[b]"As for what for, I don't know but she's been looking at you a lot."[/b]

Hanami frowned at Mizuki's words and at how flabbergasted Asuka appeared. What was the Princess trying to imply? Whatever it was made the little Miko get butterflies in her stomach, and blush deeply. She could barely look at anyone right now, and the more she tried to look at Asuka the hotter her face got. She swiftly turned and went to follow after Mizuki, her lips nearly turning white from how hard she had been pinching them together. She had no idea why she felt so embarrassed all of sudden. Maybe it was how she noticed Asuka looking at her after what Mizuki said, there was so much intensity behind the Ronin's blue eyes. She really didn't want to look into those eyes again, not the same ones that possibly longed for Noriaki. 

Once inside of the restaurant that Mizuki hand picked, Hanami took a seat at the end of the table. They were greeted by a handsome man full of Genki, who she assumed to be the owner or possibly the son of the owners. Hanami smiled politely, and in the same manner requested they bring out their finest dishes and rice wine for her friends. To show that she was serious, she paid the man in advance, enough for him to open his eyes in shock before he hurried off to fill their order. She didn't know why she even ordered sake, but she figured [i]someone[/i] would drink it. She might even have her first drink tonight, there was no rule that said Miko could not have any alcohol. In fact, she could recall several times she saw Chihomi enjoying a cup of sake. It was quite common for sake to be used in rituals at the shrine and on special occasions.
