My head cleared, and I looked up "Hey kid, you ok?" Staring at me was Aizawa, and Ky was by his side, starring at me worriedly. My head hurt. "Wha..what happened?" I looked around. I was sitting in a bed. The room was white. There was a small old woman at the side of my bed, holding some water. "Have a drink, dear, you look positively parched." I took the water. I didn't have the energy to argue, and my mouth did feel dry.

"Oh, stop looking at her like that, Shota,  you'll only make her feel worse, you dolt," the old woman breathed out and looked at me sympathetically, "Do you remember anything, dear?" "No..not really. I mean, I remember the reporters and, um.. stressing out then nothing..." They shared a look "what, what's wrong? Wait where's Mage?" Ky turned "y/n... we uh, how do I say this? she's- well she's gone; we couldn't find her; " "she wouldn't leave me...why are you lying? It's not funny, especially now." She looked down, and Aizawa broke the silence.

"Since you really don't remember anything, I'll fill you in. A group of students found you passed out in the grass. It was clear you were being taken or something. They didn't see anything but saw footsteps and heard chatter. We think you were drugged."

My heart dropped. Tears formed in my eyes. I wiped them away. "i- I don't.. feel well. I'm gonna go to the washroom," ky placed her hand on my shoulder, "want me to come?" "I'm ok, thanks though," I forced a weak smile and walked off.

The bathroom was empty so I slid down the wall and silently cried. My breathing hitched, but I tried to keep it even so as not to be heard.

I hated myself. I felt weak and numb, I wasn't strong enough to keep myself from freaking out because of some stupid reporters, I got myself drugged and was almost taken, I couldn't even protect myself from a stupid panic attack, and now Mage was gone, and it was all my fault. I couldn't even attempt to blame anyone because it was so clearly all my fault.

We were supposed to protect each other; that was the deal. She always took care of me, and the one time she needed me, I wasn't there.

—————————————————————-

I wasn't unfamiliar with people trying to take mage, but this is the first time the attempt was successful between her and my power; no one had actually been capable of doing it, and considering the amount of times people tried and failed, I assumed we were untouchable, that is until now...

The first time someone tried to steal her, I was six and playing at a park. My mother was sitting on a bench nearby, gossiping with her friend about whatever, when another kid approached me he asked if he could have my dragon because it was cool. Obviously, I said no. I wasn't about to give my dragon, my best friend, MY mage to some snot-nosed brat. He cried, and his mother came over.

She demanded I give mage to the kid because he was nice, or maybe because I wasn't nice, I don't know. I just tuned her out and kept building a little stick-and-sand house for some random bug I found.

Obviously, this set her off, because she crushed my sand house and snatched Mage up. This was the biggest mistake of that bitches life because two seconds later, Mage bit her and growled. If I remember correctly, both her and her kid pissed their pants and ran away; her little demon was crying in her arms about the piss and shit in his pants or something; I don't know. Moral of the story there are both losers, and when you try to take Mage, you get hurt.

Although this time is different because it is the first successful kidnapping of Mage, I will personally ensure the consequences are the same and that whoever took her will be pissing there pants crying to mommy.

Suddenly, a voice startled me out of my thoughts of being useless, etc.

"Hey" I looked up and saw Ky. "You were taking a while, and I thought I'd check on you." "T...thanks.." I managed to choke out she sat down next to me on the bathroom floor. I didn't even comprehend how gross these floors are until now, but I was already here, so I just tried to ignore it.

"You've never been this long without her, huh?" I looked up at her and she had a pained smile. I shared that same smile, frowned again, then spoke, "Yeah.. I'm worried, ky... worried that it's all my fault that she's in pain and that I'll never get her back..." Ky placed her hand on my shoulder "If I know anything about the two of you, it's that you're both stubborn little shitheads. I bet she's fighting off those assholes right now, probably biting them as we speak, and as for you, I know you'll find her when it comes to mage. You don't give up easily, and as some extra motivation, just think of how good it will feel to slap whoever took her." "Thanks, Ky...and.. I wouldn't slap them." "oh? Enlighten me, what would you do?" I grinned "Punch 'em so hard their faces change color." ky beamed back at me

"that's my girl! what'd ya say we get out of this nasty bathroom, ya?" "Yeah..."
