A blond man walked throught karakura town. Ignoring the Hollows that were popping up in the town he walked toward the Urahara shop. He snuck past a red haired kid who was picking on a young black haired girl and entered the shop.
"Urahara-san!"He called out.
"Ah Ferryman! Back for more goods?" Kisuke Urahara called back, waving his fan in front of his face.
"No, I just came to see if you wanted a game of table tennis?" Ferryman replied.

"Urahara! I need a Gigai!" Rukia yelled as she entered the shop.
Urahara was leaning against the wall, shock on his face.
"I lost," she heard him mutter, "I lost without gaining a single point..."
He looked up and saw Rukia.
"There's one out back..." He pointed.
Rukia ran out and got in the Gigai and left the store.
Urahara had a thought,'Rukia?'
He ran out back to were his Gigai were kept. 'The Hougyoku is missing!' he thought.
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
