Hi! Sorry for the long time I spent on this chapter but I was sort of stuck...I wrote it at least five time and it was a pretty important chapter for this story so I didn't want to screw things up too much. And then as I fiinished my computer died. Fortunately, I have a new laptop now and managed to write it anew. Thanks everyone for the wonderful reviews I received!

Chapter 6 :

Harry awoke abruptly with a gasp. Standing up, he quickly made his way to find Richard and Adams, the British Shinigami working as an Unspeakable, to talk to them and see what happened to Ichigo. Harry had been so sure that Ichigo had died. He had fell it in his very soul even though the connection between them had been blocked.

Harry paused before the door to Richard's office. A thought struck him suddenly. What if Richard would tell him to do something he didn't want. It was him, after all, who asked him wipe all memories of himself from Ichigo's mind. He was sure by now that Ichigo would remember before long and truth was he didn't really wanted Ichigo to forget him. And even if something strange was going on, now that Voldemort was out of the way, Harry didn't wanted to lets go of Ichigo.

He had come to this conclusion when the door opened and Richard appeared looking at him waiting for explanation on his being here. Seeing that Harry would not open his mouth, Richard frowned.

"Well, what are you doing here, Harry? I thought you went to bed an hour ago? Did something happened?"

"No...Just a dream...Nothing else."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

Harry went back to his room trying to ignore Richard's stare. Harry didn't go back to sleep though, he was thinking very hard on the events which had taken place that night.

'Pffu!'Harry heard a twisted voice say. He stiffened. There was no way...Looking around the room, Harry saw that bar his familiars he was alone in the room. 'Pathetic! You can't even recognize me!'

"Then tell me who you are?"

'I should not have been surprised to hear that you don't remember me. I am the one you locked away the moment he was created. And I am not happy.'

'How?...'

'How did I managed to wake up? The presence of this other stronger hollow wake me. Thing is...I'm still chained. It won't hold me down forever but once I'm free...I'm taking over and you'll regret ever locking me up.'

"What do you mean "stronger hollow"? Asked Harry, frowning.

'I meant what I mean, okey? Pff you really are dense, aren't you?' Said the voice which Harry could guess was his inner hollow.

"I am not dense, it's you who is unclear."

'Think it through and maybe you'll figure it out one day, kid.' And the conversation ended just like that.

Harry tried to reach his hollow once more by himself but it would seems he didn't have enough controle over his hollow to do anything.

After those unsuccessful attempts, Harry decided to try and enter his own mindscape to get his answers.

As he focused on it, Harry could fell that he was jerked inside his own mind. It was nearly the same as it had been the first time only instead of Voldemort's tree a reversed-colored Harry was chained.

"Good to see you visiting, I was starting to get mad from boredom here."

"You are my hollow." Said Harry. Even though it was puts as an affirmation, there was still an hint of question in this statement. "If so then the white Ichigo I meet was a hollow version."

"Yes. You had it right at the first try. I'm impressed." Said the other Harry, sarcastically.

"Did you just said I was stupid?"

"I didn't say anything, YOU just did" Smirked the hollow, practically cackling with glee.

"Grrr...I didn't knew I could be that annoying."

"Most of the time, you're not...Think of me as an unconscious part of yourself...I am the you that you push away endlessly just to be seen as someone nice...This is pathetic. I am anxious to be free to get rid of you and kill off all of your friends."

"Why?"

"Why? You dare ask me why? You bind me and got rid of me before even meeting me!"

"We didn't really had a choice at that time. We were at war against Voldy and couldn't allow our attention to be diverted from there...Not even for you, mister!"Harry replied.

"Fuck you!"

The two felt silent, staring at each other stubbornly.

"I might seem crazy...but I want to propose a deal." Said Harry after a while.

"What kind of deal?"

"You said that you would be able to break those restraints after a while and that when it's the case you're going to take over me...What is keeping me from telling the Unspeakables...I am sure they would be delight to find a new test subject...And so soon at that!"

"Why you! Snaky little...!"

"Now now...Don't be like that! I am doing my best to survive after all...You should be proud of me." Harry drawled out.

"I am a part of you!" Protest the hollow.

"I know...But you were also a part of Him and I won't hesitate to get rid of you if it mean you'll never hurt anyone...You seemed to forget that while you were sleeping I just fought a war, however short it was...I am not the same nice guy as before. I changed."

"You're crazy." Hissed out the hollow.

"Do you agree to my deal or not? Shall I call the Unspeakables?"

"...What do you want?"

"I just want to be sure that you're not going to be a nuisance to me...For that we're going to do a magical pact which won't allow us to harm each other, understand?" Said Harry with a gentle smile.

"You're even worse than me." Muttered the hollow, pouting.

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" Harry hollow had finally realised that human Harry was quite dangerous and quite not there anymore. It would seems living through a war surrounded by psychopath geniuses had affected his mind somehow. Thankfully Harry was able to hid it better than Albus Dumbledore and managed to act mostly "normally". In a way, hollow Harry was happy to have been asleep during all this time if it had done that on his sweet host.

After making the magical oath (which only need one person's magic as Harry's hollow is not magical), Harry freed his hollow with a smile before stepping back and turning his back to his other self who looked dumb struck at his host.

"I'm glad we could come to an agreement...I would have been sad to tell you Adieu." With that, Harry smiled a true smile and left to get some real sleep.

With Ichigo.

Ichigo sighed for the hundred time that day. He was thinking off Harry, trying to imagine what the other boy was doing, wondering if he had changed during this whole time and if he was alright. He knew that he would have his answers soon enough but he felt that his life had just become even more complicated and had a hard time not rushing through his shinigami duties to go to sleep and see the smaller boy.

In the back of his mind, he could fell his hollow and zampakuto's feelings mirroring his own. They too fell restless and wanted to go see the cute boy.

Not too soon enough, it was time to get to bed and Ichigo flashed step to his bed and entered his mind scape.

Meeting up with Zangetsu and his hollow, they decided to spare to spend time and wait for Harry. They ended up being so focussed on their sparing match that they didn't notice anything when two Harry appeared.

"Wow! You sure are impressive with that big sword or yours? Should we leave you alone?"

"We?" Ichigo and Ishiro turned to see Harry and his hollow standing on another building.

"You...You have a hollow."

"Well guessed, Sherlock!" Hollow Harry replied only to be slapped on the back of his head by his human with a 'be nice' as warning.

"As you do." Said Harry as a matter of fact while Ichigo and his spirits landed near them.

"Is it because of me? Is it because I turned into one that you ended up with one too?" Asked Ichigo, suddenly feeling guily.

"No." Harry answered simply, shrugging.

"Then why?"

"It was one of the reasons I had to cut all ties with you."

"Well, I for one don't care as long as I have you with me." Said the hollow his gaze passing from Harry to Harry hollow with a leery grin. "Two instead of just one! I could get use to this!"

Harry bursted out laughing while his hollow was spitting fire (quite literally) in consternation.

"Ichigo! You're a pervert!"

"What? Not! It's just the hollow!" Ichigo denied, blushing because ever since he had seen this new Harry (who had not really physically changed that much), he started to notice small details, like how he had red highlights in his black hair which seems to have grown a little longer, like how the boy in question would bit those plump pink lips to stop his hiccup of laugher and how his green eyes would spark with mischief.

"The hollow in question is a reflection of yourself, of your deepest thoughts so don't play innocent!"

"But!"Spluttered Ichigo.

"Not buts! Now I think that you have questions for me."

"Yes but I didn't want to overwhelm you too soon."

"Don't worry about me! You can fire as many questions as you want, I'll try to answer them as truthfully as possible. I am not made of sugar you know!"

At Ichigo's dubitative look (Harry was practically as short as Rukia), Harry's hollow felt a shiver going up his back.

"It's true! Believe me! That's guy is crazy! And coming from a hollow, it's a pretty big statement!"

"If he is so crazy, aren't you supposed to be even more so?" Asked Ichigo.

The hollow glared at Ichigo but didn't answer.

"So...If we're done playing, why don't we start with the questioning?" Cut Zangestu, before a fight could break.

"Right. Well, what happened then?"

"I love how simple and straightforward you are sometime!" Exclaimed Harry with a grin. Ichigo blushed hotly while his hollow and Zangetsu snorted behind him.

"Please don't interrupt, okay? The whole thing started durring the last part of the Tri-wizards tournaments in which I was forced to participe. Voldemort kidnapped me and used me to come back to life. I managed to escape but nobody would believe me until I was 'questioned' by the directors of the Laws Department as well as the Department of Mysteries. They found that I had a connection to you... And Voldemort. We decided to block my mind to ensure that he wouldn't be able to get to me or to you. Now, he is dead, so... I'm free to do as I wish."

"How comes you have a hollow now?"

"Cutting ties with you ended up being a good idea. It appeared that Voldemort split his soul into 7 part, those things are called Horcruxes. I was one of those and when we tried to get rid of Voldy's soul bit which had decided to take residence in my mind, it endded up quite badly."

"Which is why you broke all connections with me but why did you have to wipe my memories of you?"

"Because you are a muggle. Moreover, muggle and magical souls don't mix well. After years of being in me, I sucked out all of the horcrux's magic within me and it became a muggle soul, which are the only ones able to change into hollows or shinigamies. Just as the Unspeaables of the Department of Mysteries were removing it from my soul, the soul bit woke up and turned fully into a hollow and tried to eat me. I turned into a hollow as soon as the soul bit was taken away."

"That's how you changed into a hollow but how did you managed to return your humanity?" Zangetsu asked, interested.

"Thankfully they had reaper in the Departement of Mysteries who was anxious to know what would happen to a newly turned hollow if you put your sword through it with the wish to transfer some of your powers. Thus, I became a sort of half hollow, half shinigami."

"If you're half shinigami, then where is your zampakuto's spirit?" Zangetsu asked , interested.

"Hum...Frankly? I don't know! Ask my hollow! He might know!" Harry answered , smiling brightly, turning toward his hollow.

"I...never meet her myself! I just woke up! How should I know? " Hollow Harry yelled.

"You big liar! You just admitted to the contrary!" Said Harry taking the head of his hollow between his arms to ruffle his hair, a thing he knew he hated most himself.

"Gaahh! Okay, the truth is...She is way weaker than me right now and I am the one in controle for now."

"You see when you want you can be nice! It wasn't so hard, was it?" Said Harry, releasing his other self, who in turn went to hid behing Ishiro (much to the other hollow' delight)all the while muttering 'told you so..." "Crazy son of a..." under his breath. Harry didn't seemed to mind and decided to turn out his hollow's rambling.

"By the way Ichigo, what happened to you too? I felt you die! How come you have a Zampakuto and a hollow?"

"I sort of made friend with a shinigami but because she helped me she was in trouble and I had to get powers to save her. I managed to get shinigami's powers but ended up with hollow 's ones a well. Now, the shinigamies are at war and I'm helping them out a little."

"Jeez, a lot of things happens in so little time. Ah! I think it's time for me to wake up Ichigo. I have to go!"

"Before leaving I want you to promise me something."

"What?"

"Never wipe my memories of you ever again."

"Alright! I can do that!" And without a sound, Harry disappeared from Ichigo's mindscape. All three parts of Ichigo turned around to see that Harry's hollow was still there, though not longer hidden.

"What are you doing still there?" Questioned Zangetsu with a raised eyebrow.

"You don't mind if I stuck around, guys? I don't want to go back! That guy is clearly insane! Should have known that spending practically all your time with mad scientistes was bad for your mental wealth!"

"Don't worry, Ichigo! I'm going to take good care of him!" Leered Ishiro as he tooks a blushing Harry hollow into his arms, speeding off to some secret place.

"Help! He is as mad as my other me!"Was the only thing Harry hollow had been able to yell before being out of earshot.

"Zangestu, please make sure that they don't do anything!" Ichigo said before leaving in a hurry. He didn't wanted to be the one to deal with this mess.

Zangestu sighed. He would always have to do the dirty work, it would seems.

Author Note:

Well, Harry is crazy. I thought that what with going through a war as well as living with mad scientists for some time, it was quite normal. He sort of remind me a little of Unohana, who seems unassuming but is in fact scary! Harry's hollow is more like Harry was before the war because he had been unconscious throughout the whole ordeal. ^^ He's cute!

That's all folks! Hope you liked it! See you soon!
