The inner hollow looked around Ichigo’s inner world, rubbing his hands together almost gleefully, that old man Zangetsu was no where to be seen, this was perfect for him, the hollow had been planning this for quite some time, not only did he know what Ichigo knew and his powers but that also extended to Zangetsu himself, and all zanpakuto spirits knew how to manifest themselves in the real world, but he had taken this trait and twisted it into some more fitting for his own needs, all was calm, dark and deathly silent in the sideway world meaning that Ichigo was sound a sleep, now was the perfect time.
Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes and begin to concentrate, gathering his reiatsu slowly at first before, like mist in a box, found the cracks in his person and began to slip through them, he scowled for a second as he felt it her harder as he pushed towered the edge, but he pushed on and soon he felt the release the point of brake through where there was nothing holding him back, he opened his eyes and blinked when he did not see the sideways buildings of his old home, but the walls of Ichigo’s bedroom.
He had done it, Shirosaki Hichigo, Ichigo’s inner monster was now free!
A insane grin broke out across his face, his body shook as he withheld a chuckle in his chest, rolling his shoulders he could feel his version of Zangetsu on his back, he then turned his black and yellow eyes to the sleeping Ichigo, his former King, how easy it would be to slit his throat right now but the hollow knew better then to do that, kill him out here and he would most likely die as well, it seemed a bit anti-climatic but that did not matter, he was free.
It was a warm night so Ichigo had left his window open, making it even more perfect for the hollow, fate was with him tonight, with one swift movement he jumped over the bed and onto the window ledge taking one last glance back before he dropped out the window, landing silently in the ground below before he shunpo’d off into the night.
