Shou finally graduated from the Academy, and in great time. Within a year Shou had passed the Academy and was easily the top of his class which frustrated people as Shou was so young compared to them. Shou immediately wanted to see what each Squad had to offer in terms of their higher ups and duties, recently the Soul Society had come under attack from Arrancar and thankfully the Academy was untouched but still the thought of the Shinigami's defences being so weak was worrying...then again, they were deceived. 

Shou wandered around in the small crowds and made his way around the barracks, he had passed a few barracks and they seemed somewhat empty however he checked out a few that seemed a bit busier. One was filled with a dumb guy with a big sword beating his subordinates up, another was filled with a big loser hitting on some women in his Squad. All Shou did was shake his head and mumble to himself "His love life must be such a string of misery" Shou moved on to other barracks. The 12th seemed to freaky, 9th was a bit to...meh, 8th was just filled with weird women and some rather camp looking guy, 7th was near on empty, the 6th had a pole dancer and a cold captain, the 5th was to...odd, 4th was to healy and sick people weirded him out a bit, 3rd was in a bit of turmoil, 2nd was not his style and the 1st....well...they weren't accepting as they wanted to encourage other Shinigami to join the other squads.

Shou ended up sat on a bench kicking his feet in the air as he was to small for his feet to touch the ground "Where do I go? all these Squads seem weird...none of them seem to have anything that good. Maybe I should look again?" Shou then let out a sigh as his head dropped, Shou then looked up and noticed a tumble weed roll by which made him raise an eyebrow "Why is there a tumble weed in the Soul Society? " Shou then heard a voice come from behind him which made him jump off the bench and turn to look at the man who spoke "[b]Calm down. I'm not going to hurt you...but it's pretty neat that isn't it? the tumble weed I mean.[/b]" Shou blinked at the man then spoke "Hmm...it does look like it could be fun. How did you get a tumble weed though?" The man clicked his fingers causing the tumble weed to go up in a small poof of smoke "[b]It's one of my custom Kido's...sure it's silly but as you pointed out, it's a bit of fun. I just retired from my position as Lieutenant of Squad 10 to open up a shop that sells fun little Kido's like that one...well...that and a few serious ones. I only sell the fun one's to people I like. The name is Ryota just to let you know, in case you were wondering[/b]" Shou nodded at the man then spoke "Well this seems awesome! I think it's a great use of Kido, can help make it fun!" Shou said with a smile on his face "[b]Well then, this one is on the house...but make sure to come visit my shop, directions will be on this paper.[/b]" Ryota then handed Shou a small piece of paper with instructions for the Kido then he vanished himself in a cloud of smoke leaving Shou holding a small piece of paper looking confused however a smile soon formed on his face as he held the paper up in the air "YES! That guy is awesome! I wonder what else he has created!? Oh I've got to learn this as soon as possible!" 

Shou's expression then turned to that of a serious one as he thought for a second "But first...I need to get into a Squad..." Shou tucked the paper away into his uniform then jumped back up onto the bench and began thinking once again, he just needed some help with this...he needed a sign or something...someone to point him the right direction
