Hanami grinned slightly when Ageha blushed, but of course when she caught wind of the conversation between Noriaki and The Princess, her smile faded and Noriaki was met with a look of boredom. She had grown bored of the blue-haired girl's charade, and her poetic way of speaking. Well, not really... It was kind of amusing actually, but not in this situation! She wanted Noriaki to step up to the plate, but that didn't seem like it was going to happen anytime soon. Had she really come just to mingle with the ladies? Had she no honor? No shame? [i]Amaterasu, please...[/i] She mentally cried. The auras of her comrades were flickering and had become quite hostile, save for The Princess. Perhaps, it would be better if they let Noriaki go. Hanami had convinced herself that someone like that couldn't be much help anyways, and would probably just get in the way of their more important tasks. So, yes. Maybe they should let their bird fly free.

When Ageha fled from her side, ice blue eyes followed where she went. When this new black haired beauty showed up Hanami could immediately tell something was not right. [i]This[/i] was the woman Noriaki had so called her [i]muse[/i]? Well, she was quite beautiful, but... She had the same feeling she got whenever there is a half-demon around- similar to how she felt upon first meeting Mizuki. She gasped when not only did the black haired girl's aura change, but her eyes as well. Just as fast, the demon scooped the Princess into her arms. Alarmed, but keeping her generally calm demeanor, Hanami quickly drew an arrow and set it into the nocking point before aiming at the demon.

"No, Ageha-san. She isn't." She said as her arrow began to glow very faintly. She was, of course, taken a back when the demon began to...come onto Mizuki, and asked her if she wanted to be [i]carried[/i]. It didn't help that their Princess, in all of her naive glory just acted like her usual self. Hanami pinched her lips together as she felt a smile coming on and lowered her weapon only slightly, just enough to where she could pick up again if things went south. What was more amusing was Noriaki. It seemed the tables had turned on her. Naturally, Hanami couldn't help but feel bad for the Poet. It was quite embarrassing, and clearly Noriaki had been bested at her own game.

"Ah, Noriaki-san. It looks like your muse has moved on." She said sadly to the blue-haired woman with a face to match. "I think she will want to accompany us on our journey, and if you are to travel together - I expect you will want to come too?" Hanami looked up to the sky briefly, and back to the women in front of her. "It seems Amaterasu has made it very clear that we are all to travel the same road together. Do not try to stray from what was so clearly laid out for you from the very beginning." She allowed a smile to show itself on her nude lips as she completely lowered her bow and arrow. This was turning out to be no ordinary day in the village. There was something greater in store for them... Why else would they have crossed paths?
