"Say, how've ya been Asu-chan, I haven't seen you in ages! Woah, look at all these guys you're sitting around with… Looks like you got yourself caught in your own harem, Asuka! Well, I guess that's to be expected coming from a girl like you, you know what I'm saying?" The arrival of the new girl involved quite an entrance and just like Toko, she knew Asuka well. Ironic how the disciplined, quiet and somewhat reserved girl was the centre of the party. "H-harem...?" Toko blinked a few time and looked around. There was in fact several males there and not nearly as many females, that was an interesting twist. Toko was never one to lay any weight or even notice on a person's gender, but now that that the new girl, Kanon, pointed it out, he could clearly see the picture. Kanon was no new face but she was certainly a new acquaintance. "Uhm, hello, Kanon-San." The boy spoke softly, looking at her with a minimal smile. She was incredibly light hearted and it was rather refreshing, given the incredibly serious atmosphere of a ninja's life, however at times it was hard to follow her jokes. Toko's circle of thoughts was cut short soon after another person entered the restaurant, Mao-Sensei. Seeing him immediately made the boy's heart drop into a pit in his stomach, eyeing the man who would now be his new teacher. Mao was incredibly different, someone who stuck out from the masses but only when he wanted to. His incredible skill spoke volumes all on its own and it was an honour to be trained by such an amazing ninja. Catching himself blushing with a set of hot cheeks, Toko quickly looked down and remained silent. [i]"What's wrong with me...?"[/i] He shook his head slightly, turning his eyes to Mao-Sensei once more as the man continued to speak and ate the sweets. Toko himself had never been much of a fan when it came to sweets, a rather odd and uncommon norm for a boy his age. Maybe it was just an idolised crush on someone he aspired to surpass one day, someone he truly looked up to, but either way it would cloud the boy's judgement and actions unless he was able to get it under control. "It...is a pleasure to meet you, Mao-Sensei..." He managed, his voice quiet as it usually was but sounded slightly uncertain as well.
