Wrong place, right time?

Chapter 3

No one's POV:

Soon it became clear that Cho was going to sleep on the floor if I didn't move her now, thankfully all the patrons have left and only the league remain. The young master is in his room, probably gaming or asleep so I doubt he would care if I slipped away for awhile. So that is exactly what he did, the nomu picked up the sleeping girl and walked out of the bar and into his room. "Maybe I should get you a crib bed?" He mumbles to himself as he places Cho onto his bed and covers her up so she would be warm.

Kurogiri's POV:

"Stay..." Cho weakly raises her arm to try and grab my sleeve. I suppose just a couple minutes wouldn't hurt..

-six hours later-

I must've fallen asleep because a sudden, sharp cry jolts me awake. The room was dimly lit and I could barely make out the thrashing figure under the bed sheets. Was she having a nightmare?

I pull back the sheets slightly only to find Cho crying her eyes out and waving her arms in front of her face as if fighting someone off. I try to gently coax her into waking up, if she jolts awake she could hallucinate or have a violent fit.

She gasps for air and claws at her throat, it looked as if she was about to draw blood so I grabbed her hands and held them in place. Her eyes shot open and she looked around frantically as if searching for someone. Our eyes lock and she bursts into tears again, I instantly let go of her arms thinking I may have used too much strength to stop her fit. "It seems you had a bad dream." I said. It was obvious but I just needed to make sure she was lucid. She nods whilst rubbing the still flowing tears away.

I hum and pick her up, placing one hand on her back and the other under her backside so she doesn't fall. Her arms wrap around my metal neck piece and she sniffles into my shirt. "Why don't we go to the bar's kitchen and get some warm milk or maybe some hot chocolate?" In return all I got was a weak hum of agreement.

As soon as I stand up it become clear just how light she is, I thought maybe because she hadn't eaten much she was a little light but it seems she is much skinnier than I thought. Nothing a bit of extra snacks can't fix. When I enter the bar's kitchen I place Cho on the counter and bring out the hot chocolate powder from the cupboard. I place two spoonfuls into a cup then warm up some milk then mix it into the powder. Then I place the lid on top and stick the straw in; I have yet to acquire proper equipment for her.

She looks at me then at the cup then back at me, as if silently asking if it's okay to drink it. "You can drink it, maybe give it a moment if it's too hot okay?" She nods and takes a sip, after swallowing she takes a moment to look at the cup confused before she continues to drink it. Has she never had hot chocolate before? Well, she seemed to enjoy it because she finished the cup quickly, then began rubbing her eye with a small fist.

"Shall we head back to the bed?" She let out a small huff along with a nod. "I'm going to pick you up." Cho instantly opened up her arms to be carried and nuzzled into my neck as we exited the kitchen.

Once back in the room I place her in my bed and make sure she's covered up and warm. I watch contently as she closes her eyes and softly sighs into the blankets. It was nice seeing her sleep like this after seeing her in the alley way. Which reminds me, she should have a bath and soon, and brush that hair. I'll do it when she wakes up, in the meantime I can get some supplies for her and stock up on anything we need for the bar.

Cho's POV:

Comfy, the bed is comfy. But I don't hear misty. Where is he? I yawn and stretch before looking around the room and seeing how empty it is. It was kinda scary being alone again all of a sudden.

Maybe he was in the place we were yesterday? I climb out of bed and make my way to the door. It's not locked? Father always locked the doors at night, maybe misty forgot? I look peer outside the door and don't see anyone. Just a quick look.

I go down the hall and see the same place with all the bad water, there's already lots of people there. Most of them were there yesterday too. Still don't see misty though...

I'm about to go back to the room when I bump into someone, I bow to say sorry and try to go back to the room. But a large hand grips my shoulder tight. I tense up, then look up at the person. He was really tall, he also looked very strong. My heart was beating super fast. "Where do you think you're going brat? You run into me then you don't even bother to apologise!" His voice got louder and louder.

"I don't recognise you. Either you're new or you broke in." I shook my head. I didn't brake in! He doesn't seem to care though because he grabbed the back of my neck and threw me into the middle of the room, where everyone was. I felt something pop, my arm was dangling by my side and it hurt. It hurts!

I don't know what was going on around me but after I registered pain I started to wail. Then I felt something wet and began to cry harder. I didn't mean to! Im sorry..

Everything went black.
