The sound of geta shoes against the timber floor echoed through Squad 5's corridors as she desperately tried to make sense of the map in her hands. Left, right and left once more – she had long been lost and as of now she was exactly 36 minutes, 47 seconds and 12 milliseconds late. She was mentally cursing herself as she totally screwed up her chances of getting recruited into squad 5. There isn't a single Captain who would recruit an unpunctual Shinigami.
Coming to a halt, she let out a frustrated sigh and glanced at the map once more hoping to make sense of it. To her misfortune there was also no one in sight who could assist her in finding Squad 5 Captain's office. So once more she took a random turn and relied on luck to reach her destination.
41 minutes late, 47 minutes, 53, 58… her mental clock was ticking and the more the time passing, the more her frustration grew. After a dozen other turns she found herself at the gardens of Squad 5 which were filled with blooming Sakura trees. At that instant she spotted from the corner of her eyesight a speck of blond hair fading into another corridor. At the realization that she finally came across a person whom she could ask for the exact location of squad 5 Captain's office she flash stepped to reach the person.
'…Excuse me but could you direct me to your Captain's office?' She uttered lightly in the hopes that the blond person she presumed to be a woman would assist her. However when she came face to face with the blond person she realized it was a man. 'My, of course, but may I ask what business do you have with the Captain?'
'An interview, unfortunately I managed to get lost and I am currently 1 hour, 47 seconds and 2 milliseconds late.' She replied after a moment's pause due to needing to process the fact that a man could have such silky-looking hair.
The man's brown eyes glistened with detestation at the recognition that this was the woman he had been waiting for an hour at his office and that due to her being so late he was forced by his lieutenant to complete more paper work than what he intended while waiting for her. Sparring her one last glance, he resumed his stroll down the corridor, 'Follow me.' If she wanted to get hold of Squad 5's third seat she would have to prove herself and unlike the other candidates for the spot her interview would be much harder due to her tardiness. After all, Hirako Shinji couldn't just bypass the opportunity to get back at the person who was responsible for making him do more paper work…
