I claim no rights or anything associated with the Bleach series and/or its characters. This story is completely my own idea as it is told from Ichigo's point of view. Some of the characters maybe a bit OC so please don't hate. Please leave me your comments and reviews telling me what you think. Thanks!

Five- training

After speaking with Shiro and Zangetsu, I reopened my eyes to find Kisuke standing there still waiting for my answer. I held out my sword in the same manner as him.

"It's name is Tessa Zangetsu. Kisuke can I ask you a question?" I asked the shop keeper. Kisuke looked at me with a questioned look stretched across his face. "Is it common for something like what I have become to have an inner hollow?"

"I am not certain. Remember you seem to be a mix of a lot of things. I have only heard of vizards having an inner hollow. Vizards happen to be shingami with the power of that of a hollow." replied Kisuke.

"Do you happen to have a mirror? I want to see what I truly look like." I asked.

"Are you certain Ichigo that you want to do that?" asked Kisuke. I knew that my looks have changed as my father's reaction was my first key. I knew that I would be in for a shock but I needed to know. I slowly nodded my head yes. Kisuke reached into his robes producing a mirror as he handed it to me. I took it from him as I carefully studied myself. My hair was a bit longer as my bangs came down to my nose as my hair was still wild and orange in color. My hair rested a bit below my neck as I thought that it looked good on me. On half of my left side of my face sat what looked like a hollow mask as it was white in color with red vivid lines on it. Sticking out of the mask was a single long bull-like horn. My eyes where no longer there normal chocolate brown color as the took on the color and appearance of Shiro's eyes looked like. In the middle of my chest sat a large whole which my outfit partly covered. Tears began to form in my eyes as I no longer looked human anymore. Kisuke walked over taking the mirror from my trembling hand.

"Don't worry Ichigo. I know that things seem bad right now but I promise that your life isn't over as it has only begun." stated Kisuke. I glared at him angrily.

"How can you say that? My body is dead!" I growled as once again in my anger I had released a blast of black and red energy that threw Kisuke back away from me. Kisuke flew heading for a large formation as I thought that he was going to hit it but, Tessai had caught him.

*Calm down King. Remember what your father and Kisuke had said about giving you a gigai body? I know that things may seem bleak right now but we will get through this.* Shiro stated. I slowly began to calm down as the red and black energy dissipated.

"I'm sorry Kisuke." I replied.

"It's no problem Ichigo. At least we know that a part of your power activates when you become angry and enraged. Tessai, can you set up another barrier as we are going to begin with Ichigo's training." stated Kisuke once Tessai had placed him down. Tessai said nothing as he went off to work. "Are you ready Ichigo?" questioned Kisuke as I nodded my head yes as I held my zanpakuto in my hands.

I had found out like most hollows, my skin was as hard as iron or what they called hierro. Most Arrancars had a resurrection form other wised what was known as resurreccion but since my zanpakuto didn't have a release word as it was unsealed, achieving my truest hollow form was going to be much different for me. Like most hollows I could also produce these red balls of energy known as a cero (zero). I moved at a speed much faster than that of a hollow as they called it sonido which meant sound. The shinigami version was known as the flash step. My speed was a cross between the two. Whenever I did get cut, I quickly regenerated healing the wounds. I was able to detect reishi from either shinigami but also hollows. Besides the cero, I could do at least four different attacks with my zanpakuto. The first and most common was the getsuga tensho (moon fang heaven piercer). The second was a more powered up attack which was the same as the first known as kuroi getsuga (black moon fang). My third one was a move was the final attack of the first one that I had learned known as the saigo no getsuga (final moon fang heaven piercer). The most powerful out of all of my attacks was mugetsu (moonless sky). Now that I had a better understanding of what I was and what I could do, I was anxious to return back home.
