Zantedeschia aethiopica

Chapter 11: Taken

Upon making it back to the league, I watched as Dabi threw Bakugo to the ground, and he fell face first into the floor, a smirk played on my lips as I watched him sit up glaring at Tomura who sat at the bar not looking at any of us.

" Kage, Is she out?" He asked me.

" Yeah. I managed to stab her before we went through. Can I have a hand?" I asked him, looking down at her she looked like she had been through hell, and upon further inspection, it looked as if she was trying to say something, but no sound came out.

" Leave her. It's kicking in." Tomura said and I dropped Kaori like a sack of potatoes. Watching as her body crumbled to the ground and then for her to just sit up with clouded eyes a smile formed on her lips before it dropped and she scurried into a corner pulling her knees to her chest tears trickled down her cheeks, I changed my appearance to Akira, Kaori's mother, my hair went long and blond and my eyes went a vibrant yellow like hers. I flashed a kind smile to the girl as she looked up at me with clouded eyes, mouthing what looked like Mama. I watched as she calmed down making me give her a small smile

" Kaori, come with Mommy sweetie," I told her in a comforting tone.

" Akira?" Tomura asked and I turned around, shifting my face back to Kage. I could see his brain was fighting itself, seeing his dead aunt standing in front of him comforting his doped-up cousin. " Right, take her downstairs. She'll be safe there." He ordered and I nodded gently walking away hand in hand with Ko, she skipped along like she was four following me happily.

" Stay close to Mommy Kaori, I'm taking you somewhere safe," I told her and she nodded her head as I led her down to the basement. Once there I heard a commotion upstairs making me fear the worst. Looking at Kaori who was looking up at the ceiling just as I had before. " Stay here baby... Mama will be right back." I told her and she nodded, scrambling to a corner. Leaving the room I went back upstairs and there sat the blond bound and gagged to a wooden chair, a triumphant smirk on Dabi's lips.

" Is she downstairs?" Tomura asked before he took a sip of his drink.

" She is," I told him, crossing my arms over my chest, and giving me back my blue hair.

" Dabi... Toga... Go keep her company. Dabi, I have something for you." He said and Dabi approached him, pulling him down by the collar. Tomura whispered something in his ear and then slipped him something in the same wooden box I had been given four days ago. Dabi nodded before dragging Toga out of the room.

Watching as they made their way downstairs I glanced back over at Bakugo changing my eyes to my natural color. I watched for a reaction out of him, but there was something wrong with him, he had lost his spark. I grew seriously concerned, and I knew there was no way for me to contact the school or the heroes.

" Kage," Tomura said, snapping my attention back, making my eyes change back to the disguised look. " Why is my other cousin telling me that he doesn't remember being a part of the mission?" He asked and a shock of fear ran down my spine.

" Because the moron almost cost us the mission," I muttered and he raised an eyebrow at me facing me. In the background, I saw Bakugo's eyes glance over at me in interest. " I had done as I was told. I took Mustard to the center of the maze and then went to find him. I did, he was in some support class. I watched as he left the building. When he came outside I gave him a mask then we met up with Toga." I began explaining.

" I know this already! Tell me something new or shut up and go help the idiots with Kaori." He snapped and I glared at him.

" Fine, after I sent Toga to go get the blood I went looking for Kaori. Before I could go to far the little shit tried to rape me in the wood. He almost fucked up this entire plan!" I hissed glaring daggers at him. " So I knocked his ass out and left him in the woods. Just as we were leaving he came bursting through the trees playing the caring brother role as I dragged her through Kurogiri's warp gate." I said and he sighed, scratching his neck viciously.
