Chapter 44: 3 Kings

[What are you doing Ichigo? Finish it]: rukia

Ichigo stood there facing the Hollow who had just called out Orihime's name.

[I-I can't…]: ichigo

[What do you mean!?]: rukia

[I can still feel Orihime's brother… Like he still has his conscious thoughts about his sister]: ichigo

Rukia stood there looking at Ichigo as if he was crazy.

[Ichigo, you're not killing him just sending him to the Soul Society… The longer he stays like this, the more pain you are actually putting on him, help him pass on, finish the fight]: rukia

Ichigo was contemplating on what he should do, it was at this moment that Orihime softly mumbled something in her unconscious state.

[B-bro-ther, It's okay… I can-]: orihime

Orihime then stopped mumbling, when Ichigo heard this he became more resolute in his decision.

[I will save you Sora… HA!]: ichigo

Ichigo raised his Zanpakuto and rushed towards the Hollow. Ichigo then jumped up and put all his force into slicing down towards the Hollow cleaving the Mask clean in half.

[ORAHAAAAARGGG]: hollow

The Hollow let out a loud screech before turning into a black mist and disappearing into thin air.

[I'm sorry Orihime… I couldn't save Sora]: ichigo

Ichigo sheathed his Zanpakuto on his back and walked over to Rukia and Orihime.

[Ichigo, there was nothing you could do… once someone becomes a Hollow there is no return. The only way to save a Hollow is to break it's mask and in doing so send it to Soul Society]: rukia

[What is Soul Society anyway? That Masked man who took Soren said something about it]: ichigo

[Soul Society is a place where all souls reside, and to protect them Soul Reapers live there as well. Our task is to take out Hollows and send wandering souls to Soul Society before they become Hollows… Once a Hollow has it's mask broken it becomes a pure soul again and is in turn sent to Soul Society]: rukia

With Rukia's words Ichigo was a little bit more at ease knowing that he had made Sora's life better. A couple of days passed and Ichigo was getting stronger and stronger, on Soren's side he was now reaching his destination.

{HOST IS NOW 3km FROM DESTINATION}

[Finally… I was starting to wonder if I was ever going to make it to this place… Time to fight someone strong]: soren

As Soren came up to a castle looking building he could feel the power emanating from it, and around the building it looked like it could be a barrier. All the Hollows refused to get closer than they were, as Soren got to the area that divided Hollow filled ground to open space, he placed his hand through.

[Ha?... There's no barrier, then why do these Hollows stay on this side?... Maybe they are afraid to cross?]: soren

What Soren didn't know was his guess was completely right. All the Hollows knew they were no match for the being that lay inside that area so they stay far enough away where they feel safe.

[I guess I should go in then… I wonder how strong this Hollow is]: soren

As Soren crossed the threshold between open ground and Hollow fill ground he could feel more pressure being placed on him, and as he went deeper into the area the pressure only got stronger and stronger. Soren is suppressing his Aura to the utmost as to not scare away any Hollows, so this pressure is being placed on Soren's body entirely yet Soren does not even shake.

[This is quite the pressure that this Hollow gives off]: soren

A grin appeared on Soren's face as he started to let out his own pressure.

[Come to me!… HAHAHA!]: soren

Soren started to laugh maniacally, some would say that being alone in this world with only Hollows and his System made him go crazy.

[Come to Daddy my Son!]: soren

It was at this moment that one could say that he has gone crazy. Soren then pulled out his Zanpakuto and called its name.

[Come to me Uchiha's Wrath]: soren

The blade began to light on fire with lightning running through it, the fire was Black and the Lightning was coursing through the fire like a heartbeat.

[This is sooo cool!... My Zanpakuto has 2 Shikai releases]: soren

Soren's Zanpakuto has 2 Shikai releases being Uchiha's Wrath and Susanoo, Soren has not unlocked his Bankai though.

[Sakura, how long until I can use my Bankai?]: soren

{SYSTEM CAN'T TELL HOST BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DOES NOT KNOW EITHER… THE (Bankai Release) IS ALL DEPENDANT ON WHEN THE HOST ZANPAKUTO FEELS IT'S TIME TO GIVE IT TO HOST}

[So I have to wait until Sasuke feels it's time to give me his Bankai huh?... well for now let's take out this Hollow]: soren

As Soren felt a sudden movement from his release pressure that was mixed with Observation Haki. In that next second Soren blocked to the left as a hand with long claws came towards him.

[Ho, so this is how you fight huh? Sneak attacks?]: soren

[Human? Hollow?... How? How do you have the presence of both?]: ???

[You can speak? Never mind...None of your business, just fight me]: soren

The Hollow then jumped back from his first failed attack and gave Soren a nasty snarl.

[Human or Hollow, what are you?]: hollow

Soren had a grin appear on his face and then responded.

[I am neither, but I guess if I had to pick one I would say Human]: soren

The Hollow was confused, he couldn't tell what Soren meant by "neither" it was one or the other.

[Impudent! You have no Hellish Aura and your Human Aura is not completely Human either, it is mixed with a Hollow… So I ask again what are you? And if you choose not to say I will kill you]: hollow

[You said it's mixed yes? Then you have your answer… Like I said earlier, I am neither Human nor Hollow but a Mix]: soren

[Impossible!... Hollow's can't reproduce so How?]: hollow

[Enough of 20 questions let's fight, if you win I will tell you how]: soren

The Hollow heard this and then launched towards Soren, once Soren seen this he brought his blade up to guard. Once the Hollow's claws made contact with Soren's blade the Lightning Flame began to crawl up the Hollow's hand, the Hollow then broke off from Soren and put out the flame with his other hand.

[So you could tell huh? You really are strong then]: soren

[Petty tricks will never work on me Human, I'm one of the 3 Kings, King Zorin]: zorin
