Urahara's Shop: an unorthodox convenience store that is located strangely in a back alley in Karakura Town is what a normal human would think of the place, but secretly it serves as a connection to the Soul Society and deals in spiritual goods. The shop is now very quiet from an outdoor perspective. Go inside and it's pretty the same as well as the owner, Kisuke Urahara, is sitting at a table drinking tea. He is accompanied by the mod souls Ririn, Noba, and Kurodo. The inside of the facility is as quiet as the outside because of the lack of the sounds of a bustling city.
"So..." Kisuke attempts to break the ice. "It sounds a little too quiet in here don't you think?" He looks at the mod souls in their gigais (it's what gives them a human appearance). Ririn and Kurodo shrug, but Noba remains silent as he usually does with his arms crossed.
The door to the back room where the four are residing in opens. Yoruichi enters and closes the door behind her.
"I'm back," she announces to them.
"Welcome back Yoruichi," Kisuke greets her. He goes on, "You went to see Haru, didn't you?"
Yoruichi answers, "Yes I did. I just felt like it all right?" Her friend looks at her with a surprised expression.
"I wasn't insinuating anything you know," Kisuke states. Yoruichi notes this and blushes a bit.
She apologizes, "S-sorry..." Her head turns away from him so she won't have to make eye contact with him.
Then Kisuke says, "It's all right Yoruichi. I understand what it is you're thinking by now." This makes Yoruichi turns her head back to him to see his sincere expression. She looks at the ground with narrowing eyes as she thinks.
Then suddenly a strong spiritual pressure descends onto the shop. The tenants sense it upon them.
Kurodo says, "Oh dear! This spiritual pressure is incredible!"
"It's not a Soul Reaper that's for sure!" Ririn responds.
Kurodo goes, "It's not! It feels like..."
"We have company," Kisuke announces as he looks at Yoruichi. She turns to the location of the source of the spiritual presence. Her eyes widen when she realizes where the being emitting the pressure is located.
"It's coming from the park where I last saw Haru!" Yoruichi tells Kisuke.
The group immediately makes their way to the scene where Haru had a little chat with Yoruichi. They witness a tear in the night sky close before they arrived.
Kisuke thinks to himself, "That's not good. That was a Garganta leading to Hueco Mundo. Hmm... could Aizen be behind this?" They get to the park and discover it empty. Yoruichi worriedly looks all around for any signs of her Soul Reaper companion.
"He's gone..." Yoruichi tells everyone. "I can't sense his spiritual pressure anymore." They find this true for there is no trace of Haru's presence anywhere. Urahara steps out from the group toward where the Garganta was in the sky.
"This really is not good," he tells them his thoughts. "It appears that our friend Haru has gotten himself abducted by the Espadas and Aizen."
Ririn reacts, "What? Why would they kidnap of all the more important people in this place him?"
Kurodo responds, "Well reasonably it really is pointless to target a new Soul Reaper such as Haru..."
Noba just observes from the back of the pack. Kisuke takes what evidence he has to form an understanding of what is to become of Haru.
He thinks to himself, "Aizen wouldn't just let this happen without his knowing... Which means he must have ordered for this to happen, but what does he have in mind for Haru?"
Kisuke, Yoruichi, and the others return to Urahara's Shop. At the front entrance, Tessai, Urahara's employee and friend, greets them.
Tessai says, "Boss while you were out Tomoko has returned." This surprises Kisuke. Tessai informs him, "He's in the back room." Kisuke walks into the store without taking his wooden sandals off at the threshold. He opens the door to the back room and sitting on the table is a light blue teddy bear with a rainbow emblem on its sandy brown belly.
It speaks with Tomoko's voice, "There you are at last Kisuke! I've been waiting ages for you!" Kisuke stares at the talking bear. Tomoko notices this and looks up at his former owner sullenly. "I can explain this," he explains.
Tomoko goes on to tell his tale. As it turns out, after Haru pocketed him in his capsule form in his pants' pocket and chat with Yoruichi for a bit, during Haru's encounter with the mysterious being when he was punched in the stomach by it, Tomoko fell out of Haru's pocket. He landed onto the road and saw Haru being taken forcefully through the Garganta to Hueco Mundo. The poor guy thought that he was going to be left forever on that cold road and will eventually be swept into a storm drain and then taken to an ocean where he will drift to the bottom of the sea and be buried in the sand and will never be seen again. Fortunately for him (well unfortunately if you want to take into account the bear form he got out of it through a chance of luck that will be explained now) a family driving on the road home from a carnival passed Tomoko on the street. A kid was dangling a teddy bear he won from a game out the window. He lost his grip on the toy and it fell to the street. It bounced and oddly enough, its open mouth lands on the pill which is Tomoko. The mod soul gains control of the unfortunate bear and went back to the shop to tell Kisuke of what happened. However, when Tomoko arrived Urahara wasn't in because he just left so he waited for about ten minutes before he finally came back.
After the bear finishes telling his story, Kisuke is sitting at the table along with Yoruichi and the other guys are kneeling behind them. A silence takes places in the room for a moment.
Kisuke sums it up, "It's definite now that Haru is now a prisoner of Aizen."
"However," Yoruichi inputs, "why is he doing this now and what does he intend to do with him?"
Tessai, Noba, Ririn, and Kurodo close their eyes and try to think of a logical explanation.
Kisuke stands up and says, "Well all we can do is to go to Hueco Mundo and rescue Haru before they get the chance to do what it is they're planning." Yoruichi looks up at him.
"Yes I guess it is all that we can do for now," she agrees with him.
Kisuke starts, "I'll assemble Ichigo, Uryu, and Chad and have them-" An abrupt knock is made on the front door of the building. A voice cries out and Yoruichi recognizes it right away.
"Lady Yoruichi! This is urgent!" Yoruichi stands up immediately from the table and shunpos to the front door. She opens it and standing on the other side is a woman with short cut black hair and a couple of long ponytails behind her head. She is wearing a Soul Reaper robe but along with it she is also wearing a white, sleeveless hiyori with a couple of black characters on the back of it.
Yoruichi tells her, "Ah Soi Fon. What's with all of this commotion about?" She sees that Soi Fon isn't pleased about something.
"Lady Yoruichi," Soi Fon starts to say, "We have an emergency. There's been a break-in into the Soul Society! We have a ryoka roaming around again!"
