The dark haired man gave his three students a smile. "I will leave that up to you. Since this is technically a mission I'm required to go with you, even though it's only around the village. I will not interfere nor will I dictate your moves. You must decide things as a team and I want to see that you're all capable of doing so." Minoru gathered the file before closing it and setting it back onto the table just shy of his cup. 

"You will be required to meet with the Aisukage soon, all of you. Kasumi there are things about your teammates that you must know." Minoru wanted to rip the bandaid off right now. Better now than later, which could lead to a chance that the boy would loose trust in his teammates. Koharu's serious face cracked and Minoru could see the nervousness that pushed it's way to the top. The other patrons paid them no attention as Minoru spoke. He lowered his voice as an extra precaution; who knows what someone would do if they happened to catch wind but would fail to understand the importance of what he was saying. "Their clans, the Moriya and Wakahisa have been in this village since the beginning...and the beginning is where we shall start.

The clan heads of the Moriya and Wakahisa found Kouri, a beast that has given protection in times of need. Every few generations one member from each of their clans is born with a link to Kouri." 

Koharu was staring down at the table. Her hands were wrapped around the small beige colored tea cup and Minoru could see the way that her knuckles were beginning to turn white.

Souma gave the woman a nod before disappearing from hsr office. Minoru wasn't hardto find, the man was a creature of habit after all. Souma was surprised that he was telling the odd man out, Kasumi, about the history of the Moriya ans Wakahisa. "Couldn't wait for Aisukage-sama to tell him?" Souma teased lightly. He had been a classmate of Minoru's and the two had been on the same team for a while before moving to the next rank together and taking different paths. They rarely spoke nowadays, and even when they did it was minimal. 

"I didn't know if she would tell him or not. I assume that she's called for them?" Minoru said as he stood up. 

Koharu turned to watch the blond man before turning her attention to her teammates. "Are you okay Kasumi? Akaya?" Nit many people outside of their clans knew about Kouri or their links to him. She didn't want Kasumi to think they were freaks.

Souma smiled softly. There was a great deal ofthe typical Wakahusa coldness in the girl but he could see that she was a bit worried that her teammate would have an unsavory opinion about them. Souma explained that they needed to head to the Aisukage's office while he asked Minoru a few questions. Before Minoru could protestthat his team needed him there, Souma sent them away.
