Shinigami's case
hello : Zanpaktou
Hello: themselves
Ichigo's case
hello : Zangetsu
Hello: Ichigo
H ello: Hollow Ichigo
Well, right now, apparently this fanfic is before the kidnap of Inoue Orihime and the winter war. But Kurosaki Ichigo is the new captain of the 14th unit ( unlike the other units they go to the human world more frequently and once they takes up a mission they will travel around like a human to take care of hollows while the other units go straight back to soul society after their mission. They do return to Soul Society but quite seldom. They do not have rules from Soul society mostly because the rules in Soul Society can only be applied on Shinigamis but as the 14th unit consists of humans too. New rules will only be made once a new central 46 is made. The 14th unit is an independent unit and only relies on itself for sources unless necessary. Because of that the 14th unit is not directly under Yamamoto Genryuusai or the Central 46. They have their own research unit run by Urahara Kisuke and its own medical unit run by Inoue Orihime.) Kuchiki Rukia has became 14th unit's vice-captain. While Abarai Renji will remain as the vice-captain of the 6th unit.
Kurosaki Ichigo had successfully taken control of his Hollow with the help of the Visoreds.
Well... I would like to warn you for: 1) Unnecessary ramblings from me in the story. I've been thinking about it and seriously, I tend to go on and on on a subject.
2)Sucky vocabulary and grammar. English was never my best subject. Neither is Chinese. My best is History and Maths but we cannot communicate in that language (subject), can we?
3)Sucky ending. I was never good at endings.
Chapter 7
They are in the room. No one would believe the clean, cool and bright room used to be an abandoned room in the house. Of course there had to be some major changes. For example, they fitted in the lights, dusted the room, repaint the black walls to blue and green, remove all the broken furniture and fix the floor boards. They even remembered to hunt for every single cushions in the whole fuckingly huge house and bought a radio which was settled on the table. And all of that took up at least six hours and it was seriously tiring.
On the cushions (which was on the floor) sat 7 people, which separated themselves into two rows. The real wizards on the right and the Secret Shinigamis on the left. A soft, soothing music was playing in the background and the air conditioner was on. It was meant to be very relaxing. After all, someone is meant to be relax when they meditate. No one meditates while listening to some idiot screaming into a microphone. Well, except for Kenpachi but that guy was as insane as Ichigo's inner hollow for pete's sake!
Harry took a calm breath and concentrated in his inner mind. Was someone's inner mind meant to look like a forest? He hope it did. He certainly did not want anything of him to be different from the rest. Back to the main point, the forest was dark. Not so dark that it was a complete black but dark like the sky at 6 or 7pm in the evening. Usually he would have absolutely no difficulty navigating himself around to a clearing but his inner mind was like maze.
Before starting on his journey, he had remembered to carve out the initials "T.S." on a trunk of a tree. And after a few minutes of walking, the only thing he saw was trees, more trees and the stupid, idiotic marking on the stupid tree. This tells him that all he was doing for the past few minutes was to walk in circles. Harry cursed under his breath. Where the hell was he? No, much more importantly, where the hell was Tankyū-sha?
After a few more minutes, he decided to take a break. He huffed in irritation and sat on a tree root that popped up from the ground. He took a few minutes of silent to observe his surroundings. "Umm... Lets see. I can see grass, trees, more trees and more fucking trees!" Harry said to himself, "Where the hell is Tankyū-sha!"
It was then when Harry caught sight of a small light underneath a tree root. The memory of the last quidditch match rushed into his mind. Suddenly, everything clicked. The last time he met Tankyū-sha was when he crawled underneathe a stupid tree root and turn right down to a door where Tankyū-sha resides in! Once more, he cursed himself for not remembering that...
Hermione looked around at what Professor Urahara calls her "inner mind" or something. Well, for her inner mind, it certainly wasn't much. It was just an image of a library. She couldn't even take a book out to read. It was as if they were super glued on the shelf. She didn't bother to search for Kikuzuki. She had, after all, meditated with Toushiro. She had already found out her inner creatures hiding place. It was just behind the wall of this place. Just that there was no visible doorway to the place. However, at the last day of their training in hogwarts, Hermione came to realise that there was a really special book about healing and its link to the moon and she found it really interesting. It was the only book that could be read. When Hermione had flipped to the last page, the words "Kikuzuki" suddenly shining. And before she knew it, a door suddenly open in the middle of no where. She had been communicating with Kikuzuki anytime possible.
While Hermione was communicating with Kikuzuki with no difficulty at all, Ron was having the hardest time of his life. His inner mind was nothing special. Just a plain of grass and a moon that never changes to a sun. Since there was little hiding spots to hide in, Ron easily found Kanashii Kaze. Hell, he could even spot him a mile or two away. The only thing he was doing was to sit down and stare into oblivion. When Ron had approached the male creature near enough, it said, "You're an idiot you know! Why the hell did you make such a stupid place as your fucking inner mind?" And that was how everything started. Ron still couldn't believe he was having an argument with his own creature about HIS inner mind. It was just simply ridiculous.
Suddenly, the grandfather clock in the room rang. It only rang at 7pm to indicate that it was time for dinner. Sure enough, a few seconds later came Mrs Weasley shrill voice. "Hurry up downstairs! Its time for dinner!"
Grumbling, everyone reopened their eyes. There was silence for the first few minutes before everyone stood up from their cushions. "So," Rukia began, "How was it?"
There was three completely different answers.
"Quite simple and relaxing."
"I can't believe it took me so long just to find it!"
"It was simply irritating."
Urahara guffawed at Ron's answers. "I know. I have argued with my inner creature a few times. Well, not just a few. I lost count at three hundred and nighty-seven times actually."
Ron could only wonder whether he was just joking or was seriously telling the truth.
They made their way downstairs and it was then Harry realised that Ichigo had been quiet ever since they stop meditating. "You okay, Ichigo?" he asked.
"Yeah." came the reply.
Rukia frowned and punched Ichigo on the shoulder. "Tell me the truth..." she said in a warning tone. Usually no one would dare not listen to her, especially Ichigo but he remained quiet and replied in a soft but reassuring voice, "I'm fine."
Rukia narrowed her eyes. She knew him well. Something certainly was wrong but he was not telling it to her. Maybe it has something got to do with said hollow in his inner mind. If so, then she knew better then to be stupid and ask him about such a sensitive subject like that. She left the conversation there.
At night after dinner
It was dark. Everyone around him was sleeping yet he was not. He was thinking. He was thinking about the conversation that he had with his hollow in his inner mind.
"I tell ya, king. I'm fucking irritated by ta fact that thats no freaking action. Lemme out and I'll help you rip everyone's head from their stupid, pathetic bodies."
"Don't you dare. I don't want to help Aizen or Voldemort finish their dirty work for them."
"I don't give a shit for that, king!"
"Shut up!"
"Listen up here, king! You either lemme have control of your body once in awhile and let everyone have their nice pretty head on their shoulders or I rip your control from you and someone would certainly walk in a room filled with headless bodies. I refuse to serve horse under a king who's no fun at all."
"Fine... I'll think about it."
"And you better hurry king... My patience ticking away."
"Shut up."
Ichigo gave a sigh. Why the hell was his life so fucked up? Well, he chose the path of doom anyway. He certainly knew the consequences when he chose to go down the path. He chose it and he'll live with it. There was no need to regret anything. He brought it upon himself to protect everyone he knew and loved. And if said stupid hollow really helped him, then he would certainly not regret it.
Letting another sigh, Ichigo's eyes finally closed and he fell back to sleep.
The next day
The orange-haired boy sat under pouring water, eyes closed.
"So whaddya think bout' it king?"
"Fine. However, your control are limited. You are only in control when I allow it. Nothing more, nothing less."
"Tch. Better then nothing. So when are you letting me get control."
"Certainly not now."
"Tch. Stupid king. One of this days, I certainly would rip you limb by limb."
"Shut up."
Suddenly, the boy's eyes flew open when there was banging on the door. "Hey, stupid strawberry! How long you gonna take in the shower? Are you a fucking prude or something?" came Renji's voice. Ichigo groan. He did not want to hear that idiot's voice the first thing in the morning.
Scowling, Ichigo quickly turned off the water, dried himself and changed. He made his way into the hallway, gave Renji a kick in the shin and ran down the staircase. Once in the kitchen, he settled down to munch on a bowl full of cereal.
"So, I heard that you are going back to Hogwarts?" Sirius asked.
"Of course, Black-san!" Urahara replied, "Its not yet christmas. Besides, Potter-san still has Occlumency!"
"Right. You're leaving tonight then?"
"There's no other night!"
