Shuuhei sat nervously at his chair in the Army enlistment agency. For as long as Shuuhei could remember all he wanted to do in life was to join the army, and today was the day he was being reviewed for enlistment. He had passed all his written and physical tests and now he was at the last step of his journey. Today would ultimately decide the raven haired boy's future.
At long last an older looking man stepped into the office holding Shuuhei's enlistment paperwork. Shuuhei nervously eyed the man and began tapping his leg on the wooden floor.
The old man stopped in front of Shuuhei's chair and extended a hand to Shuuhei. "Hello, you must be Mr. Hisagi. I am Head General Yamamoto."
The raven haired boy stood up to shake the man's hand and nodded. "Yes I'm Shuuhei."
General Yamamoto shook his hand back and gave a abrupt nod. "Please be seated, we have quite a bit to discuss."
Shuuhei sat back in his uncomfortable wooden seat and eyed the man.
" I have read over your enlistment form and it appears rather interesting to say the least." Said General Yamamoto
Shuuhei gripped his chair and nodded at the grey haired General. "Yes sir, I've been working at this for a while now. It's all I've ever wanted."
The General interlaced his fingers and looked into curiously into Shuuhei's eyes. "Mr. Hisagi… My first question is what do you think qualifies you to be a solider?"
Shuuhei started to slowly regain confidence and regain memory of why he was here and what he needed to accomplish. Shuuhei's eyes began to blaze with confidence. The raven haired boy lifted his head and gave a quick smirk to the head general and began to answer the question.
" Head General Yamamoto, since the time I was nine I have always wanted to be solider. I belive it is my calling to serve our country and protect to the best of my abilities as a human. You see sir, when I was a young child my house was ransacked by the rebels and since I grew up with no father around it was simply my mother and I. But during the shouts of the rebels some one over heard. The person who heard was a Military officer. He barged in and apprehended the rebels and saved my family. If it was not for that man I would not be sitting here today in this office."
Shuuhei took a deep breath and looked into the understanding eyes of the Head General.
"It was that man who made me want to enlist in the military. That man is my soul purpose for living."
The captain eyed him trying to decipher the raven haired boys words.
" Shuuhei, that is a very touching story. I love to hear a boy with such a passion for joining the army. It sounds like you have quite a plan figured out. But here is my next question… What is your affiliation with Sergeant Muguruma?" said Yamamoto
Shuuhei let out a very faint blush. Shuuhei took in a deep breath and lifted his head high and moved his shoulders back.
"Sergeant Muguruma was the Sergeant that saved me and my mother on that fateful day. That man is my hero. I want to be like him… I wish to repay my debt to him"
Yamamoto picked up a radio and looked into the hazel eyes of Shuuhei
"Perhaps we should notify Sergeant Muguruma so you can meet him?"
A sheer look of panic spread across Shuuhei's face
"Please sir! Don't tell Muguruma im here. Kensei must not know of me." Shouted a frantic Shuuhei
The General put down his radio and crossed his arms.
"Boy this isn't some game here. Lives are lost in the army. Why would you not want him to know you are here?" said Yamamoto
Shuuhei stood up and slammed his fist into the desk
" Because I don't want Kensei to see me until he see's how far I have come from that day! How I'm not some whiny kid anymore. I need to earn his respect in order to earn his trust."
Yamamoto smiled at the raven haired boy.
"Shuuhei… My my you have quite a fire in you. I like to see that. So in turn I will honor your request and not speak of you or who you are."
Shuuehei sighed in relief and shifted in his chair
" Thank you General" Said Shuuhei
" One thing. You better be prepared for this. The army is not a easy place… and neither is General Muguruma. He is stubborn,arrogant and aggressive… He is also a perfect solider. You will be lucky if you make it a day in his squadron" Uttered Yamamoto
Shuuhei gave the General a look of confusion
" General what do you mean?"said Shuuhei
"What I mean is that you are here by enlisted in to company of Squad 9, the Vanguard squad, The 69th squad as they put it now. So you Shuuhei Hisagi are now a solider" Yamamoto stood up and out stretched his hand to the now in shock Shuuhei "Welcome to the force kid"
Shuuhei stood up an shook the Generals hand with a tight firm grip.
" I promise I won't let you down!"
Yamamoto filled out the paper work and handed it to Shuuhei.
"You report at the airport tomorrow at 8am. And don't be late. I will have someone to pick you up at your house at 7 am."
Shuuhei nodded and saluted the General. Shuuhei left the Office and drove happily home in his Jeep eager to start his new life as a solider.
