Welcome to Gaia! ::

Auron, having just received his new orders and transfer papers, began his walk towards the office of the Captain of the Ninth Division. He was filled with both pride and hesitation as he drew closer to his destination. Thoughts of his time and training continued to fill his mind as the frays of his shihakushō slowly drifted in the breeze. He was continually asked why it is he chose to wear his old and ragged uniform, the ends were frayed and ripped, it looked weathered and well used, but Auron continued to wear his beloved shihakushō with pride as his had seen him through tough times and was the only one his beloved Jade had seen him in. Tension grew in his neck as thoughts of jade welled up in hi mind. He asked himself if she would be proud, would she even still remember him as his lips furrowed and eyes reflected sadness. With a small shake of his head and a tight squint Auron returned his gaze forward a stone and stern look across his face, lips tight and stoic. This was his usual demeanor and though it was not always a facade he did not like to show his true emotions. Auron occasionally reviewed the papers in his hand often going back to his test scores from the academy. He was not pleased with his kido qualifications only just barely passing his exams, while his zanjutsu scores put him at the top of his class. It was his hope that his new Captain would accept Auron as his Lieutenant, but Auron had not heard much about the Captain of the Ninth Division.

Auron made his way to the Ninth Division barracks and quickly found the hallway to the Captains office. Finally approaching the door he carefully read the sign and proceeded to knock. Knock..knock...knock...and no answer, "Hello Captain Yasaibatake, permission to enter sir..," Auron waited a moment and upon not receiving an answer opened the door. His piercing yellow eyes scanned the room as a hint of puzzlement and disgust crossed his face. The Captains office appeared to be a mess with papers from all sorts of subjects scattered everywhere. As Auron entered he heard the small sound of crumpling paper as he looked down to find he was stepping on a small stack of files. Slowly Auron bent down and lifted the papers looking through them with slight curiosity. They appeared to be a reporters column about the recent attacks and the current state of affairs. Auron pulled his gaze from the column and approached the Captain's desk carefully placing both the reporters column and his own personnel file and orders on the desk on top of a another stack of papers. Just as Auron began to look towards the closet the files he had just placed began to fall off the desk. With quick reflexes, Auron was able to catch the files only to have another large portion of papers fall off the desk and on to the floor joining the mess. Auron drew in a deep breath and sighed as he returned the files in his hand to the captains desk before walking over to the closet. With some reluctance Auron opened the closet to find it empty save for a small cot. Auron had a new found respect for his new Captain, though as much of a slob as Captain Yasaibatake appeared to be given the state of his office it was clear to Auron he was a hard worker and cared about his duties.

As Auron withdrew from the closet it was clear Captain Yasaibatake was not in his office. Auron thought for a moment and then exited the office careful not to step on anymore papers or files. He figured it would be best to wait outside the office before remembering he heard about a Captains meeting taking place at the Division One barracks. With that Auron disappeared with a quick shunpo as he made his way towards the Division One barracks hoping to catch his captain after the meeting.
