Sora Shiba is husband of Kûkaku Shiba, who is Rukongai's #1 Fireworks Except, and someone to NEVER mess with. The two have met when Sora had just arrived. But when Kûkaku first laid eyes upon him, something clicked between the two, and they later...
The bonds unravel off of Rukia's wrist and into the collar of her neck.
Escort: Lieutenant Abarai... Thank you for escorting the prisoner. Now...we must go.
Renji: Eh? Very well.
Before Renji left, he turn back to Rukia and walks up to her.
Escort: Hey! Lieutenant?!
Renji places his hand on Rukia's shoulder and moves close to her ear.
Renji: Here's a tidbit... Of idle gossip for you. Yesterday... Some new Ryoka entered the Soul Society. There were five of them. One of them...was a Soul Reaper with a sword as tall as he was. A Soul Reaper with orange hair.
As soon as Renji mentioned Ichigo's description, Rukia looks at him with a look of surprise on her face, a look that shows life in her eyes.

Later
Renji could now be seen walking through the barracks, thinking about Rukia's expression, not too long ago.
Renji's thoughts: All these days... Seeing her...so alive...
As he was thinking to himself, he then thinks about Ichimaru, who encountered the Ryoka, earlier.
Renji's thoughts: Ichimaru intercepted him... Could he really be alive? It was probably better that I didn't tell her that part...
???: Hey!
Renji stops when he heard someone calling to him. He looks to see someone waving at him.
???: Hello!
Renji: Aizen...
The one called Aizen is a Soul Reaper with short, brown hair and brown eyes, and wears the same black kimono like Renji, but with the addition of the white captains coat.
