Mizuki sighed a little as the others mostly ignored her question, despite being honestly curious about it. It only made her want to go exploring on her own. She saw Hanami not too far off playing with children, and the mere sight was both heart warming and heart wrenching. It hurt really... This was the first time she had seen a actual child and they feared her. Yet Hanami easily earned everyone's love like a mother. The thought of a. Mother was loss as well. Honestly, she had never met her own... Or did she? She didn't really remember. All she knew was that her father told her that her mother died of illness. Asuka soon went off to get food, only to run short on coin. The Princess was about to help but Kaede was already leaving her to aid the ronin. Seeing them apparently be busy and enjoying... Whatever everyday life this was... The half demon decided to walking off again. Suddenly there was a large crashed a quiet panicked yell. Her fluffy ears perked up at the sound before dashing off. Of course, her Guardians were probably going to scold her again but she wasn't a child. Despite what they thought... She was just childish in this strange environment because she hadn't been outside before. The event didn't happen too far off in the village, she came by a house by a cliff and on the side were a large pile of boulders. The little girl from before was screaming as she tried with all her might to move the very large pile of rocks. Stopping beside the little girl, the silver haired woman gingerly knelt down to the sobbing girl with concern glowing in her eyes. [b]"What's wrong? What happened?"[/b] she asked softly. [b]"Rocks... Big brother...."[/b] was all the little girl managed to choke out before pointing at the pile. Mizuki blinked briefly before she stood and unconsciously started picking up the boulders with two hands. With the ease of picking up a ball, the half demon lifted one by one before tossing them to the side with little difficulty despite quite many being the size of a Ox. Some a bit carelessly as they were thrown a good distance. Luckily none hitting a house or a person. Paying no attention to the gawking gazes, Mizuki chirped as she found a surprised young farm boy of around her age gazing up at her with some scratches. He didn't look too injured other then many bruises and maybe a busted arm, but Mizuki easily grabbed him under the arms and helped him out of the pile. [b]"Hope your all right. Looks like you were beat up a little bit."[/b] The Princess smiled sweetly, curiously watching the boy gap at her before stuttering with a red colored face. [b]"A-Ah no I'm f-fine! T-Thank you so much! I would of suffocated without you Miss!"[/b] He spoke, his shaggy black hair dirty from lying in the dirt. Mizuki smiled a bit before sniffing the air, catching scent of a familiar smell. Perking up with a hopeful smile she bowed to the boy and girl, waving a little. [b]"Sorry, got to go!"[/b] she spoke before bolting off again. It was pretty close to where the others were, but this time it was too a inn. And there she was. A guardian thought lost or dead in Kyoto, Noriaki. Making a loud cheering sound, Mizuki didn't hold back her excitement as she charged full speed and tackle hugged the poet. [b]"Noriaki!! You're alright!!"[/b] she cheered.
