Seeing Ginrei’s barely contained anger, Shin decided to let him finish.

“Dealing with Kuchiki Kōga should have been our family’s responsibility,” Ginrei explained, “but the Captain-Commander has assigned the mission to you.”

“He gave the mission to me? Then why haven’t I been notified?”

“I am the one notifying you,” Ginrei said. “I’ve come to ask that when you act, you show mercy. Please, try to capture Kōga alive.”

“Captain Kuchiki, I believe you’re putting Captain Shin in a difficult position,” Unohana said softly, her gentle tone belying a sharp edge. “Kuchiki Kōga is no weakling, is he? What exactly are you asking of him by telling him to hold back?”

Ginrei’s brow furrowed at Unohana’s question, but he said nothing. He knew it was a difficult request, but he still believed Shin could capture Kōga without seriously injuring him.

“She has a point. It’s hard for me to promise that, and I think you know why, Captain Kuchiki,” Shin said, nodding. Showing mercy depended entirely on the situation. If his opponent came at him with killing intent, holding back wasn’t exactly in his nature.

“I only ask that you try your best to show mercy. If something unexpected happens… then there is nothing to be done,” Ginrei said again, lowering his request. The situation was beyond his control. If Kōga hadn’t escaped, Ginrei could have gotten him out, albeit with some difficulty. But now he had escaped and killed three Soul Reapers. The situation had escalated, and Old Man Yamamoto wanted him captured and executed.

Yamamoto was aware of Kōga’s Zanpakuto ability, and he knew how dangerous it was. It could easily cause a massive disaster, especially if it was used to turn his own Zanpakuto against him.

The consequences would be unimaginable…

“If that’s all you’re asking, then I can do you that favor. If he comes along quietly, everything will be fine. Otherwise, I won’t go easy on him,” Shin said to Ginrei.

“Thank you.” Ginrei bowed to Shin and turned to leave, but Shin’s brow furrowed.

“Captain Kuchiki, are you forgetting something? You’re not going to tell me where Kōga is? You expect me to just find him myself?”

If Shin knew Kōga’s spiritual pressure, finding him wouldn’t be too difficult. But he didn’t, so how was he supposed to find him? He didn’t even know where he had escaped to. In the original story, he was sealed in Karakura Town, but who knew where Kōga had run off to now.

“That was my oversight. According to our intelligence, Kuchiki Kōga has fled to Hueco Mundo,” Ginrei informed Shin.

Shin stared at the old man. Was he trying to trick him? But then he shook his head. Tricking him was unlikely. If Old Man Yamamoto found out, Ginrei would be in deep trouble.

“Alright, I’ll head to Hueco Mundo now. You can wait for my good news, Captain Kuchiki,” Shin said with a smile.

Ginrei’s mouth twitched. ‘Good news? Do you really think any news you bring back will be good for me?’

With that, Ginrei left, and Yoruichi’s gaze fell on Shin.

———————————

“You want to come with me?” Shin asked before Yoruichi could even speak.

“As expected of you, Shin. You know me too well. I haven’t even said a word, and you already know I want in,” Yoruichi said with a grin, then shot a pointed look at Unohana.

Unohana simply maintained her gentle smile, seemingly unaffected by Yoruichi’s words.

“Be careful,” Unohana said, stepping closer to Shin and tidying his slightly messy captain’s haori.

“Damn it,” Yoruichi muttered under her breath.

“It’s not that you can’t come, but you’ll have to pull your weight. If you’re not planning on fighting, you might as well stay here.”

“Of course I’ll fight!” Yoruichi nodded. It had been a long time since she’d had a good fight—an opponent would be nice.

With that, Shin tore open a Garganta, preparing to head into Hueco Mundo. He asked Unohana to look after the Second Division in his absence. Really, all she had to do was assign tasks to the squad members—no special attention was needed.

“So we’re back in Hueco Mundo. How does it feel?” Shin asked Yoruichi.

“How should it feel? It’s not like Hueco Mundo is a nice place. But what is that guy doing hiding out here?” Yoruichi asked Shin, puzzled.

Hueco Mundo was far from a pleasant place. Enemies lurked around every corner. If you were alone, a Menos Grande could eat you at any moment. Even Yoruichi couldn’t guarantee her survival in Hueco Mundo. The dangers were too numerous—a single mistake could get you killed.

“Hueco Mundo is dangerous, but in a way, it’s also safe. It’s not easy for Soul Reapers to come here and capture someone.”

Of course, Shin wasn’t even sure if Kuchiki Kōga was in Hueco Mundo. He was just going on Ginrei’s intel. What if the old man was bold enough to lie to him? But that was highly unlikely. The Kuchiki clan’s sense of honor was low, but Ginrei wouldn’t risk his family’s reputation by lying to Shin about a criminal’s whereabouts.

“Hueco Mundo is so big. How are we going to find him?” Yoruichi asked Shin.

“We’ll find him, and it won’t take long. Trust me,” Shin said calmly to the worried Yoruichi.

“Then what’s your plan for finding Kuchiki Kōga? I’d like to see how you’re going to pull this off. Finding a single Soul Reaper here is harder than you think,” Yoruichi said, sitting down to watch his performance.

“A Hollow’s Reiatsu is different from a Soul Reaper’s,” Shin said with a casual smile. “And while I’ve never met Kuchiki Kōga and don’t know his specific spiritual pressure, all I have to do is scan the entirety of Hueco Mundo.”

“I was wondering what brilliant plan you had,” Yoruichi said, her mouth twitching uncontrollably. “I didn’t think it would be something so… absurd. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to scan the entirety of Hueco Mundo?”
