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

Chapter Sixteen

Third Person POV:

"Keigo, watch out!" Izuku shouted.

Keigo looked at Maura as she started glowing more, a deep rich purple.

"What are you doing?!" Keigo asks. 

Maura just grins. "Absolutely nothing." She says, before a white, smoky blast releases from her body and hits Keigo in the chest. He gets launched off Maura and over into a hedge.

The witch throws her arm out toward Tenko and a large wild pink surge comes out of her palm and hits Tenko in the face.

He immediately drops Suto's hands and releases his foot off Suto's back. Suto stands up, glancing briefly at Tenko, who was blankly staring at the ground with a peaceful expression, before jogging over to where Izuku, Shouto, and Touya were. 

Izuku throws his body over Touya's body, but Suto just grabs Izuku's arm and throws him to the side. Izuku yelps as he gets thrown into a hedge as well. 

Suto bends down and picks Touya up, before turning and being face to face with the tip of Izuku's sword, which Shouto was holding. Suto chuckles nervously. 

"No need to get hostile." He says.

Shouto sneers at him. "Sure, put the King down and we won't get hostile." He says.

Suddenly a duo of intertwining light pink lights hit Shouto in the back, making him drop his sword and falling to the ground. Izuku, who had gotten out of the hedge, yelps in outrage. "Shouto!" He cries, rushing to his lovers aid.

Suto runs over to Maura and lets the witch touch his shoulder, before the three, Touya again having been heaved over Suto's shoulder, disappears with a loud cracking sound.

Izuku looks around frantically before looking down at Shouto, who groans and sits up, holding his head.

"Shouto, are you alright?" Izuku questions.

The peppermint haired boy looked up at the greenette, before his normally brown and teal eyes pulsed hot pink, and his pupils reformed in the shape of a heart.

"Izuku!" He cries, grinning at latching onto the greenette's arm.

The latter frowns. 

"Love spell." Keigo says, suddenly right next to them. Izuku refrained from jumping in shock. "I've seen these before." He pulls Shouto off Izuku, making the peppermint haired boy frown, and pulling his eyes open wider. Shouto's eyes pulsed again, almost like a heart beat. They were dazed looking and were sure as hell glowing pink. And the heart shaped pupils were pretty strange.

Izuku frowns. "Do we need to get Ochako here again?" He questions.

Keigo shakes his head. "No, these tend to wear off in a few hours to a day or so." He explains.

Shouto grins again at Izuku. "Izu-kun!" He gushes, his glowing eyes squinting slightly as he grins ear to ear. "You're so cute!" He latches onto Izuku's arm again.

Izuku blinks a few times in confusion. Keigo would've laughed if he wasn't so angry at the moment. He looks over at Tenko, who was still standing and staring at the grass with a thoughtful expression.

Keigo stands up and walks over to the younger boy. He steers him over to Shouto and Izuku. 

"Tenko has a quick spell on him." Keigo explains. "Ochako used it on Touya back in the Aizawa Kingdom, it's supposed to pacify the mind. It only works a few minutes, I think."

Izuku nods, and Shouto automatically nods with him.

And just like that, Tenko blinks, and he looks back to normal. "Huh?" He questions. "What happened?" Keigo's face darkens. Tenko's falls. "Oh. Oh no." He says, looking around the empty area. "They got away?"

"Yes." Izuku answers.

"We need to find Natsuo!" Tenko yelps. "He's probably hurt if he wasn't with Touya!"

...

The moment they found Natsuo under all the rubble, with a large bump on his temple, Tenko rushed forward and knelt next to him.

"Natsu?" He questions. 

The boy groaned in pain, shifting and trying to push the rocks off himself. Tenko grabs a bigger rock and pulls it off the prince.

"What happened?" Natsuo grumbles out through his gritted teeth.

Keigo crouches next to him on his other side and helps pull more rocks off him. "We found Touya, but then lost him." He says. Natsuo frowns. Keigo's hand pricks itself on a sharp thorn, which makes him frown and look down at it.

"What's this?" Tenko questions. He pulls at the purple vines. "Did that witch do this?"

Natsuo nods. Izuku grabs his sword and starts cutting through a vine, and Keigo takes his dagger to do the same.

"She cast a spell on Touya right before the pink boy knocked me out." Natsuo says after his left arm gets freed.

Keigo frowned. "What was it?" He questions.

"I don't know, but Touya got all deathly looking." Natsuo says. "I'm not sure. Then the pink boy came in and attacked me."

Izuku blinks. "There's no way Touya's dead then." He says. "That spell was probably the spell she cast from before, or maybe it's something else. She was just teasing us when she told us she killed him."

"She killed Touya?!" Natsuo exclaimed, terror and worry painted on his face.

Keigo's face turns miserable. "We don't know.." He says.

Izuku stared at the older two, a determined look on his face. "They wouldn't kill him like that." He insists. "They didn't when they first got him, so they probably need him for something."

Shouto, in his love spell state, nods wholeheartedly.

Natsuo's legs and right arm get freed, letting him sit up. "What's wrong with Shouto?" He questions, squinting at his brother.

"He's under a love spell." Keigo explains. "It'll come off, don't worry."

Natsuo frowns but nods. Izuku smiles nervously. Tenko helps Natsuo up and the group looks around at the rubble. Keigo stands up and places his dagger back on his waist. 

"Where have the guards been?" Natsuo says. "The castle is almost empty."

"They probably are dealing with the bombs." Izuku reasons. 

Natsuo raises an eyebrow. "Maybe, but there should be more than just two guards guarding the King." He says. "Where's the royal guards? Or Shouto and I's personal guards?"

"Maybe they got preoccupied?" Izuku says.

No one says anything for a moment. "I want to check on Fuyumi." Natsuo says. 

"We can go check on her." Tenko says. "But I think we should make sure we're safe first. We don't know when the bombs will start again, or the two people will do something.

Natsuo nods. "Alright, but then we have to look for Touya."
