Kisuke set down the stack of papers and sighed. They had found enough information to keep Rukia Kuchiki from getting expelled, but they hadn't found enough to get rid of Aizen. Hell, they couldn't even really prove what Aizen was up to. It looked like he was trying to get his hands on some of Kisuke's more dangerous inventions. To what ends they hadn't been able to determine. And to make matters worse, neither he nor Yoruichi had been able to figure out how this plan of Aizen's was supposed to work. At least they knew why it had involved Rukia. As the main legal representatives of the university, the Kuchiki family held all of the documents pertaining to Kisuke's most dangerous weapons. This included the information on where exactly they were located. The things were nearly impossible to find without that information.
What they didn't know was why Aizen wanted those inventions. And it was driving Kisuke crazy. There was also still the possibility that Aizen might manage to get Rukia expelled. There was no one other than themselves to corroborate the information they had. Kisuke didn't think that the university board would dismiss both him and Yoruichi and the public support Rukia's friends had drummed up, but then they hadn't listened to him when it came to Hiyori, Shinji, and the others.
"Do think this is enough?" he asked.
Yoruichi looked up from her own stack of papers. "It's going to have to be. We don't have enough time to dig anything more up, and it's what we've got.
Before he could reply to that, Ururu, Kisuke's secretary, stuck her head into the room.
"Dr. Urahara? Professor Ichimaru is here to see you. He said he had some information you would be interested in."
