The fog lifted from his mind, but that seemed to be about it. Shun soon realized that he was surrounded in thick white mists. It seemed he had been knocked unconscious one way or another, but he wasn't sure what had happened exactly. As he sat up, he looked himself over. There were no signs of the taint. The voices had muted as well.
Mitsu... What about her? Last he saw she had been consumed by Insanity just as he was.
Grimacing, he quickly got up.
"Mitsu. Can you hear me?" he asked while looking around. Despite having raised his voice, it sounded like it came out flat. Like the sound was being absorbed by his surroundings. Was the fog that dense? Then again, it certainly looked like it. He wasn't even sure if there were any others here. If he was alone... that wasn't really so much of an issue, but he was concerned for his lycan's well being. He knew a few of his friends were in the fog earlier too. What became of them?
Grimacing, he called forth his daggers. He had no way of telling if there were enemies still lurking about.

It was hard to say when she had lost consciousness or how long she had been out. All Mitsu knew was that one moment it was dark and the next she was stirring, eyes opening to thick white fog. She felt somehow numb, eyes blinking as she laid on the ground trying to regain that sense of reality that had been lost.
Slowly she moved pushing herself into a sitting position. Her head hung there like it was an effort to keep it lifted realizing as she stared at her hands that they held color. They were not gray or covered in mist. She was..okay? Had she been cured?
As she continued to think trying to remember the only thing she could recall was the insanity over taking her, the whispers pressing close to her ears steering her thoughts to only focus on one thing. Home. Bringing up a hand she rubbed at her eyes trying to clear her mind. It would do no good to think like that now, it might even spur the insanity to take hold again. She didn't want to be that way, it was such a cold angry and empty feeling. And all she could see were enemies even those close to her.
Her head finally lifted when she heard a voice, not a whisper but something familiar. She turned her head to get a full visual of the area but saw nothing but white. "S-Shun?"

Shun looked around, trying to see something but all he saw was fog all around. Taking a step forward, he heard a light crunch from beneath his feet. He looked down, seeing the remnants of some glass and liquid there. A small vial of sorts? His thoughts didn't linger long on that as he, thankfully, he did hear a reply, and it was of the voice he wanted to hear most. It was faint, but she was still nearby.
"Mitsu, follow my voice. I'll stay put," he said. After all, he didn't know how well her own voice would hold up right now. That and she had better hearing than he did. It would probably be easier for her to track him down than vice versa at this moment.
Still, he kept his daggers at hand. She was here, but it could mean others were around within the vicinity as well. This place was rather eerie. It was silent and it was like there was nothing around. It didn't help that his head was pounding a bit. Possibly from whatever had knocked him out.

The first emotion that had hit Xiu when she her consciousness suddenly returned was complete and utter guilt. Color had finally returned back to the ghoul's limbs, and with it, all the memories of her time as an insanity creature had come flooding back as well. Shouts, screams, the pleading tone in Junko's voice as she repeatedly--and mindlessly--struck out at her friend...
While Xiu was unable to rid herself of these thoughts or of this guilt, as she finally pushed herself up to her feet and glanced around, she was effectively distracted when she was suddenly assaulted by both confusion and worry. Where was she? What had happened? And if she had returned to normal, could the same be said for the others? Shun, Tybalt, Amphi, Yin--they had all turned into insanity creatures by the time Xiu had died. And then...Mitsu. Had she managed to get away safely?
The baku turned to eye the fog with a grimace, honestly feeling quite sick of seeing this same sight over and over again. Although she was cured, it didn't seem as if everything had returned to normal quite yet. Shoulders tensed and fists raised and ready in front of her, Xiu began to take a few, wary steps in a random direction.
After walking for a bit, she was suddenly aware of the fact that she could make out a vague shape in the distance, a dark shadow in the midst of the fog. Tail bristling, she immediately froze in place, eying the figure warily. When it became clear that they were not approaching her--or perhaps their back was simply to her--she took a few more timid steps forward, stopping a good meter or two away.
"Who's there?"

Mitsu waited for a reply feeling a little on edge. When he told her to come find him she shifted to her hands and knees and started to shuffle forward. She followed the direction she remembered hearing the voice, looking down as her hands brushed against something sharp. Thankfully she didn't cut herself but...what was this? Thin fragments of glass and liquid. She couldn't make sense of it and decided to ignore it as she moved on.
When she saw a figure in the fog Mitsu finally stood to her feet and approached. The person was however not who she had been looking for but at least was a welcome sight. Or at least she was until Mitsu remembered the last time she had seen Xiu as she had been consumed by insanity. Was she okay now too? Mitsu looked her over warily afraid to step any closer.

There was silence after he had spoken, though that was somewhat to be expected. Mitsu could talk now but it seemed she couldn't say too much at once. Shun was about to speak again to help guide her along when he heard another voice in the area. It was another familiar one. Xiu was it? That was a relief. The last he saw of her was that she had been converted. It seemed that they had been purged of it.
Hopefully.
"Xiu? Is that you? It's Shun. Come over here. Mitsu should be with me in a moment," he called out, trying to guide both girls to his position.
He turned to try and see where they might be. The reaper saw one shadow close by. Was it his little sister or Mitsu? Or someone else? His eye narrowed for the moment, waiting to see who or what it was before taking further action.

Was that...? Letting out a sigh of relief, Xiu lowered her fists, her tensed body relaxing. "Mitsu. Are you okay?" She slowly held out a reassuring hand in an attempt to beckon the ghoul forward, only to perk up when another voice penetrated the silence.
"Oh--aniki!" Was he back to normal? He must have been, if he was talking to them like this. "Umm, actually, I just ran into Mitsu! We'll try to find you!" It was a task that could have been a difficult one had it not been so quiet. Despite the fact Xiu could hardly see a few feet in front of her, it didn't seem too hard to pinpoint where his voice was coming from.
She looked the other ghoul then, giving a slight tilt of her head in a, shall we? type of gesture.

As Xiu turned to face her Mitsu could see her fists raised then and the hair on the back of her neck visibly stood on end, her eyes widening to a feral degree. She stood still a midst the fog, only easing back on her tension when Xiu relaxed her stance and held a hand out toward her.
There was a short nod in reply to being okay, her eyes scanning Xiu's hand for a moment before she stepped a bit closer and reached out to take it. She huddled close then eyes scanning the fog when Shun spoke out to get their attention. Her wolfish ears tilted this way and that, and turning to Xiu she nodded her head in the direction she thought she heard Shun.

Xiu and Mitsu found one another? That was a relief. It sounded as though they weren't too far off either. Just as he was about to call out again to give them a waypoint of sorts, he saw their two forms emerge from the fog.
"There you are," he breathed out while making his way towards them. He wrapped his arms around Mitsu briefly, then looked them both over.
"Are you two alright..?" he asked. As he stared at them, he felt another pang of remorse. He tried to kill them when he had been taken. And without any sort of discrimination. There was just something chilling about that. It wasn't.. the same as trying to take them down for their own good or anything like that.
He had just wanted them dead.
It also wasn't often he felt regret.

Xiu gave Mitsu's hand a light squeeze when the other ghoul set her hand in hers. She continued to keep herself alert as they made their way through the fog, eyes bright as she examined their surroundings. She was a little unnerved by the fact that there could have been anything lurking out there within the fog, so the baku let out a heavy sigh of relief when Shun finally came into view.
She gently slid her hand out from Mitsu's when they reached the reaper, offering him a smile and a little wave. "Um, as...alright as we can be, I guess?" Xiu glanced over to the lycan questioningly, frowning as she turned back to look at Shun.
"Though I'm not sure what happened? I mean, the last thing I remember, I was...one of...those..."

And then the dragon gobbled up the villagers, enjoying the sweet caress of their screams as they went down her...
Everything was a blur or white and grey, but soon enough, Poke awoke to the waking world once more. She stared up at the roof or what she assumed was the roof as she was still stuck in the jacking fog and it was getting a touch bit ridiculous. She frowned, trying to piece together what had happened to her. She could remember the mantis biting into her skull...
The dragon ghoul got to her feet in a blaze of horror. She remembered. She had been consumed by insanity. She had.....oh sweet mother of jack, what the hell had she done.
There had been very few times she had ever been angry enough to want to destory something or outright go on a rampage, but even then she had always been in control of her emotions. She never went over the deepend that some dragons would have no qualms of doing. Even when fighting, she always had restraint. Always
But this time was oh so different. She had no control over her actions, her mind had been filled with voices, blocking out everything but the desire to go home, and destroy whoever was in her path. And she did. She could remember everyone she had attacked. Some victims she felt less bad then others, and those others...she would never be able to look them in the face. And thats if they even still existed.
Her ancestors would of been proud, but she was far from it.
Poke feel to her knees, holding her head in her hands and trying to block out everything else around her. She couldn't stop the shivers that wracked her body as her mind went over and over what had happened.
"What...the ******** have I done..." She whispered horsely, staring into nothing. She only moved when she heard voices around her. Familiar voices, but she couldn't' place them just yet . Getting to her feet, she stumbled towards them.
"Who's....Who's there?!" She called out. There was no confidence in her voice, and she sounded more frightened then anything else.

Mitsu was rather relieved when her solo tour of this twisted version of the haunted house had ended. Not that she had left, though how she wished she had, she was at least no longer alone. Shun had come into view and as Xiu relaxed her hold Mitsu pulled free to wrap her arms around her reaper and hold him close trying to hide in his warm embrace. Everything was so wrong here the sinking feeling of how she had felt before settling in around her.
What were they going to do now? She pulled back from the hug just enough to look at both Xiu and Shun in turn. Would they be able to get out? Would they end up seeing insanity creatures again. Even worse, would they all fall victim to the fog once again?
She shivered closing her eyes against the images in her head and the regret in her heart. They only opened again when another voice drifted toward them, familiar and yet it made Mitsu worry the voices were returning.

Nodding a little grimly to Xiu, Shun lingered by Mitsu as she practically tried to bury herself into him. He really should not have let her follow him. But then again.. he didn't know the extent of this place's power. There were small areas that led to this now but what if it had expanded since then? She could have ended up in here and he'd have no real way of knowing unless he ran into her by chance.
"I don't really know either. The horsemen seemed to have a cure... but I ended up getting consumed again.. and then now.. it seems we're fine. Somehow.." he murmured.
Pausing, he soon heard another voice. This one was a little less familiar than the two girls by him. Narrowing his eye, he turned towards the source. They sounded nervous but...
"Who goes there? Show yourself," he warned. He could always throw his dagger if needed. Though in this fog he probably wouldn't hit anything.
It wasn't just that, he noticed that there were a few strange lights around.

"A cure?" Xiu echoed, cocking her head to the side, "So you do think they're the ones who uh...fixed us?" The baku honestly didn't know how she had been restored to her former self, but she certainly wasn't complaining. If she could help it, she never wanted to turn into one of those creatures again.
Jumping at the sudden voice, she was quick to throw up her fists again, sticking close to both Mitsu and Shun as her gaze swept the area around them. Which direction had that voice come from? And why did it sound so familia--
"...I'm not sure whether to take those as good signs or bad ones," Xiu suddenly murmured, dropping her arms as she stared at the lights. What...what were those?

She was able to see three figures standing in the distance, one stood apart from the others. It was hard to make out any definite features, but that voice...
"...Shun?" Poke called out tentatively, taking a few more steps. Yes, it defiantly was the reaper. Daggers ready and waiting to slash into her. Not that she cared. It would be fine if he wanted to stab her a few times. She would welcome it. Behind him was Mitsu, and it made her heart ache to see the lycan in such a place. Shouldn't she be back in her dorm? But it was the third ghoul that made her falter, staring at the baku as if she hadn't seen her before.
"Xiu..."
Xiu had been there, when she had attacked those students. She had attacked Xiu herself. The sweet, innocent Xiu who always appeared with a smile. And she had tried to kill her.
How could she...
"Xiu...." The dragoness choked back a sob and letting herself collapse, her hands gripped at the ground, unable to stop shaking. "Oh jack....Xiu....I'm so...." She let her head hung low, not bothering to finish the sentence. How could a apology even suffice?
"Please...hit me. Punch, kick, stab me...do whatever you wish. I wont fight back."
