Hey, I'm back, and here's an update

He took a deep breath in, and stretched a little bit. He hadn't run that fast in his body for a while.

He watched the other students as their times piled up, 8 minutes for most, than 9, 10, 11, and 12. Tsukune was in the 11 category. Ichigo frowned. Little to no monsters were in 12. Tsukune stood out, because he wasn't actively fit.

He caught up with Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari, and Gin, and instantly they started asking him questions.

"How the heck did you run so fast! You barely broke a sweat!" Yukari said, her eyes wide.

"Yeah, that was impressive man, usually I only get that fast on my good days." Gin said confused, scratching the back of his head.

"..." Kurumu, Moka and Mizore stood their gaping. They soon promised each other to meet and lunch.

After everyone changed in the locker rooms, they began to head out back to their homeroom for Monster History.

Ichigo was intrigued by this, not knowing much about monsters at all.

"Class, in the 4th cenury a Gorgon had taken control over the land, open about it to humans, and what happened to her?" The teacher asked, seemingly rhetorically.

"They killed her. That is what happens to our race when our superiority goes to our head, someone will find our weakness and use it against us." Shesaid snapping at the front row.

Geez, from the way this lady's talking, monsters sure are sounding alot like hollows... Shiro said, in awe. Ichigo just flicked his presence away.

Finally, the bell rang signalling lunch, and Ichigo grabbed his bag and stood up, leaving with Yukari beside him.

"Hey, Yukari, I don't know a whole lot about Monster History... could you lend me some notes?" He asked politely, still mentally hitting Shiro with his foot.

She smiled brightly at him, reminding him painfully of Yuzu. Adoration was burning in her eyes.

"Sure Ichigo-kun!" She replied. Ichigo gave her a light smile as well.

WHen they got to the multi-purpose room he had throughly destroyed the day previous, he saw Tsukune, Moka, Mizore, and Kurumu were already seated. Gin was nowhere in sight.

He and Yukari walked through the lines, and then headed over to the table. Ichigo frowned as he saw that Kurumu and Moka were now fighting over Tsukune. He sighed, and picked up both of them by the hem of their shirts, Tsukune scooting away.

"Hi Ichigo." Mizore said from her place at the table. Yukari was staring at her.

Why wasn't she in the arguement too? Yukari wondered. Her eyes traveled to Ichigo, a blush dusting across her cheeks while he scolded them.

Was he why? She felt her crush for Tsukune melt off a little bit more.

...

Ichigo sighed as Moka and Kurumu settled into their seats.

"So... Ichigo-san, what did you think of Youkai Academy?" Tsukune asked, biting into his (seemingly) normal apple. Ichigo shrugged.

"It's been fine. Not too many problems, besides too many curious students..." He scratched the back of his head, eating a little bit of his food.

"You know.. you know that I'm a vampire and that Kurono-san is a succubus... Yukari is a witch, and Mizore-chan is an Ice-woman... can you tell us what you are?" Moka asked, all their faces leaning in. Ichigo hesitated. What to say...

"I'm kinda a... ghost..." He muttered. Their eyes widened.

"WHAT!" They yelled. Instantly Yukari started poking him.

"But you're completely solid!" She said, shocked. Ichigo scowled.

"Well... I'm in what's like a real body but its fake. I'm not really a monster, I have an inner monster... but he's not too bad. He's kinda like... inner Moka," he said, motioning to the busty girl. All of them gave a simultainous nod.

"OH!" They said. He resisted the urge to face palm.

,,,...,,,...,

Long after classes had ended, and Ichigo, Tsukune, Gin, Moka, Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari were heading back to their dorms, when a loud scream resonated throughout the room.

Ichigo tensed. That wasn't a scream for help. That was a battle cry.

Out of the sky (most likely the roof), he saw a flash of bright emerald eyes that briefly reminded him of the despair espada, if it weren't for the burning rage flaring up in them, laying wake to emotions so profound.

The figure landed with a loud thud on the ground in front of them, and dust flew up everywhere. The newspaper club setup into their standard stance, as they watched the dust clear for the possible threat.

A flash of bright redish-orange hair shown, and Kokoa Shuzen stood, holding a huge club/mace thing. Ichigo swore that she looked like she had a zanpakuto, especially because a distinct soul unlike the souls of inanimate objects was uncannily similar to that of zanpakutou's spirit in that club.

He silently materialized Tensa Zangetsu, as it was inherently smaller, feeling the strain of his own reiatsu push against his body. He wasn't supposed to invoke his bankai a whole lot while in his body... but that was before he mastered the use of reiatsu in his by with fullbring. Kokoa lifted her bat at Moka

"That's enough! I'm tired of seeing such a pansy like you prancing around in my sister's body! You imitation!" Kokoa yelled, jumping forward with a downward hit. Ichigo easily manuevered himself into the middle of the circle of friends protecting Moka, and they stepped aside slightly at the intrusion, their eyes wide.

Kokoa's eyes widened as she saw the strong young man Ichigo Kurosaki again, but momentum already had her going and she was going to hit him.

She only hoped that his strength would keep him from dying.

Then, as time almost slowed for her, she saw Ichigo raise a deep obsidian black nodachi, that once in position steadily held back her nearly-a-ton spiked club.

Ichigo released a small blast of reiatsu into his arm, and the continuous force continued and launched Kokoa away. Ichigo dematerialized his sword and felt a large weight come off him as he approached Kokoa, bending his knees so he was close to her unconscious body.

He watched as the club beside her morphed into a little brown hamster-like bat, also throughly unconscious due to his reiatsu blast. What an interesting thing to see a zanpakuto-like bat that morphed into a weapon. He picked up the bat by the ear, and looked at it closely.

It's eyes blinked slowly open, fuzzy with liquid, before he saw Ichigo.

"AH!" He screamed, flying back away from Ichigo's inquistive face. Ichigo was reminded strongly of Kon, who was currently in the company of an over-hyper Yuzu that was overjoyed with the idea of having a talking stuffed animal, even though knowing it was a konpaku.

Kokoa slowly got up, and stared at the strong guy, Ichigo. Sad tears filled her eyes, and she looked at the near-comforting face Ichigo had, and broke down, collapsing into his surprised arms.

"Ichigo-sama! I'm so sorry! I just want my nii-chan back!" She cried, squeezing his torso with a force to kill a human. He sighed, and patted the top of her head, reminding him strongly of Yuzu.

She turned her pleading emerald eyes up at him.

"Why does that girl prance around as Moka? Why did she take away my sister?" Kokoa cried, despair over-coming her at showing such weakness.

Ichigo sighed, pushing her shoulders back, surprising her as she looked into his war-bearing brown eyes.

"That Moka didn't take your sister away. She still the same Moka, but with a whole lot more years of fear on her. Being weak does that to a person; it changes their personality... I would know, when I had lost my powers too at one point. But don't ever think that that girl is not your sister. They are one in the same person, but two different personalities as well. But, Kokoa-chan, both of them are you sister, whether you want to except that or not." Ichigo comforted. Kokoa's eyes softened, and basically melted into his touch. It wasn't like fighting with her nii-chan, nor was it something she wanted to push away from. She felt safe in the guy's arms, a guy!

For once, Kokoa blushed for someone other than her sister.

...

Since that incident, Kokoa had now stopped bugging her sister about fighting her all the time, but, whenever she would start talking to Moka, she always kept asking if she could remove her rosario for just a moment. She even went to great heights to show Moka that she also thought of her as a sister- just a different sister- to get Moka to remove the rosario. But Moka couldn't, and Tsukune always seemed to disappear just when she had the time to find him. So, as it was, Kokoa was at a loss. She had tried to find Ichigo to tell him about it, but whenever she was around him, she felt the same admiration around him like she did around her sister, and held off of asking as to revel in the moments she could rarely spend with the Senior.

So, as it was, Kokoa Shuzen was at a loss. She tried to think of ways she could possibly even see the sister Moka she grew up with. Then, it hit her.

The forbidden Lillith's mirror that gave the hearts true form to materialize, that was mentioned in the Vampire Archives. She grinned to herself. This way, she would see her sister no matter what!

...

Tatsuki Arisawa wasn't a stupid girl. No, she was far from stupid. She knew more to the word than any scholar did. She knew what the afterlife was like. Of course, she had never been there, but still. In fact, after she had found out her best friend Ichigo Kurosaki was one of the 'substitute' guardians for the Soul Society, she knew she wouldn't see him much anymore.

But... they had at least promised to take two years of Karakura Community college before leaving. But, Ichigo didn't do that. She didn't know where he went.

It seemed as if the only people who knew was his family.

Oh, she knew he ahd gone of to a special school, and that he was repeating high school, but the way he had said it...

It was as if someone he knew was going to die if he didn't. So Tatsuki had left it alone at the time.

Let him leave.

But... after texting him every morning and night since he left with no reply...

She was going to that Youkai Academy of his, and kicking his ass through every window until he explained himself.

.-.-.-.

Somewhere in Ichigo's room at the Karakura Clinic, a small silver phone was flashing lights, the number 15 burning into the emptiness of the room.

.-.-.

Kokoa skipped happily to school, just in front of the gates, carrying the small mirror in her hand as she walked down the pathway. Today she was going to see her sister and no one was going to stop her. In front of her, she saw a girl in a dark blue school uniform- wearing pants-, walking down the pathway cracking her knuckles. Kokoa frowned, and poked the back of her head, causing the girl to swivel around and glare down at her.

"What!" She snapped. Kokoa scowled, and looked at the girl's uniform again.

"You're not from this school- are you?" Kokoa asked, angry that this girl was intruding.

"No. But soon enough, Ichigo is so going to get a beating..." She growled lightly under her breath. Kokoa's eyes widened, this girl was out for Ichigo!

"Not if I have anything to do with it. If I have to, I'll throw you out of here faster than you can even reach Ichigo-sama!" Kokoa retorted. Tatsuki's eyes widened. Who was this girl, and what was with this Ichigo-sama business? But then, they narrowed.

"You think you can beat me? I'm the second strongest girl in all of Japan... and that was when I had a broken arm!" Tatsuki said proudly, pulling out her silver medal she always held. Kokoa rolled her eyes. Nothing could beat a vampire, even if she was Super S like her sister.

"Bring it on, intruder!" Kokoa said, setting down her mirror, glaring up at the karate-girl. Tatsuki set up. She had dealt with a horny Chizuru for four years. A freshman was going to get past her guard.

They rushed at eachother, and kicks and punches flew, blocks haphazardly thrown in to prevent broken bones. Kokoa then flipped back and held at her hand.

"Koh!" She yelled. The little bat swooped down from the tree, and Kokoa squished him in her hand. A puff of smoke blew out and Tatsuki's eyes widened.

In the place of that weird hamster-bat thing, was large baseball bat with a spike going through it.

As Tatsuki continued to struggle with the vampire, Tsukune and Ichigo walked to school, Moka a little bit behind, Gin nowhere in sight.

"Not like we need that pig around anyways..." Ichigo mumbled.

They suddenly heard yelling, and Tsukune only had a second to hold his breath before Ichigo Shunido'd them instantly to the spot.

To Ichigo's utter and complete surprise, Kokoa and Tatsuki were fighting. Ichigo's mind went blank. Suddenly, Tatsuki pulled off a perfect palm heel thrust, and Kokoa was shot back, tumbling into her mirror, and the cloth fell off, releasing Lilith's spirit. The fairy came out and watched the havoc, a wicked smirk on her face.

To reveal your true face...

A flash of light burst throughout the clearing drawing everyone's eyes to the mirror.

And then, havoc broke, history shattered, and everything exploded...

... sort of...

...

When the light ended, and the spots in everyone's vision disappeared, something absolutely astounding happened.

The amount of people in the clearing in front of the school... practically multiplied!

... Don't get it? Let me explain,...

Four people were now in the area where Ichigo was, two people were where Moka was, Two people where Tsukune was... but Kokoa and Tatsuki weren't affected...

"WHATS THE HELL!" Ichigo yelled. Nine other people sweat dropped.

...

Ichigo stormed over to the mirror, and scooped up the tiny fairy, glaring the hell out of her, his reiatsu flaring and lashing at her soul, Shiro, Tensa, Zan-Zan, and Inner Moka doing the same. Outer Moka, Kokoa, Tatsuki, and Tsukune cowered back. While Tatsuki had felt Ichigo's power flaring before, it was if that feeling had been multiplied by four, and was crushing her into the ground. Tsukune felt the same about Moka. However, Ghoul, felt mostly nothing as he sat back. He was out, and he felt bloodlust, but there was nothing to corrupt here. Everything in this world right now was powerful... especially the bright red aura emitting off of a slightly frightened black-haired woman.

"What did you do?!" Ichigo growled. Lilith quivered in his hands, and crawled over to hermirror, intent on turning it off.

Before she could, time froze and Ghoul came up, picked up the mirror, and crushed it in his hands. Everyone's eyes widened in shock. Who, and what had he done!

"You idiot! Now you've ruined your one chance of becoming whole again!" Lilith cried. Everyone froze. This was permanent? Ichigo tossed the small fairy to Zan, who cradled her shocked form in his old hands, as he glared at the naive girl.

He then came up to ghoul, who looked like Tsukune, with maroon eyes, jet black hair, and odd, crawling tattoo-like veins from his neck up to his chin.

"Why the hell did you do that?" Ichigo asked, grabbing the fron of his shirt. Ghoul smirked.

"Because... what else could I do?" His double edged voice asked rhetorically. Ichigo scowled and tossed him away in disgust.

Ichigo held the tip of his nosebridge tightly in irritation.

He walked over to Shiro, Tensa and Zan-zan (From now on that's what Old man zangetsu will be called, Zan, or Zan-zan.)

"So... I get to keep a body?" Shiro asked gleefully, looking at his fully real left and right hands in absolute fascination. Tensa scowled at him.

"I sure hope not... your annoying enough in his inner world!" He snarked. Zan silently hit his stronger, but younger counter part upside the head. Tensa swirled around.

"And you! Giving him my power all willy-nilly! He barely had a trust relationship with us and yet you still put him through bankai training! You put him in so much danger!" Tensa accused. Zangetsu narrowed his eyes.

"And you do realize that if I didn't teach him, he would stay weak, and still going into a fight, except with no possible chances of winning whatsoever?" Zangetsu retorted.

"And don't forget me! Bya-chan would've popped King's head off if not for me!" Ichigo scowled at the still-happy inner hollow (not so inner...)

"We have to see geta-boushi about this." Ichigo said flatly.

"WHAT? No! He's gonna find a way to fix this and then I'll have to go back!" Shiro whined. Ghoul stood up from his place on the ground.

"No way am I going back to that guy." He said, pointing over to his human counter-part. Tensa sighed, and looked over to Tatsuki.

"So... what's she doing here anyway?" He asked, crossing his arms. She slowly stood dusting off her pants. She walked past Tensa, her eyes covered by her bangs.

She walked right in front of Ichigo, her hands clenched. He looked at her worriedly.

"What's wrong-" He started. Instantly, her arm flew up in a mean haymaker, that, while he had already known Tatsuki was strong, he didn't think she was strong enough to friggin' dislocate his jaw! He rubbed his jaw softly, looking at the fuming girl.

"That's for not texting, or calling me back!" She yelled. Tsukune walked over to him.

"Is that your girlfriend?" He asked quietly. Ichigo shook his head, and stood up.

"Tatsuki? What are you-... aw shittt... I'm so so sorry Tatsuki... I think I left my phone at home..." He told her lamely. She growled.

"You are a real idiot aren't you? And what's up with this whole mirror and inner demons thing? I mean, I already knew about yours, but what about all these... wait... You came to a school for people like you; didn't you!" She said accusingly. Ichigo rubbed the back of his head.

"Sort of..." He told her. She threw her hands in the air.

"Great! Just great! You know what? I'm just going to go home, and forget this ever happened ok? But next time, call me from time to time; got it!" She yelled, pointing a finger at him, storming away.

Everyone else watched as she walked away.

"So... now we really are two seperate people!" Moka said to Akashiya(how inner Moka will now be called). Akashiya nodded.

"It's seems so, childe. We'll have to see the headmaster about this." Akashiya complied. Ichigo just groaned. He was stuck with Shiro now. Wait...

"Wait, does this mean that I can't use your mask anymore?" Ichigo asked panickedly to his inner hollow. Shiro looked alarmed.

"I dunno king, how about you go check?" he suggested. Ichigo took a deep breath, and tried finding that one place within himself where he drew his power from, running the reiatsu over his face. Surprisingly, only the bottom half of the mask formed, covering his mouth.

"Uh... I have a gut feeling, Shiro; Tensa; Zangetsu, I think all of you should try donning a mask as well." Ichigo suggested. The three manifested ex-inner souls looked at each other, and all ran a hand over their faces. Shiro had a mask piece on the left side of his face, a horn jutting out. Tensa had similar, on the right side of his face that curled around his right eye. Zangetsu's was a like the rim of his sunglassses became a part of the mask, that was wider over his left eye, like a cresent moon. They all stared a each other dumbfounded. It seems their permanently manifested states split their power between the four of them.

"Wait... guys! If my hollow powers were strong enough to be split in four, does that mean that I've restored more of my power?" Shiro asked excitedly. Ichigo peered at him. His hair was long enough to be Ichigo's own height now.

"Maybe. Your hair used to go to your waist." Ichigo told him. Shiro pouted.

"Ok, what the hell is going on!" Tsukune screamed, pointing at Tensa, Zangetsu, Shiro, Ghoul, and Akashiya.

"Maybe you weren't paying attention, Tsukune but your Ghoul over here destroyed Lilith's mirror, and now we're stuck like this." Akashiya spoke up.

Life just got a tad harder...

AND DONE! I apologize for the long wait!
