I Can't Cope Alone (A Kamijiro FanFic)

Chapter 8

URARAKA'S POV

"Do you think something happened?" Deku asked Iida and me. "Probably. We must search for them!" Iida declared, waving his arms around robotically. Kirishima and Bakugo came in just then. "That's what we've been doing for the last twenty minutes." Kirishima chimed in. Yaoyorozu and Ashido rushed into the room. "We were checking the dorms and we saw Hagakure but she got away with Ojiro before we could do anything!" Ashido yelled. "What?!" I cried. Everyone started to get up and head to the dorms, but Iida stopped Kaminari, Jiro, and Todoroki. "Halt! If they're after you, you shouldn't go! You saw how Hagakure beat up Ojiro that day!" He had a point. "Yeah. You three, stay here." Tokoyami agreed. Kaminari made a face. "No way!" he argued. "I agree with Chargebolt," Todoroki said, "We can't just stand by and watch our classmates fight to protect us." I wasn't sure, but I thought I saw Jiro give a small nod of agreement.

KAMINARI'S POV

"That's it, we're coming." I said resolutely. I was a bit surprised that Todoroki agreed with me, but we were forced to stay in the room anyway. "I don't like this!" I yelled, pacing. Todoroki sat down in Asui's empty desk. "I-" The wall Jiro was leaning against completely shattered, like glass, sending her flying. She fell into me, and I caught her. A blush quickly blew across my face. Hagakure was standing where the wall used to be, Ojiro being dropped limply to the ground from her arms. "Sorry... not sorry." Hagakure said. Her voice was one of those bitter-sweet-evil tones. A drop of blood landed on my shoulder. It was from Jiro's head. It was big, luckily. Todoroki's left side was encased in fire. "YOU CRAZY WANNA BE HEROES! HAH! YOU'LL NEVER WIN!" Hagakure screamed. I saw Ojiro struggling to get up in front of her. The bandage around his head was soaked with blood, his tail bandage had completely unraveled and his eyes were bleary. He was about to pass out.

"S-She isn't affected by anything. You can't touch her." Ojiro muttered. Todoroki sent ice across the floor and at Hagakure, but it went right through her. Ojiro was right. Hagakure laughed. "YOU STUPID IMBECLES! IT'S BEEN SO, SO OBVIOUS THIS WHOLE TIME!" she screamed. She kicked Ojiro in the head, knocking him out completely. His eyes stayed open and bleary though, freaking me out a bit. "I WILL END YOU! I WILL END YOU ALL! YOU'RE ALL JUST USELESS FREAKS!" Hagakure screamed. "What do we do? We need Eraserhead to even stand a chance." Todoroki breathed. "We have to hold our ground until reinforcements come. There's no way we can do this on our own." Jiro whispered. "Wait, Jiro, you can use your quirk underground. I think the balls of her feel are accessible." Todoroki replied quietly.Jiro pulled away from me and lowered her earphone jacks to the ground, hooking them in. She closed her eyes and sent several sonic vibrations into the ground. Sound couldn't travel through the ground very well, but she must've made it extremely loud because I could hear it as well. Todoroki's theory was right. "YOU! I CAN'T- ARGH!" And just like that, Hagakure lunged forward, stole Todoroki, retrieved Ojiro, and disappeared.

JIRO'S POV

Kaminari and I were being questioned by the whole class in the common room. We were both exhausted. "I can't believe she took Todoroki and Ojiro. At the same time! Bruh, you two are so lucky!" Kirishima cried. "I give all props to Jiro for our safety." Kaminari muttered. His eyes were closed and he was laying on the couch next to me. I couldn't help but lay down either.

I was so tired. "Please. Give them some space. They had a rough day." Mr. Aizawa said as he walked in. "You can walk them up to their rooms. It would be the best option." he followed. I didn't feel like getting up. Kaminari didn't either. Uraraka grabbed my left arm and Yaoyorozu grabbed my other. "Jiro, you're burning up." Uraraka said. "Kaminari is too." Sero said from somewhere behind us. "They just need rest. Like Mr. Aizawa said, ribbit." Asui said. "Right." Tokoyami agreed.

Yaoyorozu and Uraraka carried me back to my room. I didn't know why Kaminari and I were so drained all of a sudden. Maybe it had something to do with Hagakure's quirk. "Thanks." I murmured as Uraraka held the door open and Yaoyorozu lifted me into bed. It was like I had no energy left. Weird. Uraraka and Yaoyorozu had left, but I heard Kirishima and Sero talking as they brought Kaminari back to his room. "If Hagakure got Todoroki and Ojiro, Kaminari and Jiro are next, I'm sure of it." "But they're feverish. I don't get it. It doesn't make sense." "I know."

                                                                                           ...

I woke up about nine hour later. Taking my temperature, my fever had dropped a bunch but hadn't completely gone yet. I decided to text Kaminari to see if he was okay.

Jiro: u ok

Kaminari: yea idk y i got all weird

Jiro: me 2 is ur fever gone

Kaminari: completely u

Jiro: still there

Kaminari: -_- oh then go back to sleep i will stop texting u

Jiro: ok thx ttyl

Again, I fell asleep pretty quickly. But I was safe from nightmares this time.

KAMINARI'S POV

Jiro and I had almost slept through the day. Honestly, I wanted to keep talking to her, but if she still had her fever, she probably should rest, not text some random boy who's secretly crushing on her. I came into the common room, where mostly everyone was."Kamibro! You okay?" Kirishima asked as soon as I sat down. "Oh. Yeah. That totally came out of nowhere." I answered. Aoyama stood in front of me. "Cheese?" he asked, offering me a small platter filled with weird-looking cheese. "Cheese doesn't help fevers." Tokoyami replied. Aoyama scoffed. "Cheese helps with everything, mon ami." I pushed the plate away from me. "Nope." I said. I wondered what was going on with Todoroki and Ojiro now... 

TODOROKI'S POV

I woke up in a dark room. It took a little over two minutes for my vision to adjust in the shady place. Ojiro was lying next to me, a puddle of blood forming around his head. He was unconscious. A faint trace of candlelight approached. It got closer. And closer. Closer yet. Closer. It was Hagakure. She smiled. I saw it. It was a Cheshire Cat's grin. "Todoroki... sweet, little Todoroki. I'm surprised monkey man isn't awake yet." Her voice was a mixture of salt and sugar. She stared at the candle. I saw her eyes. They were bright yellow. "I've been waiting for you to wake up for a while so I could do this. I can't do it while you're sleeping after all." She kicked Ojiro.Hard.

She touched my chin and lifted it with her finger. "Oh, Todoroki... I'm afraid that after this, you won't remember anything." Her eyes started swirling. I made the mistake of looking at her even for a split second. I was fixed. I couldn't pull my gaze away from them. "That's it. Don't look away," Hagakure cooed. "You can't look away." My hands shook. I wanted desperately for the ability to look away or for Ojiro to miraculously wake up and get me out of this. Hagakure leaned closer and whispered, "Now. How about we go find Kaminari and Jiro?"
