extended prologue

You're brother is a villain, he stole you at the age of ten seeking revenge from the ancestors, for not passing down your family's quirk to him. 

It is said only the first born will bear the abilities of the kitsune; your quirk was gifted by your great ancestor han-go, an island diety from long ago.

Your brother works for the league of villains. All for one entrusted him With a special quirk that allows him to obsorb your quirk through Multiple Injections, and in exchange, you're forced to give snippets of DNA

You suffer from multiple forms of abuse, and you're forced to steal. You tried getting a job at a cafe, but you never seem to have enough money for anything, considering he'd almost always rob you.

Your ultimate crush on Bakugo Katsuki might take a turn for the worst when he figures out the truth, but In the meantime your left suffering.

Will you survive long enough for them to learn your secret? Or will you grow so tired of suffering that you end your own life?

~ • ~

Your quirk: kitsune

Your quirk is organic based; Involves manipulation, and obsorption of life force energy. The amount of power you have  depends on the amount of life force energy you obsorb,

The downside: when obsorbing life force energy from another person, you're linking your body to theirs. However you feel, and whatever wounds you have will be transferred to the person whose life force energy has been taken.

You can manipulate a strange blue flame called foxfire, depending on how much energy You have, the hotter the flame will become.

your quirk gives you fox like features, like ears and tails. You have 5 tails in total, you have all of them when using 100% of your quirk, and you grow into a giant white fox larger than most wolves, using 50% you can change into a small white fox with two tails, and as a human you Usually have 3 of them out.

Your Pov

I've always loved the blooming flowers, the birds, and the big fluffy clouds that drift through the big blue sky so luminously. I've always loved the way the wind tugged my hair back gently as I walked. It gave the billowing leaves rhythm--I loved the soft whispering they'd make--almost like nature itself wants to chatter along too.

Yet the exhaustion that started up a while ago; it sits like a veil over my skin, grey and cold. And as I watch the petals and the twigs that sway outside the cellar window, there is only a creeping sorrow where there should be joy. The memory of what once was a life worth running in an open field, carrying pales of crops alongside my brother--is washed away with blood.

The morning was brutal. I woke up to the creaking cellar door; followed by a heavy booming voice. That reveberated throughout the room.

"Get the hell up shitface!" My brother spat venemously after unlinking the chain from the Wall. After doing so, it's hard for me to keep my body from collapsing, my feet weren't exactly awake yet. I rub my eyes, heaving a long sorrowful sigh. He drags me upstairs and locks me in my bedroom, to get ready for school.

As I get ready, I lost myself in the vast sea of overwhelming thoughts in which my foolish teen-brain consists of. I throw on a sweatshirt like always, to hide the bruises and marred wounds on my arms. I wore a pair of dark black and grey joggers, just because I liked them. There I sat at my vanity, despite how shattered the mirror was.

(b/n) went on another rampage, assuming I had money stashed away somewhere; ultimately resulting in my poor mirrors demise.

Because of his ass, I was going to have to take an extra shift at the cafe later on today if I wanted to get a new one. I caked my face, and neck In makeup, hiding the dark circles around my eyes; and raw flesh around my neck and chest from where the collar rubbed against my skin. While doing so flashbacks start rolling in. I emotionlessly stared back at my crumbled reflection.
I'm startled back into reality When my door is kicked open.

"What'd I say about locking the-" he Halts in his tracks realising the door wasn't actually locked, playing with the handle. "Oh."

he then scrunched his face back up In adgitation, "Well then Whipe That smug Look off your face before I slap the Shit out of you." I stare at him unfazed, and shrug. I always Had this look on my face, I really didn't know what he was getting at.

I combed my tail, humming To the tune, of the very lulluby my mother would sing to me Before I'd slumber. It would warm my heart just listening to her calm, soothing voice as I drifted into the void of slumber

I tried not to let My Painful life drag me down. To try and Maybe Act like everything's normal. Then I guess I'd feel kind of normal.

After I finished getting ready, I throw my bag over my shoulder. I drenched myself in perfume to Mask The Scent of Death. Falling asleep in a pool of my own blood the other night made me smell like a walking cemetery.

The Walk to school, I found myself Dozing off. Usually, I'd skip to school. Everyday I passed by This Beautiful white dog With Striking multicolored eyes, and it reminded me of Todoroki. I'd Stop by the bakery, and gift it with a croissant.

But Today I was so exhausted. I hated Being locked in the cellar during the night, my fear of the dark only intensified. Sometimes he'd forget to leave Water. I'd have to beg For At least some Sort of liquid to stay Hydrated.

A while ago I tried running away in the dead of night, He figured It out somehow and caught me. Eventually I stopped trying to run away. He was the only one who knew the truth to my story; to what happened to our parents.

I'm apparently Some sort of Weapon, I'm technically owned by him. I was a fool to even dream Of living a normal Life; striving to become a hero just like my friends at school.

I don't Understand my quirk, and he won't allow me to. It was hard Getting him to let me go to UA high, but once I claimed I Was going there to get inside Information; then he was convinced. I've gone to this School for about a year now, Japan has Definitely grown on me; and my brother. The Collar Around my neck Now Tracks my location; the people (b/n) Works for just won't let me escape this living hell.

I almost never feel safe anymore.

The only places I feel safe are at school with my friends.

With Katsuki.

If course if he knew the truth about me he'd probably hate me.
But I couldn't let myself worry about that until it was necissary.

"(F/n)! Hey wait up!!" I halt in my tracks, at the sound of someone calling for me. I turn around to find uraraka charging for me, Beaming A smile so bright it Damn near blinded me.

I sigh coming to a halt; giving her time to catch up with me. When she finally does, she slumps forward, gripping her knees. She pants gasping for air, which causes me to chuckle.

"Just- give me- a minute-" she extends her index finger, keeping it In place before finally straightening her posture. "(F/n)!!" She whines. "Why didn't you wait for me!" I thought back to our conversation Yesterday. Scanning over her pouty expression.

On my way out of class, She'd stopped me in the hall, and asked why I Always Walked to and from school alone. Iida had claimed It was too dangerous to be doing that. I remember the way her glossed orbs Sparkled with anticipation when she Asked If we could start walking together.

I scratched my neck anxiously, "U-Uh, sorry about that...I was a little late getting ready this morning." She sighs, brushing it off for now. "Its fine. Hey how are you doing? Yesterday you seemed a bit off when you left class." We continued the path to school. My heart would patter anxiously at her prying questions. I'd create lie after lie. Uraraka was A curious girl.

Eventually she started ranting on about her life. I drifted off into space, staring At the Winding Paved sidewalk. I lost myself In a seemingly endless sea of thoughts.

My body was Sore, last night (b/n) really let me have it for coming home so late. He usually locks me in the cellar around nine thirty, I'd gotten of around ten fourty-five, I took Someone else's Shift, they called in claiming they had the flue.

I was startled to find Izuku Had Somehow caught Up with us, I didn't really See him until I picked my gaze up. "Goodmorning (F/n), and uraraka!" He offers a warm smile. Uraraka responds cheerfully, but I merely flash A Warm smile, responding with a wave, and Kindly push past him. staring at the ground, I dozed off repetitively yet again.

Eventually I felt my body collide with something tall, and Practically Metallic. I was startled by the Sound Of Iida's booming voice Merely Gave me a panic attack. "Miss, (l/n)! I highly Advise You To Try and Stay awake While your feet Are moving! The Results Could be Very bad for your health!"

My Ears flinch at His booming voice. The moment He started Slicing the air, I Ended up flinching Back At his hand in general, stumbling backwards into uraraka And Izuku.

"Hey, (f/n), are you sure you're alright?" Uraraka voices her concern, deku seems too busy Staring into his journal and muttering to really notice.
I swollowed back the lump in my throat. "I'm fine okay! Sheesh!" I Scrambled Away, scanning my surroundings. It was then I realised We'd finally made it to the school. I was just to busy staring at the sidewalk to notice.

I try Meandering around the nearest corner Only to find myself Running into Someone yet Again. God I was Really embarrassing myself today.

"If you don't Wanna get Blasted Across campus for getting in my way, I suggest you run you little shit-" Katsuki's booming loud voice shook me to my core. Realising who I was he sighed, "it's you."

I nod profusely. A long awkward silence crept into the conversation. "Watch where the Fuck you're going. Got it tails?" He snarls down at me. I flinch Fearfully, "S-Sorry!!!"

I Scrambled to the nearest bathroom practically hyperventilating.

I've wasted my energy embarrassing myself in front of everyone. Now what?

I sat in the stall and cried a little bit like I usually do, rubbing My wounds.

Lunch was a major Bust. I was both starving and nauseous. I Couldn't eat anything if I wanted to. a few weeks ago (b/n) delivered a Critical blow right in my stomach. I can't keep my food down, but I feel like I'm dying.

During Training; that's when It felt like I was about to crumble
Training with all my peers all together would be One thing, but Training With Bakugo was an entirely different story.

And I was already covered in wounds. Not to mention, I was wearing a Heavy black Sweat-jacket, And I hadn't eaten in like almost a week and a half. My insides felt like they were being twisted.

He kept Growling at me for letting my Guard down, and Then he'd snap At me For trying in general.

Katsuki was being a huge pain in the ass today, but I guess that's one of the Things I liked about him. He wasn't afraid to state the obvious, he was straightforward.

We Fought back and fourth, he'd try bickering at me about something, but I'd only Apologize.
"Quit Saying You're fucking sorry!! We're Fighting!!" He Growled, Aiming an explosion Towards the ground in front of me. I tried dodging, using my fox-fire to Propell me into the air.

I thought it'd turn out Cool, but instead I tripped over one of my tails, and fell on my Face. I sighed, "S-Sorry for..saying sorry?" I trailed off. He scowled down at me. He scans My appearance, waiting for me to get up.

He furrows his eyes,"Why the hell are you still wearing that shit!! It's hot as hell out here!!" He Roars, Before Blasting me again, I swiftly dodged. "What does my jacket have to do with training?!" I yell back

"I don't fucking know!!" He retorts, angrily spamming me with multiple attacks.

Well then :/

Each Blast Hit me Directly. It hurt like hell, and I just couldn't counter it With my fox fire. Eventually I just stopped trying.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" He snarls. I shakily aim towards him; my vision was blurring. Last time i checked There was only one Katsuki, by now there were like eight.

"Why the Fuck aren't you fighting back!!" I flinched at the sight of him preparing to Blast me in the face. I stumble forward and Burst into a Coughing fit.

I slumped over. Katsuki's Flaming Hot Scowl melted into a look of concern. Blood splatters against my forearm, the world Spins faster and faster.

Eventually I collapse onto my knees, throwing up blood all over the ground. "Oi, tails what- What the hell is wrong? I-"
The concrete grew larger, the his Loud voice is muffled by The sound Of multiple Oceans crashing against my Eardrums.

He scoops me into his arms, "God dammit!! (l/n) Stay with me!" I drift Off into the overwhelming Sea of darkness tugging at my vision. As he pats on my cheek, probably trying to keep me awake. But honestly The relief of being held in his arms, and the feeling of his skin against mine, lulled me to a peaceful sleep. Imprinting his Scent in my mind.

"Sensei!!! She just passed the Fuck out-"

~ Time skip ~

I woke up To a pair of worried orbs Gazing down at me. My breathes hitch, as I jolt forward.
"W-Where am I?!" I squeak. I realised I was cold, And fold my arms together shakily before Realising.

My jacket?!?!

"Relax dear, you're Safe For the time being. I'm surprised to find you awake so soon; your wounds were lethal." The recovery girls voice was reassuring, but I was still anxious. Without my jacket on; my wounds were revealed.

"If most wounds are recent, it's easier to heal them. But if They are there for a long time, it takes longer to heal." She points out.
I was startled by the Sound Of aizawa's stoic voice in interjection.

"That being said, would you mind telling me where Those wounds Came from?" When did he Even get here? God, his icy glare was Hard To Steer clear of.

anxiously raking my brain for a response, I stammered out, "Um...Well You see the other day....I was um...I uhh....walking and I just...Ploop I fell down stairs!" Both him and the recover girl quirk an eyebrow. I noticed he had my jacket Folded over his arm.

I needed that Jacket back.

"You fell?" He responds Obviously unconvinced. I could feel someone listening in on our conversation. I sensed a rather familiar pressence just outside the door.
I swollow back the lump in my throat, and aizawa finally sighs.

"Well, we've Called your brother; you're going home early today." I felt my heart sink.

"Y-You what?!?" Why?! Why me...why now?!? "Do you have a problem with that (l/n)?" He retorts strictly. I shook my head profusely, trying to hide the tears brimming my eyes, but I could tell he Noticed.

"(L/n), is there something You're keeping from us?" He presses. I shook my head no. I Couldn't tell them, even if I Wanted to. I'd be putting Innocent lives on the line, for the sake of Needing Help.

It just wouldn't be fair if they had to suffer, because of me.

"C-Can I please have my jacket now?" He stares at me for a while, before sighing in defeat, and tossing it over to me. "Don't let me Catch you wearing that During training anymore." His voice was monotone. I couldnt imagine What lies ahead of me today. Literally. My brother Would be ready to kill me After I pulled this stunt.

I'm so so Stupid.

Bakugo's Pov

Katsuki Bakugo, had delt with many things in life, but He'd never Faced Terror like this before.

Fuck, Did I kill her?!?

Mere seconds after (F/n) collapsed to the ground, leaving Katsuki to Angerly panic, He Scoops her into his arms. "Come On tails!! Fuck- Stay with me!!" He anxiously taps her cheek, but she wouldn't budge.

Eventually everyone in Class stops In their tracks, rushing to see What all the commotion was about. "Sensei!!" He roared, Panic evident In his crimson Orbs. "She just Passed the Fuck out on me!!"

Aizawa Rushes over to the frail; seemingly lifeless girl. Everyone Starts panicking, worried for their fallen friends safety. This Adgitated Aizawa, to an extent. "Everyone get Back to what your doing, unless you want more laps added to your training." (F/n)'s peers nervously Go back to training, but no one Could stop worrying. Even Todoroki Was Concerned.

Aizawa flashes Bakugo a Cold Stare, "Get that jacket off her, That's probably What did it. Take her to Recovery girl."

"What the hell do i look like?! A goddamn taxi? Why don't you Do it!!?" Aizawa merely rolls his eyes, "(f/n) trusts You, and in case you haven't noticed, you're all she talks About." Bakugo scowls at this, but Still Found himself Slightly blushing.

"Alright! Fine." He snarled.

He and aizawa work together To take the girls Jacket off. What they find underneath Is Absolutely appalling.

Her Arms were pale, and littered With wounds. Burn marks, Scars Deep enough For stitches, fist sized Bruises. Their eyes grow wide. Bakugo trembled for a split second.

"What The Fuck?!"
They exchange Glances, aizawa, finally sighs. "I'll ask Her About That later, but for now get her to Recovery girl asap. Some of these wounds could be lethal." Bakugo Suprisingly doesn't argue, and Nods in response.

Her body was so Small. He Clenched his Jaw, thinking back to this morning. She'd flinched at him. Come to think of it, she's always flinching at him, at everyone for that matter.

Someone did this to her.

His thoughts are engulfed in sheer rage, but he finds himself calming down, feeling her nuzzle into his chest. A lump forms in his Throat, her skin was so cold. This was nerve racking for him.

She was usually so warm.
Just this morning When She'd accidentally ran Into him, he remembered the warmth that radiated from her body.

Right now she was quivering, her skin was growing colder by the second.

Eventually, he took advantage of his Abilities out of worry for the girl, and blasted them to the recovery girl As fast as he possibly could; hugging her, to his chest.

One thing was certain.
He wasn't going to let anyone hurt this Girl, anymore.

This was Only

Your Pov

I sat silently In the recovery girls office, waiting for my brother solemnly. I still Felt someone watching me, or listening in somewhere Nearby. The pure Thrum of a racing heart; makes me flap my ears anxiously.

I decided maybe It'd be best to let My guard down For Now, I was in a school. And whoever's heartbeat Was ringing in my ears, held Dramatic Familiarity. I wanted to tell myself maybe it was Bakugo. Maybe he Did care. Someone in my life cared.

But the truth is No one does.

That's my truth anyway.

The anticipation Of Waiting on my brother drove me crazy. Images flashed in my mind. I've been through Hell and back at (b/n)'s hands. A part of me felt like I deserved what was coming to me.

Another part of me screamed that I didn't have to suffer like this. If I told someone, maybe I had a chance at living a better Life.

Then I thought back to my brothers words.

"If you tell someone, what we're doing here; what do you thinks going to happen?"

I was only eleven. I was helpless.
Alone. Scared.

I just wanted my mother. To see my father's smiling face.

To see haun, My old dog. To look at My Bedroom, and sigh the breathe of life- Life without suffering- It seemed almost impossible Eventually.

"I'll see mom again?" I look up at him, and he scowls. "Wrong!!" Pain surges Throughout my body, electricity reaches Even the tips of my fingers. I was so small, my fox fire Was merely a sparkle. I only had one tail.

"They're going To Lock you away! And then you'll never See The light of Day!! You'll suffer For your crimes against The greater good. You're a monster like me!! Got that little shit?!?!" I nodded profusely, tears brimming my eyes, Blood Spewing from my mouth.

A life without suffering.
What would that look like?

That was a question I often found myself pondering at The silliest of times. That's usually around the time I get my hopes up. I feel like Someone will notice, and maybe Save me from this living hell. But then everything crumbles, and I'm always dragged back down by my brother.

I was shaken from my thoughts At the sound of a knock at the door. I felt My cheeks Flush Bright red, to find a Pair of concerned Red orbs Gazing at me longfully.

Why is He Here?!?!

H-HE WOULDN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT SOMEONE LIKE ME-

would he??

"Hey tails!" He snarls, throwing something At me. It was my bag. "Next time we train, You better not Fucking pass out like that. What the hell is wrong with you?!" His heartbeat was strong.

Was he the one watching me???

His heartbeat

I felt a lump form in my throat, I wanted to respond but I didn't know how. I Barely managed to stammer out, "T-Thank you!!" He scoffed. "What's up with your face?" He quirked his eyebrow Raggedly, before answering his own question; "Wait A Fucking minute!! I swear if you don't take That God Damn Jacket off-" "I-I know I know! S-S-Sorry katsuki-" I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly.

His Eyes Widen, a tint of pink Creeping it's way onto his cheeks. "The Fuck did you Just Call me?!?"

Crap. Now I really did it.

I waved my Hands anxiously. "S-Sorry I-I Didn't mean to- I-It just slipped- I-I mean!!! Nevermind I Didn't Even Say Katsuki I-I said.. , U-UHH Ad-Adsuki!! M-My totally not fake Uncle I just made up at the top of my head- w-who lives in Uhhh, (y/f/t)."

I've honestly never been happier to see the recovery girl than I was in this moment.

She booted Bakugo out, and told me I needed to rest. Lying down on a cott was so much more comfortable than being in the floor like a dog. It wouldn't have been Hard to fall asleep If They didn't call My brother like that.

Eventually though, my eyes drifted Closed And beautiful images flowed through my Brain, For once in a long time I found myself resting.

"(B/n)? My brother and I Were Tending to grandmother's garden. The Chrysanthemum's had Finally Bloomed, my brother and I had planted them with her not to long ago. I remembered The joy in his eyes.

"(f/n)! What is it? Your making me spill water on my sandals!" I scanned his Appearance. He Looked so happy. I'd never seen him like this before. It Warmed my heart.

I sighed."Ha, I'm sorry. Its nothing." He puffs out his cheeks, before elbowing me in the side, "You did that on purpose! Grandma said I could water the flowers today stop being a jelous nun!" I giggled at that, "A nun? Huh?" I teased him.

He smirked Shaking his head. Before I Knew it He Pointed the Hose towards me, I was Showered in water. "I'm gonna Get you for that!" I snarled, he Laughed but Slipped on the water, he didn't fall, but he dropped the hose.

I took the opportunity to grab it. He giggled, "Hey no fair!! That was So cheap!!" I rolled my eyes, "oh yeah?" I pointed the hose at his face, then pointed it away, Leaving him Slightly Dumbfounded. "How's that for cheap?" He pouted his lip, before bursting into a fit of laughter. We wrestled for the water hose.

My brothers laughter, it was surreal. His smile Was bright enough to scald my retinas.

Tears brim my eyes. I came to a halt. My brother stops, his Smile melting into a look of Concern. "(F/n)?? Why are you crying, are you okay?" He tilts his head to the side.

I collapsed to the ground bursting into tears. "None of this is real! Don't you get it?" He stares at me blankly without responding for almost five minutes. "I'm not...I'm not real?" He Presses, looking down at his hands in panic.

All I had to do was blink. The world around Me Shifted from bright Cheerful, to Dark And mind numbing. "This would be real, if you hadn't killed Our parents!!!!"

His rage filled voice shook me to my core. "N-No! I-It was an accident....I-I didn't mean-"
"Wrong!!!" A surge of Pain merely sends my body Into cardiac arrest. "I should've inherrited Father's chi. If you were never Born; none of this would be Happening!!" The pain only intensified. I force the tears out of my eyes, choking on my own sobs. "Y-You told me- You told me You loved me!!" For a brief moment I discovered Something Different within his icy Blue Orbs.

"Don't you remember?! (B/n)?? When we played in grandmother's garden!!- W-When we told each other, No matter What Lies in our future, that we'd always stuck together!!!"

He wasn't the same little boy with paper thin blonde hair And Ocean blue orbs anymore, He was A tall man; with stubble Barely sprouting from the tip of his chin.

And for some reason, I wasn't afraid.

I beat my fists against his chest, losing my mind over the Memories we'd shared together, only for them to be trashed.
"Remember the Flowers?! Remember Our friendship?! Is that all really gone?? Do you really resent me because I inherited powers that I never wanted in the first place?!!!"

The pain Pierced into my Neck.
The pain was like heroine. I knew It was horrible, but I Felt like I deserved it.

I was born with uncontrollable powers. I was born a monster.
And a monster, I would remain.

"You Disgust me." He Spat, Glaring Down at me. I stumble back, but find myself falling into a pool of Black sludge. I tried Rushing back to my feet, but the more i struggled the quicker I was Pulled Beneath the Liquid surface.

I jolted forward. My chest Rises And falls heavily, it was then I reminded myself where I was, and I sighed in relief at the sound of Recovery girl's Calm reassuring voice.

She Had placed her hand on my shoulder, which Must have jolted me awake. She offers a Warm smile, "Everything's fine Dear, I've just received word your brother is here." As if on cue, The door creeks open to reveal (b/n), with an obviously fake smile plastered On his Face.

"Time to go sis!" He Beams, approaching me. I felt my Heart throb.

He was Really Pissed.

He Placed A hand on my shoulder, leading me out. He takes my bag, carrying it for me. I swollow back the lump in my throat, and Follow him like A lost puppy.

Exitting the room, I find both bakugo and aizawa, had been Waiting outside the door. Aizawa, Motions for (b/n), to halt.

"I'd like to have a word with you about (l/n) injuries." I quivered in My Shoes. He glances over to me, flashing A smile even brighter before;  his eye twitching repetitively.

"You don't say?" He Retorts.
Bakugo Forcefully Takes off my jacket, anger evident In his gaze. I hissed At His abrupt aggressiveness.

Why was he doing this to me?!?

"Care to explain?"
Aizawa adds. My brother rubs his neck sheepishly. "(L/n)'s been taking her Training lessons Home with her, if you ask me she's probably Just over working herself. Isn't that right (l/n)? He elbows me.

Bakugo was Highly unconvinced.

"What The actual Fuck is wrong with you?! I-" Aizawa Immidiately halts bakugo's outburst, With his scarves. "If you know what's Good for you, I suggest you get back to class." Bakugo flashes A dark scowl, but Listens to aizawa.

My brother Only smiles. "Young love, am I right?" Aizawa Was obviously unamused. Ignoring my brothers statement, "If (l/n) is Saying She's Fine returning home with you, I completely Trust her. I have faith in my students, and what they can do."

Aizawa Gets right In my brothers face, huffing angerly, "But I never said anything about Trusting You." With that, aizawa shoves past (b/n) to Go speak with recovery girl.

The Entire Walk Out of school, I kept my Gaze on the ground; he kept his Hand clenched on my shoulder, But eventually He Clenched so Hard, I felt like it Was going to snap.

By the time we made it to his truck, I could feel a new bruise already forming On my shoulder.

We sat in a dead silence the first part of the ride, but eventually He Turns to Face me, His skin seemingly boiling with rage.
"After the shit you pulled today, not even the cellar is enough for you. I Oughta cut your goddamn tails off." His voice was lifeless.

This was terrifying.

"I-I'm so sorry (b/n)-"
"Cut the Bullshit!!! You did this on purpose!!" Talk about major Dejavu. I Couldn't believe My brother Was ever that innocent Little boy in the guarden.

"I-I have work tonight-" I Stated Anxiously. He scoffed at that, but The realisation hit him like a truck. We hadn't stolen anything in a while, so we were broke. Someone needed to Pay the bills this upcoming tuesday, and I was the only one equipped to do so.

He angrly slams on the gas pedal. I yelped.

I so wasn't ready to face his wrath later on tonight. I just wanted to go home and sleep, but I knew the darkness wouldn't allow that.

~ Time skip ~

I took the extra Shift at The Cafe, as promised. Amidst the walk there, eventually I felt someone watching me again.

I merely brushed it off, and carried on my Work. My homelife was already a living hell, I couldn't think of anything a stalker would do that i hasn't already been Done by My brother.

And if Anyone Tried to kill me, well. I honestly feel like maybe I'd just let them.

That was all it took to trigger Something in my brain.
I realised, if I had to keep going like this, suffering alone in Silence; I just couldn't take it anymore.

I wanted to Die.

I wanted to kill myself,

I wanted To drown,

In the sea of

Your pov

My heart practically lept out of my chest, as I climbed The Porch stairs. I jostled the key around the lock for a moment, As the door gently cracks open. My tails sway to in sync with my racing heartbeat

An eerie darkness crept Over the porch, as I stepped inside shutting it behind me.

My thoughts were running a mile a minute. I clicked on the light, and the house was in shambles.
I'm startled by my brothers voice, Jolting my Gaze towards the Hallway in front of The Cellar.
"Where The Hell have you been???!!!!"

Those demonic eyes.
I knew those eyes anywhere.
I knew what was about to happen. "I-I told you I-I had work U-Uh-" I Quickly take off my aprin, grabbing the Wad of Tips I'd managed to scrape together out of the pocket.

I guiltily pressed my ears Back against the sides of my head placing it In his hand. he clenched the money in his palm; "You think you can bribe your way out of this?" He Snarls. I shook my head profusely, before Shakily pointing at the Rent notice On The fridge.

"N-No...R-Remember t-that's the only reason I went in-" he Grabs me by my wrists agressively pinning me to the wall with one hand, and the other; Clenched tightly Onto my jaw To the point to which I felt like My Face was going to shatter.

I flinch At His Overwhelming scowl my ears Twitch; panicked. "It's Cute. The way you Cower away from me So easily." I Fearfully turn away; his face mere inches away from mine.

"I shouldn't have Let you go to that shitty school. But I need you, tell me. Why do you think I've kept you alive this long?" He smiles demonically, a darkness tinting his naturally (b/e/c) orbs.

What was happening to him?
It's like he Was Changing.
His personality, it's Like it's just disintegrated.

His eyes are lifeless.

It's like the Real him has Long gone. Something evil, and dark had taken over his body.

"ANSWER ME BITCH!!!" His Hand connected with My cheek; it cracks across My face. The abrupt force of Agression causes my Skull to real back; coming on contact with the wall behind me. My body is propelled into the floor.

Before I could Get up, he lifts his boot. Feeling The thick heavy plastic Smash into my ribcage repetedly; I bit my lip stifling my squeals.

"You Had This Coming!!!" His voice Rattled around my Brain.
Once he finally came to a halt I slowly Tried Pushing my body up.
Quickly I realised How futile it Truly was; eventually biting my lip that metallic flavor Flooded my Mouth.

Sharp pain lanced throughout my head. Vibrant splots flashed before my Eyes. He clutched Me by the collar, dragging me to the Bathroom, by now my tails were painted with blood. My face was sticky with sweat, and my Work clothes were torn; and saturated.

"Clean yourself Up, And get Ready. I've got plans for you."

I lied still in the floor of the bathroom. The ice cold tiles felt Amazing against my heated face.

I should've forced myself not to pass out during training today. After this, I wasn't going to be able to eat For weeks. Not that I actually wanted to anyway, my insides felt all Twisted.

~ Time skip/ Pov change ~

"(F/n)'s been absent for three days straight- do you think she's Okay??" Uraraka chatters anxiously with deku, who bites The tip of his eraser in response.

Izuku was Overwhelmed with guilt, He was so caught up in training that day; he'd overlooked one of His friends well being.

Katsuki wasn't in Very good shape since that day either, in fact All of class 1A had been on edge. And how could they not be? They Watched their friend collapse to the ground, throwing up blood.

(F/n) was Just so kind, She'd helped uraraka through stuff At home. She can feintly hear her voice like it was yesterday, as she Sobbed into her knees.

After The Sports festival, and her Failure against Katsuki, She Felt vulnerable and weak. While (f/n) had passed with flying colors, Her dearest friend uraraka had failed miserably. She was willing to do anything to make her friend smile again.

"I'm sure Your Mother Loves you with all your heart, no matter what choice you make in life. The best revenge Is a life well lived, so live your life to the fullest!"

Uraraka picks her head Up; speechless. Despite sitting on the school steps, (f/n) wasn't afraid of attacking Her Friend in A hug That Could damn near Melt Glaciers. "T-Thank you (f/n)!" The Sad girl simply Hugs (f/n) back, her Fluffy Ears Aided Uraraka; reassurance Sink in her brain, feeling Her friends warmth spread Around like Wildfire.

(F/n) wasn't only dearest to Uraraka, but to the rest of the class as well. She's Always there for everyone; and she's relieved so many people of Anxiety, helped everyone through their own personal problems; in fact, (f/n) acted As A therapist for class 1A.

She helped kirishima Learn to love himself again, by pointing out that flaw; no one in class 1A would've noticed, but (f/n) could see right through his Fake smiles, and the mask he'd hide behind.

Shes always been there for jirou, Just her pressence alone was inspiring, jirou saw (f/n) as some sort of good luck charm, because Every time They've encountered, she's suddenly overflowing with Ideas For music, As well as inspiration.

When everyone had forgotten mineta's birthday, (f/n) had Baked him a Cake from scratch, She'd even wasted her entire check to buy him a gift; an autographed Photo of Mount, lady.

When Izuku was just a quirkless Kid With dreams of becoming a pro hero, and Absolutely no one Believed in him; (f/n) was there to tell him, that he to could become a hero one day.

" Being A hero isn't just about the quirk you've obtained, it's not about Having the ability to conquer evil with just the swing of a fist, and it's not about being the best of the best. A hero, is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. Deku, you can't Become a hero."

Izuku flashes a cold Stare, Until She placed her hand on his shoulder. "You can't Become a hero, because that's what you already Are." Tears stream Down The boys cheeks, as he stares back at (f/n) speechless.

She Pulls the boy in for a hug, and he Sobs into her chest, It was only then he realised what he was Doing, and a tint of pink crept its way onto his cheeks.

(F/n) helped Sato learn How to make octopus balls, she Helped sero Buy a Valentine's day Present For His Crush, she taught shoji The Power of Mistief, how to take advantage of His abilities, and trick Others during literal hand to hand combat.

She bought tsuyu a geko, after overhearing her conversation with tokoyami, and how hard it Was Getting for her To make friends in this school.

She Helped Bakugo Remodel His Hero suit, since he'd kept blushing When training with her, She Designed The suit Specifically To hide Part of his facial features.

She taught kaminari how to play the pokemon card game, And She conducts mixtures of organic oil For Iida, to help relieve the Tension in his spine from wearing his suit too long. Mina Would always rant to Her when something evidently ticked her off. You wouldn't expect a girl like her to need emotional support, but everybody has their own personal issues.

She helped tokayami face and accept his darkside, she brought Todoroki and his father closer together; one day she just showed up at his house, saying

"Hey shoto!! Look what I bought?"
The candy-cane stares back at the girl bluntly, standing in the doorframe of his home, in the bag were The ingredients to make spicy soba, and brownies. "What's all this for?" The boy purses his lips in slight frustration, the girls ears twitch, but he tails sway; quite possibly because she was just so happy to see him.

"I wanna make dinner for you and your dad Silly!" The boy blushes at (f/n)'s comment. He tried Closing the door in her face, he'd already known what she was trying to accomplish, and unfortunately for him She propped the door open With her foot.

The real reason she was out today, was to steer clear of her brother, but She'd found herself worrying Harshly about Todoroki when she'd spotted his discomfort Earlier in the day.

The girl sighs, "if You let me do this for you, I promise to let you lick the Cake batter when we're done~♡" she beamed a Blinding smile, that almost melted his heart.

He couldn't help but wonder why (f/n) would go through so much just to Make him feel better. No matter, he Swiftly Steps back from the door Holding it open and allowing (f/n) to skip on in.

Somehow she'd even managed to get Todoroki to open up about his life, and rant about his scar; and his Crumby relationship with his dad.

She kindly but sternly dragged endeavor to the table, and forced him to just sit And eat the food that they'd generously prepared. She helped Todoroki talk through his problems With His father.

She'd helped Aoyama, remodel his naval laser, She'd even Replaced it with special coding that prevents over usage of His quirk, and kept him from getting a stomach ache for a much longer time than natural.

She set toru and ojiro up on a date, and banded the Girls of class 1A together To help her get Ready for it. There was already so much tension back then, since the sports festival everyone was on Edge, but Thanks to (f/n), they were able to take their minds Off the Stress. With the power of makeup, (f/n) managed to make Toru practically Visible.

She even did something kind for aizawa. While He was resting on the cott in recovery girls office, She'd gone to visit him. Recognising dark circles around his eyes, she asked if she could take his sleeping bag Home And wash it for him. She'd even Sun-dried it, so it'd provide natural Warmth; and felt like sleeping on a cloud.

It Warmed her Heart To Find Aizawa sleeping Peacefully in His Sleeping bag on the cott the next day. It was almost like The bag itself Somehow Healed Him overnight.

When he was finally back in action teaching class 1A as
per usual; She took notice that Aizawa hadn't been Eating very much, around this time He was just barely recovering From fighting that viscious nomu, since the USJ attack. She Made chicken noodle From scratch, with a home remedy that was sure To help benifet his appetite, As well as allow him to go to bed with a full stomach.

She'd given Koda a Bird whistle; a treasure Her grandmother had given her when she was little; and (f/n) lost Hope of becoming A hero one day. Her grandmother told her to keep it with her at all times, to sing with the birds when she felt alone and scared; and The Musical chirps would guide her Towards her fate.

after koda failed One of the exams, She noticed he'd been awful quiet lately, she Grew genuinely worried about him. She took his feelings under consideration, And in hopes of Helping Him Through The rut he was in; she placed the whistle in his hands, Beaming A bright smile.

"This was my good luck charm; but today it belongs to you." The boy anxiously shakes his head in response. His voice was solemn, and quiet, but she Could hear him just fine. one of the many perks Of Being A kitsune, had to have been the enhanced Senses.

"Y-You can't give me that (l/n)...didn't You say Your grandmother gave this to you?"
The girl shakes her head smiling. "My grandmother wouldnt have wanted me to Pass this to just any existing person. She'd roll over in her grave if I made a choice as stupid as that one."

The boy blushes, but (f/n) wasn't Even finished yet. "But I'm sure she'd be honored to Know this whistle was placed in the hands of someone who needs It more than i do."

She gives the boy a Kind warm hug, which makes him blush cherry red. Her tails sway, and her ears Twitch. She was happy to help a friend in need no matter what.

These memories tainted Everyone's thoughts during class. (F/n) meant the world to alot of people in that class.

"I don't get why you nerds are So worried about her. She's Probably Laying up in bed Like she's on vacation right now." Katsuki Bakugo lied through his Teeth. He was Suprisingly hypocritical considering he's been moping around just like the rest of the class.

Kirishima flashes a Jagged smirk, "You're one to talk. I saw The way you looked at Her when she collapsed." Bakugo Immidiately Slams on the desk; previously laying Back With his feet up.

"I think the fuck not Shitty hair!! I'm tired of her reckless ass, always Putting herself In danger Just to make Every one else smile." He Held a tight scowl, which The bakusquad Smirked bitterly. He Turns to Face them, And their expressions shift; trying to pretend Nothing Happened. "WHAT?!? I'm Stating Facts!!-" Finally Iida Interjects Solemnly.

"Lets Not speak of Our friend Behind her Back like this, I'm sure she's suffered a great deal as it is. We should act in a way that proves We are Reliable friends. She's done Quite alot for everyone over the year she's Attended UA."

Everyone exchanged Weary glances, Aizawa Finally walks in and just like that Class Starts.

(F/n) never left anyone's thoughts. Every now and then Each Student Discussed her whereabouts Under their breathe.

Bakugo clentches his fists slumping over in his seat. He pursed his lips. Where the Hell could She be?! I can't believe Aizawa let her go home With that lunatic-

There was a soft knock at the door, the class Grew silent For a long Period of time. The knock repeated itself, Aizawa Pinched his nose in adgitation, "whoever's closest to the door-" "already on it!!" Sato Kindly Meanders over to the door, in walks a beaming (f/n) which leaves Everyone baffled.

Her smile was so bright.
It was too bright.

Bakugo stares at her dumbfounded, and speechless; unsure of what he should say at all. She wore a (f/c) Flannel, And midnight black Leggings, underneath her regular school uniform. The fact that her uniform was longsleeved; as well as flannel annoyed Bakugo to an extent.

It was like she purposefully wore extra sleeves today, to hide something.

Aizawa Stares at the girl, his eyes just barely seeming shocked as she bowed. "Sorry I'm late!! I-I Took a Shortcut today, And I guess I got lost." She giggled cheerfully scratching her neck. Her Kindness baffles aizawa. He Finds himself responding bluntly, but A lump forms in his Throat At the uneasiness in her smile.

Seeing that Kid Covered in bruises one day, only to find her smiling the next. That just Scares me.

"Care to explain your absence (l/n)?" She nods profusely, Handing him a slip of Paper. He Narrows his eyes, scanning The girls appearance.

I told her not to wear that jacket again. So she turns around and wears a flannel?

"I-I'll just Go take my seat now!" She squeaks Bitterly before scrambling back to her desk.
Aizawa merely nods, trying Not to second guess her Ethics, but Mentally He failed miserably.

Now that she was Suddenly back to her usual cheerful self; like the beginning of the year, He was Beyond concerned.

Something happened to her, these past few days; I'm going to figure out what.

But for now, all he could really do was return To Teaching His lesson, and The Class Seemed as though they were listening intently, But In reality; they were all staring at (f/n) who sat with a Blinding smile, and her hands Folded in her lap.

Bakugo glances at her,
The sun made her Bouncing (h/t) Hair Glow. The Cool air blowing through the vents gently Blew her hair to the side. He just Barely caught a glimpse of a tear, trickling down her cheek Tapping against her hand. She scratches her wrist anxiously staring down.
Her wrist was dark, one of her fingers looked to be broken.

What The Hell happened to her?!?

He Clenched his fists even tighter, eventually snapping the wad of pencils in his hand; right in half. The Plastic cut into his Skin, this caught (f/n)'s attention Immidiately. "K-Katsuki!!!" She hissed. A luminescent glow reveals itself in her eyes As a bright light Engulfs his Tiny wound.

She sighs In relief once the wound Has dispersed from sight. "You should be More careful! Geez!" He couldn't find a way to respond. Not at all. This girl Was willing to waste her energy on him, after he'd lashed out on her; after he treated her like Complete shit.

And she was suffering.

Why wasn't she healing herself???
He wondered. Little did he know, She Really couldn't Not Even if she wanted to. There was a mystery to her powers that even she couldn't fathom.

But she Loved him.
And with that love, she would be willing to do absolutely anything For those she cares about, especially Katsuki.

But what Katsuki didn't know,
Was that She would, Forever feed on,

Your Pov

That night, was probably the worst night I've had in a long time.

I was forced to fight a Nomu in A ring; in front of Dozens of people. After that I was Dragged To the back, men in lab coats tested me, anytime I spoke or Cried; electricity Would surge around my Body.

My tails were singed, it took me four hours straight to comb out the dried blood and soot. I almost killed people last night, innocent people. When The only one who truly deserved death Was Me.

There was a Brightside to the Situation. He gave me three days to rest, but I was locked in the cellar, in the darkness- my only comfort -the echoing choked sobs I'd release When I felt like I couldn't take it anymore.

When he finally let me Out, to wash up in the bathroom; the sight was horrific. My body was hideous; welled and purple. Pieces of flesh would dangle from my skin, Dried blood stuck to my Neck. My (h/l), (h/c) was drenched in blood, so it looked more brownish red rather than its usual crisp Hue of, deafening
(h/c).

I was late to school, I had to stop by the cafe to pick up my paycheck, and I had to buy something new to cover up my wounds, so I strolled through the mall too. I bought midnight black leggings, and a (f/c) flannel. The new uniform I'd ordered was long-sleeved, but as an extra precaution; I had to buy something To Make sure No one would see them this time.

Walking to class; my footsteps reveberated Throughout the Halls.

I Couldn't reveal my weakness, I couldn't show How I truly felt to anyone here. I had to stuff it down somehow. The best way to hide Excruciating pain would have To be with a Bright smile.

So When I knocked on the Door to the classroom, I took a deep breathe, and flashed a bright fake smile; greeting a rather Baffled sato.

As I walked into class, Every one just stared at me. I decided not To question it, And bowed apologetically; explaining my morning to aizawa. He seemed unconvinced Of my Absences Until I Gave him The "doctors note" my brother easily called in a favor, Which Managed to excuse my Absences for the time being.

As I sat in class, Memories flashed before my eyes. I Couldn't help but tear up.

Here I was sitting in a room filled with my peers; but I've never felt So alone, then I Did in that moment.

I Couldn't help but Imagine ways I could end this Horror show of a life. What was the point in going on like this? I have no purpose in this world. All I do is Get in Katsuki's way, why would he Want anything to do with me?

Why would anyone in class 1A want anything to do with me?

I glanced to my right to find Katsuki bitterly Crunching Mechanical pencils In his fists; blood pooled all over the desk,
I hissed at him, and managed to work up just enough energy to heal the wound then and there.

He flashed a look of adgitation.
I Couldn't really understand why. I anxiously scratched My hand, I was careful to keep The fabric of my flannel over the markings on my wrists from the cuffs my brother had placed on me for the last few days.

The Metal wound up rusting from my tears, and It rubbed my skin raw. The pain was excruciating, but I had to hide it.

As soon as the bell rang, katsuki Clutched onto my wrist, and I yelped; as I was Dragged out of The classroom.

When we finally came to a halt, we were behind the school. He held a tight Scowl; that sent chills down my spine.

"Take That shit off now!" He snarled, I flinched at his Voice, which His enraged Look melted Into a guilty one. "W-Why?" I stammered out, suddenly finding My Shoes just a tad bit more interesting than this Overwhelmingly personal conversation I was currently enduring.

"Don't give me that shit!!" He hisses, "You know why!! Show me now!!" I shook my head profusely, "w-Why do you even care?! I-Its not like You'll find anything worth looking at..." the last part of the sentence dissolved into a Mumble, as i pressed my (h/c) ears against my head Sorrowfully.

"JUST SHOW ME!!!" He roars, before forcefully Tearing my flannel off. "K-Katsuki!!" I squealed, but it was too late.
His gaze trails from My Purplish neck, To my Wounded arms. But this time, It looked Worse than before. I was So ashamed of myself.

His crimson Orbs were flaring with rage, I hugged my arms to my chest, hiding my body behind My fluffy (h/c) tails. "He Did this to you Didn't he?!?!" His Voice Was so loud, it shook me To my core.

I shook my head Repetitively. "N-No!! I-I-I..." i just couldn't figure out what to say. And how could I?
If my brother found out Katsuki saw my body, He would Surely End me. Then bring me back to life, just to kill me all over again.

"Don't you fucking dare Deny this (l/n)- for Fuck-sake That Sick Bastard is Hurting You!!" I Could only shake my head, stumbling back. "N-No T-That's Not true!! T-These are training wounds-" he Scowled at that. "Training huh?! Then what the hell are these?!" He Pulls up my shirt, revealing my distorted Figure, My stomach was So wounded, It looked almost like a Giant Hole; there were patches of dried blood, old Bandages That were Deteriorating by now.

His breathes Seemed to have hitched, as he clenched his jaw. I pull away, agressively shoving my shirt back down.

"Back in Class, You healed me. Why the Fuck aren't you healing yourself?" My Gaze falls back to the ground. I rub my arm anxiously. "I can't heal myself, my abilities work organically, in order to heal myself I'd need to obsorb someones chi-"

"Then Take it from me!!"

I stare at him dumbfounded, and he stares back at me intently. "Whatever the fuck that is. Take it from me!! I just...I can't stand To see you like this...I can't Stand to know your Suffering Okay!!!"

He grabs my hand, and forcefully places it on his chest. My cheeks are burning bright pink by now.

I Couldn't tell him the truth, if I told him. And he forced me To obsorb his chi, my wounds could potentially kill him.

I decided To take advantage of this moment, and raked my mind For an excuse. "Katsuki...I-I can't-" "Why the Fuck not?!?!"

"This is something that can only be Done, Through physical contact with another kitsune." I lied through my teeth. He Stares back at me, he seemed Bewildered, and slightly frustrated.

He Takes my other hand, and starts dragging me back into the school, "W-Where are we going??" "We're going to aizawa. I don't know What the hell He's going to do, but it's better than sitting here watching you rott away Like some Walking Corpse-"

I yank my hand from his grasp. "NO!! Nononono Katsuki P-Please don't make me do this-"  "and why the hell not?!? This Isn't a game!!! You could Seriously Fucking die!!!"

"I-I..." I Couldn't figure out how to speak. Why was this happening to me right now???

"You got Nothing Else to say?" He presses. I sigh in defeat, my arms falling at my side's.

He scoffed, before turning To walk away. "If You're not gonna tell him; fine!!! but I'm not just gonna stand Here-" Tears Burst from my eyes, I try hiding them with my hands but I fail epically.
"Come on seriously?? Stop Fucking crying!! I-"

throwing my arms around him from behind, I Dig my feet Into The ground, using all my weight to try and stop him, but I slowly wound up sinking. "What The Hell are you trying to accomplish??" He griped.

Ignoring his statement I Rush in front of him, Trying to push him back, but My feet just slide against the gravel.

I then throw my arms Around him.

"PLEASE DON'T TELL AIZAWA KATSUKI I'M BEGGING YOU!!! I'LL DO ANYTHING-" I sank to the Ground, eventually Hugging His waste rather than His Chest like normal people. I stared Up at him longfully, my previously twitching ears now Flattened against my head. He Stares back down at me, mentally pittying My Messy eyes and Snotty Nose.

"PLEASE KATSUKI!!!!!!" I Whaled into his Stomach; before mufling my voice with the fabric of his shirt. He finally sighs in defeat.
"FINE OKAY?! STOP FUCKING CRYING!! YOU'RE DRIVING ME INSANE!!!"

My racing heart finally slows down. I sniffle, rubbing My Eyes. He Glares back at me. "Will you at least tell me why???"

I Looked up at him. I anxiously play with the tips of my hair.
"H-He..." I trailed off, I didn't really know if it'd be a good idea to tell him or not. But i trusted him more than i trusted anyone in that moment. "Come on Fucking spill it already!!!!"

"H-He knows what happened to my parents!!!" His crimson Orbs were Deafening. He was the imbodiment Of Someone I've Always wanted to be. Someone strong enough to conquer anything. It was one of the Things i loved most about him.

"Your..parents??" He responded Baffled. "I-I know That I'm suffering katsuki...but.."

I take a deep breathe, before Finally answering. This was the truth.

"I don't care!!!" I squeek.
"Everyday I wake up, I'm told I'm the reason they died!! I-I can't help but Feel like it's true!!!"

"I Have to know what happened to them!!! I-I JUST HAVE TO!!!"

"I C-Can't die without knowing. Did I kill them?? Did he kill them....or...are they still alive???"

"I'LL SUFFER I'LL BLEED I'LL CRY AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE- I'M WILLING TO DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!!!"

"A-And if I'm the reason they're gone...." My breathes hitch as I speak. "I-If Im the one Who killed them......"

"Than This Life, is something I deserve."

It seemed almost as though my words had Impaled him. He Clenched his hands Into fists, grinding his Teeth together. He seemed lost in thought.

We were both startled by the Sound Of the bell.

He grabs my hand before I manage to scramble off. "At least let me show you how to protect yourself." I stare back at him in shock. "You...You'd really do that..for me??"

He purses his lips, Rolling his eyes in annoyance. "Yeah Dunceface!! I said it didn't i? Shit!!-"

I quickly embrace him with the warmest hug, I possibly could. His arms remain elevated for a while, as I nuzzled into his chest Tearfully. "Katsuki you're the best person in this Universe!!" I squeek. He scoffed, a tint of pink creeping over his cheeks. "Damn right I am." He muttered under his breath, but of course I heard it.

His lips ever so slightly twitched into a smile, As he Dropped his arms around me, Rustling his Fingers Through my hair. Realising how Soft My ears were seemed to Have Made Him blush a little bit harder.

The last ball rang, which meant we were both definitely late to our next class. We hurried off into the school, not exactly running. He kept Looking at me Like I was some Sort of porcelain doll, and I was going to Shatter my bones if I took to many steps at once.

He would scowl and pretend he wasn't staring at Me , but I knew he Was. And that Made me feel good. My crush and I were Actually friends. I never thought my life would Come to this.

But I felt deep down, there were hidden truths to the way he felt about me.

After all,

Chapter Text

Your Pov

I didn't go to the cafeteria For lunch today, I just sat in the bathroom. I Couldn't stop thinking about Katsuki, and what he said.
Would he really keep my secret??

I knew I should have faith in him, and trust him. But if he tells anybody, my Brother Would make me suffer. I was afraid of the future, But I was even more afraid Of my brother.

My Stomach growls viciously. I was starving, but I knew if I ate anything it wouldn't stay down, my stomach was getting worse, and I've started Having breathing Problems. Each breathe I took, sounded Almost as though I were wheezing. I had to take slow breathes, but it was Hard; I felt like I wasn't getting enough oxygen, and I'd start frantically inhaling And exhaling.

The final bell startled me. Realising I was surely late, I grabbed my bag; bolting Out of the bathroom.

I kept dozing off during class. It was barely scraping the end of seventh period. I was just so tired, I haven't gotten any sleep lately, I was just so scared of the dark; I couldn't stand being locked away in that cellar.

Every time I closed my eyes, and My surroundings were shrouded in darkness I'd frantically Force them open.

Even the mindnumming darkness of simply closing my eyes; that was just too much. I felt someone tap on my left shoulder. I yelped anxiously, whirling my head over to A certain pair of multicolored orbs.

"Your pen. You dropped it." He Held out my Pencil, my gaze wavered from Him to my desk, I Scrathed my neck sheepishly; flashing a fake smile. "O-Oh, thanks so much haha I'm such an airhead."

I Take my Pen back, before Staring back down At the work on my Desk. As I was Writing, I started Dozing Off Again.

"(L/n)? Are..you okay?" His Voice Was monotone, yet it shocked me to say the least. He's always so quiet, I was Surprised he'd actually talked, even if he was talking to me.

"U-Uh, N-No I'm fine." I responded laughing anxiously, he quirked an eyebrow, glancing towards the work on my Desk. It was only then I realised I'd written on my Hand, my eyes grow wide; I felt my cheeks burn, "S-Sorry!" I squeaked.

"Why are you apologising?" I swollow back the lump in my throat, "I-I don't know-" I was interupted by Aizawa's icy glare, from his desk. I Whirl my gaze back to my desk, and Immidiately start Picking up The pace on my Work.

I could feel both Todoroki, and Katsuki's prying gaze practically burning my spine. I felt like my head was going to explode.

Bakugo's Pov

Did my help really mean that much to her? Katsuki Bakugo, had no clue what else to think about. He'd try shaking (f/n) from his mind, by Concentrating On school work, And training. But no matter what, His thoughts Always seemed to linger Towards her.

It relieved him to see her smile like She did; although he'd never admit it out loud- At least not to anyone accept her - He couldn't fathom the fact that He Actually Made her Smile.

Just like how he couldn't fathom How Nice she was to everyone, when she puts up with so much at home.

During class he Found his gaze wavering From Aizawa to her. Oblivious to his Gaze, she anxiously plays with her Gorgeous (h/c) Hair.

He couldn't avert his eyes, She was beautiful.

What The Hell am I Thinking?

(F/n) senses his gaze, and glances over to him; he Swiftly Turns away. He tried to make it seem like he wasn't staring Even though he really was, she Was shocked to find A Subtle tint of pink on His Cheeks.

He then glares at her, "what the hell are you looking at??" She nervously looks away, "S-Sorry..I thought...I'll just..get back to work." She frantically starts jotting down notes.

When she Starts dozing off, he finds himself scoffing. Why the hell is she so fucking tired all the time?

Her Pen rolls over The edge of her desk. He Scowls at Todoroki, who smirks Picking it up and handing it to her.

She starts Taking more notes down. Bakugo heaves a sigh, before he had the chance to ease up, He Noticed her obliviously Writing over her hand.

Todoroki points That out, and Her cheeks Flush a bright shade of pink. Her blush was Just Too adorable for Katsuki to overlook.

This girl. Is going to be the death
of me.

Your Pov

When the last bell rang, I was Caught amidst A pair of booming voices on either side of my desk, both my hands were grabbed, And my ears flinched at their Voices.
"I'm Walking you Home!!"

apparently both Todoroki and Katsuki, wanted to walk me home today. This was really Weird.
They exchanged flaming glances, And started arguing about something. I took That Moment to Scramble Out of The classroom, as fast as possible.

On my way home from school, I kept my eyes on the ground; focusing on Staying awake while I walked. On the brightside i didnt have to go into work tonight, or tomorrow, but that just meant I was going to get thrown in the cellar all afternoon. I shuddered thinking about Being in the dark room, with only my thoughts to comfort me.

Hearing a familiar voice In the distance, I turn to find both Uraraka and Izuku Running to catch up with me. Once they came to a halt, she Elbows Him. I tilt my head in curiosity. "U-U-Uh, H-Hey (f/n) I-I was j-just wondering if M-maybe I-I'd like to study w-with you-I-I MEAN Y-You'd like to S-Study W-With M-Me- US I-I meant Us-" rolling her eyes, Uraraka let's out a groan. "What Deku was Trying to say was-" "YES!" I squeaked. "R-Really?!" She retorted, Shocked.

I anxiously throw my hands over my mouth, before sighing in embarrassment, "I-I mean Yes, If Y-You guys wouldn't mind Having me-" I was just looking for an excuse not to have to go home. I was so much more afraid of the dark than I was Of socialising, that was For sure.

Uraraka Flashes a bright smile, and so does Izuku. "Alright then! Let's go!!" She Pumps her fist, which Made me smile. Although I couldnt Help but wonder, "U-Uh, where are we going to study?" Both of them Exchange glances before looking over to me. "M-My House is definitely off limits, M-My brother can be a bit T-Territorial at times..." I trailed off.
We look over to izuku who blushes, "W-Wait M-Maybe not my house either-" he stammers. Uraraka finally sighs in defeat, with that we all Go to her House to study.

It was hard for us actually getting passed the door. Uraraka's father bombarded Izuku with questions, and he seemed to strike Fear into poor Izuku's heart. I Couldn't blame him for being afraid. I'm always afraid, of everyone. And everything.

I was afraid of being in her room in that moment, I was afraid of going home. I was afraid of what Katsuki had in store For Me; claiming he'd teach me to protect myself. I was afraid of my quirk, afraid of school, afraid of Aizawa-

"(L/n), You still with us??" I was pulled back into reality, by Uraraka; snapping her fingers. My right ear twitched at the sound. "Y-Yeah sorry...I guess I spaced." spaces smiled scratching the back of my neck anxiously.

"Where'd you get that necklace from?" She asks, I felt my heart Sink. "U-Uh-" I raked my brain For a response but couldn't figure out what to say. "That doesn't look Like a...." izuku Stared at me Anxiously, pursing his lips.

Crap, I forgot I was even wearing that thing, but I couldn't take it off. Finally I figured something out, "HOT TOPIC!" I squeaked, "I-Its from hot topic. " I trailed off, she flashed a worried look. "Woah, hey what happened there?" She points towards The bruising around my neck. I rushed to my feet. "W-Would you look at the time! Better get home before cerfew!-" they flashed disappointed glances, "but it's only seven! Do you really have to go already??"

I nod profusely, Offering a Warm smile. I thought about my Current state, I didn't know what was going to happen to me tonight. If I'd wake up tomorrow or not.

I decided to take advantage of this momemt, and gave Uraraka a Warm hug. "Thank you so much for Everything." She beamed, "Don't mention it (l/n)..but are you sure you're going to be okay walking home alone??"

I nodded, before scooping Izuku into a Warm hug too, "thanks so much for Inviting me Deku, You're truly Kind-" his face burns bright red, "Y-Your welcome!" He squeaked.

They were both Smiling, that's all I could really ask if them. I loved my friends, I loved every single one of them. On my way home I couldn't help my Coursing thoughts.

It was dark out here, I hated the dark. If my brother hadn't Smashed my phone I could use it as a flashlight, but I had nothing else. Until Something dawned on me. Right. Fox-fire

I held out my hand, it's Enjulfed in a Shimmering blue Flame, it made me feel safe. Secure. Calm.
These abilities Have caused nothing but trouble in my life, but in this moment I felt almost as though I genuinely liked my quirk.

My heart raked against my chest, as I Dragged myself up The steps.
As i jostled the key around; the Door opens. The lights were all on, and there was a group of men in my home. Their scent held familiarity, They were (b/n)'s acquaintances.

I scanned the room, eventually settling my gaze on my brother, stalking over to me. He grabs my tail, "what about kitsune fur?" He says bitterly, turning To them.
I could only assume I must have walked in, amidst a conversation I didn't quite understand.

The chattering men, silenced. One With a beard flashes my brother A shocked look. "Kitsune fur is Worth a fortune on the deep-web- it contains Healing Properties, That are Technically considered illegal to this day. My brother rolls his eyes. "How much are you shits willing to pay?" Before I knew it, everyone was raging, my ears flinched at their Loud voices. They were shouting price after price, unsure of what was happening I hugged my tails to my chest.

He pops me in the mouth, Grabbing me by the hair. "This is what happens When you're late." His murmur Was solemn, yet struck fear into my Waking soul, suddenly realising what was about to happen.

He Drags me to the cellar, and chains me to the wall, leaving me in the darkness for a good long hour.

When he Returns; he yanks open the door. I couldn't see his face; merely a silhouette of his form, and an axe Clenched in his hand I started squealing.

I've never been so

Chapter Text

I had no clue what time it was; I'd stayed up all night crying. I was curled up in a ball against The thick metal wall; my clothes were saturated in blood. Like always.

Only this time, I'm short a limb. Or tail. All three of them for that matter. Of course I knew they'd grow back but...

I Couldn't believe what he'd done to me.

I was so lost in my own fear, I just couldn't close my eyes. I Couldn't stop quivering.

When he finally yanked the door open to drag me Upstairs and get ready for school, The darkness Tainted my vision. Despite This I wrapped my Tail nubs in bandages, and hid the spot by sewing up the hole with My Claws and lose strands of fabric. I Wore dark Leggings yet again underneath my uniform, but this time I was wearing a simple Grey jacket, over it. My flannel was covered in blood, so I Couldn't reuse that.

All morning My Sight was blurry, I could only assume maybe being in the dark so much was affecting my eyesight; so I had to concentrate On the path in front of me. Unless I Wanna die; I guess I could just walk into traffic.

On my way to school, I stared at the rushing traffic at the brink of the side-walk. My Gaze Wavered from The Padestrian-walking symbol on the pole Holding the Stoplights; back over to the cars as they thrashed about violently
I Couldn't see The world in front of me, but I could smell the smoke of the car engines, and I could hear people Laying on their horns in frustration.

My breathes hitched, as I stood there. I closed my eyes for a brief moment, imagining what it would be like to rest in piece.

My feet move, before My brain had the chance to.

I was startled when I felt A hand on my shoulder.

"What The Hell is wrong with you? Are You seriously that Fucking air-headed?!" I turn to face katsuki's flairing Crimson red orbs.

I frantically glance from him to the traffic. "I-I U-Uh, W-What are you doing here? You don't live around here-"  "I came To walk you to school dipshit!! You ditched me yesterday!!" His gaze Trails Around me. "What The hell? Something's different about you..."

He pinches his chin. I anxiously scratched My head. "I-I don't know what you're talking about Haha, This is how I usually look."
He sighs bitterly. "Yeah whatever. I'll figure that shit out later."

I could feel him staring at Me the entire walk. I was still so shakey from last night, And His staring only made me more and more anxious. I tried releaving The Tension by talking, "You didn't have to walk me To school you know...I'm sure your friends miss you." I let my ears fall back.

He scoffed throwing his arms behind his head. "It's whatever. I can see those extras anytime I feel like it."

I sigh in defeat. Flashing a look of gratitude. "Well...thank you Katsuki." he looks Surprised at first, but Tisks. "Yeah Yeah. Don't Mention it tails. Literally." I only nod, mentally rolling my eyes.

When we finally got to school, we parted ways; retreating to our separate squads. I was greeted by uraraka, Throwing her arm around me.

"Look At you! Flirting With Bakugo!!" I felt myself Burn bright pink. "F-FLIRTING?! NO!!-" I shook my head frantically, and she merely chuckled. "Relax (f/n)!
I was Just teasing- Hey you look different today."

She stares at me for A while. I smile Anxiously, my Wide grin Would probably look creepy at this point. I was trying to pretend I was fine; not cosplay as Jeff the freaking killer.

She eventually shrugs, and I sigh in relief.

My eyesight was getting worse. I Couldn't figure out what was wrong, but I had trouble seeing things very well. It was like Everything was dark; all I could see Was Their shadow.

I kept my head down throughout class, but I could tell I was frustrating Aizawa.

He pulled me aside after class which shocked me. This could've been valuble nap time for him, yet instead He was wasting His break on me.

"First things first, there's something different about you today." I could feel his prying gaze settle on me for a moment, as my Heart raked against my chest; the anticipation was murder on my Coursing thoughts.

"A haircut?" He trails of, I nod the images of the previous night playing in my mind like a movie.
My brother ruthlessly, Sinking The blade Of that rusty old Axe Into My flesh. The Feeling Of Blood tainted with Rust particles; stinging my eyes. I heave a shakey breathe, scratching my neck anxiously. "Y-Yeah, something like that...." i assume he just nodded in response.

"Anyways....(L/n), your grades are Perfect, you almost never talk. But if You're not actually Paying attention during combat training-"  He pauses, I swollow back the lump in my throat. "Are you even listening to me??" I nodded frantically. "Uhh, I'm Over here."

My nose twitches, I realised I must have been staring at The spot he'd usually slept in, expecting him to be there, since I'd smelled him in that direction.

I whirl my head to the side, "No not there. That's the desk-" I rub my eyes, hoping maybe my sight would get better, but it Was worse.

"(F/n), how many fingers am I holding up?" My thoughts fly all over the place as I narrow my eyes, as if that'd help. when it didn't work, I just take a guess. "Uhh, two??"  He sighs. "I'm not holding up any fingers."

"YOU'RE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT ME THAT'S THE-" I hear him sigh in frustration. "Just. Come with me." A silhouette of An arm Slips into view, And instinctively I flinch.

"I'm not going to hurt you. Just Take my hand. I'm taking you to recovery girl." I shook my head, "NO! S-She'll call my brother- I-If I promise to pay attention, c-can I please stay??" I Couldn't Scan His expression, to see if he was upset. But I sensed ease.

"How are you going to pay attention if you can't see anything??" He pauses. I Could feel him gazing at me intently. "I-I Have Other senses!! I-I couldn't see You because, Well...you usually sleep over there."

I pointed towards The scent before continuing, "but I also smelled you From over there, so I was confused.."

He sighs. Maybe he genuinely understood? I didn't know.
Not until he finally responded.
"Fine. But if continue Spacing out during class, I'm taking you Straight to recovery girl." I nod frantically before bowing. "I Promise you Won't regret This!!"

I turn to bolt out of the room,
Only to ram head first into the door. I hear him sigh, muttering a soft. "i already do." As I rush out the door Bitterly holding the spot on my forehead.

Lunch passed by swiftly. I spent that time Throwing up in the bathroom. My insides felt like they were melting.

On my way to my next class I was Halted by Iida, "(l/n)! What have I told you about Falling asleep while your feet are moving?!"
I chuckled anxiously. "That it's bad and I shouldn't be doing it.

"Miss (l/n), I am Not over there." I feel him placing his hands on my shoulders, probably looking me directly in the eye. "Should I be concerned?" His booming force Startled me. I shook my head frantically, "N-No!" I squeak.
"Good! Now start sleeping at night, like you're supposed to!" I nod, and he pats me on the back.

Katsuki walked me Home.
I was silent at first, honestly because i was Afraid to go home at this point. Feeling him stare at me, I formed a lump in my throat.

"Why Aren't you Fucking saying anything?" He griped, I smiled sheepishly, "S-Sorry I guess I spaced." I Couldn't see his Face, but I assumed he held a tight scowl, I could sense His adgitation. "Oh yeah. And I'm guessing that's why Sensei chewed you out earlier. Huh?"

I only nod, keeping my gaze on the ground. "Look Me in the Fucking eyes when I'm talking to you Tails!" I lifted my gaze up, I looked towards Where his scent came from, or at least I tried To. Instead I found my gaze being Anchored towards the smell of hotdogs.

I felt my Stomach growl viciously.

The ultimate betrayal. My own stomach.

"You're hungry huh?"
I shook my head, "No, I'm fine. Let's just go." I Beamed a smile in reassurance. Hoping maybe He'd brush it off, but He grips my hand. "Come on Dipshit, I'm Getting you food And you're eating it."

Ugh what did I drag myself into.

I Loved Katsuki. But I couldn't help the Feeling that bubbled within my chest; it flurished when he was around.

Maybe it was my crush on him.
Or maybe I was,

Still Blinded,

Chapter Text

I'd have felt to guilty If he wasted money on me like that for nothing, so I forced myself To eat.
I was so nauseas on The way home. Noticing My Change in pace, he turns me to Face him.

"Shit tails, You don't look so good-"
I shake my head, "pfft, I'm fine. It's just been a really long day-"
He seemed unconvinced, but didn't really pry.

I kept walking into the street oblivious to my surroundings. I'd feel him Clench onto my shirt pulling me back. "Are You  Trying To get yourself Killed?!" He'd roar at me, only to find that I've managed to loiter onto another Busy street; assuming There'd be A cross walk. He grabbed me by the arm. "Are you Fucking blind?!" He'd snarl. I ended up walking into a Pole. My ears twitched at the sound of him Face-palming. "Seriously?!?"

Throughout this entire walk, I Kept a bright smile. It was only just now He'd actually pointed it out.  "Why the Fuck are you Always smiling? Don't you ever get Tired?"

I shook my head, before looking up at the sky. Or at least, my version of it. It was gloomy, shadowy and different from yesterday. But It was still beautiful. Viewing it from a shadow in the dark perspective added An edgy vibe to the way the clouds would lurk around the sky.

"When I was a child, before my grandmother passed away, she'd told me to keep smiling, even through tough and painful times. Even if I had to force myself to do it." I sigh. "Flashing a smile seems to lend other people the strength That I Wish I had. She told me I wouldn't understand Any of that Until Later on in life. I guess she was right. I'm pretty dumb huh? Haha!" I scratch the back of my head sheepishly chuckling. He stayed silent for a while which worried me.

When we finally halted in front of my house, A gave him a bright smile. I didn't know what was going to happen tonight. Or if I'd wake up tomorrow.

I cherished Katsuki, just Like I cherished all of my friends at UA.
I Couldn't bare dying Without letting him know That i cared About him.

"I know it doesn't seem like it...But...I appriciate All that You've Done for me Katsuki." My smile was Warm. I could Feel my nurturing warmth spread to the tips of my fingers, as I pressed my hand against his chest. I Couldn't see him very well, but I knew he Was there. That's all that mattered.

He scoffed, "Well, someone's Gotta be there to make sure you don't Fucking Kill yourself." I giggled at that, Gently pressing my lips against his cheek. I waved at him, as I climbed My Steps. I wished My Eyes would allow me to see His Gorgeous Ruby Red eyes.

Every day is a death wish for me.
If Today Is my last, I want to See him. I want to See my friends, I want to Picture their smiling faces In the afterlife; and rest because I know That I could actually make someone smile.

My fantasies Were Interupted, the moment I jostled The key around my Door; closing it behind me.

I turn to Face My demonic Brother, Who'd been waiting For me in the kitchen. it felt like my Heart Was going to explode, the fear sank into my veins, and I felt like I was going to lose my mind over the anticipation of waiting for him To do something to me.

Bakugo's Pov

What The Hell is with her today?
Katsuki bakugo stares At (f/n), as she kept a Warm smile Walking right next to him.

He could so easily tell She was hiding something, She was sweating. Her eyes were Rolling all over the place, Her natural (f/c) skin flushed A pale green.

He sighs, "Shit tails..You don't look so good." He points out, placing his hands on her shoulders.
She wasn't looking at him directly. He found that odd, but didn't really ask. "Pfft, I'm fine. It's just been a really long day." She responded Bashfully.

Bullshit. He mentally groaned at her, as She continued Walking.
She obliviously waltz into the street, which adgitated him to an extent. How the hell is this girl Still alive?? He'd ask himself repeatedly.

She'd keep her gaze on the ground, smiling warmly Like she always does. Her smile was infuriating to him. She was so beautiful, but he Just couldn't Figure out why she was always Smiling, when it was obvious she wasn't happy.

How could she smile?

Eventually he Blurts out, "Why the fuck are you Always smiling? Don't you ever Get tired?" She didn't seem at all offended by His Question. Most people would've reacted alot differently. Her response was genuine, and Definitely intriguing.

"When I was a child, before my grandmother passed away, she'd told me to keep smiling, even through tough and painful times. Even if I had to force myself to do it."

She sighs bitterly. "Flashing a smile seems to lend other people the strength That I Wish I had. She told me I wouldn't understand Any of that Until Later on in life. I guess she was right. I'm pretty dumb huh? Haha!" Bakugo responded By Shrugging his Hands back into his pockets.

He lost himself thinking about That statement. How did Someone like her End up In a school Like this? He knew Damn sure, people would take advantage of That Soon.

Unless, they already have.

He couldn't fathom How she'd put up with him this long. He'd spat venemous Insults her way throughout the school year; she'd only respond by saying, "Yeah You're Probably right, haha. I'm so Stupid sometimes." Or
"Well That's okay. I Won't judge you for Being honest."

Before he knew it, they were Finally in front of her Home.
Now was the only chance he had. He wanted to Storm into her house, and destroy that Sadistic brother Of (f/n)'s for laying a finger on her.

But then he remembered his promise.

He was already considered A Villain in the eyes Of most of the public. He didn't want her to see him like that. But at the same time, it wouldn't matter how She felt about him so long as he saved her life.

He thought about that for a moment, before he's interrupted by the Sound Of Her kind Voice, as she smiles Up at him.

She wasn't looking directly into his eyes. Staring down at her, it looked almost as though her naturally glossed (e/c) orbs Were turning White. Something was wrong with her Eyes, he couldn't figure out what.

"I know it doesn't seem like it...But...I appriciate All that You've Done for me Katsuki." His heart would throb. Her smile Was Calming, and Her Touch Was Warm. as she placed her hand on his Chest, He Purses his lips Anxiously. He looked like he was angry, but he was actually confused.

He felt like He didn't Deserve the words she spoke. All he did was walk her home, But It seemed like it meant alot to her.

"Well, someone's Gotta be there to make sure you don't Fucking Kill yourself." He Grumbled in response. She giggled at that, Her Laugh was Adorable. His Confused expression was replaced With a look of Shock, as she pressed her lips Against His Cheek.

His Face was burning red, as he watched her retreat inside, offering a final Wave.

It was only then he Finally noticed, After checking her out.
"What The Fuck happened to Her tails??"

He Decided it'd be best to wait until tomorrow to ask, but he couldn't Let himself walk home just yet.

So many different things could've happened. That must have been Why She looked so different.
Maybe she was hiding them? But she never does that at least not around me.

Why can't I stop Thinking about her Fuck!! She's distracting me. I'm never going to be number one. Not if I keep Letting myself think about her. What The Hell Is wrong with me??

He couldn't stop thinking about her. Not even if he tried.

He finally stocks away, Catching the last subway home.

Your Pov

I was locked away In the cellar as per usual. I had no time to  mentally prepare myself before enduring the long Night I had ahead of me.

I found My ears flickering Anxiously as Whispers Could be heard outside the door.

It creaks open. I heard (b/n) mumbling, "She's yours for the night, but don't kill her unless you Plan on Paying for her." In stumbled a man chuckling darkly. He smelt like alcohol, And I sensed something Evil Radiating off him.

The door closes. I feel my Heart Sinking In my chest, feeling My Arms Suddenly Being restrained.
I started hyperventilating, Feeling him Pin me Down. "You better shut the hell up, or I'll make it hurt."

I thrashed around, Screaming my brothers name.

He was Touching me

I felt horrible, I felt disgusting. I was ashamed of myself. Ashamed of the way my voice Would crack While I tried shouting for my brothers mercy.

For anyone to Help.

But no one came.

I was left To suffer,

helplessly, Alone.

Chapter Text

Your pov

Damage doesn't stop at one person, it rolls down generations. It's an emotional tornado that ruins lives yet to be called into existence.

The memory of that night flooded my mind like water rushing into a sinking ship. In my nights (b/n) was a monster and during the day he was the same. There are times I can't tell the nightmare of my reality from the fiction of my nightmares.

They say a bad parent was a traumatised child caught in the fires of their own suffering, their thoughts more hurricane than poetry or soul -At least in my case, technically This refered to my brother- but I guess that's right.

In that exists a road to forgive, a way to see the bigger picture and move on with your own soul intact, head held high. When we see it we can learn to heal, learn to love anew and be a person we approve of in a way that is deep and calm.

Then we can become the good parents and start a new cycle that is loving and healthy, plant a good seed in the rotten wood and watch the new spring growth.

I'm not so sure how long what lies ahead of Me, but after The pain I've endured; I wanted to kill myself.

And I felt like I deserved it too.

But I also felt Like this was a bit of a learning experience for me, one day. Maybe one day, I'll have children of my own; and I'll make sure they feel equal, I'll raise them Happily. I'll be the shoulder they need to cry on, the kind of mother who kisses boo-Boo's and helps them through their darkness.

The Sad part About The entire Situation, was the Fact; that just before I left for school, I looked up at my brothers cold Lifeless orbs, and smiled warmly.

"I Forgive you, (b/n)."

For just A split second; in fact Not even A mili-second, I Noticed a tint of resentment within his gaze. He stood Silent In the kitchen, didn't bother responding to me.

I wore The usual uniform today, Since the beginning of the week; I felt like Aizawa Has kept His eye on my wardrobe. Being the only one In the school wearing A heavy ass jacket Was one thing, but My black joggers; were an entirely Different story.

Yeah, Don't You Go thinking He'd forgotten about that, He actually pointed that Out The other day After class. I needed to Be more careful about what I wore, and I needed to come up with a hero Costume with Flexible Fabric.

I haven't entirely mastered my Quirk, But around This age I'm Sure I've finally gained the ability To shapeshift, I just haven't Tested it out just yet.

I'd put on Extra Makeup today, I blacked out last night; so apparently I had more wounds than i anticipated. I Was Thankful for That honestly; I couldn't bare the memory of what Truly happened last night. The Thought of what happened As soon as That Door closed- and I was met by Pitch darkness -well, it just makes me nauseous.

Speaking Of that, My Stomach felt like It was churning, on my way to school with Katsuki. He's been walking me to and from school lately. Todoroki Once offered to walk me Home, but it was the day after I helped him.

I didn't want to be his charity, I didn't want him to think he had to help me just because I helped him. So I Declined, Claiming I had plans with my Brother After school; which was Partially true.

I'd rather not go Into that night. It's almost every night, that I'm suffering; it's Rare I Get To Ease my Nerves by doing Things For myself After school, I don't really include Work In The 'relief category' so to speak; I honestly hate having to push myself into public.

Yet with this Money- this Key -holds the Power of bribery. Back before things actually Between us escalated, I'd Work, And support his Habits; and I keep us From being thrown in the street.

If I were eighteen, I could Do much more than This; but For now, my Solid ¥ 64,964.40 yen every Other Week From the cafe, and the occasional Tip; being a fox-girl In a maid cafe, I attract alot of unexpected attention.

These Girls once walked up to me And Started giggling. Then they asked if I was a Clothes-player or something, and Then they asked for Selfies With me.

I Could hide The occasional Bruise here and there; just fine back then. When I tried Firing against him; escaping This life He was Forcing onto me. He turned himself into a demon.

It's like, I can't even see my brother anymore, all I see is this monster; this monster That stole my Older brother from me. And I want him back, I want him back so bad. It's like he's dropped off the face of the earth-

oh crap My mouth is wattering.

Shit.

I Scan the Area for the nearest Trash can, My nose twitches, and Like that I Followed the Scent; hurling Into the damned thing Like my life depended on it.

Katsuki leaned against the wall of the alleyway. When I'm finished, I turn to apolagise. "Don't you fucking think about it!" He Snarled, I feel Something Touch the tip of my finger, I look down and study it.

I Couldn't really see it very well, but It Smelt like peppermint.

It was gum~♡

I Nom the candy, Only to feel him swipe me In the Head With the box, "You Were Supposed to Take it Out of The God Damn rapper first Dipshit!!!" My ears twitch, I only smile Back.

"Really? It Honestly doesn't taste any different." I Smiled, I hear him scoff. "fucking weirdo." I only smirked back, "Why thank you." I could almost feel him rolling his eyes. I feel my tail stub start wagging, God it must have looked so weird from behind.

Crap. Okay, Okay calm down (f/n) get it together- okay maybe just peek, and see if he was looking-
I'm sure he wouldn't really-

He's staring at me.

Please Don't Ask me anything-

"Hey what the hell is that?" I Felt My Heart Drop in my chest, It was only then I realised he was pointing at my Collar.

Thank fuck.

"U-Uhh." What was the last excuse I used??? That's right, "A-A necklace From hot topic Haha you like it??" He Narrows his eyes, studying it closer.

Why didn't I just put concealer there?!?!

"HEY LOOK AT THE TIME OH WELL LOOKS LIKE CLASS IS STARTING SOON WE BETTER HURRY!!!" I grab his hand, hastily dragging him To school.

My first few classes seemed to have dragged on. Eventually though, I needed to Let up on this charade.

As soon as the lunch bell rang
I Scrambled behind the school, and pull out my journal.
Drawings of my home. My grandmother, my dog. There were pictures of Flowers, Pictures I've drawn of my brother.

I Brushed my fingertips over the paper, and start crying. It started Off feeble, and weak.

But then, i Felt my lips tremble. The sound Of My grandmother's voice rang in my Ears. My grandmother was My first, and only friend. When she passed away, a piece of Me Left this world along with her.

There were so many pictures of her that I'd drawn, Pictures of my hole family, before It was torn At the Seems.

I was so confused, and Scared. I just Kept crying, and crying. I Stifled The sound with my hand. I feel someone's pressence. I grow anxious, but They smelled different.

They sit down next to me.
"Wanna Listen too?" Her voice was calm and monotone. It's jiro? I only nod profusely, quickly Rubbing my Eyes with Journal paper. "You don't Really have To pretend Anymore, you know."

My heart Raked against my chest.
"So. What Happened To your b...."
"My tail?" I scoffed, sniffling. .
"Yeah. That's what I was Going to say." She teased. "Oh my...boyfr- Wait we're only friends. I've had A crush on him since Grade School, I doubt he'd want anything to do with me." I sigh.

"And your tail?" She adds. My breathes hitch. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I eased up at that. "Really??" She nods. I Smiled, "thank you..."
"On another note, more Half the class Is technically Shipping you To Right about now. So..."

"Ship??" I Scratch my head sheepishly. "We're to young to Go overseas-" she Facepalms.
"(L/n) What Year Are You in right now?" It took me a minute to think about it.

"Uhh, no one Knows Really Because Analysing Anime Logical time sequences Really Messes with the Reader's OCD." She nods her head to the side, convinced. "Hmm. Good point."

"So, Where you from?" I ponder her question for a moment. "Well, I'm from (y/h/s), but I'm from a Small village called (y/v/n)." She taps her Earjacks against each other thoughtfully. "I think I've heard Of that Place somewhere before." I smile warmly. "My home is A place Unforgettable. I Often realise Just how much I took Being in my Home for-granted."

"What Was your home like? This is honestly the farthest you and I have Actually gotten to since you helped me that day."

I smile, My senses Were Sending Chills down my spine, but I knew It'd be okay, because I wasn't alone.

"My home was Beautiful...It was filled with Creaks and ponds, The Most Beautiful meadow. Our crops were so rich, people would travel across the world just to Buy them. And the flowers...there were So many. I loved every Flower Out there, from the tiniest weed To the Tallest rose-bush." I loved talking about my home. I missed it so much. I missed the way I felt as I'd Run Across the meadow with my Brother.

"during The spring When it rained; my Grandmothers buttercups became gold. our grass was so rich; with the shade of every dreamers meadow."

"There were these special porches, that linked Everyone's homes together, they'd rise farther in the sky than the trees, there was A Jaw dropping Meadow, just minutes away from our village, but it was considered our Territory; our village's elder Claimed it to be."

I smile, staring down. "My dream is to Show Katsuki." She Stares at me For a moment. "Wait...You mean Bakugo? You haven't been calling him that To his face have you?" I Smiled guiltily, "I guess I just got used to it.

"I don't ever know what'll happen to me. No one Knows what could happen to them. But so long as I'm still here, I've made it my mission to Bring him Happiness."
She listens intently.

"He's done so much for everyone, and he tries so hard. Only to Be Called A Villain. He deserves a Beautiful suprise; something that'd Make him flash the biggest smile, ever known to mankind.

"You...you Really Do Care about him huh?" I nod at that

I giggled, " I stare down at my journal, before flipping To A page, "This was my grandmother's Garden." She smiled slightly, Taking it In her Hands. She points towards the Boy carrying a pale of Water, evidentally struggling.

"Who's that?"
I sigh, "That's My brother."
"Your brother...isn't that The guy Who picked you Up from the other day? I Remember seeing him at the Sports festival too. He was Rude before, Shoved momo out of the Way on her way up to the Podium." I chuckled.

"He's like that alot." I only smile warmly. If only She knew. But she can't. No one can.

Does this make me just as bad as my brother? Lying about myself; keeping secrets From others.

"There's a weird vibe I got when I saw him that day. I've been meaning to ask you, but I never really had the chance."

I swollow back the lump In my throat, as she Prepares to say something. "How are things really; between you and him?" She blushed bitterly, "I've never really had a sibling before, I Grew up in a nuclear Household."

I mentally sigh in relief. I stir around my thoughts trying to find The propper response.

I was horrified with myself for blurting out my response before actually thinking it over. "Haha! Well. Having a brother isn't really all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes I'd make him so mad, he'd Probably Cut my tails off."

She smiled at that. Thank Fuck I guess I really am smart

"But at least you have A brother." She retorted. "True. But have you forgotten?"

She stares back at me intently, halting her Hands; her Earjacks fall against her shoulders. "You Have Sisters! Your friends, and me. You don't need to be related to someone by blood to consider them family."

She blushed, and so did I. I pulled her In for A warm hug. "Aren't You forgetting something?" She Trails off, when I shrug, she sighs in fake defeat, "I'm the one Whose supposed to Cheer you up. Here you are, your makeup's a mess from crying; and You're worried about me."

Once that finally sank into my brain, I giggled. "Honestly seeing other people smile; genuinely warms my heart. You actually have cheered me up." She blushes.

I Embrace her again, This time she eased into it Rolling her eyes.
Her gaze had trailed From my face, down to the sketchbook in my lap. She Looks shocked.

"Have you been drawing In that this Entire time?! Wait a minute-"
I flash a look of confusion. "How Are you Drawing Right now?!" I shrug my shoulders, "This has been how I've drawn for a while. My eyesight gives me Some sort of gloomy shadow in the dark perspective; which basically makes me extremely Blind. Since I already can't see to draw naturally, I can multitask. She sighs in defeat, changing the subject.

honestly The rest of the Day Just dragged On. Katsuli Seemed To be tense around me for some reason, on the way home. I solemnly follow the Scent of Asphalt, Hopeful; I won't run into anything, or Trip and make a fool of myself.

Eventually he piped up. "What The Hell happened to your tails,
Tails." I would've giggled at the way he asked me this, but for Some reason I was just down-right paranoid. Actually, the reason wasn't Exactly unknown.

I had to swollow back the anxious lump in my Throat pondering up an excuse.

Bakugo's Pov

Why can't I just Fucking spit it Out?! Katsuki bakugo, Wasn't used to Having To ask people about their lives. Those Damn Extras, or in other Words -the bakusquad-  would Just say whatever the hell Was on their mind.

That's One of the luxuries of Having Friends That are real.
He didn't blame (f/n) for being afraid To open up, how Could she not? He couldn't really let himself imagine what normally happens at home when she's only trying to be Honest.

Today was the day, he was Going to Ask her To Meet up at training grounds later on in the day; to Help her Out a little bit more.

He feels the need to be the best of the best at all times, But shockingly, he felt the need to help her Alot more.

On their way to school, She wound up Hurling into a nearby dumpster.

He Felt stupid for doing this, but He'd evidentally checked her out from behind. He told himself it Was to get a better look at Her Tail that so obviously wasn't there.

His gaze trails down farther, He faintly caught Sight of (f/n)'s tail nub flickering around.

Instead of pointing that out, and stressing over what actually happened to it, he offered her gum, only for her To Inhale the Entire piece without taking off the rapper first.

In class, Her Gaze wasn't entirely focused on Aizawa, it Looked almost as though she were paying attention, but He Could Easily see the journal Sitting on her thigh under the desk, as she bounced her knee anxiously.

When lunch hit, at first he'd decided he'd give her Personal space. But the moment the bell ring, everyone started swarming her.

That's right, their Test scores Were Finally out. And she Seemed to be the only one who'd made a 100%. It was logical for people to want her help, but.

Those shitty extras. Always looking for an easy way out.

He wasn't going to just stand there, and watch her practically hyperventilating. He was Suprised to find her Rushing past him.

Was she...crying?

He knew he Was being stupid, but He followed her. The Thought of Her suffering alone Shook him to his core. He couldnt fathom why she'd choose to harbor so much pain on her own.

When He follows Her behind the school, he Stood just around the corner, every now and then Glancing at her.

He could hear her crying Fairly Well. His breathes hitch, as he clentches his teeth; balling his hands Into fists.

He was going to Go talk to her, until Jiro mysteriously shows up.
There he stood, Their conversation loitering into earshot.

"What Was your home like? This is honestly the farthest you and I have Actually gotten to since you helped me that day."

"My home was Beautiful...It was filled with Creaks and ponds, The Most Beautiful meadow. Our crops were so rich, people would travel across the world just to Buy them. And the flowers...there were So many. I loved every Flower Out there, from the tiniest weed To the Tallest rose-bush." I loved talking about my home. I missed it so much. I missed the way I felt as I'd Run Across the meadow with my Brother."

The way she talked about her home with pride. He was relieved to see her smiling again.

"during The spring When it rained; my Grandmothers buttercups became gold. our grass was so rich; with the shade of every dreamers meadow."

"There were these special porches, that linked Everyone's homes together, they'd rise farther in the sky than the trees, there was A Jaw dropping Meadow, just minutes away from our village, but it was considered our Territory; our village's elder Claimed it to be."

"My dream is to Show Katsuki."

He Immidiately Tenses up At the sound Of His Name. He Purses his lips, as he leans against the wall of the building; with his hands In his pockets.

"Wait...You mean Bakugo? You haven't been calling him that To his face have you?"

"I guess I just got used to it."

" I don't ever know what'll happen to me. No one Knows what could happen to them. But so long as I'm still here, I've made it my mission to Bring him Happiness."

Me??

"He's done so much for everyone, and he tries so hard. Only to Be Called A Villain. He deserves a Beautiful suprise; something that'd Make him flash the biggest smile, ever known to mankind."
His Cheeks flushed, Although his scowl remained, it looked more like he was annoyed, Frustrated, or angry.

"You...you Really Do Care about him huh?" I nod at that

she Stares down at the journal in her lap. "This was my grandmother's Garden."

He could just Barely get a glimpse At Her passing the journal to jiro, but he couldn't see it well enough to really understand it. So he listened farther.

"Who's that?"

"That's My brother."

"Your brother...isn't that The guy Who picked you Up from the other day? I Remember seeing him at the Sports festival too. He was Rude before, Shoved momo out of the Way on her way up to the Podium."

"He's like that alot."

"There's a weird vibe I got when I saw him that day. I've been meaning to ask you, but I never really had the chance."

"How are things really; between you and him?"

"I've never really had a sibling before, I Grew up in a nuclear Household." He didn't exactly like the Idea of Her Asking such prying questions, but he brushed it off carelessly. As she Pondered up an excuse.

"Haha! Well...Having a brother isn't really all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes I'd make him so mad, he'd Probably Cut my tails off."

"-cut my tails off."

"....cut...my...tails....off."

"Cut.......my........tails.....off."

No...this couldn't have gone that far...

That sentence echoed in His mind. He needed to Blast something. He Was boiling With Rage.

That sick bastard- I knew He Had something to do with this.

I wanna kill this man So Fucking Bad.

I'm going to make this man suffer.

"He'd  probably

Your pov

This is an open world.
There is nature In the most abandoned; and secluded places.
You wouldn't expect Japan to have many wooded areas, but Surprisingly it does.

With places like this available,
Why train on campus?

"Do you actually Fucking know where the hell we're going?!" Gripes bakugo, as I drag him through A Short-cut which seemed to be Shrouded with nature.

"Come on Katsuki! It's just up ahead."  "Yeah but how to you know that? You're blind as Fuck-"
"I can smell Open grass; I hear water running That way." He sighs in defeat, which Sounds more like a groan.

Ignoring His statement, I bolt over to the Water-stream. I Fall to my knees, giggling; If I listened closely I could hear the Voices Of the tadpoles- under the Water.
I stuck my head Into the stream; I couldn't see Very well, but I didn't care. I could still hear them.

I finally pull my head back; thrashing my silky (h/t), hair over my shoulder, before Shaking my hair dry.

When I looked behind me; suddenly we met noses. I Blushed; I Would've looked away, but before I Could I caught a glimpse of his annoyed Expression, and  his spiky hair soaked, which reminded me of A Pomeranian, At bath-time.

I bursted out laughing.

He Suprisingly just rolls his eyes.
We scan our surroundings, I Find myself in awe. Who knew My Nose Could Lead Us to this spot; this Was the spot I'd often run away To before my brother strengthened his grip on me.

The moonlight gently Spills against The Earth. It seemed almost as though the Dirt Itself would glow. It was barely scraping the brink of dusk.

The orange gold stretches far and wide, the colour of fire hearths and tangerines; melts Solumbly against the blue Haze; as Day Lifted, revealing stars That sparkled like snow-flakes.

He scoffed. "Are we training, or star-gazing?" I smiled sheepishly, letting my gaze fell to the ground.
"But isn't this the perfect spot?"
He only rolls his eyes, "let's just get this shit over with."

We Started training then and there.

He Taught me The basics, Taking advantage of my senses, to predict movements around me. I had alot of Trouble fighting him considering my horrific eyesight.

He Told me seeing Isn't as Big Of an issue as Move prediction. If I didn't have my senses; and I couldn't see To predict Movements, then I'd probably be better off trying A different method. Honestly I think he was just trying to say I'd fail without Hurting my feelings, which was odd. Katsuki usually states The entire truth no matter how Rude It May actually be.

Could it have been that, he was genuinely Considering my Feelings?? I'm not sure.

He tried teaching me how To aim my fox-fire through Long distance ranges. He made me Fire towards the sky As long as I possibly could before getting tired. He Claimed this Would test out my fox-fire's endurance.

I did this so long that my skin, broke into flames. My Eyes did the exact same, but I couldn't really feel anything.

I kept my hand aimed towards the sky, but glanced down at my left  hand. I knew He was yelling something, but for once I actually couldn't hear him.

I closed my eyes, Flaming Tears Ooz down my cheeks. "Oi Tails F-Fucking Stop- you're good now-"
Before I knew it He was taking my hands; the fire Ceased.

I stare up at him for a long time; in some sort of trance. My Heart was racing a mile a minute; his defeaning crimson Orbs Struck my Thoughts.

"You're good." He repeats himself, letting go of my hands. I shake my head, "Oh jeez I'm so sorry katsuki..I let my feelings Get in the way of training."

I sigh, My tail nub sulks down, where my tails Would've expresively flickered with anxiety.

He only nods. We both sit down on the ground.

"You know What That Bastard Did to you Was Wrong. Right?" He gave me A Ragged look. I look down at my Hands, Playing with my nails anxiously. "Yeah. I know."

My lips trembled. I wouldn't let myself break down in front of him, I couldn't. That's what I Led myself to believe.

I Forced my Lips into a smile.
"Great heroes need great Sorrows, and Burdens or half their Greatness goes Unnoticed. It's all apart of the Fairytale."

He held a tight scowl. "This isn't a Fucking fairytale (f/n). This is your life. And Your Putting yourself In danger-"   "I Wanna see my Mom katsuki."

He stopped speaking. He furrowed his eyes, almost Slightly shocked. "How do you know she's not fucking dead?!"

His words hit me hard.

He is out of Line right now.

But that's okay.

"-Shit tails That's not-"

I take a deep breathe, My lips trembling yet again. "It's fine katsuki. Just come Here." He flashes a dumbfounded look, and I roll my eyes. I place my hand on his cheek.

The flashing Pictures, Seem to have startled him; his eyes roll to the back of his head.

This Perspective was bitter, But you could view a Red Sword; it was glowing bright White, with a tint of red.

"T-The Fuck kind of shit is this?!"

If I Responded I'd break the link to his Thoughts.

Indistinguishable murmurs could be heard, as the perspective trails backwards. It was then you could Just barely get A glimpse Of a memory. The day I was Dragged to that abandoned Werehouse; it's When I sensed it.

He grabs my wrist pulling my hand away. "What The Hell did that have to do with your Mom??"
"She's in the sword." I responded bluntly.

"Her blood is in the sword." I added. He blinks, "W-What The hell- How did you-"  "I dug into it alot. If I get that sword, my body will obsorb The blood, my mother was A powerful Kitsune, who Was once, An elder. With that I'll have Enough power To Use necromancy-"  "But If you can't even fucking handle yourself With your own fire; what the hell makes you Think you'll be Strong Enough To bring them back by then?"

I swollowed back the lump in my throat anxiously. "Doing this will Erase my quirk, along with my ancestrial line. My brother won't need me anymore."

"Are You Fucking serious?!"
I nodded. He scowled, groaning, before clawing at his own face.
"Don't worry about me katsuki." I responded with a smile. "Please?"

He Scowled even Harder, "You Know, I couldn't not Worry even if I fucking tried dipshit." I hug him, Nuzzling into his chest. I let my ears fall back against my Head, burrying my face in his Shirt.

"Oi Tails I'm not Your Fucking Body pillow-"

Bakugo's Pov

She's...asleep? Katsuki Trails Off in his mind, gazing down at (f/n) fast asleep. she'd just tackled him to the ground With a hug.

He really didn't like the idea of carrying her Back to that Hell with her brother. So with a sigh, He scoops her Into his arms And Carries her home With him, losing himself in thought.

- Flashback starts

"What The Hell happened to your tails, Tails?!" Katsuki Asked this question Just about as calmly as he could, but no matter what He always Yelled, Considering The fact that They Were Taking A short-cut through An alley-way- his voice Was even louder.

This made the Poor girls fur stand on edge.

"I-I well...what do you mean Katsuki?" She Responded, Smiling Weakly. "Don't give me that bullshit. You know What I mean."

She Sighs. "Well....Money's gotten really tight Back At home. And kitsune fur, is actually Really valuable-"  He slams his hands against the wall behind her, "Tell me You Fucking Didn't!!"

Their faces were inches away.
Strangely, She Doesn't feel panic in anyway.

She knows He won't hurt her.

"I-It's not That bad Katsuki-"
"DO YOU FUCKING HEAR YOURSELF RIGHT NOW??!"
Instead of responding, she embraces him.

"What the-"
"Please stop worrying So much about me Katsuki."

Her plea was Solumn.
The way her Calm voice gently shook; vibrating against His chest. His Rage gently ceased.

He responds In adgitation. "You know I can't Fucking do that."
She only giggled. "Of Course you can't-" she muttered, earning an eyeroll.

- Flashback End

Katsuki Flashed The Girl A Short scowl.

He mentally groans

Your pov

"This way sweetheart-"

I stumbled forward, my short legs made it Hard to run, But The sound of My father's voice was so warm, and it's been So long since I've felt anything, other than Cold.

"Dad?" My voice was fickle and soft. I could only assume I was Really young.

"Where are you?"

"Dad??"

I wondered about the Forest just beyond the boarder of our village.
I was afraid, to go any farther. The Darkness of the forest was too much for me.

But I couldn't stop myself.

My heart Throbbed, I hadn't a clue what lied Beyond The thick darkness up ahead. My footsteps Echo in my Mind.

'Better Force myself into the unknown now, than to turn back now' I Thought to myself alloud.

I Thrust my body forward, my Tails blowing Blissfully; were each tugged back by the wind. I throw my arms over my head shielding myself of what ever danger lies before me.

The sun Gently Kissed the tip of the earth, as I was led Onto a long Grassy cliff, hovering Over what seemed to be A large River.

I pull my arms Back, allowing myself to take in the beauty. I felt tears Pringe at the Sight Of Vanilla Pink Blossoms, blooming Right before me. Pedals leak into the air, Right through my hair, as my Snow white Ears flap anxiously.

There were three in particular that caught my eye.

A red petal,

A blue petal,

And a violet one.

My heart Raked against my chest, as I Sprinted towards them. I grabbed the first one I could reach, and the rest Fell over the cliff. I fell too my knees, at the sight of them drifting away.

'No, please.'

'Please don't leave me here..'

I bursted into tears, my surroundings Literally melted before me.

Thick heavy Footsteps Could be heard behind Me. My heart hurt so bad, I couldn't acknowledge them.

"Your kinddness Will be the death of you, just Like your family. Come with me, you have nothing left to live for." I glance behind to find my brother, hovering Over me.

The eerie darkness, It was Literally radiating around him.

I took his hand, and my life flashes before my eyes.

Before I knew it, I was chained to the wall, in the cellar. Yelping; as multiple needles sank into my skin, stealing both my blood, and my sanity.

I sulk in the cuffs, sliding down to burry My head in my knees, blood pools into the floor below me. The shadow in the light perspective was back, and I could faintly recognize someone's Facial reflection in the puddle of blood.

I thrusted my Body forward, Throwing my hands around my throat, gasping for air. "The Hell-?! What Happened-!!" I glance up to find Katsuki hovering Over me, I was...In a bed?

"W-Where am I?! Crap, What time is it?!" I started freaking out. He sits down next to me, grabbing my hands. "Calm the fuck down, you're at my house. You fell asleep dipshit-"

"I WHAT?!? I HAVE TO GO!!!-" I stumbled out of bed, he halts me. His orbs Seemed to have me frozen in place in a matter of seconds. Before I knew it the dream Played out In my mind Like a movie, I shiver anxiously, yanking my hands away from him. "What The fuck- woah hey was that-" "I-It Was Nothing!!" I squeaked, "That didn't look like nothing-" "if I don't get back right now I'm so dead katsuki, I'm sorry!" I lept onto the frame of his bed purching myself in place. 'Better now than never' I muttered to myself before Using The little energy I'd mustered up From Sleeping, by Shapeshifting.

my clothes Melt into what seemed to be scarves, I glance back; Katsuki is speechless at this point. I take The form of a small white fox, Throwing myself out the window. He rushes to the Frame, staring down at me.

"Fuck- Tails! Wait-" before I changed my mind, I paw down the side of his home, planting my paws into the ground. I scrambled off into the night, depending solely on sense, to guide me.

My One tail Swishes around with the wind, my nub, just flickered around. I couldn't believe I actually managed to Pull that off. I couldn't help but wonder. There was something about that dream that shook me to my core.

Was it the dream itself???
Or a specific Part???

Flashbacks start rolling, I rushed across A busy street, the smell of Engine smoke, and tire rubble Scorned my senses.

As soon as I felt like I was safe I fell to my paws, shaking.

That was Really scary

I need to be more careful

Bakugo's Pov

SHE JUST UP AND DITCHED ME!!!
Katsuki frustratingly Laced his fingers Through his hair, sitting On his bed.

He thought about what he Saw, what Just happened. What The Hell was that?! He Growled mentally.

When She touched me- I grabbed her hand...It was Like I could see All the Shit in her Mind.

What he saw, he Wondered if it was a memory, but It made absolutely no sense. It was a dream.

She Showed me her fucking dream... By accident??

He lies back in bed, pondering Her abilities In his mind. And she can shapeshift...Maybe I've been going at this the wrong way. Her flames aren't really The only Thing she knows how to do. She needs to figure out the right combination of moves, that Exercise All of her Powers at once- NOW I SOUND LIKE SHITTY ASS DEKU!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BITCH DOING TO ME!?

katsuki's thoughts Ran all over the place For The longest Time.
Eventually he Found Himself Drifting back Into a heavy sleep, Sort of releaved he didn't have to stay in the floor, after all.

Your pov

I snuck inside through the window in My bedroom. It's been a long time since I've Been allowed in there, just to look around Or relax. There were one or two all-might posters, But they were dulling and pale. Cobwebs littered every crevice of the area, accept my bed.

I Remained Perched in the window-ceil for a while, until finally I Lept into the floor; careful not to make a sound. My paws Were silent Against the Hardwood floors, My normal sized feet would've probably made the floor creak.

I Lept up onto my bed. The light of the moon Spills in through the open window. I focused the scent of Fresh air to Keep calm as i shifted back.

I knew tomorrow would bring Hell. But I was okay with that.
I sank into my bedsheets drifting off to sleep;

for once feeling like

Your Pov

Today, I woke up in chains; yet Again. I could only assume my brother must have found me, and somehow managed to drag me Down here in my sleep. It wouldn't suprise me, The sleep I've been lacking Must have Caught up with me. At this point I could even sleep through The Sound of Blaring ambulance sirens.

Alas, I bring my head up, The scent of sulfur Pinched My Nose.
My feet were dangling above The ground, my right ear twitched At The sound of Liquid Trickling down My Leg, Plopping Into What I pressumed to be a bucket.

He was blood-collecting again.

The darkness Struck me Right In the brain. I've Gotten used to it, now that my vision Is Slowly but Surely Fading into Nothing; Darkness Is Almost all i can see.

The lack of Light had bothered me so much at first just Became normal. The world Was etched in a Tar-like Darkness. the once vibrant hues of the plants I'd grown to admire; were no more than a vivid dream.

A dream I found myself playing throughout my brain; over and over again, To stifle the painful memories Of Suffering, at the hands of men. At the hands of my own brother; my flesh and blood.

I was startled By the long creak of The cellar door, and my brothers Heavy boots booming with every step. The anticipation Drove me insane, being chained up; unable to Run.

My ears twitch yet again, as He moves The Bucket Below me out of the way. When my Feet touch the Ice cold floor, I shiver. He yanks the Chain, Before Snarling into my Right ear. "Ever pull that Shit again, I'll Peel your Skin off, and force it down your throat."

My heart Raked against my chest. I nodded profusely, tears pricking my eyes.

Getting ready for school today was complicated, my vision had gotten to the point to where I Could hardly see to do my makeup. I still Managed though, Or at least I could only Assume I managed, by the time I finished.

Like Always, there Katsuki was Waiting for me At the stop-sign. Or At least what I assumed to be The stop-sign.

He Smelt Like Caramel Coated macaroons. My grandmother and I made Them all the time when we were young.

I Felt my Tail nub Start wagging the moment I'd seen him. I wished the Tail I'd Obtained through shapeshifting the previous night Remained, but for some reason It Was Just Gone. I guessed it was something to do with the way my quirk Was working now.

"I'm over Here Moran, you Really need to get your Fucking eyes checked." He tisked, I kept my gaze on the ground below me. "I'm sorry Katsuki..." I could feel him staring at me longfully.

"I wish I could see, it smells so amazing out here, I bet it's such a beautiful day!" I kept A smile, Rubbing the back of my head sheepishly. "What The Hell do you mean? It's just like any Other day." I shook my head at that, "Every day Is A gift Katsuki! Oh-" I pouted, "I wish So badly I Could see The Beautiful world, I cherish so deeply..." I Felt my heart sink.

"Please Don't Take this Life of yours forgranted katsuki!!" I scolded him, pointing my Finger shamefully, or...At least I thought I was. "That's a Fucking pole dipshit." I giggled. "Uhh, oops...sorry-"

"You see the truth is...." I started, "I don't know Any specific pin-point as to why my eyesight's been failing me now, It could be because I'm kept in a dark room at almost all times, or maybe it's Because of all the Blood and Bacteria I've gotten in my Eyes...." He looks at me and shrugs, seeming like he wanted to respond- but He didn't.

I Talked to Uraraka As soon as I Arrived at school, and Parted ways with Katsuki. Iida Also asked Me if I could help Him Pick out Flowers after school, it was his mothers birthday. He claimed my nose Could differentiate which flowers were the best of the best, because his mother was the best, so of course I kindly agreed, so long as It wouldn't Make me late to work.

Just moments before making my way to the cafeteria For Lunch, Aizawa stopped me, claiming The recovery girl needed to see me.

So Of course, I went.
When I walked into her office, I was Immidiately Hit By the scent of Grape flavoured cough-drops, and Dead Skin.

"(L/n) dear, how have you been feeling since our last Encounter?"
I beamed, "Ha, I'm making it-" she nodded. I clear my throat, "So, Aizawa said you wanted to speak with me."

She Nodded, "Your boyfriend Dropped this Off, it's a Solution To clean out Your eyes, What a sweet boy."  It took me a minute to Sink in what she'd just said. I wave my hands in defense; "U-UH, Y-YOU.. M-MEAN KATSUKI??!- H-HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!!...I-I wish, but That'd never happen..." I mumbled that last Part, I was relieved she didn't hear me.

"Just lay down on this cott, and I'll Flush The Bacteria from your eyes. You'll be Good as New, don't you worry deary." I nodded profusely, now Quivering with anticipation.

Katsuki...did He make this...for me??

If it works...oh God if it works...

I sat in silence, waiting patently, as she hovered over me, Preparing the solution for my eyes. "I'll be Putting them in now, so sit still dear, can you do that for me?" I only nod in response.

The liquid was Cool, it Felt amazing. Most people Would've probably freaked out about something like that, but I wasn't.

"Lie there just like that for fifteen minutes, your vision should Return, but It will be a bit blurry for A while, alright?"

I Felt tears aching for release, as I sat there for what felt like a thousand years.

Once I Blink, it's like the world around me Stops. The pale white colours of the walls; right down to the very color Of Recovery girls navy blue Visor Around her face.

I Felt my breathes hitch,
I-It worked?! I-I can see...

Katsuki, he did this for me...
He's so Amazing, I couldn't help but cry tears of joy. She Rubs reassuring circles around my back, as the tears trickle down my cheeks.

I didn't get the Chance to see him, until the school day was over, and I'd found him waiting outside of the school for me.

I came to a halt, Scanning his appearance. I could see him.
I can see him...

He kept his hands in his pockets, "it's about Fucking time. I've been waiting here for- WOAH!!" he didn't get the Chance to finish, I tackled him to the ground In a hug.

"Oh katsuki!!! Thank you so, so much!!!! You're The kindest person In the World!!!!! Thank you-thank you-thank you!!!!!"

"Yeah Yeah, Let's go find four-eyes So you can Flower Shop, or whatever." He kept his arms elevated, but Eventually they Ease Into the comfort of my Hug.

I help him up, whiping away The tears, left over from before.
We Searched and searched for Iida, eventually we finally found him. He Seemed to be Directing traffic, there Was a Bright Red fire-truck blocking Part of the street, a cat Clenched onto the pole of the Stop-light, slowly but Surely being pulled And thrown off balance by the heavily blowing wind.

I wave at him, "Hello Iida!! You seem busy, do you still wanna go pick out Flowers for your mom?"
He Scans his surroundings Readying his Arms; almost as though I startled him, and i Alerted Some sort of danger.

He settles his gaze on Katsuki and I, "greetings (l/n)!! And Bakugo. Your pressence Is Greatly appriciated!" I beam a Bright smile, glancing over at Katsuki, concentrating more on the rushing traffic, rather than My conversation with Iida.

One of the Fire-men Kindly Took Iida's spot, greatful For the boys Help. Just like that, we were off.

Katsuki was silent The whole time, as we strolled through the Street market, despite This; I made it my mission to Get Him to contribute to the conversation.

I still couldn't help myself though, The street-market was so colorful. There Were People Playing Music, Children running around; sparkling fire-works in hand.

There were sparklers of multiple colours. The fireworks burn with impatience, everything at the speed of a camera flash. They send hot sparks into the cool afternoon air, soaring until they are extinguished to blackness.

"So Pretty!! Wow!! Look At all the colours Katsuki!!" I held his arm, tugging on it. I point towards the Dancing Flames, Shimmering.
"I'm Right Here dipshit, I can see it just Fine. Don't yank my arm off." I giggled at that. Iida seemed more Obsorbed Into searching for a flower shop.

"Katsuki!!! Look Look!! there are People Playing Music!! Oh, this brings back So many memories." Everything warmed my heart, I was so thrilled, I was finally Able To see everyrhing again.

"I Get it!! I Get it!! Jeez!!" He scoffed, "I don't Get why this Excites you so Damn Much, it's just a street-market. There's nothing special about a shitty place like this."

"That just is not true Bakugo, there are Many Reasons To enjoy Shopping-" I giggled at Iida who'd Interjected. Here I was shopping Next to both a pessimist and an optimist. I should've expected they'd butt heads, surprisingly though it wasn't really that bad.

We finally located a flowershop.
When we walked in, we were Immidiately greeted By a lady With golden orange hair. "Welcome to Marcela's Flower shop!! My name Is shizuka Kyouko, how might I Assist you three?" Katsuki kept his hands stuffed in His pockets The entire time.

Iida explained the details of our Search, And we were lead to A green room filled with the most beautiful Flowers in the universe, Not Counting the pink blossoms Originating from My home village.

"K-Katsuki!!!!" I breathed his name, captivated In awe of the Beautiful green room. "Yeah!! I know What you're about to Fucking say. And for the Millionth time I See it!!" I giggled, Flashing a smile. He looks a little Suprosed for a moment before Glancing away from me, clenching his teeth.

I Lie me head against his arm, "I love Doing This with you Katsuki. You're so Sweet for staying With me." He rolls his eyes, a subtle blush spreading across his cheeks. "Whatever let's get this over with already."

I nod, as if on cue, Iida motioned for my help after talking with the clerk for so long.

"Wow Iida, I didn't peg you to be the flirtatious type!" I giggled, elbowing him in the side. He Blushes, Pushing up his glasses, "I'VE DONE NOTHING OF THE SORT!!!" I pat his Back, "I was only teasing!! Silly, tenya." He Blushes harder, Bakugo Grindes his teeth. What was his Problem?

I sniffed so many different flowers today, I've never felt so calm before. Tenya was greatful for my help, I told him I was Glad to. That's what friends are for.

I was so happy on our way home. I could feel Katsuki's Prying Gaze, Right on my tail nub. I tried to Distract him from that. "Today was so amazing katsuki, I wish I didn't Have To work. I wanted to show you something." He shrugs, "You can show me tomorrow dipshit. You need the money right? Don't waste your Time on me. It doesn't matter either way."

I could tell he was tense, I Gave him a warm smile; lacing my fingers with his. He stares at me shocked, "How the hell are you Always Bursting with joy?" It was my turn to shrug. "I'm not, I'm only myself when I'm....around...." I trailed off, I almost said to much. I really didn't want to Have to tell him I liked him, I could only show him. "When your around what??"
Realising what he Just asked, he shakes his Head correcting himself. "Shit, I mean When I was..when I'm around you feel.. just Spill it, what were you-" I interupted by hugging him. I've never been so glad To see the cafe than I was right now. I had an excuse to bail out of that conversation. "Don't worry katsuki! I'll see you later!!" He rolls his eyes. "Yeah Yeah, whatever. Meet me by the Stop sign by 9."

Bakugo's Pov

The Sun Beams down Upon Both Katsuki, and (f/n) as They make their towards school,  planning to meet up By the stop-sign as per usual. Bakugo Just couldn't shake The Previous night from his mind, the way she ran off so suddenly. She really was afraid of that man, he could Feel the fear In her voice as it shook, when she'd squeaked "I have To go!!!"

He'd never admit it, but it was always relieving to see her smile.
After waiting At that stop-sign To find Her Scanning her surrounding for him, he'd grown adgitated. He was right there in front of her, but she obviously Didn't notice.

"I'm over Here Moran, you Really need to get your Fucking eyes checked." Snarled Bakugo. The girls Gaze falls to the Ground, as she apologised. "I'm sorry Katsuki..."

Bakugo scans (f/n)'a appearance, as she smiled. He could See through that bullshit. Did she think he was stupid?

Something's bugging her today.
Shit, I'm probably going to have to pry the truth out of her.

I'll worry about that later.

Bakugo Couldn't help but stare at the Smiling girl, wagging the nub of her tail. He just couldn't understand how She could be so carefree when she's dealing with so much.

He hated the way her smooth, Voice Lingered around his mind. Her beauty would Capture him in a trance at the worst of times. Her innocence Was the one thing driving him to Avoid looking at her like that.

"I wish I could see, it smells so amazing out here, I bet it's such a beautiful day!"

That's right, She can't Fucking see.
God I'm so fucking Stupid. I completely Forgot.

Bakugo shrugs off the statement, Trying to act like he could care less. "What The Hell do you mean? It's just like any Other day."

She shakes her head, " "Every day Is A gift Katsuki! Oh-" she Pouted.  He could tell this was a touchy topic for her, and he felt stupid for Letting that slip his mind.

Maybe I can help her some how.

But..Shit I don't have any Fucking clue how I actually can.

"I wish So badly I Could see The Beautiful world, I cherish so deeply..."  She spoke Highly of Nature, and it's Simplest pleasures. She Really loved The outdoors.

"Please Don't Take this Life of yours forgranted katsuki!!" She scolded a nearby pole. Bakugo facepalms. "That's a Fucking pole dipshit." She giggled back at him apologising, embarrassed.

"You see the truth is...." She started. "I don't know Any specific pin-point as to why my eyesight's been failing me now, It could be because I'm kept in a dark room at almost all times, or maybe it's Because of all the Blood and Bacteria I've gotten in my Eyes...." 

Kept in a dark room??
Blood and Bacteria??
This sounds like some, shit Straight out of a fucking horror movie.
What exactly has this guy Been Doing To her??

Bakugo Couldn't reveal how he truly Felt, or She Probably wouldn't trust him anymore.
He took What she'd previously stated, playing it through his mind.

If it's Bacteria, that's something I could easily take care of. I think My mom Still Has A few Of The ingredients, I'm just Going to have To Ransack the next Pharmacy, searching for everything else I need.

Fuck,  why am I doing this?

She probably doesn't even Need my shitty help.

But if It can help her then, I'll have to Fucking try.

Before he knew it, (f/n) had dispersed from sight. He guessed maybe She'd ran off to Talk to her friends, so He Talked to Aizawa About running home, and making that solution for her.

Aizawa didn't like the idea of Bakugo skipping class, but The way he'd acted today was Quite different. He dropped the solution off with recovery girl around lunch. In class he'd overheard
(f/n) agree to help Iida Go flower shopping, and mentally groaned.

That first Class douchebag Is taking advantage Of her kindness, he Fucking knows she wouldn't say no. Why does she have to be such a pushover???

He Huffed around in circles, In front of the school as he waited patiently for (f/n)'s Return, so they could get Iida's bullshit out of the way.

He didn't really see her as much today as he thought he would, this made him really anxious. He felt the weight of the world lift off his shoulders when he met a set Of Alluring (e/c) orbs.

She's definetely looking right at me. So it worked?

He plays off The fact that He was staring, by snarling,  "it's about Fucking time. I've been waiting here for- WOAH!!"

Bakugo was startled back. He stumbled, collapsing- the teary
eyed girl tackled him to the ground. She was so tiny, she'd clung to him like a child being dragged through a haunted house.

"Oh katsuki!!! Thank you so, so much!!!! You're The kindest person In the World!!!!! Thank you-thank you-thank you!!!!!"

He Blushes, Not really expecting her to be so greatful of Something That simple. He tried to shrug it off.

Did that really Mean so much? All I did was make her medicine.
She's just being melodramatic.

The more he thought about it, the more he Realised, if she Ever had the chance To meet her mom- she wouldn't actually be able To See her Again, or anyone. Living your life relying on senses will only get more and more complicated.

"Yeah Yeah, Let's go find four-eyes So you can Flower Shop, or whatever." He slowly but Surely Dropped His arms around her, easing into the hug.

She helps him up, And They're Off to aid Iida in his flower quest.

To say Bakugo was tired of this little prick would be an understatement. He Was ready to blast him into rushing traffic. Dragging her all the way here just to ditch her and talk to Some store clerk.

The crumbiest part of it all was the fact that she was fine with him doing that.

He couldn't understand how She could want to help everyone who Asks for it, but that didn't mean he didn't accept it. He knew that was just the type of girl (f/n) was.

She's too innocent for her own good. The world will chew people like her up and spit her back out.
He couldn't let that happen to her.

But how Would he become a pro hero, Putting So much Effort into helping her?

He couldnt understand why He wanted to protect her. It could've been because of What she suffers through, or the fact that she's generally a follower, not a leader. But right now, he hadn't a clue.

He'd returned home around six, and passed Out. He'd Almost forgot About (f/n). He woke to the sound Of Her calling his name. Despite not actually being there.
He'd realised he was late, and Scrambled out the door as fast as he Can.

"KATSUKI BAKUGO!! WHAT THE HELL HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT RUNNING IN THE HOUSE?"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!! OLD HAG- I'LL BE BACK!!!"

"GET THE HELL BACK HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT!!"

Before she Could Snarl at him anymore, He'd dispersed from sight.

He blasted his way There, it was almost nine-thirty, which meant she must have been waiting For a While. He mentally gripes at himself, But Finally Makes it.

He's baffled to find she was no where in sight. She wasn't still on the clock, He'd searched for her in the cafe but couldn't find her anywhere.

Could she go ahead and walk home? I don't Fucking know...

He halts at the Sound of Some ones feeble voice From afar.
"W-We shouldn't be Doing this-"
"You need the money, Right?"
The sound of kissing was silent, but still Managed to echo. His body boiled with rage.

I swear to Fucking god,

"I-I need the money!! But..there's So many other things i could do- I-I really don't wanna do this-"
"Just Shut Up, and Let Me Do this."

He Storms towards the dark Winding alleyway.

He couldn't hold Back. Seeing (f/n) pinned against the wall, Obviously Fearful of This Sick fuck-.

Before He could go any further, He Punched the dude in his Face, Literally Blasting him Across the alleyway. His crimson red orbs were flaring with rage.

He Turns to Face (f/n). She seemed unphazed by His outburst. She was still trembling, he could see it In her eyes.

"Are...you...okay???" She Nods, throwing her arms around him. "Thank You so much katsuki."
He rolls his eyes, "Why Didn't you try to Call me dipshit?!"

She sighs, "I don't own A phone..."
"You have a job, and you haven't even Bought yourself a Fucking phone? Where the hell Does all that money go?" She Looks to the ground sorrowfully. "I have to help with bills, you know. To keep our utilities going, And rent. My money's drained, any extra money I ever have gets stolen by My brother, and he just uses it To buy alcohol, and pills."

Bakugo clentches his teeth together. "That's your Fucking Money!!" She hang her head guiltily, "it's not like it matters anymore, I'm definetely fired now."

He frowns in confusion, "What the hell?? Why?" She narrows her eyes glancing in the direction He'd blasted The Man from before. "Uhh. Well....ha, you see- that guy was my boss..."

His eyes Grow wide, "Shit- I got you fired- tails I'm..." He sighs mid-sentence, "That bastard was really asking for it...has... has That Little Shit been putting you through this Your entire time working here??" He's still seering with rage. He Pins her to the wall, but Surprisingly doesn't really react. she can sense His tension, she cups his Hand. "Oh Katsuki, I know you're hearts in the right place, but You musn't worry about me. So much-"

"You let everyone Walk all over you!! And you Expect me Not to worry?!" She rolls her eyes, "let's go Katsuki, I have A surprise for you." She beams at him, sliding by. He sighs in defeat.

Your Pov:

The way to our training Spot was Exciting. I was so happy, and I loved being Around Katsuki so much. The way the moon Lit up the winding Dirt Path Captured Me in awe, I was sure If I still had At least one Tail, it'd be twirling with Excitement right now.

While I was at the cafe, I made Treats To Bring with us. I was excited to show him My Cooking skills, and I really liked having an excuse not to return home Right about now.

"Jeez What's up With you. You look like you're gonna piss yourself-" "I'm sorry Katsuki, I guess I'm just excited."

"We're just training-"
"We're not Just training silly." I pulled Out the Styrofoam to-go box, throwing my back back over my shoulder. "I made These For After We finish up, We're bound to be Starving Around that time anyway-" I knew I was probably going to throw everything up so. I guess I just made this for him.

He rolls his eyes, "Yeah well, Picnics Are Daylight activities. It's almost Fucking ten-" I only giggled, "I know, but the moon Is just so pretty tonight, I really Wanna bask In its beauty While I still have the chance!" He Tisked at that, "Come on we don't have all night."

I smile, and tie my bag to A tree branch. I got out my training Clothes, and he flashed A look of confusion. I Narrowed my eyes, Motioning for him to turn around with my index finger.

He rolls his eyes, and turns around. I Wore my black joggers And (f/c) sports Bra, The fabric Is Special; which means it shouldn't Combust like It Usually would. I didn't Like Leaving my Shirt off, but the shirt Would've definetely Gone up in flames.

When he Turns back around, he sighs. "Why Aren't you wearing a shirt-" "it'll catch on fire Okay!" I pouted. "Lets just get this over with like you said." He rolls his eyes yet again, this time flashing A half smile.

"Now, before We start training, We need to state the obvious. Your speed Is Really shitty, and You've really gotta work on Aiming Your fire." I nod, pinching my chin; letting his words sink into my mind. "But how do I aim The Fire, if my hole body Ends up in flames-" "That's the Thing. Your Going to have To keep the fire from spreading around Your body, Try focusing on One Limb. For example-"

He flexes his hand; sparks radiating from his palm. "Earlier, Did you See How I punched that dick-wad in the face? I Focused on both Punching, and activating my quirk at the same time." I pouted at that, "but that's different..your quirk Only Works with your hands..."

He Shook his index finger, "You don't have To try this if you don't want to. But I suggest you suck it up, And Focus on punching that tree, Using 2% of your quirk."

"But..The tree..it's innocent!" I grab his arm, "please don't make me hurt the tree it's so beautiful..." He groans lacing his fingers Through his Ash blonde hair. "Alright Alright. If your not going to Punch the tree-" he held out his Hand, "Then Punch me."

"But katsuki...Won't that hurt you??" He shakes his head laughing, "You think I'd Let a scronny Little Bitch Do this if I knew it was going to hurt?" I sigh, "okay...."

I ball my hands into fists, noticing My Effort, he Coaxed me through It, "try to imagine Yourself..." He trails of before snapping his Free fingers, "Roasting a marshmellow, but You're trying not to burn the shit to a crisp-" "I'm making it simmer!" He nodded, "Now your getting it."

I Take a deep breath. My fist moves before I Had the Chance to question My own actions, he Nods, "good, but let's try using Both fists, and pick up the pace will you? Your slower Than my Old hag of a mother-"

I nod, And Start swinging my fists repetitively at High speed. I was moving so fast, You could hardly see my fists swinging.

Roasting A marshmellow

Roasting A marshmellow

Crap it's burning

My thoughts are slurring together.

"Ever pull that Shit again, I'll Peel your Skin off, and force it down your throat."

A red petal,

A blue petal,

And a violet one.

'Please don't leave me here..'

"Your saddness Will be the death of you, just Like your family. Come with me, you have nothing left to live for."

"She's yours for the night, but don't kill her unless you Plan on Paying for her."

He was Touching me

"This is what happens When you're late."

So much blood

My fists were swinging, blue flames Emerged From them. My eyes stung, at this point everything just looked blue.
His voice Pulled me from my sea of thoughts, "TAILS- SHIT-!!" I halted my fists, the fire dispersed Immidiately.

"K-Katsuki!! I'm so sorry!!" I grabbed his hand, It was Dark black. I Felt tears pricking my eyes, "L-Let me Fix it-" I pressed my lips against his hand. I could feel the energy draining from my body, I grew lightheaded, but I brushed it off.

He Yanked his hand away, "Y-You didn't need to Fucking do that!! It was fine!!" His Cheeks were Flushed. I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly, "M-Maybe we should call it quits. I'm sure you're Hungry right about now-"

I was interupted by the Sound of his Stomach roaring, I Giggled. He Throws his arms around his stomach, "shut the hell up, no I'm not." I Giggled patting him on the back.

I put on My Second change of clothes, which consisted of A laced white blouse, and a (f/c) skirt. I could feel him watching me from behind. "Hey- The fuck is that-" I quickly shove my Tanktop "Don't worry katsuki, Just a few cat scratches." I chuckled, shoving past him playfully; throwing my back over my shoulder.

I Lie A blanket on the ground, he begrudgingly sat down. He didn't like the idea of getting something that belonged to me dirty, but I didn't really mind. I made Fresh croquettes, and chocolate. Octopus Balls. He Really enhaled his Food, it Made me feel good. Making something for someone I really care about, Knowing They've enjoyed it. It warmed my heart.

After eating we layed back looking at the Stars. "I never Understood Star-gazing. It's just floating Gas like a billion miles away, it's Bullshit-" I only giggled smiling, "of course you'd think that. Silly katsuki."

"Each star, Is a promise. The promise of life, promise of their Return; promise Of a Star-lit future. So us humans can rest easy knowing, our loved ones are keeping An eye on us. Until we have the chance to see them again." He listened intently, but tried not to show it.

I couldn't fathom why He had so much trouble admitting when he Felt a certain way about something. I could only assume it was Because he Felt like emotions were weak.

"How the hell can you Make the simplest Of Bullshit sound like a fairytale?" He flashed a look of annoyance, I only smile. "I guess I believe There's good In everything in this world. The Fearsom darkness that Comes with Night, Isn't truly Fearsom. Because the Stars And the moon are there for comfort. My brother......he's become a monster but...." I Felt my breathes hitch, I sigh Bitterly. "He was Once a kind Little boy, with A dream just like all of us. And society stole it away from him..."

He clentches his jaw. "That doesn't give Him the right to Hurt you."

I kept A smile, Mentally brushing off His words. He Meant well, he just didn't quite understand.

I Felt something tickle my hand.
I glance down, a tiny bug shivered. I brought my hand closer to get a better look. The Creature Glows, a soft Warm light, drifting into the air.

I pouted, "aww!! Wait!!" I chaced after it, at first Clawing at the dirt; crawling On the Ground, before Pushing myself onto my feet. "The fuck-" Ignoring katsuki's Natural profanity, I continue chasing after the bug.

It was Silent, only the vibration of its Wings could Be heard, most Creatures were like that.

I pounce on it, as soon as it lands on a stone. I was fearful, of peeling my Hands back. I didn't want it to fly away.

I Gently Open the crevice of my fingers to peer into the little cacoon I'd folded my hands into, pressing my eye Against it.

I yelped, feeling Something poke my eye. It Drifts into the Sky, leaving me behind.

I look up at it, "please don't go..." my voice was solemn, but The longfulness was evident. The bug shimmers, before I knew it, a sea of fireflies flew above us like they were carried in unfelt currents.

"Katsuki look!!!" He'd thrown his forearm over his eyes, probably Spacing out, but Pulls his arm back at the sound of My voice. "What The Hell are You whining about over there-" Noticing I'd shapeshifted, I propelled myself Into the air Bouncing on His Stomach. My tiny paws Probably felt weird Against his Torso, but I didn't pay any mind.

"They're just fireflies, you see them alot this time of year-" he sits up, Watching me. I couldn't Stop chacing them, they were just the Coolest Bugs In the World.

Bugs with the power To light up the night, in the same way stars do.

The treasures of life, seemed to have Caught me Off guard tonight.
I climbed up Katsuki's back, He Groans at me. "Tails, I'm not a Fucking tree-" alas, I still perched myself On his head, gazing up at The Beauty of night.

"Katsuki, look! There's steam coming from over there-" I Tapped his forehead with my paw. "What The hell do you want me To do about it?" He held a tight scowl.
"Onword!!" I pointed my Paw, towards the direction of the steam.

He lets out a tired groan, before Pushing himself Up. "Just so you know, I'm Not doing this because you Fucking said so, I'm doing this because I can. And I'm not Your God Damn horse."

I Roll my eyes, giggling. "I know, I know katsuki." We ditched my Blanket. Honestly I could care less about it; It was a table cloth I'd stolen from work because The designs caught my eye.

I let my tail fall over his shoulder as I held onto his fluffy blond hair. "So you get your tail back when you change or whatever. Right?" I nodded, pawing at it Happily. "Yes, I love my tail so much. I wish I could keep it like this..." I lept in front of him, and he halted in his tracks.

I shook my bushy tail, Revealing the other nub. My long Bushy fox tail twirls in one direction, and a Nub, where the second tail would be if it hadn't been cut off. "technically I have five tails. My brother Cut off three of them, because that's how many I had In that form. There's one Tail that remains the same through both forms, and my brother had cut that one as well as The other two. So now I have just this one, because he doesnt know about My Newer abilities just yet, like shapeshifting, and Obsorption of organic matter." He narrows his eyes, scoffing.

"-and if he finds out?" I paw at my ear sheepishly, "Uhh, Lets not worry about that too much right NOW-" I tripped over my own Paw, Tumbling down A Steep Sliding Hill. "Tails, Where the hell are you?!"

"Down here-" I was Covered in mud. I Tried climbing up The Trail, but slid back on my paws. He sighs, squatting down. I climb back up, before I Could slide back down He pinches the Scruff of my neck, Placing Me in his arms.

"Great, now my shirts all muddy-"
We Found ourselves Following The winding muddy path towards the steam, and what we found was amazing.

"Wow!! How convenient too- a hotspring!!" I lept out of his arms, Splashing Into the water. "Shit..i knew We shouldn't of-" he interjects himself Growling,
"Tails- it's getting late-"

I swim towards him, Doggy paddling. I'd forgotten about all the wounds I'd Gotten over the past few weeks. My back was Stinging, but the water felt so nice against my Fur.

I smirk at him, just about as much as a Fox Actually can smirk. Pursing my lips, I shot Water Into his face. His hair droops Down, and I bursted into a fit of giggles.
"Come On katsuki, it feels so nice. It'll get the mud off, you should try it!"

He rolls his eyes.
I didn't wanna have to do this.
But he was being a royal Buzzkill.

"KATSUKI!!" I squealed, Diving Deep into the water, as far from sight as possible. I had to make it look as serious as possible, if I wanted him in the Damn pond.

"(F/N)!!" Exactly as planned, he dives into the water after me.
I gave him a while to search for me, But I Shapeshifted just beneath the surface of the water.

Anxious for air I finally, rushed to the surface, Creeping my arms Around Him in a hug. "Its about Time, I was starting To think you were Getting bored of me." I teased nuzzling into his back.

"T-Tails- I mean. God dammit!! (F/n) don't Fucking scare me like that!!" He Roared in adgitation before crossing His arms. It was only then I realised.

"W-WHERE- OH GOD YOU TOOK YOUR SHIRT OFF?!" I Felt a nose Bleed Coming on, Hiding my face in my hands. "What's up With that? It's still me." He Turns around to face me.

My face was burning. I hid my body under the surface of the water, "I-IT'S N-NOT THAT I-IT'S JUST...UM....I-I'm-maybesortofnaked....like...kindofcompletely..." I squeaked out that last part, which made it Hard for him to understand, eventually it sank into his mind. His Face flushed, probably Since I'd just hugged him.

"What The Hell happened to them?!"
"T-They sort of slipped off in the mud earlier-"
"Why Didn't you Fucking tell me!?"
"I forgot..."
"How do you?!- Are you Fucking Shitting me?" I smile Embarrassed, rubbing My neck.
He the sighs in defeat.

"Just..uhh..." I trailed off, "Maybe don't look at my scars...can you Do that for me Katsuki?"

He Narrowed his eyes, but Realising my scars were an overwhelmingly touchy topic for Me, he nodded. I knew He'd at least try not to look at them, that's all that Really mattered.

I Turn around Shielding my body with my back. I Throw my hair over my shoulders, The Clear water Trickles against my skin, kissing my wounds. The scars on my back still Stung, but I could manage.

I'm startled When I feel Him pressing his Hand against one of them. "Katsuki!! I told you not to look!!!" "-And You know I do what I want. Right?" I roll my eyes, Sinking back into the water. "Where did Those come from?"

I sigh. The Breathe was Stifled by the water, And The oxygen escaping my lips Came out gargled. I lift my head up, "My brother does this thing where he'll..." I was ready to answer his question, yet at the Same time....I hadn't A clue How to answer it.

"He, needs my blood. His Quirk requires Obsorption of dna."
"What's going to Happen if you Fucking bleed to death??" He Snarled through clenched teeth.
I kept A warm smile. "Kitsune blood Is powerful, because it can regenerate-" "Then why Does he take it from you??" "Like I said Katsuki...We're hardly getting by right now..." "You mean You're hardly getting by, Because he's using you." He grabs my arm, "Admit it to yourself. You know What that Sadistic bastard is doing to you, it's Wrong (f/n)."

"Do you trust me katsuki?" I Still kept a bright smile, despite My anxiety. He looked shocked, and Flustered. "Yes, but I-" "That's all I need, That's all I ask of you katsuki. Your trust. So please Accept What I'm Fighting for, I'm Fighting To bring People back into this world-"

"What The hell's gonna Happen After that? After you bring them back. What are You planning on doing...or.."

"what Do you want For yourself...?"

"What do I want....

for...myself?"

Chapter Text

"To be honest, When I first started this school...I hadn't A clue what I wanted for myself....I just Felt like I was worthless...maybe I deserved to suffer.....But I saw you and Midoriya..."

She Turns to Face me, flashing A Kind smile. The kind of smile that could wage wars, and move mountains. "You two Fought Tooth and nail for your future...to be the best, to be the number one hero."

"Neither of you have succeeded quite yet, but your determination Inspired me."

"One day I must Restore My village, to its rightful glory, with its elder at my side. And I will Build onto my ancestral line."

"And then maybe We can throw you A parade of your very own. After all, you'd Be the Number one hero...and We'd have achieved our dreams."

Bakugo's Pov

Katsuki Bakugo just couldn't shake this damned girl from his mind, for the life of him.

His dream was to become Number one, to be the first. To be at the top. And her dream, Was To Restore her Home; Her dream was to save The people she cared about.

She'd be willing To risk her Life for Her friends, Yet here she Was suffering.

Today, there was A Shakey vibe Lingering Whilst he Waited For (f/n) to arrive at their meeting spot.
When She Showed up, she'd gave him a pained, Dull Smile.

She'd carry on Speaking, like Nothing was bothering her. He knew something was bothering her, but he also knew she'd deny it.

She did her best trying to avoid, revealing her back. She'd either start slowing her pace, or walk backwards. It was starting To annoy him. Eventually The pair Came to a halt in an alleyway.

"What The Hell is your problem!!" She Flinched at his voice, "(f/n)." He breathed through clenched teeth, "Show me. Now." Her ears twitch anxiously, as she covers her eyes, turning around.

The backside of her shirt was coated, with blood, It was like a pattern; a pallet of dark colors.
Knowing exactly what he was about to do, she Whirls around.
"K-Katsuki Please Don't..." he Purses his lips. Her eyes are fearful. He hated seeing her like this.

"Why Won't you Just Let me Fucking see it?! It's going to get infected you know-" 
"It's Fine! It's Not.." he gives her A stoic Look. Like he wasn't having any of this shit today. She turns back around Lifting her shirt.

Now he Knew why she was Trying to hide it.

It already Was Infected.

Her Back was Littered In Long Deep Scars. Katsuki Gritted his teeth. (F/n)'s ears Twitch at the sound, and she quickly forced her shirt back down.

He Grabs her wrist, and she winced. "This Is Too Fucking far!! TOO FUCKING FAR!!! I can't stand to see him Doing this to you!! What the actual Fuck?!?"

She doesn't Respond. Honestly she Doesn't know how. She knows what's happening is wrong, she's Willingly Enduring this pain over Some Fairytale. At least That's What Katsuki thought, but.

She was hiding More than just these wounds. each and every scar; carried venomous ties With Her past.

For the first time In a while, He watched her beaming smile slip. She merely shook her head.
Her Shimmering (e/c) orbs Watering. "I-I know...."
She heaves a long sigh, before letting her Gaze fall to the ground.

"Hey  (l/n), can you pretty pretty please do me a favor???"

I take his hand, helping him up. He shoves my wrist away, scoffing. "I'm not A Fucking toddler I can get up myself." I roll my eyes, "Yeah yeah, let's get that nose bleed taken care of tough guy." He scowled, "Tch, whatever."

Your Pov

Within the next few weeks, things really seemed to have calmed down. My home life was still, shitty. But so long as I gave my brother what he wanted, everything was fine.

Katsuki and I seem to grow closer and closer everyday. After work he helps me train, teaching me how To use my quirk. I honestly felt like I learned more from him than i ever have in class.

Sensei seems really hesitant about me. In the beginning I assumed he'd might have read my journal, and gotten skeptical of me.

Aside from the occasional one on one chat, he doesn't seem all to bothered by me. I can still sense guilt in his heart though. I knew deep-down he might've taken a peak, I just didn't want to believe that.

Two out of three, of my tails have managed to grow back. I was so thrilled, and relieved to see them again. A kitsune's tail is truly precious, I just couldn't stand having to part with it for so long. I honestly feel like it only grew back because I had help getting my wounds treated, and healed almost as quick as I had gotten them.

Having these tails really helped me to Focus my Fox fire onto specific targets. He once had issues directing his explosions when he was really young, so i guess he sort of knew where I was coming from.

Instead of worrying too much about the loss of my old journal, I invested in a new one.

It was barely scraping the end of class. I was scribbling to my hearts content; almost completely unaware of the usually Ear-splitting sound of the school bell.

A small white box with a Glimmering red ribbon is placed on my desk. My eyes widen, and I tilt my head in confusion, picking it up and studying it. "Tomorrows your fucking birthday right?? There."

I look up to find katsuki slouching over my desk, wearing an irritable expression; his hands stuffed in his pockets. I tapped tip of my eraser against my chin thoughtfully.

"Oh, that's right. Haha, I guess it completely slipped my mind..."
"-Slipped your mind?! How the hell can you forget your own birthday??-"
"Sorry! Sorry- jeez, I've just been so busy lately." He rolls his eyes.

"Well I busted my ass making you this shit. So I better see you wearing it during training." He snarls. I giggle, before teasing. "hmm, I wonder what it could be." His eyes widen for a solid second. He hinted me my gift To his own oblivion, he's definetely just now realising it too.

It was sort of cute the way he Blushed like that.

I haven't gone to the cafeteria for lunch in a really long time. I was going to skip lunch and hang around in the bathroom, but I was caught in the halls by all might.

"Young (l/n)? You should no better than to be Skipping out on lunch again-" "I'm sorry!! I-I just..." I couldn't figure out how to respond.

He crossed his arms sighing, "Come to think of it, I never see you in the cafeteria. Child, have you been eating regularly? You're going to hurt your body you know-" "I eat regularly!!
O-Or...I-I at least eat!! It's just...I forget sometimes..."

He shakes his head, "When was the last time you've Had a good meal in your system." I narrow my eyes, mathing it out in my head. "Let's see. I did eat that egg sandwich on tuesday. Then Thursday I ate those cinnamon breadsticks That were left over in the lobby at work..." I tap my finger against my chin, repetitively.

"Or was that like wednesday??- I still ate-" "You need to be eating everyday (l/n)." He points out in interjection. I sighed in defeat, "I'm escorting you back to the cafeteria, and I want you to at the very least eat an apple, or a sandwich."

I groaned, as he led me into the cafeteria.

I never really thought about How my home life has affected my eating schedule. My stomach is always hurting, so I'm almost never hungry. And when I am, sometimes I don't recognise that hunger for what it is.

I thought back to the lonely nights I spent trapped in the unsettling darkness of the cellar, smelling pizza in the other room. The hunger was just excruciating during those times in my life.

I remember asking for food, only for him to Spit back venomous Words.

"If you have a job, pay for your own Fucking food; Lard-Ass."

ack when he spat those words, they hit me Straight in the heart. I remember staring at myself, and wishing -No- Praying, that maybe one day looks actually could kill. Then all I'd have to do is take a peak at my reflection, and I'd be home free.

The more I thought about death, the more peaceful it sounded.

And now, all i can think about is trying.

Trying for my friends.

Trying for my ancestors.

Trying for the kitsune in this world who live in fear; scared and alone.

Trying, for...myself.

I had so much to live for and yet death, it was just so tempting. I missed my mother's sparkling eyes, as she sang me to sleep. I remember her caring touch, and the way she held me close.

Every time I stare death in the face, I can almost taste The afterlife. I could rest in peace with my mother...and with my ancestors. With the fallen ones.

Bakugo's Pov

Class 1A is left baffled, when (f/n) doesn't show up for almost a week.
Every day, Katsuki would wait At the stop sign for her, and the pit in his stomach would grow larger and larger.

He couldn't help the racking guilt in his chest. After leaving her behind that night, he couldn't stop trying to predict what could've possibly happened, and he wouldn't stop blaming himself.

People were definetely starting to notice his change in attitude. The fact that all he'd do in class was stare straight at the door- wondering aimlessly into thought- he just couldn't stop thinking about her.

He plays with his pen, staring at the door. Slowly but surely his eyes roll to the back of his head, and he drifts into a brief slumber.

"Katsuki....can I ask you something?"
Star-gazing seemed to be something that thrilled tails, so of course after training I'd have to put up with her bullshit.

I never said i didn't want to though.
"Sure. Whatever." I groan. She hums in response, gazing up at the sky.

"Do you actually know Why I care so much about you guys??"

I shrug, staring up at the sky. Her gaze won't seem to waver from the moon. The way her hair blew in the wind. I found myself gaping at her, for a moment.

"It's been a while since I've lived in an actual family. So I guess in a way....they really are my only real family." I listen intently. She turns to face me.

I'm captivated by her (e/c) orbs.
It's like she has me Trapped.

I just can't Fucking look away.

How could someone be so

Beautiful....

What The hell is happening??

"But Katsuki....You're my hero."

I felt my cheeks heating up, as she turns to face me. She spoke these words with starlit eyes, and her hair seemed to hold some sort of sparkling glimmer.

I sat up, anxiously. We ended up bumping noses. She giggled before teasing "Is that really a blush I see Tough guy?"

She flashes that Alluring grin of hers, nuzling into the crook of my neck, Which leaves me startled. I couldn't just stop letting my Fucking guard down around this girl. She was insanely beautiful. I, am insanely...horrible.

I'm such an ass. Why aren't I saying anything. I'm just sitting here and-

She interrupted my Pulsating thoughts, pulling me into a kiss. My heart skipped a beat- my Face was on fire; flushing Bright red. She pulls back for a brief moment, for air.

We gaze into each other's eyes, there isn't much silence. The night almost sang along with our racing hearts.

We meet lips again. This time I can almost feel the world around us shifting, in slow motion. The gears in my head are winding. I'm trying to figure out what the fuck I'm doing.

If I should keep going, because I enjoy this moment. Or I should stop, because it feels like I'm taking advantage of her helplessness.

This kiss. It felt so real.
Her lips were so soft, and she was so gentle. The aroma of sunshine, cherry blossoms drafted against my nose- as I melted into her touch.

She pulls me close, placing her hand on my chest. She looks up at me, anxiously.

"Bakugo???"

I couldn't respond. It was like the oxygen was being pulled from my lungs. I just couldn't say anything. I shake my head in disbelief. She hasn't called me this in a long ass time.

She keeps saying it.

"Bakugo??? Wake up dude-"

Young katsuki jolts his head back, oblivious to the pen stuck to his cheek; snarling, "THE FUCK-?! YOU WANNA DIE-?!" He huffs, steam practically drifting from his nose.

"-Hey man take it easy, it's just me." His red haired friend pats The Bakugo's back in reassurance. He groans, gathering his shit. He rushes to his feet throwing his bag over his shoulder. "Dude, are you okay? You know we all miss her too. She's a riot- get it??" His friend tries lightening up the mood. He shoves past him. Muttering out a "Whatever."

He stuffs his hands in his pockets, the pit in his stomach depening.

Where the hell could she be?

God Dammit, this is all my fault. I knew something was wrong with her.

And I left her.

God I'm such an ass.

Fuck no..I'm the best. I'm her hero, she even Fucking told me.

Bakugo's Pov

The ash blond listens to his teacher intently, leaning against the wall.

"I haven't seen, nor heard from (f/n) in at least a week. We've tried contacting her guardian-"
"Tch. That bastard isn't gonna tell you a God Damn thing." He grumbled looking away in adgitation.

"I talked to principal nezu. He says the only way we can really help her is if we get Proof." Responds aizawa, monotone; as always; Accept this time, his brows seemed to be knitted together in concern.

Katsuki shakes his head, clentching his jaw; "That journal you stole from her. Shouldn't what she has written in that damned thing be enough??"

Aizawa gritted his teeth. "It's filled with poems and short stories. Nothing specific."

Katsuki narrows his eyes, gaping slightly. He scrunches his Eyes closed. "And why the hell are you telling me all this?"

"You're the only one close enough to her, who'd probably figure out what's happening."

"Whatever's going on, I've got a bad feeling about it. You have my permission to snoop around. Blame any damage that might be done, on me."

Katsuki makes the contact with his teacher before nodding.

There's something about the way violin sings that sets my heart into the deepest of symphonies, deeply harrowing and torrential in the way it encompasses my body. I can't find anything as which holds as much capacity in power as does the violin. It can be both a friend, and a mortal enemy, however, for always, it will be in an accompaniment, helping one to portray their feelings.

I'm almost madly in love With the crescendo that entertains the heavy silence that settled upon the music room.

I'd never really told anyone about this hobby, but sometimes I'd skip out on therapy sessions to support this hobby- therapy sessions that I sighned myself up for in the first place.

It wasn't until after I'd realised how much I actually hated therapy, that I remenenced over this forgotten talent of mind, endulging myself in its former glory.

Present Mike only noticed my love for music when he'd caught me in class scrambling down sheet music in my journal. I expected his adgitation, and continued writing anyway.

When I was just a child, my grandmother taught me how To play the violin . She had me play in the fields to round up cattle.

I still remember the music teacher's kind words, when he looked over my shoulder at my journal.

"Wow, did you write this?" I was startled by his booming voice. I flushed bright pink, "Y-Yeah, I used to play the violin so, I guess I've gotten pretty good at analysing musical notes."

He claps his hands together in excitement, "A former violinist?! In the hero's course nonetheless? You're definetely going to have to show me these skills of yours!"

my fluffy (h/c) ears twitch anxiously at the thought of playing in front of anyone aside from myself in the mirror at the gas station. I t was in that moment I remember how badly I'd wished I was mute. Things would've probably been different.

Later on that month, he'd invited me to his classroom to play for him. So of course, there I was on the stool. I was greatful he gave me Some sort of privacy, because he waited until he Wasn't directing any classes at the moment.

With each strum, the slower my surroundings had come to be.

When I finished, my breathes seemed to have hitched deep within my Lungs.
He beamed brightly, "I am Impressed!! You're going to do great things one day. If you'd like you can stay in here the rest of your lunch-period and play to your hearts content."

"R-Really??" I stammered back. He nodded, before dispersing from the classroom.

That time, I didn't really feel any kind of pressure. I was alone. And quite frankly relieved at that.

The song that I played for present mic was something my grandmother had taught me, but the song I was about to play, was a gift for my mother.

Before she died, I was planning on giving her this song as a gift for her birthday. It was sad she didn't get the chance to at least hold on until then.

I could almost feel the sound of the vibration against my racing heart. The magical shoulder instrument, brings relaxation to my heart.

Your Pov

"HELP!!!!" I BASH MY FISTS
Against the roof of the casket- I'd paw around for some kind of button, but I knew It was pointless. This was an old cemetery.

The smell of rotting flesh permeated overnight, that's the only way I could predict the time-pass. "HELP!!! PLEASE!!!! SOMEBODY!!!!!" A migrain pulsates around the corner of my head. My throat hurt like hell, from screaming so much.

My neckwound seemed to have healed on its own, but my hand Still isn't back. And the sword through my chest isn't really doing me any favors.

I was shocked To hear the pattering of footsteps nearby. My ears twitch anxiously. "Is....Is anybody Out here-?!"

Relief sinks into my veins, my emotions spiral as I pound my fists against the casket, bursting with tears.

"PLEASE!!! I HAVE TO SAVE HIM!!!-" my voice was squeaky, It made me feel so pathetic. I was definetely on death row right now. I needed to get to Katsuki as soon as possible.

If my brother knows, he won't stop looking for me. He will kill him.
The only one that can stop him, is the sword that's in my body- he knew I was going to try to take it out by morning. But he didn't know anyone would actually find me.

There was only one other person At UA high, that knows the location of this cemetery.

I can hear Him, clawing through the dirt. It wasn't like him to get his hands dirty like this, I was so relieved.

Bakugou's POV

"You're saying he, kept her in a cellar???"

"WHY THE HELL DOES IT SOUND LIKE YOU DON'T FUCKING BELIEVE ME-?!"

"I'm not saying I don't believe you-"

"WELL IT SURE AS HELL FUCKING SOUNDS LIKE IT!!!!" Bakugou katsuki, was beyond enraged. He was mortified. Of course he'd blame no one but himself for this. He was the only one who truly knew, yet he chose to stay silent.

And why??

He thought he was protecting her, but it turns out, he just made everything worse. At least in his opinion.

"I'm gonna send someone down there to take a look alright?? You go home and get some sleep. Your grades are slipping." The ash blonde scoffed, Mashing the end button- it was a wonder he hadn't already shattered his phone screen yet.

Cramming it in his pocket, he Loiters home; Annoyance evident in his features.

As soon as he gets home, he rushes straight to his room, ignoring his parents. The entire way he just stared at the flashdrive, gritting his teeth anxiously.

'Katsuki....what's wrong??'

It was like he could hear her voice. It was driving him insane. Knowing she's out there somewhere, being unable to contact her in anyway whatsoever.

It was almost like she was....dead

He gritted his teeth so hard, he barely chipped a tooth. Wincing, he huffs, collapsing into his bed. He stared at the flashdrive, toying with it in his hands.

'Just watch it....silly hedgehog.'

He lets out an exasperated groan after fourty five minutes of hesitation.
He slides out his laptop, throwing on his headphones. He pops in the flashdrive with a huff, typing in his password.

Staring bitterly into the Gleaming screen, he mutters indistinguishible swears before talking to himself, under his breath.

"-This better not be some kind of Shitty suicide video- I swear I won't forgive her if she-"

'Uhhh, is this thing on??'

"(l-l/n)-?! What on earth were you doing so far out here-" Iida holds my shoulders, gazing into my eyes; concern etched onto his features. His eyes widen, and he grabs my wrist studying It closely- "W-What happened- W-Who did this to you-?!"
I shake my head before squealing frantically- "IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!"

"TAKE ME TO KATSUKI!!! NOW PLEASE TENYA-" he furrows his brows before shaking his head, "You're thinking of bakugou right now when you're the one with a blade in your chest-?! I must rush you to the hospital-"  "NO!!!" I shove him away, shaking my head.

"Iida You HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME!!!"

"HE IS GOING TO DIE!!!- DON'T YOU HEAR ME-?!? PLEASE JUST TAKE ME TO HIM I SWEAR I'LL DO ANYTHING I HAVE TO SAVE HIM!!!"

The titan stares down at his friend in shock. He scrunched his eyes closed before sighing, "if this is severe, We can call the pro's for-"  "IIDA THIS IS SOMETHING THEY CAN'T DO!!!!!"

He clentched his teeth. (L/n) has always been a reliable friend to him. It was only fair, he did the same in return. He never thought he'd do something to break the rules for anyone, but For her. He was willing to do just about anything.

So he purses his lips before nodding.
"Alright then...Hop on my back, I'll get us To his subway station as fast as possible- I do not know of his Current location though." I nod profusely, I tried getting on his back but it was hard.

I squeaked, the sword Sank farther into my chest the more I leaned against him but I didn't care. I was willing to do anything to save him.
