The sudden feeling of someone grabbing her shirt and dragging her backwards was enough to make the young blonde to panic a little, flailing around for a moment as she lost the ability to actually continue down the street. Instinctively, she attempted to scream, but that amounted to nothing as she was dragged backwards out of view of any possible passersby. It took a moment after that for her to immediately pull out a remote and point it at her own head and hitting a button, forcing her mentality to return to a more neutral state. That didn't change the fact that someone had kidnapped her, though—that went double for the fact that it was some creepy old man who, for some reason, reminded her of Kihara Gensei. Well, probably minus the whole 'obsession with level 6' issue, but there weren't many old bald men wandering around Academy City that weren't weird researchers, after all.

With her mind now calm enough to think rationally, Misaki turned the remote on whoever had assaulted her out of nowhere and attempted to click a button to try and force their mind into submission.
...
...
...
Nothing.

She tried again.
Nothing. No response. Mental Out wasn't getting through.

[i]"Oh no. Ooooooh no. This is actually completely terrifying,"[/i] she thought to herself, the color rapidly draining from her face as she fished in her bag for something more mundane. There had to be a can of—.

"Yes!" she cheered as she pulled out what she was looking for—a small can of pepper spray for just such an occasion. Normally, there was no need for her to worry about thugs if she knew where to stay, but sometimes, things could become unfortunately messy. Like now.

Trading in her remote for the pepper spray, Misaki quickly pointed the canister behind her head and sprayed, hoping that whatever creep had just tried to kidnap her would let her go. Otherwise, well...
Honestly, she would rather not contemplate something like that. Probably fot the best.

"G-goddess? You can't be serious, right?" Leo asked, a nervous laugh barely escaping his lips as the childlike figure seemed to flit around like some sort of child idol. The disjoint between what power she was giving off compared to how she was acting was almost like night and day, but that wasn't any reason to freak out right now. So long as there were people around and the self-proclaimed 'goddess' didn't suddenly decide to level an entire city block on a whim, he (and everyone else here) was probably safe.
Probably.

That was, of course, when the girl decided to take note of his eyes. He had realized the inherent risk in showing them, of course, but to think someone would notice them so quickly. Since he had no clear way to figure out the girl's intentions, Leo decided it was best to just be blunt about the issue. Running around it would only cause issues in the near future (though this path had its own share of issues as well). The girl's claim of being a 'goddess', however, made Leo remember the incident that got him these powers in the first place. Maybe, just maybe, she might have a clue he was looking for. Ironic, considering how he was afraid of even acting just a moment earlier.

"Er... You're not wrong. But... If you're a 'goddess', then do you know anything about these eyes? Some thing calling itself a god took away my sister's eyesight and implanted these eyes in my head. I've been searching for a way to restore her sight, but I've had no luck. Please, if you have any clue about this, tell me," he asked, his own guard softened compared to what it was a few moments ago. Of course, the chance to find out the truth outweighed the current risks, even if he was still shaking a little on the inside.

Sonic, of course, was still nonchalantly nibbling on a french fry on Leo's shoulder, apparently having a staring contest of sorts with Suwako's hat.

Tenshi silently stood by the undergrowth as she listened to the guy's very obviously shady words, glancing between both him and the girl he was attempting to tempt before letting out a sigh. That sort of issue was on an entirely different level from an 'incident', especially if it involved actually killing people, but attempting to convince people with the power of greed... As a Celestial who was supposed to have abandoned all worldly desires, this sounded like a load of hubris. Or, well, at least, that's how Iku would have put it. To Tenshi, of course, this just sounded like an incident in the making. Heck, even the whole 'collecting orbs to defeat someone' was similar to the whole occult ball mess she was just musing about!

But that was what made it even more worrisome. If she intervened now, then there was the chance that she would pass up this very crucial chance to gather information; on the other hand, if she jumped in and beat the possible culprit up before trouble began, then couldn't she be considered the heroine here? If worst came to worst and she beat up the wrong person, she could always do what the witch and the miko did and just keep hunting for the real culprit... But it seemed like this guy was the real culprit anyway, so was there really an issue?

"Oh, whatever, let's just beat this shady guy up first and ask questions later! If the first thing you do after trying to attack someone is try to threaten and bribe them, then there's NO way you can be anyone worth following!" the celestial cried out in irritation, breaking her cover and storming in front of the two.

"You! I don't know what you're planning, but as the daughter of the Hinanawi clan and celestial heir, I won't let you do... Whatever it is you're trying to do!" she haughtily declared, pointing at the armored man with the Sword of Hisou as a scarlet mist began to form within the area around the three of them. "Prepare yourself! I won't go easy on you!"
