As Shunsui walked away from the library, he was greeted by snow. As he continued walking forward seeing the snow, Yin stepped out behind him as she followed him.
It wasn't long that he noticing her, making him run into an alleyway. As she runs after him, he sees snow falling more wildly and puts his hand on his Zanpakutō.
At the same time a masked man stepped out, and despite Shunsui demanded to know who he is. When the man did not answer, Shunsui then stated the name he was holding inside him.
Shunsui: "You must be Kusaka."
Kusaka stated he has an exceptionally sharp mind with no equal, so it is no wonder he was the first to figure it out, Shunsui said he will take this as a compliment and states since he seems to know a lot about him, the man should tell him more about himself.
Kusaka declined as he revealing his blade, and said it would be a waste of time because he is about to be killed by Tōshirō Hitsugaya.
Shunsui: "Young man it's not gonna work you know, pretty much..."
Kusaka slashed the ground in front of him, generating an overflowing wave of ice which rushed at Shunsui, who expresses surprise. The ice managed to pin his kimono to the wall, and Shunsui comment on the power Kusaka is using before clashing with him.
After quite a while in the Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho, Shunsui breathes slowly, Unohana told the 4th Division members to set up the purification barrier and prepare themselves to operate.
In the hall, a sobbing Nanao was blaming herself as she kept stating it is all her fault, Ukitake who had arrived tried to calm her down saying to her that it is not her fault.
Nanao said to Ukitake that she knows how strong Shunsui is, so he was either caught completely by surprise or overpowered by someone much stronger.
Ukitake: "Stop blaming yourself, the 6th Division is investigating the scene right now, they will find who is responsible and capture them."
At the scene of the attack, Renji picks up a piece of Shunsui's kimono, which, to his surprise, crumbles away in his hand.
Byakuya: "There is no doubt about it, it was Hyōrinmaru."
Ukitake: "Are you sure??"
Renji: "Yes, we found traces of a powerful ice Zanpakuto being released..."
Ukitake: "Sigh, so he had come here."
Byakuya: "Seems like it."
In the Human World, Sorra was playing with Senna giving Hitsugaya a headache after all these days he managed to restore to the old good Captain figure he was and was now waiting for Sora and Senna in order to return to soul society.
Hitsugaya: "Oi, when are we going to return?? It's been 3 days..."
Sora: "Why the hurry??"
Hitsugaya: "I wish to end this as fast as possible..."
Sora: "Well we could go now but it wouldn't be good for you."
Hitsugaya: "What do you mean??"
Sora: "I mean that Kusaka must have already started his attacks there, and threw all the blame to you or should i say your sword??"
Hitsugaya: "Then all the reason we have to return..."
Sora: "Relax, do you think all the Captains are idiots?? In my opinion they are but still, they have traces of you occasionally releasing Reiatsu over here do you think the time frame is enough to go there and leave??"
Sora: "Much less stage an attack on a grand scale..."
Hitsugaya: "Why do i feel your plan is to stage everyone... What is your motive..."
Sora: "Nothing much really just those two cuties..."
