Welcome to Gaia! ::

The walk back had been rather long, mostly because both Mitsu and Shun were sore from their session of training. Shun was no doubt beaten and bruised and Mitsu...well she was bleeding every step of the way. It was making her rather sluggish so she suggested a trek to her room instead of making the hike up all those flights of stairs to get to Shun's. The length of the trip wasn't helped any but at least the lycan wouldn't have to climb before she could collapse inside the walls of a room.

Traversing the maze like hallways of the monster dorms Mitsu came to a stop outside her door and produced her key to unlock it. The key turned just fine but when she turned the handle the door seemed to stick. "Ah, I just fixed this door." Frowning Mitsu tried to put a little more pressure on the handle and push but was greeted with a moan from the hinges that refused to budge.

Frown deepening Mitsu turned the handle harder only this time she was granted the sound of splintering wood as she managed to twist the handle free from the door. Without a dead bolt of latch to hold it into place the door swung open easily now with a big hole in it so anyone would peer into her room.

OTL

She still had a long way to go.

Mitsu had nearly forgotten about Ziggy being out. She readied herself for the green streak to come bolting around a corner any moment but it never came. How odd. Looking to the closet Mitsu saw it was closed. So where could Ziggy have gotten to?

"I'm not sure..." Closing the door the best she could Mitsu investigated a little further though soon found why the feline hadn't greeted them. The acrobat was currently busy...being buried under a pup.

It was hard to imagine how it had happened but the fates of karma had decided Tobi was going to be the dog to put Ziggy in her place. The small cycorgi pup was currently laying on top of the green feline, chewing away at her ear rather gleefully. It wasn't like the pup was completely unscathed. From the looks of things he had taken his fair share of hits but apparently that hadn't deterred him and in the end he had won. Ziggy was doing her best to wiggle free, growling at the pup but unable to really do much about it. It was clear she was exhausted.

"Ah, Tobi!" Mitsu hurried over picking up the cat and pup in one scoop. Grateful Ziggy merely flopped across her arm with an exasperated meow. Tobi on the other hand seemed rather pleased with himself, his tongue lolling out of his mouth as his nubby tail began to wag. He was a mighty warrior who had conquered his foe.

Tobi certainly looked pleased with himself giving a happy yip from Mitsu's arms.

"I don't even know how he catches her unless she keeps teasing him." Her hitting a stroke of bad luck seemed like a likely option.

Moving over toward the closet Mitsu cracked the door just enough for Ziggy to slip through. The cat fled inside, grateful to be free of the puppy menace. Quickly after Mitsu shut the door and set Tobi on the floor where he ran off to no doubt find Milo. Now it was time to focus on Shun.

"I'll get the first add kit and some ice if you want to have a seat on the bed or the couch." Mitsu wasn't moving all that quickly herself but she was the one trying to get the first aid experience. It would do her no good to let Shun take charge.

Mitsu smiled though a little wearily. "No its okay, just relax it won't take me long."

The lycan disappeared into the bathroom then and opened up the cabinet below the sink to retrieve her first aid kit and an ice bag. From there is was a short trip to the small freezer in her room to fill the small bag with ice and cap it off.

Closing the freezer door Mitsu rose to her feet and made her way over to the reaper and held it out to him. "For your head." She instructed setting the first aid kit beside him. Honestly she would probably need more tending to but that was fine. Mitsu always felt bad afterwards when making Shun bleed.

"S..sorry," Mitsu seemed to regret the hit. "You told me to hit you in the head...so...I did." Okay he didn't say hit him in the head he said head shots were best against an opponent. But at the time he was her opponent so that meant hit him in the head.

When her own injuries were called into question Mitsu looked down at her arms, hands and the cuts through her shirt along her chest. Only a couple were deep but none of them looked to need stitches. "I..think they will be alright. Nothing some bandages won't take care of."

She wasn't looking forward to it but she cracked open the first aid kit and pulled out the disinfectant and a cotton ball and went to work cleaning up the wounds. The way her eyes scrunched and her lips pulled tight it was easy to tell it stung but she kept quiet as she worked trying to be thorough.

"I posted on the Seeds site the other day. I managed to stumble upon the Haunted House a few times. Did you manage to learn any more about it?" She hadn't wanted to really search for it but she knew it would help and she felt she had a fairly good understanding of how it worked.

"That seems....rather unfair to do," Mitsu said in regards to the groin shot. She was pretty sure she would never use that on the reaper.

"Oh?" That was certainly more than she had learned. Mitsu didn't want to venture too far on her own. Not without someone with her. As soon as she had stumbled upon the Haunted House she had backed away. "Do you think we'll be able to use the Haunted House then?"

"I...I don't know if I can." Mitsu admitted. Maybe if it came down to life or death it was possible she might choose the alternative and pull an underhanded move. But just to throw a move like that out there with no provocation seemed wrong.

Cleaning done Mitsu set the disinfectant and cotton ball aside and grabbed some band-aids. She was pretty sure most of the cuts could be held together this way and she wouldn't have to use a long to bandages.

"A training ground?" The Haunted House hadn't been the greatest of places as far as Mitsu remembered but she supposed it would be an obstacle to overcome to make them all stronger.

"Do you think...everything will go okay?" She was still worried about the out come and the things that could go wrong.

Mitsu continued to frown obviously worried. It was in this state that she started to haphazardly apply band-aids. They would still serve their purpose but they weren't quite where they needed to be and would likely be painful when she tried to remove them later.

"I'm just...worried something will go terribly wrong." She knew it was pointless to ask him to sit out. He had wanted to do this on his own in the beginning and this was certainly a better compromise.

Turning she saw the reaper had removed the ice pack and she picked it up from where he had sat it and gently put it back on his head. "You should keep this in place or that spot will continue to bruise."
