The second and third squads keep watch over the Kasumiōji compound in order to catch Ichigo. Soi Fon returns Kenryuu and Enryuu to the Kasumiōji clan at Yamamoto’s order, and continues the search despite her reservations. It is revealed that Kumoi has captured the real Rurichiyo. Kibune visits Rurichiyo, who suggests that he is afraid of something and has an ulterior motive for working for Kumoi. Kibune is noticed by a drunken squad member, whom he quickly moves to silence. The next morning, Renji approaches Byakuya about the search, who seems unconcerned despite Rukia being sought after, and decides to let Renji take command of the search party by himself. Ichigo, Rukia and Shuu decide to rescue Rurichiyo, but as soon as they reach the surface, Amagai attacks Ichigo. Shuu steps in and reveals the truth about Kumoi and the bakkutou, which Amagai believes.
