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

Chapter Seventeen

Third Person POV:

Maura and Suto were waiting in a large room, the witch pacing angrily.

Touya was slumped against the floor. But the spell cast on him was fading, so his skin was less ashen and more his normal color. And his eyes weren't rolled back anymore. They were closed normally.

"What is taking them so long?" Maura exclaimed. "We've been waiting here for hours."

Suto shrugged, nudging the unconscious Touya with his shoe. "We need to wait for the next stage. Otherwise," He made a slicing motion over his neck with a gagging sound. "You know, off with her head."

"Why is our rendezvous point still in the Todoroki Kingdom?" Maura questions. "It would be better to be out of it completely."

"Our client is in the Todoroki kingdom." Suto says for the forth time. "And apparently they can't leave. I guess they lost the first Todoroki when they tried it once and now they want us to do their dirty work." He kicks Touya rougher on the back of his head, and Touya's head rolls slightly.

Maura grimaces. "It's not our fault they failed." She complains. "Since when does the Capital even make deals with criminals anyway?"

A ding sound came from beyond the door. Both Suto and Maura look towards it. "Come in." Suto says.

The door opens, and in comes a sixteen year old girl with dirty blond hair that was in two messy buns. She was holding a large trash bag in one hand and a knife in the other. The girl gave the two older people a crazed grin as she danced toward them.

"Hiiii!" The girl says. "I'm Himiko Bakugo! Pleasure meeting you." She eyes Suto up and down. "Ooo, you look delicious. Can I stab you?"

Suto blinks his eyes, startled. "No," Maura answered for him, stepping between them. She crossed her arms. "Are you our client?"

Himiko pouted. She swished her knife around her fingers.

"Are you?" Maura asked again, narrowing her eyes.

Himiko grinned again. "No, silly, I'm just a helper!" She says, throwing the knife in the air and catching it. She tips it toward Touya. "Is that the little ruler?" She asks, puckering her lips and looking up at Maura.

"Alright." Maura says. "Give us the money and we-"

Suto suddenly grabbed Maura by the back of the shoulders and pulled her away from Himiko, who had just launched forward and slashed the air where Maura had just been.

"Ah man.." Himiko said, pulling back.

Maura scowled at Himiko. "How dare you try and attack us!" She exclaims, pulling up her hands as they start to glow purple.

"Why would you do that? This is business." Suto says, frowning at the blonde girl.

Himiko giggles. "No one said anything about business not being bloody, silly!" She says. "My boss said to terminate you!" She launches forward and swings at Maura again.

Maura swipes her left hand in the air and Himiko's hand holding the knife glowed purple and flew into the air. But not before the knife had sliced the bridge of Maura's nose. The witch cried out in outrage, and flung Himiko into the wall.

Himiko got up rather quickly, and threw her knife at Suto, lodging itself in the pinkette's shoulder.

"Ah!" Suto exclaimed. He pulled the knife out and threw it to the side. The split second of distraction on the two's part made it possible for Himiko to rush over to Touya and her trash bag, scooping up the king in the bag before jumping towards the window.

Maura threw her hand to the side and her magic caught Himiko's wrist. "Not so fast." Maura mutters.

But then Himiko pulled a second knife out of her bag and threw it at Maura, slicing the witch on both of her hands, making her break concentration.

Himiko fell down and into a bush. Her head popped out and she glanced around. A huge cliff was to her left and a large waterfall was to her right, with a lake in between. Toga pulled the trash bag holding Touya in front of her, and she dropped a small pearl inside the bag before tying it closed. She then heaved the bag over her shoulder and jumped into the lake.

The water was at least fifteen feet deep, and Toga plunged around ten feet down.

Inside the trash bag, Touya's eyes slowly crept open. His skin was back to normal, meaning the spell ran out.

Two seconds went by before he realized where he was. Or the fact he didn't know where he was. It was pitch black and there was water everywhere. Touya opened his mouth to yell, but choked on the water. He could breath through his nose, but not his mouth.

He moved/swam forward, making Himiko realize he was awake. Himiko had a magic object covering her nose and mouth, letting her breathe.

She was swimming in an underwater tunnel, that was only lit by a few bio-luminescent fishes and weeds.

Touya shoved at the bag, making Himiko frown. They told me he should've still been asleep. Oh well, that's why I brought backup. She thinks, digging in her pocket as she continues swimming. Himiko pulled out two strange looking things. They were very small, with a circle base but four little pokes coming out of the sides.

She stopped swimming and pulled the bag in front of her again. She stabbed a small hole in the side, just small enough for one of the objects to go in. Himiko and Touya locked eyes, and the blonde grinned while Touya scowled.

Himiko took the second object and attached it to her temple. Hello King Touya. She thought.

Touya's eyes widened as small waves of light emitted from the small object floating in front of him. Himiko's thoughts were in his head.

Can you stop? You're being annoying. Himiko thought to Touya. We still have several hours left of swimming, so stop shoving around.

Touya elbowed Himiko in the back.

Himiko rolled her eyes. She pressed the object on his forehead. It was glowing green, but now it was glowing blue.

King Touya, you should go to sleep. Himiko thought.

The waves coming out of the small object hit Touya like a wrecking ball. Suddenly, he wanted nothing more than to curl up and sleep for months. He shook his head. No, this is magic. He thought.

Sleep sounds good. Himiko thought offhandedly. Both to Touya and to herself. I'll probably take a nap when we get over to my boss.

Touya cringes as the emitted waves again hit him as if he was crushed under a boulder. Sleep does sound good.. His mind considered drowsily. Maybe we should sleep.

Himiko started swimming again. All this water is pretty thick, it kinda feels like a blanket, don't you think, Your Majesty? She thinks.

Touya's eyelids drooped down before he abruptly whipped his head up.

Himiko pouted and she swam. Why won't you go to sleep? You're so boring. She complains.

The young king's eyelids drooped again, and his body started floating downward until it kind of slumped against the bag. Where's Keigo..? Touya's mind thought drowsily. Want Keigo..

Who the fuck is Keigo? Himiko thought.

Touya teeters on the edge of being asleep and being awake. Himiko purses her lips as she continues swimming. Now all she had to do was find the checkpoint.
