Chapter 9: Revelations

11:00 A.M

The bell signaling lunch resonated through the clean hallways of Karakura High School. Students poured out of the classrooms, running and laughing. On the roof, Mizuiro, Keigo, Uryu and Chad casually began to eat their lunches.

Sitting across from each other, they all sat in awkward silence.

"Hey..." Tatsuki Arisawa walked onto the roof, her long fringed hair swaying behind her.

"Oh hey... what's up Tatsuki?" Chad casually asked.

"Did Orihime come to school today?" Her brown eyes filled with concern and her face looked flushed.

They all just stared at her, shaking their heads.

"I'm starting to get really worried. Two nights ago I went to her apartment but she wasn't there. And this morning I stopped by to see her but she had already left? I'm really worried about her. The other day she had bruises all over her-"

"Haha, I heard she had a b-o-y-f-r-i-e-n-d! And that he was really abusive too-" Keigo was punched in the nose by a very irritated Tatsuki.

"Shut your mouth Keigo! Over my dead body would Orihime have an abusive boyfriend..." Tatsuki shrieked at him. Her veins bulged slightly from her forehead.

She was worried enough for her friend; she didn't need this idiot scaring her even more.

All the while, Uryu was deep in thought. He pushed his thin glasses up the bridge of his nose and looked up at Chad.

"Now that you mention it, Chad said he went over to Ichigo's house two days ago too... but he was gone as well. His father said he was going over to Orihime's, but never came back."

...

"WHAT? I'm going to kill Ichigo if he did anything to Orihime!" Tatsuki seethed. Her face grew bright red as her anger ensued.

The group of boys cowered in fear at the raging champion fighter.

Their fear quickly dissapated after the roof door swung open, revealing two teenagers, holding hands.

Everyone's mouths dropped in shock as Orihime and Ichigo slowly made their way towards the group. Ichigo's arm wrapped around her small waist as he pulled Orihime closer to him. Her scarred arm pressed into his side, making her cry out in pain.

"Ouch!" She said, rubbing her arm.

"Orihime, you ok? I'm sorry-" Ichigo was pushed away by an intruding Tatsuki.

"Hey Orihime! Where the hell have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere! And why the fuck are you with Ichigo all of a sudden-" Tatsuki's words pressed down on Orihime.

"Oh I was-" Orihime began to ramble only to be cut off again.

"And are you ok? You never told me what happened to you and why you had those bruises all over you!" Tatsuki said impatiently. She turned over a gave Ichigo a death glare.

"That was because-" Orihime tried to lie.

"Orihime. Why are you with Ichigo? He's not your boyfriend, is he?" Keigo asked from the ground.

"I-Ichigo and I were-" Orihime silently tried to say. Orihime's cheeks turned bright pink as she realized that people from below were beginning to wonder about the commotion on the roof. Orihime let her hair fall over her face in shame...

"You know what? You and me have to have a very important talk, Orihime. Just because you're 17 doesn't mean that you can-" Tatsuki reprimanded.

"Damn, Tatsuki. Will you let her talk?" Ichigo snapped with a deep scowl on his face.

"What did you say, punk?" Tatsuki threatened. She spun around and seized him, taking his shirt into her fists. One fist raised in the air, ready to punch him straight in the jaw...

-THUMP-

"Tatsuki... that's enough!" Orihime said in a serious tone. Too serious...

Her eyes glowed with a golden hue.

Uryu's head whipped up as he stared at Orihime. He could feel something in her reiastu. Something dark. But he could barely feel it.

Out of all his friends, he was extremely sensitive to other's reiatsu. He looked at everyone's faces, to see if they could sense the danger eminating from Orihime.

But everybody appeared to be unfazed.

"I won't let you hurt him... go ahead and try and you'll see what will happen..." Orihime's menacing tone seemed all too wrong. Like those words should never come out of her mouth.

Tatsuki gaped back at her friend, the friend she couldn't even recognize.

Everybody in the room was apalled to hear her lips let these words escape and reach this to her best friend, including Ichigo.

Ichigo snatched his shirt away from Tatsuki's fists, who was now unable to move. He pushed Tatsuki's hands away from him and took a hold of Orihime's shoulders.

He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Orihime... what are you doing? It's not a big deal, she was just kidding. This is Tatsuki we're talking about... calm down..."

Orihime's eyes returned back to their natural grey and she smiled. "Oh y-yeah. S-sorry Tatsuki, I just get pretty defensive sometimes..." She apologized innocently.

Uryu's gaze hardened. 'What the hell...'

"Yeah, and why would you be defensive?" Tatsuki narrowed her eyes in speculation.

"B-because, Ichigo's my-"

Before Orihime could finish her sentence again, the roof door swung open again, this time revealing a petite girl with short black hair. Her indigo eyes scanned the roof as she crossed her arms.

Everybody's attention focused on the beautiful shinigami dressed in a school uniform.

"Rukia." Ichigo breathed. Wind blew across the sky, signaling her arrival. The sun beat down on the group, bringing a sense of cheer.

She smirked. "Hey Ichigo, long time no see."

Ichigo ran past Orihime and picked up Rukia's small frame in a tight squeeze. Rukia punched him upside the head as he gently put her down.

"You idiot! My panties will show!" She teased.

"That was sort of the plan..." He teased back. Orihime couldn't help but stare at them, how sincerely happy Ichigo seemed by her side.

Ichigo's face immeadiately brightened at the sight of his best friend, and so did hers. Why did this make Orihime so sad... No.

Why was she so envious of this relationship she had with him? Never had she felt this way towards Rukia... Orihime's scars began to throb as her pulse went up.

She lightly placed her hand over her sleeve, biting her lip.

Uryu and Chad greeted Rukia, both giving her warm hugs. Keigo tried to tackle the small girl, but was stopped by Ichigo. And Mizuiro gave her a small wave.

Tatsuki called back Orihime's attention.

"Earth to Orihime! I swear... Ichigo's your...?" She prodded at the subject.

Orihime swallowed her anxious feelings and turned back to Tatsuki. "He's my... friend. You know I'm protective of them!" She gave a fake smile to try and covince Tatsuki.

Tatsuki rolled her eyes, a sign of her understanding.

The rough girl made her way over to Rukia and gave her a bright smile. "Hey, Rukia. How've you been?" Tatsuki asked her.

"I've been great. I'm here for some business really, but things have been pretty chill lately over in the Soul Society..." She replied.

Everybody continued to hae a warm reunion with Rukia, while Orihime stood against the railing.

Orihime still held onto her scars. As she lowered her head, hair fell over her changing eyes.

'Why the hell is she here? Look at the way she looks at him. And he looks at her the exact same way! I have to do something-' Orihime thought.

"Orihime..." Rukia called out to her. Orihime's head snapped up, with her eyes back to normal. She tried to be happy for her friend, despite what she was feeling. That was the kind of person she was.

"Rukia! I'm so happy to see you!" Orihime cried out cheerfully.

'Liar.'

"I'm happy to see you too. But I need to talk to you about something important... and I have to ask Ichigo something as well." She told Orihime in a hushed voice. This caught Orihime's attention.

"Really? What is it?" Orihime asked her.

Just as Rukia was about to tell her, Mizuiro yelled out. "Ichigo! Man, are you ok?"

Both Rukia and Orihime turned around to look at Ichigo being being held up by Chad. Tatsuki and Uryu held his arms up, to keep him from falling to the ground.

Ichigo held his head with one hand. "Damn... my head is killing me..." He said out loud.

"Ichigo!" Orihime called out. She ran to his side and helped him up.

His skin looked pale and Ichigo kept closing his eyes in pain. "Fuck... it's so bright in here..."

"I think you're having a migraine, Ichigo. You should go to the nurse." Uryu suggested. But Ichigo knew better. This wasn't a migraine. It was him. He was doing something to him on the inside.

'Damn it...' Ichigo's brown eyes stared at Orihime, who had a concerned look on her face.

'She can't be near me right now...' Ichigo told himself.

Orihime tried to help him up. "Ichigo, I'll take you-"

"No. That's fine. I can manage..." Ichigo tried to walk but stumbled and nearly fell over again.

Uryu reached out and caught him by the arm.

"Gah. Damn it..." Sweat warmed up his face. A slicing pain intensified in Ichigo's head. He couldn't even stand up straight, the pain was making him succumb to the hard cement floor.

'What... is he trying to do to me...' Ichigo asked himself. Ichigo fell down to his knees, worrying Orihime even more.

"Ichigo, let me help you, please." Orihime pleaded. She tried to help him back up, but he just pushed her away.

"No. I don't need your help!" Ichigo snapped at her. He ran out off the roof, stumbling into the walls on his way.

"Ichigo!" Orihime called after him.

Just as she was about to chase after him, Rukia placed her hand on Orihime's shoulder. Orihime turned to look at her.

"It's ok, Orihime. I'll go..." She said. Rukia's eyes were commanding. Like she knew. Or didn't want Orihime near him. But why?

Before Orihime could object, Rukia was already after him. Her small body disappeared out the doorway.

Orihime looked down at the cement floor and clenched her fists. It didn't make any sense to her.

'Why would he do that? Why didn't he let me help him?' Orihime asked herself. 'He told me we'd get through everything together...'

Orihime contined to stare at the door in concern.

"Geez, I hope Ichigo's ok. Man, I've never seen him get such a big headache." Keigo said.

"Keigo, you've never seen him get a headache." Mizuiro blatantly told him.

The group of friends began to slowly disband. Keigo and Mizuiro left the roof, with Tatsuki and Chad following suit.

"Orihime..." Uryu called out to her. His lean figure stood near the door, watching her.

"Huh? What is it, Uryu?" She asked innocently. Her large eyes watched him back... but Uryu felt their deciet. He felt he could no longer trust those innocent eyes.

He gave her a cold glare, one that made Orihime feel uncomfortable.

Neither of them said a word. His look said it all.

"You don't fool me, Orihime..." He icily spoke through his teeth.

He pushed his glasses up his nose again and strided out the room.

Orihime let out the breath she had been holding and relaxed. "What was that?" She asked herself in a low voice.

Things weren't quite what she hoped they would be.

Meanwhile...

Ichigo walked in torture down the stairs, trying to reach the nurse, until he could no longer move. He dropped down onto one knee, holding his head with his hands.

He couldn't hear.

He couldn't speak.

He couldn't see.

"D-damn it..." He said through is teeth. Sweat rolled profusely down his face as the pain continued to intensify.

It felt like someone was pushing a knife into his head slowly, and pulling it across it head, splitting it in two.

The pain was so familiar. But this was much worse than before. He knew it had to be his hollow. After a day without him, he comes back, trying to give him the worst pain in his life.

'But why? Why does it hurt so much?' Tears formed in the the corners of his brown eyes as he held onto his head. The pain was agonizing, so much that Ichigo just wanted to pull out all of his hair.

His grip tightened on his orange hair, letting a few strands fly down to the ground.

Ichigo struggled to breathe. Every little moment made it so much worse.

"Ichigo!" Rukia called out. Ichigo's blurry vision could make out her figure stopping beside him and holding him, trying to help him up.

Then the pain began to die down suddenly. It was so abrupt that it left Ichigo in shock. He panted as he tried to catch his breath. Ichigo couldn't even lift himself off the stairs, he was that weak.

She grabbed onto his muscular torso, holding him in her arms. "Ichigo, what's wrong with you?" She yelled concerned.

"Ichigo... Ichigo! Ichigo, what's the matter-" Rukia yelled, then Ichigo held a finger up to her lips. Rukia waited to hear what he had to say.

"Stop fucking yelling, Rukia..." He told her. He smirked at her, panting.

Rukia smiled. She rolled him over to his side, so he could sit himself off. Ichigo propped himslef up on the staircase, using his ebow for leverage.

"Ichigo, what the hell? Does your head hurt that much?" She placed one hand gently on his forehead and held him close.

Her comforting hand felt cool to his warm skin. Ichigo placed his hand on top of hers and opened his eyes to look into hers.

"Yeah, well... it sorta stopped already." Ichigo told her.

"What do you mean by that, you idiot?" She asked him with an irritated look.

"I don't know why, but it suddenly just began to hurt, and I don't know why..." Ichigo told his good friend.

He ran his fingers through his orange messy hair, trying to soothe his faint throbbing head. "Some things have been happening lately; things I can't tell you about until I deal with them-"

"Does it have to do with Orihime?" Rukia suddenly asked with a serious tone that surprised Ichigo. She could tell he'd become nervous.

Rukia stared at him from the corner of her eyes.

"Ichigo, you fool..." She chuckled. Her small chuckle went away, leaving tension in the air.

The two of them stayed on the staircase for a while. Rukia leaned on Ichigo's shoulder, making him uncomfortable.

"I need to ask you something Ichigo... something important." She whispered. It was barely audible so Ichigo had to strain his ears to hear her. He watched her place her hands in her lap and clasp them together.

"Sure... ask me anything." Ichigo wondered what could be so important. Anxiety grew close on him, lingering over his every thought.

Rukia took a deep breath, inhaling the clean air around them. She quickly licked her lips and spoke.

"Ichigo, what's going on... with Orihime?" She asked hesistantly. Rukia was walking on glass. Ichigo gave her a perplexed look as her furrowed his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" He asked in confusion.

"The Soul Society detected something strange. An anomaly we can't explain... we detected a hollowfied reaitsu eminating from one focal point." Rukia continued to explain.

"M-my hollow...?" Ichigo asked in fear. Rukia looked at him with sorrow. It pained her to say these words, because even she couldn't believe this. Not only was it her friend, but it was impossible for a human to develop a hollow.

"Something is wrong with her. The Soul Society believes that... we believe she may have... a hollow."

Meanwhile...

It was dark. Too dark... the kind of dark your fears are manifested from. The tall skyscrapers were crumbling in anger. The sky was crying tears of blood. All the while, a man with yellow eyes destroyed everything around him.

"DAMN! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He screamed as his very presence caused another building to collapse. Sweat fell down his white complexion as he thought of her... his hime.

I love you.

Those were the words Ichigo Kurosaki said to her, just as he was about to kill him off. Just as he was about to have his delicious freedom. He was going to then kill her... and take her soul. But he had to say those words.

"That damn Ichigo... ruining my plans. Once he said those words, I was surpressed by his unconcious resolve to protect her. Although he wanted our Hime to kill him, he secretly wanted to be with her. That was his fucking resolve. The resolve to ruin me!" He screeched.

His voice echoed through the chaotic inner world.

His spiritual pressure increased, shattering the glass from another building, causing a shower of sharp glass. The hollow paid no attention to the large window pane freefalling towards him.

Just as he was about to be crushed by the glass, he flew out of the way effortlessly, landing on the side of another building.

"Ichigo... I will kill you for taking her from me. The queen, I felt her presence when she kissed you... and that can only mean one thing..." He began to laugh hysterically, with burning yellow eyes destroying everything they saw.

"Hollow... what are you doing?" A deep authoritive voice sounded behind him.

"Huh?" The hollow turned around to see Zangetsu, standing there.

"I asked you what you are doing?" Zangetsu's eyes flitted around his home, to see the crumbling buildings and bloody ocean. It was a disaster.

The hollow smirked in his direction. "Tch, isn't it obvious? I'm venting out all of my anger... are you scared that I'll just destroy him from in here? That's not possibe and you know that." He mocked.

"You are causing him great pain... stop." Zangetsu commanded.

"I don't give a fuck!" The demonic man hollered back, throwing his fists in fury.

Zangetsu said nothing. The two souls stared each other down amidst all the chaos, watching each other carefully.

Then Zangetsu spoke. "Then I guess you will merge with me once more... to prevent you from hurting him furthur."

The zanpakutou closed his eyes, trying to merge with the hollow and overcome the hollow's soul. But nothing happened. All the hollow did was smile.

"W-what... how are you still...?" Zangetsu began to stutter in fear. He couldn't merge with him anymore... what did this mean?

"It means... I no longer am a part of you. You are a part of me... so shut the fuck up."

Zangetsu began to deteriorate, wisps of his black body floating and disappearing into the hollow's body.

"Why are you doing this...? "

"Because he took something that belonged to me..."

"She never belonged to you-"

"YES THEY DO!" He sudden screams silenced Zangetsu. Spiritual pressure flowed through every part of his body, making the inner world shake.

"They?" Zangetsu whispered out to him. His golden eyes gazed at Zangetsu, threatening him.

"They belong to me... because she's carrying my son."

Zangetsu continued to fade away into nothing, only his upper body remaining. The crumbling skyscrapers began to fall apart slower. Zangetsu knew that leaving the hollow, alone, would cause the end of his shinigami. The hollow punched an explosive hole into a wall.

"Now... if I kill her, I kill my son. Now I can't have to wait... and I l-love my Hime. I need her with me. I can't do anything about this shit until my son is born!"

Zangetsus stoic expression continued to stare at the pitiful hollow as he fell to the ground with bloody tears falling down his face, screaming at the top of his lungs. Zangetsu had disappeared entirely.

Just when it seemed things couldn't get darker, the hollow began to calm himself in a chilling composure.

"My son... my Hime. I want them both with me. Nobody- not a fucking shinigami, especially not the King, will keep me from them."

THIS IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE COMPLICATED. I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS HOLE I'M DIGGING. DAMN. BUT YEAH, HOPE YOU LIKED IT. AND SHOUTOUT TO HIMELOVE22, FOR GIVING ME THAT IDEA TO SHOW HOLLOW ICHIGO'S POINT OF VIEW. NOW I AM FUCKED BECAUSE OF THIS TWISTED PLOT. TRUTHFULLY, I PLANNED TO END THIS STORY A LONG TIME AGO. HAVE ORIHIME KILL ICHIGO AND GO INSANE... BUT I GUESS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN LOL. SO YEAH, HOPE YOU LIKED IT. I DID. REVIEW!

So to clarify: Hollow Ichigo is on a rampage in Ichigo's inner world. He can't do anything to take his woman because he doesn't want to hurt Orihime, thus hurting his child. (aA this point, Hollow Ichigo wants his kid and his woman) He is also pissed off because he has lost some control because Ichigo's new resolve to protect Orihime. So Zangetsu shows up and questions the hollow why he is doing this and he tells him that Orihime is pregnant and Zangetsu becomes a part of hollow ichigo, leaving him to be the only power left. Rukia goes and gives Ichigo the clue about orihime's hollow after he suffers a huge migraine due to Hollow Ichigo's rampage. Also, Orihime is slowly starting to fuse with her hollow as her intentions become confused. (She wants to be nice but to get what she wants she needs to be mean!) And Uryu is sensing something within Orihime... something evil. So he doesn't trust her. REVIEW!
