Marionette and the Blue Demon (Rewritten)

Chapter 23 A Life for A Life a Debt Needs To Be Paid

-Dabi-

I stood outside the room with the phone to my ear. There was only one person I could call that would know someone that would help Airmed.

Ring Ring..... Ring Ring... Rin-

"Hello?" On the other side was a male voice harsh and dry.

"Hands," I answered back. After my word, I could hear the male start scratching.

"What do you want? I haven't heard from you in days! You know we have-" I cut him off. There was a reason why I haven't visited LOV and that was because of Airmed. I was too into trying to keep her out of shit like this. But look where that got us.

"I need a favor." I gritted my teeth asking for help. It was so hard to ask, but it was the only choice I have.

"And why should I?" His voice was annoyed. And I could hear some voices in the background, one that might be a better help than Shiggarki.

"Just have Kiroguri port us to the hideout and I'll explain."

I heard him growl and then finally spoke. "Fine. But you owe me burnt bits." I couldn't help but feel some type of relief lifted off my shoulders. I exhale a breath that I was hanging on to that I didn't know. "Where are you?"

"The Pit," I answered, with nothing but a deadpan voice.

"Why the hell are you..." I heard him sigh. "Kiroguri portal to the Put for Dabi."

I could hear the Butler-like man agreeing. "You'll have to go to the alleyway Kiroguri has never been inside it." I looked back through the doorway.

Airmed was pale and I could see blood leaking from her eyes like she was starting to cry blood.

"Shit," I muttered out loud. I could hear meowing, meaning the cat found us. It was standing on its hind legs crying out for its master, pawing at her face.

If the cat is that panicked it means she only has hours maybe even minutes. "Yeah.... I'll meet you there." I pulled the phone away from my ear and ran into the room.

I grabbed Airmed and cradled her in my arms like a bridle style. But of course, the cat and her friend panicked.

"What are you doing!?" The blue hair girl cried out. The cat went to ratch at me but I just started running down the stairs. I tried my best to avoid annoying patrons that were drunk and staggering back and forth. It was like an obstacle course that I couldn't let touch me or Airmed.

Some came close to hitting me but I quickly moved either taking a step back or a side step. I could see her Blue calling for me but I didn't have time.

I took my eyes away from in front of me and looked at Airmed. But that was a grave mistake. Someone bumped right into us almost making me lose my balance.

Just for that, I wanted to burn the drunken ass for taking up time. I glared at the man and growled out. "Watch where you're going fucktard!" The man snapped as moved his body to punch me. But where he was gonna aim was gonna hit Airmed.

I could feel smoke coming out of my throat but I couldn't do anything other than move. I couldn't control anything that came from internally.

Then I felt a soft hand on my arm. I could feel the flame from my throat was more confident. My eyes slightly widen and then I breathed out. Blue flame swirled around my mouth like I was a dragon.

"I can help and enhance your resistance and make sure you aim right." I peeked over my shoulder and saw Airmed's friend. "Don't want you to burn her fire breather." For once I was grateful someone was helping without wanting something in return. Granted it was to only help her friend but still.
