Rukia Kuchiki, the ex-Soul Reaper responsible for Ichigo\'s transformation, is on the lam. Her brethren at the Soul Society are quite displeased with the fact that she transferred the powers of a Soul Reaper to a human and have dispatched two of their strongest agents to neutralize the situation.

But an unlikely third party is standing in their way: Uryu Ishida, the Quincy!
