Sen Ichiro age 16

Sen smiled packing her clothes away from her last holiday, there was a knock at her small room. She felt her paper thin slide door open and she, as custom, bowed. "Sensei what can I do for you?" She asked.

He nodded and pulled a boy in she didn't recognise which was hard because she had been living at the dojo since she was four years old. "This is Daniel Shepard. Dan, this is Sen Ichiro, she's yourr guide follow everything she says and you will be setteled in no time. Daniel is on Alliance scolarship for training and Sen is bording here under bed and board"

Sensie left and Sen beamed at him. "He's usually that blunt. I'm Sen Kai Ichiro, Sen for short." She properly introduced herslef.

"Daniel Shepard" The boy smiled back at her, Sen noticed the small tattoo on his arm. That was the Tenth Street Reds tattoo, well this was going to be interesting. "Pleasure's all mine and please call me Shepard"


Sen Ichiro age 25

Sen rolled her shoulders in her military fantigues. Shepard's trial would be coming up soon, she knew it well, they kept in contact over the years since he had first arrived at the dojo when she was sixteen, brushing a strand of her black straight her bheind her ear she stood at attention as Anderson walked down the hall with Shepard's guard James Vega was it? And in tow Shepard arguing with him. Shepard stopped short a bit gobbsmacked makiing her slightly chuckle

She smirked and waved a little holding her three middle fingers on her right hand over Sen's heart. The used this symbol to tell each other they had something going on. Shepard nodded doing the same quickly lowering it. Sen walked up to Anderson delivering her report.

"Master Chief Ichiro, this is Commander Shepard. You two have met before I take it fron the hand signal?" Anderson questioned.

Sen nodded and smiled. "That's how we told each other it is time to cause trouble" Sen responed.

"Sen you were the one who decided a frying pan and a lamp wouldn't light an office on fire. And you were wrong" Shepard teased crossing his arms.

"Hey you lit the same office on fire a week later with a lantern! So don't you get started on my cooking habits!" Sen stuck her tounge out. They continued walking, until they were stopped outside.

"So?" Shepard whispered to her.

"I can't tell you" She mumlbed back.

Shepard looked up at somone or some people. "Ashley, Kaiden" Shepard startled.

A man and a woman looked up at the two, Sen elbowed Shepard who glared at her, in the stomach to stop him gaping. "How did it go in there?" Anderson asked.

"I can never tell with them Sir, right now I'm just wiating for what comes next" The woman responded. Sen knew what would happen, they would try to disgrace Shepard until there was nothing left, she turned to Shepard who was going nervious. Being a soldier was all he knew.

"Don't be nervous. Trust me your the best soldier they have and there is no way I am letting them have Insanity as a charge against you without me geting it first" Sen lightened the mood.

"Thanks Sen" He rolled his eyes. "Nice to know my best friend is not exactly helpful when she is crazy" Vega walked up to her as Shepard was called into the chambers.

"You know the commander?" Vega asked.

"I used to" The man before said.

"I lived with him" Sen admitted. The trio looked at her surprised.

"What?" The woman asked.

"I lived with Dan for a few years, we're good friends" She smiled a little. "He didn't tell you? We used to pull each others hair for days on end"

Sen had to seperate herself as she got a raised brow from Shepard as to where she was going. "I have to head to the Normandy and check on the big guns. I'll come and see you late if I can" Sen dismissed herself.

She barely made it out of the building when it rocked knocking her to the ground her arm caught her weight when she fall but Sen knocked her head causing an impact and bleeding on her forehead, Sen gripped the nearest thing her height as she stood up slowly, everything was blurry and a mess. The outside on the building had collapsed She ran to the nearest bunker full of weapons while grabbing a riffle.

She turned to head out before someone caught her steadying her balance. "Woah there"

"Hi, lend a hand?" She threw her riffle at him as they ran to the Normandy as all hell broke loose.


Sen clenched her hands as Shepard told her to wait and she wasn't going to wait while he got himself shot at. A beep came from her Omni tool. She went to a private area on the ship and answered quickly, her old master was the one looking to talk to her.

"Sensei?" She questioned.

"Don't trust your brother" Was all she got.
