"I spent a few days fighting until I finally managed to find Candace. I was too weak to face her though. Far too weak.." Shun murmured quietly. His biggest injury was pretty much because of that hunter.
"Unless you're referring to the scars. Training and old fights mostly."
Watching her, he soon realized that she was going to the wrong closet.
"Wait. That isn't where your clothes are," he warned. The last thing he wanted was Ziggy running in and giving him an even harder time than he already was having.

"You fought while you were injured?" The news seemed to bother her, Mitsu's eyes trailing over his bandaged torso as if following the slash marks across his abdomen. "You should really be more careful.."
Her hand had already started to turn the handle when he called for her to stop. Quickly she released it and made sure the door stayed closed. "S-sorry."
She had no idea what she about unleashed upon the room and took a moment to look around before spotting another closet nearby. Moving toward it slowly she looked to Shun for a moment to confirm this was the right one before she opened it up to reveal a wardrobe of mostly white and gray.
Shun couldn't see her face from where he was but she looked at the lack of color with a 'really?' face. "Are all my clothes like this?" She asked quietly picking a dress at random and holding it out to look at. It was short and had that tattered look to it.

"I didn't think I had time. You had been taken.. I was worried that... the next time I saw you, you'd be in the hands of a hunter.." he said quietly. Shun, at that time, didn't think he could afford being careful. He was desperate.
Resting his arms over his knees, he let out a breath while staring towards the ground.
"More or less. I'm not sure what it was, but you didn't really enjoy wearing too much color.." he said after peeking in her direction. His gaze soon shifted back towards the ground, "If... you'd like I can move into the bathroom while you change.."
He didn't know how comfortable she would be doing that around him now that he was practically a stranger to her.

Her eyes sadly regarded the dress, her fingers trailing over the soft fabric. "I'm not sure what they had planned for me." One hand released the dress to touch the collar around her neck. The runes still glowing brightly.
She didn't say anything else about the lack of color in the closet, her eyes looking to the bathroom not far off. "No I'll go to the bathroom and change. It shouldn't take...too long."
Mitsu took a step and swayed a bit, a hand resting against the closet door for support. As she continued her steps seemed slow and deliberate before she disappeared into the bathroom. The door shut softly and from that point there was silence. Time seemed to tick by and after a long while Shun would hear the water in the sink running and turn off before Mitsu emerged again with her own dress on and the blue dress draped over her arm.

"My guess would be weaponization," Shun said quietly. Candace did kind of confirm that and all. Shaking his head at the thought, he looked up towards her and nodded as she retreated into the bathroom.
Despite what she said, it felt like she was in there for quite some time. The sound of the running sink from within the washroom.
"Is.. everything alright?" he asked while looking her over. He wasn't sure why she'd need the water.

"Y..yes..." Mitsu nodded, setting the blue dress on the couch for now. "I had a little bit of trouble with the blue dress. There was a zipper." She moved her arms to show him that they didn't want to bend in a way that would have enabled her to manage it with ease. "And I wanted to wash my face in hopes it would wake me up.." It didn't look like it had.
Gently she eased herself onto the couch, her legs giving up at the last second making her plop down. At least it was plush and soft, her body relaxing into it gratefully. "I want to hear more. If you don't mind?" She decided to elaborate as she looked about the room. "About this school and my friends and you."

"I.. could have helped.."
Again, it was probably a matter of comfort level there. Shun let out a breath and nodded to her. When she went over to the couch, he walked over as well to set himself down next to her.
"This school is.. known to be one of the best.. if not a little unorthodox. Things around here do tend to be dangerous.. seeing how we have to deal with hunters and all. Those are the ones who held you captive.. humans who use weapons that use to be what we are," he whispered while staring towards the floor, "Coming here has likely changed lives of many, including ours. Like I told you... I had never had friends or experienced any sort of love prior. You were shy.. but as time went on you made more friends."
Taking in a deep breath, he continued to explain as much as he could. He brought up Lizzy, Mac, Mot, Xiu, and Hel. He also went ahead and begrudgingly mentioned Riyo. From there, he spoke of some big events that had happened. Red. Christmastival. Prom. The Seeds mission.

"I...finally managed." Mitsu tried to smile though a tad awkwardly. She went silent as Shun explain about the school and her friends, the dangers they had faced and the more enjoyable times they had. Though he didn't deem them as fun Mitsu was able to gather that much from the tale.
"So I was...shy?" She tilted her head thoughtfully as if trying to remember. "You seem like you've had a hard life. I'm guessing you're time at home wasn't the greatest" Speaking of home, Shun had mentioned friends and classmates, teachers and everything else but never once mentioned her family.
"Is my family worried about me? Should I call them?"

"No. It wasn't. Like I said, my family is a criminal one. Bloodwise there is only my father, but he has many associates. A sort of Yakuza. Things like friends or love were deemed useless. Frivolous. Things that can only be taken advantage of. A weakness," Shun muttered with a bit of a frown. He soon paused though, at the next question she had to ask.
"Unfortunately... you don't really have a family either. Your parents died when you were at an early age...and your brother has been missing for quite some time. Your guardian is by the name of Suto... who.. from what I've gathered based on what you've told me before.. doesn't really care about you all that much."
It felt.. a little wrong to say that to her. But it was the truth.
"The people you know at this school are your family... Just as it's sort of become mine."

She frowned piecing the puzzle together. It seemed rather complicated and intricate. His father didn't approve of friends and love and yet he had friends and he had her. Wouldn't his father disapprove? "Won't you get in trouble if your father finds out?"
Her eyes down cast as he mentioned her parents were dead and her brother was missing. So all she had was a guardian by the name of Suto? So that meant this place was probably truly her home. There was no where beyond these walls to go to. "Do you think...the people here will want to stick by me? What if they are mad or upset that I don't remember?"

"Most likely," Shun said in a rather matter of fact tone. He would deal with that when the time came. Now he had other things to worry about really.
"I can't speak for them.. But though they may feel pain about it.. I doubt they will simply leave you because of it. I... I am still here too.. am I not?"
He took a few moments to think it over.
"We're a bit of a ragtag group, but.. we look out for one another. A sort of family of of our own."
Nakama... he thought internally. This is what it meant didn't it?

Mitsu smiled softly. "You are still here." Reaching out she took his hand. "And I appreciate it more than you know."
Her smile broadened a little hearing about their family of sorts, eyes focusing on their joined hands. She stared at them for a long moment before she looked back up to Shun and moved in a little closer to lean against him, resting her head against his shoulder. "I'm glad I have you here, Shun. I would be lost without you."

As she took his hand, he squeezed it gently before turning his head so he could look to her. There was a sort of warm feeling he felt within as she scooted closer to lean against him. It almost felt like how it would be should things be normal. It wasn't quite the same, but he relished it nonetheless. This would be much harder for him if she didn't want to be anywhere near his person.
"You would have done the same for me.. should our positions be swapped.." he whispered, "And I care too much for you to simply leave."
She might not be the same right now... but that didn't change the fact that he loved her. He refused to give up on her.

"Something tells me you wouldn't have gotten yourself in this position," Mitsu said softly, picking at the hem of her dress to carefully lay it out across her legs.
She smiled when he said he wouldn't leave, nodding slightly in thanks. He had said it before but it seemed to be reassuring each time she heard it. "I just hope I can at least...figure things out in the meantime. Do I have classes? Classes are going on....right? I hope I don't have homework."

"Perhaps. But maybe not," Shun said quietly. He could come up with a few different ways how he might be captured himself, "I am not infallible. In the grand scheme of things I'm fairly weak."
The Reaper leaned lightly against her in turn. It was strange in a way. As reserved as he was, he had trouble not showing bits of affection towards the lycan when he was with her. Especially when they were together alone.
"Classes happen sporadically. There isn't really a set schedule. I believe there's a couple coming up. I can look into them and see if you would be interested. While you do need rest and to recover.. I believe it would be good for you to be out and about. Albeit in safe situations," he said.
As long as she was physically able, being outside might help with her memory. He hoped.
