I prefer the Dark (A Fanfic I Wrote Back In High School)|| A Todoroki x Reader

Forty seven

"What the Hell happened to your hair?!" Deku asked.

You ran your fingers through your now messy hair, discovering that it's barely a braid. "Um, sorry." You said not answering his question.

Deku sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. "Did you sweat out your hair?"

"A little."

"Well, it's not all that bad. If I were you, I'd fix it back up." Deku says while unbraiding your hair seeing no use of the braid anymore.

"I have things to do, Me and All might are heading down to the village, See you in a bit." Deku says while patting your cheek.

Just as he left you were approached by Midnight. "Hello my dear." She greats.

"Hello." You say. "I need to have a girl to girl talk to with you (y/n), shall we?" She says while opening the door to your room.

"Okay." You said a bit unsure. You both took a seat on the couch. "Now then I must ask you, have you had your red moon this month?" She asked.

You gave a nod. "Yes."

(So, here's how periods work in this AU. When a girl is coming on her period at a certain time of each month, she will have a red crescent appear on the back of her hand, until it becomes a full red moon and her uterus will bleed for exactly 12 hours and that's the end of her period and the moon disappears until the next month. I know it doesn't make any sense but it's fanfiction and I thought of this at 3 am on a Monday.)

"Well then, I should tell you something very important. I believe that it's around the time that vampires have their mating season."

You blinked. "Could you run that by me again?"

"Mating season. It's basically when..."

"I know what a mating season is Midnight. I mean what are you trying to tell me, that Todoroki..."

"Todoroki is going through...that yes. And I needed to talk to you about it. I want you to take extra precautions around him. I don't know if you mind doing it every other day but if you do, make sure you have the protection I told you about. I doubt you want to get pregnant anytime soon."

"No."

"Good, and I made you a spell that'll last the mating week. You're gonna be just fine." Midnight reassures.

"So what's gonna happen with Todoroki?" You asked.

"Well, most Alpha vampires give off an alluring scent to make their mates more comfortable during sex but not forcing themselves on them. If you're not in the mood he'll...you know taking care of it himself. It's just something I thought you would like to know."

"Oh, so that's why he's been all touchy lately. So, am I like his first person who ever mated with him?"

"Yeah. Especially since you're his soul mate."

"So, this whole soul mate thing. Does it work a certain way?"

"Well, that's a good question. You see, sometimes when two people are in love no matter their past or their flaws that's how a soul mate is formed in that way. Another way, it just happens by faith or destiny." Midnight says.

"So, you're saying that Todoroki and I were destined to be together?" You asked.

Midnight just gives you a smile. "Maybe so dear."

Meanwhile, deep in the forest

"The mist has cleared, it's a perfect time to collect new herbs." Says a witch doctor who has just finished her travels.

She traveled across the soft ground enjoying the scent of the forest until she picked up on another smell. "Huh, that's odd."

She takes another inhale through her nose. "Mm, something was buried here." She walked closer, the smell getting stronger. The young woman stopped in front of the spot and placed the gunny sack that was on her shoulder on the ground next to her.

She got on her knees and started to dig the spot. "Your curiosity always gets the best of you Kyoka." She tells herself.

She stopped digging and stumbled upon something. "Huh, these are bones. Human bones at that." She says. She quickly grabs her gunny sack and starts collecting the bones. Lastly was the skull. "A female was buried here, the bones are still fresh." She gently places the skull in her sack and makes her way back deeper into the woods to where her cottage ways.

She enters and goes to her giant cauldron that was in the center of the room and starts to make a fire underneath after filling the large black pot with fresh water.

As the water started to boil the witch doctor walked over towards her bottles filled with different herbs and went back to the cauldron. "Now, let's see if I can remember this correctly."

"Sage, Holy basil, Chamomile, Rue, Jasmine, and Rose oil." The witch doctor took a giant stick and started to stir the ingredients as it boiled and steamed up. "Now then." She retrieved her gunny sack and placed the bones inside the stew.

Kyoka grabbed her witch doctor staff and shook it over the cauldron, the beads on the top of her staff rattling as she chanted an incantation until the pot rattled and boiled over, she watched as two hands grabbed onto the rim of the pot and hoisted the owner of said hands up from the pot and saw as the upper half of a naked girl appeared gasping loudly for air.

The witch doctor couldn't believe her eyes. The young woman she resurrected her skin pale as it slowly turned back to its natural color, her long black hair resting over her bare breast. Her dark eyes scanning the room filled with jar and vials of different elixirs and herbs, books and papers scattered across the chairs and tables.

Her eyes finally landed on the woman who brung her back to life as her chest still heaved from regaining her breath.

The witch doctor had short purple hair a bit messy with a few feathers and charms in it, she wore long feathered earrings and a few tribal markings under her eyes, she wore a long purple tribal dress with slits on both sides showing her black pants along with a pair of rugged black boots.

"Hey There." The witch doctor says softly.

"W-where am I? W-who are you?" The girl in the cauldron asked.

"Um, I'm Kyoka Jirou. And...welcome to the land of the living."

A/n: So, I was originally gonna bring Momo back into the story after a series of plots that would happen later on. I saw that a lot of people were upset that I killed her off earlier in the story for plot reasons. I want to make all my readers happy, but it's just fanfiction and people were making too much fuss about it. And it was just a little rushed at the time. Stay tuned~❤
