Become a Mount

Rukia's inner world: She sat blankly in a wooden house in Rukongai, lost and confused, having no idea who she was or why she was in this place.

"Rukia... Rukia..."

Rukia? Is he calling her name?

Rukia stared blankly at the rooftop. Suddenly, her surroundings changed. The rooftop was gone, and the bare walls were gone. She found herself in a snowy, icy wasteland.

Amidst the ice and snow, the voice calling her name kept echoing in her ears. Rukia frowned, and a familiar scene suddenly filled her mind.

She seemed to have seen this scene before, but unlike this time, back then she desperately wanted to know the name of that voice.

What's this person's name? The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Rukia just couldn't say them. She should know; she clearly knew the name...

Snowflakes drifted down onto Rukia's body, but instead of accumulating on Rukia Rukia, they instantly merged into her body upon contact.

As more and more snowflakes merged into her body, the hazy images in her mind became clearer and clearer. Her name was Rukia, yes, that was her name.

The voice that kept calling her reminded her of the other person's name. Rukia raised her right hand and shouted, "Ryoumaru, Sode no Shirayuki!"

The most beautiful Zanpakuto, pure white, materialized in Rukia's hand. As she grasped Sode no Shirayuki no Shirayuki, Rukia's kimono was transformed into a black Shinigami Uniform by her spiritual pressure.

Bleach Rukia Kuchiki, has returned!

In Hueco Mundo, Rukia's black spiritual pressure was completely forced out by the Bleach power within her body, and Sode no Shirayuki returned to Rukia's body. Amidst the scattered black spiritual pressure, Homura and Shizuku lay sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state; they had lost.

Seeing Rukia put on her Shinigami Uniform again, and with her lost memories returning, Tsuna and Urahara Kisuke simultaneously released the Bakudo from Rukia's body.

"I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble." Rukia bowed in apology before approaching the two siblings.

Seeing Rukia approaching, Homura pitifully raised her hand, "Rukia, don't leave us..."

Only Shizuku noticed that Rukia's Zanpakuto was still in its released state, and the chill emanating from it made Shizuku desperately wriggle towards Homura.

Perhaps there's nothing she can do, but Shizuku still wants to protect her foolish older sister as much as possible.

Rukia Shizuku's every move, then crouched down and said with a smile, "Shizuku, don't be nervous, I didn't mean to hurt you."

The two siblings stared wide-eyed, and Homura couldn't believe it. "Rukia, you remembered us?"

Sode no Shirayuki expelled them from Rukia's body, and with Ichigo blocking their way, the two siblings had no time to communicate with Rukia. Homura even thought that Rukia had forgotten them.

"I remember now. How could I not remember when I saw that Inuzuri house? Homura, Shizuku, I'm sorry I didn't protect you back then," Rukia said with a guilty expression.

Back when Rukia was still in Rukongai, she saved Homura and Shizuku, who were just children, and during that time they formed a bond of friendship.

One day, the three were suddenly attacked by Bleach who had been parasitized by a Hollow. Rukia, who had not undergone Bleach training, was unable to defeat the Bleach due to her crude use of spiritual pressure.

At the critical moment, the two siblings picked up a sword taller than themselves and killed the Bleach, but at the same time, they were also possessed by the Hollow.

While being parasitized, the Hollow used its power to bring the two siblings to Hueco Mundo. Perhaps because this Hollow possessed the ability to erase memories, Rukia forgot Homura and Shizuku's names.

Having just Hollowfication, Rukia had merged with the powers of Homura and Shizuku, remembered their names again.

"That's wonderful..." Tears streamed down Homura's face. Rukia was happy enough to remember their names in the final moments of her life.

Homura's seemingly unrepentant tone made Rukia's heart skip a beat. "Homura, you?"

"I'm sorry, Rukia, we still can't keep our promise to be together." Homura gave a bitter smile, her spiritual pressure dropping considerably.

"It's so good to see Rukia become so strong. My sister and I can finally relax." Shizuku's spiritual pressure was also rapidly decreasing.

Homura and Shizuku were not simply banished from Rukia's body. Unbeknownst to Rukia, Sode no Shirayuki and the two siblings had already engaged in a fierce battle within her inner world.

The battle ultimately turned into a one-sided affair after Rukia called out Sode no Shirayuki's name. The two siblings certainly didn't want to admit defeat easily, but this choice resulted in their very essence being destroyed by Rukia's Bleach power.

Homura and Shizuku are barely clinging to life right now. If it weren't for the intense spiritual pressure in Hueco Mundo, they probably wouldn't even be able to speak before dissipating into thin air.

"This isn't right. We've only just recognized each other, why..." Rukia panicked. Between the two siblings and Sode no Shirayuki, she was right to choose Sode no Shirayuki, but she didn't know that her choice would lead to the demise of the two siblings.

what to do?

Rukia herself was completely helpless, but the Zanpakuto in her hand did flash briefly.

Tsuna, the shopkeeper, yes, those two guys definitely have a way!

Seeing Rukia's expectant eyes, Tsuna and Urahara Kisuke a smile. They had already guessed that Rukia couldn't bear to let the two siblings disappear like that.

Rukia barely opened her mouth when Tsuna appeared beside her in Flash Step. "Have you ever thought about making them your power?"

"My power?"

"Yes, your Hollowfication form is quite powerful. Even Ichigo had to use his Bankai to fight you. It's a bit of a waste to let that power go to waste," Tsuna affirmed.

"What do you need me to do?" Rukia asked without hesitation. For her, just keeping the two siblings alive was enough; the outcome and the process were not things she could consider at the moment.

"The one inside me is fast asleep, let's get someone else, Ichigo!"

Upon hearing his name called, Ichigo immediately stepped forward. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"It's not you, it's Zangetsu. Release Zangetsu, the one with the white hair. Have him teach these two how to become Rukia's Hollow's power," Tsuna said, pointing at Homura and Shizuku.

Logically speaking, any Hollow's power could achieve this goal, but Tsuna secretly glanced into his inner world and found Byakuran fast asleep, as if he had been out having fun and was now catching up on sleep at home.

Since nothing major was happening, Tsuna didn't choose to wake Byakuran. Anyway, it wouldn't matter if White Ichigo came or not; in his memory, White Ichigo was quite good at teaching people.

"What? What do you want with me?"

Urged on by Ichigo, White Ichigo emerged from Ichigo's body with a disgruntled expression. If Old Man Zangetsu could materialize, there was no reason why White Ichigo couldn't; he simply disdained appearing in the real world.

"Zangetsu, please, teach them how to become Rukia's Hollow's power," Ichigo, clasping his hands together.

"Huh?" White Ichigo finally glanced at the two siblings. "This kind of trash..."

Ichigo quickly covered White Ichigo's foul mouth, afraid that White Ichigo's words would bring the atmosphere to a freezing point.

Under Ichigo's half-threatening, half-pleading whisper, White Ichigo reluctantly said, "These two weren't born from Rukia's body. Becoming Rukia's power is very simple."

"Just be your mounts and give everything to Rukia, the Queen. The Hollow within her will gradually accept you, and you will become her power."

"Remember! Never harbor any rebellious thoughts, otherwise Rukia will develop her own void within her, and at that point, you will truly have no place in her heart."

After saying that, White Ichigo disappeared without a word to anyone, seemingly returning to Ichigo's body.

Ichigo smiled apologetically, but that's just how White Ichigo is; he always has a sour face when facing his master, and there's nothing he can do about it.

"Simply put, it's about giving up your autonomy in exchange for the right to spend time with Rukia. You can choose," Tsuna concluded.

"No need to choose, Rukia, absorb our power!"

Homura's gaze was unwavering. She and Shizuku had already clasped hands, and under their control, the dissipating spiritual pressure gradually stabilized.

The two siblings exchanged a glance, nodded, and simultaneously transformed into black flames. The power of the Hollow gradually took shape, enveloping Rukia's scythe within the flames.

Becoming Rukia's Hollow's power was something Homura and Shizuku did without complaint; wasn't that another form of being together forever?

Understanding the siblings' feelings Rukia raised her hand and grasped the scythe. Black Hollow's power flowed into Rukia's body through the scythe, without her feeling any discomfort, as if it belonged to Rukia herself.

This was the result of the siblings relinquishing all control. The Hollow's power, which was like an unclaimed object, was successfully absorbed by Rukia, and even the scythe merged into Rukia's body, leaving a faint scythe mark on the back of Rukia's hand before disappearing.

To prevent Homura and Shizuku from betraying her at any time, Sode no Shirayuki had Rukia keep it released throughout the process. The process went smoothly without any conflict, unlike her previous appearance as a mortal enemy of the Bleach power.

"I succeeded." Rukia smiled faintly. She could clearly feel that Homura and Shizuku had taken over the Hollow's power within her body, but the two siblings were still asleep and it would take some time before they could communicate normally.

"Wait, Rukia, can you Hollowfication anytime now?" Ichigo suddenly asked.

"Of course, isn't that obvious?"

Rukia rolled her eyes at Ichigo, annoyed. Ichigo scythe mark appeared on the back of her left hand, and the Hollow power changed Rukia's form once again.

Rukia appeared before everyone with the same scythe as before, except this time her eyes were clearer, and she had put on her Asauchi Sode no Shirayuki.

"No way, you mastered Hollowfication so easily?" Ichigo cried out in pain, clutching his head. He vaguely remembered getting beaten up by Tsuna a lot when he Hollowfication, and it wasn't just him; the other Visored members had the same experience.

"What are you thinking? After you accepted Zangetsu, you were able to maintain your sanity even while Hollowfication, weren't you?" Tsuna said irritably. "Rukia's Hollow's power is now completely under her own control. It would be strange if she couldn't Hollowfication, okay?"

(PS: Let's use the "Calling Your Name" skill to give Rukia a new form.)
