After they were situated, Renji, and Rukia sat around Kisuke's table still trying to ready themselves for the worst to come. Ururu, the little black haired girl, and Jinta prepared tea for the trio.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Kisuke sounded concerned as if the information would hurt the two soul reapers.
Renji slammed his fists on the table nearly breaking it, "Of course we want to know!! Ichigo's stuck in there and we want to know how to get him out!" Rukia put her hand on his shoulder in attempt to calm him down.
"Please Kisuke, tell us how it happened," Rukia said a lot calmer than Renji," and if there's a way to bring Ichigo back."
"Bring Ichigo back from where?" a young woman's voice came from behind the group. Rukia spun around to see three more human's the woman had orange hair like Ichigo, the men behind her came in and sat down.
"Orihime, Chad, Uryu?" Rukia sounded surprised to see them all.
"Don't worry Rukia, I called them here. I thought they had a right to know what happened to Ichigo." Kisuke informed.
"What happened to Ichigo? Is he okay? Where is he? Can we--" Orihime started with the questions but stopped when Uryu put his hand on her shoulder.
"Something like this wouldn't kill Ichigo, remember?" Uryu was recalling the time when he was nearly killed by an arrancar (a hollow who had gained soul-reaper-like powers) named Ulquiorra Cifer he was the Fourth Espada in Sokuke Aizen's Arrancar Army. Sosuke Aizen was former Captain of Squad Five, but had betrayed the Soul's Society for his own gains. The Espada where the Top Ten Leading Arrancar's. Ichigo had defeated Aizen with help from his father, Isshin Kurosaki, and Kisuke Urahara who had bound him for eternity.
"Right. Sorry..." Orihime had replied after remembering the same hassle.
"I'll tell you what had happened, you two know that the Precipice World alter's time correct?" Kisuke asked. Rukia and Renji nodded in response. "When I was Captain of Squad twelve I was running experiments in the Precipice world and I believe that this is the late react--"
"SO YOU DID HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT!" Renji cut him off, "and it's also your fault that, that incident with Aizen happened! You created the Hogyoku and let Aizen get his hands on it--"
"Renji!" Rukia snapped at him, "Kisuke, is there anyway to get Ichigo back from that other world?"
"I never knew anyone may have gotten lost in that world, let alone Ichigo of all people. I'm sorry this is something I just don't know" Utter silence swept over the group.
