Black eyes cracked open as the Head Captain Yamamotto started the Captain's meeting. His deep voice echoed in the squad one barracks. "Let this meeting come to a beginning."

Turning to the sixth squad captain, the Head Captain asked, "Captain Kuchiki, how is your investigation going?"

The captain, placed in charge of the investigation concerning the tenth squad captain, faced their leader and spoke, "We still have no leads to go on. All there is to say currently is that, they just, disappeared."

It had been two weeks since the incident, and everyone was wound up, the tension on the edge. Even though there were many who couldn't truthfully say they were very close to Toshiro Hitsugaya, the fact that a powerful captain had gone missing was very unsettling. Also, there was another problem.

"These attacks in the Rukongai, have we confirmed that it is not the doing of a hollow?"

Ukitake stepped forward. He had been asked to investigate the mysterious attacks, and he was having more luck than the others. "Yes. That has been confirmed. The particles of spirit energy do not match that of a hollow, and we have discovered other evidence suggesting that culprit may be a soul reaper."

"A soul reaper?"

"Yes, a powerful one, too, but the specifics of his spirit energy are blocked by the pressure of another, possibly an arrancar."

The Head Captain nodded and spoke once more. "Captain Ukitake, you must find and apprehend this person, I request that you stake out the village where the majority of the attacks have been occuring, at all cost I want you to capture this culprit."

"Yes, Head Captain."


Gin Ichimaru stepped into Aizen's throne room and squinted up to his superior.

"Welcome, Gin. Please, come in."

Sitting down upon one of the conference room chairs, Gin looked around curiously. "What, you're not going to ask the Espada in?"

Aizen leaned forward, interlacing his fingers underneath his chin. "There is no need. I have asked you here to discuss a few things about the Soul Society, which they would not know much about."

The casual smile on Gin's face widened creepily as he asked, "Really? What is it?"

Aizen couldn't help but smirk as the next words left his mouth. "As you know, for the past week and a half, I have been having our little pet attack those Rukongai villages."

"By little pet you mean Hitsugaya-kun?"

"Of course," Aizen's calm voice radiated in the area, creating an evil atmosphere, "Now he has done well enough to have destroyed the entire towns, and has been murdering innocent civilians, at my order of course."

Gin nodded,"Where are you going with this?"

"Because I ordered him to release a little bit of spiritual pressure, the Soul Society has been alerted to the presence of a soul reaper and the destruction of these villages. They'll no doubt take action soon."

"And?"

"Well, we'll just need to make sure Hitsugaya-kun doesn't get captured. I'd have to kill Momo and forget about toying with him, and then what will I do?"

Gin showed he understood and began to leave the room. Then, his mind got the better of him and he turned around. Facing Aizen, his smile gone and being completely serious, he asked, "Why are you doing this, Aizen-sama?"

"Hmmm?" Aizen replied

"To Hitsugaya-kun... why are you putting him through this?"


Ukitake stood in the center of a small village, smiling a little as a group of kids ran by, laughing. By his side, Rukia looked around happily. "This is a nice place." She said sweetly. "I don't see why anyone would try to attack these people."

"I almost don't want to know what kind of a scumbag would." Came a voice from behind the two.

Both Soul Reapers turned to see Ichigo walked towards them, looked bored but angry. Rukia smileed and called his name as she ran up to him.

"Hey, Rukia, Juushiro." Ichigo replied, nodding to each.

"What are you doing here, Ichigo? I know you're in the Soul Society for a visit, but why are you here?"

Ichigo shrugged carelessly. "I don't know. Everyone seems depressed so I decided to come hang out with you guys and see if it's any fun."

Smiling, Ukitake spoke up, "That's great. It's getting dark now so I think we should circle the perimeter of the village. A group of men went out to the forest to chop wood recently so I suspect they're going to be prime targets."

"Right."

The group split up, Ukitake on his own, and Rukia following Ichigo. They pressed into the woods and began their search. An entire hour must've passed when Ukitake heard screams. He immediately spun around and leapt in their direction, but then stopped short when he reached the clearing.

Bodies littered the forest floor, and the one responsible stood above them, his long sword stained with their blood. Ukitake could barely remember to breathe as the shock hit him. He knew the person in front of him.

"Capt- captain... Hitsugaya?"
