With Hitsugaya vanishing again he sent the Soul Society in turmoil, at the 10th Division barracks, 1st Division Lieutenant Chōjirō Sasakibe told them to remain confined to these barracks until further notice on Yamamoto's orders.
As the division members begin talking among themselves, Chōjirō reveals until Hitsugaya is apprehended, they are all considered to be co-conspirators and therefore are required to surrender their Zanpakutō.
As the division members voice their dissent, 2 figures started to approach them. Chojiro says to the that Yamamoto's orders stand they had no choice but to give their Zanpakuto away...
At the same time, Rukia and Renji entered the Division and happened to see this scene. Rangiku saw them and asked them what it was they wanted here.
Rukia: "Taking such drastic actions without any evidence seems very odd."
Rangiku: "No it's not, the Ōin which was stolen is very important, or otherwise they would not be doing this."
Renji: "Yeah, but directly doing this..."
Rangiku: "It seems to do with Captain Hitsugaya leaving from his duties as he knows who it was, therefore, they placed us in standby status."
Renji: "Isn't that far fetched?? I'm sure Hitsugaya will return soon and sort this mess out."
Rangiku: "I don't know the whole story, but there si someone who might knows."
Rukia: "Who??"
Rangiku: "Find Sora, i'm sure he even knows where Captain is."
Chōjirō, let the three talk all they wanted but when all of the division members had surrendered their Zanpakutō he told them to return to their barracks and await their next orders.
Apologizing, a Shinigami tells Rukia and Renji he has orders to lock down the barracks, and everyone must be cleared from these quarters, so he must ask them to leave. As Renji says he understands and they are leaving now, Rukia apologizes to Rangiku before they left from there...
As Hitsugaya reached the real world he was stunned to see Sora and Senna in front of him, before he could say something to them he was interrupted by Sora.
Sora: "We are only here to stop the other 2 from getting in your way, if we try something to interrupt your fight feel free to attack me as well."
Thanking him for his help, Hitsugaya states he appreciates it, just as he was walking away from there as he wanted to try and find Kusaka's reiatsu, Hitsugaya saw a fireball hurtling towards them.
As the fireball exploded, they jumped back from the explosion. Looking up at the sky, they saw Yin and Yang.
Yin: "Hand over Hitsugaya, otherwise you will get hurt."
Yang: "You will be eliminated if you two get in our way."
Sora: "Well i doubt you can even touch my hair, nevertheless us two here, have the role of only blocking you two..."
Senna: "As for that white-haired shorty over there, he wants a rematch."
Hitsugaya: "God damn it all of you!!!! I'm NOT SHORTY!!!"
All 4 of them watched Hitsugaya with black lines in his head and tried to measure their height before 5 voices answered him back...
5 Voices: "But you are..."
Hitsugaya was steaming with anger from their teasing but then it suddenly hit him, who was the 5th voice?? He looked up and saw the masked man before exclaiming loudly...
Hitsugaya: "Kusaka!!!!!!!!!"
Kusaka: "Oh?? You finally remember me??? The beating Yesterday probably was the trigger."
Hitsugaya: "Whether it was or not it's not important right now."
Kusaka: "Oh?? and what is important??"
Hitsugaya: "My fight with you. A fight i never honoured when we were still students."
Kusaka stopped talking and looked at Hitsugaya through his mask, as he proceeded to remove it a scar could be seen in his face as it was the last hit that caused him his death...
