Mitsu's eyes fell remembering the sad event. "Y...you did what you thought was best...I don't know what could have been done or if anything could have helped Riley. I...I guess now we'll never know." It pained her to think that her senior was gone. She had just played games with the ghoul the other day, in fact... Mitsu reached into the sash at her waist and withdrew the two bone dragon tokens she had. One had belonged to Hel...the other belonged to Riley.
"As for when we were by the portals..." Mitsu continued softly, running her finger over the tiles. "I don't think anyone was thinking straight." She was hesitated to add as to why but finally did. "At least you were attacking hunters....I attacked Invictus." She really needed to apologize to the horseman. Mitsu only vaguely remembered what had happened but she could still remember well enough to know that she had gone after Invictus thinking he was the cause of the noise and anger.

Shun grimaced at the thought of Riley going like that before quietly saying, "For the record.. should that happen to me and no one knows of a fix, kill me. Before I harm any of you too much."
It was a grim matter, but he felt the need of saying that. Would it happen? How long had the mindflayer been plagued with insanity? Were there others? How infectious was it? All of these things were a bit unsettling to think about.
"So it seemed..."
Quite frankly, he was having trouble remembering if others had been frenzied as well. Come to think of it, he did get pulled away by Invictus at some point, but he wasn't really sure. A part of him still thought that he had just lost control of himself. That he was a hazard to others and whatnot.
"Kuso... the noise is still there.."

And then Shun made the one request Mitsu wasn't sure she could full fill. The ache she felt intensified and the whispers grew louder. She could feel her mind lapsing back as terrible thoughts plagued her. Slowly she began to rock in place, a hand moving toward her head once again.
"I...I don't think. No. No I can't do that." She shook her head. "I..I wouldn't be able to." Maybe it was the high strung emotions she had felt over the last two days or perhaps the continued whispers that she swore were telling her she was going to lose him, but she could already feel tears gathering. Maybe it was too late for the both of them? Maybe this was the first sign? How would she know though? Insanity hadn't seemed like a common ailment but perhaps it was.

Almost immediately, Shun saw that he had said the wrong thing. Again. Freezing as the tears began to gather at her eyes, his expression softened while he pulled her close. He was horrible for her. The reaper was always making her cry. Always making her have these struggles. She really did deserve someone else. Almost anyone else but him. Hell, he couldn't even protect her properly.
"..I'm sorry..." he sighed, "I really am horrible, aren't I?"
That was a very selfish request he had made.

He pulled her close and Mitsu wasted no time in wrapping her arms around the reaper. Her reaper. The whispers only seemed to egg on her fears and she seemed to recall a dream, distant and dark where Shun kept slipping further and further away.
"Please....please don't ask that of me again." Mitsu said softly trying to keep the tears at bay. "I..I can't...I won't be able to do it. I...I can't lose you...I won't.." She shook her head lightly before burying her face in the crook of his neck.

"I won't.. I'm sorry," he said with his eyes closed, wrapping his arms around her to try and comfort her. The voices. They sounded as if they were talking him down even more.Taking in a deep breath, he gently rested the side of his head against hers.
"These voices.. are not helping with my mood.. Maybe some tea and food will help.. Maybe," Shun suggested.
"I.. may need to try meditating. Perhaps that will help with these damn whispers too."

"They don't help," Mitsu agreed. She nodded to food and some tea. Both sounded good at the moment.
"Do you think meditating will help?" She wasn't sure she could concentrate.

Nodding to her, Shun slowly pulled away so he could put on some tea. He didn't really have many supplies to make food so they may have to go out for that. But tea for now would at least be something.
"Is there something in particular you'd like to eat? I realize I don't have much here... being gone for a week," he frowned while getting the water ready in the very least.
"Meditation usually helps me if I am troubled. Though I feel it might be difficult to clear my head when there's so much noise.. even so, it may be worth a shot."

"Anything will do I suppose," Mitsu said softly. She had nothing in mind she just wanted food. "I'm sure we can...find something." Mitsu turned her head again hearing the voices, still not accustomed to hearing them.
"I just...I wasn't very good with meditation before." Mitsu mumbled. "Something tells me I'll be even worse at it now." She watched quietly as Shun prepared the tea, her mind drifting to other thoughts.
"What do you suppose...will happen to Riley?" She didn't like the thought that the boogeyman felt so inclined to take her statue. Her and Riley weren't exactly close but it still lit a fire of anger inside her.

Nodding quietly, Shun waited patiently for the water to heat up. Once it was, he went ahead and poured a couple cups of tea for the two of them. He took them back towards the bed and carefully offered her hers.
"It will take some practice.. Hel struggled with it at the start as well. But once you get it down I believe it will help you," he said. There was an inkling of doubt in the back of his mind, saying that nothing he did will ever help her. Shaking his head at that, he just focused on the question she had asked regarding Riley.
"It's hard to say what those bastards will do. I was never a fan or trusting of the bogeys... though I suppose you could blame that on my upbringing I suppose."

Taking the cup Mitsu brought it close letting the warm scent of tea enter her nose hoping it would start the calming process while the tea cooled enough to drink. It was so much nicer than the incense that had often left her with a headache and a runny nose.
Finally pulling the tea cup again Mitsu held onto it as she let it rest in her lap. "I feel like...we shouldn't leave her with them. She belongs here. I know I wouldn't want to be with the bogeymen if that had happened to me..." She trailed off softly wondering if there was anything she could do. Her thoughts kept trailing back to the fact that she owed Riley two favors. Two favors she could never truly repay now.

A shudder ran down Shun's spine at the thought of his loved one being nothing but a stone cast. It was not an image he wanted to see. It was something he never wanted to witness. Along with.. seeing her as a weapon. He closed his eye for a few moments, as these things seemed to sear into his mind.
"Perhaps there is something we can do about it. Unfortunately, I know more about how to avoid the boogeymen rather than to try and infiltrate them. No doubt trying to retrieve her would be a difficult task to pull off."
It was probably riskier than their 'capture a hunter' plan they had pulled off not too long ago really.

"Do you think it would be probable to just...ask them for her back? I mean what would they want her for? If its some sort of cover up...like Red we can hide her." Mitsu wouldn't be unreasonable but she wasn't certain if she wouldn't get angry if they refused to give her back. In fact the voices were already whispering doubts, confusing her.
Her fingers curling in, her hands balled into tight fists. Would anyone else go with her she wondered. Surely some would. "If they won't just give her back...I suppose we can take her." Mitsu didn't like the idea, especially going against the bogeymen, but she liked the fact that they took Riley far less.

"I definitely do not thing they will simply hand her back if we asked. Most of the boogeys are corrupt nowadays. I'm certain of this," he said lowly. Shun soon raised a brow however as Mitsu actually thought about taking Riley back. It wasn't like her to think like a criminal, so this came as a surprise to him. Was he rubbing off on her more than he realized? Each moment made him feel more and more that he was bad for her.
"We could. But we'd need a good amount of time to prepare for something like that. It won't be easy and getting caught would mean disaster for us... and probably for the school as well."

Mitsu sighed a bit rubbing at her temple. Would it really be so difficult? True she didn't know, she had never considered something like this before. It probably didn't work like it did in the movies but it seemed simple in thought process. Somehow she wasn't worried so much that it would come back on her but the thought that the school would pay did bother her.
"D..do you think they would find out it was us?" The whispers were growing louder now and her ears fell down flat. It was like the doubt was building.
