"Will all captains please assemble for an urgent meeting. I repeat, will all captains please assemble for an urgent meeting." The announcement rang in Hitsugaya Toushiro's ears as he made his way to the First Squad House, where all captain meetings were held. He was sure that the meeting would be about the Arrancar situation in Hueco Mundo, and it was of utmost importance. Keeping that in mind, the juu-ban taicho started to use Shunpo. As he transformed from a figure with white hair in a captain's haori to a flash of light, thoughts ran through his head about his fellow Captains still in Hueco Mundo. He frowned and wondered if they were alright, especially Unohana taicho. He had always had a soft spot for the yon-ban taicho.
When he arrived, only the 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th and 13th squad captains were there. Byakuya, Mayuri, Kenpachi and Unohana had been dispatched to Hueco Mundo. The others were all traitors. Hitsugaya felt a sudden flash of anger as he thought about Aizen. Subsequently, he thought about Hinamori, and it was as though Hinamori's comforting presence soothed him and he became calm.
"Now that all captains are here, we shall start the meeting," Yamamoto's croaky yet powerful voice rang out. Kyouraku touched the brim of his hat and muttered, "I'm assuming this is about the Hueco Mundo situation." "No, it isn't," Ukitake said sharply. Being one of the sho taicho's most trusted students, Ukitake was sure to have the information about the meeting. So when he corrected Kyouraku, Hitsugaya was surprised. "Not about the Arrancars?" he voiced his doubts. "It isn't," Yamamoto affirmed. "It appears that several Hollows have appeared in Karakura Town." "Hollows appearing in a town; that's not unusual," Komamura remarked. "No," agreed Ukitake. "However, these Hollows appear to be stronger than even those that have appeared since Kurosaki Ichigo gained his Shinigami powers." Upon hearing the substitute Shinigami's name, Hitsugaya's eyebrows raised just a fraction. So far, almost all captain meetings had been about the carrot-top.
"We need a captain to dispatch the Hollows and stabilize the situation." Yamamoto said. Soi Fon gave an irritated sigh and said, "Why not afuktaicho? I need Omaeda to get out of my sight." "We can't overlook the situation in the real world, even the Arrancars are top on our list. A captain is needed to tie up loose ends and make sure it's well taken care of." Ukitake supplied. At this, all the captains seemed to be interested in anything apart from the senior captains. Komamura started whistling, Soi Fon started arranging her yellow scarf, and Kyouraku started to have a morbid interest in his hat. Hitsugaya sighed. He stepped forward. "I'll do it." He said loudly, startling the other captains. "Very well," Yamamoto said, while Ukitake shot a small smile at the juu-ban taicho. "The Senkai Gate will be opened in half an hour's time. The meeting is dismissed!"
