<Esmee's POV>
                          
I had just received a hell butterfly informing me about an urgent Captain's meeting, so I told Shuhei and then flash stepped over to the First Division barracks.
                          
I entered the meeting hall and stepped in line along with the other Captains while conversing with Shunsui, Jushiro and Byakuya. The noise of chatter was so loud that nobody had noticed the Head Captain enter the room until he shouted across the hall.
                          
"SILENCE!" He boomed. "I have called you all here today to discuss the strange spiritual pressures that are appearing in Karakura Town. I have decided that Captain Kuchiki, Captain Arisu, Lieutenant Hisagi, Lieutenant Abarai, Rukia Kuchiki, Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa will join up with the Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki, and find out what the source is of these unknown spiritual pressures. You leave immediately. Is that understood?"
                          
"Yes, Captain." Chorused throughout the room.
                          
"Meeting dismissed." He spoke.
                          
All the captains left the room and the only people remaining were Byakuya and I.
                          
"I'll send a hell butterfly out to the others, meet at the senkaimon as soon as possible." Byakuya told me.
                          
"Okay." I responded.
                          
I flash stepped back to my barracks and entered my office to see Shuhei engrossed with his paperwork.
                          
"Shuhei." I spoke.
                          
"Captain, you're back." He responded.
                          
"We're going on a mission to the World of the Living immediately, there has been a lot of unknown spiritual pressures appearing in Karakura Town." I told him.
                          
"Who else is going?" He asked.
                          
"Captain Kuchiki, Lieutenant Abarai, Yumichika, Ikkaku and Rukia." I answered. "Now lets go."
                          
We flash stepped over to the senkaimon and were relieved the notice we weren't the last ones there.
                          
"I wonder where Yumichika and Ikkaku are now." Renji grumbled.
                          
"Knowing that pair, he'll probably be fixing his hair while Ikkaku yells at him." Shuhei responded.
                          
"Captain Kuchiki, have you got any idea about what could be causing this spiritual pressure?" I asked.
                          
"I only have one explanation, and that would be Aizen." He answered.
                          
"Sorry we're late!" A voice called.
                          
Suddenly, Yumichika and Ikkaku appeared infront of us out of breath.
                          
"What took you so long?" Renji questioned.
                          
"This idiot kept on fixing his hair." Ikkaku grumbled.
                          
"What a surprise." I muttered sarcastically.
                          
"Let's go." Byakuya spoke.
                          
We jumped through the senkaimon and appeared in Karakura Town, once we had arrived it turned out to be late in the afternoon so we crashed down at Urahara's shop.
