Summary
The story begins with Tōshirō Hitsugaya finding Izuru Kira and Gin Ichimaru. Gin tells Tōshirō that Momo Hinamori will be here any minute, Tōshirō says he'll kill him before she can get here. Then, from above, Momo arrives and attacks Hitsugaya, saying that he is Sōsuke Aizen's killer. She says that Hitsugaya's true motive about the execution of Rukia Kuchiki is to get the power of the execution blade, the Sōkyoku, which is immensely powerful. Tōshirō tries to fend off Momo, but she is determined to kill him (albeit with a depressed and confused manner). Tōshirō knocks Momo out and begins his battle with Ichimaru. Meanwhile Ichigo Kurosaki has just finshed his first day of training and is preparing for his second.
