[b][center]Mamoru Senju meets a new friend ?[/center][/b]

Mamoru gladly accepted the tea invitation and was sipping his favorite green tea together with Aiko-sama. They had a friendly conversation, and Mamoru felt just like during the months of training. And Aiko-sama was right about one thing - he was even more worked up to start doing missions. Just as he thought about that, he was interrupted by an introduction. Mamoru turned towards Koike and was surprised to see his extended hand, but returned the handshake immediately. Not too strong, not too weak - with a healthy, firm grasp.[b]"Nice to meet you, Koike. My name is Mamoru, Mamoru Senju. I hope we will get along ... and, I look forward to working with you in one team."[/b] He studied Koike for a while - something told him that he and Koike could become good friends, given enough time and opportunities to work together as one team. He could not resist his curiosity though as he noticed the blade on Koike´s back.

[b]" You are a kenjutsu user as well, right? If so ... I hope we can learn a lot from each other and help each other ... as good team members."[/b]
