Muffled Screams | BNHA IzuOcha Children

O N E | Guilt

I opened my eyes to see pure darkness, followed by a chuckle, coming from this same darkness.

- Kuh-kuh... Hello there.

I instantly shot my eyes open, looking around. I felt tight ropes tied around my wrists and tape on my mouth.

I felt a soft fabric on my face, a blindfold.

I tried moving, but I felt really tired, like I had just ran a marathon.

- Welcome, my dear Ikuzu and Okacho, kuh-kuh-kuh...

[A/N: Not a typo...]

I recognized this voice...

Shigaraki.

- Let me explain the situation to you. I took you back to where you belong, by my side~! You're Master's experiments too, you know?

He giggled. He was clearly unstable.

- These last two years, I worked on a serum I called "Sleep Stand". It basically makes you quirkless... but! you also become very weak and tired, and guess what?

He giggled yet again, but more psychotic.

- Oh wait, you can't answer me. Well, it lasts forever! So, you guys will forever be with me~!

He burst out into an insane laughter.

- Aaaaaand, it's no use escaping, we are hidden deep in a moutain right now, where no one will even think to look.

He let out a squeal of excitement.

- Ahhhhh! I can't wait! Hihi!

"He's gone completely insane." I thought.

I shivered to this thought.

- Now, I'll leave you here for some time before bringing you to your room for the rest of your life. Enjoy some alone time.

He closed the door.

Silence.

I knew Ochako was beside me.

...

"Why did I allow myself to get us kidnapped again?!"

"I'm such a loser!"

I wanted to punch myself in the face.

I felt my eyes getting wet from tears of rage.

That's when I heard soft sad chuckles coming from my side.

Soft low crying ,the crying of someone who's given up.

I couldn't do anything.

I am useless.
