Bakamaru was shocked at the news that had been given to him. Back during his time with the soul society, he had been a close friend of the Kuchiki family, Byakuya in particular. He had met Rukia many times in the soul society, and she had always seemed nice enough. He couldn't fathom why the soul society would want her executed, she had always been a soul reaper who played by the book, never breaking code.
But he could sense Kimisa's urgency.
"Why don't we walk and talk at the same time?" he said as they walked back towards the shop.
"Yes, I know the Kuchiki family, back when I was with the soul society I was good friends with her brother Byakuya. Is he doing anything about this?" he asked Kimisa worriedly, he was sure that Byakuya would do something to help her.
Then he looked over at Orihime, he had forgotten his manners and had not introduced himself.
"My name is Bakamaru Ishihara." he said with a polite smile.
They were both very odd to him, they were both mortals, and yet they possessed a fair amount of reiatsu, they didn't have the aura of a shinigami or a hollow. He had never asked Kimisa how she had gotten her powers, he didn't even know if Kimisa had known who he really was.
And as they were walking, he looked back to Kimisa, still having questions.
"So is it safe to assume that this group you're gathering is going to mount some sort of rescue attempt?" he asked.

Kimisa nodded quietly and began walking towards Urahara Shoten. She listened and nodded as Bakamaru explained how he knew Rukia. Her eyes narrowed at Byakuya's name. She had heard everything that had happened the night Rukia had been taken back into the Soul Society.
Shaking her head, she replied in a rather cold voice. "It appeared to me that he was all for her execution." She went silent for a moment, she still couldn't believe that Rukia's own brother would go through with something like this.
Silence broke as Bakamaru introduced himself to Orihime, who was walking behind them. She smiled at him, "It's nice to meet you, I'm Orihime Inoue." She said, and then caught up to Kimisa's side.
As they got closer to their destination, Kimisa looked at Bakamaru as he asked another question. She nodded, finding words to explain.
"Yes," she said, the whole thought of it seemed impossible, "We've been planning this for about a week now, and we are about ready to put things in motion."

So his zanpakuto had been right the whole time. Something big was about to god own in the soul society, he still didn't know why Rukia was going to be executed, but he could tell that it was not just, or for the wrong reasons. What surprised him the most was the fact that Byakuya had seemed to be in favor of the whole thing. Something was indeed wrong, this was not the Byakuya he had known for years and years, there was a big piece of this puzzle that he was still missing. He needed to know what had happened to warrant such an unlikely turn of events. So fate had decided for him, he would help save Rukia, though he wasn't too thrilled about returning to the soul society.
"Well if you're going to break into the soul society, you'll need someone who knows the lay of the land, so I might as well go with you. Besides, once we're there, every shinigami in there will be after you, and I would rather you not die Kimisa."
With that, he broke ahead of the two of them to get to Urahara Shoten, the faster he got there, the faster he would get his answers.
Very casually, he opened the front door to the shop. When he walked in, he could see Kiyusuke and his two workers, a black cat who he could only assume was Yoruichi Shihouin, and two others that he did not recognize.
"Kimisa and Orihime are right behind me." he said to the crowd.
"Kiyusuke, I've been informed about the situation with Rukia Kuchiki, and for all intents and purposes you can count me in. Something is clearly wrong here, the balance is is in danger of being broken."
While waiting for him to respond, he could see the strange looks the others were giving him. He wasn't surprised, none of them had probably ever met a vaizard before. But his attention was drawn to the black cat again.
"Is that you Yoruichi-san?" he asked.

(( I will do that too...sorry I havent been on.))
Yoruichi sensed the vaizard before Kamisa had left the room. When Bakamaru made his appearance, she shifted slightly and looked up at him with calm eyes. It hit her as he spoke how helpful he could be in this situation. As he turned to her and spoke she nodded, "Yes, it's me." she replied in her deep voice, pausing briefly and noticing Nero's expression and then looking back at Bakamaru. If she were in her human form, she might have smiled. She didn't tell him everything. "Conscider yourself a part of the group then." She said, her tail twitching, impressed by how aware the vaizard was about everything.
As he introduced himself to everyone, she blinked, forgetting that he had once lived in the Soul Society. What a coincidence, although she was sure he wasn't too fond of the idea of returning, especially to bust a criminal out of prison.
