Inuzuka, but not Touga. Obviously not Touga. Hayate blushed brightly, but held his place as the woman leaned closer to scent him. Now that he really looked, she was shorter than Touga, and she was definitely not male. Hayate had never seen her before. His gaze dropped to his boots in dismayed embarrassment for making such a mistake.

"N-no," he answered, softly. "I'm sorry, I thought...I thought you were someone else."

He bit his lip. Then her words penetrated. He glanced back up at her. Her eyes were very very pale blue--for a moment he thought they were white. "Bottom fl--you're in ANBU?"

Stupid question, he thought, and bit his lip again. Today was obviously not a good day. First mistaking this lady for someone she was not, and then asking dumb questions. If she was in ANBU, she was probably an older member, and now he looked like a stupid rookie. Hayate considered beating a hasty retreat to keep from looking more like an idiot. Except, she was Inuzuka. She might know Touga. Hayate had lost track of the man after joining ANBU.
