One day in the soul society, Rukia, Renji, and Yoruichi decided they would go back to the world of the living to visit their friends and tell Ichigo about Aizen's plot. As they were preparing to leave, Captain Kuchiki came over with his normal expressionless face. "Lieutenant Abarai, make sure the Ryoko know about Aizen and what he plans to do. We have a feeling he is going to hit soon. We need to prepare for him." With that they left, but to their surprise, Rukia grabbed Byakuya by the hand and dragged him with on their journey to the world of the living. When they arrived to the world of the living, Captain Kuchiki tried to head back to the soul society where he was needed, but the gate had been closed and he could not enter back into the soul society. "What happened to the gate? Why isn't it open?" exclaimed Byakuya. Out of nowhere Renji exclaimed "I KILLED IT!" With a look of frustration, Byakuya walked away in silence heading in the direction of Urahara's shop. When they arrived to Urahara's shop, they were greeted by the fighting of Ururu and Jinta. Byakuya walked right passed them. As he passed, Jinta and Ururu stopped fighting and became completely silent. As Byakuya entered the shop to talk with Urahara, Jinta and Ururu asked Rukia who he was. "That is my brother. Refer to him as Captain Kichiki. Don't bother him either….you may regret it," explained Rukia. Jinta and Ururu continued cleaning as they were supposed to. No words came out of their mouth. They were silent the whole time, in fear of what would happen if Captain Kuchiki were to be bothered by them. Rukia, Renji, and Yoruichi headed out to find Ichigo and the gang while they left Byakuya with Urahara.
