    The warm and fluffy blanket wasn't covering him anymore so the sunlight disturbed his sleep. He woke up, growled and looked around. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Urahara looking at him with a creepy smirk on his face. The teen didn't want to know what that guy was thinking.
      ' Are you alright?', Kisuke asked smiling at the confused teen. 'You know, it's not healthy for you to sleep with your face covered with a blanket.', he added with a worried voice.
    Ichigo yawned and scratched his head then he said with a grumpy voice that he was fine. He threw himself in bed and pulled the blanket back. For God's sake, he just wanted to sleep! What was so hard to understand?
    But Urahara didn't leave him alone.
      'Ne, Kurosaki-san, was I interrupting something? Like some perverted dream..? I'm sorry if I did interrupt you.', Kisuke teased Ichigo who was blushing hard under the blanket.
    He really did have a pervy dream. How did Urahara know about that? 'Of course he doesn't know, moron!', he thought trying to calm down his crazy heartbeat. Ichigo uncovered himself.
      'No. It's...it's just that I am tired.' he said and he wasn't really lying. 'So what's the matter?', he asked trying to change the subject.
      'Well, Soul Society wants you back. But not now. Tomorrow. That's why today I want you to patrol around. Say, did anything weird happen lately?', Kisuke said with a curious gaze in his eyes, showing that he was finally serious.
    If anything weird happened? Hell, yes! Everything was weird! Ichigo nodded then sighed.
      'Yesterday the shadow came in my room. I was half asleep, and he entered through the window.' Ichigo said with a distressed look on his face then he stopped. He wasn't sure whether to tell Urahara about the perverted part, but he did in the end.
      'I see.' the man said with a solemn voice. 'That shadow. You said it was a males' one? Is the same as that one you saw in park a few days ago?
      'Yeah. That's true. Who do you think it is? Is someone Aizen sent?', Ichigo said with a worried look.
      'There's no doubt he is someone Aizen sent. But why did the shadow let you go? Why didn't he take you with him while you were asleep if he wanted you to come? Maybe because he to show us that he can do it anytime or to remind us that they are always watching us. Anyway, tomorrow you will be gone. So all you have to do is to be careful while patrolling.', the man said and disappeared.
      'How rude', the teen murmured and let a sigh slip.
    He was so busy lately, although hollows didn't show up in the past days. Honestly, he preferred the hollows instead of the pervy shadow, but it couldn't be helped.
    Ichigo turned in his spiritual form and shunpoed out of the room. It was another sunny day and that almost pissed him. That perfect sunlight, the happy people he saw walking on the clean streets, everything seemed so fake. It pissed him off. A lot.
    He stopped in a café where he felt a trace of strange reiatsu. But it was already gone when he entered the café. The orangette sighed and left. So the shadow was following him! Maybe the shadow fell in love with him. Ichigo stopped.
    His face was bright red, and he covered his mouth with a trembling hand. What if the person that kissed him on his forehead was actually the shadow? But he was in Soul Society back then. There was no way for the shadow to go there. Still…
   The teen had another shocking revelation. It had to be the shadow the one who kissed him. He remembered he felt a vaguely hollow reiatsu. No it wasn't really a hollow. It was a strange reiatsu and resembled a lot the shadow's reiatsu. He really was in big trouble.
    His attention was distracted when he saw the new girl in his class walking towards him. At first he thought that she could see him, that she was going to talk to him, but she just passed through him as if he was a ghost. He sighed disappointed. It was true. Normal people couldn't see him in that form. That reminded him how lonely he felt without his friends. Ichigo knew it was the best thing, to keep them safe, but he missed them so much!
    He sighed and disappeared.

      'I'm bored. How long are we goin' ta hide?', a man said with an irritated voice.
      'Just a little longer',the other said calmly drinking his tea as if nothing happened.
    But the man didn't have time to wait. He was sick of it. All he wanted to do was to reveal himself.
      ''m goin', he said andh stood up.
    But before he could go the other stopped him by grabbing his arm with force. He looked at him annoyed.
      'Don' try ta stop me!', he shouted and tried to release his arm.
      'You won't go anywhere until I say otherwise! You won't go to him',the other hissed.
      'Ya jealous? That's something. If ya want me that bad then I'll stay with ya.' he teased the other who was looking at him with a calm face.

                                             *************************

    It was a dark night and Ichigo was on his way home when he heard a girl screaming. He searched for her with his eyes narrowed and when he saw her he shunpoed there.
    He couldn't see who she was but all Ichigo knew was that the shadow was pointing a katana at her neck. Ichigo didn't think twice and jumped with his Zanpakutou at the shadow. But the shadow stopped him without even looking at him.
      'Useless!', the shadow said with his calm voice.
    The orangette didn't mind him and shunpoed behind the shadow wanting to cut his head off with his big Zanpakutou. But the shadow stopped his Zanpakutou with just one finger before it could even touch his head.
      'I told you it's useless.'the shadow said.
    Then the moon appeared from behind the clouds and lighted the town. Ichigo widened his eyes in shock. The girl he was going to protect was Aoi! That bastard was picking on his friends!
      'Bastard!', he said and wanted to attack the shadow again but he stopped him just like before. With only one finger. What the…?
      'You are brainless. I told you it's useless to fight against me. If you want to protect her, then come with me. You don't want your friends to get involved in dangerous stuff, right?', the shadow said and grabbed Ichigo's Zanpakutou and threw it away before the teen could even react.
    The shadow grabbed Ichigo's arms in just one hand, and with the other hand he was pressuring the teen's neck.
      'You understand, don't you? I'm more powerful than you! Give up!'.
      'Like I care!', the teen murmured and eliberate himself.
    The teen eliberate a part of his reiatsu to search for his Zanpakutou and he found it. But before he could shunpo to it, the shadow was already stabbing him in his stomach.
      'What…?', Ichigo said shocked.
      'You don't seem to understand. I said that you have no chance against me.', the shadow said and took the zanpakutou out of the teen's body.'It could have been your heart, not your stomach. I don't understand you. You met her yesterday, yet you are ready to give up on your life for her. You sure are stupid.', the shadow said looking at the teen's Zanpakutou.
      'So what? She is my friend. And even if she wasn't she is human. She is innocent! Of course I will protect her!', Ichigo said pissed.
      'How will you do that? Your Zanpakutou is here. In my hands.', the shadow said.
      'Then all I have to do is to take it from you.',the orangette replied.
    What happened next happened so fast that he could barely see something. The shadow moved very fast and pushed Ichigo making him falling on the ground. The shadow was staying with one of his feet on the teen's chest with his Zanpakutou pointing at his heart. He stabbed once. But before he could do it twice the Zanpakutou disappeared from his hands. The one who was holding it was the hollowed Ichigo. He fastly transformed in Bankai and started to laugh.
      'Whadda hell, Ichigo? Ya get killed so easy?', a hoarse voice said.
      'Who are you?', the shadow asked.
      'Me? No one! He didn't give meh a name! He really sucks, doesn't he?',he said.
      'That mask. I see. So you are his hollow. Disgusting! A hollow protecting what it is supposed to destroy.',the shadow said and disappeared.
      'Coward!', the hollow said and looked at the girl.
    Now he was going to kill her. She was trying to steal his precious strawberry from him. He was prepared to die there for her. How stupid! Why the hell did he act so slow during the battle? The opponent wasn't a big deal.The Hollow looked in the girls' eyes and his eyes widenes in surprise. He was poiting Zangetsu to the girls chest but before he could kill her, Ichigo started to remove the mask.
      'What the hell is wrong with you?', Ichigo shouted with half of his mask on his face.
      'Partner, listen ta me. She ain't what ya think! She is…' but Ichigo didn't let him end his phrase and removed the mask completely.
    He took the girl that fainted and went to her home where he let her. He shunpoed to his home, but he remained on the rooftop and stared at the dark sky the rest of the night, searching for strange reiatsu. He had enough. Everyone tried to kill his friends because of him. Maybe he should have gone with the shadow. He sighed. He really had enough.
