Chapter 45: Hollow Be Thy Name

AN: Another ChapterThe 'movie' announced last chapter won't be in this story, but it's own short story. So if you wanna read it you can or not. And it won't interfere with this story either.The Kido Corps began to figure a way to trap Aizen and his allies. Though others were trying to find a way into Hueco Mundo. This would force the Arrancar out and into the open.

I on the other hand be trying to invent a new Kido. Not the most easiest task, so much so that had my Vice-Captain Shuhei take over my command for the meantime.

As blue energy formed in my palms it quickly collapsed. Sighing harshly as I sat down with dead end. Aizen was strong and getting more powerful. No simple Kido would do. Sitting as formed every combination I knew of. None would work as I sat a familiar presence caught me.

"So you're back?"

"Of course, we're friends"

I chuckled receding back into my thoughts.

"...You seem to be having trouble" Lobo spoke

"It seems that way, I've tried everything"

"Not everything"

Knowing what she spoke of placing my black hand over my eye. I had rarely used my power...the Sharingan.

"Are you afraid?"

"No, no it's not that it's just what happens when I use it? Will I remember something troubling? Or..."

"Will you be changed?"

Remaining silent as an unspoken answer. Glancing by my side she was gone. Taking a deep breath I stood up, hesitant at first again placing my hand over my eye. Removing my cover I felt the power course through my eyes. I could see everything, I knew how the birds moved, I saw every spirit pressure I could, nothing escaped my sight.

"Let's give it a go"

Beginning to form energy between my hands. Using my Sharingan the energy turned dark blue. It was then I began to design my seal.

Meanwhile...

Aizen sat at the table his Ten Arrancar all ready to listen. Who stood behind him was former Captains Tousen and Gin stood by his side. Tousen faced Grimmjow who laid reclined in his seat.

"...what do your have to say for yourself?" He asked

Grimmjow just stayed silent with a scowl. Focused on the ceiling he rising

from his chair to leave.

"Where do you think your going?" Tousen asked as the Arrancar walked passed him and Aizen

"I'm leaving because I don't take orders from Soul Reapers" he growled

"Grimmjow..." Aizen spoke

Turning he immediately felt the power that rushed over him. Taken to his knees, it passed quickly as the air in his lungs returned. Gasping as spit fell from his mouth to the floor.

"Since Grimmjow cannot represent himself properly... I'll call this meeting, adjourned" he announced all those present even Grimmjow

Tousen and Gin watched them exit the room. Tousen was sceptical about them and repeatedly gave Aizen his opinion.

"Lord Aizen,are you sure on using such crude methods?" He asked

Aizen didn't say a word, gesturing for them to leave. Doing so it was just him closing his eyes, till a gust of wind hit.

"You're early" he said opening them back open

"Somethings need my supervision and patience" a voice said

"...what makes Kakashi Hatake so important to you?"

The voice stayed silent for a period of time.

"Ichigo is making his way here, make sure your little side projects are ready for him" the voice warned then left with a gust of wind

"...they will"

Soul Society

My body was exhausted as I walked back to my home.

"Captain Hatake!"

Looking seeing Lieutenant Shuhei rushing towards me. Stopping in front of me catching his breath.

"So? Where's the fire?"

"I came to inform you that training has been done, and paperwork accounted for" he answered

"Then why are you here?"

"To escort you back" he answered as I sighed

Walking it was pleasant nothing hurry to, nothing to rush towards.

"Captain Hatake"

"Hmmm?"

"Are you ready?"

"For what?"

"The war, we've never been at war in centuries" he answered

"I think I was in war when I was alive" I responded

"How can you remember?"

"Don't know, they come from time to time"

Shuhei went silent for a moment.

"The first time I met a Hollow, I was... scared got someone killed" he confessed

I didn't respond right away, fear was a natural thing when encountering an enemy first time. Though the enemy were monsters that ate souls.

"You know why they're called Hollows?"

"No" he answered

"They're devoid of all reason but to eat they've lost themselves... don't remember who they were before"

"Isn't it true that we forget our memories over time?"

"I suppose, but those voids can easily be filled with new ones that's what makes us different"

"KAKASHI!"

Turning we both saw Captain Guy running at full speed. Stopping just before hitting us.

"C-captain Guy, w-what a surprise" I greeted

"Kakashi I challenge you to a match" he announced pointing straight at me

"M-match?"

"Yes, as true rivals we must push each other! So accept!"

I sighed slouching in defeat.

"Like I said..." I spoke looking to Shuhei

"New memories"
