The name Ariiko Hideniyo did not sound familiar to her, a lot like the rest of the women's names she had never heard until yesterday's meeting. She watched the black-haired girl curiously, wondering what her next move would be since she seemed quite unpredictable, and the demon possessing her seemed to be able to take over whenever she wanted. Maybe, she could...help Ariiko with her demon if it was that big of problem? Would she be interested in being exorcised so that she could live as a normal human girl once again? Hanami would hate to see her turn out like Kurohebi - a lost cause.

"Come, Ageha-san..." She said softly to the green-haired girl as she took her light and dainty hand into her own. "It looks like these two love-birds want to be left alone." She smiled up at her, and noticed the light blush on Ageha's cheek which made her blush as well. Hanami thought it was adorable how visibly nervous the younger girl was. Really, it was refreshing to meet someone that immediately showed their more... vulnerable side? No one had been particularly hard to get along with, but the women so far were so different in comparison to the people she was used to interacting with. Still, she liked them all and wanted to form lasting friendships - even with Noriaki. 

Hanami would lead Ageha back to the main group, hand-in-hand, without saying a word until she approached the others. For some reason, she always looked for Asuka first and saw that the ronin was upset about something. Feeling concerned for her friend, she released Ageha's hand, and walked a little closer to the much taller woman. "Asuka-san...? Is everything okay?" She glanced at Mizuki, pleased to see she was alright and then turned her attention back to Asuka.
