Captain Yamato whisked through the forest. He could feel the power more the closer he got.

Why were the Tails leaking out now? Had they been double crossed by the newcomers? Or was it just Ichigo?

"I know what you're thinking, but we wouldn't betray you. He doesn't mean for this to happen," said Orihime. She had tagged along with Rukia and Captain Yamato to help, but mostly to see if Ichigo was okay. Something was wrong, she had felt it.

"Tell me again, about Hollow Ichigo?" Captain Yamato asked.

"He's the hollow side of Ichigo, like his bad side. Whenever he takes control of Ichigo's body, all hell breaks loose. Ichigo has to stop him himself." Rukia answered, dashing by just as fast with Orihime on her back.

So he couldn't be supressed by others like Naruto could be. This was bad.

"It takes a lot for Ichigo to lose himself, he'll be alright." Orihime said a little worriedly. These were different circumstances.

Captain Yamato was more worried about the village.

They finally reached Sakura and Kakashi. All the trees in the area were blown away, leaving a wide patch that was perfect for training. "Don't worry, this is just me and Ichigo testing. Nothing's really happened yet, but we need to stop them before it does,"

"Agreed." Captain Yamato watched as Ichigo changed.

His form shimmered between black and white, and color. He started to laugh hysterically. Then would switch to murmuring "No! You can NOT come out!" He looked like he was losing his mind.

Then he said, "Aw, come on, King, I feel so different over here-"

"No! Agh, stop it!" He was losing control. He grew silent and started to laugh again. "And I like it." Kakashi got into a fighting stance and Captain Yamato looked up from Naruto.

Yamato was half finished getting Naruto under control. If he did, then maybe he could hold back Ichigo.

Orihime started to walk forward. She had to do something. "Ichigo! Fight it, Ichigo! FIGHT IT! For all of those people, for all of us, for me!"

The laughing faded. "NO! I'm stronger than you!" Ichigo started to topple to the ground, but Orihime and Rukia were there to hold him up.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened," he murmured.

"Don't you apologize, it wasn't your fault," Orihime said.

"I'm sorry..."

Captain Yamato finished the seal on Naruto, and sighed a sigh of great relief. "Okay guys, we need to get these two to the hospital, then figure out why this happened with the Hokage."

"Agreed, lets go," Rukia took up Orihime on her back, Kakashi held Ichigo, and Yamato got Naruto.

The group hurried back through town, dodging curious eyes. They reached the hospital and pulled rank to get Naruto stitched up for the fox wounds and Ichigo to get stitched up and rested, without questions.

"Okay, lets go report to Lady Tsunade." Kakashi said.

"Yes, lets," Rukia and Orihime turned to look at Ichigo one more time before following Yamato. Orihime took a look at Naruto and wondered if she couldn't have done something.
