Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu felt backed into a corner trying to decide what to do. Her initial thought was to run but that still seemed like a terrible idea. Still she started to look for routes of escape her eyes trained on the alley beside her. Without warning she darted down the alleyway her pursuers not far behind. They found it difficult to follow in the narrow path she was running down but still tried maneuver about. Eventually the lycan weaseled through a gap in the fence that cut off the alley leaving it more trouble than it was worth to follow.

Mitsu stood frozen for a moment watching as the men slowly backed out the other direction and disappeared, realizing now that her heart was beating a mile a minute. Taking a deep breath she tried to calm now even more lost than before...but.... Her eyes grew wide when she recognized the familiar scent. Shun was close, the scent was fairly fresh here!

Doing her best to follow it she began to trail the reaper once again finally spotting him in the distance. "We found him Milo." Mitsu whispered doing a better job this time of keeping hidden.

Mitsu stopped when Shun did, keeping an eye on him up ahead. She really worried that he was going to go inside the building for a moment having no idea how she was going to follow him then. Instead a simple exchange was done and Shun kept walking. Was that it...or was something else going to happen?

When the reaper started to walk off again Mitsu followed pausing for a moment as she came up to the building he had stopped at. It was so rickety and worn down it was a surprise anyone lived here.

It wasn't hard to see the group that had followed Mitsu earlier were simply up to no good. As soon as Shun had cast a glance their way they focused in. When he moved passed they started to follow, devious smiles on their faces as they looked to each other. To them Shun looked like he would be fun to mess with.

In the distance Mitsu followed closely though she noted the group that had followed her earlier. It made her leery and she frowned as they fell into step behind Shun. With a deep breath she patted Milo hoping to keep him safe as well as she followed the thugs hoping to keep Shun from getting hurt.

Without warning the group broke into a run, the three thugs garnishing weapons as their feet brought them closer to their target. They didn't want to give Shun a chance to flee, one of them even resorting to throwing a knife at the reaper's legs. The other two focused on closing the distance ready to jump Shun if they were able to.

Mitsu went wide eyed as soon as the situation went from bad to worse. Her legs pushed her forward before she could even think and decided what to do, her fingers clasping around the skull pin that dangled from her neck. She unclipped it, nearly dropping it in the process, before shoving it in her pocket as she drew closer ready to transform when needed. Hopefully Shun wouldn't be mad that she followed but she couldn't let him get hurt, not if she had the ability to help.

In that moment that Shun had looked up Mitsu knew he had seen her. There was no mistaking it but she couldn't help but notice the look of pain in his eyes as he shifted quickly to the side to avoid an attack.

Worried that he was outnumber Mitsu did the only thing she could think of and that was cause a distraction. "Hey!" Her yell caught the attention of two out of the three. They looked back spotting the little girl from earlier their smiles no less menacing. At least until that little girl stooped toward the ground her form shifting as the change over took her. What once was a petite girl running in their direction was now a large white wolf, teeth bared as she lunged at the closest thug, her head smacking the man away with ease.

This was enough of a distraction that Shun only had one guy to deal with, one who was slightly distracted by the noise going on behind him. Still, he tried to keep his focus on Shun, aiming a brass knuckle clad punch at the reaper's shoulder.

The thug seemed rather pleased with himself having landed a solid blow. He was about to reel back and throw another when Shun's knife caught him across the arm. Hissing in pain the man let out a growl before coming at Shun full force, his arms bulking out as if it enhanced his physical strength.

Just as soon as Mitsu knocked one thug away her focus was on the one still attacking Shun. She still had another attacker to deal with but she paid them no mind as she leaped forward her teeth grabbing hold of the thug's shirt and yanking him back just as he made the first swing at the reaper.

"Hey! Let me..." He trailed off for the first time seeing the large wolf, having not seen a lycan of that size before. "What in the name of Jack.."

"Drop him!" Bellowed the other thug, flipping out a knife from inside his jacket. At first he made a swipe at Mitsu but her dense fur seemed to protect her from the damage of such a light attack so to counter the thug stabbed enjoying the small yelp he received. "That will teach you now -oof!" And Mitsu did let the thug go, throwing him into his comrade with force before circling around to stand in front of Shun.

Her teeth bared she was in protection mode, her head lowered and her ears back as she readied to snap at anything that came near. From a regular dog that was probably scary enough but from a giant lycan it was probably terrifying.

One attacker was either brave or stupid. He made an attempt to strike and regretted it shortly after when Mitsu snapped at his arm her teeth slicing through his jacket and part of his arm with ease. There was a cry of pain as he stumbled back before making a run for it his two comrades not far behind. They had underestimated the weak little girl they had seen. Looks had been quite deceiving.

It took a moment for Mitsu to calm, her breath still coming in heavily as she watched the retreating forms of the thugs as they ran off into the distance and disappeared around a corner. A few moments later and her growls subsided, her form easing from its on guard stance to something a bit more neutral. At least until her head turned to look at Shun, her ears falling back hoping he wasn't mad.

In hopes to prevent an angry lecture Mitsu turned and tried to nuzzle against the reaper's chest the small blue creature clinging around her neck suddenly visible. Apparently Milo hadn't jumped away when she had transformed and instead managed to hang on for all he was worth. A little frazzled at least he was in one piece and unharmed.

Mitsu had known it would be risky to come but had come anyway wanting to keep Shun safe. And she had done it...at least for now. They weren't back at school yet but the current crisis had been averted.

When he thanked her, Mitsu's tail began to wag her head wiggling in his hold until she was able to nose him in the cheek her tongue lashing across it shortly after. A kiss in this form probably wasn't as desirable...in fact it was a bit sloppy but she was giving her affection anyway. Lucky him.

Now that it seemed the danger had passed Mitsu's form began to shrink, shifting back to her smaller student state. Once back to normal she retrieved her skull pin from her pocket and put it back in place on her collar before a hand went to her side to inspect the damage that had been done.
