You'd be a fool not to! (Ichigo)

[shinji]

''So you come to your senses then?''

An old abandoned warehouse was the home to 6 strange beings, beings that would never really show themselves unless need be. Never interfering or getting involved with many things keeping themselves to themselves and concentrating more on a matter that meant everything to this group, sanity.

It was the one word they lived by, hoped and held onto something they aimed for in their much deprived lives. For they each were something you should never cross, something that is unspoken and pittied, something that is thought of as the darker side of being a shinigami. They were shinigami, were once those proud and honourous beings that fought for pride and noble families that exsist in Soul Society. The very place that birthed them and spat them back out again turning their backs on them refusing to aid.

Betrayed by Aizen former captain of 5th Division let them down, turned them into the monsterous begins known as hollow, yes we are hollow, we are Vizards.

The warehouse in which we take hideout is filled with the cold sounds of the wind whisteling through the thinning wood thay holds this place together, it seems so unlived in yet something more interesting goes on in here.

''Klitching!''
A cold blade struck the floor ringing through the warehouse the noise so sudden it caused birds to fly up and away the flapping of their wings streaming through before nothing, silence.
''...Keh!...'' a sly voice escaped from a blonde haired male, tall but not too tall, wearing a brown paperboy style cap it cleverly covered one of his eyes as he peered out from underneath it his half upturned grin allowing sight of his large teeth. The sun hit his pale skin but only small rays of sunlight that seemed to poke through any tiny gap in this wore down old warehouse.

''So you come to your senses then?.....Nice of you to join us, Ichigo''

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

''Ive been over this, too many times in my head how could i really join them?'' How could he really give in to these guys, he couldnt even think of a good reason so far. Ever since he first encountered his hollows possesion he had been battling through, more like struggling through having this hollow the sum of all his fears manifested into this the route of all his despair was in his hollow. He had never really spoken about it not told anyone how it felt what it was like living with him. He had always put up with it he knew he was there just rather wanted to forget and be ordinary.

Not telling anyone ended Ichigo in having many thoughts in his mind, bottling it all telling himself it would never get better only worse, and it had got increasingly worse to the point where it interfered with his job in saving his friends, stopping any movements Ichigo would have in order to switch places and take over to kill pointlessly. His hollow insisted he was the better one being he should be in charge and Ichigo should be in his position, telling him how he lacked a killer instinct to get rid of his enemies. Ichigo hated him, hated not being in control and if he really did be honest he felt just like a monster would, a protector doesnt act that way, someone who protects doesnt have any evil in him just a needless will to save anyone you can, thats not me it never will be.

It had landed him to Vizards, a group of people who knew what it was like, how it felt to be at the other end of sanity. Shinji had told him he was one of them the same and that he was not the only one.

Ichigo had walked around Karakura aimlessly thinking hard on his next move to join them not really knowing what their intentions or goals really are or leave his hollow to get worse if it could that was. This place was a little odd, it looked like it as worn and old but it seemed to be their home anyway. Ichigo heard the sound of the blade Shinji struck the ground with he didnt react just scowled at him even after hearing the birds all fly off. It went quiet again before Shinji;s voice echoed a bit.

''So you come to your senses then?.....Nice of you to join us, Ichigo''

''Tch....if you say so''

[shinji]

Shinji's half grin grew even wider ''Haha'' he chuckled ''You always that rude to a guy whose gonna help ya out?'' he spoke before he jumped down from a high platform and stood a distance in front of Ichigo watching him. ''Youre a sight for sore eyes...look at ya you've given up hope your a broken man really under all that''
Shinji knew what he was talking about, he remebered when he first had his hollow, boy it was difficult work everyday seeming like your sanity was being taken over bit by bit. You didnt feel pure like you had someone else running your life in a way you wouldnt want it. ''You see i know what its like, ive been there ive had to struggle like you did'' he said.
''It plays on your mind, they play with your mind making you doubt yourself hunting you down until there will be no more of you left''
''There's something though...you wanna carry on looking out for your friends...you can think again if you dont get this hollow under control it will swallow you up!'' he said firmly. ''So i guess you've agreed to join us if youre here...we'll teach ya how to keep that hollow under control and you know what kind of huge power a hollow can have...it can be your as well as your shinigami powers if ya just listen to me and follow what i say, alright?'' he said waiting for Ichigo's answer.
''If you dont then we cant help you...if you dont take care of it now then things will get nasty and you'll probably turn on your friends next''

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked at Shinji his scowl still ever permanant hearing his complaints how he shoud be nice to someone who was helping him. ''Helping me! my ass you just wanna recruit me into your group and tear me away from all like i got with Soul Socety'' he snapped though he sighed afterwards.

Ichigo was here for one reason only, to get control over his hollow once and for all, he couldnt take it no more he couldnt keep letting him get control everytime he got into a major fight. Even if he rejected his orders to switch with him he'd cause trouble making sure he'd feel the pain of not chooding to let him defeat his enemies. Ichigo's complcated honour meant that he did not want anyone to fight his battles and if his hollow caused any injuries then it wasnt really his victory it was his hollows, so maybe after all this he could use all that power his hollow has to his advantage, he couldnt imagine what it would be like but he couldnt stand him getting in his way.

''I know, thats why ive come to you...i never go to anyone for help...but this time i'll admit im completely in the dark when it comes to ''Vizards''
''Let's get started already i dont have time for messin around'' he added.

[shinji]

Shinji blinked looking to Ichigo ''Umm thats right you are recruited into our group because you are one of us, we dont ick and choose who we want with us we just take in Vizards and give them the help they need'' he said.
He looked round a few more vizards appeared ''They were all the same as you in trouble and unable to keep your sanity but they underwent trainning and well... you can see it for yourself really when we see what your hollow is like and what were dealing with here, i bet he's a dumbass annoyance probably lazy and cant be bothered,,,but we shall see'' he said and then lifted his zanpakuto up. ''Hurry up and get out of your gigai...oh no wait you really are human,,well hurry and get out of that human body of yours and dont forget to use your bankai so your hollow can take over''

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo frowned ''I dont need your help i...'' he began but he stopped and looked around seeing more and more Vizards appearing. ''How many are there? he questionned. It was hard to beleive somene knew and could explain to him what he should be doing even though he said he didnt need help he knew he really did need alot of it and he had come to the right place.

''Alright alright...i need some guidance in this whole vizard thing but its just weird to think im a..Vizard'' he said frowning it didnt sund like something god but it was what he was.
''Fine lets just get this trainning out the way so i can get back to my usual'' he said and then pulled out his shinigami badge and used it to seperate from his human and very much alive body. ''Bring it! you think you can tame my hollow then do it!'' he grinned.

[shinji]

Shinji smirked at Ichigo as he said he didnt need their help ''Trust me...in this part of finding yourself you need some aid more than ever...you dont have a clue how to control a hollow so we'll teach ya in return we expect you to be an ally of ours alright?'' he said then looked at Hiyori another Vizards who seemed younger than the others but boy she had a mouth on her. Shinji gave a nod to Hiyori who then flew at Ichigo her zanpakuto at the ready to strike him down. Hiyori then pulled her hand to her face and a glow of reiatsu began to appear in the centre summoning a white hollow mask into her face. Her eyes changed to a dark black and her pupils turned a clear white as she smiled. ''You better get your head in gear Ichigo, show me the hollow then...come on lets see who were up agasint'' she said.

Shinji watched on and seemed to have a thoughtful look on his face as he watched Ichigo. ''Its very strange isnt it'' came the voice of another Vizard named Hachii, he was a large fellow but he was very wise. ''Dont sneak up on me like that!'' Shinji exclaimed before sighing and looking back at Ichigo. ''...He is...im still dont know how he gained his hollow...its not the same way we got ours i know that...when his hollow shows we will see, put up another barrier round the warehouse Hachii'' he said as he turned and sat down further back but still with Ichigo in his sight.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked at Shinji a not too happy look on his face as he said he needed as much help as he could get for his hollow, which was true but he just hated others being right especially when it came to something like this. ''Fine...'' Ichigo sighed boredly and then see a female Vizard show herself and Shini giving her the nod, what did he just tell her to do?

Before he knew it she had run at him and had a zanpakuto from nowwhere ''shit'' Ichigo cursed before he had to dodge her somehow he made a quick move to the side narrowingly missing her attack but he turned and went to slam Zangetsu onto her from behind. ''Shinji you damn bastard!! you could of warned me she was gonna do that!'' he yelled up to him. Ichigo looked at Hiyori and frowned saying she wanted to see what his hollow was like ''You really think i wanna bring him out! no way im sick of him getting in my way!''

[shinji]

Shinji relaxed back in a chair his feet up and thought ''Hmm what i need is some refreshments now'' he suddenly heard Ichigo's yelling how hw could of warned him. Shinji jumped out of his chair. ''Do you think you get a warning when your hollow will come out and tear everyone apart including your friends!'' he shouted back down. ''Hiyori!!'' he yelled. ''Bring out that hollow of his now!!'' to which Hiyoro snarled and growled at. ''You wanna come down here and say that!!'' she yelled back up.

''Alright kid..'' she said to Ichigo ''If you dont bring out that hollow now then he will kill you...he will take over sooner or later so lets make it sooner then the quicker you can gained more power!'' she told him. ''Aw if youre scared im sure Shinji can hold your hand! man up and face the hollow inside of you!'' she continued tryng to get a reaction, she knew his hollow would have more chance of breaking free if Ichigo was angry. ''You can feel it cant you...your hollow is getting more and more difficult to resist and shove back...he's tempting you with the power he has...if you let him take over he can easily win all of your fights but you'd rather suffer than let him take over!'' she preached to him. ''If you survive through this trainning then you will walk out of here with unimaginable power'' she said before she brought her hand up to her face. ''Unimagnable power like this...for the first tiem Ichigo you'll see just how powerful a Vizard is...and you could have the same if you'd stop being a coward!'' she shreiked and then pulled her hand across her face her spiritual pressure forming and materializing into a wite hollow mask. It looked terrifying and showed Hiyori's inner hollow her eye turned back with her pupils bright white like all the other Vizards did and yet Hiyori still had her sanity talking to Ichigo with her own mind set and not her hollows otherwise she would of been trying to kill Ichigo right now, but she had control.

''You wont last long agasint me if you dont let out your hollow'' she said and appeared behind Ichigo slamming her zanpakuto into his with huge force it made sparks fly and shattered the windows of the warehouse sending glass flying everywhere that some even cut her.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo shot a glare at Hiyori ''Are you nuts! you crazy bitch you tryin ta kill me!'' he snapped at her but he heard Shinji say his ollow wouldnt give him a warning, Ichigo frowned before looking to the floor breifly and then nodded. ''Alright alright...so ill fight this...'' he said and looked at Hiyori. ''Girl...'' he said and then redied Zangetsu to attack her. ''Getsuga Tensho!'' Ichigo said swinging Zangetsu fast and releasing a blue wave of energy at Hiyori, he was interested to see what he could be capable of like the rest of the Vizards.

Ichigo glared at Hiyori as she told him to 'man up'' so she had out it ''Shut your damn trap brat!'' he yelled at her as he ran towards her swiping at her making an uppercut. Ichigo was getting angered by all what she was saying his short temper and little patience meant his anger switch could be flipped easy. Ichigo hollow of course used Ichigo's anger to his advantage and it made it easier for him to take over. Ichigo paused and had to stop and think because he could hear his hollow's eeire voice demanding he switched places and let him kick Hiyori about. ''Damn...he's already here'' Ichigo thought as he held the side of his head shutting his eyes tightly trying to block him out but it was a real sturggle trying to force him back as if he'd gotten stronger and Ichigo had gotten weaker. Ichigo suddenly opened his eyes revealing the black and yellow hollow eyes he had when control was being shifted to him. Ichigo looked up hearing Hiyori say how she knew the hollow was becoming more and more difficult to hold back. ''Damn...'' Ichigo growled in frustration his hollow was shoving him out of control and he couldnt nothing about it he couldnt stop him. Ichigo looked seeing Hiyori's hollow mask form on her face when she materialised her spirirt energy there. ''What?...how can she even do that!'' he thought. Beofe anything else she disappeared and then reapped behind him, she was fast, really fast and he had little time to react he just attempted to block her attack as best he could but was sent crashing to the ground. Ichigo sat there and complained for a secind before he realise all these shards of glass from the windows flew about and hit him. Ichigo stood up afterwards and looked to the small cuts made on hsi body. ''Bitch, im gonna kill ya!'' he yelled up at her before he commanded another getsuga tensho and sent it flying upwards towards the roof where she was and then flash stepped out of her sight.
