Prologue
Ichigo sat back and watched Renji wolf down Orihime’s newest attempt at cooking. From the looks on Chad’s and Rukia’s faces they couldn’t believe that Renji hadn’t died of food poisoning. When Renji started turning colors and foaming at the mouth everyone felt better. Orihime’s cooking left something to be desired after all.
‘Hey King’ came a low hiss from Shiro ‘there are hollows near here. We should go have some fun.’ It was still strange to hear his hollow’s voice and not immediately be on the defensive, wondering if he would have to fight for control of his body again. They had reached an understanding though, and hopefully the fight for dominance was permanently postponed. Besides, as long as he kept his end of the bargain, he got to use Shiro’s full powers and form. He was not telling Urahara that though, he had no desire to be experimented on.
‘Yeah, we can go take care of the hollows. Though I have the sneaking suspicion that you’re just hungry,’ Ichigo replied. "Hey guys, I’ll see you later. I’ve got hollows to kill." After a chorus of "stay safe"’s and an oddly knowing look from Chad, he was off hunting hollows.
He could feel Shiro shifting in the back of his mind and Zangetsu thrumming with anticipation of the fight to come. The excitement spread through him and he was moving quicker until he reached a cluster of hollows.
Ichigo took a deep breath and began the shift into his new fully hollow form. He had to use it to get used to it after all. There was an uncomfortable feeling of stretching followed by the shifting of his human flesh into something far harder and colder. There was an odd twinge in the area his soul chain used to be, and he braced just before the Hunger hit. For a moment it was all consuming and he wanted nothing more than to feed. Then the hunger faded, not gone but greatly reduced and so manageable.
He opened his eyes and fell upon the weak beings that stood before him. They were nothing to his strength and in moments he had consumed them all.

Meanwhile, from the top of a building, an Espada with blue hair and a penchant for violence watched with disbelieving eyes as the scene below played out. Turning he opened a gargantua and returned to Hueco Mundo with the intention of telling Aizen of this new development.
