Ichigo did as Luna has advised him, he first has gone straight. He looked angry and he didn’t hide it too good, the guests raised their eyebrows and whispered among themselves. They commented his look and how his expression from kind, and gentle changed to cold and angry. Ichigo then turned left and found the narrow hallway Luna talked about

He went along the small narrow hallway until he saw the restroom meant for stallions that was painted with blue, beside that door there was a pink door probably meant for the mares. Ichigo by accident stepped into some toilet paper that was laying on the ground, he didn’t notice it. Ichigo grabbed the door handle and entered.

The smell of a dirty toilet. And shit laying around just like in a public toilet was in the air, however Ichigo wasn’t surprised by this. The walls were deep blue color and there were four sinks. Each sink had a mirror above them, and opposite the sinks there were the lavatories separated by a door. Just like in every public toilet there were pisuars three in a row separated one and a half meter away from each other with a very tall plank in between the distance of each other.

The of course the slats were in the shape of waves, and the taps looked like snail shells. Each mirror was also more fancy due to the very shining ,and sometimes when you glance at it, fringes that were made of gold with small precious stones in them. Ichigo stood before one, and slammed his hands in to the sink causing it to crack and fall on the ground.

“What the HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?”

Ichigo shouted letting amount his fury and anger at his hollow deep In his head and soul, the hollow didn’t even dare to come and respond. Ichigo was angry and his reiatsu slowly impacted with the physical world, causing the mirrors next to Ichigo to slightly shiver because of his presence. His hair messy and some strands of hair were in front of his face.

„Seriously! I ask you right fucking now! What the fuck are you thinkin’ about?!” He yelled

Ichigo looked at himself in the mirror, with this he knew he looked at the hollow also Mūnroau would have to answer in a moment or so. He won’t leave this matter alone, he has enough of this. First this thing wants him to get laid, then he turns lewd and now he is slowly turning into him! His personality is effected by him!

“What is wrong with you? You try to be funny? You aren’t! Your chance of being funny is just as high like the chance of taking over, because very time I whoop your ass!” Ichigo barked at Mūnroau

Nothing, his hollow didn’t answer. Ichigo was again angry and emotions of sadness and regret he even allowed himself to be taken to this world begin to feel up his mind. The dam that hold all that agony since he got here broke, he started to breath more violently and his heart rate incurred very much.

Ichigo took his hand, he turned it into a fist and slammed the wall. The wall cracked and the wall didn’t have enough hardness. The concrete and bricks broke. While a shockwave that was send tore the paint on the walls apart. Cracks appeared on the celling and parts of it fell almost at Ichigos head. Ichigo breathed hardly while his hand was stuck in the wall.

The damage he caused, made the pipes bend slightly and some screws gave over and water started to pour out of them, slowly a small pond formed under Ichigo, and he himself was about to break and cry to let out his emotions. He held them since he arrived, he wanted back to Karakura town, he wanted back his friends, he wanted to see what happened with Aizen.

“Why did I do to have this? I thought I did good…” He said and slowly tears appeared in his eyes

He dropped to his knees, when his knees impacted with the small pond of water underneath him, he plashed the water further away and some reached his jacket. From Ichigos right eye a tear formed and it grew bigger and bigger. Until one moment where the tear was big enough, and was heavy enough to go down his cheek.

Ichigo at first didn’t sob, and he tried not to, but with time he gave in and his sadness overtook him, more tears went down his cheek. More tears formed and slowly he could feel how his eyes are being more and more wet. He also when he opened his eyes to then quickly close them, could feel how his eyelashes became heavier through tears.

His memories started to invade his mind and he saw his friends again, he saw Rukia, sometimes kicking him or beating him for being just herself and for him doing something, anything really. He will miss her very much. He will miss everyhting, from the bunnies to lessons on what is what, and how do things work.

“Rukia…I’ll miss you”

He then saw chad, he was a good friend, he helped in a lot I his struggles and he never let hi down, he was there with Orhime and Ishida almost all the time, he will remember these school days and how thy fought with hollows or how he helped. Like that one time when Shuren kidnapped his sisters and he had to almost destroy hell to save Yuzu.

“Chad…”

He remind himself of Orihime, this was a very good friend of his, he will always remember how he had to save her. From Ulquiorra, where he also had died, and his hollow took over of his body. How he played with her on the playground, how she tried to borrow his bucket and he said no. These memories and much more actually made him smile.

“Orihime…”

He reminded himself of the Quincy named Ishida, at first he met him when both with Rukia they wanted to find a hollow. He remembers how he declared he hates him because he is a Shinigami, and how he hates all Shinigami. With time of course thy became friends, good friends. Maybe even best friends to the end of their lives. He wouldn’t be surprised if he betrayed anyone to help him if he did the right thing. And the same would he do for him.

“Ishida…Our friendships started when we killed those hollows” Ichigo said to himself an sniffed

Then there was Renji, he will always have a place in his heart. Maybe they didn’t get along at first, but they did get along alter. Thy fought and there was blood spilled with their attacks, Renji lost to him and then he came for an second round and he lost again. He begged him to save Rukia because she about to be executed. From there, only in the matter of time the world would make them friends.

“Renji Abarai…I’m gonna miss you”

Ichigo had his hands on the sink, he still was crying and he still waited until his hollow will answer. He was getting annoyed with him not coming, he wanted to go back and maybe help Luna out, but she will see something happened. She will ask him, and he can’t just say he doesn’t want to talk or else she will think it’s because of her.

‘King’

Ichigo stopped and his eyes opened wide, he stood up quickly an looked into the mirror with a really angry expression. Ichigo wanted to tell him what he thinks of all those things, he wants to tell him that he hates him. He would rather die and risk waking up with no power, or even never waking up then to live without his family an friends.

“Finally!” He yelled and wiped his tears away” Come here I want to see you, don’t make go to you!” Ichigo said and turned, and looked for Mūnroau.

Ichigo then saw how in front of him the hollow white mass has appeared and it took the shape of Mūnroau. He stood there simply with this stupid mask and big horns. How could he even dare to talk to him! He has so much pain and he harmed him so much, he cant even imagine how much he could have gained without his hollow.

“What is wrong with you! Tell me right now what did I do to deserve this?!” He said and was right in front of his hollow

‘You did nothing’ Mūnroau answered

“Exactly! I did nothing wrong, I never harmed you as you did harm me. Why did you even leave a part of yourself in me?! To see me here in pain and to take advantage of my state? To have an life? Guess what it didn’t fucking work!” Ichigo turned away and punched the wall that cracked even more then before

‘I did this for both of us a-‘

Ichigo then opened his jacket and ponied at the hollow hole in his chest. It was as big as when he lost control. No tattoos or any other markings on his body were there only this hole, on his well-built chest. He then took one big step towards his hollow. He was very angry and he would gladly do something to him, however he isn’t him and he doesn’t use violence as much as his hollow.

“This is for both of us?!” He yelled

Mūnroau just stared

“Answer me!”

Mūnroau said nothing

Ichigo stared deeply into Mūnroau’s eyes, these golden eyes. He hates them! These golden eyes are going to drive him crazy! He could take his sword and kill himself because there is a chance he might awake back in Karakura and not here, he has nothing here then some reputation he has earned back when he defeated the changelings.

“I need you to survive? Ehh? Right? Zangestu at least wanted the best for me and yo-“

‘Stop mentioning him! You know shit King, if not me you would have died millions of times!’ Mūnroau Yelled at Ichigo

“Really? You know what I know? That you need to stop with this King bullshit you do not even deserve to serve any monarch!”

‘Stop bitchin’ around, if not me your precious friends would be hoes on the left and right side of the street under Aizen!’ Mūnroau got closer this time, they were both face to face

Ichigo backed away, Mūnroau now did the worst move ever. He insulted his friends he loved and he respected. He risked his life for them, he did everything for them and he will protect them even in this twisted pony world. Ichigo took his Zampakutou and this time he aimed it at Mūnroau. He had enough now, this was a fight

“You did a very wrong move, take that back or else I w-“

‘Do shit you will do! You wouldn’t dare fight here, I know you good King! You wont harm those things on the other side of the wall? Will you?’ Mūnroau replied

He didn’t want to admit it, but he was right even if he doesn’t care anymore and he could end his life as he has lost everything! Even his mothers grave and the possibility to go there…He has lost his soul, he has lost Zangestu and he has lost his meaning in life! But he cant harm innocent, he cant do this. And he won’t.

Ichigo hand shook, he looked away and more tears went down and dropped on the floor that joined the water from the pipes that’s till was purring out of them. Ichigo didn’t have his Zampakutou any longer in the air aimed at Mūnroau. Even if he probably shod have aimed it at him, and do anything to show he has strength and to show his emotions.

“What did I do to deserve this?” Ichigo asked him “Just tell me why do you have to destroy every possible good memory I try to create now?”

Mūnroau sighted and looked at Ichigo, behind his mask he wasn’t happy or sad, he had his face emotionless he didn’t even have a smirk. He honestly was hurt by what Ichigo said, he did wrong and he did do right, he wants Ichigo to be strong as he needs him to survive. He needs to devour him, or else he will be weak.

‘Listen, you were taught that we hollows are like animals. An animal doesn’t trust just things from the beginning because of instinct that says better not be with them for now, they might be dangerous. I do for the instinct King, or else we might get used by them if they find out what we can do’ He explained

Ichigo just stared and nodded to himself sarcastically, because everything wants to use them as they are the most powerful being in the universe right now. There are more powerful things right now in the universe, especially this one. He is on the top of the food chain of course, he needs to be there. Ichigo doesn’t care and he won’t care

“And your wonderful way is to destroy every moment I have with them to have no pleasure and not have them as friends? Splendid idea!” Ichigo said ironically

‘You don’t understand-‘

“You do not understand what I mean!” He then showed him the Zampakutou “If there is a small chance I will return to Karakura even If I take my life away or If I loose my powers again…Then know that I will do it” Ichigo said

‘And?’

“I might even try here, right now”

There was silence there was so much silence that te only sound was their breaths, the water stopped for some reason, the castle plumbers must-have noticed the water was used to much so they cut it out and in ten minutes some will come and try to fix the problem. Mūnroau this time didn’t answer, he now was careful with Ichigo, he is in a bad mental state.

Ichigo didn’t actually really mean it, he still wanted to live and maybe find a way to return while being still alive, but the chances are small and if he will tell Celestia about this? She will laugh him off. Luna will probably also, Twilight and her Friends will keep away, this FancyPants pony will forget he knows him, he will be called crazy.

Mūnroau said Zangetsu is going to return but it will take much time, he wished he would return now, while Ichigo still has some sanity left in him, he can’t even comprehend there are ponies that talk and eat like humans. He can’t even imagine an completely different universe right now. And there are more than just this one!

Ichigo stopped crying and his eyes were red from exhaustion and from the tears, he felt tired, really tired right now. He would like to go to sleep even if it is barely night. Beside that, he has to also believe in the goddess of the sun and moon thing he will never believe in. Its impossible to believe in such things.

What, do they command the sun and moon to move like some servants they have to order them to bringing this and that? Or do they have some special incantation to say anything regarding this matter? This world has magic, which is basically more Kidou, Bakudo and everything else. Only very much more diverse an expanded.

He has already destroyed the wall, and sink, he might as well destroy the rest of the place if he wanted to. Not that anything will stop Ichigo from doing that, maybe a pony that will hear noises and will decide to check what is going on here and find him destroying this place into pieces. So that this place can literally become an shitty one.

He has gone from crying and reminding himself of his friends to having an discussion with his hollow he is stuck with for the rest of his life until Zangetsu comes back, he hopes he will come back soon or else he is going to loose it. Maybe there is a spell that can bring him back? A spell with enough reiatsu and Reirykou. To awake Zangetsu back to life and have at least one good companion and friend with him.

Ichigo and Mūnroau Exchanged looks, non said a word since Ichigo told him he might harm himself or do seppuku in front of him, he wouldn’t allow him to do this. Maybe thy don’t like each other, but he will protect Ichigo, even if this means actually harming him and getting control, he wouldn’t ever give it back to be as strong as possible so that he might live. As long as he lives he can also exist.

Ichigo is strong, he cant be weak. He, with such potential and him to the help, can’t possibly loose an fight there is. The best thing would be for him to be in the palace and maybe have not so much conversations on the court. Or else he might think again about his old friends and try to do something stupid.

Mūnroau isn’t stupid also, he might have aggressive ways of solving things. But he isn’t so stupid to start a war yet with Ichigo, if King proves strong then he will leave him alone until again he will strike. And, again, and, again, and again. With such method he will know Ichigo is strong, and with such method he will also have some time to spend.

Ichigo was up against a wall, he felt really tired, he wanted to have some rest finally. But he wanted to know what will Mūnroau say. He wanted to know his reaction, he wanted to force him to stop doing what he was doing. He wanted to maybe at least try to have a life even if it wont work here in this city and country.

‘King, I know you good. I know you really care for innocent. Don’t make me try to take over now, or we will both destroy this place’ Mūnroau said, with Ichigo looking at him with winded eyes 'You know that, and I will do it’ He warned him

“Don’t you try and threaten me! If that’s the case I can run away from this place, and we will settle things down where there are no citizens of any possible race that lives here”

‘I only warn you, do you remember how I asked you what’s the difference between a King and his horse?’

Ichigo blinked, he didn’t know here this was going, but probably Mūnroau wants to do him a small lecture, he will listen it out with a smile on his face while drinking tea. Yes that’s exactly what he going to do, then in the middle he is going to throw the tea at him and go away, he needs answers and not riddles.

‘The answer was instinct, something you do not possess. But not only that, thanks to the instinct the horse knows when to run and when to give all power to the King so that he can go full out, and possibly win’ Mūnroau Explained further

Ichigo listened to Mūnroau, not that he was interested in this. He only did this to then give a comments that his hollow can feel bad he didn’t listen. He didn’t give a damn if this is important or not. But he will do him the one favor and listen to him. At least he can do something he cant do and be better than just a part of something greater, that is himself.

‘This sounded selfish’ Ichigo thought

‘ What you would like to have and desire, are not the same thing I want and desire King…’

This surpassingly sounded familiar, as if he heard something lie this only with changed meaning, not entirely but still with changed meaning about something. Ichigo didn’t quite understand what his hollow meant by this. Mūnroau is a strange being, he will never understand him fully, but he is a part of him and his personality, a alternative hollow self he could say.

Mūnroau then brought his hands up ,he look deeply into Ichigos eyes, and he waited for a right moment. Ichigo narrowed his senses as he felt that something can happen in a half a second to him or this area. His surroundings were destroyed already, he had nothing to defend then some wood and water.

‘For now we will do it your way, I will you give this fee space, you won’t her of me. Only when we are in danger. But when you admit you can’t do things alone…’ He stopped

Ichigo looked at him, he stood now tall and had a serious look on his face. His hair were now organized and weren’t messy as before, no hair were in front of his eyes or face to disturb him. Mūnroau Took a deep breath, and continued what he wanted to tell Ichigo before he stopped in his speech.

‘...We will do it my way’ He finished and started to vanish

Ichigo felt wrong, and he also could feel some sorry for him. Maybe he did attack him and he thinks he did right he can have answers and he can make some relationships. Even if he isn’t going to have the best time her in Equestria and the memories of his friends still were in his head fresh and ready to think about.

Mūnroau started to crack and the hollow white substance dropped on the floor and then some flew in the air, and so he disappeared from Ichigos sight. Ichigo was left there almost wet, and with his chest visible for everyone. He decided to have some last moments of thoughts and then go again and talk with Luna or anyone in this case.

Ichigo closed his jacket and put his sword back in the sheath, from there he only one more time stared in the mirror and begin to exit the toilets. He didn’t know how much time he spend here but he was sure like hell that at least ten minutes or more. Ichigo with small steps also avoided the water that managed to form a very big pond, almost to the exit.

He exited the toilet, and he again heard the music in his ears. While still in the small corridor he closed his eyes, and after a small amount of time opened them again and proceeded to go along the hallway to rejoin the party. He might at least try and not get depressed entirely this evening or else he is going to really loose to the world.

Ichigo exited the narrow hallways and located Luna with a sad mimic on her face, she held the cup with the juice. He couldn’t find any clock in the area, he probably made her think she drove him away and he didn’t want to talk to her anymore. It wasn’t the truth, his hollow did this. Great, now he has also a pony, a Princess that runs a country to apologize to!

‘My new life starts with a misery’

He walked towards Luna to maybe spend some time with her, end the conversation he started. He would do it any other day but not after what he has been throe a couple of minutes. Now that he is sad and drained out of any positive thinking he might as well tell her he feels wrong and end it right now. But he can find some strength to continue the talk.

He walked towards Luna, she noticed him and she seemed to regain most of her humor by just seeing him. This means he likes him, a good thing. Not that it will help him right now. Ichigo wasn’t to far away from her, and he was just some steps away from Luna, he might as well from the position he is start talking to her, even if the music will block most of what he says.

“Ichigo, we begin to worry. You’ve been gone for nearly fifteen minutes!” She said

Ichigo with a smirk on his face that was barely visible, he looked at her he took with crossed hands and hit head bent to the right more.

“Can’t a grown man take some more time for harder things while being in the restroom?”

Luna had nothing to counter this argument with, even if she just sounded stupid and like a blond mere. She never actually heard of the word ‘man’ is it supposed to have the same meaning as Stallion? It could, maybe she will ask for this later, for now she would rather enjoy having more time with Ichigo.

Luan also noticed his voice wasn’t as playful and happy as before, he sounded more depressed and more, tired. As if he was ripped apart and something took his energy and positive thinking. Maybe this is just her mind playing tricks with her? She is kind of worried about this, it can be a coincidence or it can mean something more. But Ichigo was very cheerful, he can’t just become sad from nothing. This must be just something she just imagined and better let go of this.

“Come and sit” She said with a smile

Ichigo didn’t want to but he forced himself to do this, he could notice that Lunas way of speaking also changed while he responded. He doesn’t know why, maybe she tried something? Like changing her tone to sound more promising so that he won’t leave her for another fifteen minutes. Ichigo sat on the chair besides Luna big one.

Ichigo looked forward and saw Twilight and her friends coming his direction, not that he didn’t want them to come. But he would prefer just Luna for the moment, she could maybe be less energetic. Maybe she knows a spell that can put him to sleep, or he won’t sleep the whole night. He doesn’t care actually, but he can ask.

“Luna” He started and got her attention “Do you know any spells that can maybe make me fall asleep?” He asked

Luna looked at him with an raised eyebrow, she didn’t want him to go to sleep. She wanted to maybe spend the night with him, find somepony who would like to enjoy it for once since she came back. She would love too, she already got to know him partially and she hoped she will get to know him even better. But it seems just like always, the ponies or in this case a non-pony. That earned himself a close place beside her doesn’t want to give her the pleasure of looking at the stars for even a minute.

Maybe she should lie about it? He couldn’t be to angry if she told him why she lied. But if she lies and later has to tell him why, then she will have to tell him the worst part for her life and what she done, and into what she turned. Then he will start to hate her, she doesn’t want that, she begin to like him too much already.

“W-Why do you ask?” She asked

Ichigo just threw up his arms “I thought since you are the “Goddess of the moon” Then you probably know spells and magic related to sleep. I’m just curious” He answered back, his tone very emotionless

In this case she could say yes, but this can be just an cover to ask her and to request doing one on him so that he might sleep. It isn’t even six! How can he possibly go to sleep now or even feel tired? The evening is rather young, and she wanted to show him she can make the moon go up! This is troublesome.

At the time she thought about saying she can or can not do such things and lie to him. Twilight with her friends found them both, PinkiePie was the first to appear in front of Ichigo scaring him and making him jump. It caused the chair to fall with him on it and he hit his head, when he landed at the floor.

Rainbow Dash quickly flew towards Ichigo and helped him stand up “Dude you all right?” She helped him stand up

Ichigo head hurt but he was ok thanks to his hierro, not that he even bothered with answering back. He just put his hand where he hit the floor to check if he was bleeding and he wasn’t. Twilight with her other friends rushed towards him, While Luna wanted to check if he I all right. Ichigo of course he had to be the subject.

“PinkiPie! Be careful!” Yelled Twilight

She then appeared in front of Ichigo out of nowhere “Ohmygoshim sosorryichigoIddidn’twanttoharmyouyouknow?! She said very quickly”

Ichigo didn’t understand much from what PinkiePie said in this one line of text. However he got the idea, she wanted to apologize, and he will accept the apology, this means that the sooner he is going to go and have some rest from all of them.

“Its alright... I’m ok, don’t worry” he said

“Art thou sure?” Luna asked

“Indeed you fell quite badly” Rarity added

“I as an dragon would even have a small bruise” Spike strengthen Rarity’s worries by his statement

“Can I check? I know some heali-“

“I said I was OK!” He screamed

They all looked at him, he was angry and he screamed without hesitation. He didn’t even had to do it but he couldn’t anymore. He wanted some peace and harmony, somewhere away from all of them. He didn’t mean that they are bad, he just needed some calm place to think about certain things. Ichigo sighted and now said peacefully

“I’m alright, no worries. I’m sorry I had to scream but I don’t like such behavior around me” he explained

The ponies just looked at him, some surprised and some not, Fluttershy hid behind Applejack that had her mouth slightly opened, Luna didn’t quite understand why is this such a big deal to scream about ponies being worried abut his health. They indeed overreacted maybe, but he could get hurt really badly.

“Now if you excuse me, but I need some private time”
