As Karasuma became a sword, a nasty idea plopped into his mind, perhaps his nastiest yet...

"You're right! I should stop running away from my problems! I feel awful! Those people saved my life! It's time for me to repay my debt."

Diego [s]grasped Karasuma[/s] picked up the blade and ran back to the combat. He glanced through the wood. The fighting had died down. Had they won? A women was aiming a bow at the others. He ignored her at first and noted that Marcy was gone and that Zeke (where had he seen him before? He looked awfully familiar) was laying on the ground. A small bunny thing... alright... definitely familiar... Finally, he tried to figure out why the girl hadn't fired. Now weapons were being aimed at her. It looked like she was a little confused and was demanding to know what was going on.

Hmmm... thought Diego. She seemed pretty enough. He could probably get her to like him for a week! Then she would realize that he was a poor street urchin and avoid him, like the other women. [i]But a women's a women...[/i] thought Diego. He jumped out of the bushes and announced himself. "Hello dear lady. These two women are lying. They attacked this poor man in an attempt to swipe his..." Diego looked at Zeke to see if he had anything expensive on him, "gauntlets! They are very valuable, why perhaps even magical. That one women is the mafia boss, for goodness sake! They even chased a poor little girl away! I got out of the fray of combat when I realized how crazy they were. I suggest you kill them immediately, why, I'll help you if you would like."
