Butterfly Kisses Part 1

Chapter 31: Clipping the Wings

"Oh my. What happened to these children?" A short, old lady hit Ectoplasm with a pen.

"Tamaki got injured during sparring. Hiko got mad and Mitsuki knocked her out so she wouldn't hurt anyone." Ectoplasm rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"You teachers need to learn how to handle situations better." The nurse said as she checked Hiko's temperature and took a quick glance at her body. "She's not hurt at all, so when she wakes up I'll send her to you."

"Thank you very much." Ectoplasm walked back to the PE grounds to find Rose pinning Kugutsu to the ground. "Rose, let go of her."

Immediately, the girl from Class 3-B released her hold on the puppeteer.

"Good fight." Rose held out her hand, and Kugutsu shook it.

"The next pair is Kaiyo and Takumi. You can begin."

Takumi rushed towards Kaiyo, sweat dripping from his nose. Scale-like hair swiped its opponents arm, knocking her away. Kaiyo immediately stole his sweat and twirled it around her fingers. Suddenly, the droplet grew in size creating a thin downpour of water, separating the two of them.

Takumi's hair tapped him on the shoulder trying to grab his attention, but it did not stop him. He rushed towards the wall of water, pushing his arm through it. However, he was unable to move it further. Where there used to be water, ice replaced it.

The wall folded into a cube, trapping Takumi inside. From every wall, thin shards flew at her opponent, stopping millimetres away from his face.

"You win." He sighed, his scale whip now tapping at the ice, trying to escape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She woke up on a small sofa in an office. Her antennae drooped down low, almost like they'd stopped working.

"Ah, you're awake." Recovery Girl smiled softly, but decided to tap her patients head with the pen in her hand.

"Now I am, yeah..." Hiko stared at the ground, confused. "What happened?"

The nurse seemed surprised, "What do you remember, child?"

"Tamaki was hurt and I got really mad. Everything else is a blur." A sharp jolt of pain surged through her head as she tried to remember.

"That's a sign of love, getting mad when someone you know gets hurt." The short lady giggled.

"Wh-what? No, no it's not!! He's just a friend, that's all-" There was a rosy complexion in Hiko's cheeks.

"Denial is another sign, dear."

"I'm getting some fresh air." Hiko said angrily, getting up and walking towards the door.

"Don't forget to go back and see Ectoplasm when you've finished. He'll be worried." She smiled and waved as Hiko left the office.

Her vermillion wings appeared and she fluttered down the silent halls until the reached the stairs.

'Lets test this out again.' She grabbed the blue pollen from her antennae and rubbed it on the bottom of her shoes and the palms of her hands. Grabbing the wall, she took a deep breath, and began walking up the wall.

'Yes, it works!!' Her excitement made her lose focus, and she began falling. Her wings thankfully kicked in and prevented an ugly landing, so she flew up the stairs instead.

The doors swung open and she was greeted by a gust of fresh, cold air.

'One more thing.' She thought, red pollen forming on her antennae this time. She only took a little, spread it in the bottom of her shoes and started moving. Instead of walking, she slid along the ground at a surprising speed, reaching the edge of the roof in a few seconds.

'That weird teleporting guy better not be here.' Hiko giggled to herself, watching a flock of birds fly into a tree. She was so captivated by nature that she didn't realise the figure in the shadows, where the 'weird teleporting guy' stood.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grasped Hiko's wings tightly and pulled, an incredibly vile ripping sound followed.

"Your wings are ours now~" One of the mysterious figures sang out.

The excruciating pain caused Hiko to pass out, slumped over the railing. Blades appeared from the shadows, slicing the wings to pieces.

"Whoops, nevermind~" They giggled.

Hiko was hoisted into the air and tossed over the edge. The two assailants stepped through a portal and disappeared.

As Hiko dropped past the windows, a man shouted someone's name. Thick tape dove down from an open window and wrapped around the victims waist. The user, assisted by two of his classmates, pulled as hard as they could to get her to the window, where they were able to pull her through.

The tape was originally white but became a thick crimson, stained with blood.

"Yauyorozu, a towel. Shoto, bring her body temperature back down to normal!!" A grumpy man with black hair shouted.

"Hiko!" Momo screamed as she ran to her side, Jiro and Kirishima not far behind.

"It looked like she fell from the roof!" Kirishima shouted in disbelief.

"Look at her boobs, Kaminari. And her thighs..." A boy shorter than Recovery Girl drooled as Shoto pressed his hand on Hiko's arm. Momo gently pressed a towel on her back to clean up the blood.

"Dude, get a hold of yourself." Kaminari turned back to his pervy friend, kneeling down beside Hiko's body while Aizawa placed a hand on her forehead.

"Shoto, that's enough." He said as the scar faced boy let go of her arm.

"I'll take her to Recovery Girl!" Momo said, "Sato, help me carry her!"

The tall, muscular boy stepped forward, placing one of Hiko's arms around his shoulders. Kirishima ran up and grabbed the other one.

"You keep the towel on her back!" He shouted.

"Right." Momo said, pressing the towel tightly on Hiko's back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mission complete." One of the figures said, holding the door to their hideout open for the other to walk through.

"It felt too easy." The other said, pouring a glass of water.

"Tell me about it. Her antennae didn't even pick us up." The other one locked the door.

"I feel almost sad for her but it's hilarious how weak she is."

The two of them shared a laugh.

Thank you for reading this chapter of Butterfly Kisses. I like this chapter... don't ask why but I just do.

For those who might be a little confused about Kaiyo's quirk, I've tweaked it a little bit. Instead of just manipulating water, she can increase its volume, freeze it or boil it.

See ya!!!!!!!
