Silence rang through the main hall of Squad 1 barracks. All of the remaining captains of the Gotei 13 stood in their usual places, waiting for the Sou-taicho to begin the meeting. Sou-taicho Yamamoto sat with that look on his face which he always had, the only change was that his eyebrow would twitch, which only Ukitake and Shunsui knew was annoyance. The only question was who was he annoyed with, they both prayed that it wasn't either of them.
Another five minutes passed and the silence continued, both the 8th and the 13th Taicho could tell that Yamamoto was getting more and more frustrated. It was then the main doors to the grand hall flew open. And standing in the doorway was none other than Ichigo Kurosaki, the savior of the Seireitei and Karakura town. All of the Captains stared at the Substitute Shinigami, but their attention was soon drawn back to the Sou-taicho when he stood up from his chair. "Ichigo Kurosaki! You are late!" Yamamoto's voice cut through the piercing silence that had settled over the large hall.
Ichigo bowed his head in apology, "Forgive me but I had an important matter to deal with, my dad was... well being my dad." A smirk tugged at the corner of Yamamoto's lips remembering Isshin being well Isshin. "Very well then, I believe we should start the meeting considering most of the captains have been standing here for nearly an hour" At that, Ichigo gave everyone an apologetic look and walked forward until he was stood in front of Yamamoto's seat, where he then kneeled.
"As you all know Ichigo Kurosaki single-handedly defeated the former squad 5 taicho Sousuke Aizen, and I have asked him here today to personally thank him for his heroic deeds." Yamamoto stood and took a few steps closer to Ichigo be for continuing. "Ichigo Kurosaki, I personally would like to ask you…"
Just as the Sou-taicho was about to finish the main doors once again flew open and a messenger ran through them and stopped just behind Ichigo. He was flat against the floor in a deep bow and was shaking. "What is the meaning of this?" Yamamoto yelled directly at the messenger, who only shook even more. "F-forgive me S-sou-taicho, b-but I have an urgent message from Tetsuzaemon fuku-taicho of squad 7 and 3rd seat Madarame of squad 11." Luckily he managed to get the entire sentence out without too much stuttering. Yamamoto contemplated if he should hear the message or not, and came to the conclusion if the message was important enough to disrupt a captains meeting then he might as well hear it. "Very well, what is this message?" The messenger blinked in surprise as he had expected to be told to come back later, but he quickly came to his senses. He gulped quietly before he spoke "The team that was deployed to check Hueco Mundo for survivors has reported back... T-they have recovered two live Espada"
Yamamoto's eyes widened and his reiatsu flared, "What! That's impossible!" The messenger gasped for breath as his lungs where compressed buy the spike in reiatsu. Unaffected buy the sou-taicho's reiatsu, Byakuya stepped forward and bowed his head. "Sou-taicho, please allow me to travel to Hueco Mundo and dispose of those Espada." Yamamoto lightened up his reiatsu and considered Byakuya's offer.
As Ichigo had heard all that had unfolded right before him, he thought now would be the time to let everyone know he was still here. "Um... If I may ask what do the Espada look like? What are their ranks?" Everyone turned their gaze to Ichigo for a moment before looking down at the messenger waiting for the answers. The messenger took a moment to get his breath back before answering. "The description I was given is that the first Espada is about 6ft with multiple injury's, he also has no hollow hole but still has an Arrancar mask, and I believe him to be the Sixth Espada. The other is smaller about 5ft, he has fewer wounds but is extremely weak at the moment, he has short black hair with a mask on the top of his head... there was no rank recovered for this espada but some of the men recognized him as Ukeorra something."
Ichigo's eyes instantly widened as he realized who it was that was still alive. "Grimmjow Jaegerjaques the Sexta Espada and Ulquiorra Schiffer the Cuatro Espada." Yamamoto stared at the teen for a moment before questioning him. "You know these Espada Ichigo?" Ichigo nodded before answering. "Yes, I've fought them many times... the last I saw of Grimmjow he was laying in the sands bleeding from multiple wounds, and I thought I had killed Ulquiorra." Yamamoto thought for a moment then asked, "Since you seem to know quite a lot about these Espada, what do you suggest we do with them Ichigo?"
Ichigo blinked a couple of times before a small grin played its way across his face, "Bring them to the Seireitei as prisoners and put them in my care... I have some unfinished business with them both." Yamamoto's eyes widened in surprise but decided not to question the matter further, he then turned to the messenger and spoke. "You heard Kurosaki-san's orders, now go send the message to the leader of the Hueco Mundo search party." The messenger stood and bowed before running out of the door to fulfill his new mission.
