Unlike usual, Hisagi had arrived at the office section of the Ninth Squad barracks just after 2pm. As soon as he had finished his normal shift last night, he had been dragged along to help the Shinigami Men's Association find a new meeting room and had been doing so ever since. He had perfect faith that their 3rd Seat had the squad's issues completely under control so there was no need to fret as much as he had been. But even with the knowledge of having the competent 3rd Seat officer, Hisagi still couldn't shake this feeling of foreboding trouble.

Strolling into the open space of the large outer office, he wasn't greeted by the habitual cheerfulness of his squad mates, but instead, uneasy looks and near-silence. Curious as to why there was such a difference in atmosphere, he asked outright. But before anyone could answer, the 3rd Seat Hisagi had put his trust in rushed through the main door and almost ran straight into the acting Captain.

"Lieutenant Hisagi! There's trouble!" The man waved his arms wildly. "Oh, what are we going to do?" A man of average height went from wailing at the top of his lungs to holding his head in shaken hands.

Hisagi raised an eyebrow in confusion, not quite understanding the need for such a carry-on. "What's happened?"

No sooner had he asked, the 3rd seat dragged him towards the Captain's office. Pushing the door open, he pointed at the intruder. "That's what's happened."

A figure hunched over the desk, face down amongst the papers strewn about as snow white hair spilled over the front in tangles.

"Do you know about this Captain Ukitake?" Hisagi glanced to the older Captain that had appeared behind them from nowhere. The white haired male smiled nervously.

All of a sudden, a pair of arms outstretched across the disorganized desk and the head of ashen hair arose. Wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, the intruder blinked at the commotion in the doorway. "What's the shouting for?" A yawn escaped her mouth as she arched her back to relieve some tension.

Ukitake took a step forward and leaned down slightly to greet the newly awoken female. "Inugami San, you're going to be late for your first meeting."

It took a moment, but when the words sunk in, she shot up, knocking over the chair she'd been sitting on in the process. "Shit!" Grabbing the cup on the desk, she chugged its cold contents while simultaneously trying fixing her hair. "What time is it?"

Keeping the awkward eye-smile while his hands were neatly behind his back, the older man which had been put in charge of the odd woman answered the all-important question. "Twenty five past two...In the afternoon..."

"Crap..." She whined as she buzzed around the room trying to get herself together. Reattaching her sword to her right side, she spared a squint for the other two men at the door. "Who're you two?"

Hisagi straightened up as her attention landed on him. "Lieutenant Hisagi Shuuhei of Squad Nine, and 3rd Seat-"

"-I see." The woman pulled the sleeveless white coat off the back of the fallen chair and slipped it on before walking over to the door. "I'm Inugami Akiha. It's nice to meet you, but I must get going." She informed nonchalantly as she marched passed the men and out into the main room.
