Hanami smiled when no one called her out on her lie and when Kaede spoke up, revealing herself to be another pet of hers. She was impressed at how well the red-head changed her demeanor, it reminded her of a high-class servant or something. Whatever it was, she was not going to complain because their whole charade seemed to have almost everyone fooled. She would not make it a habit to tell lies, but for now it she was going to do what was necessary. So, she accepted Kaede's praise with a small smile, thankful she was not being scolded like Mizuki. She thought it ended there, but Kaede grabbed her in hand and easily pulled her away. Hamai was confused on why she being taken away but did not protest, only looking back at Asuka for a second. 

When they came to a stop, Hanami grabbed her own hand back with a sigh. Hearing Mizuki say that... Well, it made her feel bad. That just was not true, but all she could do was stare at the ground as Akane and Kaede chimed in. Personally, Kaede had a better answer than Akane, but at least they were being honest with her. "Mizuki-san," She smiled, though the sadness she felt for both Mizuki and Kaede was visible on her features. She did not like that Mizuki was implying she would kill her under different circumstances. Sure, maybe if she went on a rampage in her village, but... no. "No, you are not someone I would kill. Even Kaede-san... Isn't it clear that I'm helping you because I [i]want[/i] to?" She sighed, folding her arms across her chest and parting her lips to say something more. Instead, she held her tongue. It was true they barely knew each other, but Hanami or any other Priestess were not ones to just go out killing half-demons just for simply existing. That would be wrong and barbaric... Is that what Mizuki thought of her? 

All of sudden, she wasn't feeling so hot anymore and dismissed herself from their presence. The others could handle things for awhile, but in the mean time she would see if maybe there was a shrine, or someone that needed a Miko in the village. By the looks of it, there weren't any other Miko which meant she could put herself to work for a bit. [i]Ahh, Mizuki-san, why must you be so difficult?[/i] She sighed, shaking her head.
