[] Try to talk to her.
-[] Apologize for offending her. Explain "I am sorry, curiosity overcame my manners!"
-[] Ready a Cat's Cradle to secure both the girl and invisible creature should she or it continue hostilities.
For an instant, the girl's eyes widen as she sees you entirely unharmed after her blow, but at the same time she is already going for a second swing.
'She didn't expect me to survive that attack, I can end this right now.'
"I am sorry, my curiosity overcame my manners. I should not have accessed your magic without permission." You say inclining your head slightly. Despite your confidence in your plan it only takes a second to ready Cat's Cradle, based on the power behind that hit sixty strings should be sufficient for the girl and two would be enough for the creature.
The girl brings her to spear to a crashing halt into the floor and looks at you dumbfounded. "Are you seriously going to apologize to me, after I attacked you? You're either a huge badass or a massive moron. Well, what the fuck got you so curious?"
"I had never encountered an individual whose soul was outside their body, such an occurrence could't be natural. I was concerned that... thing, which was sitting on your shoulder, might have been draining it."
She snaps her head to the side look at the top of a nearby claw game, apparently the current location of that thing. "Kyubey, is... what this woman saying true?"
'Yes and no. Part of the Contract to become a Puella Magi is the reformatting of the soul into a more magically conductive and easily protected form, the Soul Gem. But the process does not drain your soul.'
Whatever the creature's response was, the girl shakes as she holds one of her hands against the gem fused with her body. In a flash she lunges to the side grabbing on to seemingly nothing. "What the HELL have you done to me!? You turned me into some kind of zombie!" She shouts hoisting one hand clenched around something up to eye level.
'This is something I have never understood. Why are humans so emotional about where their souls are? As long as your Soul Gem remains unharmed you are effectively invincible. This method has been proven to be the most efficient in allowing you to fight Witches.'
With an inarticulate scream of rage she swings her spear into the open air and drops to the floor with her legs crossed and her head buried in her hands. Cautiously approach her and in the least threatening manner possible sit down next to her. She glares at you with a hard hurt gaze.
"You're still here? What do you want now? You wanna poke at my soul again?" She spits out in rapid succession.
You calmly answer, "No, but I think there might be a way to help you with your soul problem."
"And what you think I'll trust some strange magical woman whose name I don't even know?"
"Luna, my name is Luna."
"What are you too good to have two names?... Kyoko Sakura." She gives after a moment of hesitation.
Ignoring her attempts at being abrasive you continue. "You're a victim of a abomination it is my duty as a Knight of the Moon Kingdom to help those in need, and I am quite the skilled mage with enough time I should be able to find a way to... reunite your soul and body and if that fails there is a power even greater than my own which would help. But-"
"I knew there was going to be a catch..." Kyoko mutters under her breath.
"I want your help in fighting the Dark Kingdom-" Before you can elaborate Kyoko shrugs in acceptance.
"I'm fine with fighting. But you better find a way to fix me." The two of you begin to rise from the floor when something catches Kyoko attention.
"OH COME THE FUCK ON!"
In an instant you are ready for trouble and you cast a questioning glace at Kyoko. "What happened?"
"That sicko just ate his own body and ran away... you can't actually see him... figures, he doesn't show himself to anyone old."
Without any further danger Kyoko drops her transformation and you release your Knight's Garb. As you leave you hear the panicked shouting of the arcade's manager at the destruction of part of the floor and a number of game cabinets.
Despite your protests, Kyoko accompanies you on your search. The search goes slowly, you hear rumors about a sting of break-ins at jewelry stores and suspicious gossip about a sudden free concert given by a famous singer, but It is a few hours before you find any definitive Dark Kingdom activity. A young couple passes the two of you, smiling and laughing, only to suddenly collapse to the ground. Even the most cursory of examinations is enough to determine that what little magic they might have possessed has been drained to nearly the last few sparks. Around you a number of other people similarly collapse, the point of origin appears to be a nearby club.
