My King || MHA AU|| /Sequel to My Poet/

Chapter Eight

Third Person POV:

After narrowly avoiding several guards(sometimes having to jump into an air duct), the trio made their way to the hallway Keigo knew.

"He should be in one of these." Keigo say quietly.

Izuku glanced down the corridor. "There's twelve doors." He says. "How do we know that someone is in one? We might get caught if we walk in the wrong door."

Shouto and Izuku look at Keigo. "Well this hallway is for special prisoners that they disguise as guests." Keigo says. "Anyone here wouldn't turn as in." He gestures to the doors. "So it won't matter what doors we open."

Izuku shrugs when Shouto looked at him. They went up to the first few doors, which were empty, but then at the fifth door, Keigo heard someone talking as Izuku went to grab the door.

"Hide." Keigo orders before he leaps up on the ceiling and hangs from a pillar ledge.

Izuku and Shouto look around quickly, before Izuku spots a small closet a few feet away. He pulls Shouto towards it, opening the door and pulling them inside. The door shuts right as the room door opens.

The cruel woman, followed by the witch, walks out. "I want guards stationed on this door." The cruel woman said. "No one is allowed in other than you, and on special occasions."

The witch nods. "Yes, Madam President." She whispers.

The cruel woman continues talking about who knows what, as the two walk down the hallway and disappear down the stairs. After a few seconds, Keigo jumps down silently.

Izuku opens the door and he and Shouto leave the closet.

The three walk over to the door and Keigo opens it, revealing a large majestic room.

In the back of the room, Touya was still sleeping against the cold floor.

Keigo rushes toward him, while Izuku stands back. "Oh my gosh, is he dead?" He asks Shouto, who moved forward towards his brother.

Keigo kneels next to Touya, gently scooping him up onto his lap. Touya stays limp, taking shallow breaths.

"He's sleeping." Keigo says.

Shouto crouches next to Keigo. "Why isn't he waking up?" He questions.

"I don't know.." Keigo says. "Touya, wake up." He tries, shaking Touya gently. "Wake up!" He shakes Touya harsher.

Izuku steps to them. "I think he's under a spell." He says. "That woman who left earlier looked like a witch I saw on TV once."

Keigo frowns in concern. "How do we wake him?" He questions.

"You can't."

The trio jolts, turning to see the witch from earlier at the doorway. Thankfully the cruel woman wasn't with her.

"What did you do to him?" Keigo growls at her.

The witch remained unaffected by the infuriated boy. "'Only the witch who casts the spell may hold to power to remove it.'" She quotes. "I put him under a simple sleeping spell, it's not dangerous."

"Undo it!" Shouto orders her.

The witch blinks. "I cannot." She says. "It is direct orders from Madam President."

Izuku frowns at her.

"Do it, or I will gut you open like a fish and hang you out to dry." Keigo warns, his voice dark and deadly. He stares at the witch with so much rage he could've blown a hole through her.

The witch raises her eyebrows. She holds her hands up. "Extingempra Annoenim." She whispers.

An lilac colored duo of lights suddenly blasts towards Keigo, but Izuku jumps in the way. The spell hits Izuku, and he tumbles to the ground.

"Izuku!" Shouto yelps.

The greenette sat up, holding his head with one of his hands with a bewildered expression.

"Hm." The witch says. "That's strange." She settles her hands down. "Your King will not wake up. Not until Madam President says otherwise."

Keigo glances at the window. They were only on the first floor.

"Izuku?" Shouto asks, solely focused on his boyfriend. The greenette blinks a few times. "Are you okay?" Shouto crouches next to Izuku, worry painted on his face. Izuku looks at Shouto. "Can you hear me?"

The witch steps forward, and Keigo and Shouto snap their heads towards her. "Your friends are not in the position to leave." She says. "Turn yourself in, it'll be a less painful death."

Keigo frowns at her. "No." He says. The next part he whispers. "Shouto, jump out the window on the count of three, and grab Izuku with you." Shouto nods slightly. "One," The witch starts walking towards them. "Two," The witch frowns at them, holding her hands out again. "Three."

Keigo pulls the limp Touya with him as he jumps out the window, breaking the glass. Shouto follows immediately after, pulling a bewildered Izuku with him.

They fall for a moment, before landing on the grass and rolling slightly.

Shouto heard an annoyed shriek from above, but paid no attention when he realized they were still rolling down.

Izuku yelps something unintelligible as both he and Shouto rolled quickly into a bush. Shouto spits out a leaf and sits up.

"Shouto, are you okay?" Keigo whispers from a bush right next to them.

The peppermint boy looks at Izuku, who was still looking extremely perplexed. "Yes." Shouto says. "I think. Is Touya-nii okay?"

"As okay as he can be." Keigo responds.

Shouto shifts himself and Izuku yelps again. "Shush." Shouto says.

He pulls Izuku out of the bush, and Keigo pulls Touya out of the bush. Izuku blinked. "Is he okay?" Keigo frowns at Izuku. "What did that lady do to him?"

"Everything spinning is." Izuku mutters.

Shouto and Keigo frown at him. "She did something," Shouto says. "What was that spell? I've never heard of it."

"Where do we go now?" Keigo thinks aloud. "Do you have any witch friends, Shouto?"

Shouto frowns. "One of Izuku's friends practices witchcraft, I think." He replies after a moment.

Keigo looks down at Touya, who was lying in the grass. "Where does the friend live?" Keigo asks. "We're going to have to walk the way, since we don't have the horses anymore."

"Orarako.." Izuku mutters.

Shouto blinks. "Uraraka. That's the friend's name." He says. "And she lives in the East village of our kingdom, but I've heard she goes to the Aizawa Kingdom all the time, so let's go to them first."

Keigo nods, and scoops Touya up in bridal style. Touya's head rolls into Keigo chest, and Keigo frowns in concern.
