"Rukia Kuchiki do you understand why you are here today" Head Captain Yamato asked the petite shinigami who stood before seven of the remaining eight captain of the Gotei 13.
Rukia looks around seeing there was one more missing captains open her mouth to asked what happened.
"Your own Captain Ukitake was unable to attend this meeting because his health started acting up again thus you are to give him the report of what happens here once it over. So you can now answer the question the head Captain Yamato asked of you" her brother, Byakuya told her.
"Is it because I heard the voices of the Kotetsu sister just moment before they vanished?" Rukia asked as she now knew that she was not hearing things at the time and the two of them were really in the Restu's office.
"Yes, we like to know everything that you remember about that time as so far you are the only lead we have to the just what the strange disappearing act are about as they already claimed two captains, a former captain, three lieutenants, and your Ryoka friend" Shunsui Kyoraku, the laid back captain of Squad Eight, asked.
"There not much to tell Captain Kyoraku as I did not believe they were in there at the time. I really could see anything out of place nor anything that would show any sign of something out of the ordinary" Rukia stated.
"Is it possible that your Ryoka friend is possibly in league with whoever is causing these disappearance as among the first to just vanish like this were Soifon and Yoruichi along with Aizen himself. It might be possible that Aizen is somehow behind these disappearance and that your friend his helping him again" Toshiro suggested.
"Orihime would do not as she never wanted to join Aizen in the first place! She only did so because she was threaten with the lives of those she cared for and as well as the lives of those guards the 4th Espada seriously injured. The only reason she even went to Captain Unohana was learn how gain the will to fight yet not going against her own nature in order to prevent something that from ever happening again!" Rukia yelled.
"Captain Histugaya, if you wish to claim that my sister's friend has something to do with these disappearances then we must all call lieutenant Hinamori in question as well since she still refers to Aizen as Captain Aizen. It possible that she might have joined with him as she claims to accepted him as an enemy but her continuing to refer to him as Captain would suggested otherwise. Thus calling her in question for possibly having a role in these disappearances" Byakuya spoke out.
Normally Toshiro Histugaya was as calm and cool manner about things as his icy nature of his zanpakuto however if there was one thing that get under his calm and cool exterior was mentioning Momo in negative way or hurting her psychically or mentally. So once Byakuya had done the latter Toshiro jumped to Momo's defense similar to how Rukia did to Orihime's.
"He is not wrong you know as both Momo and Orihime have connection to Aizen that could link them to being in leagues with him thus we should not jump to conclusion. The fourth Espada himself said right before his death at the hands of Ichigo that Orihime joined their side because him threaten the lives of all her friends and loves ones" Shunsui told him.
"It seem that there is nothing more that we can learn from this Rukia about the disappearance thus this meeting is adjured and everyone is to remain on guard and carry their zanpakuto with them in order to defense themselves as we have already lost enough of our forces to this menace we must not loss anymore" Yamato said before everyone present left.

"So how it go" Renji Abarai asked as noticed Rukia coming down the hallway.
His childhood friend from the 78th Rukongai district just glared up at him briefly before Renji got the idea that meeting did not go to well.
"Captain Histugaya accused Oirihime of being in leagues with Aizen or whoever is doing this" Rukia said.
"Then did my Captain possible say something about Momo as I saw him with Captain Histugaya before running into you and he was clearly pissed off at him" Renji told her as Rukia nodded to this in response.
"So how the search in the land of the living coming along?" she asked.
"Not too good as Ichigo and the others have been searching everyone for those that went missing. Nel Tu and her brothers have been searching Huneco Mundo, while we been searching here yet no one managed to picked up on their reiatsu at all" Renji told.
"Its like they have just vanished from this dimension completely as the only places we do not have people searching are the Spirit King's dimension, the heart of Huneco Mundo, and the area between the land of living and Soul Society" Rukia thought aloud.

Meanwhile in another dimension….
"What do you mean that Sakura-chan went on another solo mission! She been doing nothing but mission lately and whenever she actually does come back she only talk to you before leave on yet another mission!" Naruto yelled.
"There nothing that can be do about that, Naruto. Sakura is a chunin after all thus she has to do more then average genin as now that she finish with my training she can now fullfill the duties that come along with being a normal chunin" Tsunade sighed as her second apprentice's blond teammate had once again come to bother her about this issue.
Pissed off Naruto left the Hokage Office grumbling about how stupid Tsunade was being having Sakura go on so many mission not realize the truth of what happened to both her and Sakura as well as the real reason behind Tsunade claiming Sakura was always away on a mission. That reason being unlike Tsunade who was now just normal arrnacar that using a gigai made from her own old human body. Sakura on the other hand was still very much alive and required no gigai to seen but everyone even those without the ability to see beings such as Aizen or his new arrcanars made from shinigami. Rather then having her soul separated from her body then go the motion of becoming an arrancar. Sakura's body and soul were transformed into an arrcanar thus making her possibly the only flesh and blood arrancar in existence thus she could not hide the fact of no longer being human. Having a horn sticking out of your head and charka signature close to tailed demon on your own was not something that could simply be hidden with a genjustu specially in village where people can see chakra system and through most all genjustus. Thus Sakura was given a excuse of always being on mission to stay away from Konoha as much as possible.
"Ummm Tsunade-sama? Naruto is right Sakura has been going on a lot of mission lately more so then most chunin even with what we currently have available" Shizune inquired as she too was wondering why Sakura was going on so many mission lately.
"I have my reason as Sakura despite her status as a chunin is capable doing much more then your average one just like Naruto is more capable then normal genin. Thus Sakura is taking care of a mission that match her abilities and skills" Tsunade told her.
"I guess but how are you doing to deal with Danzo as you managed to reveal his traitorous act towards the village as I knew that guy was up to something" the Slug sanin's first apprentice said.
"I already have their punishment planned out as I well deal with them myself" Tusnade told Shizune a left not noticing the smirk on the blond kage's face.

Later that day at the Root's secret base located underneath Konoha…
"Are you sure that you have gotten both pictures and audio of Kyubi's teammate taking orders from Orochimaru and mention Tsunade involvement in these 'missions' she had been send on lately?" Danzo asked.
"Of course though both her and Orochimaru seem to talking to thin air at various point and the girl had horn sticking out of her head" the Root member said.
"Perfect with this I can eliminate all those that stand in my way of becoming Hokage as Jiriaya is gone, Kakashi I can get defaced through his connection to Jiraiya who also trained the lead of the Akatsuki, while Kyubi brat will be out the question because of all his teammates being traitors" Danzo laughed.
"That interesting a traitor like you calling someone else on it" Tsunade said chuckling as made her presence in the room known.
Danzo was about give a comeback when he was shocked speechless by Tsunade who was currently in arrancar form.
"Like what you see" Tsunade asked the speechless Danzo staring at her revealing arrancar outfit with small trickle of blood falling from his nose.
"Sir Something wrong with everyone outside as their all just lying on ground unmoving" a root member said as they actually ran through Tsunade to get to Danzo.
"It…" was all the member of Root managed to say before Tsunade reach into their body, pulled out their soul, and then ate right there on the spot.
"Thought rather then them telling what I did the rest of your group, which you were suppose have disband long ago, I thought that demonstration would be better" Tsunade said licking her lips after finishing devouring that Root members' soul.
"Do you really think that who you and your apprentice will get whatever Orochimaru and whoever else you two are answer to know will actually work" Danzo asked.
"Why should you ever care as it not like your going to live to see it anyway" Tusnade said from behind Danzo having used Sonido (the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami's Flash Steps) after killing the other Root member with him
What happened next was simple as Tsunade ripped Danzo's soul out his body and ate slowly while he tried uselessly to avoid becoming food for the arrancar Tsunade.

Are any more of the captains besides toshiro going to get converted? (asked kawaiishirochan)
I would like to thank:
Not sure at the moment as Toshiro will probably be the last captain to be converted
