Hollow's Counterattack Anime Shrink Interactive chapter 15 by copier · original author: tinylelouch

Ichigo felt his heart rate go up at the sight of Hinamori's angered face. A mere flick of her wrist, maybe a flapping of her tongue, wiggling of her toes, anything would essentially end his life and the giantess was more than angered enough to do all of them. He had to reason with her, "Come on Momo, calm down. I didn't realize you were this sensitive. I'm sorry."

Momo's face showed a flicker of the gentle girl within, but that was all that appeared, a flicker, instantly it vanished and became replaced with the angered woman who held the shrunken boy. "Don't lie to me! You're only apologizing because you know I can crush you under my foot like a bug!"

Hearing the simile a mental image of Ichigo beneath Hinamori's sole entered his mind, needless to say it was far from pleasant. His mind and conscience told him to try to reason and calm down the girl, survival instinct on the other hand said to use Zangetsu to cut and run. Ichigo shook that idea away immediately, he may have barely known her but Hinamori was a friend and her mental condition was not his fault, it was Aizen's. Thanks to the manipulative bastard Hinamori was essentially a bundle of nerves, anything she did couldn't really be blamed on her. A familiar sensation gripped the Shinigami's heart, a feeling darker than any anger the bigger Shinigami could ever grasp, the feeling of a hollow.

"What are you sitting around for dumbass?! Slice her fingers than go for the throat!!"

Ichigo cringed, his face pointed straight down so it was no longer in sight; he didn't want Hinamori to see his hollow attempt to take over. "Stay out of this! She's my friend!"

"Who needs friends?! All you need is power!!"

Gritting his teeth Ichigo shook his head, "No! I refuse to let you take over!"

Warily Hinamori eyed the Shinigami between her fingers, he almost looked like he was getting possessed, not to mention his Spiritual Pressure was fluctuating wildly. "What are you d-" Was all Hinamori managed to get out before it happened.

"GAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!" The Shinigami's face moved back into view, covering half of it was the striped mask of a hollow. Screaming like a madman Ichigo swung Zangetsu at Hinamori's fingers, successfully drawing blood equivalent to a bad paper cut. Her Shinigami training kicking in Hinamori leapt back and reached for the Zanpaktou she had placed beside her bed. On the floor a couple feet from her was Ichigo who landed safely from his fall, still grinning insanely.

He pointed his blade towards the sky, "GETSUGA TENSHOU!!!!!" Instantaneously the blue discharge of Ichigo's Spiritual Energy formed an energy wave directed at Hinamori, specifically her left foot. It was roughly the size of a piece of paper so Hinamori dodged it fairly easily, but it made contact with one of her discarded sandals and Momo saw the power behind the attack, in a sudden explosion that one Getsuga Tenshou destroyed both her sandals and severely marked the corner of the room.

The giantess looked back at the Hollow/Shinigami with apparent fear, no less than a minute ago she had all the power and now it seemed the problem had flipped, but combat instincts took over. He was the size of a bug! Hinamori felt that even if he had the strength of ten Captains he still couldn't win that easily. At the very least she could hold out until Ichigo came back to his senses, or she could beat and batter the hollow into submission.

Hollow Ichigo wasted no time in attacking again, still screaming like a mad man he vanished with a Shunpo, reappearing right on Hinamori's shoulder. It was like watching a small blurr move as fast as a Captain but Hinamori managed to keep up enough to successfully block the Hollow's sword strike with her palm, the blade scraped against her skin creating a nice cut. Wincing slightly Hinamori leapt back, the hollowfied Ichigo again landing on the floor with grace.

"God Ichigo sucks. He couldn't come to whip your pansy ass? He deserves to be some girl's pet but since I'd suffer with him I can't let that happen."

Hinamori kept looking at Ichigo with wariness and evident fear. He was so small that she...she just couldn't react properly. Her sword was too big to be used for properly blocking his attacks so she had to resort to her own hands but that would ineveitably end in her getting harmed. Not to mention each attack Hinamori would do, while big, would be simple for Ichigo to percieve and dodge. He was the worst kind of enemy Momo could fight in her small room.

The Hollow gripped his sword for another attack, but suddenly he let out a yelp of pain, Zangetsu falling right out of his hands. Ichigo's left hand reached for his face and began attempting to pry off the mask. Momo stared in blank wonder as the inner battle reached its climax. The mask finally came off and crumbled away, Ichigo was back to himself again. He fell to his knees, eyes locked on Hinamori's relatively small but nonetheless present wounds. Guilt now gripped Ichigo's heart, guilt at harming a friend.

The giantess sheathed her blade and calmly strided her way towards the shrunken Vaizard. She wore an unclear expression, heck her mind wasn't clear at that point. Did the hollow's appearance forgo forgiveness or was Hinamori even madder? Even she wasn't sure...
