(OoC Note: JT it didn't fit in the title. I'm training for Stat Points)

Joshua was the newest member of Squad 7. He was excited and enthusiastic. He had wanted to join this squad since he was an Academy student. He hated criminals and those that hurt the innocent. He felt that this squad shared his ideals and goals. He was interested to learn more about the squad and its members, especially his new captain. The leader of the squad would be the basis of how good the squad would be.

He was getting closer to the squad 7 barracks now. The place he would call home now. He would train here, prepare here, and build relationships here, with his squad mates and his captain. He had made his way here, doing everything he could to make it to this squad. Now that he arrived, he was nervous and a bit scared honsetly. He was unsure if he would fit it with them.

He calmed down in front of the door. Before he entered, he made sure to brush his hair to the side and wipe the sweat off of his forehead. He straightened his clothes and made sure his gloves were on straight. He dusted himself off before opening the door. He thought to himself, 'Am I ready to go in? Am I ready to see my new home, the Squad 7 barracks? I am, I can do this!' He entered to see the squad 7 barracks.

He looked around and found the main room or the common room. He placed his things down on the floor and started looking around for people. He didn't see anyone so far. He was looking around but they were all probably out on patrol or something. He heard that they do that a lot. He wondered what time they would get back. He started walking along the hallways and noticed a lot of rooms for people. 

He wondered which room was his and where everyone else had gone. It wouldn't make sense for everyone to be out at once.  Joshua did not know that there was one person in the barracks though. He started to look around the rooms, checking if anyone was there. To outsiders, he would look like he was snooping and possibly stealing stuff. He was unaware of this though and was more focused on finding anybody.

As Joshua searched the Squad 7 barracks, he’d find something peculiar. At first, he might not notice the presence of a bright red insect flying toward him from the end of the hall. However, as it drew near, the buzz would draw his attention. The ladybug made an effort to land onto Joshua’s shoulder. If the man attempted to swat the bug away, he’d find that it would block his hand with its own tiny arm before continuing to his shoulder unhindered. This was no normal insect, and even if Joshua didn’t swat at it, its strange qualities would become apparent the moment it landed on his shoulder.

Help! it exclaimed. Interestingly enough, no sound came from the ladybug. Instead, it communicated telepathically. The ladybug spoke directly into Joshua’s mind. I can’t tell if he’s even breathing half the time and I can’t wake him up. Please, follow me! Without even waiting for a response, the insect took off in the direction it came. At the end of the hallway, it turned to the left and waited anxiously by a door for Joshua to catch up. That door read the words ‘Captain Himitsu Kasumi’Oji.’

If Joshua followed, the insect would push the door open to reveal the large body of Joshua’s new captain bent over a desk. For several moments, the body was perfectly still. He didn’t even appear to be breathing. After many long seconds, the man suddenly jolted with a thunderous snore before relaxing once more onto his uncomfortable resting place.

The ladybug touched Joshua’s shoulder once more. He’s been asleep for ten hours. I’ve tried everything. Help me, random Shinigami guy. You’re my only hope.

Joshua just looked around the rooms, minding his own business. He was looking for signs of anyone else there. Aparently, no one could be found. He looked around him to see if there was a schedule of people on duty or something like that, but he didn't find anything. He then realized that he looked like he was snooping around, so he left that room and closed the door. He was just standing in the hallway confused now.

He looked around the hallway and noticed a small ladybug flying towards him. He lifted his hand up to see if it would land on his finger. It dodged the finger entirely and went straight for his shoulder. Joshua chuckled a little, this little insect was cute. Suddenly, he heard a voice in his head. It screamed for help and he was taken aback. He searched for the source of the voice but no one else was there.

He then heard the voice say that it can't tell if he was even breathing half the time and it couldn't wake him up. It also said to follow it. The lady bug flew off along the hallway and Joshua looked very confused. Was the ladybug talking to him? He wasn't sure but he knew he had to help. He rushed down along the hallway and followed the ladybug as fast as he could. He was worried about what he would find though. 

The insect opened the door labeled Captain Himitsu Kasumi'oji. Joshua gulped, looks like he found the captain's quarters. It would be very hard to explain why a captain wouldn't be breathing and was possibly dead, with Joshua being the only person there besides the bug. He went into the room and saw a large body on the desk, still and unmoving. Joshua was starting to panic a little on the inside, not sure what to do or say.

Suddenly, he heard a loud snore echo in the room and looked at the captain. He seemed to be alive, that was good. Although his sleeping position was very weird. It looked like a corpse from where he was standing. The bug said once more, it cannot wake him up. The captain had been asleep for ten hours. Joshua sighed and went to the captain. "Uh, hello Captain. Rise and shine! This ladybug has been trying to wake you up for hours now! Hello? Wake up!" He said loudly. If it didn't work, he would slowly move him around and then shake him faster and faster.

"Uh, hello Captain. Rise and shine! This ladybug has been trying to wake you up for hours now! Hello? Wake up!" Himitsu was unresponsive. Even as Joshua began to shake the large Shinigami, he’d have to start using his maximum strength before his method was finally effective. “Ughmghghghghgh,” grumbled the sleeping Himitsu as he forced his head up and opened his eyes a crack to meet Joshua’s gaze.

“Who’re you?” he asked casual as both his eyelids and head fell once more. He seemed quite tired. His medium-length brown hair was a chaotic mess atop his head, almost as messy as the piles of paper spread across various corners of his desk. Some files played the role of pillows to support the sleeping captain as he took a journey through the dream world – a journey that Joshua had cut short.

After a few moments of silence, Himitsu had come to terms with reality. He was a busy man. As both the head of the Kasumi’Oji family and the captain of Squad 7, he still had a lot of paperwork to navigate through. Worst of all, he was very new to both positions, having only taken office as captain a few days ago and becoming the Kasumi’Oji head just a few days before that. Himitsu had a lot of catching up to do.

Sighing, he eventually pulled himself up to a seated position. The captain rubbed his eyes as a yawn stretched his mouth open. Little by little, he was waking up. “Alright,” he said, his words now articulate no longer dragging as they were earlier. “What’s the damage? How long have I been out?” It seemed that Himitsu was used to his long nap breaks. Because of his irregular sleep schedule, he never seemed to be awake at the right times and always seemed to be asleep when he most certainly shouldn’t be.

“Oh, I guess I forgot to introduce myself. Sorry, I just woke up as you probably saw, haha.” The captain awkwardly chuckled as he extended his hand outward to the younger Shinigami across from him. "I'm Himitsu Kasumi'Oji, the captain of this squad." While Himitsu appeared to be in his late twenties, he was over 1100 years old. Joshua would likely never guess Himitsu’s true age, but there was something about the captain’s youth that had to feel odd. Behind his young features, Himitsu’s warm, hazel eyes and overwhelmingly genuine smiles carried a sense of confidence behind them. He wasn’t arrogant by any means, but that confidence was still present. Confidence not just in himself, but also in Joshua. If the unseated soul reaper looked for too long, he might get the feeling that Himitsu already knew him.
