Mizuki smiled at Asuka's reassuring words but her ears still drooped a little. Despite the kind words, she still felt a bit guilty. Perhaps she should have just made this journey by herself? Her brother and father might be willing to let others die for her, but she wasn't like that. She didn't realize Brother Yakoto would go so far.. To use such dark artes against them. Even controlling peaceful spirits such as this Tree Spirit. Hanzo didn't even kill her, he had only tested them..., examined them. He was probably only watching so he could examine their abilities and weakness's. He also managed to do something to the Princess. Some sort of jutsu on her putting a invisible symbol on her forehead, as well as take some of her blood. 

What purpose? 

Perking her ears softly as Yuki seem to voice her disapproval of the others. [b]"They did their best, Hanzo is no easy opponent.... And he wasn't even trying this time. So I'm glad to have chosen such fine companions."[/b] she said thoughtfully before examining everyone else before frowning. 

[b]"I hope Noriaki will be alright..."[/b] she said in concern, blinking curiously as Hanami went to help Kouko, but seemed to wobble. 

Eyes narrowing in concern, her sensitive nose sniffed before her eyes widened. She smelled off.... Why? Something bad... Her golden gaze widened as she watched The priestess fall into the stream, Asuka quickly jumping in after her.

[b]"Hanami-San, Asuka-San!"[/b] Mizuki called out in concern, and within a second, she sped to their side as Asuka managed to pull them both out.

Quickly, Mizuki started sniffing them in examination. Asuka seemed alright for now, but the source of the smell was coming from a scratch on Hanami. [b]"Posion?"[/b] she questioned softly unsure but she thought she smelled something like this from one of Hanzo's medicines. It might of been from one of the Kunoichi's that attacked.

Unsure what to do, she allowed sheer instinct to guide her. Quickly she put her mouth around the scratch, ginger sucking on the injury. At the taste of human blood, her gold eyes flashed red briefly and her arms sparked with the corrupted energy from before but she ignored it until she pulled away, coughing a bit.

The tree spirit came closer, it's green eyes glowing before it reached its paw out, a wooden bowl forming in it with a glowing green liquid. [b]"Quickly... Have her drink this... It will quell the poisons within her bloodstream... Then she will need rest."[/b] It instructed.

Mizuki sighed in relief, taking the bowl with a grateful smile. [b]"Thank you Tree Spirit-San..."[/b] she said before bringing Hanami on her lap and gently tried to have the human girl drink the liquid.
