The small figure swiftly ran towards the demons and slashed once as she stopped in front of Midori, she bowed to her and the sword turned into a blue rose in full bloom as she took Midori's hand and made her grasp onto it as she jumped back into the shadows making a simple bow before disappearing.

"Eh?" Midori looked stunned at what had just happened. The slashing attack from the fake princess had reflected back on her because of Rangda's special properties, but it had only take that one attack. Had she won?
"Did I win? But how?" Midori asked. Then she gave a slight smile. Of course. The power of love.

Zero glanced down at Midori's hand. The rose that had been thrust there was cutting into her skin. She was bleeding and was so... caught up in her delusion that she hadn't even noticed it. Well, with Bashton gone he could get back to the plot. He frowned as he looked at the shirt and jacket in his hand. At least he didn't have to pay for these. He ripped a strip off the jacket and reached for her hand, planning on wrapping it around as a bandage. Being white, it would show the blood quite well.
"You're hurt," he said, sounding quite concerned about the situation despite it all being a facade.

Midori gasped and dropped the rose, which had left several gashes in her hand. She looked at the strip of jacket, and blushed once again. "No, it's alright, really. You don't have to do that, I'll be fine... Zero-sama." She whispered that last part, as if she couldn't believe what was happening right now. ((I'm having her use honorifics now to make this seem even more like a cliche Magical Girl scene.  )) |

(OOC: I never thought my knowledge of the genre would come in handy quite this way. XD)
Zero shook his head, "You don't need to be tough for me," he smiled, seeming sincere, "Please, do it as a favor?" he pushed the strip closer to her, trying to seem insistent.
He needed to ask her name soon, but he wasn't looking forward to coming up with a cutesy nickname. The "-sama" might have amused him if it had been used properly and not a magical girl "head over heels" sense.

"Well... okay, Zero-sama," Midori said, holding out her hand to Zero.
Currently, her two demons were just waiting around, and keeping an eye on Zero, just in case he tried to pull any funny business. Midori hadn't gotten them until very recently, so they hadn't exactly subscribed to her magical girl philosphy like, say, Black Frost.

"Thank you," his smile would have seemed warm to anyone who didn't know how multiple faced he could be. To those, it would just be suspicous.
Zero looked out of the alley, "I'm afraid I must take my leave. But rest assured, I will always watch over you."
He turned to head out of the alley. If he could get to the side before she saw him, he could appear to vanish by going into the island's network, adding to the mystique he was sure she thought he had. Besides, the way the demons were staring at him was a little concerning. They were far more likely to figure out the "game" than she seemed capable of.
He hadn't been lying about keeping an eye on her either. It wasn't his fault he didn't know Mandark's system had been royally screwed over by a certain leechsleeve bearing alien. It wouldn't harm him to be in there, but it would effect his ability to keep surveillance...

"Wait, please!" Midori ran out of the alley after Zero, but it was too late. The mysterious bishonen had disappeared already. Midori couldn't help but find herself blushing at his last words to her. "Oh, wow..."
"Good riddance, I say," Rangda commented. Midori rounded on the demon witch.
"What are you talking about?! We've dropped into my own anime show! He's obviously my mysterious-protector-slash-future-love-interest!" Midori said.
"There was something wrong with that boy," Rangda said.
"Well, he's probably gonna end up brainwashed and crazy later on, but we can fix that with the POWER OF LOVE AND JUSTICE!" Midori said. Rangda rolled her eyes. Midori just returned the two demons to the COMP. "Well, I guess I should go find somewhere to stay tonight. Maybe there's a hotel..."
