Chapter Thirteen Bill's Capture!
Frita lead the hooded men into the house. "Follow me!" she cried as they ran to Bill's room. When they busted down the door. They found his body lying down with a mod soul next to it. "Damn, he got away! Frita could he have known about us in advance?" asked the first hooded man. "No he couldn't have known, besides it seems that the mod soul on the ground has been inside the body for quite some time." "Then what should we do? If his father gets back early we won't stand a chance if we're fighting his son. There aren't enough of us to battle the both of them."
Meanwhile in the Vizard's hideout Ichigo had finished becoming a hollow and had managed to also defeat his inner hollow. "Well it seems it's your turn Bill." said Shinji as he turned to me, he then smacked me with something and I was placed under the same holds Ichigo was in. "Hacchi double the power of the restraints on him." said Shinji as he turned towards him. "But that could possibly kill him!" Hacchi responded. "Yeah Hacchi's right Shinji." cried Hiyori as she pointed at me. "He's may be able to transform but he still is weak." "That's not true Hiyori he's probably stronger than you." "WHAT!" yelled Hiyori as she stared at Shinji. Shinji just looked at everyone including Ichigo who was panting from his suspended training.
As they were talking I fell down into my inner heart. "OW! That hurt." "What is this place?" I thought as I looked around my inner heart since I was seeing it for the first time. There were trees everywhere and wolves staring from behind the treeline. "What's going on? I thought my inner heart was just pitch black?" "No you idiot you just couldn't see it." "Who's there?" A white wolf walked out of the forest and into the clearing. It then sat down in front of me and smiled at me. "Who are you?" The wolf stared at me and laughed. "ME? I'm your inner heart's keeper. I make sure that when you're sad, angry this world doesn't collapse and let the hollow within you inside. If he does get in you'll lose the ability to become a soul reaper and become a permanent arrancar." "Well I need to defeat my inner hollow." "Really? Well I guess I can let him in here for a bit. Though I should warn you he isn't the one you keep fighting. This hollow is formed from your personality."
Then at that moment a wolf broke from formation in the back. "Heh about time... I've always hated waiting for you to show." He said as he walked up to face me. "You're the hollow?" I asked as I stared at him. The wolf had black fur with white streaks on his head. "Well even though I don't like this..." he said with a sigh followed by a smile. "Let's fight. Oh and to make things fair..." I then saw him open his mouth and howl. The fear I felt made me cringe as I put my hands to my ears only to find the became paws. "You'll have to fight me as an Adjucha." "WHARRRR!" I yelled as I slowly took the form of a black panther a hole opened up in my chest. My mask appeared over my face. It looked like a mix between a wolf's and panther's face. The appearance was that of a wolf's but the canines were from a panther as were the ears. My eyes had shifted from hazel to a greyish yellow. "Well now that you've changed let's fight." The hollow said in it's wolf form.
Shinji and the others were waiting for my transformation into a hollow. "Shinji he's taking too long!" cried Mashiro as she rolled on the ground. "Shinji what happens if he doesn't turn into a hollow?" asked Ichigo as he washed the dishes. "Well I don't know? It's never happened before." All of a sudden a large amount of spiritual pressure flattened everyone to the ground due to their lack of readiness. "What was that?" cried Ichigo as he pulled himself out of the wash basin. "Bill's transformed!" yelled Lanryu from where she was sitting.
When they got over to the barrier Hacchi put up they saw a hollow with a black wolf mask with white stripes going across the eyes. The ears were that of a panthers and so were the claws coming from the hand. The feet were that of a wolf. "Wow! Bill sure seems scary in that form.. even scarier than the form that nearly killed Hiyori and Shinji." Thought Lanryu as she stared at me. "I'm first." said Lisa as she walked into the barrier. I grabbed my zanpakutou from the ground and rush her.
Meanwhile inside my inner heart. I slashed at the hollow with my left paw only to have him turn his shoulder and knock it up. "Ha is that all you got? What can't get used to having to move on all fours?" The wolf cried as he bit down on my right back leg. He then ripped out most of the muscle making the leg useless. "Arg! He's right I'm not used to moving on all fours. I couldn't keep up with him even with my legs being in perfect condition. Now my left back leg is sprained from landing wrong and my right is too damaged to even walk on." "Are you going to surrender?" asked the wolf with a uncharacteristic Cheshire cat grin. "No!" "Well that's admirable but stupid." He then charged a cero in his mouth and fired. As the cero approached I fired my own cero at him. I then collapsed on the ground breathing hard. "That's it I've lost, that was the last of my energy." "That's all you can do my dear Bill?" "Mom, it's not like I can fight him with my zanpakutou, there are things that I can't do." "True nobody can do everything but think about what your father would do when he finds you dead, he'd probably find a way to Hueco Mundo and fight hollows until he drops from exhaustion and is killed." "But what can I do?" "Bill you already know."
"Well it seems that he's lost the will to fight." said the wolf as he turned his back to me and faced the keeper of my inner world. "He's lost, now relinquish his control to me." "The fights not over yet." The wolf just turned slowly and smirked as he saw me clumsily get up. He walked up to me looked into my eyes and smirked. "Now that's the spirit kid!" He yelled as he ran at me and leapt into the air. As he flew at me I placed my front claws into the ground and pulled my back straight up spinning my back legs in a circular pattern with the claws out. He flew right into the kicks and hit the ground in front of me. "You win." He said after failing to stand up. "Just finish me off by eating me."
I just looked at him in pity as I dragged my body to him. "Why should I eat you?" I asked when I got to him. "Because when you do you'll have fulfilled the requirements needed to control my power. Then you'll have truly proven your worth in becoming what you seek to be." I looked at him and an urge came over me. I then began to consume the hollow before me. "Good it's as it should be, this place was crowded enough. At least I'm becoming part of the king instead of the other half." The wolf said as he slowly was incorporated into my body.
I woke up lying on the ground with Lanryu and everyone staring at me. "Bill are you ok?" asked Ichigo as he stared at my hollow mask. "Yeah I'm fine." Shinji then pulled out a mirror and put it in front of my face. "Well you don't really look fine Bill." As I looked into the mirror I saw that my mask had blood all over it staining the black wolf face with the white stripe slashes going through the eyes. "Yeah and the panther ears you had vanished." said Lanryu "Bill that doesn't seem to be the face of your inner hollow." said Shinji as he looked at me. "What you saw earlier was the other half of my soul. Anyway I need to get home now, it seems the mod soul in my body has somehow fallen out."
I then after a short lesson on how to summon the mask shunpoed home. As I walked into my room I saw my body on the floor. "Idiot, what even happened to you?" "Welcome back Master Bill said Frita from behind my back. As I turned to say hello I saw a fist heading to my face and when it hit I blacked out. "That's all it took to take him down?" asked the hooded man as he lifted my body onto his shoulder. "What a disappointment, anyway lets get back to the soul society with the criminal." He said as a Senkaimon opened up and everyone walked in. After they left a man wearing a standard soul reaper outfit with black hair that had silver streaks shunpoed into my room.

Authors Notes
Sorry for the delay readers, I've had a couple of bad days in my life and it seems when I write after a bad day the writing just SUCKS, until now during those days I didn't even have a plot for the chapter.
With that aside can anyone guess if this new person is here to help.
But as always READ AND REVIEW since only YOUR REVIEWS make me keep writing.
