but they were massive and not just balls embers of blue fire. With his eyes still shut he looked over at Tami. He saw her outline in his dark vision and her body coursed with these blue embers.

"That's, different." Tami seemed to notice what he was thinking of.

"Yeah it's weird but you'll get used to it. Okay lets start with your newly improved senses."
