Rise of the Phoenix

~ C h a p t e r 1 6 ~

 First. Thank you all for all of the love and comments! This was really hard for me to write. I do promise it gets better! This is actually for plot it has a reason. It is not just pain and angst for pain and angst. We promise. You shall see. It may take a little bit for happy times, but they will happen. We just have to get through the hard parts first! Anyways! We really hope you continue to enjoy and maybe join the discord? Thank you all for everything. See you all on Friday if you read Damaged not Broken! (very much crack. With angst of course. Just less painful XD ) https://discord.gg/MvE6BWr

  Izuku woke up to a furry thing on his face.

The furry thing soon let out a disgruntled meow as Izuku shifted, spitting fur out of his mouth. Izuku met the eyes of Nala and his mouth perked up a little.

"G-guess it i-is time for m-me t-to find you a h-home." Nala hissed at him and turned to face the wall, tail swishing.

Izuku's face dropped, and he tried to make his way over to Nala however, he curled into a ball at the sharp pain moving his legs caused.

Izuku frowned and curled up further.

Nala meowed again and pawed at Izuku's head before moving to his legs and sniffing his bandages.

Finding the scent satisfactory, she moved back up to Izuku's head.

Izuku uncurled just so he could raise a hand to pet Nala. He would hold on for her.

~~~

Izuku couldn't move for another four days.

In this time, Nala came and went, bringing scraps of food and cloth soaked with water, as well as bandages.

Izuku had no clue how she found these things, or how she got them back to him, but he was grateful for her help.

She was making him get better so he could save her, taking her to a home that she deserves, leaving him alone again.

Izuku was able to stand up on the sixth day without collapsing right away.

The seventh day came and Izuku was ready to leave the hiding spot but Nala was sprawled out in a bed of cloth, refusing to move.

His previous attempts to pick her up resulted in yowling and being batted at, so Izuku decided to crouch down and stare at her.

At Nala's level, he soon noticed that the back of her legs were all wet and her eyes were unfocused. Then, she started lurching forward.

Izuku panicked. What was happening? Was Nala going to die? Wha-

The lurching stopped and Nala rolled and struggled to lick one of her paws, as she obviously must be clean and beautiful all of the time. And a wet cat was not a pretty cat.

Izuku's eyes went wide as he saw a lump coming out of Nala.

'Oh-' Izuku thought, 'Nala is giving birth'

Izuku started to panic yet again, he didn't know how to help anything or anyone that was giving birth!

Izuku decided that he could not go wrong with food or water, and maybe more bedding?

Izuku stumbled out of the spot and made his way to the street. After orienting himself, he realized the fastest and best place to go look for things would be Mori's the shop.
