Mitsu had been preparing to head over to Shun's dorm as she did most evenings for their study time. Though she wasn't sure if they would be studying or actually starting on the training Shun said he would teach her. She had hoped to mix things up a little so that Shun didn't get so tired of the homework. So with that thought in mind Mitsu only placed a couple of books in her bag and a notebook.
"Hmm..." Mitsu had no idea how intense the training would be. Would she need the first aid kit? It couldn't hurt to bring it. Running to the bathroom Mitsu gathered up the medical kit and placed it inside her bag along with her other things. Now she was set...she hoped.
Mask in place Mitsu pulled her bag over her shoulders and gave Milo and Ziggy a quick pat on the head before she headed to the door. "I'll be back, I'm going to see Shun." Mitsu told the two.
Unfortunately for Mitsu, Ziggy had picked up on Shun's name. She knew Shun, she liked Shun, he made an excellent toy. Eyes as wide as a canyon Ziggy looked at the door as Mitsu started to open it. The lycan hadn't even managed to get the door open a crack before Ziggy made a beeline off the bed, jutting out the door like a bat out of hell.
"Ah Ziggy! Ziggy come back!" Mitsu followed the feline out the door but the acrobat was already mostly down the hall and heading out through the labyrinth that was the monster dorms. In a panic Mitsu shut the door and started after the cat hoping that maybe she would get turned around or trapped. There were so many twists and turns surely the cat couldn't find her way out.
Mitsu's hope was only dashed. Despite not leaving Mitsu's room it was like the feline knew the inner workings of the building. If only Mot could have kept her around he might not have had to spend the night wandering the halls hopelessly lost. Though he probably would have spent the night with a cat firmly attached to his leg.
"Ziggy no! WAIT!" Mitsu called after the cat doing her best to keep her mask in place from her running. She was quick on her feet but it seemed Ziggy was well above her when it came to speed. In not time the cat went flying out the front doors of the monsters dorms and made a dash in the direction of the reaper dormitory. It was like her little kitty mind had a Shun tracking devise.

Normally, Falconry was reserved for, well, Falcons. However Mac was curious to see if such skills could be transferred to an avian that was...definitely not a falcon. It seemed plausible, since all he had to do tp train it was swing a little ball of food on a string, right? In theory, even his Whippoorwill should follow it. Plus, he was bored. He often did things like this when he was bored. Thus, in a field near the Reaper Dorms he was putting his hypothesis to the test and, so far, it was working.
The small bird was flapping frantically after the food on the end of the tether, though it was hard to tell if it was just humouring him or if it too was bored. That was the trouble with birds, they didn't give up emotions well, if at all. Still it went flying, likely imagining this as a game. But both Reaper and pet paused when they heard Mitsu's frantic call. Obviously, he did not recognize the ghoul; he had only seen her a couple times at Prom, so as far as he was concerned the ghoul was a stranger that just needed to take better pair of her own pet.
"Ow!" Mac hissed as his tether rebounded and hit his shoulder, bouncing off again to land with a splat near the path to the Reaper dorms. As the food hit the ground, Whip seemed to no longer take notice of the feline and the canine that were getting closer, and he landed eagerly near the food, craning his little neck down to pick at his spoils.

"Ziggy! Slow down!" Mitsu's calls really didn't seem to be getting through to her feline on the run. Ziggy was bound and determined to get to the reaper dorms. That was, until something caught her little kitty eyes. Seeing the little birdy zipping around over heard Ziggy's eyes suddenly grew as black as coal, watching the avian with intense interest.
She only slowed for a moment to redirect where she was going and when the whippoorwill landed she made a beeline for the bird. It was like something off of Mini Pet Planet channel only down scaled quite a bit from large cat to tiny acrobat. Her claws dug into the ground to pull her small body along faster before she finally crouched down to pounce, claws out ready to catch the bird. It was her greater calling in life. Zig see bird, Ziggy catch bird, Ziggy play with bird...or nom bird. Either or.
Mitsu could only watch in horror as she noticed her mini heading toward the unsuspecting bird. "Ah! Watch out!" She had tried to redirect herself like Ziggy had but being as wonderfully coordinated as she was, Mitsu ended up tripping over her own feet and stumbling forward to land on her hands and knees. She wasn't going to be much help.

Whip was too interested in the food and too dulled by pet life to be weary of anything; noise was common, and it's 'Kitty Senses' seemed to not be working today. Where Whip failed to pay attention, Mac excelled; he noticed the way that the cat suddenly changed direction...and his stomach fell. Thinking fast, Mac's hand flew to his mouth, whistling loud to get the Whippoorwill's attention. He had it, and for a moment the sinking feeling in his stomach fled.
Alas, his whistle did indeed come a little too late, and although Whip had started to fly towards him, it did not fly fast enough. Ziggy's extended claws caught one of the earthy wings, the poor bird letting out a shriek from both surprise and pain, taking a nose dive awkwardly into the ground as it's flight was interrupted.
Mac, who had been staring in wide-eyed horror, snapped back to his senses moments after Whip hit the ground. With a bit of a leap he ran towards his fallen companion and the feline that had brought him down, summoning his white birch staff as he ran, should the acrobat cat have any ideas about trying to nom before he could stop him. Actually, he likely would have swung the staff at the cat anyway, if it had the dull enough sense to hang around within smacking distance.

Ziggy was wide eyed with predator instinct as soon as she managed to swipe a wing with her claws. As the bird took a nose dive Ziggy landed and readied to pounce on the creature once again. All tails began to sway, her wide black eyes solely focused on the avian mini as it hit the ground. It was because of this that Ziggy did not see Mac approaching with his staff.
"Ziggy stop!" Mitsu called out again scrambling to her feet after she had fallen. The lycan noticed the acrobat had managed to take the bird down but had yet to pounce on it. If she got over to Ziggy in time perhaps she could prevent further injury.
And being a cat, and how cats normally were, Ziggy paid no mind to Mitsu's calls. Instead the cat lowered itself to the ground shoulders moving up and down as it readied itself to move. The feline was just about to jump on its victim when the sudden sound of swishing caught her ears and she managed to jump back just in time to miss a swipe from Mac's staff. All tails poofed out like bottle brushes, wide eyes staring up at the reaper as her ears fell back. Oh she was displeased.

Well damn, he missed the cat. It would have been so satisfying to have felt the little beast's weight on the end of his staff. He gave another warning swipe at the creature, forcing it to keep it's distance while he knelt near his fallen bird, the poor thing torn between pain and panic as it tried to fly away, but couldn't bring itself off the ground.
"H-hey, hey...it's okay buddy..." Mac murmured, reassuringly, just glad that Whip was alive; whatever it was could heal, so long as he hadn't been blown into FEAR particles! The Acrobat cat disappeared, the ghoul that had been chasing the cat disappeared...all that he could focus on was his pet, and trying to get it to calm down before it went any further into shock. When trying to hold the creature failed, Mac did the next best thing to try and calm it down; he took off his hat, and trapped Whip under it. Hopefully the darkness would help, as it sometimes did.
Once the frightened chittering subsided and the dimpling in the hat's fabric from frantic flapping stopped, Mac gave a bit of a sigh...and then noticed the predominantly white ghoul nearby, whom he registered as chasing the acrobat before the attack.
"..." He leveled a heavy black-eyed stare at the ghoul, the relief that Whip survived it quickly burned away into absolute anger that it had to have happened at all. And, as far as he was concerned, it was her fault.
"Bloody-jackin-Mary!" Mac cursed, his voice a little louder. "Whip could have DIED!" He growled at her, his voice on edge; it was clearly all her fault; the cat didn't get so much as a second glance, it was the poor canine that had the entire weight of his angry stare.

Coming to a stop only a couple of feet away Mitsu was glad that Ziggy was stationary long enough to grab a hold of. As she reached for the feline a worried glance shifted to the reaper and his pet as he tried to calm the poor bird. She hoped it was okay! It was in this moment of folly that she failed to notice just how shaken Ziggy had been from the swipes of the staff that Mac had made to shoo her away. As soon as her fingers touched the sides of the feline Ziggy turned and swiped at the lycan's hands.
With a yelp Mitsu pulled back, eyeing the scratches across her fingers and palms in disbelief. Ziggy had never attacked her before, the feline was usually so sweet so it was a bit of a shock as she watched the small bits of blood bead up along the small wounds. She was about to turn to Ziggy, maybe try to approach her a different way but Mac's booming voice made her freeze where she was.
Almost petrified, Mitsu turned toward the reaper as he screamed at her. Ears instantly fell back from the scolding, her tail came up between her legs, and her hands clenched tightly out of fear. "I-I-I-I didn't mean....I-I really didn't. I-I'm s-s-so s-sorry." It was hard to understand her as she tried to apologize obviously taking the blame since it was being thrust on her.

Her apologies really only set her up as the perp to this whole fiasco, and with a very displeased snort Mac tore his attention away from her, not bothering to give a response just yet. The bird had calmed as best as it could at the moment, and so he peeled the hat up, carefully scooping the creature into it. The sight of blood made him flinch, his anger melting for only a moment before it came revving right back; his pet shouldn't be bleeding. This should not have happened. It was that stupid ghoul's fault. That stupid ghoul, and her stupid, out of control pet.
"Train your jackin' beast, little ghoul." He growled at her, cradling the injured bird in one arm and picking up his staff as he stood. Narrowed black eyes were focused on her all over again, pausing once he was close enough to loom over the shorter ghoul. "Or I will end it." The temptation was there to strike the acrobat, it was right there, his staff could reach it; but he refrained, and just barely. Lip curling he pushed past the timid student, calling over his shoulder. "If he doesn't recover properly, you and I are going to have a very. serious. talk." The ghoul could whimper and apologize all she wanted, but he had more important things to do, like take Whip to the mini vet.
Unfortunately for Mitsu, he would definitely remember her now; there was no way he could forget what she looked like after all this, all that he had to do should the worst happen, was find out her name. Easy enough, really.

The snort made Mitsu flinch back as she looked up at the boil her attention turning to his pet as he moved to pick up the mini and his hat. It was hard to see the concerned expression behind her mask but she made an attempt to right the situation. She had never wanted the mini to get hurt. Maybe she could offer to help?
"I..is it hurt bad-" Instantly Mitsu was cut off as the reaper snapped at her again. When he came to loom over her smaller form she cowered down wide red eyes staring through her mask wishing she was anywhere but where she was. Somehow his expression, his words, his intimidating stance only reminded her of another.
The words were caught in her throat as the reaper turned to leave. The threat, or at least what she took as a threat, pressed heavily on her mind. What could she say? What could she do? All that came to mind was to worry and fret over the situation.
"Z-z-ziggy." Mitsu stuttered reaching out a pair of shaky hands for the feline. Too bad Ziggy wanted nothing of it. The feline darted off again this time heading toward the forest. For a moment Mitsu was too stunned to know what to do as she watch her mini pet run off. After a few staggered steps she made to follow the feline hoping to catch her before she reached the woods.
It was going to be hard for Mitsu to forget Mac now as well. In her mind there was only fear in association and a terribly guilty feeling like she had done something horribly wrong. She really did feel like it was all her fault.
