Hello readers. Sorry it is later but this took a while to write and then type up. Between school work and working at home I have little to no time. Please don't hate me. Thank you.

Chapter 2

"So that is your zanpakuto Ichigo?" Asked Urahara.

"Yes. Now I need to go to my inner world to talk to Zangetsu. I need to find out something." Said Ichigo.

"Okay. Take your time." Urahara said.

"You seem relaxed boss. Don't you want to take him to part 3?" Jinta asked

"I trust him and this may not be how I planned but it could work out in the end." Said Urahara. Ichigo sat down and placed his zanpakuto on his knees, almost on instinct. Then he felt a pull and everything went black.

. . . . . . . . . .

"Well, hello there, King. What brings you here?" said Zangetsu with a maniacal smile.

"I can learn swordsmanship from Urahara but he can't teach me how to use your special abilities." said Ichigo.

"What make you think that I have special abilities?" asked Zangetsu.

"Well you are a zanpokuto, so I assume you are more than a sword." said Ichigo.

"Okay you caught me red handed. So why do you want to learn these abilities? Also what if I don't want to tell you?" asked Zangetsu.

"For the first question, I want to learn because it will make me stronger. For the second one you will tell me or I will beat it out of you." stated Ichigo with confidence.

"Fine if you say so King but only because I see great potential in you. First we need to go to Hueco Mundo, so you need to learn your first ever skill, Garganta." said Zangetsu.

"Gargan-what-now?" ask Ichigo confused.

"Garganta it is a passage way to Hueco Mundo similar to Senkaimon that the Soul Reapers use to get to Soul Society."

"Oh, so what do I do now."

"So all you have to do is focus your hollow reiatsu into your finger tips and then point at the air and swing to the right." said Zangetsu.

"Got it."

. . . . . . . . . . .

Ichigo sat up and looked at Urahara "I need to go to Hueco Mundo so that I can learn some skills from Zangetsu."

"Okay but be back in about ten days so you can save Rukia." Urahara said. Ichigo tapped the air in front of him. He heard a tearing sound then the space in front of him tore and the Garganta was formed. Ichigo looked back "Thank you for helping me get back the power to help my friends." Then he was gone. Soon the Garganta closed. Urahara turned around.

"He is an interesting one don't ya say." Asked Urahara.

"Yes we will have to watch him carefully." Came a voice. Soon a black cat walked up to Urahara.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

When Ichigo got to Hueco Mundo he saw a wasteland. He looked around but all he saw were small baron trees and sand as far as the eye could see. "So what now?" asked Ichigo.

"Now king I am going to teach you Hierro."

"Hero? Like super hero?" asked Ichigo.

"NO!" yelled Zangetsu "Sorry king that would be nice to do but this is just a way of using that massive reiatsu of yours to harden your skin." There it was again Ichigo would have to ask why Zangetsu called him King.

"Oh, ok so how does it work?" questioned Ichigo.

"All you have to do is focus your reiatsu into your skin and harden it. Try to do it." Said Zangetsu. Ichigo had a look of concentration on his face. He looked up and said 'ok'. "Now then let's test how strong it is." Zangetsu appeared out of nowhere and thrust his sword at Ichigo.

"What was that for?" asked Ichigo. "And where did you come from?"

"I just materialized myself and to answer your first question I tried to cut you to test the Hierro." Zangetsu said with a smile that made Ichigo shudder. Then he looked down to see nothing, not a single scratch.

He then looked up and asked "What's next?"

"Next is instant regeneration." Said Zangetsu. "What you have to do now is turn off the Hierro and let me cut your hand off." Zangetsu looked disturbingly happy when he said this.

"WHAT! Is there no other way?" asked Ichigo.

"Oh there are other ways. Just not as fun as this way." Zangetsu with his usual sadistic smile.

"I thought that learning Hierro was so people can't cut me." Said Ichigo trying to stall

"Well yes but Hierro is dependent on the user's spirit energy and flat out skill. You have both but there is always going to be someone stronger so we better prepare for it." Said Zangetsu.

"Oh okay." Said Ichigo. "Let's get started." Ichigo then proceeded to cut off his left hand in one swift motion. Blood squirted in every direction. Ichigo cringed as he felt the thick liquid move down his arm "Now what?" He asked.

"Okay now all you have to do is concentrate your Hollow reiatsu into your arm and imagine your hand." Said Zangetsu. Slowly but surely Ichigo's hand started to grow back.

"Good now let's learn one of the less important things…

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Flashback start

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"WAHhhhhhhhhhhhhh" screamed Chad and Orihime.

Yoruichi sweat dropped "That's not gonna work. Matters not how long you train like this. You can't go to Soul Society."

"No way…" said Orihime

"Not only that if you can't find your powers freely, going to Soul Society is suicide. Actually it's not very hard. Just remember what happened when your powers came out and use that to draw out your powers." Said Yoruichi.

"Easy for you to say."

Flashback end

That was what I thought back then. Now I can access my powers without saying the fairy's names. Yoruichi is training us by having me and Chad fight two time a day till we can't go on

"This is tough." I stated, Chad gave a nod.

"Alright it has been 6 days since we have started your training. You both have shone to me that you can fight at 4th seat at best. You are ready."

"Thank you Mr. Yoruichi!" Both Chad and Orihime exclaimed.

"But you will still fight each other periodically." Yoruichi said

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ichigo had just bit into his 200th menos and felt a change similar to the one before, just 3 days ago. Now Ichigo was shrinking. The ground getting closer and closer. 'This feels good' thought Ichigo.

Flashback

Zangetsu, after the learning of shinigami and hollow techniques, Zangetsu told Ichigo that he would have to eat hollows for the remaining time in Heuco Mundo. Ichigo was not too happy but did it anyway. Hollow was an acquired taste.

After Ichigo's first several hundred hollows he was used to the taste and as a bonus he gets a power boost for every hollow he eats. Ichigo felt something inside himself stir. He tore the throat out of another hollow and he started to glow then grow. Ichigo looked down and saw the ground getting farther away from him.

"What is going on?" asked Ichigo.

"You my friend have come to be a Gillian class hollow. There are 4 hollow classes increasing in strength 10 fold. Normal, Gillian, adjucha, and vasto lorde. There are only 20 or less vasto lords in all of Hueco Mundo." Answered Zangetsu.

"Oh okay thanks."

Flashback end.

"Is King big and strong now?" asked Zangetsu in Ichigo's mind

'Am I strong enough is the question?' Said Ichigo.

"After the training I will give you, you won't need to even use the sword." Said Zangetsu in a matter of fact tone. "Let's get started."

. . . . . . .

1 day later

Ichigo stepped out of the Garganta. It was night. He wasn't worried about anybody noticing his appearance because Zangetsu had taught him how to suppress his spirit energy. He looked over his home town. Ichigo took in a deep breath of fresh air and nearly gaged. 'I forgot that the living world doesn't have as many loose spirit particles in the air' thought Ichigo.

Ichigo had gone to Urahara Shoten and went in to find Urahara.

"Wait here while I summon your friends." He said

While Ichigo waited for him friends to come he talked to Jinta.

"Hi Ichigo I like the look, make's you look badass, but can you look maybe a little more human?" asked Jinta.

'Can I?' Ichigo asked Zangetsu.

"Yes you can King but you will only be at half power because your Hollow side is dominant and you will still have the hollow eyes." Said Zangetsu.

"Okay thanks. Anything is better than nothing." As Ichigo thanked Zangetsu he brought his hand to the top of his face and tore off the mask.

"How do I look?" asked Ichigo with a sheepish grin.

"You look cool but how will you explain your eyes to your friends?" asked Jinta.

"I'll just say that it is the byproduct of my special training." said Ichigo.

. . . . . . .

Outside.

Orihime ran up to Urahara Shoten. She headed there right after she got the message. Orihime was sad because she was told she had no sense of humor. She ran into Chad in front of the store.

"You're fast!" Orihime panted as she looks at Chad.

Yeah…I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk and I got the notice around here." said Chad. "I don't think Uryuu's going to come."

"Chad don't say that!" yelled Orihime.

"Who said I wouldn't come?" said Uryuu. "Didn't I tell you that I can't forgive myself for losing to those Shinigami, so I had to train. Since I said that, then I won't stop until I win. For that I'll go anywhere."

"Thank you Ishida-san." Orihime said.

Urahara walked out of the shop to greet everyone. "So most everyone's here. Let me show you inside."

"I didn't know something this beautiful existed underneath this little shop." exclaimed Orihime.

"You...Your reaction is so good. I am very touched." said Tessai. They all then walked up to a large boulder and looked at Urahara.

"So where is Kurosaki-kun Urahara?" asked Orihime.

"Before I tell you where Mr. Kurosaki is, you need to know in a training accident…I don't know how to explain this…"

"Out with it!" yelled Uryuu. All of a sudden Ichigo jumped down in front of the group.

"I became a Hollow." said Ichigo with golden eyes and black sclera. The next thing he knew Ichigo had a large blue arrow pointed at his face.

Again sorry for not getting this in earlier. Review please I would appreciate it. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading. Bye.
