NOMU (kiribaku)

Where are You

"What the hell happened, I've always trusted you to get the job done without any problems." My father growled, grabbing me by the neck and slamming me into the wall after I got back from the hospital.

"There were civilians in the way, I couldnt get the job done smoothly. I'm sorry." I grabbed his hand as my throat started closing up.

"You were unnecessarily hospitalized, remember that I had to pay the bill when you could just heal yourself. Explain further." He narrowed his eyes and squeezed my throat.

"There were students from UA," I gasped for air. "I couldn't let them know I had multiple quirks so I couldn't fight as well. Once I was in the hospital, healing myself would look suspicious." I whimpered.

"Did anyone see you use other quirks." He watched me intensely.

"No." I swallowed the knot in my throat as he continued staring at me for a minute.

"If I find out your lying... You're dead.... And so is anyone who learns our secret." He glared at me before letting go and stomping off.

I fell to the floor and helt my neck feeling it become sore.

I let out a shaky breath and trudged up the stars to my room, pulling out my phone as I fell onto my bed.

Kirishima

>hey
>hey
>did things go well with your dad?
>...
>not exactly.
>What happened?
>are you ok
>I'm fine..
>he threatened me, because someone could've seen my quirks.
>did you tell him that I knew
>of course not.
>he'd kill you and me if he knew

I sat up and grabbed a bottle of water off my desk and gulped half of it down in one drink.

>can we meet up somewhere later?
>Why
>I'd rather talk about it in person. Its really freaking me out
>Sorry, I don't know if I can get out tonight, think we can talk about it at lunch tommorow.
>Sure.

Our conversation ended and he didn't show up to school the next day.

Or the next.

Or the next.

The rest of the week.

Two weeks.

Three weeks.

Our classmates becae progressively more worried. Pinky cried a lot, Deku came up with theories and ideas, pikachu was in denial, sonic tried to keep everyone calm, I felt like I was about to lose my mind with fear and anger.

Aizawa told us after the first weekend that his family reported him missing. They had called him down for dinner and when he didn't come they went into his room to find it empty, and he had left his phone.

I sat down in my room with tears welling in my eyes. I pictured his face as clearly as possible and closed my eyes. I imagined the sparkles in his scarlet eyes, the small freckles barely visible from far away, the way his hair fell in front of his eyes when he didn't bother to put it up, and the brightness of his smile. I cried thinking about his presence, being able to touch him, and feel his warmth, see him smiling.

After trying a few times I opened my eyes and saw nothing. The room was pitch black. I heard quiet sobs behind be and turned around, waiting for my eyes to ajust to the darkness.

As my vision cleared, I saw Kirishima tied up, a rope around his wrists, behind the chair he was in and a cloth wrapped around his face and in his mouth to keep him quiet. Tears stained his face as he cried with shut eyes, sobbing through the cloth.

His eyes snapped open and he stared straight through me as a light shined in the room. I turned back and saw the door at the top of a set of stairs was open, and the silhouette of someone standing there.

I whipped my head around when I heard terrified sobs come from him. The look of horror on his face was unbearable, he shook his head, begging to be let go.

I would kill whoever did this to him, I turned around as I heard their footsteps nearing, but was ripped out of the vision before I could see their face as my attention was drawn to my phone ringing.

I angrily wiped my tears and and answered the phone. "What!?" I snapped.

"I'm sorry, kacchan, I know you don't like me calling, I just wanted to make sure you're okay.."

"I'm fine, leave me alone," I spat.

"O-okay, don't worry too much. By kacch--" I hung up.

I put my face in my hands and reviewed what I saw. The way his glossed eyes begged was heartbreaking to see, but at least I know he's alive. On the other hand, who knows what that person is doing to him at this moment. The only thing I saw of his captor before being ripped away was a few strands of yellow hair..
