Ganju had opened his mouth to thank Urahara for his hospitality. But then Kisuke had addressed Hanatarou so he stood back and waited for them to be done talking.
He found it odd that the man seemed to be teasing Hana (although, he couldn't figure out just what it was making his friend so nervous). Hanatarou was shy and Ganju was mindful of that but he also felt like there was something he was missing.

Raito groaned, massaging her temples and walking toward nowhere. The hollow she had been sent to kill was gone again and her frustration only grew. A shout drew her attention and she sighed heavily, walking toward it.
A little red haired boy was teasing an obviously older girl and pulling on her hair. She made a face and read the store's name, faintly remebering it being mentioned by some of the other seated officers. Giving in to her back's twinges of pain from sleeping in some creepy park the night before, she sat down at the gate, putting her head down and trying to think. The quiet popping noise her spine made was enough to make her shudder, but the pain had lessened and she was extremely greatful.
Raito sensed another spiritual pressure from inside the building but didn't get up, figuring it would be bad for her if she just busted into some guy's shop without a reason.
'Queen... I know you can hear me... don't ignore me today, please?' Raito sighed heavily at the creepy echo of Raiden's voice. 'You were quiet until now, go back to sleep or bug Ru. I'm trying to take a quick break' Raito replied, hearing her hollow whine like some kicked puppy. 'Aww, ok. I'll leave you alone for a while...' Raito smiled and thanked her silently, becomming lost in thought.

After a reassurance from Urahara that he would replace Hanatarou's soul candy later in the day, the shinigami was the one to show Ganju their (now) shared room.
Hanatarou also set about doing chores around the shop; shockingly good with customers due to his days spent in that convenience shop, it was not long before Hanatarou escorted a bag of nonburnable trash outside.
"Ah-! I-I'm sorry-!" He had nearly tripped over someone at the gate; a first impression of bright hair and pale skin, Hanatarou all but embraced the bag as he tried to apologize.

Raito felt someone trip over her and she jumped up, staring almost right into Hanatarou's eyes. She quickly bowed, her hair brushing the ground. "7th seat Yamada-san! I'm soo sorry!" She apologised, standing up and feeling her spine pop to realign the bones. She looked at the ground, "A-are you alright?" She asked, slowly looking up.

She was slightly taller than he, but Hanatarou was used to casting his glance slightly upwards for nearly everyone else. "Erm-" He gave her a puzzled look, although mirrored the bow– nearly hitting her with the bag– and glanced about as if an answer might appear out of thin air. "H-h-have we met?" Head tipped to the side as he examined her; no, he would have recalled such a memorable apperance. How else would she know his rank and name?

Ganju happened to have been walking by the door and spotted Hanatarou speaking to a long-haired shinigami. He stepped out of the shoten upon hearing the woman apologize to Hanatarou for nearly bumping into him.
"Who's this, Hana? Do you know her?" he asked. Of course, Hana had just asked her the same thing but Ganju was just as perplexed by the woman's sudden appearance as Hanatarou was, judging by his trade-mark stammering and the way he was glancing at her as if trying to recall where he knew her from.

Oh my, I forgot he doesn't know me! Crap, what am I, some creep stalker?! Her face flushed with embarassment. "N-no but I saw you at the 4th division talking with Captain Unohana. I-I came in with a broken bone, head wound and a concussion." She rattled off quickly, blushing dark red. "M-my name's Raito. 8th squad and 6th s-seat." I noticed the tall muscular man now beside hanatarou and bowed to him as well. "G-Goodmorning sir."

The mention of his Division had Hanatarou perking up. "Oh?" Someone had paid attention enough to recall his name? That made the little shinigami smile in a happy little surprise. "Ah, a moment-" He hefted the bag and dashed off to deposit it, before returning. Giving Ganju a quick look, then gave the woman another silent gaze. "Erm, I'm sorry– just a bit surprised. Are you here for Urahara-san, miss...?"

Raito blinked in surprise. "U-um no... I don't even really know where I am," She mumbled, blushing darker. "I'm sorry if I b-bothered you... I've been chasing a hollow since yesterday b-but I lost it again and stopped here to rest."
She was now absolutely sure her face must be darker than her hair, embarassed from making a fool of herself and for not being able to catch a lone hollow.

"No need to be so nervous, Raito-san." Ganju grinned. Finding it funny that this Shinigami was apparently intimidated by Hanatarou of all people. Or perhaps she was embarrassed? Ganju couldn't really tell. "Hana doesn't bite!"

It was quite rare to have anyone, even a female, react towards him with such a nervous manner or a blush. Hanatarou wished he had something to hold, his hands feeling very empty. "No need to be nervous, Raito-san! have you a surname?" He felt uneasy calling a stranger by their given name, but he could hardly admit that.

She blushed darker when the larger man beside Hanatarou said the 7th seat wouldn't bite."N-no Yamada-san. I don't have a surname... I-I never had a name honestly. I inherited my Father's name when he died." Raito smiled softly and glanced between Hanatarou and the large man.
"U-um, I'm sorry. W-what's your name?" I asked the tall guy, seeing his grin grow wider the more she apologised.

"Ah! Sorry. Shiba Ganju." Ganju bowed, feeling a bit embarrassed that he'd forgotten to introduce himself. "You stutter just like Hana!" he pointed out. It was a good-natured comment; he thought the nervous stammering was slightly adorable.

Hanatarou looked ever so faintly taken-aback at that remark, and quite contrary to his usual reactions, turned a faint expression very reminiscent of a pout on Ganju. "I-I do not–" Lip bitten to cut himself short, Hanatarou turned back to Raito. His face was slightly tinged as he asked, "You mentioned a Hollow, Raito-san. Are you injured?"

Yamada-san's blushing? Raito blushed darker and thought about his question for a moment. She had taken quite a hit when thestupid hollow snuck up on her earlier... It's probably nothing but she really shoud make sure....
"I don't know for sure. I-I um... W-would you mind c-checking my back?" She asked, "I-it's been bothering me for a few hours... T-the hollow s-snuck up on m-me..." she mumbled, getting quieter.
