Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xiu had an incredibly valid point with that last thing she said. The Baku likely wasn't the only one on campus that knew how to enter dreams. Even then, there were definitely others in the world of Halloween. It could definitely be an important skill to have, especially if he had any secrets that needed to be kept. He had to imagine that dream diving could be a way to extract information. The Reaper supposed that it might even be possible to suggest things to the subconsicous this way.... to plant a seed of thought.

Though, there was a bit of concern for what she said earlier as well.

"You haven't been eating any dreams of Mitsu or I have you?" he asked with narrowed eyes.

"But you do have a good point... this will be good to know.."

While Shun's expression lightened slightly, he still looked relatively unamused. Or at least more unamused than he normally was. It was a relief to know that Xiu had no intention of devouring their good dreams at least, but the fact that his nightmare had come back was not too strange for him. A few of his dreams were reoccurring after all.

For a moment, he looked towards the tea, then to Arashi. It sounded pretty straight forward.

"This isn't really a drug you're giving me, is it?" he asked warily, "But fair enough. It'll do I suppose. I just take the tea and go to sleep or something?"

"Well you'll need to take it too anyway, right?" Shun said before moving towards his bed. He stared at it for the moment, then looked towards Xiu once more.

"Do you need blankets?" he asked. If she was going to be sleeping as well, he figured he may as well try and make her comfortable. A part of him was still a bit wary about all of this. The Reaper was aware that having Xiu around would facilitate the process, but there was no telling what she'd end up witnessing along the way.

Nodding to Xiu, Shun took in a breath and moved over to his bed, sitting down onto it. He didn't really know how this was going to go, but if anything were to go awry, he was sure Arkham would do something about it. The mini was still pretty tense right now.

The Reaper had doubts that the Baku would really do anything to try and harm him, but there was that seed of distrust he had right now which was saying that he couldn't be too sure about that.

"Alright," he murmured while staring at the tea she was pouring out.

Silently, Shun took the cup and downed the tea. It at least didn't taste bad. Before too long, he felt incredibly drowsy and the urge to sleep hit him pretty damn hard. The tea seemed to be exceptionally effective on him. With a low groan, he ended up passing out in a somewhat awkward position.

With him unconscious in the blink of an eye, he quickly entered a REM state and his dream started up.

The room was not the same one that had been the setting the last time Xiu had visited Shun's dream. In fact, it looked more like a dimly lit warehouse than anything else. The Reaper crouched low on some beams above the ground level, staring down at a few individuals below. Narrowing his eyes, he waited and listened.

There were about four men below, discussing some sort of negotiation. One had a briefcase on his person and it seemed that it was likely filled with either goods or money.

Surrounding the men, were a number of crates, labeled different things. They were also of varying sizes and whatnot.

The men below were of varying races as well. It appeared to be two demons, a monster, and a reaper, however. The reaper had his weapon out, which appeared to be your average large scythe. Also, from the sounds of things, the debate below was getting a little heated.

Spotting movement nearby, Shun glanced up, raising his daggers as he did so. Narrowing his eyes, he glared at Xiu, taking on a more combat-like stance while on the beams.

"Tsk. You work for them don't you?" he hissed, "I'm disappointed Xiu, but I won't let you get in my way. I'll take you down with the rest of the damn organization."

Shun didn't relax much there.

"If you're not with them then why are you here?" he hissed as he stared hard at the Baku. She did present a good point though. If he did too much up here, he'd blow his cover. Though, perhaps he should just mobilize anyway. With the girl here, waiting around could be rather risky.

"Whatever you need help with, it'll have to wait. I have work to do," he said lowly before turning his attention to the group below. In an instant he disappeared from his spot on the beam to behind one of the strangers below, stabbing into his backside. This startled the others and the one with the briefcase began to back away.

"s**t! They found us!" he cried out.

He didn't get to move all too far before the Reaper had pushed aside his first victim to come after him next, spilling more blood onto the dusty concrete warehouse floor.

Having taken out the one with the briefcase, Shun turned his attention towards the other two who had decided to stand their ground. The other Reaper stood defensively while the remaining demon started to channel some magic.

"Dammit. Should have known they'd send people after us. But you know, this won't slow us down in the slightest!" the demon barked, "And your Fear will be wiped all over the floor when we're through with you."

Narrowing his eyes, Shun crouched down low before launching himself at the scythe wielder first, deeming him to be the larger threat. The enemy reaper swing his blade in a large arching motion which was easily dodged. Moving down and to the side, he soon shot up with one of his daggers to slash deeply into his target. Just as he did this though, magic shot out, hitting him from behind.

Letting out a cry, he staggered forward before turning around to face the demon. Gritting his teeth, he placed a hand over his abdomen for the moment, crouching down in the process. It was hard to see, but it appeared that drops of red were falling to the ground where he stood, and it wasn't coming from the blades of his weapons.

"Hmp. You've gotten sloppy. Careless," the demon growled as he prepared another spell, "But that's not my problem. We'll soon just have one less pest to worry about."
