Before exiting the barracks she gave herself a second to look at it all, she took a deep sigh. Moving up from a third seat to a Lieutenant position was a big deal and it wasn’t something she was just going to let happen without seriously putting her best foot forward. Before she left she made sure to visit all the other seated Shinigami wishing them the best and whatnot. Hinode happened upon the seventh squadron barracks, they looked relatively similar to the second squadron, though there was some less pronounced more minute differences. She stepped inside and took a deep breath, this was her new home. She proceeded to ask the nearest member of squad where she could find the Captain’s office. She could hear the whispers from around her. [i]”Is that the new lieutenant?” “She looks like nothing, a scrawny blondie.” “Even I could take her.”[/i] [color=fff79a]“Yes I am your new Lieutenant. Trust me when I say it would not be wise to challenge either me or Shinken here.”[/color] Hinode said putting a steady grip on her sword held horizontally on her back. No one really seemed to step forward, not wanting to test their new lieutenant. [i]”New lieutenant, well I’ve been a member of this squadron for as long as you’ve been in the Seireitei.”[/i] A man said unsheathing his weapon and pointing it at Hinode. [color=fff79a]“Name and rank?”[/color] Hinode said her eyes fixating on the man who dare challenge her. [i]“Kihade, 5th seat.”[/i] He grumbled. [color=fff79a]“It’s nice to meet you.”[/color] Hinode said her posture adjusting slightly, left foot behind her right. She unsheathed her Zanpakuto showing it to him, before placing it at her feet. [color=fff79a]“If you wish to fight me, I will not use Shinken, I do not wish to hurt you, but I fear you’re not in a listening mood.”[/color] Hinode said calmly raising her fists in a boxer’s stance. After a quiet moment Hinode slowly extender her right arm forward. [color=fff79a]“Will you try to strike me?” [/color] Hinode asked, a small grin forming on her mouth. [i]“You’ll never be my lieutenant!”[/i] Kihade yelled running at Hinode aiming a stab of his sealed-katana Zanpakuto. Hinode calmly stepped to the side simply stating [color=fff79a]“Taketonbo”[/color] before Kihade could glance over at her he was looking up at his lieutenant gasping for air. She retrieved her Zanpakuto and gave a small wave to the rest of the squadron. She pushed open the Captain’s office doors and bowed deeply. “[color=fff79a]It’s nice to meet you, my name is Hinode Kōgeki, newly appointed lieutenant of the second squadron.”[/color] As her bow was deep and the doors were wide open, it is quite possible Kaizo could easily and adequately see the scene that had just unfolded. She rose from her bow and gave him a warm grin [color=fff79a]“I look forward to serving you, Captain.” [/color]
