Ichigo Kurosaki vs. The Reigai

Prologue
Ichigo Kurosaki runs alongside Yasutora Sado and Orihime Inoue, in search for Rukia Kuchiki's reiatsu. He asks Orihime whether it was nearby the river, to which she confirms it. As Ichigo prepares to rush off and assist them, Orihime volunteers to go in his place, stating that he needs to search for Nozomi Kujō. He agrees, telling Sado to go with Orihime, as the three of them split up. Meanwhile, Kon is still directing Nozomi towards the shrine, who asks him why it is taking so long.
