Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu had started to strike but her hand was brought to a sudden stop when Shun grabbed hold of her wrist. Eyes still wide she stared at the boy in front of her who seemed to wear a similar bewildered expression. As her grip on the blade loosened the knife dropped from her hand to hit the floor, blood dripping from the self inflicted wound down her palm and across Shun's fingers.

The boys who had stopped were quick to keep moving. They didn't really say anything at first as they hurried along but their whisperings started up when they were a fair distance away.

Her breath now coming in deep and shallow Mitsu dropped the bag in her hand in favor of pressing that hand to her head since Shun was holding her wrist. "N...not...safe." Her consciousness was going in and out, she was just holding on by the tips of her fingers. What would happen when she fell?

Still in shock over what had almost transpired, Mitsu was unable to fight Shun as he lifted her off the ground into his arms. "Not...safe." She repeated, clutching her hands to her chest. Her mind was slipping and she was a danger to those around her and yet....here Shun was helping her when he didn't have to...and shouldn't. She didn't want to hurt him more than she already had.

"Nn," Mitsu brought her hands up to cover her face, not minding that the blood from her wound would be all over the place. She hid her face fairly well but parts were still visible through her fingers. It looked like a score of bruising was appearing on her cheeks but as it darkened it was apparent that it was markings of some sort.

When Shun reached the dorm Tobi was almost immediately out the door to stand in his way. When he saw who it was, however, his tail began to wag though he tilted his head curious of the situation. Moving on down the steps Tobi stepped up beside Shun and walked beside him back toward the dorm as if escorting him it. Some watch dog he was.

Mitsu had grown suddenly quiet as they moved into the dorms, her body still. Hands still pressed to her face there was a muffled sound...a soft giggle. Her fingers spreading apart she looked up at Shun, a touch of madness to her eyes as she giggled again. It looked like the markings were evening spreading to her eyes, her sclera turning black along the outer edges heading toward her irises. Those crimson orbs started to glow faintly, looking all the brighter against the darkened background.

Sensing something was off Tobi suddenly stopped giving a bit of a whine as he did. He seemed to cower down in the hall like he had just been scolded before he started to back up in the opposite direction. Whatever that was wrong didn't seem to agree with him.

The door to the dorm room was thankfully unlocked but Mitsu wasn't much help in getting it open as she laid her head back, her fits of giggles hard to control. Pulling her hands away from her face the wide toothy smile was hard to miss, her face covered in bits of blood from her hand. The markings curved across her cheeks in deep black crooked lines, mirroring the opposite side perfectly. What a disturbing sight.

Mitsu was unable to answer as she continued to giggle. There really would have been no answer anyway. She didn't entirely know. Suto had only told her so much.

When he laid her down on the bed she began to twist and turn but she kept looking toward the music box at the head of her bed with intense focus. She started to reach toward it but her hands quickly grabbed the sheets of her bed instead, her claws tearing through the fabric. Inside the music box was her medicine, neatly tucked to the side so it didn't disturb any of the gears.

As soon as the music box opened the tune started to play. For a moment Mitsu went silent again her giggling stopped as the soft sound of the music box filtered through the air. Releasing her hold on the bed sheets she reached up toward Shun grasping toward the box. It was her silent plea for him to give her the medicine before she was lost to the madness.

Taking the small medicine container Mitsu tried to open it but put too much force on the lid breaking the container in half. She couldn't seem to control the strength she had at the moment but thankfully the two remaining pills fell on the bed. Quickly grabbing up one Mitsu shoved it in her mouth, chewed the foul tasting pill and swallowed.

It took a few moments after to see that it was doing any good. Within a minute though she began to calm further, the black receding from her eyes and face. Her breathing, while still deep and fast, was steady as the glowing faded from her eyes. After a couple more minutes it seemed Mitsu was back to normal, though she didn't move from her spot right away.

"T..thank you for helping me....again." Her voice almost seemed strained as she tried to use it. Pushing her way up off the bed she started to collect the broken pieces of plastic, setting the last pill aside until she had something to put it in. "I'm sorry....you had to see me like that. I...never wanted you to see..."

With a heavy sigh Mitsu set the broken pieces of plastic on her nightstand. "I wonder how much longer...I can pretend that I'm normal." She said softly and mostly to herself. It really wasn't something she wanted an answer on.

Pushing back those thoughts now that the madness was slipping away Mitsu looked back at Shun and held out her hands for the music box. "Thank you...again." She tried to smile despite what had almost happened. "I don't know...what I would have done if you weren't here."
