Thanks again for the reviews. Going to try and update sooner now though so you all don't suffer. ;) Sorry for there only be one story today, I was really busy today.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Shiro was stunned to the spot, even though Ichigo had gone away from the hug and was staring at him in relief. The hollow didn't know what to do. His arms were glued to his sides, and he continued to blink rapidly. Ichigo decided to break the silence, "So this is where you ran off to? You could have just said so." Ichigo smiled, but Shiro furrowed his eyebrows.

"This isn't a good thing Ichigo," Shiro stated with seriousness, this made Ichigo stare at him wide eyed, "Yuzuki, is probably one step closer to taking over you now." The very statement of that fact made everyone gasp.

Ichigo shrugged and sat down on the grass, hitting a spot beside him for Shiro. How can you be so calm about it? Reluctantly Shiro sat beside his brother, huffed a sigh. "You won't take this seriously will you?" Ichigo laid back on the grass with a grin. Shiro growled aloud and hit Ichigo's leg, pretty sure that it stunned the legs movements.

Shiro had a satisfied smile on his face when Ichigo hissed in pain. "Dang it Shiro, was that really necessary?" Others stared at the brothers, confused by the niceness around them. Shiro caught one of their eyes, how unlucky for him that it was Byakuya.

"What is it hollow?" He asked his eyes narrowing in distrust. Shiro rolled his eyes and frowned.

"Well what's your problem with me? I haven't attacked anyone... Today." Shiro then scratched the back of his head nervously. He started to remember his little fit about being moved away from Ichigo. He had knocked out at least three of Byakuya's men with his feet.

The captain scowled deeper. One thought went through Ichigo's and Shiro's mind at the same time. I thought his frowns couldn't get any deeper. The sound of a door opening then closing echoed around the group. Shiro was on his feet, reaching for his sword. When grabbed for the familiar spot all he got was air. Dang it!

A servant came over to them, surprised by the sudden outburst of the hollow. Shiro just scowled. Ichigo tugged on Shiro's pants making fall onto his butt. "Gi!" Shiro rubbed his rump. Glaring at his brother Shiro punched his shoulder. Rubbing the offended shoulder Ichigo whispered.

"We're guests in their house. Be respectful." Again Shiro wanted to growl but held it in. Now I know why I fight with my brother all the time. The servant walked to the group, and presented a letter to Byakuya. He took the letter and opened it, cracking the seal. Shiro raised a brow. Something tells me this can't be good.

Setting the letter done Byakuya got up and left, without saying a word. Shiro watched after the captain, being sure he knew what he saw. The seal had a hollow mask as the symbol. Who in soul society has a hollow mask as a seal? Don't they all hate those emotionless things? Then Shiro felt a pang of hurt. But that's what I am aren't I? Shiro felt like crying. He wanted to go hide in the darkest part of Ichigo's mind and talk with Kenzo, his old friend from when he was alive.

Ichigo noticed the hollows sadness, and frowned. "Shiro, what is it?" The hollow turned to the substitute. I can't tell him. Not about how I'm slowly down grading into an emotionless beast. Trying to put a smile back on his face Shiro gave a very small smirk.

"I'll be okay," It was then that he noticed it hadn't fooled him, nor had it fooled the other around them. Shiro's shoulders sunk and he glared at the ground. "Ichigo," Shiro's voice sounded defeated. He was tired of the distrust in their eyes. "I'm going to tell them now, they don't need to be left in the dark about it."

Ichigo nodded, but there was a nagging feeling inside him that was telling him to not let him do it. "Do you all know who I am?" Shiro started, his eyes still very full to the brim with sadness.

"You're Kurosaki's hollow. Do you think we're stupid?" Ishida stated, moving his glasses up making the shine hid his eyes.

"True to that I am his hollow, but I'm also his twin brother." Silence, no one spoke. Renji and Rukia looked at each other with knowing glances. This isn't going to go well. Inoue's eyes were large, and Chad had stiffened so much that he was as hard as a rock. Ishida however was laughing like a maniac.

"Haha! YOU expect US to believe that?" Ishida was holding his sides. Shiro growled like he knew Kenzo shut the Quincy up immediately.

"I expect you to believe me yes, and I want you to just sit and be quiet Quincy. Before I have to cut you down." Shiro's voice went multi-leveled. No more comments came from Ishida. Sighing his content Shiro went on, "My full name is Shiro Kurosaki, I was once alive. Ichigo and I were both killed, but now he and I love off of each others life force, but now that number has multipled like crazy." Ichigo looked at the hollow. That's news to me! Ichigo thought that he was only living off of Shiro's energy. "He has so many transformations that we all live off of each other. One though is worse than the others, and that transformation goes by Yuzuki. He's a power crazed hollow that Zangetsu and I try and keep under wraps from Ichigo. He's the one who caused the white tears earlier, and I fear of what will happen next if I don't get back inside Ichigo's mind."

Shiro could feel the wave of hollow energy coming from Ichigo now. Yuzuki is starting his take over, I must hurry. Getting up quickly Shiro made an effort to leave, but the tug on his pant leg said otherwise. Shiro turned to the girl. "Inoue, let go. I have to get help." A tear fell down her face.

"How can you be so cruel to Kurosaki-kun?" Shiro lifted a brow.

"Excuse me?" Again another tear fell. She lifted her face to him, show just how many tears there were now. They practically covered her face, they streamed down from everywhere.

"How could you lie to Kurosaki-kun, about being his brother?" Shiro felt fury creeping through his veins. That little... Shiro calmed himself and opened his mouth to retort but she yelled out, "Hollows can't be related to humans!" Inoue had hate filling her eyes. Shiro's eyes were hidden to everyone.

Soon enough though a strong reiatsu surrounded them. They all looked at Shiro, who had his hands clenched in a fist. Inoue's tears haulted for a moment, "Have you forgotten your brother? Didn't you still call him your brother, even though he had turned into a hollow? Even though he was about to kill you didn't you still love him as a brother?" Inoue felt more tears coming down her face as, "You're a hypocrite Inoue, I can't believe that you would forget your brother."

Fresher tears ran down her face as she ran out of the garden. "Inoue!" Ishida and Chad yelled running after the girl. The three shinigami who were left glared at Shiro.

Rukia was first to speak up, "Jerk." Then she too went after the orange hairs friend. Renji sighed and didn't say a word as he left. Ichigo didn't look at his brother.

"How could you say that to her? She's-" Shiro grabbed Ichigo's collar and brought him close to his face.

"Ichigo, even you know it's true. Hypocrite's like her just can't handle the truth." Ichigo's eyes narrowed as he got the hollow to release him.

"You know I don't know why I trusted you. For all I know you are lying about everything." Ichigo started his way back to the manor, "Shiro, if that is your real name, do me a favor." Shiro turned to the substitute. "Stay out of my life, and don't talk to me anymore."
