"Rukia where are you? Rukia!" Ichigo kept calling out for Rukia. He, Chad, and Orihime kept searching for Rukia after she snuck away during the duel with Byakura. They regrouped, but it seemed none of them found a trace of her. "You guys didn't have any luck either?"

"No. It's like she vanished." Chad said.

"I'm getting worried. What if something happened to her?" Orihime said.

"She couldn't have gotten all that far. The question is where did she go?" Ichigo said.

"Maybe she went home or maybe there's a clue there." Orihime said.

"Good idea." Ichigo said.

"So where does she live?" Chad said.

"I don't know." Ichigo said and that surprised the both of them.

"How could you not know where she lives?" Chad said.

"She never told me where she lived or anything." Ichigo said. "Orihime you and she seem like good friends. Did she ever tell you?"

"Now that I think about it no." Orihime said.

"Then how are we suppose to find her if we don't even know where she lives?" Chad said.

"Well there might be one person who might know where Rukia is. I hate to say it, but he might be the only who can help us too." Ichigo said.

…

Renji

Renji was just walking through the streets acting like it was any other normal day. When he looked ahead he saw that the three of them were standing right in front of him.

"Ichigo?" Renji said.

"It's been a while Renji." Ichigo said.

"What do you want? Did you come here for a duel because I will take you on?" Renji said.

"I didn't come here to start a fight Renji." Ichigo said.

"If you don't want to duel then beat it." Renji said.

"I came for your help Renji. Rukia is missing." Ichigo said and that got his attention. "I was dueling this guy named Byakura and she snuck away. For some reason this guy was after her."

"So what can I do to help?" Renji said.

"You knew Rukia ever since grade school. Do you know where she lives or any place she might have gone?" Ichigo said.

"I wish I could help, but I can't." Renji said. "Rukia never showed me where she lives and she's not known to going to any certain place."

"If you can't help us then how are we going to find her?" Orihime said.

"There's got to be some way." Ichigo said.

"Excuse me." They all turned around and they were met with Kisuke as he was fanning himself.

"Can we help you?" Orihime said.

"My name is Kisuke Urahara. I would like you to come with me Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji Abari."

"No thanks. We're right in the middle with something." Ichigo said.

"I know. You're looking for your friend Rukia Kuchiki." Kisuke said. "Though with what I have to tell you it affects our world and it all revolves around her."

"Revolves around Rukia?" Renji said.

"That seems to have gotten your attention. If you be so kind to come with me." Kisuke said. He walked off and seeing as how he knew Rukia and mention that something has something to do with her they all followed.

…

Uryū

Uryū was at the school working on some knitting and studying. Then he heard a knock at the door.

"Who's there?" Uryū said. The door opened and Yoruichi was the one that came in.

"Are you Uryū Ishida?" Yoruichi said.

"Yes. Why?" Uryū said.

"My name is Yoruichi. I would like you to come with me."

…

Kisuke's Shop

Kisuke brought the four of them to his shop.

"Well home sweet home." Kisuke said.

"I never noticed this shop before." Ichigo said.

"Yes well he doesn't get much customers." They saw Yoruichi was with Uryū as they were coming in.

"Uryū you're there two?" Ichigo said and he just adjusted his glasses.

"You didn't tell me that Ichigo would be here too." Uryū said.

"What we have to tell you involves all three of you." Kisuke said as they all went inside. "Now that we're here let's get down to business."

"Yeah for starters what could you possibly tell us that involves Rukia?" Renji said.

"Hot tempered aren't we." Kisuke said.

"Rukia?" Uryū said.

"Rukia's missing." Chad said.

"A man named Byakura came for her. During his duel with Ichigo she snuck away." Orihime said.

"Listen. This is important." Yoruichi said.

"You see the two of us have been keeping an eye on this organization called the Soul Society." Kisuke said.

"The Soul Society?" Ichigo said.

"It's an organization that works with spiritual stuff." Kisuke said. "They were formed to destroy a place called the duel monster spirit world."

"The duel monster spirit world?" Renji said.

"A spiritual world where the actual monsters on the cards you play for dueling actually live." Yoruichi said.

"The Soul Society wishes to destroy it because they think it will bring the world at peace." Kisuke said. "Have you heard of Davis Motomiya?"

"Who hasn't?" Ichigo said.

"Well they believe it all started with him." Kisuke said. "First came the time when he faced a creature known as leviathan. Then he battled these cards called Egyptian Gods. Then there was a man that was set out two destroy two worlds. Finally that whole Darakro thing. The Soul Society believes duel monsters are the source for all this madness."

"So what does this have to do with us?" Renji said.

"Well destroying the duel monster spirit world isn't a good thing. There are some innocent monsters that are like children." Kisuke said.

"What does any of this have to do with Rukia?" Renji said.

"That takes place during the time she was born." Yoruichi said.

"When she was born she wasn't moving." Kisuke said. "It didn't seem like she make it before she enjoyed life. Then out of nowhere a strange light came out of nowhere and saved life. The Soul Society knows that energy came from the spirit world. They're going to use that energy to power a weapon to destroy the duel monster spirit world."

"That's awful. They truly intend to destroy another world?" Orihime said.

"If they do that what will happen to Rukia?" Ichigo said.

"We don't know, but it seems likely that she may or may not make it." Yoruichi said.

"There's more too. Apparently there might be a traitor in the Soul Society that is after something much worse." Kisuke said.

"A traitor after something much more?" Ichigo said.

"I still don't see what this has to do with us." Uryū said.

"I've seen the three of you in action. You might have what it takes down to bring down the members of the Soul Society." Kisuke said.

"If you wish to save Rukia then you have to fight and win against the Soul Society." Yoruichi said.

"I know this maybe a lot to ask, but the fate of an innocent world and your friend rests in your hands." Kisuke said.

"You don't need to convince me. I'm in." Ichigo said.

"I'm in too to help Rukia." Renji said.

"Well I can't let these two be the big heroes." Uryū said.

"Yeah and if there's anything we can do we'll help." Orihime said and Chad nodded.

"That's great. Yourichi and I will keep our eyes on the Soul Society. You just need to take down each member you come across." Kisuke said. "The first thing we got to do is find Rukia." Ichigo and his friends have entered a big battle. The question is do they have what it takes to bring the Soul Society down.
