Ok, if before wasn't any indicator that something was seriously wrong, now was. Frowning, he looked at her legs to see if they were injured but he saw no visible signs of any sort of damage. Her breathing was now pretty heavy despite the fact that they had been going at a fairly slow pace.
"Maybe I should take you to Cricket's office.." he murmured while trying to carefully scoop her up into his arms. She wasn't too heavy so he figured he could carry her back to the school with little problem.

Suddenly Mitsu felt arms around her and she was being lifted up. The lycan tensed for a moment not used to being carried her arms immediately moving around Shun's shoulders to hold on. "I..I..." She seemed a little flustered, caught off guard by this action but there was one thing that weighed on her mind. If she was sick....because of something Mr. Adolphus did...and the school found out. What would they do?
"I..I just want to go back to my room." She said softly, trying not to shift. Being this close to the reaper felt a little awkward and she couldn't even see his face.

Once he had her in his arms, Shun made sure he had a good hold of her and everything else so that he wouldn't end up dropping anything. Frowning at her, he continued to walk on towards the school. She seemed pretty bad off right now, which actually had him kind of worried.
It was... a little weird to feel this sort of concern. But he was pretty certain that this feeling was concern. He wasn't really sure what else it could be. The want for someone else to be well.
It wasn't something he generally did.
"We're going to mine then," he said quietly, "If you're as bad off as you seem you are, I'm not about to leave alone. And no offense but I'd rather not have Ziggy clawing up my face while I'm trying to keep an eye on you."
His tone went a little more serious.
"However, if you don't start feeling better by tomorrow or whenever, I'm taking you to Cricket."

"Yours?" They were...going back to Shun's dorm? The reaper dorms? "I..I think I'll be fine. Y-you don't have to worry." Even as she said that her head began to lean to the side her grip on his shirt tightening as she felt woozy. He had a point about Ziggy though, if they went back to her dorm the cat would no doubt attack him as soon as they walked through the door. She really had no idea why the acrobat didn't like the reaper. He had helped her out too after all.
But...if there were going back to Shun's dorm Mitsu wasn't sure what she would do. She wanted to lay down but the reaper only had one bed. Maybe he had a futon.
"O..okay," She reluctantly agreed about going to Ms. Cricket's if she wasn't feeling better. Hopefully come tomorrow she would be well again of whatever was ailing her. "S..so where am I going to lay down?" Mitsu finally asked out of curiosity.

Shun shot a glance down to her but it was doubtful she could really see his expression at the time. With the way she was right now, he couldn't not worry. Grimacing, he continued on towards the Reaper dorms, going at a fairly brisk pace now that he didn't have to worry about having Mitsu keep up.
"The bed. Where else?" he said plainly.
There wasn't really anything else he had that'd work for her and he wasn't about to set her on the ground. Not while she was feeling ill. The more comfortable she was, the easier it would be for her to rest and possibly heal up.

"But I don't...want to take...your bed," Mitsu's voice was growing quieter as her head began to lean back. Her mind was so heated right now nothing was really registering. Trying to shift so that her head wouldn't fall back over Shun's arm she ended up leaning it against his shoulder instead. Her body had began to relax in his hold the longer they walked, feeling at least safe for the time being. Despite what Suto said Mitsu knew Shun would never hurt her.

Seeing the dorm up ahead, Shun picked up the pace, not wanting to dally. He could feel Mitsu slowly relaxing in his arms, but he wasn't sure if this was a good or bad thing. One other thing he noticed was that she felt incredibly warm. Seeing how she was no fire affiliated creature, it didn't seem plausible for her to feel this hot normally.
Quickly, he made it up the steps and through the door.
He basically ignored what she said regarding his bed and gently set her down onto it once he got inside. From there, he stepped back and closed the door before returning to the bed side.
Grimacing, he looked her over, staring at her mask in particular. She was going to need to cool off. Having that there would keep him from putting a cool towel on her forehead, so he reached out to see if he could remove the object.

Mitsu was fairly quiet on the way back to Shun's dorm, the grip she had on his shirt loosening like she might be drifting to sleep. Either she was very comfortable or on the verge of passing out. The sound of the door only warranted a small twitch of the ears and shortly after Mitsu felt the arms that had been around her leave her in the comfort of a soft bed. Somehow she missed Shun's hold though, it had been comforting in its own way.
Laying back in the bed, not willing to really move, Mitsu shifted her head toward the door when she heard it close. It was hard to tell what was happening, she couldn't see a thing so it was of no surprise the hand on her mask startled her, her body suddenly tensing. Her hand had started to raise like she had thought about preventing the item's removal, but slowly she lowered her arm back at her side her body relaxing once again as she allowed to reaper to take the mask.
Once the mask was removed it was easy to see that the lupine's face was flushed with fever, her eyes currently closed. Small beads of sweat had gathered across her forehead leaving her in a rather pitiful state. "I..I'm thirsty..." It almost sounded like a whine as she opened her clouded crimson eyes to look at no where in particular.

Pausing when he saw her tense up, Shun waited to see what she was going to do, but then went ahead and lifted the mask off of her face and set it aside onto the night stance. Frowning as he saw the beads of sweat, he went ahead and lightly pressed the back of his hand against her forehead.
It felt like he could cook an egg on it.
Aside from that, he noticed the clouded look in her red eyes shwne she opened them. It was strange that this illness had seemingly blinded her, but he supposed it wasn't impossible. Hopefully that wasn't something that would stay with her.
Grimacing, he got on up to fetch both a glass of water as well as a cool wet rag. Before long, the Reaper returned to where the wolf girl was, placing the towel on her forehead, then carefully propping up her upper body and placing the glass at her lips.
In the back of his mind, he was a little confused with his actions here. It wasn't like him to really care about anyone but here he was, taking care of this girl. Because he was worried. It felt... weird. He didn't know what to make of it.
Then again, she had helped him out some when he was down and out... regardless of his objections. This was a sort of repayment he supposed.

Mitsu went still again feeling Shun's hand on her forehead. Shortly after she heard his retreating footsteps and running water. Oh good, he was getting her a drink. Upon his return she had actually tried to sit up herself but hadn't managed well on her own. Thankfully the reaper took it upon himself to prop her up a little bringing the glass to her lips.
A hand coming up to rest against the glass and Shun's hand Mitsu began to drink from the glass until it was nearly empty. She had been thirsty all right, though it was possible her fever was making her dehydrated. Once done Mitsu pulled her hand away, raising it a bit to rest against the cool cloth on her forehead.
"I-I'm sorry for being so much trouble..." She uttered softly.

Once she had drank her fill, Shun set the glass aside and carefully set the girl down so she could rest.
"Don't worry about it," he said quietly. While she couldn't see it, his expression had softened subtly as he gazed down at her. This was a worrisome situation, but he figured if he made sure she was hydrated and cool, she should be able to recover before too long. If not, there was the nurse.
"If you need anything else, let me know," he said, "It won't be any trouble."
Bent-Tail creeped up the bed, tilting his head at the wolf girl. He could tell that something was wrong, and it made the little mouse sad. Making a few soft, sad squeaks, he went on and sat upon her stomach, curling up into a little ball.

Resting back once again Mitsu's ears picked up the subtle sound of a familiar mini. Even without seeing him, Mitsu could tell it was Bent who had crawled up to sit on her tummy. "H-hey Ben," She tried to smile a bit as a hand reached up to touch the mouse. It was a hesitant touch since she wasn't sure where his head was but at least she knew his general location.
When Shun mentioned needing anything else, the lycan turned her head in his direction, a hand reaching out for his sleeve. Or at least she had tried to grab his sleeve, that had been her intention, instead she grabbed hold of his pant leg. She didn't seem to realize her folly though as she continued to look up in his general direction. "W..will you sit with me?" She just wanted some company. After the trip back home and the long train ride....Mitsu was more than ready for some company even if they didn't speak.

The little mouse lifted his head as Mitsu tentatively brought her hand over by him. Bent-Tail lightly nosed her fingers, nuzzling up against it. This was a good girl. He could tell she was feeling bad. She didn't deserve to feel bad.
For a moment, Shun stared at the wolf girl, a little surprised at her request. He had been expecting something like food or possibly even more water. Maybe to be covered with a blanket. Blinking, he hesitated for the moment, then carefully sat down at the edge of the bed besides her.
"Do you know how you caught this?" he asked quietly while looking her over. She looked horrible.. and that put the strangest sad like feeling into him.
If he had a better idea of what ailed her then perhaps he could find ways to treat this aside from the general things. Then again, he was no medic or doctor, so that wasn't too likely. Even so, he had to wonder.

It was a relief when Shun actually took a seat allowing Mitsu to finally relaxed back into the pillow she was rested on. His question made her hesitate though, her brows furrowing a bit. She had an idea...but she did not voice it. Instead she shook her head lightly. "I...I don't really know." Maybe he would think she had just caught something on the train. It was possible with so many people she could have caught something there.
Slowly Mitsu's hand reached up to rub at her eyes, blinking as if that would help her vision to return. She had handled not being able to see fairly well. But the thought that it might be permanent was starting to weigh on her mind. "I...I always wondered what it was like for my brother....." Her unseeing eyes shifted about as if trying to catch the hint of anything in the room. "Y..you don't think this will be permanent...do you?" There was the slightest hint of fear in her voice as her hands fidgeted with the sheets underneath her.

Relaxing as he sat there, Shun frowned as she didn't know where she had gotten this bug. But then again, being on a train for several hours.. it was possible one of the other riders had been contagious with something. It was the most plausible outcome in his mind.
Even so, he didn't like this all too much.
"Oh right. You said your brother was blind..." he murmured before letting out a sigh at her question.
"I doubt it. As long as we make sure you're rested up and hydrated for now.. you should be fine. If you don't recover at all by tomorrow, I'm sure the nurse can fix whatever is wrong," he said quietly. He wasn't completely certain of this but he was relatively confident.
"Just.. try to relax. Don't want your condition to worsen.."
