Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shifting her gaze downward as Shun rested his head in her lap Mitsu did what she could to make sure her hair was mostly dry before she gave her attention to her reaper. Her fingers came up to brush through his hair, pulling it away from his face. "What were you thinking about?" Mitsu asked in a whisper.

Where to go or what to do was far from her mind. She wasn't really in the mood to make decisions nor did she really feel she had the power to do so.

"If that's what you want." Mitsu sad quietly in return.

Her fingers continued to brush through his hair, considering his words as he spoke. "And I love you. I just want what's best for you." Even if that meant giving up what she wanted.

Mitsu had been content to sit on the couch and brush through Shun's hair. It gave her a moment to pretend they were back at their dorm just relaxing for the day without school or anything else to worry about. That illusion was shattered the moment Shun began to move, looking her in the eye briefly before he stood to his feet.

She was hesitant to follow but still stood to her feet as he headed toward the elevator. The lycan wasn't sure if she should attend, especially considering how the last meeting had gone but as soon as Shun turned to see if she was following she finally made up her mind and hustled over to the elevator to stand beside him.

Mitsu's ears had picked up on the dispute long before they reached the door but she followed Shun until they were close, her eyes focused on the barrier between them and Kaitou's office. From the sounds of it the man that had taken them out to dinner the day before was arguing with Shun's father.

She only heard the tail end of the dispute before Shun pushed through the door just in time to see his father cut Shiro down rather violently with his weapons. Mitsu didn't know how to react at first, her eyes trailing to where Shiro had once stood, to the weapons that Kaitou had before he de-summoned them, to finally the man himself. Her crimson eyes were wide with terror staring at the pleasant smile he offered them both like nothing had just occurred.

"H...he's like them..." Mitsu took a step back and away from the door, her eyes locked on the older reaper as her expression became more panicked and feral.

And here Mitsu was supposed to be the monster but Kaitou took over the role to a whole new light. Though now a days monster came in the form of a different name to the lycan. Something that resonated with her a little more. "...Hunter.."

He was nothing but ruthless and uncaring. Just like the men who had her strapped to a table ready to cut her to pieces. Her only value had been scraps and that was all Kaitou saw in his men. Shun really wanted to be apart of this? Did he really want to be like a hunter.

"Like them...he's like them." She repeated, backing up until she was against the wall in the hallway. There was no way she was going to step into that office.

Still out in the hall Mitsu could hear the conversation, her ears turning forward as Shun began to speak. There was a light of confusion in her gaze because what came out of his mouth was far from what she expected to hear. Was it just a play on words or did Shun really mean that?

There was a small glimmer of hope, some sort of proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. A chance at a normal life without the fear of all of this but then...

Her mind drifted to Shiro, the man she had just watched Kaitou kill. The poor old man just wanted things to change for the better but obviously had Shun's better interests in mind. He didn't want to force him into this life if he didn't want it. Mitsu didn't know him that well but she felt sorry for him that this was the amount of respected he had gained. A simple verbal disagreement had somehow warranted his death.

Would...Shun really be able to fix all of this?

"S..Shun." Her voice was barely a whisper, she had trouble speaking in her fright and even as she tried to get his attention she felt that hope of a normal life slipping away. Instead of saying anything else she rose her hands and signed two simple words. 'Fix it.'

As soon as she signed out the only two words she had to offer, Mitsu simply let her hands fall to her sides. Now it wasn't Shun who had chosen this life...it was her. While she thought he was capable of so much more there was a problem here that needed to be fixed. If they didn't do something it was likely more people would suffer and they would likely be involved one way or another. She didn't like it, not one bit, but their choices were limited. The only thing that mattered to her though was that Shun was willing to choose her over this job..this life he thought suited him. He was willing to give it up to make her happy. Maybe if it became too much in the future they could make a new life, a better one away from all this.

For now her concerns were of Kaitou and how he was going to respond to all this. It was highly unlikely he would take this news with a smile and pat Shun on the back for making the decision he wanted.

Mitsu so badly wanted to open her mouth but managed to stay quiet until Shun made his way back out of Kaitou's office and embraced her. She was stiff for a moment, still in a little bit of shock and fear before her arms finally came up to hold him close. Closing her eyes tightly she buried her face deep into Shun's shirt resisting the urge to cry.

"Are you okay?"
