Ichigo had to bite down on a yell, and actually felt his eyes start to water in the corners purely out of reflex in the face of that sharp, painful slicing into his arm. He had expected Shiro to not go easy on him for a long time to come, but it felt like a small chainsaw was latched onto him, and worrying at his flesh like a terrier.
Gritting his teeth, and only letting a little, hoarse sound of pain escape, Ichigo shut his eyes, clenched his hand in the back of Shiro's shirt, and just sucked it up.
It didn't take long for the effects to begin becoming noticeable. Not hugely so, but the evening out of black, and white reiatsu displayed in superficial, physical ways first; Shiro's hair altering it's length automatically, the ghostly outlines of inverted armor braces on the hollow's wrists, his ankles, and even his collar. The aching sense that Ichigo was missing some important piece of himself began to subside, too, as the red soul-chain that bound them flared into visibility briefly.
Cracking one eye open, Ichigo would have smiled at the changes had he not been busy keeping his mouth shut on pained sounds. He'd have to pull Shiro off through force if the hollow kept this up...
