Mitsu was dangling one moment and the next she had that odd sensation of motion sickness and the feeling of being on someone's arms. She only knew of one ability that would leave her feeling that way, she had felt it before. "S...Shun?"
The ringing was starting to die down and her vision was slowly coming back but she still really couldn't see nor could she hear. At the moment her arms were still bound to her sides, a rather large stain of red around her midsection that had seeped onto the ropes around her. Her hair was a little tousled, no doubt from the explosions, a few small bumps and bruises on her forehead where debris had hit her. Otherwise she didn't appear to have any other injuries though she was shaking furiously. "Shun?" She repeated trying to move.

Shun's grip on her loosened a little as he heard her voice. He looked her over a bit, seeing minor injuries about. Then he glanced down at the rather large red stain in her midsection... it was too low to have been his own blood getting onto her. That aside, she was still tied up, so he went on to try and carefully cut her binding to free her.
"...I'm here.." he said, "..I'm sorry you got pulled into this."
As he said these words, he brought a hand up to brush away some of her hair, but sort of recoiled as he made contact. It wasn't because he was repulsed at all. He just.. remembered things. It also seemed he was about to get back up, but a wave of pain hit him as he moved, preventing him from doing just that yet.

Mitsu turned her head in Shun's direction as her vision slowly came back, his form becoming clearer and clearer. Once her hands were free she moved them up to touch his face. "Shun?" She asked again but her face suddenly changed from worried to upset to extremely furious.
Drawing back one of her hands she tried to slap the assassin across the face, ignoring the pain she felt from such a sudden movement. "What the ******** is going through your mind, Shun?! Do you have any idea how worried I have been about you?" Despite the angry look it appeared as though tears were forming in her eyes. "I had no idea where you were, if you were safe or even alive. You just....you disappeared like...like Ginji."

This was one attack Shun would have never seen coming a mile away. The slap stung and the impact was enough to cause his head to turn, but the shock of it along with her words hurt more than the actual hit. His widened eye slowly softened as he turned his head back to face her more directly. She was hurt... After staring into her eyes for a bit, his head lowered and his gaze was set to the ground.
"It.. seemed like you kept getting pulled into danger because of me," he said quietly, "I... thought if I was gone that'd keep you safe. Seems like I was wrong."
"But.. you really shouldn't.. have worried. It.. was too risky to contact you and.. besides y-you have Desmond. You don't need someone like me around.."

As her vision started to settle back in Mitsu caught sight of the bandages around Shun's eye...and his general state of wear and tear. He looked horrible and she suddenly regretted slapping him.
Eyes softening from her look of anger she reached up toward his face again, her hands gently touching his cheeks this time. "Shun, I want you to listen to me. I want you to hear me and understand when I tell you. You. Are. My. Friend. No matter what. I don't care what you've done or what you will do. I don't care what has happened to me or will happen to me. You are my friend. I will worry about you until the day I no longer exist."
The tears finally started to fall as her hands slipped on around wrapping around his neck as she pulled him in closer for a hug. "I'm so glad you're alive. Don't you dare disappear on me again. P...please. Don't disappear." The crying seemed to start all over again as she held him close not wanting to let go.

Shun flinched a little as she touched him, for the moment thinking he was about to be slapped again, but that wasn't the case. As she spoke, his head lifted so his eye could meet with hers. He was torn, and he still had trouble what it was she saw in himself. There was some relief to hear what she had to say, though. There was more of that feeling to be in her presence again, mixed in with all the other feelings that came with that.
Surprised as she pulled him in for a hug, his eye softened further and he slowly brought his arms up to embrace her in return.
"I... I'm sorry.." he uttered, "It... was hell to be without you.."
There was more he wanted to say, but he didn't have the rights to do so. He was going to have to find a way to cope with that fact as well.
His embrace loosened a bit as he felt even more worn from the toll his wounds took on him. The bleeding from the gunshot wound had slowed, but it hadn't stopped competely.

Shun may not have realized it but it was in Mitsu's basic nature to be as loyal as she was. Especially to those she felt were apart of her family or 'pack'. It was an instinct she couldn't fight nor would she want to. She would remain loyal to her friend until the day she died.
When his embrace loosened Mitsu pulled away slightly trying to wipe some of the tears away from her face. "Look at you, you're all beat up. You need to get to a hospital." There was no way she could treat this many wounds on her own. And he had been shot from the look of it. Trying to get to her feet her arm wrapped around her middle, a grimace present on her features from the pain. Her lack of a healing ability was really starting to suck right about now.
Kneeling still Mitsu tried to help Shun to his feet the best she could. "W...what happened to Nyx?" Mitsu had a feeling she knew the answer, even though she didn't want to think about it. Nyx had been strange but she had been nice to her....until today. Was she naive to think the girl really wanted to be her friend? It had seemed like Nyx had wanted a friend....but it didn't make much since for her to do something like this....Mitsu just didn't understand.

Wincing as he stood up with Mitsu's help, Shun had to stop himself from saying 'I'll be fine'. He really did need treatment soon, even if he didn't want to go to the hospital. He felt like a sitting duck there. His hand went back up to clutch at the wound as he tried not to lean too much against the girl.
"She's dead," he said bluntly with a hint of spite in his words. A few of the things Nyx had said to him were true but that didn't make him hate her any less for what she had done here.
"If I left her alive, she'd probably just come after me again sometime later. She might even try to kill you straight up just to spite me," he grumbled.
"I.. should have never told you how I feel.."

Mitsu nodded slowly her eyes looking around the building top. "I...I see." Was all she managed to say as she spotted the small room with a door. No doubt there was a staircase there. "L...Let's get you down from here and somewhere that can treat your wounds." He was in bad shape and the longer they procrastinated in doing anything the more likely Shun would be unable to help her transport him anywhere. There was an awful lot of blood and from the looks of it he had been stabbed and shot. Without treatment he could easily bleed out.
Starting to head over to the small building on the roof Mitsu only stopped when Shun said he should have never told her how he felt...or....how he was feeling. Did he still feel that way even now? "Shun, you shouldn't have to hide your feelings. Even knowing what I know now I wouldn't want you to keep that from me. That's a lot to bear on your own. I know it didn't turn out like you hoped since I am with Desmond but....one day you're going to meet someone better than me and you'll need to be about to tell them how you feel." It didn't sound like a maybe sort of situation, Mitsu was certain Shun would find the one he was meant to be with. She wanted with all her heart for her friend to be happy and not be trapped in misery.

Making his way inside with her help, Shun hoped the elevators wouldn't be too sluggish.. or that they wouldn't run into anyone while on said elevators. He might have been wearing dark clothing, but that just made the blood slightly less obvious. It would certainly raise some suspicions.
Glancing over at Mitsu, he let out a sigh he shook his head slowly.
".. She said that by saying it I've condemned you.. and you were almost killed because of it," he said quietly, "But.. it's not like I can really express it now anyway.. I'm sure that'd only put me onto Desmond's hitlist if I'm already not there."
Up until he had figured it out, he didn't think he was capable of love in the first place. Well.. maybe he really didn't but meeting Mitsu had given him that sort of ability. It was a strange feeling..

He wasn't really listening...as usual. It was frustrating and was making Mitsu mad all over again.
"Would you stop," Mitsu's expression looked rather stern as she finally made it to the door. By some miracle it was unlocked and opening it up she made her way inside with Shun in tow. There were stairs but not many so hopefully they would be able to find an elevator to take them down the rest of the way.
"You are not the source of my troubles. This is only a minor inconvenience if it means I get to keep you around. Besides....someone else condemned me long before we were friends...and if I had a choice I would rather go this way than by his hands." She didn't elaborate on who she was talking about but she figured Shun already knew.
"And I'm not the only girl in the world." She continued. "I don't want you to make yourself miserable on my account, I'm not worth that. I want you to be happy but you're not going to be if you keep hanging on like that."

At that, Shun had fallen silent, save for some winces and the like as they made their way down the stairs. He really didn't know what to say back at that. Rather than speaking right away, he was just trying to process everything she was telling him. Personally he wasn't sure what was worse. Losing her to Suto or to something that was caused by himself.
It wasn't until they stepped into the elevator that he finally spoke up.
"I'm sorry..." he said while avoiding her gaze in the meantime, "I just.. I guess I don't really know how to deal with something like this. I've never really.. experienced... love .. in any way."
His father certainly didn't show him any. Bent-Tail was a good friend of course, but he couldn't say there was any love there.

"It's okay," Trying not to jar Shun too much Mitsu reached over and started to hit the button for the ground level but instead hit the button just below it for parking. There would be less people down below more than likely so it would be easier to get out and to somewhere that could help without being stopped.
As the doors closed and they started moving down Mitsu looked up at Shun awkwardly. For the moment she was doing well to ignore the wound on her stomach, but she could feel the blood still running down her front. "It's just....I hate to see you so upset. And because of me. You're a great guy and despite what you think you have the ability to be kind and caring. You....risked yourself for me tonight....again. Thank you."
She was silent a moment longer before her gaze went back to the bandages over his eye. "I...is your eye okay?" He probably hadn't gotten that from the fight with Nyx since the bandages were securely in place and done on the spot.

The start of the elevator, even as smooth as it was, still shifted him a little more than he would have liked. Gritting his teeth in pain, doing what he could to ignore it. That wasn't too easy. He was still clutching at the injury and he didn't seem too comfortable from the look on his face.
"It's nothing..." he said quietly to her thanking him. Shun couldn't just leave her hanging. As his eye was brought up, he glanced at Mitsu momentarily before shook his head slowly.
".. It's gone," he murmured. The wound there was mostly sealed, thanks to the healer, but the damage done to the actual eye was too much. The cut could be closed, but the functionality couldn't be restored, so he had it removed. It bothered the assassin a fair amount. As seen from the earlier fight, it gave him a weakness others could easily exploit. How exploitable it'd be would depend on how well he adapted, but it would never really fully go away.
As the elevator got closer to their destination, he found himself having to lean on the wolf girl some more. His body was feeling heavier as his strength slowly waned.

"I....It's gone?" Mitsu looked concerned not only from that news but the look of pain on Shun's features. Normally he hid pain fairly well so if the look on his face was any indication....he was pretty bad off. But what had the assassin gotten himself into while he was gone? Mitsu could only worry how hard that must have been for him to have lost his eye and having been on his own. "Oh, Shun...I'm so sorry."
The further they went though the more Mitsu could feel Shun leaning on her, his weight putting strain on her own injury. She did her best to hide how uncomfortable it made her feel, she needed to get him somewhere fast.
"Come on, Shun. Stay with me please." There would be no way she could carry him if he collapsed. "I think there's an immediate care center close. They should be able to help."
The door finally opened when they made it to the parking garage and Mitsu started her way out the door doing her best to help Shun along. "Do you think you can make it?"
