Her back was turned when the blades flew right past her, cutting The Princess' Kimono and hat to shred right before her eyes, putting her furry parts on display for everyone to see. Hanami protectively stood in front of Mizuki when the second wave of blades came forth, scanning the area for their assailants and finding that they were surrounded by multiple people in high and low places just judging by the hostile auras coming from the various spots around them. They would have to fight their way through the city if the plan was to make it out alive. 

"Right!" She yelled to Kushiami as she took hold of Mizuki's hand, preparing to make a run for it and quickly determining the safest route. 

"This Way!" Hanami bolted for the alleyway, seemingly empty compared to the main street where everyone was still screaming and shoving to get away from the danger. It was in no way safe, but it was less populated and the best way to keep innocent civilians from getting caught in the crossfire.

Only a few seconds into the alleyway, a shadowy figure dove from the rooftop hurling a third wave of knives at them as he made his descent. Hanami pushed Mizuki out of the way, barely dodging the knives herself as one grazed her cheek, and another across her neck. She barely flinched as the knives made contact with her skin, only concerned with Mizuki's safety. When the perpetrator landed, Hanami anticipated his attack and drew her own concealed kunai knives before throwing them and impaling his hands in multiple spots. She thought that would at least keep him from using his weapons efficiently, but he drew a tanto... despite his trembling and bleeding fingers.
