The few seconds left before he went completely out, he could hear the faint voice of Mr. Kurayami calling out.

"Todoroki?! Hang in there... Keii!"

Under his eyelids, everything of the world was shielded away from him, and what was left was just black nothingness. The dark enveloped him, it took him in and kept him there in the depths of his mind.

Shoto couldn't see anything, but his ears picked up on the distant mumbles that came to him. He wasn't able to tell what the words were, but he knew it was from the voice of a male. It was too deep to be one of his classmates' voices, and it definitely didn't sound like his father's voice as well, so who could it be?

Then he could feel his body being shaken, someone was trying to wake him maybe? But he didn't want to wake up from this peaceful darkness that engulfed him. It was pleasant, a place where he couldn't -no, didn't have to think of his problems in the real world. It gave him solace here, the silence, the emptiness, the nothingness.

"To... roki? Are you awake?" A piercing light suddenly invaded the darkness he was in, and it gave his eyes an irritating burning sensation, making him groan in annoyance at such a bright light.

By the time he mustered the will to really open his eyes, his blurry vision cleared to the view of a man right in front of him, which startled him slightly.

Blinking his eyes, the man become more clearer to reveal Mr. Kurayami who helped him into a sitting position on the couch he was laid on.

"Are you okay? Is there any pain you feel anywhere? A headache? Muscle pains or cramps?" The older man questioned, looking at Shoto for any other injuries while the latter only shook his head.

"I'm fine, sir. How long was I out for?" Shoto glanced around the living room of the Kurayami Household, spotting Keii on the coffee table in front of him, staring back at him intensely, Shoto found the stare somewhat in unnerving.

"Not long, maybe half an hour. But it seems that you're fine now. It's a miracle that you made it here at the right time. If you hadn't, it would've been too late." Mr. Kurayami sighed in relief, confusing Shoto. What did he mean by 'too late'?

"Before Shiro was taken, she told me to find Keii. I didn't understand why she said that when she was the one in danger." He said, his gaze on what reaction the older of the two held on his face, only to see a look of indifference and understanding on the words he had spoken.

"Yes, you see you're injury. It was from Shiro right?-" Shoto nodded reluctantly. "-Well, she told you to find Keii is because of that. To help you out."

"But what does the injury have to do with it?" He asked.

"Keii is the only one that can heal injuries made from Shiro's attacks." Shoto took a few moments to comprehend this new-found information, he took another look at the cat -who was already staring back- and wondered just how powerful of a Quirk it actually has.
