The royal twins

23

Once we reached the woods, Kiri set me on the ground. I looked around. Eri stood behind Katsuki and held his pants leg.

"Shoto?"

"___," he grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug.

"I-Is he dead?" Eri asked meekly.

"Yea," Kiri said.

"Who did it?" Shinso asked.

It seemed as though I was snapped out of a trance. "Is everyone alright?! Where's Keigo?"

"Right here," he said.

"I'm sorry," I said. "Let me heal your wounds."

He kneeled down in front of me. "Princess, you were the one that defeated Chisaiki Kai. I will be honored to serve you, Master."

I kneeled down next to him and began healing his wounds. "Master? Uhm, how about we just be friends?"

"Friends?"

I nodded. "Friends. It's like," I paused. "We protect and care for each other. We value each other's feelings and opinions."

Keigo nodded. "I think I understand. Thank you."

I nodded and stood up. "Kiri?"

"I'm pretty much healed," he said.

I nodded. "Alright. We should leave."

Eri walked over to me and tugged on my shirt. "Princess?"

I smiled and looked down at her. "My name is ____."

"____. Where are we going?"

"To the castle," I said before I picked her up. "You'll get to meet the king and our siblings."

"B-but I'll hurt everyone!"

"Kiri will help you," I said. "Don't worry."

She nodded slowly. "A-Alright."

I sat on the ground with my knees pulled to my chest. Toya crouched down and looked at me. "Murderer," he hissed.

"I did it to save Hawks and Eri."

Toya began to glitch, one moment he looked like Toya, the next, he looked like Dabi. "You did it because I told you to," he said with a chuckle. "You're a killer."

"No, it had to be done," I muttered.

"Murderer!" Dabi yelled. No- Toya yelled it. No, it was Dabi, but-

I screamed.

"_____!"

I sat up and gripped my chest. My hands shook and my heart was beating fast.

"Hey, it's okay." I was pulled into a hug. "K-Kiri?" I mumbled before I hugged him tightly. Heavy tears rolled down my cheeks as he rubbed my back.

"It was just a dream," he said.

"I-I'm a murderer," I muttered.

"It's alright. I am too."
