Maybe... Maybe she should just let herself do as she wanted. But then... Ageha closed her eyes, her brows once again furrowed. Her thoughts were colliding. On one hand, she wanted to simply be herself but part of her screamed not to. Part of her screamed to stay distant. She could feel her heart tense up as if breaking. She felt an obligation to her brother to live in his stead but she also felt a obligation to herself. To be the woman she wanted to be. But... who exactly did she want to be? Who was Yuki? Ageha's face turned sour as her thoughts swirled. She wanted ever so strongly to give up and just be Yuki but her sense of revenge often won and thus she was still Ageha. The beautiful butterfly. A smile crept onto her lips as she thought of her brother, his dark hair blowing ever so slightly in the spring breeze. He'd hated the name but... Yuki had always liked it. She looked up to her brother even if he always went about trying to find himself in the wrong ways. Though, she had to admit his antics had helped her immensely after his death. She was able to protect herself in most cases. She'd even been able to defend herself against unruly customers in the brothel. Yes... He'd always been there for her, in name. So, yes. She was Ageha, the protecting butterfly. She felt the bag tied to her back. She was also the Ōkami no seishin. But then, how could one be both a butterfly and a wolf? She sighed. There are always two sides to a story. [i]Maybe the two spirits are just two parts of my story...[/i]

She opened her eyes, her back suddenly straighter and her eyes clearer. The little meditation had done her good, she felt anyway. It would still take some getting used to being around Hanami-san but if Ageha continued to meditate on her purpose and drive, maybe she could push through it. She turned to Hanami-san, her eyes clear and emotionless. but before she was able to say anything, the woman grabbed her hand and began walking towards the rest of the group. So much for her questions, and her cool. Her cheeks were once again a rosy red. [i]Stop doing that to me...[/i] She yelled silently in her head. She turned to look at the rest of the group, pausing on the princess. Looks like she'd have to question the princess. 

[b]"Mizuki-dono... What are the plans currently? Are we staying in this village for the day? If so, how long will we be staying?"[/b] She asked, smothering Mizuki-dono with questions. She wasn't even sure if Mizuki-dono even knew. She just wanted to know if she had anytime to buy some clothing while she was here. She'd been around the shops before today and had a few items she wanted to get. Working on something would give her something to do with her hands anyway. [b]"I hope I'm not asking too many questions. I just... I'm curious."[/b] She continued, her face once again still and motionless as she watched the silver haired woman. In the back of her mind, she could still feel the presence of Hanami-san. As if, even though she were a few steps behind/beside Ageha, she could still sense where the black haired woman was. No... She needed to stop. She kept all emotions from her face and watched for a response from the princess.
