Welcome to Gaia! ::

The woman didn't look like she was built for power. She was much more slender but still had a considerable amount of muscle through her arms. Her eyes had been trained on Shun since she assumed he would give her the most trouble and her hunch was right.

His leg sweep came fast and managed to catch her ankles but as she fell she caught the door frame with her free hand and slowed herself down just enough to get a foot under herself again. Without turning she made a swift kick back toward Shun, aiming for his mid section. At the same time she started to twist her body, the gun coming around and firing off a shot. If Shun managed to get hit, however, he would find out that the bullets were not lethal. They were rubber, but that wouldn't keep them from stinging like hell.

The reaper had managed to snag her leg but that didn't slow the werewolf down. With expert aim she fired two shots at close range again, this time at the arm holding her leg. One of those shots was aimed at his elbow and the other was aimed at his wrist. While they wouldn't damage him badly the pain would likely make his arm barely functional.

Mitsu had followed Shun's scent to a random office building in town. She wasn't sure how long they would be here but her first thought was just to wait outside until they exited. That plan went south when she heard the first shot fired.

With wide eyes she flew through the front door and faltered looking for stairs. She climbed them quickly when she found them and once at the top she stared down the long hallway that contained her reaper and a mystery woman with a gun pulled on him firing two more shots.

"Shun!?"

The woman smiled as his arms loosened on her legs and she pulled free just as he summoned his blade. They cut into her pants but just as with the other werewolf the blades only cut across steel mesh and not flesh. Before completely retreating from his side she straightened her form and aimed two swift kicks, one at his hip and one at his side before pulling back her gun aimed at the voice down the hall.

But she froze. Her eyes settled on the girl down the hall and they went wide with disbelief.

Mitsu had started down the hall but Shun had yelled at her to stay back. She would have kept going but she didn't see any blood. Had the woman missed or was there something off about the shots?

She didn't have time to figure it out. Instead she was now in a stare down with the woman, her eyes trained on the gun now pointed at her.

Staring at Mitsu had actually made the woman fairly distracted. It was like she couldn't believe she was seeing the person in front of her but soon remembered she wasn't alone where she was. She turned her head in time to see Shun throwing a blade and shifted slightly. The blade still managed to nick her but the damage was by no means severe.

Placing a hand over the small wound on her neck she brought the gun around, taking it off Mitsu and pointing it at Shun again. "I have more than just rubber bullets, Sweetie." But she didn't have time to pull the trigger. Apparently putting the gun back on Shun was enough to make Mitsu move.

The lycan rushed down the hall and drew back a fist and swung at the woman when she got closer. The older werewolf dodged fairly easily but Mitsu stayed on her trying to get in another shot. For some reason the woman hesitated to use the gun, merely dodging instead of fighting back.

And now there were two, despite her speed it was obvious the woman was having a harder time trying to dodge both attacks. She ducked under Mitsu's swinging arm but still managed to take the hit to the back of the knee. A pained sound left her lips but she drew her gun back to fire yet another rubber bullet in Shun's direction.

Rolling away from the two before she could take another hit she stopped just beside Adam's office door. She only took a half a second to make a decision before she dived through the door and slammed it shut, the click of a lock sounding behind her.

There was a squeal from behind the door, more than likely Adam quickly followed by a crash and the sound of shattering glass.

Mitsu had started toward the office door and used her foot to kick it in. The door bounced off something in the way, which looked like an overturned desk, but the room itself was empty. As Shun said it looked like they had gone out the window.

Not really willing to jump out the window Mitsu rushed for the stairs and headed outside, sniffing the air trying to catch the woman's scent. They were already out of sight but Adam's sudden shrill scream was indication enough of where they had gone. Through the small forest park across the street.

Keeping close to Shun, Mitsu headed into the park after the goblin and older werewolf, spotting them not far off. Despite not being a fighter Adam was a little harder to handle than one would probably give him credit for. Between flailing, kicking, biting, scratching, and screaming he was giving the older werewolf a hard time.

"Be still." The voice that echoed from the trees was gruff and suddenly the other werewolf from before was there as well.

"What's the plan?" Mitsu asked, hesitating when she saw the woman wasn't the only one here.

"Diversion....." Mitsu struggled to think for a moment but finally nodded. "I think so, just grab him quickly and run."

And then she started to change. Her transformation wasn't as fluid as the older werewolf's but she still managed to shift fairly quickly before lunging toward the pair with a vicious snarl. The sudden change had managed to catch the woman off guard and she was knocked over, losing her grip on Adam. As soon as he hit the ground the goblin scrambled to get away, panic evident in his eyes.

Mitsu then turned hoping to pounce and pin the large man but to her surprise he managed to catch her front legs in mid air and hold her at bay. She snapped at his face but a quick twist and turn had the young lycan off balance and falling to her side. Quickly trying to get to her feet she hoped Shun had managed to get Adam and run and was about to do the same when she suddenly found a large black wolf looming over her. Much larger than herself. This...she hadn't expected.

She cowered down, eyes wide as she tried to move away but the large wolf had opened its jaws ready to clap down on her neck.

"STOP!" Surprisingly it was the older woman who had screamed, her voice getting through just as the black wolf had started to snap at the smaller lycan's throat.

Adam didn't have to be told twice. When he suddenly found himself in a different location and was given the word run, he did.

The woman evidently thought she had been too late, her hands coming up to her mouth in shock, but as the black wolf pulled away it was evident he had done more scaring than actual harm. Mitsu lay on her side, eyes wide and staring at the larger wolf in fear.

He was still baring down on her to make sure she didn't get any bright ideas but a blade suddenly grazed against his cheek, trailing a line next to the same scar he already had. Giving a vicious snarl he turned toward Shun, those cold steel eyes looking wild and very unfriendly.

"IVAN!" The woman was desperately trying to get his attention, moving toward Mitsu as she transformed back into her humanish form. The young lycan shied away from the woman though, moving back in Shun's direction. It did indeed look like she had avoided some serious damage, though her neck did bare a few shallow puncture wounds.
