[CycloneKira]

Akira is a good listener. He does not interrupt the woman as she talks. It is interesting, the way she decides whether to tell him her name or not. He bows when she finally tells him. "Pleased to meet you, Yukiyama-san," he says. He wonders whether he should tell her that he is the "rogue" ninja she was looking for. She might just start attacking him again. And that would be a pain. Literally. His arm hadn't stopped hurting him yet.

Finally, he makes up his mind. "My name is Akira Koga. I used to be a part of the Koga clan," he says, and braces himself, ready to jump out of the way if she attacks again.
