At first Mitsu only lightly struggled as Shun placed an arm around her and herded her toward the slide. Closer to the edge though and the reaper would find that it was going to take nothing less that brute strength to position the lycan in place at the top of the slide. Legs rigid with fear Mitsu tried to pull back but was forced to sit down first on the long windy loopy ride. Her breathing was rather erratic as she clawed for some sort of purchase on the slide to keep from going down the steep slope. " I..I don't think I want to...I...I could just go back the other way right? There's no need to-" Shun had effectively blocked her path of escape by sitting behind her and before Mitsu knew what was happening her level surface suddenly became vertical. The scream she so desperately wanted to make was immediately caught in her throat as they cascaded downward. By the time they hit the first loop she had gathered some of her barrings and maneuvered in a speedy fashion to cling to the reaper like a barnacle on a rock.  Claws found purchase on his jacket while an arm wound around his neck and her legs tightly wrapped around his waist. Once she was in place that's when the screaming started. All that could be said was that she certainly had a pair of lungs when she needed them.

Once he managed to get her down onto the slide, he placed an arm around her to try and keep her from flailing about too much. Rather than answer her verbally, he just pushed off and went on down with her, wanting to get moving before she could start struggling away.
And by Jack Mitsu could scream loud if she wanted to. At least she was clinging onto him.. though it was a little uncomfortable with how tight her grip was.
Twitching from the screams as they made their way down, the Reaper didn't even notice what lied ahead for them. Not until they hit the water. It was a surprise to say the least. So much that he ended up choking on the water right off the bat. Eyes widening, he also quickly realized that he wasn't reaching a bottom and he was still sinking with Mitsu. Though, he didn't have a chance to think about anything too much due to the water filling up his lungs. His vision soon grew dark as his movements ceased.

Turn after windy turn it didn't seem like there was an end to Mitsu's scream of bloody murder. One would have thought Shun was trying to kill her on the way down. Her grip only tightened with every passing second they were on the slide, her strength having obviously come a long way since before school.
The sudden end to be followed by a splash caught Mitsu by surprise as well, though the lycan was at least able to get somewhat of a breath. Her grip hadn't loosened on the reaper though and as they sank her panic about falling was quickly replaced by something else. Shun was going to drown!
Unwinding her legs from around his waist Mitsu clung to Shun's shoulders as she started to kick against the water to bring them both top side. She gasped for air as soon as she hit the surface and did her best to pull Shun up above the water line. It was awkward though, while she was a strong swimmer he was bigger than her.
"Shun?!" The panic still touched her voice as she called out to him to see if he was okay. Hopefully he hadn't swallowed too much water. CPR in this situation would be extremely difficult.

"Awww don't say that, Riyo!" Mot laughed, "I bet you'd really enjoy yourself if you tried. We're way more fun than drowning."
As if Fate was watching, that was the moment Mitsu and Shun came crashing down. Mot's head whipped around, Mitsu's screaming catching his attention before the splash. The ghoul sounded terrified.
His concern was only further prodded as Mitsu resurfaced with a nearly lifeless looking Shun. What had happened?
Mot left Hel and Riyo (and hat) and swam over to the pair. Had Shun hit his head? Drowned? "What happened?" Mot asked, taking Shun from Mitsu's arms, careful to keep the downed reaper's head above water. She was so small framed, and seemed to be having a hard time holding him up. Shun was much easier to hold up of than Bul, being that he was build smaller than the half beast.

Shun wasn't breathing. And thus he didn't respond when Mitsu called out to him. The Reaper continued to hang limply as Mot took him, holding him up. Earlier his body kept trying to instinctively breathe in while he was choking on the water. He was completely out.

A new fear settled in to clenched at Mitsu's heart when Shun didn't answer. He wasn't moving he wasn't even breathing. "Shun!? Shun!" Her panicking was making it difficult to do much more than hold the reaper above water. It was a much needed relief when Mot came over to aid her by taking Shun into his arms.
"Shun can't swim." Mitsu tried to explain in a hurry, doing her best to swallow back her fear and panic. It wasn't going to help her save him. "He must have inhaled some water."
Mitsu moved around so that she was in front of Shun quickly examining his face. He was out cold. He would have a couple of minutes but Mitsu would have to work quickly.
"Can you hold him?" Mitsu asked. She didn't wait for a reply though as she pulled herself closer to Shun placing her mouth over his trying to force air into his lungs. The positioning was awkward though and didn't seem to be very affective.

Hel was content to hassle Mot some more in their game of keep away, and was also content to splash some water over at the fun sucking Riyo, until Mitsu’s screams broke the somewhat cheerful atmosphere. The Valkyrie paused, staring up with concern as the lycan and the grim reaper finally appeared and landed in the pool as well. Wow, Mitsu reallydidn’t like those slides, did she? Oh well…at least they were at the bottom now, and all together…except Shun and Mitsu were taking a long time to surface…and when they finally did, the lycan was now concerned for the grim reaper, who appeared to be unconscious. Oh dear Jack…Shun couldn’t swim? Hel grimaced. She thought they all could swim! Especially Shun! She didn’t think a heads up would have actually been useful… Oh well, there was no time to think about it. Hel released Mot as he made his way over to help support Shun, and watched as Mitsu trying to bring Shun back around. She couldn’t help them in this situation, as then she’d be overcrowding, so she started to swim around the pool, looking for a ledge, surface, and even a door of some sort for them to get on or through.

"Cut it out!" Riyo shouted and sneered at the two as water was splashed on her already wet face, causing her to turn around... Until a tidal wave of a splash and some screams made her turn around angrily...
Wait...
Had that been Mitsu and Shun?
Remaining silent for a few moments, Riyo finally asked "... Where are they?"
Upon resurfacing, the feline had a snarky comment in the back of her mind for the two, but... When she noticed Shun wasn't moving...
"s**t." No time to shoot off her mouth. They had to find solid ground. Without so much as a cue, she paddled behind Hel in hopes of finding something they could stand on.

Mot complied with Mitsu's request, holding Shun's limp figure up as best he could considering their surroundings.
While the first round of CPR didn't work, Mot hoped for the best.
It was certainly a tense situation.

At some point during the underwater adventure Mitsu had lost her mask but that thought hadn't even crossed her mind yet. No, she was far too focused on the unconscious reaper Mot was doing his best to keep above the water line. Pulling back after her first round of CPR Mitsu waited only a second, checking to see if she would get a response. There was nothing.
If her face hadn't been wet already the tears welling up in her eyes would have been more apparent. She was scared, scared she would lose him. "Shun, stay with me." She whispered shortly before she tried again to force air into the reaper's lungs. Mitsu wasn't sure how long she could keep this up but she would do it as long as she had to if it meant not losing him.

The first attempt had warranted no reaction from the Reaper. If it weren't for the fact that his heart still drummed in his chest, he probably could have been mistaken as a dead man. That and he hadn't disappeared at all.
As Mitsu attempted to revive him once more, Shun's body soon had a spasm as he began to cough out the water. After several coughs, he took in a deep breath and his eyes cracked open. What just happened? The previous events had gone by rather quickly so he wasn't completely sure of where they were right now.
"Mitsu..?" he asked, with his voice sounding a little raspy at the moment. There was a lot of water all around and it looked like they were in quite a deep pool. He also soon realized that Mot was holding him up. Looking around, he tried to get a better feel of where they were, but he couldn't move too much. Not without possibly rolling out of the cowboy's grasp.
Though, he also quickly realized that Mitsu was currently without her mask. Staring at her, he coughed lightly once again before speaking up. She looked incredibly upset.
"You've saved me again haven't you.."

There was much relief when Shun came around. All the tension of the situation dissipated instantly for Mot. He held Shun up a little more vertical so the downed reaper could cough and get all of that water out of his lungs.
Since Shun couldn't swim, Mot would allow himself to be his crutch, so to speak.
Mot's gaze moved to Mitsu when Shun spoke to her. It was then it clocked; Mitsu had lost her mask in the ordeal. Maybe it was floating somewhere? If she was anything like himself, she would be wanting it back soon.
In fact, although Mot was okay in being parted with his hat for the moment, he still wanted it back soon.
Though that caused him to remember the deal with Freya. If he were to tell Hel what happened like he promised, then he'd have to give it up.
Mot still clung to the hope that Hel would forget.
His thoughts were pushed aside for now, as he gave Shun a smirk. "You gave us quite the scare, partner." He said lightheartedly.

Mitsu pulled back when it seemed she had gotten a reaction that time, allowing the reaper ample space so that he could cough up the water in his lungs. Her worried expression ebbed a little as she continued to tread water only moving back again when it seemed Shun had regained his barrings. She still had yet to realize she had no mask.
"I'm just glad...you're okay," Mitsu's voice seemed to waver a bit as she brought one of her hands from the water to rest against Shun's face. She wanted to hug him but that would be a bad idea considering they had just kept him from drowning. There was no need to risk dragging him and Mot under. Still though, her face was etched with concern. They needed to find a way out of the pool.

Every now and then, Shun coughed some more, still having some liquid caught in his lungs. That aside, his mind was more or less back. It didn't look as if there were any ledges nearby where he could hold onto instead. Which meant for now he had to hang onto Mot which agitated him. Hopefully there would be nothing in the water that would call for some fast swimming. He would no doubt slow the cowboy down.
Hearing that slight waver in Mitsu's voice, he looked back at her, expression softening as she placed a hand onto the side of his face. Unconsciously, he leaned into her touch. As strange as it was, it felt nice.
"Won't be getting rid of me just yet," he said quietly, bringing up a hand of his own to brush away some of her wet locks of hair from her face. His hand lingered there for a few moments as well before he realized what he was doing and let his limb fall back down into the water.

The sweet moment between Shu and Mitsu did not go unnoticed. It was hard not to. The cowboil kept his gaze elsewhere, figuring it would be rude to stare at their little moment. Not like he could swim away, seeing as he needed to keep Shun afloat.
It was this fact that made him realize how troublesome it was to keep afloat while holding Shun. Not only that, he also realized his boots were full of water, and all his lather accessories were starting to drag him down.
He hoped to jack he could keep his endurance up until they found a ledge.
"Hel better hurry up.." Mot muttered.
