Hanahi was completely lost, she had a decent amount of time before she had to get to work, but the longer she wondered around the more turned around she became. She was desperately searching for someone who could help her, but most of the people here looked like they would buy and sell her with out even noticing, and the rest looked more like security guards rather than shoppers. She felt naked in the crowd, everyone here was so well dressed and she was just in her highschool uniform, it was like they were a completely different species.

Something caught her eye about a woman, she could barely see her head through the crowd, but she was familiar to her. When she was getting close to her, before she could call out to her, something hit her leg, another person's leg, they had tripped her. With that she went down like a bag of bricks and hid the ground with a thud, utterly lost and alone. Only after she had breathed in a painful breath did she realize that she had grabbed onto someone's leg, she had no idea who's.

Ah the busy buzz of the inner city; an afternoon of shopping. Always an enjoyment after a long tedious day of classes. She was heading to one of her favorite stores but paused at the cross walk waiting for the light to turn. One hand already held a few bags from high end stores, while the other was shoved into the pocket of her long hunter green parka. Brown fur lined the hood and a thick brown scarf was wrapped ever so carefully around her neck. A pair of dark brown earmuffs keeping her ears warm, her makeup was done perfectly in light warm tones. The corners of her lips were upturned ever so slightly, giving her a general pleasant disposition.

Her hazel eyes flicked up as the little white walk man blinked across the street, she was about to stride along with the herd of people crossing the street when suddenly she felt her foot be held in place. She looked down to notice a hand was holding on to her black ankle high, suede Prada boots. Her happy disposition fell; as she looked towards the owner of the hand. A girl from her school….She crouched down and extended a well-manicured hand.

”Can I help you?”

She studied the girl, there really wasn’t anything special about her….not the sort to seem like they would be shopping in this area. Probably half the stores were out of her league…perhaps she worked in one of them…but then again with that appearance it was unlikely. However her happy position appeared back on her face as she waited for the girl to respond.

She felt someone take her hand, she looked up and saw the gentle face of the woman from before, and now she was certain, she was someone that went to school with her, though she'd be damned if she could remember her name. There's been too many one time greetings for her to keep track of them all.

Hanahi started to pick herself up. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to disturb you, but I'm.., you know." She motioned with her head instead of admitting to the other woman that she was lost. As she looked at her it was plain to Hanahi that she and this girl were on completely different levels, hell she could have been walking to an apartment here that dwarfed the entire orphanage she had lived in.

“Mitsuki!” yells a female voice from among the crowd. Quickly, a bouncy girl with blue pigtails races over. She wears denim shorts paired with neon green tights. Her shirt is long-sleeved with black and white stripes the lie off the shoulder. Her shoes are black high heeled ankle boots. Her green coat looks like it would button across her chest, but she leaves it hanging open. She is fashionable, but in a different way than Mitsuki. If Mitsuki was modern fashion, Kaori was the alternative fashion scene. “There is the cutest boutique over there. It’s getting swamped because it has one of the first few places getting the Fall collection, and…” Kaori stops mid-sentence as she notices the new girl.

She looks over the girl. Juuban student like herself as far as she could tell from the outfit. “Someone you know? I suppose introductions are order then. Kaori Kagome.”

Mitsuki raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow, this girl meant to sprawl out on the ground and grab her ankle in an attempt to get her attention? Or was she just simply getting to the point and using her unfortunate circumstances as an ice breaker? She straightened up as the girl stood up, Mitsuki turned her head when she heard her name called. A smile appearing on her face as one of her nearest and dearest approached.

”Kaori!”

She looked the girl up and down…her fashion choices were most definitely….loud for the eyes. But that aside she did an admirable job prowling the shopping scene. She found the best deals and who had what quickly and efficiently. For that she was more than useful to have at her side in any shopping adventure. She also quickly noticed that they had a new tag along today.

”Actually…I’m ashamed to say I don’t have this persons name at this particular instance…I do not thing we have ever been acquainted; they obviously go to our school…but I do not believe she’s in any of our specialty programs.”

She turned back to the girl who was indicated that she was lost; confirming her suspicions this just wasn’t this girl’s scene.

”May I ask where your destination is? You’re a far cry from the school…But as my dear friend Kaori says introductions are in order. My name is Mitsuki Chiba, and your’s?”

Hanahi looked at the new girl who had shown up, she was extremely loud; both visually and verbally. She wanted to gock at her, but managed to keep her mouth from hanging open and looked back to the first who was now introducing herself. "Oh! I'm Hanahi Anto." She said giving the two a deep bow. "I'm sorry, it's just, uh, you see I'm still new to town, and well, you know, I was trying to get to Chiyodaku, but now I'm in, what is this, Shibuya or something, and then I umm..." she stopped feeling herself getting ever more flustered as she spoke. She wanted just to crawl into a hole and die for how stupid she'd been getting lost like this with all of a dead cellphone to in someway help guide her. Fat load of good it had done her.

Kaori nods as Mitsuki says she didn’t know her and the girl wasn’t in their program. “But she’s got a green bow, so she must belong to a program.”

“Shibuya. You would be closer to Chiyoda if you were in Shinjuku,” Kaori says, watching as the Hanahi bows. It was an unnecessary formality in her mind. “Good thing you got lost in a good part of Tokyo,” she says, waving over the area. “Like if you ended up in Kabukicho or Roppongi…” she shivers as she mentions those names. “I think if you take the Hanzomon Line, you can get to Chiyoda without issue. It’s like the next stop.”

Mitsuki just raised a brow when Kaori corrected her as if she hadn’t noticed the arm band. The arm bands were a mark of prestige, really it wouldn’t be un heard of for someone wearing one for attention. That and it was green; the girl obviously tripped and fell…Green was for those whom had physical talent, for sports and such….walking shouldn’t be much of a difficulty for them. As brilliant as Kaori could be she was slow on the uptake at times. Mitsuki eventually turned back to the girl who introduced herself as Hanahi. As soon as she mentioned that she was new Mitsuki’s face perked up.

”Well then before you fallow Kaori’s simply wonderful directions I insist Hana- chan you must come with us shopping. You’re in the district for it and really running around the city in your school uniform is so drab. We must fix this gracious error immediately; perhaps even find you some new walking shoes”

Mitsuki turned to Kaori.

”Shall we bring her along on our excursion this afternoon? If she’s new as her Sempai we really ought to show her around. She would look lovely in pale yellows and blues don’t you think?”

She looked over at Hanahi waiting for an answer.

Hanahi couldn't help but feel like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming mac truck. "Um, okay." She wasn't sure why she agreed to join them, she glanced down at her shoes and Mitsuki was right, they were in sore need of replacement. "Are you sure this is really all right? I don't want to intrude on the two of you more than I already have." She felt bad about ruining any plans the two of them may have already had.

She wasn't sure how she felt about being dressed up in blues, she had just never cared for them. though perhaps some nice yellows wouldn't be so bad. She glanced from one girl to the other, not sure where they would even go.

Kaori grabs Hanahi’s arm as soon as Mitsuki invites her along. “Sure. Blues and yellows would look nice with you. Ok. We need to hurry though. The place we were headed is going to be sold out really quick. How do you feel about dark colors? There was the cute blue empire waist dress that might be up your alley. You have the body type to rock it for sure.”

Her pace quickens back to the site she was originally scouting at. There is a small store that in uncomfortable cramped with people. A sign on the exterior announces that the Fall collection has just arrived. “Ta da! I know they have some shoes in the back too. A lot of heels, but they probably have some flats too.”

It's a surprise when Hanahi feel Kaori grab her arm. When she hears the word empire she does her best to repeat it to Kaori "Em-empire?" That sounded like something that could destroy her budget for the next month if not the next year. "Um, dark colours?" She thought for a moment. "I guess I'm not opposed to them?" She wasn't sure to say to that question since she had never really had a choice.

When they arrive at the store Hanahi can see the though the tinted glass windows what she can only assume is a writhing mass of humanity behind it. "Al-alright, lets go in." She gives a nervous smile to the other two. Feeling far out of her depth.
