Uhhh I think I fucked up and skipped a chapter??? I went to go see if I had a draft and this said it had never been published... So this is chapter 23! Super sorry for skipping it cuz it's kinda hella important... Please forgive me I am just a rat in a world of fancy mice 😔

⚠️ Trigger warning ⚠️
More r@pe. More violence and bl0od. Yeah... Sorry.

Kirishima POV:

Tonight is the night. I have everything ready. A backpack with night vision goggles, a gps and small tracker I saved from Momo, a water bottle and last of all, a long, serrated knife. I'll be damned if I'm not prepared. All I need now is-

"Kirishima! What did you want to see me in secret for!"
"Shut the heck up Kaminari! Are you crazy, someone'll hear!" I hiss, yanking him into my room and quietly closing the door.

"Woah man, you look like shit," he says, completely ignoring my warning. I just sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose, already on fucking edge. If I was honest I knew he was right. I had evaded Mina at lunch that day and forced her out of my room when she brought me dinner, and last night I didn't sleep a wink. The bags under my eyes could rival Shinso's and I'm sure I looked frailer. I didn't care. My Katsuki was gone, and I was not just gonna sit here patiently waiting for the pros to figure it out.

"We're going to find him"
"What-"
"We're going to find him." I growled, glaring at him. He stared at me, dumbfounded.
"- okay." I looked at him in shock.
"What? I thought you would at least try to fight me first-"
"Kiri, look at you. You're basically fading from existence right in front of my eyes, I can see that you need to find him as much as you can see it. Plus, there's no way I'm missing out on having this over his head for the rest of our lives" he says. I snort. Why did I expect any less from my best friend?

"So what's the plan?"

Bakugo POV:

I gasp, body shaking and twitching every other second, head tucked down into my chest and blood dripping into my eyes. I feel another shock and my head whips back, bare skin sizzling against metal as I let out another scream, too exhausted to haul my torso off the chair. I feel faint from blood loss, looking down and seeing nothing but red dotting my shorts as the warm liquid drips into my face. Still, I manage a twisted smile, licking the blood off my lips.

"That's all you got, crusty? Come on!" I scream and feel a cold blade shove it's way through my ribs, causing my stomach to turn. The blade couldn't have been more than three inches long, they needed me alive, but still, I wouldn't be surprised if they hit something important. I heard the blade grind against my rib as it was yanked out and screamed.
'so that's what they hit' I thought as I gritted my teeth against another cry. I had to be strong. Strong for Eijiro. Still, I couldn't help the whine of pain that slips through my teeth as my hair was yanked up, forcing me to look in the cold blue eyes of... Dabi.

'oh no'

He smiled at me, the staples in his cheeks stretching and pulling at his skin, causing little creases at every one. I threw up right there, right onto the floor in between us. They had fed me that morning, well, Toga did at Shigaraki's order. So much for that sustenance. He looked down and frowned, almost scarier than his smile, but not quite. He looked back up at me and hit my head against the chair, hard. All I could register before I blacked out was his smile growing again, and his hands going down to unshackle me.

I awoke hours later with another searing pain in my lower back. I looked down and groaned as I saw more hand shaped burns covering my chest and thighs. There was hardly any peach skin on my body anywhere. It was all covered with bruises or blood or burns. I didn't look human.

I didn't feel human either. I felt like a toy. A plastic disposable figurine that could be thrown into a dumpster fire to entertain some stupid teens. I flexed my fingers, groaning at the pain that came from my bruised hands. At least I could still feel them. I moved my feet, sucking in a breath through my teeth at the searing pain that shot up my back. Well, my legs still work. Nothing was broken as far as I could tell besides a couple ribs, surprisingly. The door opened and Toga came through, in pajamas. I subtly looked to the crack in the ceiling and noticed it was dark outside. When I had passed out I remember it looking like midday.

What had Dabi done to me?

My thoughts were interrupted by a short blonde walking over to me, laying her blanket down before crawling into my lap and wrapping me up in her arms. I sighed and leaned forward, hugging back as best I could. This had become a sort of routine for us. She came in every night and had her fun on my back, which was numb at this point, and I got to feel a small amount of comfort for a short time. I felt like crying but nothing came out. I was too exhausted. I waited, but never felt anything on my back, just her hands tangling into my hair.

"Toga?"
"Don't join us." She said. I blinked, shocked.
"What?"
"Katsuki, whatever we do to you, don't join us. You're too good, ok?" I heard her sniffle and I nodded in bewilderment. She quickly got up and left without another word, leaving her blanket on my lap. I stared at the door long after she left in shock before slowly falling into sleep, the blanket at least keeping my lower half warm.

Kirishima POV:

Me and Kaminari are currently seated on the top of a roof next door to the destroyed bar. It's nighttime now, and still no movement from the rubble. For the eighth time in an hour Kaminari asks me what we're doing here.

"Dammit Kaminari, we're watching for anything from the bar." I spit, looking back through the night vision goggles at the ever still rubble, desperately scanning for a sign of movement. The goggles are ripped from my hands and Kaminari throws them onto the ground, thankfully not breaking them but glaring at me angrily.

"Kirishima, we've been here for three hours, watching a pile of rocks! He's not here! Let's just go back to the dorms, get you some sleep-" he's cut off by me grabbing his collar, holding him up to my level.
"Dammit Kaminari you asshole! I know he's here, we just have to be patient! I can feel it!" I shout, voice echoing off the roof. He still glares at me, holding onto my wrist and zapping me lightly. I yelp and drop him, watching him drop into heap before he stands back up, brushing his pants off and shaking his head at me. "Come on man, this isn't you. You're tired and I know you want bakugo back but staying up here all night isn't going to do anything!" I start to get angry before I realize he's right. I sigh, tears building in my eyes and spilling over before I can stop them. I sob, twisting my hands together harshly. He sighs and walks over to me, holding out his arms. I take a step into them, sobbing into his shoulder as he rubs my back.

"I know kiri, but he's strong. He'll be ok until the pros get to him." I just nod, choked sounds coming out of my throat every time I try to talk. He just shushes me, hand reaching up to stroke my hair maternally. I grip onto him and sob harder.

"I promise kiri, he's strong enough to get through this. He'll be home safe before you know it. I know he can survive this, all the hard ass stubbornness he has will keep him saf- whatthefuckisthat"
I sniffle and wipe my eyes, pulling back to look at what he was gaping at and seeing a slight haze of blue light where the bar is through my blurry eyes. I gasp and rub my eyes harder, trying to clear them. Kaminari puts a hand on my shoulder and I look up, completely dumbfounded at what I saw. It was... Dabi and Toga, walking out of a door that didn't use to be there. As soon as Toga's hand left contact it dissappeared again with that same light haze. I gasp, turning to him with new tears in my eyes and I see the same in his.

We found something.

Big sister toga? Yes. She's a psycho but I love her. If anyone comes at me saying how I can't hate Dabi and love toga I'm deleting your existence. Toga is precious and I won't be arguing.

Oh yeah and they found bakugo.
