Hollow

Edited by_ Dark Spider

Holding a brown-eyed woman who has fair skin and long, light, wavy brown hair down to her back, which is tied in a knot in the back by a bone and bangs down to her chin in the front and wearing a white Shihakusho to cover her body. 

After Ichigo had killed the Hollow she finally opened her eyes and looking at Takashi asks with a surprised face had brown eyes she is looking at everyone in the sky in surprise "Where am I?"

"Mom" hearing the woman's confused tone Ichigo quickly moved beside Takashi who is holding his mother before calling out to her with water in his eyes.

"Ichigo?" turning her head she discovered her son has water in his eyes, even if Ichigo has grown from the last time she saw him however as a mother how can she not recognize her son then again he is all grown up so she said with some hesitation.

"Mom!!!" putting aside the Zanpakuto and quickly taking Masaki from Takashi's hand Ichigo hugs her before he started crying like a baby.

"Now, now Ichigo you have grown so big and manly, so how can you turn into a crybaby when you would never cry and always smile from what I remember." said Masaki with a smile but she also had water from the reunion with her family, all this year's she had only one wish and that is to say goodbye to her family.

She only wanted to have one last glance while struggling to keep her consciousness, what is it that she didn't do in the thousands of consciousness to avoid losing her part of the mind, she ran and lost many parts of her soul and energy for her consciousness, all it was she wants to regain her awareness but how can she do that when she never got a single glance of her family all this time.

She was losing all hope and even though it's useless to struggle, she was slowly giving up her struggle and when she only had a small fraction of energy to keep her consciousness and lose everything in a few months or days she finally felt her son's presence but he was in a bad situation which made her use all her leftover energy to have a final reunion before she vanishes from existence.

Knowing she can only send a memory to her son, Masaki sent all her words to her Doll with all her energy and consciousness.

Although it is unknown to her how she had regained her freedom and return to life, however, she glad that she can now be with her family once again which made her shade tears of happiness.

"No, mom I am not crying it's from my happiness from getting you back." explained Ichigo shaking his head while trying his best to smile however the tears in his eyes seem to be endless as it won't stop no matter how much he wanted.

"It's alright Ichigo, mom is also happy that you are fine and we can be reunited with once more." said Masako as she cherished Ichigo as she did in the past but suddenly she discovered her son is a head taller than her, so with a surprise she says before getting sad "Ichigo you have become taller than mom, now I won't be able to take care of you like in the past."

"Mom that is not something to be depressed about." Ichigo said in disbelief when he understood the reason for his mother's sadness, come on who gets sad when their son becomes handsome.

"No you don't understand Ichigo." said Ichigo's mother shaking her head as she understood how much time has passed and how her son had grown so big in her absence that he might not need her care anymore after all this time.

"How can you separate a soul after being consumed by a Hollow?" asks Saido in shock while looking at Masaki and Ichigo's reunion.

"I am not sure it's just a feeling that I can do it and gave it a try because if I didn't then I would regret it for the rest of my life and what do you know it worked out fine." said Takashi with a smile while looking at the mother and son which made him feel all his hard work on separating Masaki from the Hollow is paid off.

"You are so reckless, what if it sent a backlash?" asks Rukia with a serious tone when she understood Takashi wasn't sure of his actions.

"What If it sent a backlash with the pitiful amount of power it has besides this was the final chance for me to save Aunt Masaki, so how can I give up." said Takashi with a deep sigh as he also felt he was being reckless even if the hollow was a pathetic existence for him however it cold still sent very deep damage to him once it got the chance to attack his sea consciousness.

However, he had never thought of something this important when it was his final chance to save Ichigo/ the mother of his best friend.

"You really are stupid." said Rukia with a serious face but inside she was happy knowing he is so kind and considering that he will put his own life on life for his friend's happiness who knows what will he do for her whom he is in love with and thinking this made her face red.

"Are you truly a human?" hearing all of Takashi's explanations Saido couldn't help but ask in surprise from everything that went so far.

"What do you think?" Takashi asks Saido showing his Zanpakuto with a chuckle.

"Even if you have a Zanpakuto however, I can not feel any kind of spiritual energy from you." said Saido with a surprise but he is sure Takashi had used some kind of energy to suppress them and use the Kido earlier however the energy is different from all the energy and its especially not spiritual energy then the most important thing is how can he use Kido with this new kind of energy.

"How about you decide my identity for yourself." said Takashi without caring about Saido's confusion when Rukia asks something from his side "Why does aunt Masaki have a hole in her shoulder?"
